The Art of Sales for Startups
Mike Gomez, President of Allegro Consulting and Startup Showdown Mentor, sat down with the Startup Showdown Podcast to share the art of sales for startups.
Innovation is more than new ideas—it's about connecting with the right resources and networks to drive growth. To scale, you need a culture of creativity, collaboration, and access to talent, strategic partnerships, and capital. Successful innovators build ecosystems where entrepreneurs, corporations, and educators work together to promote growth. By engaging with your regional ecosystem and focusing on these key areas, you can unlock new opportunities and scale your innovation efforts for lasting impact.
In this episode of the Extraordinary Pursuits podcast from BIP Ventures, Alex Gonzalez from the Metro Atlanta Chamber (MAC) explains how their innovation and related efforts contribute to the Atlanta region's progress toward becoming a top innovation ecosystem. He also explains how entrepreneurs can leverage the resources, expertise, and network available through MAC to scale.
