We recently connected with Paul Boynton and have shared our conversation below.
Appreciate you joining us today. Risk taking is something we’re really interested in and we’d love to hear the story of a risk you’ve taken.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak to your audience. Well, our team has backgrounds in corporate risk management and business information that carry over to other disciplines, like credit, lending, legal, industries, supply-chain. Much of the successes in our careers is directly attributable to local partners providing understanding and awareness that only people in the know can do. We want to be a resource that replicates corporate intelligence on this level. As far as risks, making the commitment to be a founding member of Company Search Incorporated (CSI) was one that required time, focus and an abundance of resources to be successful. We partnered with seasoned entrepreneurs with proven industry track records and yet, this new horizon comes with many risks. Becoming an entrepreneur alters your mindset and brings a spectrum of emotions. The experience is more complex, with many more surprises.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your background and context?
My career has been focused in the specialist insurance market, serving across the industry spectrum as an underwriter, national network resource and broker, with a focus in the political risk and non-payment insurance sectors. I assisted multinationals with growth in emerging market operations with the use of insurance capital. In other words, build, hire, sell and expand in new economies with the support of others’ coverage, in exchange for premium. I had the privilege of working with some of the world’s most recognized corporate brands, advising and servicing their businesses worldwide.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Industry networking and channel marketing are common themes for a successful client base. Industry might mean a common standard industrial classification code, or maybe an amalgamation of corporations by product type. For our subscribers that use our platform for marketing it’s more about compatibility with products, culture, logistics and profitability. Whoever that partner is, it’s important to connect the dots and understand management, ownership, operations, trade partners, legal records and business cycle.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
There is no shortcut to success. Understanding the foundational needs for product development including building the brand, marketing, vendor approval as well as the time and resources that are required is very important. I’ve been learning as we progress for much of our journey building our platform and we are working though and positioning ourselves for greater visibility.
