Marketing / Advertising / PR jobs in Vancouver, BC

Business partner wanted - I'm a mover, need a shaker! (Vancouver)

Posted: 13 Oct 2009 11:14 PM PDT

I am starting a business in Vancouver helping business owners rent out their under-utilized meeting room space. I am ready to launch, but need a business partner to handle MARKETING AND SALES - acquiring rooms and marketing to potential renters. There is NO INVESTMENT needed, but all pay would initially be commission - splitting profits 50/50 until we are both making a decent salary. Overhead is minimal and growth is expected to be quick, since meeting space is in short supply coming up to the Olympics and many business owners will be happy to have an easy source of revenue in the current economy. This service is automated, and has a huge potential for growth (it's a first of its kind business model). Check out www.roomlinks.ca to learn more about the business.

I'm looking for a partner who can offer their time, expertise, and perhaps some fresh perspective and a dose of business savvy. If you have worked in a corporate setting and are a keen marketer looking to grow your own business instead of someone else's, but don't have the capital, or the desire to tackle the grunt work and technical aspects of a starting your own business, then this will be right up your alley. Initially the position would be fully hands-on, but as the business grows it would likely move to more of a managerial role.

I have very high standards for someone I would want to partner with and hope you do too. I have a strong sense of fairness and ethics and am always going to do things above board. I also believe strongly in good communication and am quick to get problems out in the open. The most important quality I'm looking for is that you be a warm and "real" person. I'm looking for a people person first, and a business person second. If my concept works in Vancouver I would be looking at expanding across Canada and, eventually, internationally as well.

It would be great to hear from anyone who is excited by this business concept. Please reply with a bit about your background/experience and why you think you would be a good candidate for this position.
