Listen "148: How to Build a Successful E-commerce Business - The Foundr Incubator (Business Breakdown) with Tom Bilyeu of Quest Nutrition & Jake Mckeon of Coconutbowls.com"
Episode Synopsis
In this very special episode of the Foundr Podcast, we answer all the questions you've ever had about building an ecommerce business and more!
The first installment in what we're calling the Foundr Incubator series, we recorded a live coaching session between one ambitious Foundr community member and the head of a billion-dollar company.
We organized a call with Jake McKeon, the up-and-coming founder of multiple ecommerce businesses, to receive one-on-one coaching from Tom Bilyeu, co-founder of unicorn startup Quest Nutrition. Like so many other entrepreneurs out there, McKeon was doing well, but looking to grow and not sure how. That's where Bilyeu, with his years of experience and wisdom, stepped in.
The result is a fascinating and honest conversation in which Jake asks just about every question an entrepreneur might have about how to grow, how to market yourself, and generally how to take an online business to the next level. Tom doesn't hold back and answers all of these questions and more, sharing his insights on what it takes to create a successful ecommerce business and a thriving community around your brand.
This is an episode you definitely do not want to miss, with so much gold being shared that you can't help but feel empowered and inspired after listening.
In this interview you will learn:
How to stay relevant in your market and stay ahead of the competition
Why you need influencers on your side and how to find them
The metrics you need to focus on to grow your sales
Where to find A-players when you're growing your team
The three things you need to focus on to build a successful e-commerce business
& much more!
