Job applications getting zero responses. What are best 1st steps to correct this.

Have you had someone review your cv and asked then to be brutally honest? If not, start with chatGPT and ask it to be brutal. Focus on what you achieved at each job and what you did. Right not the job market is not great so contact as many recruit agents are you can and get to the top of their list. This is better than applying to roles.

Job Search Strategies

What are the early signs that a company’s internal processes are becoming a risk instead of a support system?

The ideal and fast way to know this is to set up benchmarking against the industry standard or competition and measure from Day 1 (or now).

The other advice i would give is that internal processes are always a risk and need some level of continuous improvement process built into the process or team review/retros. Make sure this is done at least monthly by the business area owner and team for the main processes in your business. The customer facing processes should be measured by your customer insights and should be able to change fast and rapidly as part of BAU.

There are points, called transformation tipping points, where continuous improvement is not enough any more and then is when you create a project to get after the step change need. This seems to be what you are talking about in your question?

What is the ideal time you should take to create your mvp for tech related software

It all depends on what you mean by "MVP"? if you are first locked in the problem and persona and complete interviews then i would say up to 3 months to prove product/market fit but only focus on the main jobs to be done and don't ask features that aren't in the main value chain.

How to run a business | financial consulting firm

Consulting and very much financial consulting is all about trust. You have to have a track record of client engagement and testimonials (start with free or discount work to get these).

Then you need to be clear around your business process, what is unique and what is common. Focus on making your unique value proposition key and why you are you are better than the viable alternatives in your market (for your target personas). Secure early adopters and learn from them. Then it all marketing and sales to get the early majority.

Once up and running in the late majority tipping point you then need a great CFO or COO to run it like any other business with solid, consistent returns.

How can early-stage SaaS startups leverage an artificial intelligence developer to scale their marketing without hiring large internal teams?

AI is a big term that needs lot of things. I advice that better focus on reducing cost through automation and AI is one of the tools that helps in the middle of all that.

Step 1: Define all processes, start with back end that is standard for any business, including marketing.

Step 2: Apply Business Analysis to define optimising areas

Step 3: Automate those areas but measure end to end so you dont just have one tool that is great at one thing.

Step 4: Then integrate AI in the step that need content generation or research (to start)

If you want to know about tools and how to do this then reach out
