Written by on July 18, 2019 / Inside BS Podcast

How to be a successful entrepreneur.  Join us for this episode of The Do This Sell More show. This week Dave’s guest is John Tabis, Founder and CEO  of The Bouqs Company.

In this episode, Dave and John discuss:

  • How and why John and JP started Bouqs.
  • The Bouqs Company’s Shark Tank experience.
  • The ebbs and flows of the startup journey.
  • The competitive advantage of The Bouqs Company.

Key Takeaways and actionable tips:

  • As a small company, getting on Shark Tank is one of the greatest things you can do.
  • Rejection is naturally part of the startup investment game.
  • Don’t sell something you don’t have. Transparency and honesty with the customer is a great value they do not always get from other companies.
  • Not all companies need a physical, brick-and-mortar store. Look at the channels you have and see what your options are.

 

“Your business is not going to be for everyone. What you need to know is that your business is going to work. Founders that make it work know that their business is going to be successful.” – John Tabis
