How do you market a consulting business?

[HelloBen]

I have a good sized marketing budget, I have the necessary experience/expertise, an I am starting a consulting business. I have everything except the marketing part figured out.

Primary Goal- Help American companies to outsource selected product/operation or IT services to China in order to significantly reduce cost. For example, it is true that you can find a supplier on Alibaba or tradekey, but despite their best efforts, you will sometimes end up with less than satisfactory results due to mis-communication, cultural differences and sometimes pure fraud. And if there is a major problem, realistcally, there is very little you can do about it. We basically eliminate all that, we will locate/verify the supplier, relay the order correctly, inspect before shipping and handle custom clearances.
​

This works for entreprenuers who are interested in starting a new product line too. If you can give all the essenital information for your product, we can locate someone to do it in China in 2 days. (95% of the time)

My Expertise- I used to work for a regional company developing their China market. I have been to China many times and traveled extensively there for business. I am also Chinese-American and speak fluent Mandarin.
​

So far,its a 3 person business, I have 2 good partners on the ground in China. I plan to do this nice and slow, I am not in any rush.

So what are some of the ways that I can market my business. I live in a mid-sized city in the U.S.

Obstacles-
I am terrible on the phone. I am not sure why but I stutter and even confuse myself sometimes on the phone, so I guess cold-calling is out of the question. I am totally fine when I am not on the phone.



Any Other Marketing Ideas would be greatly apperciated. Like I said, I do have some limited funds reserved for a marketing campaign.
