My Biggest Mistake
this cost me hundreds of thousands
Recently I was asked if I regret dropping out of college
and the answer is - yes absolutely.
You see, I run a venture studio where people come to us with their Software idea
and my in house developers build it and I consult on sales and marketing
we’ve built over 15 projects in the last year and on pace to build 60-100 this year
and recently, I was working on closing my biggest deal ever for it, worth 6 figures
the prospect was loving everything, the price, the timeline, my experience, everything
we came to an agreement, I sent over the contract and the invoice
and then..
the prospect said “wait…I have one more question… do you have a degree?”
I was honest and said I do not - they were repulsed
In a condescending tone, they said, “do you even know the four P’s of marketing?!”
I stuttered, “price….product….promotion…uh …uh”
I couldn’t remember the last one
they instantly broke off the deal
despite me having sold a company, getting millions of views per month online, and consulted for over 50 software companies
so yes - I wish I stayed in college and watched the youtube videos my professor sent to us rather than making his own lessons
jokes aside… this story obviously never happened and I don’t regret it a bit
and if you’ve been sitting on a software idea and you’re okay with working with me despite not having a degree
book a call here and I’ll show you why all the biggest people in their industries are working with my team and me
oh and the fourth P just came back to me it’s place
Happy Tuesday
