The biggest deal they did last year was 35 million.Every single person in the company has one defined KPI to assess them against something very simple that they understand. Recommended Tool: Evernote https://evernote.com/Recommended Podcast: Your Pathway to a Successful Business Exit with Blake Hutchisonhttps://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/your-pathway-to-a-successful-business-exit-with/id564001633?i=1000508310426Today’s GuestBlake Hutchison is the CEO of Flippa, a marketplace to buy and sell online businesses.
