Requesting your help to develop a business idea

Question

Hello expats of Brussels,

I know that the city hosts a lot of former diplomats and also family members who have followed their partners who work in the international or European sector.

You speak languages and you have a lot of free time.

For developing my business idea, I will need people who can contact EU and international tour operators and destination management agencies via the telephone.

I will give 50% of every deal generated, but unfortunately I do not have anything to invest upfront.

About the business - it is a very niche photography service. I know it works because 3 major international destination management agencies bought it on 3 occasions. Now I need help to develop it further.

If you want to find more, please call me in the morning on weekdays without Friday +44 (0) 20 8144 3026

So what you're asking is people who don't know you or have any interest in your company to work for you for free in the vague hope you can persuade people to spend money taking photographs of what exactly?
Are you seriously thinking anyone will reply to this.
When you have a company and some cash and can offer people jobs maybe they will be interested.
Also what makes you think trailing spouses don't already have enough to do with out work for free?

So you flip burgers at peak periods in London (feh - you wish) and run a part-time scam when you can't bring in a minimum wage.

Hey guys,

I do not have a company, I have an idea. I am addressing people who had a fulfilling carrier or have a comfortable financial situation and free time and are willing to help others.

Maybe 40 years ago they were like me and someone helped them.

I am not asking for money. Just few hours of telephone calling.

In addition I will give 50% of every deal generated.

The reason I am addressing this forum is because I know a lot of languages are spoken here and people have international experience.

The service I am offering is a tangible one and costs between £40 and £3-400, so do not worry about the scam

So Simon with respect why would perfect strangers use their time and their contacts to help you when you're very vague and if you were saying who can I talk to one thing, but your asking a service that you'd pay a huge amount for. As Alan sugar once said he did business in China and the east when he started out. He doesn't speak Chinese but when one has a good idea and passion one can make ones self understood. Stop asking others to do your work for you and get out there if it's do wonderful people will be flocking

Also £40 if you charge that and paid someone half it's not worth your time.

Simon, can't help, but I'm sorry for the negative replies you've got here. You perhaps need to better describe the business opportunity, and give more information.
