016: How To 5x Your Business Without A Sales Team With Andrew Dumont

Growing a company from nothing to $35M in annual revenues is impressive on its own. But when you do it without hiring a single sales person, people take notice. In today’s episode, Andrew Dumont talks about what made that growth possible for Moz – and what he’d recommend to anyone trying to start a company today.

But Moz isn’t the only place Andrew has worked, so you’ll also get to hear about what an Entrepreneur in Residence does, how a studio environment can help nurture startups, and how Andrew came to be and the challenge Andrew currently faces at Bitly – and how he plans to meet that challenge head on.

Andrew also shares his opinion on whether marketing and growth should be separate functions in a company, and offers the best growth tip he’s ever heard. Ready to be IN THE KNOW? Give this episode a listen!
