Q & A

Dang few!! We dig deep before we become colleagues. We will do deep research around 3-4 a day (PayPal $100 1/2 hour or 3 hours). If a 1/2 hour search indicates - it ain't gonna scale to what should be expected; we'll tell you. If we get into the 3 hour search realm---you have our attention---; we will brainstorm to conceptualize what steps will be needed and if those can externalize in the tough markets of the world. We then will deliberate an old well versed theme - Begin with the end in mind and can we help.

Your product makes that muster, we contact you as to - you have something we are interested. We'll offer our services. On average we rotate 3-4 clients. By rotate, at a certain level; the company has a foundation and a growth factor achieved-you will no longer need us. We are a growth company-30%-200% growth per year. An equity growth factor of 3-15%, that's not us. You're established.

Steve - We are not a funding company. That time will come and we can point. Or get involved in strategy. We prefer not to 'offer' a particular funding source. Once dollars get involved, there is a slight shift in risk vs rewards. Exampled: short run gains vs equity gains. Something simple as that affects how one suggests. We are here to help you scale...to all you readers - 50 states and several global issues, we don't option out legal either. Just suggest and point.

Don't ya just love competition!! Main reason-we do not sell anything. Freelance sites are valid, just don't sign off with the cheapest 'bid' regardless of stars of 5. Agencies-again a valid approach. As Covid 19 hit; furloughed agents filled the web. Search as you will; 2 caveats-they are not accustomed to start-up budgets and the agencies are rehiring.

To my comment above - we don't sell anything - but deep research. We can be a full agency - if that is what you need. Exampled-Krista is one of the best webmasters we've ever had. You wanted to use your own webmaster source. 

All you asked of us - ensuring your webmaster gets to the point - quickly and on budget. Nay Krista. Yay oversight - worked well for you didn't it? For you readers - go to our website cooksoutsourcingnetwork.com under Menu Pricing/Feature.

We used to. Once you enter The Twilight Zone of search engine biz plans; Free Plans, Tools/Software, Samples, Templates ones eyes glaze over. Our opinion, there are two parts of a business plan: back office to customer service-front office customer service to paying customers. Our goal is to establish a means for the first 1000 paying customers. The initial business plan is an outline not the goal. More a guide to establish a foundation...which will change as the business grows; hopefully fast. We'll help, but for anyone to suggest that their method is best for you - needs to dig deeper into your company. At a beginning stage; a 1 - 1 1/2 page business plan will suffice

Quick answer back: 

~ Have you ever read a posted, negative testimonial? Me either.

~ As you now know; we are fortunate to have experience in multiple market silos. I list a SaaS testimonial. Would a SaaS referral be relevant to you? Nope. We researched/suggested to investigate B2C-B2B2C-DTC for your product...you chose DTC. We have references to specific markets, choose our referrals to the clients needs.

~ Hypothetically, we posted (once did) 5 testimonials; after 5-10 calls per day-they asked to be bypassed on the website - testimonials now based on market silo and product to that silo (bout step 3-4)

Danica ~ good question! My kids wonder the same. To answer:

~ I don't fish. I don't play golf. I live in Florida. Retire to where?

~ I've been lucky enough to create a lifestyle and workstyle where I continue to contribute. Retirement is a mental exercise - ain't there yet

~ I have much more to learn...in my line of work...Teach Once-Learn Twice

Doppelganger? Good question with a serious answer! The last 8-9 years of my business; I've done quite well in $$ with word-of-mouth marketing.

From large companies - WDW/Universal/P&G-Gillette/Macy's/Scott-Fetzer...bringing suppliers into considerable growth mode within such large companies, plus my own start-up creations.

I would only work projects that had the most potential - theirs and mine. Mostly me doing the legwork; outsourcing assignments I was weak, --- coding/programming 

(a lesson learned quite a while ago ~~~I cannot draw a straight line with a T-Square)/doodlers for graphs and info-graphics/artists (which I have even less talent than T-Squares)/designing

websites then ongoing auditing with dealers preferred webmasters/...

Cook's Outsourcing Network is a natural development for those years of work-realization; time to evolve a Team Company on a more national stage.

There are a lot of people with great ideas, but need help in get-goin...here we are. DUH! just dawned on me...Cook's Outsourcing Network is a start-up.

At least I know what to do and not do!!!
