Mitä tapahtuu, kun innovaatio ja sitkeys kohtaavat haasteiden labyrintin? Tämän viikon podcastissa vieraana on Jarkko Leppälahti, VividWorksin toimitusjohtaja, joka siirtyi toiseen toimitusjohtajapestiinsä jatkaakseen vaikuttavaa uraansa yritysten uudistajana ja kasvun mahdollistajana. VividWorks on 2,9 miljoonan liikevaihdolla ja 28 hengen tiimillään kansainvälinen menestystarina, jonka asiakkaita löytyy Japanista Australiaan – erityisesti huonekaluteollisuuden huipulta, kuten BoConcept. VividWorks tunnetaan visuaalisista myyntikonfiguraattoreistaan, joita hyödyntävät esimerkiksi BoConcept, Lumon ja Lixil ja muut globaalit toimijat. Yrityksen matka on kuitenkin ollut kaikkea muuta kuin suora tie menestykseen. Vuonna 2018 yhtiö joutui kohtaamaan suuren teknisen velan, korkean churn-prosentin ja räätälöintien haasteet. Jarkko paljastaa, miten tiimi tarttui toimeen, käänsi suunnan ja loi stabiilin inbound-asiakasvirran, joka tuo nykyään parikymmentä liidiä kuukaudessa. Keskustelussa pureudutaan myös tuotebisneksen strategisiin käänteisiin, kuten vertikaalien valinnan vaikeuteen ja ekosysteemikumppanuuksien hyödyntämiseen WooCommercesta ERP-järjestelmiin. Onko mahdoton yhtälö ratkaistavissa? Entä mitä vaatii, että yritys nousee haasteista voittoon ja kasvaa globaaliksi menestystarinaksi? Kuuntele jakso ja sukella VividWorksin uskomattomaan tarinaan!

With roots in Malaysia, immigrant Niki Cheng blazed her way through the hustle and bustle of NYC’s competitive job market and established a career that would leave lasting footprints in a niche industry. From a failed attempt at being a waitress to immediate success in furniture sales, Niki saw untapped potential and grabbed the reins to open her own furniture store — a U.S. location of the Denmark brand BoConcept, selling sophisticated pieces at affordable prices. This single store quickly sparked the establishment of the Furniture District in NYC. After growing BoConcept into its second location, nine more stores followed across the city within a decade. Pivoting a different direction, Niki and her business partner husband continued their entrepreneurial journey and launched a U.S. location of the Italian brand Calligaris in NYC. Even with the global pandemic, their new furniture business brought in an unexpected increase in sales. As Niki continues to build two furniture brands in the big city, her savvy sales advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is to do everything with the heart — you’ll gain trust when you focus on helping the customer find the right product that fits their needs and budget, and they’ll become customers for life.

Hej und herzlich willkommen bei meinem "Der Nørd"-Skandinavien-Podcast über Reisen in Nordeuropa und das skandinavische Lebensgefühl. Auch wenn ich Folge 10 sage, ist es natürlich erst Folge 9. :-) Heute bin ich zu Besuch bei Toni, die sich in Ihrer Bachelorarbeit mit Hygge beschäftigt hat. Als Expertin verrät sie mir im Talk, wer Hygge perfekt als Kommunikationsmittel einsetzt und wer nicht. Die Beispiele reichen von Zewa Küchenpapier über BoConcept bis hin zum Hygge-Magazin. Und ist Handcreme eigentlich hyggelig? Und welche Rolle spielen Kondome mit Einhörnern? Alle Antworten gibt es in dieser Podcastfolge. Mein Name ist Stefan und ich blogge seit 2015 auf www.NordicWannabe.com über alles, was mit dem hohen Norden zu tun hat. Mein Herz schlägt für Skandinavien und mit meiner Community möchte ich allen ein Zuhause bieten, die auch den Skandi-Style, Hygge und Reisen in Norwegen, Schweden Dänemark, Island und Finnland mögen. Viel Spaß beim Hören.
