MenuHow can I bring more business to my data entry company?
I'm a startup company searching for regular clients. How should I approach companies outside of my country for work?
Answers
As I have had regional responsibility covering several countries is normal for me to think about bringing customers from several different countries.
Follow some points that can be considered.
Questions per example as:
- Main KPI´s and Strategic Goals.
- What are the Go to Market Strategies?
- Does your Business Plan define Goas, Strategies and Actions to achieve public abroad?
We also have to consider that today some web tools are worlwide tools. So, we can go to different alternatives depending on your products.
To have quality in your products and to promote actions through Internet and other ways can also leverage the penetration of your business in another countries.
The better diagnostics only will be possible with a deep evaluation of your products and businesses
If you have a good quality Business Plan it will be key for the development of Strategies and Actions in order to bring more results for your company.
It will be a pleasure to answer your questions having more details. I think I can contribute considerably. For that I am totally available.
Try very targeted Facebook and LinkedIn ads. Go with aggressive pricing on the first one if needed, then use it as a case study.
Facebook acquisition costs can be shockingly low if you know what you're doing.
Free hours for referrals can be a huge one as well. Current customers are always the best marketing channel IMO.
As a startup company, you know exactly just how important it is to have a good marketing strategy in place. Unfortunately, not everything is just about having to ideas for a go to the market effort but you must also consider execution.
I have been helping companies for the past 10 years or so. Through www.Unthink.me; my team and I have been creating and executing marketing campaigns for service-based businesses including those in IT, Data Entry, Software Devs, etc. With that said, when you have a service business you need to figure out how to position yourself through a key branding perspective that will catch your prospects attention based on their current or future needs. Through Inbound Marketing you would be able to showcase your expertise, get great SEO for your website(s), position yourself as an expert in a particular industry and start getting leads. The inbound methodology in itself is pretty straight forward but the execution is key, when possible I would obviously recommend hiring a professional to help you otherwise you will lose time and resources going after the wrong market, niche with the wrong interest and pitch. Let us know if you would like some help.

What would be a good answer for describing the size of your company to a potential prospect who might consider you too small to service their account?
What an awesome question! Businesses are running into this issue more frequently that ever, good news is, it can be done. Having worked on projects with oDesk, Fox Television and Wikipedia and having a very very small staff, it's certainly possible. Here's how I say it in our pitches to larger organizations: "Tractive West provides tailored video production services to organizations of all sizes. We have developed a distributed workflow using the latest digital tools. We leverage our small creative and management team with a world wide network of creative professionals, that means we can rapidly scale to meet the demands of any project while keeping our infrastructure and overhead lightweight and sustainable." Cheers and best of luck.SM

What does a business development role entail when it comes to hiring?
I think you should first really step back and ask if you need that role filled. Are your sales growing? Are they growing as quickly as you'd like? Do you think someone could push that needle? I've worked at companies with strong focus on sales and some where there were no sales people at all. It depends on your niche and who your customers are. Depending on your outreach methods, perhaps you need to hire someone with a strong sales background who's going to pick up the phone and start cold calls all day, or maybe you just need someone to handle your marketing better and help you out with some Adwords campaigns. Business Development is a big term, and it can cover a lot of things, most commonly sales... but salespeople aren't right for every business. So, look at your existing success. What sorts of things bring in the money now... and look to amplify those existing efforts before you go breaking new ground. You should be looking for someone who complements your existing success and can continue to tell that story, in your existing playing fields, and gradually moving into new areas. I know this was a vague answer, but I hope it helps.SL

My startup just failed. What could I start to "immediately" generate $1,000/mo?
The quickest path to cash is almost always consulting. Be very specific about what it is you can offer. Don't just offer "business consulting". Find a niche and serve it. Reach out to your network, including friends and family and ask if they need or know of anyone who might want to hear about what your consulting has to offer. That will be way faster than trying to go at it from scratch or cold calling. If you call 100 people in your network this week, you will have a consulting gig within 3 weeks. Good luck, and let me know if you'd like advice on entering a digital marketing/lead generation consulting niche. I've grown from zero to $8,000 of monthly recurring payments in the last 40 days!

Where can I find programmers willing to join a growing mobile start up for equity only?
You won't find anyone worth adding to your team willing to work for equity only, no matter how compelling your product and business is. The realities of the talent market for mobile developers anywhere is such that a developer would be foolish to work only for equity unless they are a cofounder and have double digit equity. Happy to talk about hiring and alternatives to full-time hires.TW
