I am reading this from the perspective of an early stage startup: Biggest need for a start up is (typically) proving their business model and understanding how far it can go in terms of market size. Speak to that directly. Explain how you can much more quickly validate or invalidate their current approach.
Am not so interested in optimization than having someone that understands my business and can push us to get the right message to the right customer. You recommendation from Steve expresses that well, I'd suggest to emphasize that more in your copy.
- gk1 13y agoThanks for that! I wonder whether start-ups in your position are more hesitant to pay for consulting, since they're still (relatively) new. Would you hire a consultant at the stage you're in to help you validate/invalidate your approach? Not trying to pitch you, just want to get your point of view.
- ohsnap 13y agoSure, startups will pay for consulting. Most valuable thing at a startup is time. If you can convince a company that you can validate their current approach faster than they can by themselves it's a great value proposition.
