looking for a 'new business' person

[logoman]

A colleage and I are trying to start up a business in branding. We've both freelanced for a good length of time and need to do our own thing now.
we need to find someone to help us bring the work in. Our combined portfolio is pretty good, it wouldn't be a difficult sell from that point of view.
I need some advice on where find someone who'd be interested in becoming a partner and who can sell our services.
We haven't advertised yet, i'm not sure that's the best way of finding someone. Do people use facebook for this kind of thing?

I think http://www.linkedin.com/ is a better tool for business/professional networking, Ive used it quite sucessfully myself in the past.

good luck !

cheers bogie.
I used linkedin a few years back, then tried to get myself off the system - next to impossible - once you're on, you're on, doesn't matter if you die, you'll still be invited be friends with people you dont know ....so i may as well use it again.
