One of the first thing that an entrepreneur needs to learn how to do is to sell. After that, learn to manage growth. Both of these topics, and a whole lot more are at the core of the conversation I recently had with my good friend (and disclaimer: client) Jon Newton, co-founder of Life Solutions China.
It is a conversation where we quickly move into the weeds to talk sales tactics, product development, and teams, and while Jon’s primary region has been Mainland China for the last 15 years, the lessons of his conversation are universally true.. and IMPORTANT.
Hope you will enjoy the discussion, and if you do, please remember to like, share, and comment!
