If you are seriously contemplating launching a telemarketing consultants business, it's a smart move to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?

But, a person who owns a telemarketing consultants business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Many experts advise against starting a telemarketing consultants business if you can buy an established operation. Yet the process of buying a telemarketing consultants business introduces a new set of challenges.

As you would expect, there are a number of steps in buying a business. For most prospective business buyers, the first step is to contact a business broker.

A good business broker serves a number of useful purposes. From locating available companies to helping seal the deal, your broker will have the experience and skills to help you successfully navigate the purchase process.

Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option

Young entrepreneurs are big on innovative marketing concepts, but fall short in the area of real world marketing experience.

Franchises offer a shortcut for achieving a robust market presence. A highly visible franchise gives startup owners the benefit of instant brand exposure, supported by regional or even national advertising campaigns.
