Brandon Metcalf is not just another entrepreneur, he is the CEO of not just one but three companies including Place Technology. Brandon is reimagining how businesses can operate and flourish in a technological world and talks about the unique things he is doing to be disruptive and change the space he is in. Brandon talks to Ryan about how he manages multiple companies including what he has learnt from each and also reveals the single best strategy for building and growing a business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Brandon is a big advocate for scheduling and being process driven. He is not a procrastinator and says these three things are why he can successfully manage so many companies and scale them the way he has.
- To lead a successful life, you must find the balance between work and personal life. Brandon manages this by having a calendar for all things, both work and personal.
- Pushing Slack for all internal comms allows email to be freed up for external communication within his businesses.
- As a leader, delegation is essential and giving the right amount of support and ensuring everyone is aligned as a team.
- Brandon supports his team to help them meet their goals and progress but he is firm about the fact they need to put the hard work in themselves to achieve.
- If you choose to build a business around something you have knowledge of and passion for, then it will be much easier to scale and find success.
- Workflow, automation and visibility when building a business allow it to find product market fit quickly and keeps things simple and organic. Teams can then focus on what they are supposed to.
- The main challenge for Place technology is that people don’t know what they do, once they have the client looking at their offering they can convert easily, but it’s getting seen by the client in the first place that they are struggling with right now.
