Advising fellow veterans on growth strategy for their small businesses. Founder @ BaseofFire.com & Dir. of Ops @ Remoovit.com
Are sales slower than expected? Let's put some gas on that fire. I've helped other veteran-owned businesses increase new leads by as much as 30x. Let's talk.
Let's talk about transitioning to the civilian world. I became employee number three at a startup within a week of leaving the Army. Then helped build that company to almost $1mil in revenue. I'll give you advice on where you should focus your efforts and how to stand out in the crowd.
Honestly, the best person to tell you where to start is your customer . . . the healthcare professional. So you actually need to start with Customer Development. As Steve Blank says: "Get out of the building and talk to customers." You need to actually get in touch with some of these professionals and ask them what their biggest problems are. Don't mention blogging or webinars - these are merely vehicles. And worse, if you ask if your customer will read the blog or attend the webinar, they'll always say yes, but likely won't follow through. UNLESS, it's solving their biggest problem.
Get to know your customers intimately and you'll know not only what you should start advising about but also the best method to deliver it.
My consulting and mentoring session with Aaron Saaro was extremely useful, highly constructive and relevant.
Aaron is an active listener, asks insightful questions and provides clear actionable advice and "next action steps" I could immediately utilize in a highly constructive manner.
Aaron is especially helpful in distilling concepts related to the "Lean Startup" methodology and the Agile and Scrum frameworks.
Aaron Saari is a talented and competent officer that ranks easily in the top 10% of his peer group. On every task he consistently exceeded my expectations. Aaron is a dedicated professional and ready to accept positions requiring independent thinking, leadership and increased responsibility. He has the right skills and unique experiences as an Army Engineer and would be a tremendous addition to any team. Unlimited potential.
