Your startup or small business probably doesn’t need (or have the budget for) specialists for every little piece of your technology stack.
What you probably do need is a tech “Jack of all trades” who’s agile enough to do things like…
- Build a responsive website this week,
- Implement a SaaS helpdesk next week,
- Set up a professional phone system the week after that…
…and maybe help your other team members with general IT support along the way.
Someone who can write great customer-facing copy, craft a sales email here and there, or even design a complete marketing funnel.
They should be capable of finding and interfacing with good outsourced talent when needed, so your larger projects don’t distract your leadership with endless emails, half-baked demos, and premature tests.
They should understand business and have the mindset of an owner. They should be a self-starter and a self-manager…
…and a team player who will attend meetings, analyze needs, and help strategize.
Most of all, they should take the lead in implementing technology that fits your company’s needs, rather than trying to change your business plan to fit the tech.
If your startup or small business needs that kind of person, then I could be your guy.
