I was forwarded a link to a really interesting presentation on small business trends called The New Entrepreneur. It is from Grasshopper, a company that provides virtual phone systems for small businesses. They worked with the market research firm Trends Spotting to develop this very professional and visually appealing presentation.
The New Entrepreneur covers a number of trends and includes information from a mix of sources such as the Kauffman Foundation, IDC, GEM and others - including several references to studies done by us.
So while I'm a bit biased, I think the presentation is quite well done. It was posted yesterday on Slide Share and already has close to 2000 views, so many others agree it well worth taking a look at.
Thanks for the post. Good stuff! Has anyone ever tried outsourced business development? We have been using http://www.dnavertical.com for our needs…they pretty much do it all or point us in the right direction to help grow our business. They have a lot of references and recommendations.
