    Email Newsletter as a Business

    Hi Dustin. It is a specialty. I chatted with a guy in a coffee shop last year, who said that running these kinds of newsletters and campaigns for other businesses is his full time work. I only met him the one time while waiting to meet someone else, so I don't know any more about how his...

    From Fired to Cold Calling

    EXECUTION 
    He does talk about storytelling with pictures. You could skip ahead to the Big Airport Meeting towards the end of the book, if you'd rather have tips than the suspenseful storyline. It might help you to look for examples of Hollywood pitches with pictures. There are anecdotes of how the...

    Starting over- Want to merge Traction, Fastlane, and One Simple Idea

    IDEA 
    Hmm! I'd like to learn a little more about what you see as the difference between marketing and sales. Also, what is sales, if not talking to people and helping them out? And what good is a job where you don't get to talk to people and help them out? I wonder if there's some kind of...

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Congratulations on your real estate success. If the only thing that matters about what you read is how you feel when you read it... if whether the stories provided are true or not is irrelevant... than my own personal history is also pointless to ask about, and irrelevant to know. All that...

    Calling all CLOSERS. Need sales advice!

    HOT! 
    I totally agree with Dan. Also, you now see why they're called "prospects" at this point. Some marketers would make a distinction and only call them "suspects" until they are in a conversation with you about their needs and interests, and about your offers and pricing. Most marketers would...

    The Next Instagram – Social Network For Stories

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    The question isn't whether it's possible to invent a new web site or app that offers some kind of unique twist. The question is whether that solves a problem so meaningful to so many people that they'll eagerly pay for it, or eagerly stay around through the ads. Telling more meaningful stories...

    There are actually several step by step guides. I linked to some of them and I can provide links to many more.

    What are some in demand jobs FAR away from society?(Ex. Antarctic Outpost)

    Haha! I'm not introverted enough to not miss everyone else. But if you go for it, please come back with a great book about the experience!

    Need HELP! Found a geographical arbitrage opportunity, now what?

    This looks interesting! I don't have any relevant experience with anything like this. My only advice would be to check with the FDA and look up history and other fancy local water sellers... which you're already doing. I look forward to learning more, as you decide whether or not to more...

    Calling all CLOSERS. Need sales advice!

    HOT! 
    I agree with all the great advice in this thread. Have your pen and notepad handy. Ask and learn! What is the prospect's situation now? What would they like to have as their future situation? What's been challenging for them to get there? What have they tried before and how did that work...

    Anyone read "How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World"?

    It was one of the first books I read that suggested that there are socially predefined scripts that are not in my own best interest. Browne helped people get that point in his day, but I think that MJ addresses that theme in a more approachable, relatable way for today's audiences. Browne's...

    Robert kiyosaki method

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Oh, now I get what you mean with your explanation. It didn't occur to me that someone would compare Rich Dad to the Bible as they both are just a few simple little stories, that are easy to remember since one's youth. That's not how I think of the Bible, for reasons that would be way off topic...

    It would also be a total failure if the goal is to get away from EVERYONE. Much of the year the station crew would have to stay inside, with the same few people in close quarters all the time. There are so many other types of jobs and freelance gigs that can be done with minimal...

    Starting over- Want to merge Traction, Fastlane, and One Simple Idea

    IDEA 
    Welcome Lynette! Great to have another big-picture visionary, who wants to find if the Fastlane has a branch that goes clear around those darn hundred phone calls. :eek: Sounds like you are now free to organize your life and your business however you like. Time now find out what works well...

    From Fired to Cold Calling

    EXECUTION 
    That makes sense, but in Schiffman's book, he pushes very hard that the appointment setting call should not try to gather info or present anything at all, other than that a meeting should happen. In saying that, he contradicts what you say and what I've seen from many other cold call advisers...

    That sounds exciting! And also a little intimidating! What's your take on him? I've read most of Alan Weiss's books. I like most of what he says. He occasionally gets extremely critical and condescending, of people who came from a different social/economic background than he does, so the...

    Convince me to Not Buy a Home

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    This is an interesting thread to follow. Thanks for the many perspectives. Yesterday the state's public radio news (I'm in the Midwest) had a story on how this is the hot, hot time for home sellers, but oh so difficult for buyers. They said half of homes are selling above asking price...

    Robert kiyosaki method

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I don't think anyone's insulting the obvious fact that Robert (or whoever actually wrote the books and came up with the marketing plan) is a hell of a great storyteller, very talented at making emotional connection, inspiring people to challenge and discard some of their scripted belief...

    I talked with people who had done this. For National Park trail building and maintenance, they said there is a web site for a company that places many of these jobs. Unfortunately, I don't remember the company. Also, the jobs they talked about were with other people around, such as trail...
