1. If you're looking for programming companies (companies that create mobile apps), I can refer you to 2-3 such companies. 2. If you're looking for someone to help you manage the project with the programming company, I can connect you with someone. *** I strongly advise that you sign a service provider agreement regardless of who you use, and I would be happy to give you some pointers on key things that you need to do in order to make sure that the project is completed to your satisfaction. I've drafted tens of these contracts for both sides (startups and service providers) and know exactly what they should include. I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs and would be happy to help you. After scheduling a call, be sure to please send me some background information so that I can prepare before - thus giving you maximum value for your money during the call itself.

Hi First of all - good luck. Second, the TAM is less important, the SOM (relevant Share of Market) is the important piece of the TAM, and this is much smaller. Either way, not everything that shines on paper shines in real life, or as mike tyson said: "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the punch" - in this case, business plans often don't survive reality. 1. My advice: unless your service is something that already exists in the market and has been proven to work, I would wait with the business plan (BP) and instead create a Business Model Canvas. If you want to write a BP nonetheless, I would be happy to review it for you (I even teach a course on it). 2. Stage 2: create an MVP / validate your idea. I am happy to explain to you exactly how to do this. Doing this properly, will save you a lot of time and money down the line. [see more info on validation in one of my previous answers: https://clarity.fm/questions/6423/how-do-you-do-market-research] 3. Improve MVP + create deck + write BP (only if you need investors which I assume you do because you mentioned the deck). I can happily give you comments on your deck, refer you to someone who creates beautiful decks at reasonable prices, and help you prepare your pitch via online video chats. 4. Create (almost) final version of product. The MVP is the most important stage. It doesn't even have to be a working product to first check the demand in the market. I've successfully helped over 300 entrepreneurs and would be happy to help you. After scheduling a call, be sure to please send me some background information so that I can prepare before - thus giving you maximum value for your money during the call itself. Good luck

Great you're interested in starting a business! Since you're starting a t-shirt business there are loads of different options for marketing your company. Many of the best e-commerce companies market on Instagram and Facebook. Instagram is great for t-shirts because someone can be browsing, they can see a shirt they like, buy it and stay in the app and continue browsing. You'll want to make sure you have good pictures and that your e-commerce website is optimized for converting interested leads into customers. Happy to chat more on the strategy.

If I understood correctly, you are planning to create the app for free in exchange for percentages/shares in the business/startup? If so, the best option would be to partner with accelerators/incubators and other organizations that work with startups who have good ideas. I personally work with hundreds of startup each year, so if you're interested, we can talk and possibly collaborate. Good luck

From what i know basically, a cell phone booster works by pulling in weak signal, boosting it, and then rebroadcasting it inside your area in need.

Ok, I wish you had specified if the photo's are full body or just face so to give an accurate answer

Plugin will be the recommended option.

Sometimes you get too caught up, and as a result, your site gets slower and slower because you keep adding more and more. It's called code bloat, keep your site lightweight

The domain ranking will not pass to the subdomain. The subdomain is treated like a separate website. This means that if you get ten backlinks to your main site. The subdomain will still have zero backlinks. I would not create a different website either for your trainers. Your new trainers would start with a domain and page rank of zero. I suggest that you add your trainers to the following: website.com/trainer/trainersite This way, the trainers will be able to get the domain rank of the main website since it is a subfolder.

I have the same passion as you and the first time i heard about clarity i asked the same question, because i wanted a way to impact other people's lives. I think clarity is good, and i think it can provide a lot of value to people, and you can actually build a business here because the market is good

This is something I've encountered many times - a lot of companies don't understand the importance of getting news out quickly. It's very important to make sure you have the right contact for approval and if possible, let them know to expect your press release within whatever timeframe. From there, continue to remind them of the importance of turning it around quickly. Provide them with the pros of releasing news timely and the cons that come with not. I hope that helps!

That's great what you've done so far! I've raised over a million dollars specifically from angel investors. Raising money is usually a full time job. In order to get angel investment you need to put together a good pitch deck, practice your pitch and be prepared for good questions. Next you need to find angel investors. Usually the best way to meet angels is through introductions from other founders. Finally when you meet with the angel investors you want to tell them about all the progress you've made so far and how their investment will accelerate your progress. You also need to explain to them how your company has a lot of prospects for either making money, getting acquired or eventually IPO. It can be a very difficult process.

The best place to start a company is Delaware. It has the most protections for businesses and has a long history of being the state of incorporation for almost all of the major companies in the United States. The incorporation process can be difficult but there are some services that help like nitrouscompany.com. If you need any help feel free to reach out.

It may just be how I'm interpreting your statements and question, but I'm sensing two different approaches are on your mind. Getting clarity around your end goal will help you attain that goal. You indicate you are a consultant with a methodology that works. At the same time, you indicate that the identified need is often a missing layer between business owner/CEO and front-line sales - the missing layer is a type of sales leader/manager. If you wish to fill the missing layer, that sounds like you are wanting to become a VP of Sales or some similar role. In that case, you would approach your problem as you would approach a job hunt. (The "how" for this fills innumerable books, articles, etc.) If, on the other hand, you want to focus on consulting, AND you are still focused on the missing layer, you'll have to figure out some way for that layer to be filled. Are you giving the CEO new skills, helping the CEO identify someone who can fill that role, or some other approach? By the way, if you assume you can partially fill that hole as a part-time leader, I'd suggest re-thinking it. Leadership, including sales leadership, requires a wholesale commitment to the team. So, someone still has to fill that role. To continue on that consulting path, though, you've actually pinpointed your answers. Referrals and relationships are ideal for a consulting firm of one. Beyond that, since you're a sales consultant, be your primary client. Use your methodology to stir interest, create a pipeline, convert to clients, etc. One last thought. The needle in a stack of needles is an apt description. There is a HUGE number of small/medium businesses out there without a sales leader. Do some market segmentation for yourself. Industry, geography, company size, etc. to make the haystack smaller. You'll find there are a lot of needles hidden in that smaller haystack...

Well, let me start by saying this. You may need to change some policies upon your companies behalf in order for them to actually obey and follow through with upholding the new law in CA. If you could provide further detail to as of what exactly the new law is, and how it complies with your contractors specifically. I could be of better assistance, cody.

I dont have any experience with hair products, but one thing that i have learned about business, doesn't matter what kind, is that we have the power to expand our businesses in our hand. Have you ever considered social media? Imagine this, if you are a singer, and you are trying to get a producer or a label in your track what do you think is the best way to present the track to them? Simply by sending DM's to 1000 singers. One of them will respond and iniate business with you

You could: 1. make a connection between per project and equity allocation - so each time they complete a project, they get a small % of equity. Research has shown that people prefer small payouts than one big payout at the end (ppl can't postpone their desires...). 2. Keep them involved in the decision loop and share with them small successes. Make them feel part of the company/business. 3. Give out additional 'bonuses' for projects done well or for milestones achieved by the company. 4. If you have the capital/money to support it, then make it clear that they can exchange their equity for money - if a company is willing to buy back it's equity, this shows that the equity has value - which will make them want to keep it. The only challenge with this last option is that if you do buy back shares, it creates a tax event for both sides which isn't always advised. There are a few additional options.

Yes you can.

there is no PCI compliance requirement for consumer devices and the mobile apps running on those devices.

What type of product would you be selling in EU? There are quite some specialised, regional platforms. Coolblue is another Benelux platform e.g.

Hello, I like how you have identified your passion and understand who you want your target audience to be. I have sold technology solutions for 6+ years to entrepreneurs and business owners- a big part of the selling process requires value-adding, which can only be achieved by understanding the minds of your target audience. To find a niche, you need to start by asking yourself what kind of value you can bring to your specific target audience of entrepreneurs or business owners. Everyone has limited attention span these days and unless you can figure out what these people care about and how your coaching/consulting services can benefit them, it will be difficult to connect and add value for the entrepreneurs. In short, you should determine your niche by figuring out what these folks care about and then hone your craft around providing value for those individuals. Happy to get on a phone call if you want to talk about specifics. Best, Kevin

Hello. I help increase sales through customer success. This mainly envisages sales, marketing, business strategy, and ensuring customer ROI. PR or influencer marketing is nothing in itself but part of a business plan. Where do you and your business want to go? What are the gaps? This should in my opinion determine what kind of brand building and activities you need. Let me know if you need to talk this through. Bye and all the best.

Hello, growth hacking can be applied to offline businesses and services too. There are a lot of businesses dealing with offline products that have used growth hacking to multiple sales and profits. SquattyPotty is one such brand. A lot of growth hacks nowadays use digital channels but depending on the product in question, offline mediums can also be explored. Last year, I created a PPT that perfectly answers your question. Here is the link, https://www.slideshare.net/upreports/growth-hacking-tips-techniques-for-beginners Give it a read. If you have any queries, let's get on a call or exchange emails, varun@upreports.com. Thank you!

I would start by introducing a highly valuable or consumable product with the lowest price point. In other words, choose a lower cost item, but something unique and valuable. If you have to, break even or keep the profits minimal. This will create a positive perception and may even drive your feedback higher. you may want to do a second or third product like this to really build momentum for future higher profit product introductions.
