Studying the Market
Once you've finished assessing the competion, it's a wise move to speak with somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
On the other hand, an individual who has a child support collection and enforcement business on the other side of the country will be much more likely to talk with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
Where does one find an owner of a child support collection and enforcement business in a different locale who can assist you?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
