From Start-Up To Scale-Up - How To Build Credibility 'On-The-Go'

Maybe you have an idea for a new product, want to get into a new industry or want to do a 180 career change but then, you doubts creep in.

How would anyone take you seriously without having had any experience.

Who would buy into your vague solution without having any proven success stories to show?

If any of that sounds familiar, then you’ll love this week’s blog because we’re joined by someone who tapped into the ‘on-the-go’ credibility approach which I explained a couple of episodes ago.

Justin Falk is the founder and MD of TalentVine, a RecTech solution that connects recruiters and hiring managers.

I’ve known Justin since day dot of his journey when TalentVine was pretty much just an idea and I remember it as it was yesterday when he came and visited for a chat to introduce the concept. He was very upfront where he was in his journey and didn’t sugar coat anything. Now, 7 and a bit years later, he’s turned this idea into a thriving business that I backed by investors, and continues to grow as it meets the demand of transparency for service solutions.

We cover:

• What it takes to build trust and credibility without having a proven solution yet

• The role transparency plays in building credibility ‘on-the-go’

• What investors and decision makers are looking for in pitches and people with new ideas
