065 | Sam Nebel shares why a MAYBE is worse than a NO!

Sam Nebel, AKA The King of All Wipes, is the bodacious co-founder of Goodwipes: a fun, modern and eco-friendly wet wipes brand that empowers people to do more, feel good and live clean. Sam and co. have led their brand to triple digit YoY growth and onto the shelves of Walmart, Container Store, Airport Shops, Academy Sports and more. He has always found himself in quirky entrepreneurial endeavors. Sam likes to read, eat delicious food, exercise, and build the Goodwipes brand.

The last time you pitched a prospective client with how you can help serve them & solve their problem, did they immediately answer with a resounding YES?

If I had to take a guess, you’d probably say NO. You had to wait for a response.

In this week’s episode, Sam Nebel, shares how so much of his entrepreneurial journey has been sitting in the gray area of “maybe.”

To Sam, “maybe” is when you’ve pitched yourself to a client (or in Sam’s case the sharks on Shark Tank), and you’re waiting to hear a firm YES or NO. In that waiting period you have to keep your mental fortitude strong, and keep working away at the tasks in your business. You can’t just sit around waiting for the YES or NO.

There have been different instances throughout Sam’s business where he thought Goodwipes was a shoe-in for an offer or a spot on the shelves, but they ended up being a NO. One thing Sam didn’t do, was wait around for the firm answer, he kept working really hard at what he wanted for his business.

If you’re ready to stop feeling uncomfortable and unsure of yourself every time you don’t get an immediate answer, this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!

  • “You really have to find mental fortitude to keep pushing through and be prepared for any and all scenarios.” ~ Sam Nebel
  • Goodwipes really wanted to get onto the shelves of Kroeger, they redid their branding and were just waiting for the stars to align. After much waiting, they heard back from their broker representative that Kroeger was not going to bring them in. Listen to this episode for Sam’s FULL story!
  • Sam admits to The Pitch Queen, that he and his partner did not follow-up with Kroeger like they were supposed to, which might have led to them not getting a spot on the shelf. Huge lesson learned here, Royal Family! Learn from Sam. :)

  • Sam talks about getting wild and crazy with their marketing and has even considered dressing up like a woman to hand out his woman’s hygiene wipes.
  • If Sam and his company are able to expand that will signal to other retailers the success they’re having and will hopefully bring in more business.

  • Sam shares some really amazing advice about what he would tell his younger self.
