27. How to Build a Thriving Software Company (From Scratch)


Listen Later

Most businesses today use some kind of software to run their business, and starting a software company lets entrepreneurs capitalize on this trend. That’s what Ed Warren did when he converted his mobile detailing shop into a software company for independent mobile business owners, and today they’re thriving as one of the top mobile business software providers in the country.

Ed started Zippity to provide mobile mechanic, detailing, and tire services to people while they were at work. The pandemic forced them to pivot, leading them to sell their in-house software to others who run a mobile business. This proved to be a smart move, and Zippity is now thriving as a software provider.

In this interview, we’ll hear Ed’s advice for how to start a software company. We’ll find out how he developed the software and the processes he uses in his own business, his top strategies for finding leads and converting them to sales, and his advice for growing revenue quickly.
