Know Your Transaction as a Business and Focus on What You Do Best | Marty Metro

What do most people do when they fail in business miserably? They go back and get a job. Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers failed miserably and tried again. Meet Marty Metro, founder, and CEO of UsedCardboardBoxes.    In 2002, he started a chain of eco-friendly retail stores to buy and sell used moving boxes in Los Angeles. He had a dream of a national franchise but his attempt was premature, undercapitalized, and full of logistic flaws.    After 3 long years without an income, Marty was forced to cease all the operations. This left him and his wife with not just an empty bank account but $300 000 of personal debt. He’s here to share how he turned that failure into a multi-million dollar profitable business today.   Coming up:  • What lessons did he learn from his failure?  • What changes does the business have to put in place to make a profit?  • Why should businesses pay close attention to their numbers?  • How technology can help you make systems and processes more efficient?  • What’s the best approach to marketing and advertising for a growing business?   Enjoy the episode!   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  ►Find Marty Metro on LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marty-metro-a5527/ ►Visit UsedCardboardBoxes at https://www.usedcardboardboxes.com/  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  This series is brought to you by OneIMS - a leading digital marketing agency helping businesses win new customers.   ►Request your FREE marketing ROI audit at https://www.oneims.com/  ►Follow OneIMS online!  ►Subscribe to our channel here:   https://www.youtube.com/user/oneims  ►Listen to our podcast  https://open.spotify.com/show/0rq9sO5hIdnMlsY3M7jqYf?si=fLmIEu88QMi6QFU8p6h_Gw  ►Visit our website here:    https://www.oneims.com/  ►Follow OneIMS online:  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OneIMS/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oneims/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneims/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneims?lang=en
