What do Video Games, Satellites, Building Materials, Mortgages, and Jewelry Stores have in common?

They are all topics that Maven’s Clients have recently asked about. A few weeks ago we gave you some examples of recent Maven Client searches. Continuing with that theme, below are a few more great examples of recent Consultations. As you can see, we get requests that are literally all over the map (and sometimes above it, as in the satellite case…):

• Video Games– Mavens who are familiar with the market for used (“pre-owned”?) video games are currently in high demand. Sound like you?
• Satellites– You know, those things that fly around in space and beam our voices and images to distant places. If you’ve ever been involved in building, launching, operating, or servicing communications satellites, somebody wants to talk to you.
• Building Materials– Are you a carpenter? Plumber? Roofer? GC? Hardware store owner? You probably never thought somebody would want to pay to talk to you on the phone about the materials you use or sell. You’d be wrong- people like this are earning consulting fees from Maven every day!
• Mortgages– Recently a whole bunch of mortgage underwriters and servicers got to help a Maven Client learn more about how the HAMP program works.
• Jewelry Stores– Gold, silver, platinum, precious stones… and Mavens! If you are familiar with how shiny things are marketed and sold at the retail level, you can earn some green.

Are you competent to discuss any of the above topics? If so, join Maven. If not, join Maven- we’re almost certain to have an inquiry that matches your expertise, either now or in the future!
