5 simple steps to driving profitable growth through sales

Business owners have a love-hate relationship with sales. Sales is the lifeblood of a business - you need it to drive growth. In fact, it is the #1 skill you need to start, grow and scale your business. But entrepreneurs don't get into business to become great at sales. How can you develop this skill, and, even better, how can you enable your team to do it so you're not the main person doing all the sales and bringing in all the revenue?
 
That's why we've enlisted our team's Head of Entrepreneurial Development, Stev Lackovic, to give you a really simple 5 step breakdown for how you can start improving your sales and start increasing profitable business growth. From changing your mindset around sales to altering your sales messaging and focus, to giving you the key elements to a highly effective sales process, this is the episode of The Make It Happen Show where it's time for you to make your sales work for you. Lean into these principles we discuss in this episode and watch your business transform.

Great content again from The Entourage! Particularly like the 1st episode and the points Tim Fung made about making sure you make time to map out the future and don't get stuck on day to day 'work', as well as the observation that you really need to be strategic about your people management and not just try to save money. Two awesome take homes I have already taken action on!

For entrepreneurs and non-trepeneurs alike

Well this was one of the best things I’ve heard in a while. I’m by no means the target demographic, having zero business or entrepreneurial experience at all. Luckily the advice given for business growth and success is remarkably applicable to personal growth and success. Loved the conversational style, by the end of the podcast I felt like I knew both Tims personally, which is a great mark of engagement. And I loved hearing about the humble beginnings of Airtasker from the founder himself. Give this a listen if you’re craving a bit of personal or professional inspiration.
