Kevin Maher’s Summary

If there's anyway to help you out whether it via something I can provide for you or a service/product that is within my trusted network, please don't hesitate to ask. I have extensive experience in small business startups, finance, management, Sales & Marketing, Customer acquisition and retention, team building, and online media.

It's one thing to refer someone, but it's another thing when you put your trust and faith into someone (and not to mention YOUR reputation) when you give your trusted recommendation and it doesn't work out.

I'd like to build a network where everyone is recommended by a trust-worthy source and we don't have to worry about it not working out. It's kind of like another arm of your business and services you provide except no one has to change anything, you just keep doing what you are doing. Once that trust is built though, we can create an exclusive network of local products and services that we are already looking for but instead of looking them up on-line, in a phone book, or through 411, we have a directory of exactly who or what we are looking for and at the same time having the peace of mind knowing that it's from a trustworthy source..

If you know a trusted professional that has done a good job, at a fair price, then let's add them to our network and help them grow their business and at the same time we're providing each company/individual with a trust worthy "go to" source.

PS.
This is just the beginning, the network we can bring together has the potential to change the world for the better, and fairly quickly. I'll give more details about it when I finish my business plan. Just know this....
If you currently support a cause (anything from attending a black tie fundraiser every year to donating your loose change after leaving the grocery store), what ever cause it may be that you would like to help out will be available to do so in one central location, all working toward a common goal.

From The Economist print edition
Economist.com

ADVERTISING on mobile phones is a tiny business. Last year spending on mobile ads was $871m worldwide according to Informa Telecoms & Media, a research firm, compared with $24 billion spent on Internet advertising and $450 billion spent on all advertising. But marketing wizards are beginning to talk about it with the sort of hyperbole they normally reserve for products they are paid to sell. It is destined, some say, to supplant not only Internet advertising, the latest fad, but also television, radio, print and billboards, the four traditional pillars of the business.

At the moment, most mobile advertising takes the form of text messages. But telecoms firms are also beginning to deliver ads to handsets alongside video clips, web pages, and music and game downloads, through mobiles that are nifty enough to permit such things.

Informa forecasts that annual expenditure will reach $11.4 billion by 2011. Other analysts predict the market will be as big as $20 billion by then.
