    Des Vadgama | Maximising Profitability: Transforming Coaches and Entrepreneurs into High-Performing Individuals

    This episode features a conversation between Des Vadgama and Fredrik, focusing on business insights and strategies. Des, with a background in sales and entrepreneurship, shares his experiences working with renowned speakers like Tony Robbins and Dan Pena. The discussion delves into the importance of dialogue, access, leverage, and margin in business success. They touch on the power of the telephone in making connections and the value of collaborations over partnerships. The episode showcases the importance of instinct and leveraging intangible factors in business decisions. Overall, the conversation provides valuable insights into sales, partnerships, and strategic business approaches. KEY TAKEAWAYS The main purpose of content, even if it disappears quickly, is to build your own audience. Collaboration and partnerships can be more beneficial than traditional partnerships in business. Focusing on the top 10% of actions or tasks that result in 90% of the results can lead to significant success in business. Leveraging instincts and natural abilities can be a powerful tool in making deals and partnerships. Being selective and focusing on profitable companies with low debt burdens can lead to successful acquisitions. BEST MOMENTS "I'm actually quite focused in two types of individuals. One is coaches and the second one is entrepreneurs." "I think what social media now and so many platforms and ways of getting through I think you can play a little bit less of the numbers game so even if it's sending either a brief email or a little bit of a direct mail letter." "I think that's true as well because the truth is LinkedIn you can do much better research than before. You can find the names of the right people and therefore it starts to become easier to try to target them and get hold of them."  "The easiest way to elaborate on that is I will do it through the vehicle of the word we just used, the C word is collaboration and partnerships."  EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/desvadgama/ Des Vadgama ABOUT THE HOSTS Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

    Marketing 101: The Basics of Sales and Branding

    Join this episode for a discussion on the importance of marketing and branding. We talk about the connection between sales and marketing, highlighting the significance of personal branding through websites, content creation, and presentation. Tune in to gain insights into marketing strategies and the power of visibility in building a successful brand. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quality is crucial in marketing, but having a lot of content is necessary as well, as it may be invisible to most people. Building a personal brand is essential in marketing, and it can be reflected in various aspects such as website, content, and presentation. Visibility in marketing is vital, especially in the early stages, where quantity often trumps quality to attract attention and engagement. Utilising AI tools and split testing can help in refining marketing strategies, improving content, and optimising conversions. Tracking progress, documenting efforts, and focusing on a strong brand, personal brand, and paid ads can lead to successful marketing outcomes. BEST MOMENTS "And for you in your early days, more is usually better than high quality." "if only like 1% of the people you want to see this actually see this and you're producing like you did maybe one really good" "the two out of 100 becomes three, that's actually a 50% increase. So that's a huge number, even if it's just one more." "I think that's one way that surely can add massive value to our marketing efforts is to do split tests to track what we're doing and the changes we're doing and therefore becoming better and better."

    Unlocking Business Freedom: How to Sell Your Company and Set Yourself Free"

    In this episode of the Invest in You podcast, host Fredrik is joined by guest Rob Goddard, a business advisor and expert in selling companies. They discuss the importance of preparing a business for sale and the key factors that can make or break a deal. Rob talks about the need for business owners to make themselves redundant and build a strong team to ensure the business is not reliant on their day-to-day involvement. He also highlights the significance of having robust financial reporting and a clear growth plan to attract potential buyers. Rob shares valuable insights on the common mistakes business owners make when selling their companies and offers practical advice on how to navigate the process successfully.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The importance of determining a "magic number" when selling a business: The "magic number" refers to the capital sum needed from the sale of the business to start a new chapter in the owner's life. It is not necessarily the value of the business, but rather the amount required to sustain their desired lifestyle. Making the business owner redundant: To make a business saleable, the owner needs to build a succession plan and surround themselves with a capable team. This ensures that the business is not reliant on the owner's day-to-day involvement and increases its transferability to a new entity. The significance of financial reporting: Having up-to-date and robust financial reporting, including monthly management accounts, is crucial when selling a business. It provides potential buyers with a clear understanding of the business's financial performance and future prospects. The need for a growth plan: Many business owners lack a clear growth plan for their business. Having a well-defined growth plan, supported by reliable sales forecasts and a narrative that substantiates the numbers, can significantly increase the value of the business and attract potential buyers. The challenges of owner reliance: Businesses heavily reliant on the owner's involvement can be difficult to sell. Buyers typically expect a ready-made management team in place, and if the owner is the sales director or at the centre of everything, it can hinder the sale process. Making the owner redundant and building a capable team is essential for a successful business sale. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's the, I like educating business owners because most business owners have never sold before."  "So I've already seen their accounts by that point. So I give them a really low ball offer, right? I'll say, if I think it's probably worth 3 million, I'll say, do you know what? I think it's worth one and a half. Would you accept that today?"  "I want them to make themselves redundant and, and the business isn't reliant on their day to day input, expertise, knowledge, contacts."  "If you can show a reliable sales forecast based on real customers and how you retain people, all of a sudden now you can multiply the value quite easily."
