A Real Story of Preparing to Scale

What does scaling a business actually mean? How do you know that your business is getting ready to scale and you're not just on a growth curve? These are questions we ponder with Rob Nichol, the Founder and CEO of Centr. (an off-site monitoring and surveillance company). The difference for him is that he can see a "hockey-stick" effect in his revenue growth. He's also confident he has problem-solution fit within his current market and he's looking to expand into new markets. The other main indicator is that the oscillation of sales one week and operations the next (a common problem for many start-ups) is starting to flatten out. Right now, his priorities are simplifying communication, creating useful feedback loops for information in the business and empowering his management team to start taking on more responsibility. If you want a practical case of what scaling looks like, then this is the episode for you.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This podcast is brought to you by Metavolve.
