Doing Business when climbing up the Spiral

2 posts in this topic

Currently I have an Internet Marketing Business where I help others to generate Leads and gain clients. 

I'm 21. When I started out my main goal was to get rich in money - like most young men in my age. So I started offering my services to realtors and financial advisors because I thought that's the easiest money to make. 

Now I have the problem that their values and mine are not aligned at all. All they care about is how many leads, at what price and what their profit margin can be. While those are good points, to me a business relation means more than just pure numbers and should not only be on those. 

So I want to help a different target group that is not only in the game for the sake of money but to impact the world to the better. I feel like I am somewhat between Green and Yellow. The realtors and financial advisors are mostly pure Orange. So that doesn't match at all.

Now I'm looking for a target group that is in a similar stage like mine which I think will also make me happier going into a sales meeting. 

Do you have any advice for me which market, industry, niche, service provider are more open minded and ideal for Internet Marketing Services? 

 

Many thanks in advance!

You would likely be going into business by yourself and not with a bunch of other people if you are deciding to make your business much above orange. Yes, you could find clients that are looking for that type of service, but you're going to lose a lot of clients if you pick solely on what stage you base that industry in depending on where you are finding clients.  You will also be moving into a smaller market, but that is not a bad thing. Most of the biggest successes are going to be found in niches and not the mainstream. 

There are some products that are starting to move away from orange. Alternatives like green energy, plant based products, various education, charities, etc. But even a lot of that stuff is going to be riddled with corruption and greed. You can look at a company like apple that has arguably changed the world dramatically, but their factories where iphones are produced have nets installed around them to catch employees who jump off to try to kill themselves. Mostly it is going to come down to your values though.
