Kim & Nguyet (Austin, TX)
Kim and I wanted to express our deep gratitude for your invaluable guidance in the pack and ship business. Your insights were pivotal in helping us master the business trade, resulting in the ownership of two pack-and-ship stores. We're truly thankful for your mentorship.
Looking back, we’re so glad we took the chance to send you that cold email. It led us to our meaningful connection. Your wisdom empowered us to successfully acquire our first store (Postmark’d), and now we're on the cusp of establishing a second one (EZShip+) within just six months. As we head towards our second store, your lessons continue to guide us.
Update: They now have 5 stores, with the most recent one just opened in Austin, Texas!
Also, thank you for being available to jump on a quick call whenever we needed guidance. Your advice has been incredibly helpful. Your success is motivating, and we wish you ongoing prosperity. Thanks for being a cornerstone in our venture.
