People have many problems and they need to get them solved, in time, economically and reliably. Reasons for not able to solve their problems themselves are, lack of knowledge, skill, time, physical ability, lack of logical faculty etc. And also understand that there are many with problems and only few giving solutions. So, in our huge population, there is good scope for trouble shooter or solution provider, as helping hand.
Problems people face are mainly in the following categories:
A. Personal and relationship
B. Technical
C. Financial / investment related
D. Health related
E. Job or business related
A. You can not do much about personal and relationship problem, as those who have those problems, will not want some out sider to solve them. So, leave this category. It is better handled by qualified councelors and legal personnel.
B. Technical problems at household are many and every house needs solutions for them. Technical problems are of TV, Air conditioner, mixer, owen, refrigerator, plumbing related, electrical, carpentry related, leakages, sewrage related, furniture related and so on. What you need to do is take up any of these activity if you are technically equipped or learn the trade you are interested.
Another option is connect the technical person with the needy house hold person and charge fees for providing the service. In this case making a database of all such technical support petsons, forms will be handy. In addition having good promotional and communication skills will be required. Concentrate in your PIN CODE or Taluka area and become Solution Provider for many in your area. People giving good technical service and in time, are in shortage. So,make a team or group of such technical persons and serve hundreds of customers daily.
C. Financial / investment related support can be given by connecting to banks, financial consultants, Chartered Accountants, Insurance/Investment advisors. Need to learn few concepts to communicate effectively in this.
D. For giving health related support you need to keep in touch with local doctors, hospitals, pathology laboratories, chemist shops, Ayurvedic or Panch Karma centres, Gyms, physiotherapy centers etc.
E. People seeking jobs and businesses needing people to work ss employees, are already in your contact, if you have taken up one or more of the above services! So, connect the dots in the database.
Contacts Database, appropriately prepared and stored systematically is an asset in today's world. Start preparing your own Excel sheet by storing contacts in proper columns like person name, location, services/products, mobile number, email id, etc.
Understand the idea behind these suggestions. The prime motive here has to be prompt service to needy people from related experts, but THROUGH YOU. So, you have to understand both sides. Remember, that all trades, professions and businesses need more sale, more customers. And, all consumers and needy people require service.
