While the general topic of this interview was meant to be “how to find solid outsourcing partners”, Chris and I ended up talking about so many different pieces of agency life.

Chris explains how he’s grown his business so far, taking it from a one man band to working with outsourcing partners and finally hiring his first two full time staff.

We discuss:

• Using government grants as a marketing channel
• Finding the right people to work with
• Finding partners that refer you business
• How to hire people (or find partners) without getting burned
