Jeff Cayley is the founder & CEO of Worldwide Cyclery, an 8-figure ecommerce site in the bike industry, with 3 retail locations. In this episode, Jeff shares how he created a customer service strategy that is the backbone of their growth to nearly 15 million a year in sales. He also shares how they go above and beyond for customers, to keep them loyal to the brand while creating a word-of-mouth marketing strategy.

Worldwide Cyclery is an online bike company that truly bridges the gap between online sales and the in shop experience. I've wanted to talk to the founder Jeff for quite some time and really enjoyed being able to find out the truth of how he started as well as hear how he steers his company to be a step above other online retailers. Jeff had a ride to get to that kept the conversation quick, however, we sent it full throttle and had a great conversation. ►Featured Links http://bit.ly/2RkFdGF ::: Worldwide Cyclery ►B1KER Bar Podcast https://apple.co/2PM5kFR ::: iTunes http://bit.ly/2Am6D9p ::: Google Play http://bit.ly/2CY8jbz ::: SoundCloud ►Support B1KER http://patreon.b1ker.com ::: Patreon http://donate.b1ker.com ::: Donate http://shop.b1ker.com ::: B1KER Shop http://amazon.b1ker.com ::: Amazon ►B1KER Social Media https://www.instagram.com/b1kerb1/ https://www.facebook.com/b1kerb1/ https://www.twitter.com/b1kerb1/ ►Camera Gear and Settings http://camera.b1ker.com/ ►What I Ride http://b1ker.com/?page_id=641 ::: Raliegh Back Alley SS http://b1ker.com/?page_id=739 ::: Santa Cruz Bronson CC http://b1ker.com/?page_id=634 ::: Marin Cortina CX Pro ►Contact B1KER http://contact.b1ker.com

Designing, testing and producing a mountain bike is an enormously complex process. It delivers an end product that often times gets watered down by reviews to terms like “longer, lower, slacker" and "modern geometry”, keeping the original intent and nuance of the bike occulted from the would-be buyer. Yeti’s Peter “Stretch" Zawistowski has a way of making complex topics seem simple while still giving you all the detail you need to understand what goes into making a bike perform the way it does. This episode goes deep, then doses you with enough simplicity to make it all logical. Listen, get smart, enjoy a convo with the one of the leading minds in bike engineering, and head over to our Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/mtbpodcast ) to see a diagram that Stretch worked up to illustrate the crucial datapoint of “mechanical trail”. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– The MTB Podcast is presented by Worldwide Cyclery, the online retailer for serious mountain bikers.

The Carson City Off-Road reminded how great MTB races can be, but it seems other big races like the Breck Epic and EWS are headed down a different path. Is mountain biking selling out?
