| 3 cheatsheets for founders learning how to do sales calls (Inbound Calls, Cold Calls, Demo Calls) Posted: 28 Apr 2021 07:38 AM PDT For many founders, the first sales calls might seem daunting. But especially if you're running a B2B business, this experience will come to you sooner than later. I compiled 3 cheat sheets to help anyone getting started at sales calls: My use case is selling an enterprise SaaS product, but I think that even if you're not in this industry there are plenty of learnings you can take from these. Feel free to use them as much as you like. I'd recommend bringing these 3 cheatsheets for your first 100 calls (at least). > If you need additional help, I have also compiled a descriptive guide on how to use the first cheat sheet, Sales Calls With Inbound Leads. You can check it here. The guides for the other two cheatsheets are still on my to-do list ;) ------ Hope you have as much fun as I had with the cheatsheets. Enjoy the process and don't let it consume you! - Happy to help. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2021 02:43 AM PDT Hi there, I am about to step into the entrepreneur zone and I am looking for someone that can mentor me. I haven't sent out a post like this before so excuse the vagueness but if you need more details, feel free to reach out. [link] [comments]  |
| Online communities for entrepreneurs Posted: 28 Apr 2021 09:44 AM PDT Hey guys, after spending some time looking for valuable communities for entrepreneurs it seems all I find is spam. So I wanted to ask if any of you know any good communities? (Paid is fine as long as it's valuable!) Let me know by DM if you can help me out with a suggestion. [link] [comments]  |
| What’s the deal with Forbes 30 under 30?? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:27 PM PDT Heard lots of bad stuff about it such as companies paying Forbes money for their employees to be included. Since it all seems to be done behind closed doors, wondering if anyone can shed some light on what's going on there? [link] [comments]  |
| I need help with sending bulk emails Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:14 PM PDT So I have around 550 emails in my survey form. I also have my domain name and a the free tier Zoho mail account. I was wondering whether I should send emails to those 550 people using a service like MailChimp or shall I just write a code and automate sending mails one by one? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:12 PM PDT I have a business opportunity with an overseas friend (we want to establish a partnership); however, there is too much information I don't know where to start. I was trying to register an LLC in my state. For example, I am not sure how to classify my business. We want to sell specific cleaning hardware overseas. so we will be involved in custom and shipping operations [link] [comments]  |
| Should I set up an LLC if I want to sell on Spring (formerly Teespring)? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:05 PM PDT I want to start selling designs on Spring as my first entrepreneurial activity and I'm wondering if I need to set up an LLC to do it or if I can just do it myself. This is starting off as a side hustle and will maybe move onto other activities such as drop shipping, print on demand, etc. I'm in the US. I'm very new to all of this so any help would be great. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| A Guide to the Top Three Financial Reports for Small Businesses Posted: 28 Apr 2021 01:05 PM PDT A few times in my consulting and accounting career, I have had to explain very basic financial topics to seasoned business owners. I have talked to VPs of billion-dollar companies that didn't understand a balance sheet and to new business owners that couldn't understand why they had to pay tax on a million dollars. Both scenarios featured highly successful businesses that lacked only a simple explanation of what their numbers reflected. Business owners get so busy running their business that sometimes it's hard to get a bigger picture of what is happening. With the plethora of information available to everyone online, it can be hard to distill it down to useful knowledge. It's easy to get so consumed by the details that we can't see the forest for the trees. This is especially true in business accounting systems. There are many useful reports for a business owner to review to gauge and better understand their business's financial health. With cloud-based accounting, there are a plethora of reports available. The problem lies with information overload: Which report do you choose, and what information is relevant? Here are some quick tips to understand the three main reports, how they relate to each other, and how to quickly apply them to your business. Income Statement The income statement is probably the simplest report to understand. It's the money that your business received from selling products or providing services less the expenses your business incurred to provide those products or services. Remember, the income statement does not include any loan payments or asset purchases. Most often than not, what isn't included in the income statement is what business owners need to understand more. Balance Sheet The balance sheet is the second most familiar report and useful since it shows the balances in all your accounts. Depending on your industry, this report might only include your bank account, or it might be the backbone of your business if you have many assets. The balance sheet in accounting is almost exclusively reported on a historical cost. This means, for example, that if your business purchased stock 30 years ago for $500, it will still show as a $500 asset and not at its market value today. Statement of Cash Flow The cash flow statement will give you an overview of what cash has been going in and out of your business that didn't make it to the income statement. For example, if you took out a loan, then you will have a big deposit to your bank account; this is not revenue, however, so it won't show up on your income statement. The cash flow statement will also show you how much money was distributed to owners or investors as dividends. [link] [comments]  |
| Incredible Idea with Guaranteed Market. Pigeons! Posted: 28 Apr 2021 03:50 AM PDT I live on a Mediterranean island. There are pigeons everywhere. But for some reason, they tend to favor certain neighborhoods and roofs over others. If you are one of the chosen ones, your life is hell. You have 20-30 pigeons on your roof constantly, the noise is unbearable. And of course pigeon poop is everywhere! You will spend lots of money cleaning, repairing the roof (pigeon poop is incredibly acidic), removing nests, power spraying the pavement, etc. You will need to enclose parts of your garden to prevent poop from falling on you when you eat outside, or grill, etc. Long story short, if pigeons move into your neighborhood or onto your roof, it's a disaster. It impacts your quality of life and the resell value of your home. And homeowners are willing to pay a lot of $$$ to fix the problem. But for some reason, there seems to be no real fix! It's a massive problem impacting millions, people are ready to spend thousands of dollars to get rid of their pigeons, and yet they have no solution! How is that possible? And just to be clear, many of the "solutions" touted by others are useless. Pigeons are incredibly smart and things like fake owls or kites or plastics snakes on the roof or whatever do not work. They may scare the pigeons for a day or two. But eventually they figure it out and come back. Spikes on the roof are useless. Nothing works! It's 2021 and the pigeons are winning.... There has got to be a way to solve this problem! And whoever does, will have a multi-million dollar business. Thoughts? How can we get creative and find a solution to this problem? Because whoever does will make millions. [link] [comments]  |
| Best advice and resources for starting a startup Posted: 28 Apr 2021 06:30 AM PDT I'm just starting out, I'm 18 male in the UK. I currently am a college student working part time in software. All of my family is working class (which doesn't matter but context) and I know no one who I am close to who have started a business. I love my job at this startup, but I genuinely don't feel working for someone is for me. I have £10k that I have saved (which isn't a huge capital) to put directly into my idea that me and my friend are wanting to work on. I am completely willing to lose it (which is likely for most startups) but I want some tips for starting a partnership business in the UK. Our idea is tech related and will have a web app and mobile app (initially for IOS) which I can build on my own, however, if it works out I would prefer to have someone/people to work on the projects. Our main issue is contacting people who might be interested in using our service, without them the service will be nothing, so it's more important to talk to people rather than the software itself. What are the best resources for someone just starting out? I have zero experience in starting a company yet and would love to try it. I'm think both of us have our own strengths. I can communicate to people and handle the software, whereas my friend is a real people person and knows what's hot and what's not. [link] [comments]  |

| Business owners need to create a succession plan Posted: 28 Apr 2021 10:09 AM PDT Small and family businesses hold a unique place amongst business statistics. Worldwide, it is estimated that family businesses make up 80-90% of all firms. They are the most prominent employer of people, well everywhere! Yet the majority will never formally put a succession plan in place. THE NEXT GEN TENDS TO FU*K IT UPThe most commonly accepted statistic is that 30% of family businesses will survive the second generation. Not great when you consider that means 2/3rds will not survive the second generation. Unfortunately it gets worse from there. The third generation has a success rate of only 10-15%. And the fourth generation only succeeds at 3-5%. That's pretty depressing. Now you can spin it positively by bringing up that there was a 59 year study run by a couple of Dartmouth professors, and read by us in the Harvard Business Review, that found the average publicly traded company lasted 15 years. So essentially one generation. Put that way, a 30% success rate is much better than the on-average 0%-ish success rate of a second generation publicly traded company. However, if it were our name on the business or the building, or the product, we hardly feel like watching it go up in a blaze of incompetent and unplanned glory is any easier knowing we lasted at least as long as our publicly traded counterparts. That's actually really fu*king horrible! Pick a higher bar. THE FAILURES ARE PREDICTABLEThere are a number of reasons why businesses don't succeed when the founding member is ready to pack it in. Some of the more common ones are:
THE REASONS FOR NOT PLANNING ARE ALSO PREDICTABLEThe most common reasons for why these things aren't planned ahead of time:
GROW UP AND HAVE THE HARD CONVERSATIONSBusiness owners have had hard conversations their entire lives. This should be no different. Get it done. Don't whimp out. There's lots at stake. None more important than the families that rely on the income from the people you employ. If no other reason, make that your primary motivation for ensuring a smooth transition. But for selfish reasons, think of your legacy. You have just spent a lifetime growing this enterprise. Don't have your families lasting impression being Jr driving it into the ground like a tent stake. It's better to discuss ahead of time your plans and requirements. And maybe that means your child or whomever you pick isn't actually the right person. There's more shame in choosing wrong and having it fail, than choosing someone with a different last name. Or selling to an outside source that you know will properly run what you've created. it's difficult. And sometimes you need a mediator to help get through the family bullsh*t drama. That's money well spent. (Shameless self-promotion here, but hey, it's out newsletter so we'll kinda do what we want, so long as you don't unsubscribe! 🙏. We just actually launched our digital workshop that takes you through planning your succession. Check it out here.) How you unwind your business is your choice. But it seems like such a waste to let it fail simply because you couldn't be bothered to plan it a little bit better. You owe your staff, your customers, you vendors and partners, your family, and your own legacy, more than that. If you enjoyed this, maybe I can tempt you with my small business newsletter. It comes out 3 times a week-ish and is full of stories like this. [link] [comments]  |
| Things to Consider BEFORE Becoming an Entrepreneur Posted: 28 Apr 2021 10:07 AM PDT If you're new to entrepreneurship, hopefully this post will provide you with insights that can save you a lot of time and help you discover what you actually want to do with your life. Entrepreneur is defined by google as "a person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so." At its most basic level, an entrepreneur is a person who wants to take a risk in the hope that they will have more freedom. That freedom can come in the form of more money, job satisfaction, free time, or a combination of these. These past few years especially, more and more people are wanting to become entrepreneurs at an exponential rate. This isn't because entrepreneurship has suddenly become more lucrative or an easier way to make money, but because of two fold: the definition of entrepreneurship has been manipulated by the internet and because COVID and other factors have inflicted uncertainty in the economy. Theres a lot of information going around about how you should be an entrepreneur -most of it being contradictory, but there isn't a lot of people stepping back and considering if being an entrepreneur is even right for them. So for the newcomers, here's why you should NOT become an entrepreneur in 2021. Financial GainsNow, I know most people have heard this a million times, but it needs to be reiterated because it seems that this is still the driving force for people wanting to become entrepreneurs. 70% of small business owners fail by their 10th year in business. You are most likely not going to make a lot of money in your first few years as an entrepreneur. I know when I heard this starting out, I thought I was an exception to the rule. I thought my grit and sheer determination would allow me to beat the odds. Boy was I wrong. If you want to make a lot of money, there are a multitude of better careers that offer less risk that will allow you to become successful at a young age. Two of the richest entrepreneurs in the world - Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, among many others, have both said that they did not start their businesses because they wanted to become wealthy. If you don't want to listen to me, at least take their advice. Pursuing entrepreneurship for financial gains also is a great way to get shiny object syndrome. This is where you move from venture to venture, because you see others who have created successful businesses with a certain model and you think "Oooh, I'll try that too!" You Think Entrepreneurship is How it's Depicted on Instagram and YouTubeIf you're a younger entrepreneur, here's a resource that explains the problems young internet entrepreneurs face today and how to combat them. Social media has destroyed the reputation of entrepreneurship in more ways than one. The concept of hustle culture popularized by big names such as Gary Vee which suggests that you should "put your head down and grind" 16 hours a day, sacrificing everything in order to be successful. Remember, we are analyzing this from a perspective of wanting to be happy entrepreneurs. That seems like a horrible strategy in terms of mental and physical health and screams BURNOUT for 99% of people. On the other side of the coin, there are people on Instagram and YouTube who make entrepreneurship look like it's a piece of cake in order to get you into their course funnel. "How I made $100,000 in One Month from Dropshipping" Wow, it just so happens to be on sale too! Granted, some of these people have made a killing selling their courses - which is the real money maker as you all know already. I can't help to think, are these people truly happy with themselves? I've made money dropshipping before and here's what I have to say about it - I felt like I was scamming people. The amount of value that you add to the world is near negligible or perhaps even negative. Selling cheap sh** from China that nobody needs or asked for - you call yourself an entrepreneur? At best, you're a middleman that has decent graphic design and video editing skills which could be used elsewhere, having a much more positive impact. When you see someone talking about entrepreneurship on YouTube or Instagram, selling something to their audience is their business. They have figured out that selling a course to you is more lucrative than actually focusing on that business itself. That's a HUGE red flag. When I look at the successful entrepreneurs I know, none of them are posting on social media trying to help others become successful entrepreneurs. Don't believe these people and please don't become one of them - I almost did. For the Sake of Being an EntrepreneurFor those who have always known that they want to be entrepreneurs, it can be hard to have patience and wait for the right opportunity. The reality is that patience and persistence is the name of the game. The average age of a successful entrepreneur is 45. What does this mean for you? Well, for one thing, it means that getting a 9-5 job isn't going to kill you. It will provide you with experiences that will lead you to meeting potential business partners and learning valuable skills - usually how NOT to run a business. I assume many of you are like me - If I am not working on something entrepreneurial, I don't feel whole. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be your own business - you can help other people start their businesses and get that same type of feeling, get paid for it, and have less stress. TLDR: Don't choose to become an "entrepreneur". Focus on doing what you love and becoming good at it. [link] [comments]  |
| I have a business idea with a relatively obvious unexplored niche and don’t know what to do? Posted: 28 Apr 2021 08:37 AM PDT I have a business idea but I have no idea how to grow. Should I focus on finding associates to help with the technology aspect of it? Or should finish packaging the idea and then try and find investors? How do I even find investors besides shark tank lol? Sorry to be so vague but since mine would be the first in this niche, I'm naturally hesitant. I know how to develop the basic technology part of the product, but I would need help with some of the more complex parts. So what should I start with first? [link] [comments]  |
| How to write a cover letter when you have no experience Posted: 28 Apr 2021 08:22 AM PDT Landing your first job is no small feat. One reason it can be challenging is because you need to write a resume and cover letter, but you don't have much to put on those two important piece of paper. You may be wondering how to write a cover letter with no experience to back you up. Don't panic—it's just the situation you're in when you're fresh out of school. Still, putting your best foot forward when applying for an entry-level job is a must. A well-crafted cover letter can help you get a job over other candidates who didn't bother to send one in. Take these steps to get the job done. [link] [comments]  |
| Best place to discuss ideas and find business partners? (UK) Posted: 28 Apr 2021 08:14 AM PDT Long time lurker here - ready to delve into the entrepreneurial world and set up an online business. My skillset is with the tech - I can confidently develop everything required for fully functioning e-commerce websites.. I'm lacking in the creativity/advertising side of things. I'm looking for a community to discuss ideas, provide/receive help and advice from others with different skill sets and potential partner up with others that can do the opposite side of the business to myself.

| Tool to help ecommerce entrepreneurs create personalized thank you videos for customers using AI Posted: 27 Apr 2021 06:22 PM PDT Hey all! I've been talking to ecommerce entrepreneurs about how they personalize experiences for their customers, and I recently learned that a personalized video can be a big driver of conversion and repeat purchases! But obviously, as an insanely busy ecommerce seller, it's really hard to create a new video for each of your customers. My friend and I built a little software tool that uses AI to automatically create videos for your customers. The videos will look and sound like you made them for your customers but will be automatically generated by software. What do you all think? Would something like this be useful for you?

This is not financial advice, do your own research if you like the project, but check out their very interesting white paper: https://static.hips.com/pdf/white_paper/merchant_token_white_paper.pdf This is HUGE in my opinion. This to me looks like an undiscovered hidden gem. The missing piece for crypto payments to reach massive market penetration and mainstream consumer acceptance in a global mega market (POS? I mean, EVERYWHERE!) with the potential to go parabolic and explode as soon as this hits the exchanges (July 2021). The ICO started on 1 April and is scheduled for 90 days until end of June, but already sold out 50 of 100 phases after only 10 days. Very important additional aspect for my investment decision to BUY: Limited to only 100 million tokens total supply – still at only $0.90 each right NOW ! Compare this to 1 billion DOT, 2 billion Filecoin, 45 billion ADA, 100 billion Ripple and check their current prices. Some people on twitter already see it at $15 and even $100 in the future.

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 09:58 PM PDT This is almost more of a personal development or philosophy post. I'm a middle aged guy and spent my working life so far in journalism, nonprofits, and law. All of these fields have required a "critical" perspective, and I have done okay at them because that's how I am naturally. I am naturally critical and skeptical. But as I've aged I have also seen the shortcomings of being so critical, and I have admired folks who build and create and innovate in spite of the tensions they may have to overcome. I wish I could do this kind of affirmative, building work, but I'm honestly not sure I have the skills or the personality to do it. I've done lots of creative writing projects, like blogs and so forth, but the sales piece of it has never been something I'm any good at. I don't have the greatest people skills in the world, which I suppose relates to the fact that I've always been more of a writer/observer. Anyway, I just wanted to share this perspective. It's strange being aware of one's own shortcomings but not really knowing how to change and break out of them. [link] [comments]  |
