Hi Don! Could you tell us when you'll be gettin' back to everyone who requested your info? Lookin' forward to it! Bill

> Hello! For the past 35 yrs I've been
> supporting myself and my family (with a VERY
> confortable lifestyle) on MY WITS and
> Creative Imagination and Courage to TAKE THE
> FIRST STEPS to TRY an idea for a

> Fortunately, there have been very few
> failures. However, some have not been as
> successful or profit producing as I thought
> they'd be when I started them.

> I truly enjoy TRYING NEW IDEAS! It gets my

> do the research, create the program, put
> together the paperwork and go out and HIT
> THE MARKET...like a fullback hitting the
> line.

> I recently put together an Advertising
> program involving placing Ads on Restaurant
> Daily Special Boards.

> And, because I was talking to local
> merchants...I usually try and "pick
> their brains" to find out "what
> problems they are having".

> MOST of these people WANT Ad Programs that
> will bring NEW Customers thru their doors;
> That's why they pay me for space on my Ad
> Projects.

> And...because I had been aware, since July
> of '01, of a new program called
> "Permission email
> Marketing"...which involves getting
> EXISTING customers to become more frequent
> buyers...I decided to give my best sales
> gals a swing at this program.

> These gals are DYNOMITE! They sell Radio
> Advertising for their "base
> income" and sell MY Programs when I
> have something for them.
> (I know, I know...my constant-detractors

> Radio Station selling Radio Ads and ALSO
> sell for someone else, "on the
> side""! Well "I
> DO"!...and I have for 30 yrs and NOT
> had a problemo in 30yrs!)

> I recently "unleashed" them into
> an "Email Marketing Club" program
> with a shopping Mall. They got the accounts,
> THEN...it was up to ME and my
> "back-up" staff to do the
> "follow-thru".

> Well...let me tell ya...it was a BEAR!

> Collecting emails...sending emails to these
> people and sending MORE emails according to
> the "wishes or non-wishes" of the
> clients.

> Even though I had someone to do the sending
> and follow-up...it was a PURE HASSLE!

> So, I turned it over to the person who I was
> paying to do the follow-up.

> This "Email Marketing Club"
> thingee reminded me of the days when I was
> doing "Direct Mail Coupons".

> I'd bust my fisterous selling merchants on
> paying me to have me send their coupons
> (along with 25 or 30 other merchant's
> coupons)...THEN...I'd have to PRINT the
> Coupons...PRINT the envelopes...BUY the
> Mailing List...LABEL the envelopes
> (Labor)...STUFF the coupons into the
> envelopes (more LABOR)...PREPARE the mailing
> for the PostOffice (MORE LABOR)....PAY for
> the Postage and HOPE the participants got a
> response so they would go again.

> HOGWASH!

> The same with the Email Marketing thingee.

> Sure...I'm positive, thatthere are some
> folks who enjoy doing a LOT OF WORK to
> follow-up and try to appease each client
> BUT...with many of these types of clients
> (small business people)...if you DON'T flood
> their doors with new customers...THEY AIN'T
> GONNA KEEP PAYING YOU!

> SO....after giving this a STRONG, College
> try...I turned it over to the person who was
> doing the work...and I sat down and looked
> at what it was that I would REALLY like to
> do...at my stage in life;

> I REALLY would like to have a biz where I
> could sell clients, PREFERABLY...without
> having to see them in person THEN...have
> very little to do with the
> "Follow-Up"! AND....get them to
> re-pay, either monthly or yearly for my
> "program".

> Well...after much investigating...I think
> I've found the PERFECT program for ME;

> HERE'S HOW MY MIND WORKS;
> I knew that it was TOUGH trying to get small
> businesses to part with their bux so I
> thought, WHICH businesses are selling HIGH
> TICKET items?

> I asked myself; WHO is selling HIGH TICKET
> items AND...WHAT would they WANT?

> Well...from my vast experiences in the
> trenches I remembered that the ONE THING
> these businesses WANTED was....QUALIFIED
> LEADS!

> So...I began researching what was available
> and who had a "Lead Program" for
> these types of biz...that was working!

> Fortunately...in the year 2002...we have
> this thingee called "The
> Internet". WOW! Did I find the stuff.

> I found companies making $500,000 a MONTH
> supplying these biz with
> "Qualified" Leads. I found one guy
> who is a "One-Man Show" (he
> doesn't even have someone answer his phone)
> who has over 300 businesses paying him a
> MINIMUM of $600 a month...$18,000 A
> MONTH...and his "Lead Generating
> System" does all the work for him,
> automatically.

> Once he gets an account...he
> "plugs" them into his system and
> he doesn't have to do another thing except
> send them a bill at the end of the month.
> His "System" does everything for
> him and all he has to do is...keep getting
> new accounts.

> WOW! THAT IS FOR ME!

> And...after doing more research I found only
> a handful of businesses trying to cover this
> vast NICHE MARKET....which means there's
> room for ME and a few others to jump in and
> pick up the gold nuggets lying on the floor.

> So...I think I've found the
> "perfect" biz (for ME anyway) A
> Biz where I can get clients REMOTELY via
> phone and fax. A Biz where clients HAVE
> MONEY and ARE WILLING TO SPEND IT...to the
> tune of $500 and up a month for my
> "service". (Just 20 of these
> clients can bring in $10,000 Monthly)

> PLUS...the "system" automatically
> does all the "work" for me.

> UTOPIA!

> So...I hope I've been able to "let you
> see into the mind of a
> "entroopeneer"! I look for
> "WANTS"!

> What do people WANT? AND...are they willing

> And...does the fulfillment involve lots of

> Thanks for reading....if you'd like to know
