Description

This week I speak with Geoff Atkinson of Huckabuy. Geoff was previously employed in the corporate world at Overstock.com as the Senior VP of Marketing and successfully transitioned to running his own business at Huckabuy, which is now generating over 1M MRR.   Geoff's first entrepreneurial endeavor started as a B2C affiliate website and eventually pivoted to a performance-based SEO software company. It took at least 2-3 years to find their footing, but they eventually found a way to respond to market needs.   Don't miss out on this episode, Geoff has great advice for first-time entrepreneurs trying to build a strong revenue-driven business. Whatever your brilliant idea is, be open to the fact that it might not be what the market wants and you may need to take the time to create change so you can pivot and respond to what the market wants.

On the Working Without Pants podcast I bring you the inspiring stories of agency owners and consultants. I dive deep to uncover the secrets of their success. We talk about how they got started, what led to their success, and how they maintained a life / work balance along the way. I often also talk about business development strategies for these agencies and what is working for them. Many of your listeners include individuals who run software development agencies, digital marketing agencies, design firms, consulting companies, video production agencies, freelancers, consultants and many more. Topics we cover are b2b sales, winning new clients, lead generation, sales process, growth tactics, million dollar consulting, outreach, outbound sales, thought leadership, positioning and much more. And as always, I keep the show fun and record episodes without pants!
