That has put me on top of the world, not that I have made some money from him, but that I have helped a fellow human being be more successful, it's a great feeling.

Best of luck for the future Mellissa, and anyone else that goes into the offline niche.

Brittain,

That is fantastic news ... WOW 1st inquiry from CL. Now are you a believer? It's really simple to take action and be consistent! I know you will land that client.

Keep me posted!

Cheers,
Melissa

Bennette · 05-14-2009, 08:23 PM

Appreciate it Melissa. Where in the world is the thanks button?

CPAmum · 05-14-2009, 08:32 PM

Good for you Melissa!

I agree with others that this is a very inspirational thread. Thanks to all.

Melissa I am curious about one thing, when you first started handing out flyers, to whom did you give them. Small businesses, I assume. Did you just pick a business neighborhood and blanket it? Thanks again!

I just picked a local shopping center that had several restaurants and other small businesses and visited every single one of them. Make sure that you get their business card for follow up ... following up with them is critical.
Just like the money is in the list ... The money is also in the follow up.

A "no" today, is not a "no" forever!

I've also heard it said that "The FORTUNE is in the followup!"

Thanks, Melissa for sharing all you've shared. If you don't mind me picking your brain just a wee bit more,

1. In general, what was the core info on your flyer, and did it have your picture on it?
2. What did you say in the followup phone call?
3. Have you been able to finalize a deal over the phone or did you need to meet in person?

Thanks so much for mentoring us. I have David Preston's material but I need a better way to implement it than sending letters.

CPAmum · 05-15-2009, 12:08 PM

Inspired by Melissa, I just did a "pre-sales meeting" pitch as I was picking up plants for my garden. The store owner's definitely interested and wants me to call him to set up a meeting. Now, I need to figure out what to charge for a Website and all of the other stuff (opt-in, SEO, blog, etc.).

Input appreciated!

Thanks again, Melissa! Looking forward to learning more about how you did it.

Gosh, I love this site!

Bennette · 05-15-2009, 09:05 PM

@Melissa,

I just completed all the material and wanted to say thanks again for taking the time and sharing your success. I look forward to sharing my 1st sale as well. I'm working on getting everything together so I can start asap.

Happy selling.

This is really the most important thing.

If all you're doing is collecting money from business owners and not giving anything back then you're really just a shyster.

Fortunately the skills most internet marketers have are exceptionally valuable to small businesses and can help them make real money.

When you're helping businesses make real sales and profits it's not too difficult to get them to hire you over and over and to get them to give you referrals of business owners they know.

So being of genuine service to business owners...being a rainmaker to them...will also help you build a lucrative business of your own.

It pays never to get so caught up in your schemes to get new clients that you forget that the idea is to really help the businesses you're working with.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

Thanks for sharing your success Melissa, great going! I'm a Realtor too, and just as I was getting ready, my "puter" got infected

. Got it back yesterday and I will do my own version of offline gold making video slideshows for businesses.

Got a couple of questions if you don't mind:

The $650, is that a one-time set-up fee? Do you charge anything monthly and if so, how much? Again, congrats on your success, truly inspirational
