How To Take Innovative Leaps With Jon Bostock
Ted Teo Business Show
10/20/21 • 30 min
Jon Bostock is the Co-Founder of Truman’s, a company with the mission to reduce waste and clutter in the consumer cleaning products industry. By asking and addressing the question of why are consumer cleaning products being shipped with 98% water, Truman’s was able to disrupt an industry that was bogged with supply chain inefficiencies, provide a product that resonated with environmentally conscious consumers and achieve a landmark exit sale in 3 years. Today, Jon is here to share with us how to take innovative leaps in our careers and achieve our goals.
In today’s episode, Jon shares about his time in General Electric and Big Ass Fans, his book the Elephant’s Dilemma and how his experiences have provided him with the skillsets he needed to lead Truman’s.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonbostock/ – Get in touch with Jon over LinkedIn
Actionable Take-aways:
1. Look out for the inefficiencies in your target industry. Just because something has always been done in a certain way does not mean it is the only way or best way to do it. If you can solve the inefficiency, you may just be disrupting the market.
2. Think about how your current business model is functioning and whether, for example, a direct to consumer model would work better. You could be reducing your supply chain costs and improving your profit margins.
3. Choose the right investors who are strategically aligned with your business when you are raising funds. A strategic investor should be able to help you open the right doors, provide you with the right advice and help you reach your goal. Avoid silent investors who have no strategic value.

How You Can Explode Your Business With A Distributorship Model With Paul Baron, Founder and CEO of The Wall Printer
Ted Teo Business Show
12/31/21 • 40 min
Paul Baron is the founder and chief executive officer of The Wall Printer USA. His decades of business experience span B2B, B2C, retail, manufacturing, distribution, international business, and franchising. Paul has personally developed and launched multiple business concepts and he was able to grow The Wall Printer USA to achieve an explosive growth of having over 50 distributors in 90 territories in just 2 years. Today he shares with us how you can explode your business with a distributorship model like him.
Join us as Paul shares about how he exploded his business with a distributorship model, the incentives he built into the distributorship model to encourage his distributors to work with him in the long run at scale, and how Paul managed to secure co-ownership rights in the Wall Printer from his manufacturing partners.
Resources:
https://thewallprinter.com/en/about-company/ - Check out the Wall Printer!
https://www.linkedin.com/in/pbbaron/ - Get connected with Paul!
Actionable Take-aways:
1. Unlike a franchise model where franchisee fees are charged and it forces your franchisees to follow a strict model from you, an exclusive distributorship model encourages your distributor partners to be creative and to grow more aggressively (because they don’t have to pay you a portion of their earnings). This allowed Paul to explode his business to be in over 90 territories in just 2 years.
2. Set a reasonable fee for your exclusive distributorship rights and provide your distributors with a discount on the product you are selling to them. By giving them the chance to recoup the fees they initially paid, they will be incentivised to partner with you for the long run and work with you at scale.
3. Patents are important for you to be able to protect your right in a certain product. Always seek to protect your intellectual property rights.

Building A Barefoot Footware Company With Steven Sashen, Co-Founder and CEO of Xero Shoes
Ted Teo Business Show
11/29/21 • 59 min
Steven Sashen is the Co-Founder of Xero Shoes and he is building a barefoot running empire. When Steven started sprinting again at the age of 45 after a 30 year break, he found himself getting injured constantly. One day, a friend suggested he run barefoot and Steven never looked back. Steven quickly put together his own pair of barefoot running sandals and thus Xero Shoes was born. Today, Steven is a Masters All-American sprinter and one of the fastest men over the age of 50 in the US.
Steven was also a professional stand-up comic, cognitive psychology researcher, and taught Tai Chi and Zen Archery. Steven is also the creator of Scriptware, the industry-standard word processor for film and TV writers.
Join us as Steven shares about his journey with barefoot running, how he built a community of loyal fans, and his shark tank story.

Actionable Take-aways:
1. Giving away your knowledge and best tips for free is a great way to build community, trust and goodwill with your customers. Don’t worry about people “stealing your ideas”. They can steal your ideas but they can never steal your brain.
2. The best way to ensure quality control is to have eyes on the ground. If you are manufacturing overseas, find or hire someone you can trust to make sure that the manufacturers are producing the goods to your required standard.
3. Whenever you are pitching to investors, it is important to know your numbers and to have a very clear range in their mind as to what you were willing to accept.

The Benefits of Taking Care Of Your Customers With Naomi Tan
Ted Teo Business Show
08/01/21 • 18 min
Naomi is a dance teacher who has been teaching Classical Ballet and Jazz since 2011, as well as other genres such as Contemporary Dance and Creative Movement. As a teacher and business owner, Naomi places a strong emphasis on always placing the needs of her customers before hers and she shares in this episode that when you take care of your customers, they in turn will take care of you and your business as well.
Resources:
https://www.lighthousedancesg.com/#home-section – Check out Naomi’s dance studio!
Actionable Take-aways:
1) When you take care of your customers and they know that your heart is in the business, they will in turn take care of you and your business.
2) Pay attention to who are the different stakeholders in your business. If you are in the education industry, your customers are not just the students, but their parents as well.
3) Find ways to provide a better experience for your customers on top of your core service to over deliver in value.
Show Notes:
[1:26] – Naomi shares why started her own dance studio (instead of using a shared space) during the Covid Pandemic. While it was a big risk to do so, she believed it was the right thing to do for her customers (i.e. the students and their parents) and her employees, because it would allow her to provide a safer environment for them.
· Due to her philosophy of always placing her customers’ needs before her own and placing a huge emphasis on the character development of her students, the relationships that she built with her customers over the years (and the belief that they would follow her to her new dance studio) gave her the confidence to take the plunge.
[4:07] – Depending on the industry you are in, there may be various stakeholders to consider when considering who your customers are. As a dance instructor who is in the education niche, Naomi shares that she has to take care of the needs of her students and the parents. When you are sincere and you take care of the customers’ needs, this will help build loyalty and customer retention.
· As an educator, your sincerity has a direct impact on the relationship you develop with your students. Ultimately, the goal is to play a part in the student’s character development and growth.
· Parents will appreciate you for keeping them up to date with their child’s progress and ultimately want to know that their children are in good hands.
[7:08] Taking the time to build relationships with your customers not only helps with customer retention, your customer may also contribute to the growth of your business by joining the business as an employee one day.
[8:35] It is important to stay flexible and adapt in business. If you can adapt to the changing environment and create new experiences for your customers and employee, your business will be resilient.
· By organizing Zoom dance competitions, Naomi was able to keep her students engaged and supplement the income of her employees during the Covid lockdowns.
[13:33] By offering a pay as you wish model during the Covid lockdowns, Naomi was not only able to allow her students’ whose parents who had difficulty paying for the dance lessons to continue with their classes, she managed to do so without suffering a loss of income.
· Giving discounts on your goods and services in a way devalues what you are offering.
[17:03] Naomi’s one key take-away is that being sincere with your customers and when they know you have their interests at heart, they will in turn take care of you.
