Working Without Pants - Creative Entrepreneurship
On this episode, I sit down with Jason Bay of Blissful Prospecting. Jason and I are in the same Outbound industry, but we took different paths. His business helps sales teams to bring in more leads through cold outreach. Sales reps are great at taking demos and doing sales calls, but the struggle is often that the marketing team isn't filling their pipeline with leads - Blissful Prospecting provides training for sales teams so they can fill their pipeline with more organic leads (and depend less on the marketing team).
 
If you're interested in the outbound industry, you'll enjoy being a fly on the wall as we discuss the different paths you can take within 'outbound'. We also dive into topics like the dynamics of being a business partner with your wife and the psychological and mental challenges of being an entrepreneur.
 
We're all navigating our businesses through tough times right now, there's tons of food for thought on that topic this conversation.

This week I speak with Geoff Atkinson of Huckabuy. Geoff was previously employed in the corporate world at Overstock.com as the Senior VP of Marketing and successfully transitioned to running his own business at Huckabuy, which is now generating over 1M MRR.
 
Geoff's first entrepreneurial endeavor started as a B2C affiliate website and eventually pivoted to a performance-based SEO software company. It took at least 2-3 years to find their footing, but they eventually found a way to respond to market needs.
 
Don't miss out on this episode, Geoff has great advice for first-time entrepreneurs trying to build a strong revenue-driven business. Whatever your brilliant idea is, be open to the fact that it might not be what the market wants and you may need to take the time to create change so you can pivot and respond to what the market wants.
