    How hard is it to move a business?

    Hi, I am based in CA and own an online business. I was originally planning on moving to NV in a couple months where I would then be able to incorporate, but now it doesn't look like that will be feasible. I may have to stay in CA for another year or so. I was wondering what happens if I...

    Who has joined a business related group on Meetup.com?

    I am thinking of joining a couple groups related to business on the meetup.com website (quite a few of them are around since I'm in the LA area, some with 200+ members) If any of your guys have been to one of these meetings, do you feel it was productive, or more of a salesy/motivational type of...

    Telemarketing: Try to sell on the phone or leave an offer?

    MARKETING 
    No offense taken, I'm asking for an online resource because I need one in order to look this info up for all markets that are not local (which is the vast majority of them) The local chamber of commerce has very limited use to me.

    Telemarketing: Try to sell on the phone or leave an offer?

    MARKETING 
    For just a general list of dentists I could even use the yellowpages. What I'd love to get ahold of is an online resource for new dental offices. because they are the dentists who could really use my service (ie my true target market)

    Telemarketing: Try to sell on the phone or leave an offer?

    MARKETING 
    I like the idea about calling during off hours, sounds like a great way to get to the boss. I will probably do that as well as leave some sort of message with the secretary during business hours (since I have so many dentists to market to) Is there a way to get that list of new businesses...

    Telemarketing: Try to sell on the phone or leave an offer?

    MARKETING 
    I am starting a business that generates leads for dentists via local search results. The website is almost done and I will soon hire a guy to telemarket my offer of 5 free leads with no obligations. I know that lead generation is a tough business so I will be very clear that I am not expecting...

    Any clever ideas for finding a competitior's supplier?

    IDEA 
    I think this thread has run its course. The last thing I will say is that I didn't start this thread with the intention of "finding the easy way" but rather to gain a competitive advantage. Maybe the ethics of my package idea are poor, I'm not sure, but I probably won't be trying it.

    Any clever ideas for finding a competitior's supplier?

    IDEA 
    I was thinking of leaving a plain damaged box outside their office with a note from a generic "delivery service" mentioning that the box was damaged in transit and the return address label was sheared off. In order for the service to investigate the claim, they would need the sender's address...

    Going straight to the manufacturer for the cheapest price

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I know someone at my school who started an e-commerce business from scratch. His story was remarkably simple: After selling his niche products on ebay and amazon for a while, he tried contacting the manufacturers directly and buying directly. He started a website, which looks like a generic...
