What systems/tools do you use? Please list all shopping carts, autoresponders and such that you use on a regular basis.: We are just getting started and need to get all of these systems in place. Would like to set everything up correctly to support the growth we’ll have.
What kind of experience or background are you looking for in an Online Business Manager?: Looking for someone who has marketing experience, is sharp with the technical side of things, as that is not our strong suit. Our OBM needs to be able to work on their own without a ton of direction and needs to be able to just get things done fabulously without a ton of back and forth or input from us. We’d like to be able to tell you what needs to happen, maybe give a few examples and have our OBM run with it.
Tell us a bit about your business. What do you offer? Who is your market?: My husband is a consultant in the financial industry. He works full time +++ in a position that is running him into the ground. We would like to become a little more independent of his current position by building a coaching/consulting business where he teaches people in his industry how to start their own businesses and make money at it.
He’s been studying internet marketing and online business for over a year and has a good idea of what needs to be done, we just don’t have the time to learn it and do it ourselves.
What are your business goals for the next 12 months?: To launch our business and replace his current income as quickly as possible.
Who do you currently have on staff or contract? And what do they do for you?: We don’t have anyone on staff at this time. We have spoken to another marketing agency once before, but didn’t get the feel that they really wanted to work with us. I’ve also spoken with a couple VA’s, but no one person really had everything we needed and we don’t want to have to manage a team.
How many hours help do you anticipate needing on a monthly basis?: 30-50, especially in the beginning getting everything set up
What is your budget to hire an Online Business Manager? (in USD): Are very open here for the right person.
Why do you want to hire an OBM?: We realize that we have the vision and know how to do offer our services, and have a plan for creating products and multiple streams of income. We just need someone to manage the process, build the team, and whip it all into shape.
Feel free to share anything else that you would like us to know about you and your business.: We don’t have much free time, so don’t appreciate anyone wasting our time. We feel that all we really need is the right person to run this and help us launch it out there. You don’t need to know anything about our industry, the key is that you know how to build an online business. Must be extremely detail oriented, organized and able to advise on the various aspects of different programs, softwares, procedures, etc.
How would you like people to apply?: Please send me a proposal via email by 7/15/2011 to jz082996@gmail.com. We really don’t have much spare time and want to find someone as quickly as possible. This proposal is your chance to shine, tell us all about yourself, what you have to offer, your website, references from people you’ve worked with (or are currently working with) as well as any details in terms of your rates/packages, and how you work. The more info you can pack into these proposals, the less time we’ll have to spend following up with everyone on missing details.
