What do most people do when they fail in business miserably? They go back and get a job. Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers failed miserably and tried again. Meet Marty Metro, founder, and CEO of UsedCardboardBoxes.    In 2002, he started a chain of eco-friendly retail stores to buy and sell used moving boxes in Los Angeles. He had a dream of a national franchise but his attempt was premature, undercapitalized, and full of logistic flaws.    After 3 long years without an income, Marty was forced to cease all the operations. This left him and his wife with not just an empty bank account but $300 000 of personal debt. He’s here to share how he turned that failure into a multi-million dollar profitable business today.   Coming up:  • What lessons did he learn from his failure?  • What changes does the business have to put in place to make a profit?  • Why should businesses pay close attention to their numbers?  • How technology can help you make systems and processes more efficient?  • What’s the best approach to marketing and advertising for a growing business?   Enjoy the episode!   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  ►Find Marty Metro on LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marty-metro-a5527/ ►Visit UsedCardboardBoxes at https://www.usedcardboardboxes.com/  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  This series is brought to you by OneIMS - a leading digital marketing agency helping businesses win new customers.   ►Request your FREE marketing ROI audit at https://www.oneims.com/  ►Follow OneIMS online!  ►Subscribe to our channel here:   https://www.youtube.com/user/oneims  ►Listen to our podcast  https://open.spotify.com/show/0rq9sO5hIdnMlsY3M7jqYf?si=fLmIEu88QMi6QFU8p6h_Gw  ►Visit our website here:    https://www.oneims.com/  ►Follow OneIMS online:  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OneIMS/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oneims/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneims/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneims?lang=en

Know Your Transaction as a Business and Focus on What You Do Best | Marty Metro

On Today's episode, we are going to be talking with Marty Metro. Marty and I are going to be talking about his advice for entrepreneurs and balancing financial returns with environmental responsibility.  Marty Metro has a unique, “if at first you don’t succeed” attitude… and a track record to prove it! He risked it all to be an innovator and failed miserably. In 2002, he started a chain of eco-friendly retail stores to buy and sell USED moving boxes in Los Angeles. He had dreams of a national franchise, but his attempt was premature, undercapitalized, and riddled with logistic flaws. After 3 long years without an income, Maty was forced to cease all operations, leaving him and his wife, not just an empty bank account, but $300,000 of personal debt.  Devastated but not discouraged, Metro took a “day job” as a technology consultant and spent nights and weekends, pursuing his dream. His relentless entrepreneurial drive lead him to revise business plan, raise capital and re-launch a scalable, tech-centric model to buy and sell millions of used boxes, just one year later. This time, he succeeded.  That plan grew to a national logistics firm now working with some of the largest companies in the country, and has been covered by most major news outlets. Entrepreneur Magazine featured Metro and in an article entitled:  “From Business Failure to Multimillion-Dollar 'Green' Niche“  Metro is an inspirational example of balancing financial returns with environmental responsibility. Rather than claim to know “how to succeed,” Metro embraces his mistakes and proudly shares them with audiences.

Episode #44 S2-E2 Balancing Financial Returns With Environmental Responsibility With Marty Metro

Big companies like Amazon, Citigroup and Dell know the value of an exact match domain (EMD) – they own Diapers.com, Mortgage.com and CloudComputing.com, respectively. But smaller companies and upstarts can also benefit tremendously from EMDs. That was the case with Marty Metro and UsedCardboardBoxes.com.
