2. Aggressive Startup Tactics

"Aggressive Startup Tactics" is an interactive workshop on how to build a product, make money and raise funding. Time is against us when starting a company. The sooner we can "get to market" and find our "product-market fit" the sooner we can raise our first seed round of funding. We will cover the agile method for lean product development, business model generation, growth hacking tactics, how to create a competitive advantage, pricing strategies and fundraising. The audience will finish their list of user stories, a business model canvas, SWOT analysis, Relationship Action Plan, advertising copy, pricing survey, and pitch decks.

The audience will also receive Mentor Matchmaker's worksheet on how to build a relationship that achieves career goals.

4. Public-Private Partnerships

"Public and Private Partnerships" is workshop on how to create joint ventures that positively impact the community while generating revenue. Businesses are expected to use their resources for social responsibility and stay revenue focused, however, they lack the system for doing so. Based on his experience starting the non-profit, Mentor Matchmaker Foundation, Brian teaches specific methods to deliver value to the community, engage your staff and recruit key stakeholders to create lasting change. Participants receive trigger-ready tactics to create their own social initiatives, how to effectively partner with a local organization and how to translate their efforts into revenue.

5. Quickly Capture the American Market - Power & prestige making your first million in America.

The US imports $27 Billion of technology services from India each year. Expanding into America is fast, creates new streams of revenue, and gives you prestige over your competition. Here is an opportunity to leverage the technology you already built to capture the American market buying technology from India.

Infosys, Zomato, and Zoho leveraged their existing assets for a low-cost expansion into America. They all had tremendous sales growth and acquired brilliant minds for innovation; and Zomato received significant financing. American companies like IBM, Vodafone, Telstra, and BestBuy all outsource their back office to India. Take advantage of this open channel and growing wave.

You will benefit from new customers, increased cash flow, and first mover advantage over your competitors.

One-On-One

Lead Generation Training

Lead generation requires a speed-to-revenue mindset, fail-fast hustle and sales outlook. Your marketing manager’s success will be attributed to tactics based on growth hacking, data-driven decision making and user-centric development. My interactive, one-on-one, training will review lead generation tactics to quickly generate prospective customers. Training includes one orientation (2 hours), five coaching sessions (1 hour) and a guidebook that covers the following tactics:

  • Conversion funnels for immediate feedback and gaining traction
  • Target market maps for understanding consumers' deepest desires, wants, fears and purchase processes
  • Recipes to attack customer problems with form-gate content that’s personalized to our target market and presents solutions to their questions and problems
  • Tools to keep track of competition, alternative solutions, partners and trends
  • Decision making matrix for asset allocation and prioritizing funnels
  • Find shortcuts by partnering with external experts who are solving similar challenges
  • Using cross-fertilization of ideas to get a fresh outlook on lead generation
  • Learn where lead generation fits into and improves the sales cycle

The marketing manager will apply these learnings directly to their projects during our trainings. The training will NOT be a boring lecture, it is a "get work done" while learning engagement. The coaching sessions ensure accountability and can take place at the office or over Skype.
