Ep.60 Deb Jeffreys on the Four Stories That Every Entrepreneur Needs to Tell to Build a Thriving Business

Like any parent, my guest in this episode of the Dent podcast knows the difficulty of balancing a great career with family responsibilities. But by leveraging her entrepreneurial skills and core values, she managed to balance being an attentive parent with building a successful business.

Meet Deb Jeffreys. Deb is the cofounder of the Brilliant Group, which is all about innovative digital marketing. As an expert storyteller, Deb has helped scores of businesses articulate their brand’s value and thereby generate between $100,000-150,000 in their first year after being serviced by Brilliant’s marketing team.

In our conversation, Deb discusses the four stories that must be told in order to build a great business. She also talks about what her business did to evolve from charging $5,000 for a website to an $80,000 minimum retainer income.
