Question for some Offline WF Oldtimers.

Thank you, thank you.


Those are what I was looking for

Hell yes it is still relevant. 11 years ago John Spangler, out of sheer need, started talking to LOCAL BUSINESSES about helping them...

GET MORE CUSTOMERS...

via...a web site, maximized and kept up to date.

But he did have to ACTUALLY talk to people, that most terrifying of all events to many Warriors. He called, made an appointment...at first just to do a simple survey.

Then he would MEET the business owner, OMG, he did FACE-TO-FACE (HOW brave he must have been).

What John Spangler did 11 years ago, and shared his success a few years later, and God bless guys like him and Savidge4 who did a similar thing recently with the eBay thread in Warrior Path section...

These guys give a detailed explanation, a guide to HOW TO do it.

And today, April 2019. There are still people who are going OUT THERE, talking to people, making sales in the real (what we call the OFF LINE) world with an evergreen market of ready buyers with money to spend.

Help small businesses get more customers. Keep the ones they have. Increase profits or reduce costs...

And you too could write one of those helpful threads.

Thanks to Frank Donovan for finding this gem buried deep in the WF "glory days".

PS Sure, most WF members want to do IM in their jammies from their computers, but when it gets desperate, like some of the longest threads here discuss...nothing beats a little OUTSIDE action and talking and HELPING people out. Note John Spangler never once got bitten, shot or stabbed for his bravery of "talking to people" (sarcasm intended).

A bit unfair... To be honest there is NOTHING non salesy about what I do... It is a VERY calculated process.. and to be honest not sure I would suggest this to a newbie.. because it is a PROCESS. Keep in mind in MY process I get interviews and then create a sale in the same vertical so I have a subject for the white paper.

what is it we sell? I sell SOLUTIONS... how do you understand solutions if you dont know the problem? Part of my PROCESS is getting first hand knowledge of issues and pain points. At this point I am not selling, I am educating myself to a specific niche or industry or whatever. More specifically at a localized level. Pains in Texas may not be the same as in Washington State or West Virginia for that matter, and it could be a whole other kind of Pain in Australia or Germany.

So I have a 3 step process.. I have the education phase, I then sell based on that education to a client, and extract that experience and knowledge into a white paper. I then deliver the white paper to the people that educated me, and that turns into a direct response sales piece. Is that really for a beginner? not really - they should stick to cold calling and cold walk ins!
