MenuMentoring in helping a company go from $20 to $50 mill annual revenues.
I have a management consulting role with a internet based direct marketing company and my primary role is to help the company grow in size. It would be great to bounce some ideas around with someone experienced.

Hi there
Sounds like a great challenge - would love to bounce some ideas around with you. I've been building businesses for over 12 years now and have consulted with numerous global brands on business strategy, marketing programs, business model design, and digital marketing.
Let me know?
Best,
Matt
Need more information (obviously!) feel free to set up a call.
Glad to discuss as well. It is impossible to be theoretical on this topic - so please ask a specific question or raise an issue.
One quick comment though - company growth must be in the job description of all employees!
If you are the only one charged with this, you are in trouble!
I saw this post, and don't know if you ever connected with anyone who could help you. I staarted in the direct marketing business 30+ years ago, my wife and I built one of the earliest email marketing platforms (which we sold to a public company a few years ago). We definitely understand the space and would be interested in helping you if we fit the bill.
That sounds like an exciting role to be working. I am not sure whether you got any sold assistance from anyone yet.
For a business to maintain its performance, its employees have to follow the system and be on the same page.
For a business to grow, 10 - 20% of its employees have to be on the same page and willing to go the extra mile to provide extra value for its clients.
For a business to multiply its revenue within a short period of time, at least 50 - 75% of its employees have to not only be on the same page, they also have to be willing to change their habits and mindset, and willing to go the extra mile to provide extra value for its clients and contribute their strengths proactively to support the exponential growth of the company. Thus, you need a leader who is very clear on his or her vision to lead by example and has the ability to inspire the employees to grow together.
Here's just by quick two cents. Feel free to reach out to be if you want to share with me more about your company, your role in this growth, and how much influence & leverage you have in your position.

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

19 year old with a start up idea that doesn't really know where to start.
Try and find someone your age that can code and persuade them to join you on your journey. It's either that, or learn to code. I've done both. Learning to Code www.udemy.com www.treehousapp.com + many other. Finding a Co-Founder - Go to meetups - Find a school that teaches computer science - Find someone on GitHub.com The truth is there's 100 ways to solve your problem, but it will take risk and based on your question it doesn't seem like you're willing to take any. If you believe in your idea, it may mean sacrificing school? If you're not willing to risk that, then why should an investor risk his capital on you? It just shows your conviction. Not everyone is suppose to be an entrepreneur. If you are, you'll need to step up and take action. P.S. I started when I was 17. Failed. Tried again at 19. Failed. Kept at it till I was 24. Won. Again at 29. Won. Again at 31. Still going (= Clarity). Just start.DM

How do I become a mentor at 500 Startups?
As a 500 Startup mentor I would suggest the following 1) Blog about distribution, design and data. Those are the things that 500 values most and usually the fastest way to get on their radar. 2) Interact with @davemcclure (and all other partners) on Twitter 3) Attend geeks on a plane or other events they host. It's all about relationships and perception, so create opportunities to increase the probability of showing them that you have skills that are relevant to the companies they invest in. Hope that helps.DM

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
