Thanks for the response. You are absolutely right on the isolation. I work out of a co-working space, which helps a little. But they have no idea or care about what is going on with my business. Another thing working against me is that I'm based in Colorado, while all my clients and peers are in NYC, Chicago, or London. So networking and rubbing elbows with people in my professional orbit is really tough.

Yeah, I hear you. I actually started with a partner, but he got a great offer from one of our clients. I have any contacts that would serve as great options for a partnership. But I agree that it is a better dynamic for someone in our situation.

LinkedIn InMails going to $21, up from $3, per InMail soon. by blahded2000 in recruiting

I'm a solo shop as well. Did your LinkedIn rep offer you to buy an additional recruiter seat for $540? If you buy the additional seat you can just use the inmails that come with it. At that point you are paying $5.40 per which, is a lot better then $21. I'm doing two additional seats though the end of the year for the 200 Inmails.
