Relay Direct: Are You Ready to be an Entrepreneur?

Last week, the outsourced sales and marketing firm, Relay Direct discussed some of the vital signs that show professionals are ready to become entrepreneurs

The firm prides itself on providing mentors to young professionals to make sure they can one day become successful business owners in the sales and marketing industry. They believe that individuals within the industry can only harbour entrepreneurial traits via consistent and structured education led by mentors who know the industry in detail. Through their business development programme, the firm hopes to become industry leaders in providing young professionals with the correct support to reach their potential as entrepreneurs.

The firm recently held a workshop for their contractors, in which they outlined some of the key traits that professionals tend to display, in order to inspire a new generation of young sales and marketing professionals. Relay Direct highlighted four key traits they believe need to be in place to show a young professional is ready to become a business owner.

Thrive in leadership

Relay Direct pushed the idea that the most successful business owners should not be hesitant to take advice, but should never feel comfortable making the final decision. An entrepreneur should only blame themselves when things go wrong, but never give up.

Ongoing passion for their business

It was also highlighted that it is essential that they love the idea of their company. This passion should be displayed in what they do and how they talk about their business.

Gives business priority over everything

Relay Direct believes that an entrepreneur needs a social life, but feels that this should not be the top of their priorities. Business owners should have their mind set on developing and maintaining their business at all times.

Gains satisfaction from solving business challenges

Finally, they believe that entrepreneurs should gain the most satisfaction from overcoming the challenges the sales and marketing industry puts in their way.

Relay Direct hopes that the advice offered in this workshop will inspire the next generation of young contractors to try and nurture these traits in themselves in order to excel their careers in the sales and marketing industry.
