The art of selling is paramount in every business and this focus should begin at day one! Without an understanding of why or how someone will buy into your idea or product, there is a chance you’re wasting your time. Whether it is selling your idea to an investor, your product to a customer or a business to a buyer - you have to understand the process.
Let us give you some reasons why being a part of a hub can help you just a little bit further along:
1. Like-minded people think alike
XLR8HUB has gathered companies from many industries, but they tend to share a common focus – B2B-sales. By being in an environment of like-minded people, where every new customer counts, we have seen that companies become more focused on getting stuff done than what fancy new flavour has been added to the automatic coffee machine (basically because we don’t own one).
2. Sharing is caring
In only 2 years one of our hub-members increased their client list from 2 to 18, with an annual revenue in the last year of 4MNOK. Why? Because they focus on every client as unique and learn from the people around them to constantly get better. They also operate in an environment where contacts are made and shared, which sometimes generates even more business.
3. Watch and learn
By being around people who have succeeded or currently is succeeding, we get a chance to learn from others. It’s also ok to learn from what actually works, and not just the mistakes famous entrepreneurs today have made before us.
4. Keep costs low – increase your margin
Early-stage business, is relatively speaking, costly, because you have less money coming in. Hence, why should you spend this on an expensive working space? We have all heard about the famous garages, like the one of Steve Jobs for example. We offer a house, but with the same mindset.
5. It’s easier to take a jump into the unknown, if you have someone pushing you to do so
Jumping into the unknown can seem both risky and scary. However - one thing we know is that if you are surrounded by experienced people who can support you on your journey, the jump might happen sooner and seem less scary than it would have been if doing it alone.
