Looking For Someone in Boston, Miami, or Chicago To Help Me Expand My Offline Business

11 replies
So I run an offline business (web design, and local marketing/seo). Recently, I've been seriously considering expanding my reach to other cities, specifically those mentioned in the thread title. I feel like my marketing model would work well in most any city, and I could expand my business in a big way if I made the right moves.

My success depends a lot on being a local company though, and being able to meet face to face with potential clients is very important for converting sales. That is why I'm searching for someone. I'm interested in talking to people about a potential joint venture, where we could partner up in an effort to get more clients and make some nice money.

Here is what I propose:

- I would handle all marketing, and possibly all email responses.
- You would handle any phone responses, and meet potential clients face to face.
- I would handle all fulfillment. Your responsibilities would only involve meeting with people and gathering project info, and you would have no expenses, other than maybe taking a few prospects to lunch.

I would pay you a third of the total revenue for each sale. For a typical client, this works out to roughly half of the profit. If we closed a $3000 website creation deal (which is fairly typical), I would pay you $1000.

For large clients, I would probably fly in, and we would both meet with the client.

If anyone is interested, please let me know via PM. I think this could really be a good opportunity for the right person, and we could both increase our income. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Robert

      I don't know if you've considered it as a potential city, but I live in Orlando and would be glad to discuss this with you.

      Please let me know if you want to pursue this with me.

      Thanks,

        Hi Blake,

        I may consider Orlando, if I can find someone good to work with. Can you let me know how I can contact you? I am assuming that you're not able to send PMs, right?

          Hi Robert,

          my company is the following blinksoe.com and i'm planning to switch to local media marketing, and social media.

          I can do more than just meeting with potential clients as I have done what you do now in the past; but my main question is will you provide a marketing technique to getting local clients, either for website design or Social Media Marketing.

          If so, then count me in. We can talk more about the details once you get back at me.

          please reach me at: taloucci (at) gmail (dot) com

    Thanks to everyone for responding. I have spoken with some great people from Miami and Chicago. Is anyone in Boston interested?

    If you're in a different city, and you feel like we could strike a deal, let me know. I am open to looking into other markets.

    My biggest problem is, nothing in Mass looks even remotely similar to Miami. People up here like these old school UGLY old homes. This whole state looks like backwoods country to me. Personally, this place looks like an old beaten down junkyard.
    Maybe I'm just a city slicker!
    In any event, this is starting to seem like the wrong state for me.
    Maybe I'm expecting to find some sort of normalcy in something, *anything*, that looks or feels even remotely similar.
    I'm not sure what my next move is going to be. Maybe I'll move to the city next year, and try that out, although I'm not good on dealing with a lot of noise. Still trying to find the right neighborhood that I can live NEAR the city but not quite in the city. A neighborhood that looks *new* like a new condo development or a new spec home neighborhood development, give me something similar to Florida for crying out loud.
    Anyone have any ideas as to an area that might offer something like this?

      Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I'm still looking for someone from Boston. If you're in the Boston area, and you're interested, let me know.

      I'd like to get started soon, so we can get lots of promotion done before November, when businesses seem to shut down on anything new until January.
