    Telemarketing Question

    Aggressive And Unsolicited "advice" from LIFELONG "Sidewalkian" drones!

    Fortunately most of the slowlaners aren't hard to predict and the market is made up of 99% consumer slowlaners. I've always kind of smiled at the irony ...they scoff at everything and we make it into a product.

    Fear the Flappy Bird

    My daughter's "addiction" is Vine this is where she saw a bunch of videos about it...one was a kid showing grandma his phone and saying "you wanna play flappy bird". She says "I don't wanna play no flappy bird"... that is how it was triggered in our house. I'm not as concerned about kids...

    You're talking about capital leveredge. I'm talking about leveredge of time and resources, so yes it applies to passive income in controlling all of your investment including capital. Well, then I hope you're taking notes...you might want to see how it's done here before you jest.

    This is just business. I get the mitigation of risk part of what you're saying but personally I can't think of anything that makes passive income NOT appealing. It's ALL appealing. Passivity is pure leveredge - a result of working smarter not harder. I don't think it's fair to associate...

    Is Passive Income Real?

    HOT! 
    Let's be clear that when we say "passive income" that doesn't mean that money falls out of the sky into your lap. PASSIVE INCOME means that the time you have to put into your business becomes less and less proportional to the return on that time i.e. the money you make. For example...

    Best Practices for Cold Calling

    MARKETING 
    The goals listed here are only to keep you on track so that YOU not the other business owner know what you're trying to accomplish. The easiest mistake is to talk glowingly about your service / product and not actually accomplish anything like a sale / partnershp etc. But as far as closing...

    Best Practices for Cold Calling

    Cold calling can be intimidating especially when you're new to the idea, but it doesn't have to be. There are resources that can help you become more comfortable with the process and ideally more successful with closing a sale / partnership / new vendor / funding etc. Since we're talking about...

    Thanks Oz, I'm glad it was helpful. Good God.. YES!! Ask for their business!! I think sales people think their goal is to talk about their product and they're finished. Understand this is a false sense of accomplishment and push to ask for the sale. Write down closes and practice them...

    Lending Club for a down payment?

    REAL ESTATE 
    No problem! Let me know if you have any questions... if you find someone considering it and they seem to be worried they won't ever see their money, give them the name of a note buyer & worst comes to worst they can always cash out on the note. Won't be full price but hey it's cash in hand.
