Hello, I’m Kevin Brent and on this week’s episode of ScaleUp Radio I’m speaking to Christophe Convert from Convert Design.

 

They started as Convert Solutions in 2008, but changed their name just a couple of years ago to Convert Design. Christophe himself, though, has been in the industry for over 20 years.

 

As you’ll hear, they help clients to design and a develop products from a sketch or idea to a 3D design or a finished product.

 

Our conversation covered the client journey through the company, the business model and Christophe’s origins in the design world.

 

There’s also quite a bit of help and advice for all business owners, including:

 

 -  How you can structure and maintain a national company, using a very small team.

 - Why you need to keep your marketing going - no matter how busy you are with clients at any one time.

 -  Why dismissing trust between you and your clients can be very damaging to your business.

 

As you’ll hear, Christophe is quite laid back in that Gallic way - but the passion and ambition for the future of the company still manages to show through.
