Shepherd's Rapid Growth
Share
A story about how Nick Huber helped grow Support Shepherd from a small operation to a multi-million dollar business through Twitter promotion.
"In late 2020, I wanted to hire somebody in the Philippines and met Marshall Hasso who owns Support Shepherd. I was his customer first - made a deposit for them to hire somebody for my self storage facility. They built the job description, got me 3 candidates to interview. I was absolutely blown away and hired all 3 people.
Fast forward 4 months later, I had 15 of these people working inside my company. They weren't just doing simple stuff - they were answering sales calls, guiding logistics. They could do exactly what our American reps do, except instead of paying $60-70k a year, we pay $10k.
In May 2021, I went to Marshall and said I wanted to be an affiliate. At that time they were doing about $50k a month in revenue. I started tweeting and recommending Support Shepherd for a 15% cut of revenue I brought in. A year later, Shepherd had 7x'd in size.
I went back to Marshall and said this business is too good - I want to own part of Support Shepherd. He initially said no, calling me just an influencer. I told him I'd either go start another company that does exactly this or I could be his partner. We negotiated and I got 15% of the company.
Now it's a multi-seven figure profit business. I make $50k a month personally from my 15% ownership at Shepherd."
