Relationship brokerage and "finding who in that organization I need to cold call".
I spend about 3 hours a day chasing up someone in a massive hierarchy and when I find them, it's usually the wrong person and I need to backtrack and restart the search from another point up the department tree.
I would pay $100 for every successful match, and up to 5% of the project fees if and when I get a contract based on this lead. We need people outside of the startup scene, people in boring industries who know other people.
I have become an alcoholic taking people out for drinks every night just to find out they don't exactly know who I thought they did know. Launch a startup that allows company employees to snitch on their bosses and sell future project plans, acquisitions and RFPs for $$$. If I can get a 48 hour head start and discover the plans before anyone, I will make it up to you BIG TIME, secretly and privately.
It's about time social networking got a little shady ;-)
- jayliew 17y agoHmm .. so this is a sales / lead generation problem right? * Just to look at today's solutions - have you tried digging LinkedIn real hard to find the person with the right title? Knowing the exact title or "path" on LinkedIn would quickly tell you if someone really knows person X or not? * There's a few pure lead generation companies out there, have you tried those? (Just to understand what's not working with how people do things today)
