If We Can, You Can

If you can spare the time at the moment I would be interested in you becoming my mentor. It’s taken me a long time to get set up and I feel like I am still in a start up position. I could really use someone’s help in Sales and Marketing, Networking. Can anybody help me?? Thank you in advance Steven

As with any new venture it is an adventure. The culmination of over 9 months hard graft and research , we are almost there. Website is coming on lovely and market research is very positive with almost everyone being supportive. Launching in a recession is OK for us as we are looking to help the smaller micro businesses out there achieve their potential in SEO and Google advertising on a slim budget. My background is in offline business and working in IT as an Exchange Server specialist. I have no real experience of launching an online web-only business and hence would be partial to some pearls of wisdom from the more veteran campaigners out there. The main areas where help is needed: 1) Sales strategies/model. We have 3 in mind and need some feedback on which is best or which combination? Anyone been involved in Sales strategies 2) Marketing / promotion startegies. Quite a few ideas here from the usual to cutting edge wild and wacky. Need some feedback on these. 3) Natural or Organic SEO. We require a strategy on the implementation of natural SEO (left side Google) , have ideas but need some help. We will be using SEO software but would also like to explore newer cutting edge ideas. 4) PR and press releases, whats the best way? I realise it's quite a list but if anyone can help on even one point then that would be fantastic. All help will be appreciated and any help we can give you we won't hesitate. Thanks for reading

I have got to where I am by working with some great people who have been kind enough to share their experience and time with me – I will never forget that. You need to work with people who have been there and learn from them, so experienced non-executive directors who can ask the difficult questions and keep the business on track and I can learn from are vital.

i would appreciate the opportunity to network with other people in business who are or can put me in contact with more potential customers or who have the benefit of years of experience.

networking, contacts and just “getting out there” are the biggest factors that will help me continue to grow and develop my business. support organisations, networks and groups will be vital as well as good word of mouth. outside investment will also play a large part in the growth of the business, but only when the time is right.
