The Action Plan Marketing Manual (for service professionals) by Robert Middleton


This is a superb marketing manual for service professionals. Many entrepreneurs make ends meet as consultants of one variety or another while launching a company or searching for capital. This manual will help you maximize your consulting revenues during the start-up phase.





Angel Investors


Who are angel investors? They are typically entrepreneurs themselves. Angel investors differ from venture capitalists in that they are investing their own hard-earned money into your company rather than that of institutional investors. They typically invest in the range of $25,000  to $250,000.

Here is some important advice if you are pursuing angel investors. Don't waste your time chasing investors more than an hour's drive from where your company is situated. Both angel and venture capital investing are face-to-face relationships. If something starts to go wrong at an investment, the investor wants to be able to reach it in no more than an hour's car commute. They do not want to have to jump aboard a plane to hold an impromptu meeting with management team.

It never ceases to amaze me how many first time capital seekers waste money couriering business plans overnight to a party on the opposite coast after the briefest of telephone or email conversations. They are then shocked to discover that even small deals require multiple face-to-face meetings which they cannot afford.
