The hard truth about scaling your business
“Knowing your target audience and knowing how to get their attention and convert them to leads and ultimately customers is one of the most important skills of a successful business.
But an inability to market was a common failure especially among founders who liked to code or build product but who didn’t relish the idea of promoting the product.”
The hard truth
90% of all start-ups fail
10% fail within one year
The most common reasons for failure
56% Marketing problems (both strategy and execution)
18% Team
16% Finance
6% Tech
4% Ops & legal
But it’s only tough when you’re not tracking the right numbers.
