    Creating a Sicilian food franchise [HELP NEEDED]

    Bingo. It sounds like Chinese dumplings here in the states. Unless you're a dumpling house, you're buying it from a third party. The benefit of B2B here is that it would provide you with sales and capital to fund your commercial kitchen, which I doubt is cheap if Belgium is anything like the...

    Cold Calling Realities

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Again, it will come back to training and monitoring but it could be viable. I know of a company that does this with junk leads they buy and pay the call center about the same amount to run them on the autodialers.

    Your risk is control of the floor which is a pain either way. I would suggest doing this for appointment setting only.

    Care Giving For The Elderly

    Mediocrity in this industry scales well. A high quality business along the lines of what OP was thinking, not as easy to scale.

    Care Giving For The Elderly

    Your problem here will be Scale I think. There is always a need for competent home care but it's really hard to train people to do this well. I like the idea of emergency care since I haven't really seen that model but I suspect there is a need for it. You may even be able to get referrals from...

    They could in theory do that but how easy is the product to create in house well? The value point is that they don't have to create the product and can just cook it and sell it. Bear in mind that nothing is stopping them from doing that right now or once you get popular.

    Stumbled into my Slowlane business. Time to down shift and floor it.

    NOTABLE! SLOWLANE 
    The irony is that for all the get rich quick morons who waste time on ecommerce crap, there are still vast sums of money that can be made doing things the old fashioned way. Case in point: I have a client that built to $6 million a year in revenue off of nothing but direct mail. The "marketing...

    The US Needs More Tradespeople

    HOT! 
    If I could go back in time, I would probably have either become a general contractor or gone into a specialty trade. Definitely fastlane options. You never realize how worthless a law or accounting degree is until you end up hiring and firing them.

    HOT! 
    1) Is the non Italian population sufficiently aware to know and buy this? Especially if the only product on the market is crap. 2) Is that just ingredient cost? 3) It only violates control if you limit the number of restaurants.I bring this up because this is how Chinese dumplings are often...

    I think you're on to something here if you have verified there is nothing similar like this. Here's the three questions I would recommend you be able to answer before launching: 1) Is there sufficient demand for these in the locality? If not, what's it going to cost to educate the community...

    Financial management service for busy professionals

    I am a CPA (so I get the benefit of the cartel :) ) . These are very valid points that we'll be working on as we roll out the services. Most of our target clientele don't have accountants so we don't think it will be a conversion issue.

    We will keep that in mind thanks! We're pretty confident in what we're sending out this round, because even with a mediocre return, we'll still do very well.

    Direct mail question

    MARKETING 
    Ideally I'd prefer a turnkey service because USPS is a royal pain when doing bulk mailings. I did the math on another mailing and it comes out to about $0.60 per piece for us to mail if we buy a list, print the cards, and mail them ourselves.

Basically, I'm designing a financial management service for busy professionals that I'm hoping to use to springboard a hybrid Local-Virtual CFO service. The way this works is lets say you're a new real estate agent. In...
