• Advertising in other venues.
  
  

What current team members are proposing….

• Periodic team conference calls and/or meetings to exchange leads & jointly pursue opportunities.
  
  
• Joint (lower cost) participation in key conferences.
  
  
• Joint launch of demand generation activities (like all teammates sending emails to their client mailing lists pointing sales prospects to the team’s press release and Web Page).
  
  
• Once a “critical mass” of smaller teaming firms is established, the team will approach much larger (Fortune 50 - 500) firms our team knows to create an even more powerful, turnkey team.

• Ideally want recognized or “brand name” firms on team.
