Ask HN: interview with a "deal of the day" company

Posted by mindball on Friday April 29, 2011 @12:24AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am a new university business grad interviewing for an account manager position in one of the bigger deal of the day sites. I have two years experience as an account manager during my university career with a small internet based web development company.

That seems fair. If you are looking to go ahead with the sale feel free to send me an email (fraser at username dot com). I have brokered a few deals for companies making 100k+/year.

Re:Ask HN: Review my startup, Localo.com on Tuesday April 26, 2011 @08:59PM (#2487946)

I think you should be looking at the large picture here. Yes the local market makes sense to start but the idea is to scale the business up to take a % of a billion dollar industry not a cottage industry with say $100 mill total market.

Re:Ask HN: Review my startup, Localo.com on Tuesday April 26, 2011 @07:59PM (#2487783)

I like the idea. I was confused when I searched Toronto and the top result had a price but the rest didn't.

My question is how scalable is this? Is the idea to eventually integrate hotel listings?
