MenuHow can I find a list of legitimate data entry companies?
I am looking to tie up with small data entry companies and work as a franchisee. How can I get a list of data entry companies - specifically ones that may want to franchise?
Answers
I almost always turn to Upwork for work like this and I focus on the Philippines. Excellent workforce, good attitudes, and effective results if you screen well. Can't beat the cost, either. Don't expect to get good results from the lowest priced, but I have had superb folks at $15/hour.

Here are some suggestions for finding legitimate data entry companies that offer franchise opportunities:
Search online directories for franchise opportunities. Sites like Franchise.com, Entrepreneur.com, and Franchising.com list franchises by industry, including business services like data entry. Look for established companies.
Contact industry associations like the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) and inquire about member companies. Reputable ones may offer franchising.
Search business opportunity or franchise resale sites. Sites like BizBuySell list existing franchise businesses for sale, including data entry companies potentially open to franchising.
Reach out to franchise development consultants. Consultants can provide referrals to data entry companies seeking franchisees in your area.
Search local business chambers of commerce. Look for established data entry companies registered as members and contact them directly.
Attend franchise or business opportunity expos in your region. Data entry companies may exhibit and provide information on franchise opportunities.
Check with SBA.gov for data entry company franchise filings. Only legitimate franchisors are required to register documentation.
When contacting companies, check for established track records, positive franchisee reviews, clear franchising terms, and support provided. Avoid asking for large upfront fees without a franchise agreement. Due diligence is key to avoiding potential scams.

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...Dan WaldschmidtDW

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.Tom WilliamsTW

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.Shawn MatthewsSM

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.Tom WilliamsTW

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.Sam LawrenceSL
