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

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?
