Building a brand is challenging. But, building a brand in a category that doesn’t exist is a NIGHTMARE.

But that’s the fun part of the entrepreneurial journey!

Chris Meade, co-founder, and CMO of CROSSNET, came up with the simplest yet smartest way of getting the initial customers.

He went on to build the fastest-growing sporting goods company on the planet.

The company sold over 100,000 (and counting) 4-way volleyball net across the world and is available in all big-box retailers in the United States.

  • Ways of getting the first 100 customers and building a loyal customer base
  • Using video marketing to reach more people
  • Singular way of staying ahead of the competition
  • How Amazon fits into the DTC strategy
