The story of the founder
Transform your business online and take the road to success!
I help you go from "it would be good to..." to "now I do!" and let's build together a success story of your store in the digital world!
Hello! I am Cosmin Costea!
Has it ever happened to you that no matter how good or stable things seem on the outside, inside you feel that something is missing? That you deserve something better? Or simply that you are not on the road you should be on?
Know that you are not the only person! Stay with me until the end because in the following lines you will find both inspiration for your own journey in eCommerce & online business, as well as concrete methods to reach the results you want and deserve.
The story I will tell you next is the journey from "it would be good to...", "I would like to..." "I should..." to: "Now I act!" Now I'm changing my life and that of others through what I know best: eCommerce and online business".
During this journey I understood that although there are many ways to earn money, there are only some in which passion and skills create that balance between fulfillment, continuous evolution, material success, freedom and contribution to a better world. It is the duty of each of us to find our own authenticity and to define our success in our own terms.
Traveler through the world of multinationals
Of all these paths, multinational life was the most challenging. I met extraordinary people in this environment, and 2 of them particularly inspired me: a Swiss and a Romanian. I learned a lot of business and discipline from Marc, the Swiss. But the Romanian, Laurentiu, remained in my soul because of his way of being and thinking.
But after a while I was only thinking how to escape from the world of multinationals. I was trying to get out of that vicious circle. But the biggest obstacle was precisely the good that I had become accustomed to: the nice salary that comes every month on the card and the company car.
The AHA moment
One day, however, the phone rang. It was Calin, the commercial director of a company in Sibiu. He asked me to recommend him a good eCommerce consultant. I recommended Cris, a Brit from whom I had learned what it means to do professional eCommerce.
From one to another, I told Calin, with great passion, about what and how to make an eCommerce project that works from the first. He liked my enthusiasm and how much I knew about online business. Suddenly I ask myself: But you couldn't offer us consultancy?
That was my AHA moment.
My card failed. This is what I actually want to do. To help others to do what I know best: online business, eCommerce. It was the moment when something changed in me. I went from "it would be good to...", "I would like to..." "I should..." to: "Now I do! Now I'm changing my life!"
I went on many roads, but after a certain period the same scenario repeated itself: I started with enthusiasm, then I hit "dead ends" that generated frustration. For once I knew that this was my path.
And that's how it all started! With a decision.
During the week I worked at the multinational and on the weekend I went to Sibiu and helped a Romanian company to start the business through eCommerce. It didn't take long until I told my wife that I wanted to resign and go on my own.
He suggested me to think about the family's priorities and our two children who were small and needed stability and predictability in the family. Either entrepreneurship brings you neither one nor the other, at least not from the very beginning.
Burning ships. Welcome eCommerce and Digital Transformation
In the end, I understood that my wife's approach was intelligent. It made me mobilize, to go on this road without looking back. Entirely. Otherwise it wouldn't have worked out for me. And then I proposed an agreement. If I sign another firm contract, to help another company to launch its online store, then I really resign and put all my energy into the new path. That's what I did.
Since then, I offer consulting and training to entrepreneurs and company managers. I chose to focus exclusively on what I know how to do best (and I like the most): eCommerce Business and Digital Transformation.
The transition to the new road
It was not easy to move from the corporation to my own business. But something changed in me then, at the moment of the decision. I understood who I am and how to make myself feel fulfilled, while contributing to the fulfillment of others.
It wasn't just about entrepreneurship. Not. It was about me as a person. About the freedom to decide what you want to do, and to assume the consequences. I could not have done this without the people who helped and guided me. Whether they taught me business, whether they gave me a kind word when I was disappointed, or they encouraged me when I had lost hope. Without them I could not have taken these steps.
The Vehicle of Transformation: The 7 Pillars of an eCommerce Business
Ever since 2010, I started to outline my own working method, which I called: The 7 pillars of the eCommerce business. Since then, for 10 years, I have been applying them and teaching my clients from Romania, Europe and the world to use them. What makes this method so powerful? I constantly optimize it, finish it, make it as actionable and concrete as possible, depending on the reality of the market.
In the meantime, I worked with smart companies, in beautiful teams where I felt excellent: the SAP software producer and the software integrator JPARD, from Cluj. I had extraordinary projects, most of them in Europe, but also in Asia and the USA.
The results of our clients
I have applied "The 7 pillars of eCommerce business" in many projects. In large companies and start-ups. Every time it worked. And it produced money, a lot of money. I worked with start-ups that started from zero and reached millions of euros.
I'm talking about companies from the most varied fields: from retail to distribution, fashion, insurance, telecom, pharma, automotive, electro-IT, furniture, DIY.
I have worked with small teams of 2-3 people and with huge teams of hundreds of people. It worked for everyone. Because they are basic elements, elements without which no online business can function.
Our clients tell us: "we exceeded our sales target, we launched in record time, we optimized processes, we got rid of unnecessary expenses."
I worked directly in dozens of projects. They didn't all turn out perfectly. But in 9 projects out of 10, our clients get something spectacular. We can do an excellent job for you too!
How do we help you get results in eCommerce?
The 7 pillars of an eCommerce business guide you completely, from A to Z:
- Strategy & Planning & Scaling
- Team & Partners & Processes
- Marketing & Customers & Segmentation
- Commercial & Assortment & Sales
- Financial & Legal & Reporting
- Technology & Project & Webshop
- Logistics & Support & Analysis
The same will work for you, through the programs we have developed:
- we approach the most compact version, eCommerce Essentials, for those who do not have time and want to grasp the essence, the overall picture.
- we work leisurely in the eCommerce Masterclass, where we go into details, case studies and concrete examples from the students' business
- we go deep into a single topic and break it down until we get to the core of the problem and the real concrete solutions that work - in eCommerce Deep-dive courses.
- we go directly to your company's headquarters (and to the warehouse) in a Consulting project where we work side by side with your team until everything comes out as it should
Regardless of the situation, we use the same "7 pillars of the eCommerce business".
And the results are concrete, direct, and measurable.
Back, on the path of online commerce, but in a new formula
I started to build a team of collaborators and an ecosystem of partners with whom I do extraordinary things.
In 2018, I realized that I cannot help enough people through consulting alone. It is valuable and brings you satisfaction. But you influence too few entrepreneurs and managers.
So I decided to use all the know-how I have accumulated to create courses and training programs. At first there were classes in the classroom, then on Skype and Zoom.
What did I understand from this road, which I chose to walk?
I understood that you cannot succeed alone, that you need a team and someone to guide you. I'm talking about someone who has been there, who went through what you are going through now, and who has already managed to do what you want now: to succeed.
So, don't waste time with expensive experiments, when you have the chance to use a tested and validated plan to get your store up and running right away.
An invitation for you!
Whether you sell products or services, whether you sell to other companies or directly to consumers, we can help you make no mistakes.
Even if your business is good, or your idea is brilliant, mistakes are costly. And they can cost you everything. Time, money, energy or reputation.
It's very sad when an entrepreneur or a manager loses his self-confidence because he failed in a project.
We are here to increase your chances. Nothing is 100% impossible. I have already helped many people to greatly increase their chances of success.
Most of them started a profitable business, significantly optimized costs, or increased sales spectacularly.
