Rogue Startups

RS323: Breaking Through Plateaus with Josh Ho


Listen Later

Today on the Rogue Startups Podcast, Craig chats with Josh Ho from Referral Rock about the peaks and valleys of being a founder. When is the right time to sell? Is there ever a right time? How do you break through a plateau in your business growth? How do you switch from wearing your visionary hat to your marketing and sales hat? They also do a deep dive into when and how you should go about delegating tasks so you can focus on more important things.

Josh built Referral Rock from the ground up. Referral Rock helps customers run end-to-end referral programs with frictionless sharing, nudge reminders, and rewards customers actually care about. They help bring in more referrals from happy customers — through a remarkable referral experience — without the pain of building & tracking it all yourself.
