Spencer with Shared Vision talked with host Richard Grove about the process of creating a tool specifically for creators to interface with affiliates and make that accessible to consumers. Shared Vision streamlines the process for shopping lists and the links to purchase products and so simplifies the process for both creators and consumers. He and Richard discussed the app, the software creation process, HAVEN 2022, and much more.

This show was originally broadcast live from the 2022 HAVEN Conference held at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia.

Organization Conversation is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Spencer with Shared Vision

Unlike a paycheck from an employer that you actively work for, passive income is money that you earn during your downtime.

Money that comes in even if you’re on vacation. Affiliate marketing (aka affiliate links) is one of the biggest tools that creators use to grow their passive income but what happens when those links stop working?

Passive income revenue decreases!

Shared Vision is helping creators reclaim that revenue one affiliate link shopping list at a time. Their app helps consumers easily build their shopping cart from the lists provided by creators.

About Richard Grove

Richard Grove, Host, *Organization Conversation*

Richard Grove‘s background is in engineering but what he enjoys most is brand building through relationships and creative marketing. Richard began his career with the Department of Defense as an engineer on the C-5 Galaxy Engineering Team based out of Warner Robins. While Richard found this experience both rewarding and fulfilling, he always knew deep down that he wanted to return to the small family business that originally triggered his interest in engineering.

Richard came to work for the family business, Dekalb Tool & Die, in 2008 as a Mechanical Engineer. At the time Wall Control was little more than a small ‘side hustle’ for Dekalb Tool & Die to try to produce some incremental income. There were no “Wall Control” employees, just a small warehouse with a single tool and die maker that would double as an “order fulfillment associate” on the occasion that the original WallControl.com website, which Richard’s grandmother built, pulled in an order.

In 2008, it became apparent that for the family business to survive they were going to have to produce their own branded product at scale to ensure jobs remained in-house and for the business to continue to move forward. Richard then turned his attention from tool and die to Wall Control to attempt this necessary pivot and his story with Wall Control began. Since that time, Richard has led Wall Control to significant growth while navigating two recessions.

About Wall Control

The Wall Control story began in 1968 in a small tool & die shop just outside Atlanta, Georgia. The first of three generations began their work in building a family-based US manufacturer with little more than hard work and the American Dream.

Over the past 50+ years, this family business has continued to grow and expand from what was once a small tool & die shop into an award-winning US manufacturer of products ranging from automobile components to satellite panels and now, the best wall-mounted tool storage system available today, Wall Control.

The Wall Control brand launched in 2003 and is a family-owned and operated business that not only produces a high-quality American Made product but sees the entire design, production, and distribution process happen under their own roof in Tucker, Georgia. Under that same roof, three generations of American Manufacturing are still hard at work creating the best tool storage products available today.

On this episode of The Exit Exchange, Diana Murphy and Bill McDermott each shared how they help business owners achieve successful exits. Bill noted that the difficult part of getting clients to sell their businesses is not necessarily the lack of understanding of what needs to be done, but the mental block of getting them to take that first step. He offered an example of a recent engagement where breaking through that inertia was critical to the desired client outcome. Diana discussed how she focuses on the business owner’s thoughts and feelings to better understand their concerns and worries. She notes that many times, spouses or other family members can influence the business owner’s decisions without them even realizing it. By taking the time to ask specific questions and really listen to the answers, she noted, advisors can help uncover these hidden issues and create a faster process. Diana and Bill also shared why they are members of XPX Atlanta.
