Imagine starting a business two weeks before the Lehman Brothers collapsed, with no previous entrepreneurial experience or knowledge of the hair industry. That's the riveting journey of Ben Davis, founder of The Gents Place. In the throes of an economic downturn, Ben leveraged Facebook Ads and a subscription model to build his business from scratch, creating an unparalleled luxury experience that lured the likes of Jerry Jones and Emmett Smith as investors.
Ben didn't just build a business; he built a culture of trust and transparency within his company. He shares his journey of educating his team about the value of their time and their contributions, driving the business forward through open communication about revenue, profitability, and productivity.
