How hard are you making it to buy?

September 13, 2010

BestBuy spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring customers into their store, presumably to leave their cash behind and walk out with bags full of music, movies, video games and other assorted electronics. Once a potential purchaser is lured into crossing the threshold you’d think their employees would apply at least a minimal amount […]

Profiting from Info Products

Profiting from Info Products

September 12, 2010

I am in the midst of reading a new book called “The Six-Figure Second Income” by David Lindahl and Jonathan Rozek, and I’m really enjoying it.  I just finished chapter 3: “How to create content cheaply and easily.” In Stage 3 of this chapter, the authors outline over 40 different ways content can formatted for […]

YES is best but a NO is good too

YES is best but a NO is good too

August 24, 2010

The Opportunity Knocks Form

August 8, 2010

I believe most prospects are under the impression that if they say “no” to an offer, that you’ll just go back to the office, file your proposal in a drawer and go home — they don’t seem to realize that even if THEY said “no,” someone will eventually say “yes.” To make them confront this reality, I created a piece of paperwork I call The Opportunity Knocks Form.

Living Up to Leaving a Lasting Legacy

July 7, 2010

It’s always pretty incredible when a long-term goal comes to fruition. Even more so when the end-game holds special meaning — not something like buying your dream car or taking your ideal vacation — but something with almost historical significance. That’s how I felt today after receiving word I was among a handful of  people chosen to […]
