3 Takeaways from my Podcast with Chris Ressa who currently oversees a $2.5 Billion Dollar Portfolio with DLC Management Corp. 1. The mental-side of sports can play a massive differentiator in a professionals success. Chris was a Collegiate Wrestler and brought much of the same tenacity (maybe slightly different) from the mats into the workplace. Excelling in sports at a high-level at a young age and being able to persevere through difficulty has been a major factor to his success. 2. The Industry is prime for disruption We are in very-interesting times, and owners of Commercial Real Estate have to sharpen their pencils and play at the top of their game in order to thrive (and sometimes survive) in this challenging landscape. 3. Everybody has a different path - and finds success in different ways. Whether it's climbing the corporate ladder, a personal investment journey, brokerage, or creating a personal brand on Social Media, everybody's path is going to look different. In this episode, we dug deep into what this looks like from a variety of different perspectives, and how others can start moving towards making a massive difference in whatever industry they're in.

Charleh Dickinson joined us for Episode 44. Key points 🔍 Initial problem: At the start, the main problem she looks for is the lack of clarity in the company's direction and scattered resources. 🛠️ First 90 days: Instead of a 12-month commitment, Charleh prefers to address critical issues within the first 90 days to achieve quick impacts. 📈 Focus on sales: Most companies seek to increase sales and customer acquisition as their primary goal. 💡 Professional experience: Charleh has worked in marketing for over 13 years, primarily in Europe and the UK, helping small businesses in the B2B sector. 🤝 Collaboration with the CEO: It's crucial that the CEO and the executive team closely collaborate with the fractional CMO, sharing information and aligning objectives. 👥 First week: At the beginning, it's essential to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the existing team and avoid making drastic changes immediately. 🌍 Cultural differences: Charleh discusses the differences in marketing across countries, highlighting how linguistic and cultural variations affect strategies. 🎯 Long-term vision: The relationship with a fractional CMO can be either a sprint or a marathon, depending on the company's needs and objectives. 💬 Initial communication: Sending a welcome message to the team to establish a supportive and collaborative environment is key for a successful start. 📊 Adaptation of strategies: Adaptability and adjusting strategies based on the business's evolution are fundamental for long-term success.

Just listened to the latest episode of RVBusiness Capital Talk, featuring Ken Walters, President & CEO of Jayco, Inc., and Rick Kessler. He had some great insights on market trends, product development, and the value proposition in the RV industry. My key takeaways: 1. Hard markets will come. Dial in features and stay tuned in with your customer base and what they expect. 2. Get direct feedback and let customers tell you what's missing. You don't have to guess. 3. There is no crystal ball for when things might get better. Stick to your fundamentals and generate demand organically. My favorite quote from the interview is, "People are looking for value. It's not necessarily about price and they don't expect to see and hear the word decontent but they still need us to be competitive within the same segment as some of that more price-sensitive stuff. So for us, that's a lot of our focus right now". Be customer focused and you will win. https://lnkd.in/eWeaeKrf
