Peter asked:


We are a 2 person start-up company. We have purchased a company with 10 years history, very good credit rating, and at zero employees, in NorthEast USA. Since we are tight on budget and are working as full time consultants ourselves, we are unable to market and expand the company. We were wondering if there are any websites/resources (besides posting an Ad on a jobs website) which we can explore to communicate to potential IT services marketing personnel in the NorthEast USA, to see if we can work on a commission-only basis initially. Once we start serving 2-3 clients and place a few consultants, we can afford to switch to a salary + commission option. This can be a great option for a marketing person who has contacts in the market but would like to work from home or work flex-time.
Thank You!

I’m an “idea” person. I’ve a music CD out that’s been favorably received and aired on two stations, but I’m a mom with little ones, little time and less cash at the moment. Any suggestions on some cost efficient marketing tools? The CD is meditative and has a very vertical market, BUT it’s gone to 8 different countries and people seem to love it. Any thoughts? I keep hoping for a marketing partner, but wouldn’t know where to start looking. They’d have to work for commission.

My goal for two years has been to sell 10 CDs a day. That simple thing (at retail, more if at wholesale) would move this forward.

Thanks for your thoughts.
