Find someone who understands and loves your industry. Marketers work best under an incentive system. If you hire an outside marketing company expect to pay an initial retainer, and obviously, get references. Be clear as to what you expect them to do for you and get a detailed proposal from them. If you hire someone to work for you, offer a sufficient salary that demonstrates some confidence in your product. As a marketing/sales pro, if someone offers me a commission only position, that tells me they have zero confidence in their product and will offer zero marketing support. If someone offers me a decent salary, plus indicates a willingness to fund at least a modest advertising effort, that tells me that they have confidence in the product's appeal. I would expect to be mostly dependent upon commission, but I need to see some confidence in the product and some willingness to support marketing's efforts.
why find an "angle" investor? that is just one more thing to go wrong. Whether you hire an outside marketing consultant or hire a marketing employee, they answer, with an investor, you answer to them. Worse, you give away part of your company. It is just one more thing to go wrong. Better to devise a marketing plan with a limited budget.
Foxconn won't be able to be quite as horrible in the US, but it is a Foxconn plant and conditions will still be horrible. Even so, this is proof that corporations respond to publicity and pressure.
sent in good presentations? or maybe people with female or funny sounding names are not evaluated fairly. I really have a hard time believing that it is just a coincidence that the best presentations were submitted by white men.
