Does anyone know a good platform for free business advice? Like a roundable group that is all small business owners?
I have had a business coach for a couple of months. When I come against a wall the coach tries to help me get through things on my own which is the point of coaching. Yesterday we were speaking and he suggested that I write out pros and cons on a piece of paper about my dilemma and I noted that type of "writing" does not solve anything for me. We determined I need an advisory panel to pitch my business model and for that panel to talk things through until we all come up with a good solution. Scanning online I only find paid for groups if your company is net $1MM + and that is not my company.

I agree, I also have a business coach, but sometimes you just need more people to get good feedback. I signed up on a Entrepreneurship Blackberry BBM group, but all they want to know is where you are from. That is nice info, but when I asked questions like who needs some help with their business, they did not understand why that mattered.
What is your product? Maybe I could help.

— Natedog1244My product is a program used by large volume home builders in order to help their clients obtain loan approval when they do not have the required credit standards. I looked at your Sales Mobile demo and we would have a very similar target audience.
— adaileySounds like it. My program is not geared toward home builders, but more toward the renovation industry. Do you want me to have a look at your program? Do you have any feedback for me?
— Natedog1244My program is in development. About a month away from being live so sure when it is complete I would love any advice on it.
— adaileyAs far as the software you developed... Can you tell me more details like pricing, how is it installed, etc. Also my thought in the beginning was that the survey was after viewing the pics and so was wondering if it was possible to have the questions at the bottom of the picture so they had a fresh memory?
My product is something I deploy onto someone's Playbook remotely. It is customized with their pictures, questions and comments. The reason the pictures are at the beginning is because they are just client testimonials. The program actually has 4 main options that the Project Manager can select. For a renovator it would be kitchens, additions, basement, bathrooms. If they select multiples, like kitchen addition, then what the client sees is a bigger program with more pictures and questions. The commission that I am setting is $750 to sell the program which retails for $3000. It can be for Playbook, iPad or Android tablets. email me at nathan@salesmobile.ca for more info!
