    I like your trial mindset. You're absolutely guaranteed to successfully learn... something! ;-) Some things about you, some things about business, some things about your current market. My point is to see if you break this into a LOT of little trials... each one of which, independently, could...

    Commissions for sales rep?

    Good luck, but I think this is a strategic mistake in your situation. I think it would be better for you (as it would for me) to meet ten prospects and have ten follow ups every week, rather than checking back week after week to see if The One Deal has closed yet.

    INTRO 
    Although I'm a bit older, I have a similar tight situation and timing issue right now. I took a quick look at your Commissions? thread and have a few thoughts. Have you read either of MJ's books? If not I highly recommend you do! There are review threads here for both of them. And he's...

    Is it illegal for me to use other products in my product?

    I usually see that somewhere in any package from a pharmacy or drugstore, there's a message something like, "This is packaged for individual use only, not for resale." Could you get in legal trouble if you violate that? I don't know. But it seems like a potentially risky area. I wonder why...

    Copywriting Challenge May 2018 (Join me)

    EXECUTION 
    They Laughed When I Sat Down To Read Copywriting Books, But When I Began To Sell.... I've read most of those books, and would enjoy joining a study/discussion/application group about them. If I could only take one book to a desert island, and had to write a great sales letter in a bottle to...

    Introducing myself

    INTRO 
    Hi Litza! Wow, you've sure done a lot. You mention you're currently in Spain, but not where you're originally from. I look forward to your sharing your new company journey. The only advice I have is, to be aware that people can change not just jobs, but entire careers... so you don't have to...

    Hi Damien, wow are you a go-getter! :) From your headline, I expected your post to say, "I'm a traveling salesman, tonight I'm writing to you from Motel 6 in Nowhereseville, Nebraska." You don't mention how old you are, and is this your first time trying to build your own business?

    INTRO 
    Hi Sunil, welcome! What part of India are you in? I have some pen pals in different parts of the country. I'm amazed by how much you've already experienced at your age. Don't overlook how valuable your sales experience is. Many people twice your age are still too nervous to walk in to a...

    Hi Stephen. I've done a lot of web and database work, but for internal use only in the corporate arena. Working now to transition to freelance marketing consulting & web dev. I'd like to be able to add e-commerce functionality. What are some of the successes you've had with it? Do you...

    Hi, I'm just another Simon

    INTRO 
    Hi Simon, welcome to the forum. I'm a Gen-X'er with many years of corporate jobs, and was recently in some business networking groups that had a lot of Millennials. They were always very interested to talk with me about their struggles navigating office politics, etc., with someone who'd been...

    Has anyone consulted a psychic? (Feel free to laugh)

    INTRO 
    Thanks for explaining some more, Lily. I understand that federal Human Resources might have lots of strict requirements about your background, to get hired as an employee. But, what would it take to be qualified as a vendor of consulting services? My guess is that might be a lot easier...

    Freelance to agency > Why would people work for me?

    That question seems really, really easy to me! Writing samples show the quality of their work. Reviews, referrals, and testimonials, from previous clients, show that the freelancer is easy to work with, timely and shows professionalism. If a freelancer lacks these, but seems eager and likely...

    Has anyone consulted a psychic? (Feel free to laugh)

    INTRO 
    Hi Lily, welcome from another pretty new forum user. I'm glad you and your husband both have an entrepreneurial mindset. It's really hard when only half of a couple has the ambition and drive to make their own business. You don't mention your age range? If you need business building skills...

    I lost 5 years in College like a Loser, now What?

    Thinking that way doesn't help. Suppose you did waste five years, what should you do now? Something that makes the most of today, for a better week, for a better month, so the next year's better. Suppose you didn't totally waste five years, what should you do now? Something that makes the...

    Thanks for the superb interview! It may be a few years old now, but I just discovered it thanks to your invitation. The business attitude and value is timeless! I thought it was going to be all about Adwords. Nice to discover that you covered a lot of other material as well. I would title...

    Would starting a business with a van be a fastlane business?

    These are easy businesses to start and make a little money. If you have no experience making sales to clients, they'd let you get comfortable with that, in a low pressure environment. It would only be Fastlane if you turned it into some kind of agency or crew based system where you, and...

    5 steps to make more money in your service business

    These are really great easy to use sales tips, Maurice, thank you! The tablet one helped refine an idea I had. I was thinking I should bring a laptop to make a quote, and a portable printer to print it out. But emailing the customer... duh!!! It makes so much more sense to send it to them...

    Requesting NECTS analysis help for restaurant marketing plan

    MARKETING 
    Surprised there's no interest in Speedway members helping each other apply MJ's process to evaluate a business. Entry is the weakest part of this business. there's nothing at all about it that requires a doctorate from MIT! Many people have enough marketing and sales talent to make a sales...
