How do you retain good people in your team?  It’s always a battle. And it’s a battle for any company, not just a growing one. Free lunches, unlimited vacations, massages, and ping-pong tables are insufficient to keep the company culture going.   

Perks are great, but at the end of the day, people make their career choices on a lot more meaningful things.  

Today’s guest for Coffee with Closers has a lot to share about building fast-growing companies and preparing successful exit strategies. As someone who experienced rapid growth from 30 to 1000 employees over a period of 3 years, he learned quite a few valuable lessons.   

Meet Jordan Linville - founding Partner at Zeal, and a seasoned entrepreneur who has successfully built several companies, including one that went public on the NASDAQ. Before founding Zeal, he led North American sales at PubMatic where his team’s revenue grew by double-digit percentages each year and was frequently awarded "Best Places to Work."   

He also founded Buzz Referrals as part of the Techstars accelerator program, making numerous investments along the way and operating his own portfolio of multi-family real estate properties
