Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, an entrepreneur who owns a recruitment and staffing services business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
Where can an aspiring entrepreneur like you find a recruitment and staffing services business owner who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?

Consider Franchising
