From Zero to a 6-Figure Exit in Just One Year with Jordan Saniuk [Ep.168]

Some of the best businesses start organically —by solving a real problem.

Jordan Saniuk’s business was no different. As a realtor, Jordan had trouble selling a property and noticed a bigger issue: Realtors needed a better way to connect. So, he created a platform where they could share listings, price reductions, bonuses, and more. Realtors loved it, and within a year, Jordan’s idea grew to 500 clients and 43,000 subscribers.

In our latest podcast episode, Jordan shares how he built this business from scratch and sold it for six figures—all in just 12 months.

Jordan opens up about the challenges he encountered while scaling his business and the tools and techniques that helped him succeed. One of the keys to Jordan’s success was his effective use of email marketing. He found a way to connect with potential clients without overwhelming them, building trust and credibility along the way.

But Jordan didn’t stop at digital marketing. He also tapped into the power of in-person networking. Jordan explains,

“Lots of people want to start an online business and market it through social media and paid online ads, but there's no replacement for in-person networking. Telling people about what you're doing in real life, getting them excited about it, and having them tell other people. Real social proof of concept is much more powerful than reposting someone's story on Instagram.”

This mix of online and offline efforts gave Jordan’s business the edge it needed to fuel its explosive growth.

After just one year, Jordan decided to sell the business—a big move that came with valuable lessons of its own.
