Tropical MBA: Entrepreneurship & Founder Lifestyle

#769 - $100K MRR in 12 Months… Can They Do It?


Listen Later

These co-founders want to more than triple their revenue in the next 12 months. Despite stagnation the past few years, they believe they can get there.

Dan & Ian dissect their plans to achieve this goal and offer some counterintuitive advice.

They cover repackaging a product for a higher cost, focusing on your premium customers, and how to lead a sales call.

In this week’s newsletter, we include our favorite resources for getting started with sales calls.

TMBA email subscribers can also apply to get business coaching from Dan & Ian live on the pod (it’s free).

Today’s guests are Elburz Sorkhabi and Colin Gibson, founders of The Interactive & Immersive HQ.
