Entrepreneurs on Fire

Description

Top 3 Value Bombs

1. Long-term success comes from relentless follow-up, genuine relationships, and never judging a prospect by appearances.

2. Disruption starts with making an industry experience fresh, fun, and brand-focused, even in something as traditional as used car sales.

3. Transitioning from brick-and-mortar to SaaS requires patience, adaptability, and leveraging your network to build massive early buzz.
