E317: One Year Later With Our First Roadshow Guest, Lance Robinson
Welcome to the 317th episode of the Ecomcrew Podcast! Almost a year ago today, we released our first-ever episode of the famous Ecomcrew Roadshow, a segment where we physically go over to ecommerce entrepreneurs' place of business to come up with a plan to take their businesses to the next level.
Our first ever guest on the Roadshow was my dear friend and buddy, Lance Robinson from Wallcharmers, but because we were still in the middle of figuring things out, we didn't get to release the episode. At the end of the Roadshow, I gave him a list of actionable advice that could really step up his business.
It's been a year since I went up to meet him, and now Lance is back again! This time, he's on today's podcast to talk about the list of changes that I gave him, and how that's impacted his profitability and revenue in his ecommerce business.
