1. Leverage podcasting for business development. Ledge found success using a podcast to connect with high-level prospects, leading to millions in sales. Consider starting a show focused on your target market to build relationships.
2. Explore fractional sales solutions. For B2B service companies struggling with sales, a fractional revenue team like Add1Zero can provide the full sales function without the overhead of hiring internally.
3. Streamline content production. Look into tools like Riggg that enable real-time video production and multi-format content creation from a single recording session to maximize efficiency.
4. Use AI strategically. Rather than relying on AI to generate content, use it to analyze existing content, sales calls, and customer interactions to derive strategic insights for your business.
5. Prioritize ruthlessly. As an entrepreneur juggling multiple ventures, focus relentlessly on revenue-generating activities and build strong partnerships to divide responsibilities effectively.
"Experience is what allows you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. You had to screw up a lot. I don't know that I couldn't have done that at the beginning, but I am able to leverage it now."
"I'm a revenue first guy. If we're going to do a company, everything's about revenue. The second thing is doing that in a high integrity way. The third is approaching it with calm confidence."
"Wisdom is the accumulation of error. Why do you know that? Because I did it wrong so many times."
