When you're just starting off...

[Kate]

The boss at my part time job was asking me for marketing advice. I had asked him if he was doing "a, b, and c" on his website and he said no. (Marketing is not in my job description, at all, it was more casual conversation, him asking what others I have worked for have done)

That night I went home and Googled local businesses in the same field and noticed NONE of them had this.

I typed out an email and sent it to about 35 businesses late last night. 12 hours later I have had 2 replies...

My dilemma is: the one person requested a price quote and "reference of the people I have helped."

The truth is, I just know I can help these people, I haven't actually helped anyone. I know the method works because it is simple and I know others have done similar things in different, yet similar businesses.

What would be a good way to handle this situation?

Also I did not offer this to the person I work for because I'm worried about conflict of interest... smart move or dumb move?
Thanks![emoji2]
