I am creative director of my own company and possibly looking to work with a good business development person to try and win leads for the company. Then we would see how it goes perhaps they get a finders fee, equity steak in the company etc. Just looking some ideas as I don't have the time to be sourcing work when I am doing the work.
As the owner, it is imperative that you make time to work ON the business. Commit a few hours a week to reaching out to business development folks on LinkedIn or emailing your professional network letting them know you are searching for a person to fill this role.
It is not a hugely time consuming process, but it is something the owner of any respectable company should want to have a hand in. The person you hire is going to be the reason you flourish or die.
A few hours per week will help ensure your tomorrow is better than your yesterday.
Let's jump on a call, if you need more info.
