Matt Kress left his job at a sales effectiveness company, moved out of the States and then wasted thousands of dollars on Adsense niches. Then, he joined an entrepreneur group and started focusing on helping others. Now he runs Relate.ly, his SaaS app, and does consulting to help people build and maintain relationships that help increase sales, referrals and repeat customers.
