The problem it solves
Many entrepreneurs lack the negotiation skills necessary to secure favorable deals and build long-term relationships. Existing negotiation training often focuses on theoretical concepts rather than practical, real-world applications tailored to the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs.
How it makes money
Subscription-based model for access to courses, workshops, and personalized coaching.
Skills you need
Curriculum development, instructional design, digital marketing, and business coaching.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has increased the demand for effective negotiation skills among entrepreneurs who must navigate virtual deals. A viable first-revenue move is to partner with local chambers of commerce to offer workshops and webinars, leveraging their networks to attract members interested in improving their negotiation abilities. A potential risk is the initial capital required for developing high-quality content and marketing, which may extend the time before achieving profitability.
