The Small Business Big Marketing Spotlight with Tim Reid

By: Tim Reid
  • Summary

  • I’m in awe of business owners & founders. Some are self-confessed unemployable, unable to work for the man, so they risk it all to market their dream, idea, or a solution to others’ problems. Others plan their escape to entrepreneurship whilst trapped inside a corporate cubicle. Having spent 25 years as a corporate monster myself, and another 15 running my own successful business, 'The Small Business Big Marketing Spotlight' podcast is laser-focussed on bringing business owners real stories of the ups and downs of growing a business they love in 2024 and beyond. No sugar-coatings, no fancy lingo; just practical insights and tips across all aspects of business - Marketing, HR, tech, finance, scaling, to name a few. Thank you for listening … Tim Reid (Your curious host).

    May 15 2024

    Adam Pisk (outsourcing expert) is today's bright spark and co-founder of BruntWork, an offshore outsourcing business headquartered in Sydney with offices in The Philippines, Colombia, Eastern Europe & beyond.

    In this Spotlight episode, Adam Pisk flicks the switch on:

    • How Bruntwork scaled to 3,000 employees in just 3-years
    • Why Adam terminated a client that represented 40% of Bruntwork’s revenue

    • Busting some common outsourcing myths
    • How much it costs to hire someone offshore

    Find a comprehensive list of services that BruntWork can fill roles in here.

    Adam's Key Takeaways ...

    1. Offshore outsourcing can be a strategic solution for business growth, especially during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.
    2. Pivoting to meet the increased demand for remote work can open up new opportunities for business expansion.
    3. Integrity and core values should guide business decisions, even if it means terminating a client that compromises those values.
    4. Offshore outsourcing is not limited to low-level tasks; any role that doesn't require physical presence can be outsourced.
    5. Treating offshore team members as part of the local team and providing clear objectives, KPIs, and incentives are key to successful outsourcing.

    About Adam in his own words - As a Co-Founder at a rapidly evolving, remote-only outsourcing enterprise, I am dedicated to delivering unparalleled value to our clientele. With an extensive 25 year trajectory in Sales & Operations leadership, I excel in significantly reducing operational costs and establishing a solid foundation for scalable growth. By transitioning operations to cost-effective regions like the Philippines, I unlock substantial cost savings for our clients. My adeptness in global market expansions and consultative selling techniques not only drives revenue augmentation but also cultivates enduring client relationships. Through tailored strategies, I ensure our clients are primed for scalable success, making meaningful impacts in their respective markets.

  • [Trailer] For Motivated Business Owners Keen To Grow In 2024 & Beyond
    May 15 2024

    Fellow business warrior, are you juggling more balls than a circus clown? Battling to make sense of marketing, cash flow, recruitment, while still trying to remember what sleep feels like?

    Fortunately for you, The Small Business Big Marketing Spotlight changes all that.

    I'm Tim Reid, here to guide you through the maze of business madness; and trust me, I've seen it all, having run my own business for 15 years, and interviewed over 700 entrepreneurs who’ve kindly walked the path before us.

    I understand the challenges you're facing. But I also believe in the power of resilience, innovation, and community to overcome them. So think of this show as your virtual business mentor.

    So, join me as I sit down with fellow business owners who've been in the trenches and come out the other side with battle scars and success stories to inspire. No complicated theories; just practical tips and anecdotes for you to use without needing a PhD in business.

    Look, I get it. Business can be about as predictable as a cat on a skateboard. But with a dash of resilience, a sprinkle of innovation, and a strong cup of coffee, you can conquer anything. Well, maybe not anything. Trying to resist buying a Snickers at the checkout is near impossible. Those impulse buys get me every time!

    It's time to step into the spotlight and discover the strategies to propel you and your business to new heights. Let's shine a light on the secrets of success and have a few laughs along the way.
