Sorry just posting this again in the hope that someone could help.


Have any of you guys use a business mentor/marketing mentor ? If so what benefit have you gained? Has it speed up your marketing process/ start-up process?

Who do you use by the way? At what cost? (if that's ok to ask?)

Was just wondering as we thought apart from posting in forums, would also be very helpful to have someone on board even if it's just an email away to ask for support or just to go over some marketing or any ideas we may have.

How do you guys deal with your marketing ideas, PR etc...do you employ others to do it for you?

Thank you all.

regards

Jen,

The topic has cropped up a few times in the last several months. Perform a search on the word mentor and you may find some useful advice.

Steve - thank you I didn't know you could do a search - yes you could pick up loads of previous posting.

Hi Jen
Bear in mind I had to wait four months after I applied to get a mentor. I emailed him this morning but no word back yet.

Hi Caroline,

I see. Never mind we'll just wait and see. Thanks.

We've sent you a private mail (actually was sent a while so just check your PM box and see if it did arrive). It's completely on a separate matter.

Send us a PM back and we'll discuss any questions.

Regards,
