Comment on How do I find companies that want to outsource their jobs?

A few questions: where are you and where do you want your clients to be? What services do you offer, and how do they differ from competing outsourcing companies?

Does it matter that much?

Yes. For example there are many companies in India serving clients in the US. So you would need to know how you differentiate yourself from them. We work with a company who does graphic design, and their big value prop is their ability to snap to US business practices. So, they are more expensive that some, but they create an easy way to work with them. They also work 12 hours difference, which is handy. In contrast, I have worked with people in Columbia, who are roughly in the same time zone. Their big value is price.

Ah ok. Thanks for explaining. The guy I talked to was talking about his country and my country. He is buying software developer labor from Philippines. Compared to Philippines, workers in my country are more educated. Culture is more similar. Timezone difference is a few hours instead of half a day. But manhours cost $20/hr instead of $8/hr according to what he said.
I don’t feel confident in my understanding of what exactly businesses need and what exactly workers offer them and how exactly I should act as a “matchmaker”. Would you be down to help me figure this out by any chance? :D
Extra info in case it matters:
I can physically be in any EU country to do this, and I can stay as long as needed. Being in the US would be difficult but I can definitely incorporate there. I worked as a graphic designer, developer, SE marketer for my own projects a long time ago. I don’t know how up to date I should be. I’m not sure what services I should offer. Do you have any advice?
