    Cold Callers: I want your opinion!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    What about something along the lines of "Hi. Maybe you can help me out. Could you tell me who oversees your X (Marketing, Facilities, etc) department? I'd like to mail them a letter." With luck, they'll give you a name, a job title, and that'll be plenty for you to call back with later and as...

    Cold Callers: I want your opinion!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Found it! Let me paraphrase a bit here... In The 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferriss talks about the best time to make cold calls. One of the biggest obstacles Ferriss originally ran into when making cold calls was that he was being blocked by the receptionists or "gatekeepers." He avoided them by...

    Cold Callers: I want your opinion!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I thought it was Tim Ferris who mentioned something about timing being important but I can't seem to find it in his book - 4 Hour Workweek... If I come across it I'll let you know but if my memory serves me right (and maybe someone else can weigh in if they've read it) - he mentions that admins...

    Lack of ideas to start business

    IDEA 
    I know a lot of people in this thread are saying 'steal someone else's idea and make it better' etc etc... Sure, that works pretty well, but let me offer you another suggestion that I think you may not necessarily be considering - If you read MFL you've probably seen his excerpt about finding...

    Fell into the Video Game Trap

    HOT! 
    I was an RTW junkie too when I was a kid... it was probably the last game I probably could have gone pro at... I'd rise through the ranks in the clans. I was stuck on it when the world had moved on to MTW - then I sucked. By the time I went to college, I started wondering WTF I was doing wasting...

    Cold Callers: I want your opinion!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Hey @Crexty, was going to suggest @Scot's AMA thread that may be helpful to you but I see you already found it - think you might have a better chance jumping into the conversation there since it has quite the following atm - Ask Me Anything - The Beginner's guide to Sales + AMA Good luck!

    Anyone Help me?

    MARKETING 
    Andrew, take it from another 'green' guy on the forum... these guys are gonna tear you a new one if you walk in with questions like this. There's tons and tons of books and materials on exactly the questions you asked... and if you search the forum - there's treasures to be found. It doesn't...

    This literally transformed my thinking... we all need to do this. It's the best way to change we view our actions. Goals should not be 'events' but rather, the 'process'. Thank you!

    A Deaf Guy Starting a Telemarketing company survey

    MARKETING 
    I can't stress enough how helpful this will be. The survey is a great resource, it'll really help define the value of the business. Fortunately, the telemarketing industry is a very broadly used resource that benefit many businesses. It's a fiercely competitive industry - but as you said, there...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Just finished Unscripted.. and can I just say WOW. Granted, took me longer to read than FLM but it got me off the mental j**koff train and into my first product. P.S. What's the Speedway Pass Badge for?

    STOP Paying Rent: Live For Free

    GOLD! REAL ESTATE 
    Great post Alexander! I really appreciated reading this. I'm so glad I ran into this because I was thinking about buying my own place and had been thinking of doing the exact same thing as your first post suggested. Living in Michigan ATM not too far from Detroit which is in need of some major...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    To be fair, they say the same thing about Etherium. What is the 'technology'? Sure, they might market it this way, but we understand the technology? BTC is intended to be currency, not technology. Competing currencies are pretty much just that, currency. It's like saying Canadian Dollar bills...

    HOT! CRYPTO CHAT 
    I agree. LTC is only going up because it's an attractive option on Coinbase and the people who downloaded the app for the first time yesterday had no idea what it was so they just threw money in it hoping to score some gumballs. I'm in the game - mainly because I watched 'The Rise and Rise of...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I can already feel the intense slapping I'm going to get for posting this. Honestly, I found my 'Lambo' reading a Dave Ramsey book (sorry MJ)... The one thing he mentions in The Total Money Makeover is the 'pinnacle point' and that's the point in your life where your money starts making more...

    Manufacturing question

    True. If it's an original and it meets the 4 Commandments, there's still a market for it. Hopefully you've had a chance to check out some of the marketing courses on Udemy. I went on a holiday splurge and took about six of them over the holidays. Lots of useful insight there.

    Manufacturing question

    Heard about legal zoom! Thanks for the referral, I'll look into them. I had a conversation with a fellow FLM pal who renders products for a partial living - (he's been down this road before). Since this is my first product and a rather simple one at that, I'm thinking I'll get it rendered and...
