Life is about belonging. And because of that business is about belonging. That's why the businesses that take the time to serve consumers from underrepresented and underserved communities are winning their attention, adoration, and loyalty. In this episode, I chatted with Jacqueline Snyder and Minna Khounlo-Sithep about how product-based businesses are winning more customers by leaning into inclusion in a manner that fits for both their business and their customers. Here are some key points covered in the discussion: The 3 areas product-based business owners infuse inclusion into their businesses Why it doesn't matter where your brand starts in terms of the types of consumers you're able to reach Why representation matters beyond just brand and product photography Why there's no one right way to build an inclusive brand Why feedback (or complaints) are a great opportunity to identify how to become more inclusive in your brand How to be resourceful in choosing how to be more inclusive in your business Why more doesn't equal more About Jacqueline and Minna Jacqueline Snyder and Minna Khounlo-Sithep are the combined force behind The Product Boss Podcast.

Starting a business or launching a new product has never been easier. Getting people to buy your product, on the other hand, has never been harder. Every single day, more and more brands pump new products into the market. It is truly saturated, which is why very few startups make it longer than a couple of years before they have to close shop. However, not every new product is a fail. Some make a killing, and that is thanks to a few things: A good marketing strategy, a great product, the right expertise, and a whole lotta luck. To talk about this, I invited the brilliant minds behind The Product Boss, the amazing Minna Khounlo-Sithep and Jacqueline Snyder. Both first generation Americans and both entrepreneurs at heart, Minna and Jacqueline are two amazing women who came up with one genius idea: To start a company that helps other people take their product-based businesses to the next level! They created The Product Boss out of their own struggles of trying to reach product-based dreams and goals, but feeling lost in a world of service-based advice and strategy. If you own a product-based business, then you know exactly what struggles they mean. Listen in as Minna, Jacqueline, and I discuss everything you need to know to take your product-based business to the next level.    In This Episode: [00:00] Introduction [01:15] You can make anything out of nothing [09:30] Minna and Jacqueline share the difference they see between running a product-based business and running a service-based business [16:23] Do you know when to give it a shot?

It requires a community around you, because it's really hard to get that encouragement to reinvest again and again and again.” – Minna Khounlo-Sithep “What got us here is going to be different than what gets us to a $10 million plus business.” – Jacqueline Snyder “You can always make more money, you can't make more time.” – Minna Khounlo-Sithep   Links & Resources: Get The Product Boss Ultimate Resource Guide: http://www.theproductboss.com/iheartmylife   Ready to Uplevel Your Life?

We believe it's good to reintroduce yourself regularly, and often – especially when you've grown or evolved since your last introduction. So here we go again: we're Jacqueline and Minna, nice to meet you! We kicked off the Product Boss podcast back in January of 2018. We all know a lot has changed since last week, let alone in the last four years. The same certainly applies to us as we've written a few new chapters in our own stories. So, we're dedicating this episode to letting you know who we are, now, and what our journey has been as to how we ended up here. We all remember the first day of school; reintroducing yourself can feel weird. But, as you may remember, the more you do it, the easier it becomes! Reintroducing yourself is a great habit to build as it reinforces the story of your brand and product so that everyone knows who you are and what your business is all about. In a world where connections mean everything, don't forget that offering a deeper understanding of yourself invites the same from others.

They also help them price their products, choose which products to focus on (and which to drop), and develop systems to help them save time and scale up.While they want their clients and listeners to have profitable businesses, mindset issues can get in the way.“There’s a little bit of guilt sometimes when makers are making something and then they start charging for it,” Jacqueline says. “We don’t believe that they should have any guilt, because they’re putting their time towards it.”Often, clients resist making moves to boost profitability.“We start with looking at the numbers, because the numbers are a clear indicator of what the products are that they need to lean into,” Minna says. “When they’re not confident with numbers, they just don’t want to even be aware of them.”Now is your chance to learn from the masters of product-based business!

She was looking to clear out her inventory of a product. So she reached out to Minna to see if Amazon would be a good medium for that. As Minna answered her questions they began to chat back and forth on Voxer, often using the full 15 minutes allotted on the app for a message.  Jacqueline invited Minna to Los Angeles to be the Amazon expert on a speaking panel. They’re both Mom’s, both entrepreneurs, and they both speak “product”. They connected well and knew they could develop something together and not get sick of each other. So the Product Boss Podcast was born! The 3 C’s of Content Creation Recently, their listeners have been asking for content ideas—how to place their product in front of potential customers without constantly pushing sales (such as through ads). So Minna and Jacqueline developed three points of communication through content. Calendar: Put out content that correlates to holidays—real or made-up (i.e. National Dog Day). Or you write a piece of content that relates to something that is trending (Game of Thrones, anyone?).  Conversational: This can easily be done on social media. You can ask questions or post a poll, but the goal is a short and engaging call-to-action. Cornerstone Content: These are typically blog-style posts on your website that describe your mission, values, and vision. They can be how-to posts, industry facts, case studies, testimonials and much more.  Above all, they recommend being consistent with your content. If you’re short on time, identify where your core customer is and focus your effort there. Minna and Jacqueline go into detail on this topic—if it piques your interest, keep listening! Your list is your greatest asset Building an email list for your product and website is the #1 thing you can do to connect with your customers. The platform you sell on is never guaranteed and Amazon’s algorithm can be fickle. The best way to build your business is to focus on funneling clients to your website.  Make your call-to-actions geared towards signing up for your email subscription or offer 20% off if they join your email list.  You are building an asset with every single piece of content you put out. Having customers on your email list is your best opportunity to connect with them and engage. Take advantage of whatever platform suits your product best—and push them to subscribe. If you have to start anywhere, make it here.  Can you outsource the writing process? As an entrepreneur, it can be hard to find the time to post on social media or write content for your website. So what do you do? Outsource.  Jacqueline isn’t able to write consistently, so she often uses services such as Upwork or Free-Up. She sets the structure for what she wants and provides the keyword research and lets her freelancer handle it from there. Minna hired a “Mom-blogger” to write posts for her in batches, usually around 9 articles at a time. She’ll let her blogger know the style she is going for her and points her towards other articles for inspiration. Once the posts are done Minna will go in and edit the post to fit her voice. Both strategies work well and can be great options for busy entrepreneurs who want to put out great content but don’t have the time to do it themselves. Kevin, Minna, and Jacqueline cover this topic in-depth, as well as setting goals and overcoming excuses.

Owning a product-based online business can be intimidating and overwhelming. Where should we get started in our ecommerce journey? How can we ensure we don’t end up losing a whole lot of money? On this episode, co-owners of The Product Boss, Jacqueline Snyder and Minna Khounlo-Sithep share how aspiring online store owners can get started and avoid the pitfalls many people fall into.   3 Things We Learned From This Episode Surround yourself with support (16:04- 16:56) A lot of moms are hesitant to share the fact that they have families with colleagues and business partners. However, there is a growing online community of working mothers. Join one of these communities for emotional support- there’s no need to feel guilty for being a businesswoman with a family.   Test your market (20:55- 21:50) Before launching a full line of products, it’s important to test market. We can do this by giving out samples, posting pictures of the product online and gauging  whether people are interested in what we’re doing. We can also offer downloadables like graphic prints, for example- and see if the market is printing them up for personal use.    Make sure people are willing to pay (22:27- 23:00) While it’s great to know people are interested in what we’re doing, remember the core aim of owning a business: making a profit. We have to ensure that what we’re doing has the potential to make money. We need to get to a point where we know people are willing to take out their credit cards and purchase our products.   Business ownership is an exciting journey, but it certainly comes with challenges. To make it easier, we have to make sure we’re surrounded by a supportive community. And remember, the aim is to make money. It’s important to have enough of it to get started, and test our products on the market. It’s always fun to have ideas, but at the end of the day, we need to be sure our market is willing to pay for what we’re offering.   Guest Bio-  Jacqueline Snyder has been an entrepreneur at heart since the tender age of 10.

So many of us are solopreneurs, but have you ever met another small business bad-ass and totally clicked? That’s what happened for today’s guests, Minna Khounlo-Sithep and Jacqueline Snyder, voices behind The Product Boss Podcast. For some background, after Minna had her first child she was inspired to start Lil' Labels, write-on kids labels that are sold at retail giants like Amazon, Walmart and Jet. At the same time, Jacqueline was running her own product based business, Cuffs Couture, and growing her international sales. Jacqueline reached out to Minna in a business Facebook group, and the two totally hit it off. Today, Jacqueline and Minna work together to teach business owners how to grow their product-based businesses with smart strategy and a community around them. In addition to running the podcast, they each still own their own businesses.  On Episode 110, we’re all sitting down to talk about the pros and cons business partnerships, how Minna and Jacqueline divide responsibilities, and what to look for if you’re considering taking on a new partner. We also talk about how Minna and Jacqueline juggle their multiple businesses, and they share their top tips for product based business owners.  ON TODAY’S EPISODE:  What inspired Minna and Jacqueline to start their own businesses The evolution and importance of celebrity endorsement How Minna and Jacqueline met  Moving from online, becoming friends, and deciding to partner up Hesitancies of forming a partnership Dividing responsibilities How Jacqueline and Minna balance their individual businesses with The Product Boss The importance of implicit trust  Questions to ask yourself before finding a business partner Strategies for dealing with day to day stressors Shifts Jacqueline and Minna have seen in the industry  Alternatives to tradeshows and advice for scaling your business What’s up next for The Product Boss KEY TAKE-AWAYS:   “I dug in and I figured it out, and I had the tenacity of a pregnant woman going to give birth. So the rest from there just was it seemed easy.” -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “I'm very much a book learner. So it was in my mind that I could just learn all about Amazon. I was already a fan of Amazon, so I basically schooled myself on Amazon.” -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “I was in my 20s and going out and wanting to dance and have no purse. I always hated having to put my purse under like a jacket in the corner at bar. And so I created Cuffs Couture, which were fashionable, chic wrist wallets.” - Jacqueline Snyder  “We started a business without realizing we were starting a business, and yeah. She's not a serial killer. So at least a good thing, right?” - Jacqueline Snyder  “We get so many ideas going as entrepreneurs. We just know how to do things. We kind of know how to execute or figure it out along the way. And then on top of it, we really did have a great connection.” -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “We approach things very differently, and the thing is we get along really, really well. But I think the key is we trust each other implicitly.” -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “Big brands are not as agile as a smaller entrepreneur. We can try something today and if it doesn't work tomorrow, we can shift gears, or we can try again in a different way.” - Katie Hunt “My biggest thing with being a partner is like, "Am I doing enough? Am I showing up and handling my role? Am I doing enough?” - Jacqueline Snyder  “It's highly psychological, lots of mindset, and you have to be able to see that other person as a full partner that has all these fears and joys too. So you're always trying to balance that out.”  -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “We're complete opposites as far as personality wise or approaches. But we definitely have the same love for so many things. We love our families. Our why is exactly the same.”  -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “I don't think I would work well with a partner. Maybe I'm too bossy, I don't know. Too decisive. But I think that's why I find partnerships so fascinating because when you have two of the right people together, amazing things can happen.” - Katie Hunt “The face of product entrepreneurship and a product business is really changing, which is why you can see why stories are so important. Learning how to sell with your story and those personal brands is more important than ever before.”  -  Minna Khounlo-Sithep “The opportunities have shifted for product based businesses, and the customer has changed quite a bit too. So it’s an interesting dynamic how we have to adapt as product based business owners.” - Katie Hunt LINKS Website: http://www.lillabels.com; http://www.theproductboss.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/lillabelsco; http://instagram.com/theproductboss   SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

Business Building InsightsOne way to identify a product to create is to look for problems in your life that can be solved. Be okay with the slow months and use them strategically to build inventory and test new concepts. Push the busier months based on the results and learning from slow month testing. Focus on growing annual revenue and margin rather than the unit sold at a consistent rate throughout the year. On slow months, work on building an email list and waiting list so you’re primed when it’s your strong season. For product inserts, add only one call to action for it be effective. ChallengesStart ups – mindset, self doubt, burning time and money, knowing what your options are. Growth – How do you make more money? How do you make more sales? Expansion – Figuring out the process for scaling.

Product-based businesses can be tough when it comes to dealing with manufacturers, inventory and distribution. But that doesn’t mean they’re impossible to rapidly grow and scale. Minna Khounlo-Sithep, founder of Lil’ Labels, waterproof writable labels for school and for daycare, joins me to share her journey scaling up to a 6-figure business in just one year. Minna and I dive into the challenges of running a product-based business, vs. a service-based business, and the key takeaways she has gleaned from her experiences as an entrepreneur. Minna also shares how she leveraged her areas of expertise to build her business in such a way that it was able to grow even as she faced a stressful personal crisis. We talk about the importance of getting really deep into and mastering just one platform before moving on to other areas, how to create visibility and sales beyond your primary platform to build a thriving business, and why we as leaders need to invest in ourselves as much as we invest in our businesses.
