The value of hiring an advisor.
Working with a qualified go-to-market advisor will lower upfront costs and the risk of failure. The reasons for this are less need for recruiting agencies and less need for office space and traveling. A Go-to-market advisor brings a conceptional framework and a local network of service providers, so he can quickly scale operations. Working with a qualified Go-to-market advisor makes things easy without the need for compromising on your business ambitions. You can test things without the effort of hiring staff and signing long term contracts right from the start. If the initial concept fails, you can fine-tune or even abandon the operation.
