The firm use direct marketing methods to promote and market client's products and services with a professional and friendly approach.

Apollo Enterprise Inc. outlines seven mistakes to avoid as a new leader:

1. Thinking you need to make every decision.
Trying to make every decision will only turn a leader into a micro-manager. Apollo Enterprise Inc. believe strong leaders know there are numerous decisions that can be made just as well by others, and there's no better way to allow others to develop their leadership skills than by letting them make decisions.

2. Thinking you know everything.
Regardless of how smart leaders may think they are, nobody wants to work for (or be led by) someone who comes across as a "know-it-all." Apollo Enterprise Inc. believe strong leaders know there is always more to learn, and they actively seek out new things to learn each day.

3. Failing to realize you're being watched even when you're not being watched.
Leaders are leaders 24/7, and one of the easiest ways to undermine a person's ability to lead is by being one person while leading and a different person at other times.

4. Failing to realize that it is not about you, it's about the team.
There is no need for a leader if there is no one to lead. The measurement of a team is best seen in the sum of the results of the people. Apollo Enterprise Inc. believe if the results are greater as a team than they are individually, then the leader is doing what they're supposed to be doing.

5. Not realizing how quickly what you say or do can and often will be misinterpreted.
Regardless of how well leaders may think they communicate something, it still needs to be verified. Nothing will sink a new leader faster than being misinterpreted. Apollo Enterprise Inc. want to remind people, it's not just words that can be misinterpreted; personal actions as a leader are under just as much scrutiny.

6. Being afraid to lead when it's time to lead.
Anyone can lead when things are good. It's when times are tough is when leadership is needed. Don't be afraid to stand up and make the tough call. You'll earn more respect for making the tough decision, regardless if it is ultimately right or wrong, than for shirking responsibilities and not leading at all.

7. Not realizing the most important thing is what happens when you're not present.
Apollo Enterprise Inc. believes it is all about developing people who do the right thing, regardless of whether the leaders are around. Great leaders can step away from an organization and there is zero reduction in the performance of the team.

Apollo Enterprise Inc offer training to new entrepreneurs in leadership to ensure the mistakes highlighted above are avoided.
