Discover The Biggest Key To Getting Hired At $2,500, $5,000, $10,000 Or More...

Thanks Andrew, looking forward to a good read!

Update:

Excellent read, and excellent info.

Its right up my own alley as I have been thinking in terms of doing bigger deals. I especially like the part about focusing on the "kinds of businesses" that can benefit most.

A liquidation company can make 100k on one single deal. It only takes a website bringing in one deal per year to profit them massively.

My friend ran a manufacturing company for years...one deal to him was more like a million dollars per year.

When I think of big deals I dont think of attorneys... I think of manufacturing companies and large wholesale distributors...and things of that nature, where a single sale can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Synchronicity is interesting because you show up- with this , right when my own thoughts are along those lines.

Thanks again, great read, and i hope these newbies show you the love you deserve here, some forget very quickly, and its easy to come back after awhile when you are a great pioneer who founded so much of what we do here, and people just dont realize it, but for those who do, we appreciate you very much, and this was an awesome read.

You can do telemarketing for these deals too BTW. Telemarketing isnt just for calling Joe's Barber Shop. lol

Great stuff.

-John

Ps. The way to have frustrated customers like nobody's business is to focus on businesses that only make $5.00 per sale. It will take you hundreds of leads per year to bring them profit, and in many cases it wont happen. Those are the kinds of businesses that you charge $500- $1000 for a design.

It's far better to focus on businesses that you can help profit with only 10 leads per year even (I know thats an extreme example). Thats much easier to deliver.

I have an attorney, for example who I have delivered around 20 -30 leads per year to, and that profits for him... its a realistic goal to bring that many leads with minimal effort...and even safe to promise... but focusing on businesses that take a gazzilion leads per year to profit is a recipe for constant cancellations, depending on what point you sold them on.

Its a good idea to focus on your customers average ticket at POS, and choose clients who have high ones.

Focusing on businesses who you can really bring alot of profit to, with minimal leads is an excellent discussion, because most readers arent going to produce hundreds of leads per month for their clients.

It certainly is an excellent discussion.

Also looking at ways you might be able to change the game for
businesses that have lower transaction values.

For example I used to think that restaurants had relatively low
transaction values until a client told me he was booking work
parties at several thousand dollars a booking.

That was a huge game changer...realizing that restaurants
could make serious money doing things like throwing work
parties and catering events.

Thank you for your excellent insights John.

Thank you both for your excellent stuff all the time.

Along the lines of surprising numbers, last summer we had a small
group stay at the hotel I manage. They were planning to come
again this summer and I guess we did well enough that they decided
book all 33 rooms for about a week this time.

I estimate that total revenues will be about $28,000. That's way
more than we do in a slow month, and about one and one half times
the best week I know of so far.

This was sort of random, and I am going after group business,
but it is food for thought and there has to be a systematic way to insure
more such bookings.

Group hotel bookings should be an avenue for offliners to pursue.

We already pay 10 to 25% comission to travel agents and the online
travel agencies (OTAs) such as hotels.com. (tip: always book lodging
directly with the establishment for the best rates, room/facility and area
information).

There are some incredibly valuable tips there if you're looking for high

Thanks for the report for the community here Andrew.

Warning - This post is a about my history and why I think you should take Andrews advice on board. Read at your own discretion

When Andrew talks I always listen......why? I started in this business well over 4 years ago. At that time I had lost a lot of money on a very bad property investment which almost put me under.

Starting this business saved me and for that I will be ever grateful to Andrew. Back in 2008 the whole 'offline gold' concept was started by Andrew and many marketers followed. At that time I was fairly successful in Internet Marketing through some niche membership websites that were making me a comfortable passive income. However, my real focus was on property investment where 1 extremely bad deal, where I had made a very large investment almost declared me bankrupt.

I needed quick money, I needed cash flow and I felt desperate. Banks had stopped lending as the recession started. I did not know where to turn. The passive income from my niche membership sites were not going to bring me in the large sums I needed to save myself from almost going under. I was in partnership in a group of restaurants but again they brought in an income but would not give me the immediate large sums of immediate cash flow I needed.

I then came across some of Andrews reports. I had knowledge of Internet Marketing as I had made good money from membership websites and Affiliate Marketing. I took his advice and moved on.

Andrew talks figures

Just like in this report that Andrew has linked to, when he talks figures they always make sense. When the figures are broken down they make even more sense. This was the biggest thing I learnt from Andrews reports, ie How to break down the figures to prove the value your services will bring to clients. It is the best thing you will learn and it will have the biggest impact on your conversion rates with prospects.

Within weeks of starting in this business I had secured a few clients that gave me some immediate cash flow. Within a few months I ran a seminar which brought me in £12k in a weekend. I'm sure I documented it here at the warrior forum at the time. This business saved me, Andrews reports and advice saved me. I have never looked back since.

In this report Andrew is talking about figures in the millions. Please do not let that scare you. A lot of warriors here might be used to the smaller clients like your local restaurants, salons or locksmiths etc. I would say these smaller clients are a great place to start to hone your skills and bring in quick cash flow whilst really helping these small local businesses.

These smaller clients bring you in good cash flow and you can build a good passive income by securing a good number of smaller clients. I started with smaller clients and moved on from there. When you are out in the field you learn on the job and opportunities always come your way. The transition to move onto bigger and bigger clients becomes easier and easier as you perfect your skills, build your team and set up your systems. Having systems in place to grow your business is paramount.

My business has moved on leaps and bounds but my starting point was all down to reading Andrews reports and advice. This whole 'Offline Gold' phenomena on the warrior forum was started by Andrew.

Good luck to everyone starting or growing in this business. It is not an easy ride like many may make you believe but once you have systems in place and follow sound advice from the experienced marketers like Andrew then you are starting in the right place.

Thank you so much for your post Riz.

It's not an easy ride. Like any business you can expect some tough times.

But the good news is you won't be losing your shirt in the process.

And if you're charging enough that you only need one client every couple
of months to make a good income then it's going to be a whole lot easier
to handle.

Kindest regards,
Andrew Cavanagh

I bet there was a pile of work between getting a few clients and making
12,000 pounds in a weekend.

It does give you an idea of what's possible in a relatively short time (a
few months) if you really give this everything you've got and don't
nickle and dime yourself to death.

When times get tough there are better purchasing opportunities
for business.

In other words vendors get so desperate to do business that they
often reduce prices or offer deals.

Also some businesses close their doors altogether which means
opportunities to buy stock and equipment at bargain basement
prices.

So the business that it's making good net profits when times are
tougher has a lot of great opportunities to capitalize on the fact
that they're cashed up when most other businesses are barely
scraping by or going into debt.

If you're the person helping a business charge premium prices
and make more sales then you're going to be worth a lot of
money to them.

Andrew Cavanagh
