Leave a note about what your business is and then talk about the most important things you do on a daily basis that burn through your time and money.

      I'm starting a software development project, and this seems like an appropriate place to connect with people who need good software.

      Also, I'm not selling anything.

      My business is not well served by data base software for either individuals, or larger businesses. So, the question is: What kind of people do you want to connect with? I'm not buying anything. You can find me in the directory under shower stalls.

      To answer your question, I'd like to connect with contractors and business owners who can help me understand their problems in the rennovation market. By studying and solving a specific and important problem, I believe a profitable business can be built to the benefit of myself and others.

      Hint: I'm working on Sunday. You are not offering to increase my prices, you are offering to cut my expenses. How much efficiency can you squeeze to make money for yourself and me? So far, I haven't met any software developer who agrees with you, after they run the numbers, but try me. I am in my shop now.

      I am sorry to have missed the chance to talk today. I will call tomorrow. You are right that I am not offering to increase your prices. I would be interested in cutting your expenses, but perhaps you are right that it would not be worthwhile for either of us. Maybe your expenses or losses are already quite low, but you could use a more effective way to generate income. That said, I could not possibly have a good solution until I know an important problem, which is exactly what I am looking for.

    I don't have a business but have relevant knowledge that can be of assistance. To have a successful business you need to have a solid foundation = staff...if your planning to go into renovation you need to have the best employees. The renovation market is competivive...you need to be aware of your competition and what is currently happening. A profitable business requires hardwork and effort.
