Sales Executive - Consulting Services to SMBs and Entrepreneurs

SALES EXECUTIVE - CONSULTING SERVICES TO SMBs & ENTRPRENEURS

The Lonely Entrepreneur (www.lonelyentrepreneur.com) is seeking a Sales Executive that will sell Consulting Services to SMBs with revenues ranging from $1 million to $25 million.

TLE's Consulting Services will provide SMBs with a "sidekick" that will help them at every step of their journey. Many SMBs have passion and great businesses, but many fail to turn that into the personal and financial success they desire. That is why many SMBs say, we are all "lonely entrepreneurs."

Why are we all 'lonely entrepreneurs" - because we have not addressed several fundamental issues:

- Having a Financial Plan (I know that I need a real financial plan toachieve the revenue or profit I want. But how do I do that?)
- Beating the Competition By Creating a Playground Where No One Else is Playing (I know my product is unique but it's so hard to stand out from the competition?)
- Setting Goals and Priorities (How do I set business goals that bring significant results when it seems everything is a priority)
- Everything Revolves Around Me (How do I get my company to run or grow when it feels like I am the "sun" and everything revolves around me?)
- Raising Money (How do I raise money when I've never done it before? It feels like being on another planet. And can I really take time from the business to do it?)
- Being a CEO (I've never led a company before. What should I be doing as CEO? What should I not be doing?)
- Getting People to Perform (I've got people. But how do I get them to perform?)
- Being Great at Sales (How do I get my sales team to deliver our message in a way that closes deals consistently?)
- Marketing Plan (If everyone uses the same marketing tactics, how I am supposed to stand out amongst others that are probably doing it bigger and better than I can?)
- Growing and Scaling (I knew how to grow the business to this point. But how do I set it up to scale?).
- Legal Mumbo Jumbo (We've got legal issues that come up every day and lots we are not even addressing because we don't know what they are.)
- Someone Who Understands (Who can I talk to that's been in my shoes?)
- Time Management (Every company has more to do than they have time. How do I find the time to run a company without compromising other aspects of my life?)

TLE's Consulting Packages range from $7500 to $100,000 and provide a "sidekick" to address these issues for SMBs.
