The Problem
First, let me explain why I created the Chanimal Micro Consulting Service. Many start-ups don’t have the money to hire a world-class marketer—yet this is when they often need the most help and advice.
Many existing companies need to move to the next level but don’t know-how. Divisions of large companies want to try new initiatives (like setting up a channel, trying new promotions, or penetrating a new market), but they can’t get the headcount.
Or, a person is promoted into marketing, or responsible to build their new channel, but doesn’t have a marketing or channel background—and needs immediate channel consulting help to succeed.
Alternatives – Channel Consulting
You could hire one of the big consulting firms like Bain & Company or Accenture, but you pay outrageous rates (much of it paying for executive overhead) and usually get a bright, but relatively inexperienced “junior consultant,” who hasn’t done channel consulting or been in the trenches and is cutting their teeth at your expense.
Or you get great advice, but they don’t know how to help you execute, or can execute for you—at a massive, non-competitive cost (usually by outsourcing with a hefty markup). I’ve “unwound” several major mistakes (such as ineffective packaging, bad pricing advice, and poorly executed promotions) from these types of consultants.
Or, you can hire the typical independent channel consultant that only picks up 1-2 accounts, charges $10-15k per month, but many of these have only been at mid-level management, seldom having gone through all the ranks from hands-on producer to senior vice president of multi-billion dollar organizations.
Or you get someone who is too high-level and hasn’t executed much of anything—at a start-up or a new division. They may know what needs to be done, but don’t how to do it—certainly not with enough detail to coach or mentor your team.
The BIG Question
How do you get the type of help you need, either strategic or tactical, at an affordable price?

Credibility – Channel Consulting
As the lead channel consultant, I’ve helped build several start-ups with their channel strategy and channel program, including one that grew from 13 people to become largest high-tech product launch company in the world with over 4,000 people, executing the channel launch of over 400 world-class products for over 150 companies including:
15 divisions of Microsoft, IBM, Sony, NEC, PC Tools, Iomega, Western Digital, Autodesk, Adobe, HP, Creative Labs, Citrix, WordPerfect, Novel, AOL, Ashton Tate, Corel, Goldmine, Disney, Ingram Micro, Canon, Epson, Intel and many more.
I also wrote the strategic marketing plan and lead the marketing team that published the world’s #1 best-selling software product at the time—Netscape Navigator, which was a catalyst that launched the .com era.
I also helped form Red Storm Entertainment with Tom Clancy, have been a VP or Senior VP of Marketing at $4 billion Harcourt, $38 billion Motorola (where I sat on the marketing board), and $130 billion GE—one of the largest corporations in the world.
In addition, I also run the world’s first and best-selling Certified Channel Manager ™ training program.
