Biz Dev Idea..

Why not partner with a recruiter who specializes in senior IT placement — for instance CIO’s? Work out a partnership with them where they get to provide their clients (the companies looking for a new CIO for example) a high level (and most importantly objective) assessment and map of their communications network (security, wireless, switching, routing, IPT, etc.) provided by your company. This way, when the new CIO arrives for his first day on the job, he has a concise, unbiased report sitting on his or her desk compliments of your company. This could be a great way for the recruiter to differentiate themselves (in a cutt-throat market), and for you to get quick PS business and build a lead gen engine where you have the inside track. Again, am I naive, or is there something to this? I’d like to hear from you if you have an opinion..

Thanks!
