What you will learn from this episode: What transformative projects John and his team at Swiftpage have been working on since his prior appearance on Onward Nation in episode #780 Why Swiftpage’s business strategy of “owning the conversion and retention space for the small- and mid-sized business market” is key to their growth Why Swiftpage believes the four digital pillars of growth are presence, traffic, conversion/retention, and optimization tools, and how John defines each pillar How Swiftpage determines whether it would be more effective to build a “component” themselves or acquire it through M&A, and how John defines a component How niching down, keeping a clear focus on the fifteen-seat company and smaller, and serving their customers has helped Swiftpage evolve and grow successfully Why John looks for three distinct qualities and characteristics in the A-players in his team: talent, an insatiable appetite to win, and putting mission before self Why a good leader’s role is to mentor and nurture talent, tell a clear story, bring credibility, and build a talented and effective team What qualities a leader needs to be an effective mentor to other business leaders outside their company Why having the courage to pursue your goals, the passion to push yourself, and the tenacity to keep going are the keys to success Resources: Twitter: @hjoech Email: joechsle@swiftpage.com

All businesses have stories. It doesn’t matter if you own a small-scale business, a medium enterprise, or a large corporation – they all come together with a common denominator: a brand story worth telling. So how do you know when it’s time to evolve your business and your brand story? With every company’s evolution and growth, the brand story needs to evolve because you want your people to take part in that evolution. But what comes first the business or brand story evolution? My guest this week, John Oeschle, is the president and CEO at CRM and marketing automation software provider, Swiftpage. You may remember John from an earlier Business of Story episode when he was on the journey of building a thriving brand culture through storytelling. John explores the importance of evolving your brand story to transform your business, but that starts with getting your employees to buy into the new narrative. He believes courage, passion and tenacity play vital roles in the success of your business. Does your brand have what it takes to evolve and thrive in a crowded, changing market? "I want you to do something that scares you. It scares you, then you break through the fear, and you accomplish it. And then you can tell your story." —John Oeschle Become a Master Storyteller Grab your free copy of The 5 Stages of Grief in Telling YOUR Business Story: http://bit.ly/StorytellingTools Like what you hear?
