The next Fishbowl will be hosted by Ryan Alexander, Founder of igotaguy.com.  The concept is based on the age-old expression “I got a guy…” used to make a recommendation whenever someone is needed. Igotaguy.com aims to be the most recognizable brand of online local business advertising. The site provides profile info/photos, recommendations, and hyper-local results which build consumer confidence.

Ryan is a very energetic individual with a background in sales/marketing and customer service.  Igotaguy.com has a pretty straight forward business model and a solid concept. He’s put together a rock star team that has built a winning website that continues to create BUZZ across the country because of the name alone.  Like most marketplaces online, igotaguy.com is struck with a similar chicken vs. egg problem.  Ryan needs to tap the community to discuss marketing his particular product/service locally and discuss the growth strategy he’s employing.

If you’re a resourceful serial entrepreneur or a social marketing guru, this is your time to shine.  Come and contribute to you community and show your brilliance at this Fishbowl.

FISHBOWL: What is this all about?

Fishbowls are workshops for business owners to call upon their entrepreneurial peers in the Philadelphia community to work out a problem or situation with their business.  The focus can range from improving business practices, to marketing, strategy, or kick around a legitimate and innovative idea.  The goal is to facilitate a round table discussion and produce results that make a difference.

Fishbowl hosts have the floor to themselves with limited moderation from the Fishbowl rep’, just to keep things orderly.  The fishbowl is all about you and your business.  The fishbowl is not about getting a cheering section or a pat on the back.  Fishbowls gather the brightest local minds to cultivate and propel you ahead.

Fishbowls take place every other month on the third Wednesday of the month. The location is subject to change, so check back for confirmation.
