ForumsStarting a Business

Can you tell us a little more about this? What do your suppliers offer?
Do you have a website? What kind of sources are you already using?

This seems like sort of a "dating site" for business (instead of "Male seeks Female," it's "Product Retailer seeks Wholesale Supplier") -- is that an accurate analogy? I gathered that membership is free -- but like a dating site, to make one's listing more appealing and increase potential contacts, there's a monthly fee of $32US with a 3 month minimum.

There are members of this community who've posted questions in the past that suggest they might be interested in exploring your offering, so you might consider reposting this in the Business Annoucements forum (where I think they'd be more likely to see it).

Good luck!

Hi

ChannelCrowd has been designed around three distinct missions.

• to tame the complexity of Channel Management.
• to provide easier ways to find potential partners and business opportunities - for both the users and the providers of market channels. (Dating Agency Analogy used by Lighthouse24)
• to stimulate thinking at the strategic, as well as the problem-solving, level.

For all these reasons ChannelCrowd is much more than a community website. Its members don't just build networks, share ideas, and advise one another (although they do all of that). They also generate leads, find channel partners, and find new opportunities for growing their business.

One of the additional distinctive features of ChannelCrowd is that provides articles written by authors from the leading Business Schools around the world.

Hope that provides some additional context.

Thanks Luckiest for the tip - I had not heard about SCORE before.
