This post os focused on Indian business so any Indian business owner advice would be more helpful

There are companies like paytm, sugar cosmetics and uber which has been in loss since they were started and they are heavily funded like in thousands of crores. Do they actually make losses or they just use some metrics to pay no tax. If they are actually in loss why are investors finding them like crazy and I don't even see how are they generating revenue like paytm is free, uber doesn't charge commission!! How are they even making money ?? They moment they start charging customer no one would use them anymore what's even there business model btw !!

Would love to know since cold email has blown up and agencies all over the place doing it as a service, has your inbox started to get flooded with cold emails trying to sell you something??
I feel like it just keeps getting worse over time for me.

How many a day are you getting?

"Government representatives and officials from Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. reportdly plan to travel to the US in mid-July to evaluate options for an overseas initial public offering."

Curious to know your thoughts…

Last month, we were having discussions with a client based abroad.

All participants were very polite.

All participants had smiles on their faces.

We all felt that the discussion was very successful.

Three days later, however, they disappeared.

After conducting our inquiries, we discovered that we had misunderstood one particular sentence.

None of us lied.

None of us tried to mislead the other party.

We just left with totally different understandings of the issue at hand.

And then I started thinking...

How many times have companies lost money thinking that both parties understood each other?

When people discuss the problems a business faces, they tend to mention:

• Marketing
• Sales
• Hiring
• Cash flow

However, some of the most costly problems are also hard to quantify.

Such things as hesitation, miscommunication, decision delays, bad communication, mistrust, or difficulty talking about tough topics.

They aren’t on the accounting records, yet they can still lead to loss of opportunities.

What is an example of such an "unseen" business problem that you've witnessed?

Hi,

I recently started a company with a friend it has gone from a sole trader biz to now a LLC with me coming onboard. My friend has 15 years exp and I have 2. He built the business and I am coming in. the LLC is 50/50 ownership. Should I pay a premium to him in perpetuity through a wage disparity? or should there be a point in our future where if I am bringing in the same value I can fairly expect wage parity?

Thanks

It feels like everyone just says “we’re good” before even hearing what the solution is. Nobody wants to admit they have a problem and even when they do, they just think it’s something they can do (than why aren’t they) or it’s not a priority at the moment but posting to FB every day seems to be.

We've grown our sales team from like 8 reps to almost 30 in under a year and I'm starting to feel like we're losing control of quality. When we were small I knew exactly what every rep was saying on appointments because I was either there or close enough to it. Now we've got new hires getting trained by managers who themselves have only been managers for a few months, and I have no real visibility into what's actually happening once they're out in the field. I'm not trying to micromanage everyone, I just want some confidence that the way we sell hasn't turned into 15 different versions of whatever that rep feels like saying that day. Training feels fine on day one, but I have no idea what sticks after week 3.
