Thinking of starting a stretegic advisory business fir early stage firms. Does this make sense?
I’ve been thinking about starting something on the side and wanted to get a sense check before I go too deep into it. I am already into Salesforce consulting but just wanted to get a hang if this idea.
The idea is pretty simple not a full consulting firm, no lead gen machines just pure advisory!
What I’ve seen is that a lot of founders start scaling, add tools, hire people, try different sales motions, but things start getting messy. Note - this is happening in my current firm itself.
So the thought was to offer something very lightweight:
A structured session where we look at their sales, GTM, tools, and execution, figure out what’s actually not working, and give them a clear direction on what to fix.
No long-term contracts, no “we’ll implement everything,” just advisory and structure so they can move forward properly.
I’m trying to figure out if this is actually something founders would pay for, or if most people would either:
a) try to figure it out themselves
b) directly hire someone to execute
Thinking to start with Indian and US firms first and then might reachout to others.
Just trying to understand if this is a real need or if I’m overestimating it.
