Starting a consulting business and need help?
I have wanted to own my own business for some time now and I have many qualifications in all the right areas. My problem is getting motivated to do the things that need to be done, mostly marketing and just getting my name out there.
I’ve done more research and planning and all the initial things, but I’m on the next step and I just can’t seem to figure out exactly what that is. Can anyone give me marketing tips that will help me get started?
It will be in-home and my cell phone will be the phone number I will use. Phone books don’t publish cell numbers. I can use the newspapers but that’s something I’m not even sure anyone pays attention too. Any other tips on advertising?
first, congrats on your efforts.
i will ask you few questions, since your question is not really clear on the nature of your consulting business, that might help you plan out something.
who is your target market? who will benefit from you as a business person? how to reach them? online? print ads? what is the subject of interest of your target market?
once you identify your target market, conduct more research about their interest, the time/place where you find most of them.
EXAMPLE: if you target business individuals, they go out early in the morning to get to work, they listen to RADIO, on their way if they are stuck in traffic you will find BILLBOARDS around the area..etc.
2-design a neat business card
3-design a flyer! if you target baby boomers.
4-you can go door-to-door (if you have a tight budget.)
5-word to mouth!!! let your pool of network know what you are up to.
i can go on and on and on. i wish you were more specific in your question.
anyways i hope this helped.
