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.

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!

How do I attract talent to a startup?
"Just" a startup? Most technical and design talent are more attracted to startup opportunities than working for big companies. So the issue is not that you're a startup, the issues are around how you make yourself the most attractive startup to the talent you're trying to recruit. The best way to do this is to be able to articulate why you're already on the path to being a very successful business. Selling top talent on your company is often the same as selling investors. The more that you can demonstrate that you already have the right ingredients for success, the higher a likelihood that you're going to close your recruiting pipeline. Obviously, depending on the cash you have in the bank and expect to have in the bank will impact what kind of offer you make, and the more that you can mitigate the "going concern" risk, the more success you'll have in getting an offer accepted, but it's ultimately about convincing the talent that joining you and your team is better than any opportunity they can take, including starting their own company. If you can't be competitive in your own backyard, I would look at hiring remote workers or look at relocating talent from less competitive markets to your own backyard and selling the lifestyle advantages of your particular city. Recruiting top talent is a significant part of any startup CEO's job. I'd be happy to talk to you about what I've learned and share some of the tactics I've used and seen others use successfully.TW

As an accounting graduate with no money and no connections, how do I start my own consulting firm? And how do I get clIents?
STOP. DO NOT DO THIS.... I would never want help from someone like you. Don't get me wrong -- you aren't evil (that I know about) but you don't seem have any value that I could pay for. What would you be "consulting" a CEO like me about? How do you expect to make my business better when you don't have a clue about your own business? THAT'S THE TRUTH... Fuck the truth. If you want to get clients then you hustle -- every waking moment. You try an angle and fail and then try a different angle. You can't outsmart your way to bigger results. 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 -- it equals you going bankrupt. If you want to be successful then you need to exert massive amounts of effort to get off the ground. So get your ass out there and start asking everyone you meet: "What is that one big accounting question that's been bothering you for some time now? If I can't help you i'll buy you a cup of coffee" Then just go be a badass...DW

What's the best way to approach a Fortune 500 company regarding a business development opportunity? What people, process, tips do you recommend?
The best thing to do to start any kind of sales or relationship building process with a Fortune 500 company is to recruit willing champions of you and your company. The good thing about Fortune 500 companies is that there are *lots* of people who you can potentially recruit. Many of them are active on Twitter and LinkedIn. I've successfully sold to Fortune 500 companies this way and I'd be happy to share relevant tips with you.TW

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
