Robert Henderson is the Co-founder and CEO for JumpCrew, which partners with B2B companies to accelerate their customer acquisition.

In this episosde, we dive into GRIT, and how to instill it in yourself and your team.

Robert launched JumpCrew in 2016 after realizing how quickly the world was transitioning from in-person interactions to internet and phone-based communications, and that traditional marketers and outside/outbound sales teams were struggling to understand the nuances around inside/inbound customer acquisition. JumpCrew was founded as a tool that would easily and predictably scale inbound/inside selling.

Fast forward five years, and JumpCrew has expanded its full funnel product to integrate digital marketing with sales to accelerate their client's business growth. JumpCrew's solutions combine technology with a human touch with a growing roster of clients in publishing, healthcare, media, and technology to help them build awareness, increase leads, and convert sales. The company is headquartered in Nashville, TN.
