In the first episode of The Ecom Show, we invited John Hill, the founder of Adapted Growth. An excellent consultant at habits, sales, efficiency martial arts and entrepreneurship.

This is what you will learn in the new episode:

✔️ What and why DISC is the best personality assessment to help you in real-life situations

✔️ The key to great communication: awareness of your personality and the personality of others

✔️ What extreme ownership really means in leadership

Dominance, Influence, Compliance, and Steadiness (DISC). DISC breaks people in 4 different quadrants. Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Business owners can figurate exactly which quadrant the person you are working with is.

Creating a groundwork helps you organize your daily tasks and see which characteristics you have when you are on "task mode".

Communication is a huge skill and we don't give enough credibility for it accordingly. The is also important to help you organize daily tasks with your team.

If you are successful it doesn't mean other coworkers following you will be successful as well. You should understand yourself and other people as well.

DISC is easier to use, then you can have the conversation that will help the person using what is needed to. And you can also approach that person using the correct way.

As a business owner, It is hard to find good people when we talk about hiring. When it doesn't work, it is more on the owner, instead of the person. The owner needs to think if he/she can work well with that person.

Before going into a hiring process, the most important is to understand which personality would work better in that position. Then you can focus on searching for someone with that personality.

Build a team that know what is expected from them and what is a success for the whole business. Once you have that clear, your team will most likely act like a fanatic group focused on a common goal: the success of the business.

The importance of communication does not stay only for your business, but also for your family interaction and day to day tasks.

On the 3rd episode of our podcast, we receive another Daniel (not Budai's Daniel). To avoid confusion, let's present him: Daniel Varga!

Key points from this episode:

• Make sure you are ready to develop your business in a new market
• Building a brand from a niche and scaling it up to the local market
• People are important, not only numbers

If you are doing well in your country doesn't mean it will work outside your country.

Make sure you adapt your business and you are ready for the challenge to start in another country.

You can select a niche and start from there. That's the first step for some business owners.

But you can also open a general store and go after the trends. You always want to surf on the wave.

Have experience in the local market you are selling or aiming to sell, will help you know what your audience wants.

Most marketers focus only on numbers. But it is important to remember that, behind numbers, are people.

So having an actual knowledge of what your audience is talking about you will definitely help to improve your business.

You shouldn't be patient with your actions, but you should be patient with the results.

In this episode, Roop Singh, CEO at FifthWeapon, talks about corporate advertising and 7-8 figure marketing.

You need to measure numbers to understand how a strategy is performing. It is undeniable that metrics are important.

People need to think there are customers behind the numbers. And focus on the creative behind the metrics.

One of the cold journeys of your customer will be: see the add, go to the landing page, add to cart, initiate checkout, purchase.

For each different step there will be specific KPIs. And all of them should be measured accordingly to make sure the goals are being met.

As a final thought, if you are creative, your results will most likely go beyond the goal you established.

Understand today how eCommerce entrepreneurs succeed in their business. The stages most eCommerce business passes all over the globe. And know how to use dropshipping well.

Some topics covered on this podcast:

1. How most eCommerce business owners start their online store;
2. What dropshipping and poker have in common;
3. Successful entrepreneurs: best practices most eCommerce owners need to have.

We demystify all of this in this podcast with the Senior Account Manager at Budai Media, Ben Erdelyi.

The business needs to adapt new best practices and keep following the marketing trends to reach and retain customers.

Most online store owners started selecting a few products they would like to promote. After a while, they saw what product performed the best and they hit the next stage, which is building an online store to make their customers have their experience.

Once the store has a good number of customers, the business owner starts to implement the retention marketing strategy. But this all takes too much time and previous knowledge. That's why some online store owners prefer to hire an agency, to build up their marketing strategy, which is an even better option.

A recent article about dropshipping made some people think twice about this way of doing online sales. The truth is that dropshipping is a way to start your journey on eCommerce.

If you ever played poker, you know how is to take risks. In dropshipping you are also taking risks. And that's the common thing between poker and dropshipping. But, if you know how to dropship, what is the problem in doing that?

Some really successful eCommerce business owners started as dropshipping. And then they hit the stage of building a brand, creating an inventory, and manufacturing their own products. And if you can use dropshipping as a step to succeed with your eCommerce, there is no reason to be ashamed of it.

During his career, Ben had the opportunity to have his own eCommerce and tried different strategies. By hitting the marketing place, he met great people from the online business world and noticed the issue of micromanagement.

Efficiency is the key and this will have a direct impact on your ROI. You should care about the results, always.

As a final insight, Ben said: focus on the right thing!
