Let Your Customers Market For You with Kendall Hines from Clicki
In this episode, Kendall Hines shares his entrepreneurial journey from working in his family's lawn care business to founding and selling LawnBot, and then launching Clicki, a referral software for small businesses. Starting in the lawn care industry, Kendall learned the value of sales and marketing, transforming his family's business from a stagnant operation into a million-dollar enterprise.
He then identified a gap in the market for online lawn care services, leading to the creation of LawnBot. After selling LawnBot, Kendall noticed how local businesses struggle with referrals and founded Clicki to streamline the referral process, aiming to keep capital within local communities and away from big tech advertisement expenses.
