Most startup founders create companies to grow them. While all organizations are different, one core truth remains — Everything changes. This is true in life and business.

We spend a huge amount of time getting customers to accept a request for a meeting. Customers are busy. They have an aversion, even a preference, not to talk to sellers. They worry about wasting their time. On our side, we are incredibly busy. We are juggling all sorts of balls, prospecting, managing qualified opportunities in our pipelines, making sure our current customers are happy, doing the endless amount of internal reporting our managers seem to want us to do.

Reaching prospective clients will be more challenging in the future. I know, you think it’s difficult enough now, but the regulatory environment is going to become more restrictive. You should expect something like the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) in the United States. Other regulations being considered would make it more difficult to make robocalls or share contact information without permission.

They are intended to help us, make us more efficient, eliminate some of the work we have to do, Instead, I wonder if they are dumbing us down. We have tools that present everything about the customer to us—the financial performance of the company, performance relative to the market, key issues facing them and their customers.
