In this week’s Hardcore MBA, I talked to JC to get some of his insight on the business world. We discussed:
- The important differences between sales, marketing, and public relations.
- How to develop the right relationship skills to manage your team, whatever their temperament.
- And the use of an assembly line model for getting the most out of your salespeople.
JC told me “it takes time to make a business work, it’s not something you can expect to materialize overnight. I always say that you have to expect to spend at least a year on a business before it will really take off. And because running a business is so time-consuming, the role of a B2B marketing company like ourselves is to allow you to focus on the core tasks while we help you to grow the client base.”
