1 points by MaxZuckerman 4672 days ago
Who am I: -Computer Engineering undergrad, Stanford MBA -Tech sales at Microsoft New England dealing with executive decision makers at Fortune 100 companies -Led mid-market and consumer sales/marketing at a San Francisco startup with only one customer when I joined (customers now include some of the biggest names in the media industry like FOX, WSJ, and AOL) -Currently an executive search consultant in the tech industry

Who is this for: Are you trying to sell your startup's product or service on a web site? Then this is for you. All too often, I see great ideas that get a decent amount of web traffic but no actual conversion to sales. In my experience, a few minor changes to the web site could yield huge results.<p>What am I offering: It's simple: I will evaluate your web site from and give you suggestions to improve sales or click-through conversion.

Why am I doing this: I'm all about the startup community and like to help when I have time, so I'm offering to help you optimize your web site for sales conversion (or whatever your ultimate goal may be).

I posted 9 months ago a similar offer for overall sales strategy and had a ton of interest, so I figured I'd give it another shot: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4840847

Note: Given the amount of requests I had last time, I'm going to charge a nominal consultation fee this time. It confirms a) you're serious about what you're doing and b) you value my advice. Again, considering how much people appreciated this last time, I'm willing to forego payment until after you hear my suggestions. Don't think it was worth it? Don't pay.
