Business Problems Solved Podcast Perseverance Is The Key To Success - with Tom Lock
Lee talks to Tom Lock, the founder of The British Snack Company, one of the most popular snack brands in the country.
Tom discusses the importance of brand identification, perseverance, and the lessons he learned while scaling a small business concern to one of national importance.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Perseverance is the secret to success. If the idea you have is a viable one, then keep pushing. Eventually, your product will reach the right person.
- Whether you’re selling to a single pub or a chain of supermarkets, the principle is always the same; you’re knocking on a door and selling yourself and your idea.
- We must never be scared to leverage the people around us, or ask for help. We cannot be the best at everything. Focus on the tasks in which you excel and delegate the rest.
- Creating a brand is about boiling down the essence of your values, and marketing your idea through that filter. Tom is proud to be British, and his products all reflect the tastes of the country.
