  • Episode 16: Selling Your Product Is More Than A Perfect Pitch
    We spend so much time crafting the perfect slide decks, marketing copy, and optimizing our sales pitch. However, selling your product is so much more than a fleeting make or break moment where you only get a short amount of time to convince someone that your product is worthy. Yes, cutting through the noise is important, but you need to think about how to craft an experience that helps people buy into you and also into your product.

  • Episode 14: Defining Success For Yourself
    In this episode, Scott and Robert will be talking about defining success for yourself and how that impacts starting and growing your business.
    We all start businesses for different reasons and define success in different ways. As you get older, I’ve found that my view of success changes and my priorities shift. Sometimes it’s not all about money, but it’s the freedom to do work you find interesting or flexibility the spend time with your family. As we start the New Year, I thought it would be good to ask yourself some questions about how you define success and how that impacts starting and growing your business.

  • Episode 12: How To Eliminate Boredom From Your Job and Your Business
    I thought it would be useful to look at boredom in your job from two different perspectives. The first is from the employees point of view. Why boredom occurs, and how you can create opportunities for yourself within a company to advance your career and really to make your job more interesting and fulfilling. The second perspective is from a founder and a leader and how you can create a culture within your company that engages your employees to eliminate boredom and creates a more productive team.

    In this episode Scott and Robert will be talking about product demos and how they can help sell your vision and your product to your customers. When you’re selling your product, showing a demo is better than just talking about it. It helps your customers envision how the product will work for them and fit your needs.
