Hi fastlaners. I need some advice on sales to make this idea happen.
I know/read that @Fox, @Lex DeVille, @Johnny boy, @Andy Black, @JAJT, @Scot are all good with sales, so I'd love your input (everyone's input is welcomed).
My idea: I want to build a real estate listing website where different local agencies can all list their properties in one place. It will be monetized by 1) Charging a recurring fee for listing with us, 2) Featured properties at top of page, 3) Add on services like photography and videography (will team up with local companies) and also 4) I'll rent advertising space to relevant services (plumbing, roofing companies etc). I know listing sites are a dime a dozen, but the country I'm targeting doesn't have one, yet.
My problems:
1) Once I complete the website, I'm not sure how to get the first real estate company to join. It's a foreign country and I can't afford to travel right now, so I'm limited to emailing/hiring a telemarketer in the target country. Any thoughts on this?
2) I imagine that once I get the first few companies on board, the rest will be much easier. But how do I get the first client if I don't have past results? How would you approach this?
Thanks for reading and for any suggestions.
