Once upon a time there were three entrepreneurs: they came up with and grew Mosigra—the legendary chain of tabletop game stores. Then they pooled their experience and turned it into a book on how to launch and grow a business the Russian way. Each chapter of the bestseller Business Like a Game answers one of the most painful questions for an entrepreneur about:
Employees:
• What are an employee’s “critical days”?
• How can you tell when it’s time to promote someone—or, on the contrary, to part ways with them?
• Why should you let an employee take a day off every time they ask for a day off?
Sales:
• How to arrange a product so it looks like a work of art?
• Why is it better to round the price down to the nearest tens rather than setting it to 799.99 rubles?
• What is “post-purchase shock,” and how can you help a customer get through it?
Marketing and PR:
• How do you understand the customer and stop annoying them with your communication?
• How does an “emergency envelope” save a company in a difficult moment?
• What is “minimum reputation hygiene,” and how do you maintain it so you don’t undermine trust?
The Fun Life of Mosigra:
• Why did Dima Kibkalo tell Sergey Abdulmanov, “Be like Lenin”?
• How did an interview with Dmitry Borisov appear in —and why, at that moment, he was putting together the 60th package?
• What do former Mosigra employees do now—Karina Baeva, Vyacheslav Sharovarov, Olya Tarabarina, and Maksim Polovtsev?
