Interview with Serial Entrepreneur Brandon Foster from Tulsa, OK on What it Takes to Get a Company to 7 Figures and Beyond

 

All of us in business want to achieve success however very few even hit 7 figures in revenue. I wanted to find out what it takes to make a successful company grow to 7 figures in revenue and beyond.

Many companies reach a max capacity point of revenue from what they can do themselves. There always seems to be some secret that we hear about from other business owners about how one individual and their team reaching 7 figures vs another business owner who has worked long hours and put in the work but just never reaching true success. If you want to know more about this amazing entrepreneur, please visit Brandon Foster Tulsa.

I wanted to find out what the secret to success in business is and how to duplicate it in my own businesses. I’ve owned a digital marketing agency “Tulsa Marketing” for over 20 years and I am always looking for business advice and ways to grow my business. I have interviewed lots of different business owners but one successful business owner Brandon Foster from Tulsa, Oklahoma that I met, has seen tremendous growth in his many different companies. Brandon Foster owns several companies in the freight & logistics, oil & gas, and construction space that are very successful. So I decided I would reach out to him and interview him on what it takes to make a successful company grow to seven figures and beyond.


What I found was very interesting because it was simple, it’s not some secret like we think. To make a company successful its actually right in front of us most of the time but we not always aware of what we need to do because what we don’t know, we don’t know even though it’s available to all business owners.


Below is a summary of 3 things I learned from my interview with Brandon Foster from Tulsa, OK:


Work Fast but Intelligently-


Brandon Foster mentioned that success doesn't come overnight. Success comes from long hours in the office and hard work. Making smart and intelligent decisions on a daily basis speeds up the rate at which the business grows. Making smart decisions is key to making the business thrive and grow.


Family-

Treating your business, business clients, and your relationships like family. Working with clients like their family creates relationships that are long-lasting and always show your clientele that they matter no matter what. No matter if it's late at night, no matter if it's early in the morning, you are there for them on the spot ready to solve any problem that arises.


Who you know-

There is a saying it’s not what you know but who you know. You can grow your company fast by knowing the right person that can bring you referrals and business. Partnering with someone who works in the same industry as you and isn’t a direct competitor allows you to offer services and value to their clients. Approaching someone in the same industry as you to partner up is a win-win for both you and the potential partner. You can usually start the conversation off with “I think my services or products can help and bring value to your clients and business. Would you be open to discussing?”

There were other things Brandon Foster mentioned that can grow a large corporation and with his experience with not only growing his own companies but also procuring companies and bringing them explosive growth there was just too much to cover.

Brandon Foster’s business experience and the time I spent with him for the interview opened my mind to what it really takes to grow a successful business. One of Brandon Foster’s successful companies grosses millions in the high 8 figures per year and has seen growth year over year. With this in mind, I know his insight is invaluable and I don’t take his advice lightly.

I will be implementing some of his recommendations especially treating each client like family. Treating clients like family means going that extra mile when you need to, being attentive, and solving complex problems fast.
