Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sherry Moore, a sales consultant, and strategist based in Branson, MO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is building, discovering, researching, and improving sales, SDR, and appointment-setting processes and teams. Plus accepting sales coaching and mentoring projects. My customers are small to medium-sized businesses all across the world.
Tell us about yourself
Fifteen and a half years ago, I moved to a small town and was standing in my living room when God told me, "Go online and start a sales business." I heard it loud and clear. My first thought was, "That's crazy. No one makes money doing sales as a salesperson through online efforts." However, I went online and found a Freelance platform named Guru.com. For $10, I created a profile, and I was in business.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My first big client happened within a short amount of time of starting my business. Sun Telemedia, LLC hired me full-time for two years. The owner then closed the business and retired.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing is wondering how things will go the next year and the next. However, after 15.5 years of ongoing success, you finally realize more opportunities will always come. To just enjoy the ride.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't spend a lot of money upfront.
- Marketing matters.
- You don't have a business without sales; sales is a lot of hard work. Be willing to put in the effort.
