Am I being overly optimistic?
Alright Brahs, I have give or take 278 names and phone numbers of realtors and other people in the land business operating in my small town. I'm going to call as many of them tomorrow as it takes to make a sale. I am going to make a $500 sale tomorrow.
I am going to call people in this niche until I run out of names; I'm certain I'm going to make a sale before I run out of this first list. Once I make that sale, I'll pay my brother to create these lists while I work on the sites in the evening. Wake up the next morning, call til I make a sale, pay bro to make more lists, work on site in the evening, rinse and repeat.
1 sale per day for 240 days (that's how many business days there are in a year if you take 4 weeks off)...
240x$500=$120,000
Let's say I make 3 sales a week... that's a little more realistic. 48 weeks x 3 sales = 144
144x$500=$72,000
Alright... maybe even 3 sales is pushing it. If I call people everyday, I can surely at least make 2 sales a week, right? 48 x 2 = 96
96x$500=$48,000
Plus include $20 for hosting each month per client. Worst case scenario, at the end of the year I'm making 96 clients x $20 x 1 month = $1920
$1920 x 12 months = $23,040
Worst case scenario: $48,000 per year sales + $23,040 per year hosting = $71,040
Damn... that's my goal. I just want 2 clients a week. Aside from maybe being a little optimistic suggesting I'll hit 2 clients per week for 48 weeks, can you see anything wrong here?
What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
