You’ll have no hope for long-term success if you can’t effectively communicate what your product is and why your customers should buy it! Learn how to communicate succinctly is a huge part of navigating the information gap that exists between businesses and their customer base. Hearing from Steve and Robbie, you get the sense right away that they’ve honed and perfected their approach. They not only understand their product inside and out, they’ve taken extra care to connect their story back to the history and roots of Matcha Green Tea. What can you learn from Steve and Robbie’s story?
What does the journey of an entrepreneur look like? Is it all excitement and growth as magazines and success stories would have you believe? For Steve and Robbie, the journey has been everything but sunshine and roses. While they are quick to point out that they are very fortunate and thankful for the success they’ve been able to build, they also acknowledge the pain and stress they’ve faced as well. It seems that the biggest challenge has been confronting the unknown, not just the unknown when it comes to the future of the business but how it’ll impact the lives of people who depend on its success and growth. The journey of building Tenzo Tea has been rollercoaster for Steve and Robbie but through it all, they are proud of the organization they've built.
