As an example, a recent US veteran just started a solar business. It is a very competitive industry. He was having a hard time getting any attention or clients. He came to me. I got him his first big client ($50K+) by introducing him to my connections in his area. Then I got him on 9 local radio News and Talk shows, two TV stations and in a dozen local newspapers and magazines. I also arranged for him to speak at a local gathering business owners that produced 3 more clients. I helped him write copy, press releases and speeches. I built him his website and taught him how to blog and use the social networks to find new business. His business has taken off. He has hired several executives and dozens of sales people and installers. I have been building and marketing businesses since 1970.
