A Million Little Salesmen for Your Offline Services
I'm going to out one of my personal methods for generating new offline clients. This method is wide open and everyone running an offline business can take advantage of it.
I call the method "A Million Little Salesmen." The reason I call it that is, across the United States there are millions of little kids that get in front of Business Owners one time a year.
Are you ready for this?: Sports Team Fund Raising
"According to the Center for Kids First in Sports, the number of kids playing organized sports in America averages between 30 and 40 million a year."
Kids who play Softball, Baseball, Football, Soccer, and a few other recreational sports on a team in or out of school are "semi-required/pressured" to do fund raising for their individual teams.
The teams need money for Jerseys, Equipment, Travel Expenses, Trophies, etc so they recruit the kids to go out and raise the money in various ways.
This idea came to me one day when I heard of a friends child asking their parent to take them to businesses around town so they could ask for a donation from the business owner. I was amazed to learn that due to a kid's natural charm they nearly always met the owner and most of the time got a donation. That's when the idea clicked for me!
Approach the managers of the teams, and have them get the kids to hand my offer directly to the business owner whether or not a donation was made to the team.
If the owner became a client, the team would get X% of the amount the new client was billed for upon first transaction.
The kid is already in front of the business owner, so there is no extra work involved for them other than handing a postcard sized offer with a coupon to the owner and telling them of the opportunity.
Have the kid hand them a 3x5ish postcard with your offer on it, and watch the local clients start calling you.
I'd recommend you offer a Free Website Consultation, and Online Advertising Analysis to the company, and have them call the number on the postcard to take advantage.
This idea is infinitely scaleable - imagine how many teams there are in the United States.
This works well for me on my local market, and has consistently brought business in. I know it can for you too!
