What’s your business model?

[from Flickr]

The other day, someone asked Chris, “So, what’s your business model?” Chris looked at him in disbelief and answered, “It’s this strange fangled new thing called consulting. You see, people hire us to spend time on their marketing and product design and then we bill them and they pay us.”

Crazy. The valley is b0rked.

    Yes, I’ve had two people ask me the same question about the company.

    Odd. Maybe consultancies are just too 1.0?

    Yes, I think consulting is too akin to ‘profiteering’ in the 2.0 yoof’s idealology.

    I think you need an ‘unique selling point’ product that is loosing $1,000,000 a week to have a 2.0 business model ;)

    Cynical…moi ???
