How The Founder Of iContact Reached $1 Mil In Sales A Few Days After Turning 21 – with Ryan Allis
This interview first appeared on Andrew Warner’s Mixergy.
When he was 16, Ryan Allis wrote and framed a big goal: to build a company with $1 million sales by the time he was 21 years old. “I missed it by 18 days,” he says. “But I sure as heck would have missed it by 18 years had I not written down that goal and figured out how to align the people in my life and the knowledge and resources I needed to bring into my world in order to make that happen.” Ryan says you can get there too.
He made it happen by launching iContact, whose motto is “email marketing simplified.” In this program you’ll see how he hustled to get his first customers. You’ll see the struggles on his way to reach his first million and how the business generates over $3 million in monthly (not annual, but monthly) sales.
Oh, and now he has new goals. He wears 2 of them on his wrist every day. You’ll see them in the interview and hear Ryan explain what they are.
