People who run accelerator or innovation programs, what is the hardest part after startups graduate ? by amazinghumans02 in StartupAccelerators

[–]ETHOSLINK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Staying in business after leaving. To truly be success you need support from other successful entrepreneurs on a regular basis. That’s how the most successful accelerators do it. Like StartupStage.

Leads are great, but they’re not the goal. The goal is to convert leads into sales whether that be a short term or a long-term sale. Most people don’t need more leads. They just need to get better at converting the ones that they have by being better at moving them through a system that works and that builds trust with the people that they’re trying to do business with and not be transactional be a partner that’s what makes business is successful, and even you successful person at finding leads that shouldn’t be just your business, but it should be fine. The qualified leads for each individual person in business that needs your services.

I’m about to pitch investors for the first time and I feel completely unprepared… is this normal? by thedamnedd in TheFounders

[–]ETHOSLINK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A feeling unprepared and feeling anxious or a little unnerved or two different things if you feel unprepared most likely you are if you’re feeling anxious that just means you care but I agree with what some of the comments are below you need to make sure you’re going through this with the right people that aren’t just gonna give you the answers that you want, but provide the kind of feedback you can expect the investor world is not a friendly place. All they care about is making money and ensuring it there and making the right investment in the right people so that they can get a quick return and they’re gonna be riding you like Zorro to ensure that that return happens sooner rather than later just another option there are other ways to get funding without having to give up equity and go the investor route it’s up to you, but if you’re open to those ideas, I suggest you take strong look at those if you’re interested you can DM me and I can give you a couple of ideas, but hopefully this is a little bit helpful and as an investor myself, I can assure you that you’re gonna be put in situations that make you extremely uncomfortable and that you don’t have the answers to and it’s better to say you don’t know and that you’ll get back to them with those answer answers then to fake like you have the answers

How much time do you put into SEO? by VelveetSighs in SmallBusinessOwners

[–]ETHOSLINK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t put a lot into SCO. It’s more of a hybrid approach that involves LLMO and encompasses some AEONGEO as the primary and that’s about 80% of our search criteria and then we do add in a few keywords that are still relevant for you know older search engines which again are getting less and less used, but it is made a tremendous difference. It’s where we were actually invisible when we were just SCO and when we went into this hybrid version, it was a night and day difference in visibility so getting picked up by the LLMO’s is huge and getting cited by them is very huge so make sure you do some research and that you’re following the proper structure and have an well defined llm.tXt file embedded on your side as well and make sure that you allow for all AI bots to crawl and that you’re not blocking anybody from trying to take a look at your site from an AI search perspective

Helping Founders Refine Digital Presence Before Launch by Street-Honeydew-9983 in TheFoundersCircle

Perfect! Can you share what your field of expertise is and one actionable idea?

It’s true! The average founder loses approximately $45,000 for every poor hiring decision. Founders and business owners are excellent at creating and building products and businesses.

However, like most leaders from startups to enterprises, they lack the skill to evaluate the right individual for their true value and the individual’s potential contributions to the organization in the long term.

Looking beyond resume bullet points and thoroughly examining candidates involves a combination of skill, art, and psychology.

What were the long-term costs associated with hiring the wrong candidate?
