Default Re: It's hard to find a rich Hermit but ...the intenter makes it possible

I have one associate who I first made contact with by contracting with her to build my new website a couple years ago.

After learning a good deal about my products and the industry, she decided to expand her options and become an associate.

She was doing her webdesign work from home, with little or no face-to-face contact with clients.
She doesn't consider herself a salesperson, and definitely not a sales professional.

So, she created her own distinctive website featuring the promotional advertising products. Six months after getting it up and running, she shut down her webdesign business as it was interferring with her new income source.

At the end of her first year, she finished 18th nationally, out of 3400 dealers across the US, selling over a quarter million in her first year from a cold start.

After 18 months she only has two local customers in the Dallas metro area. Those are both friends she new before she started. All of her other customers are online buyers who she conducts business with via the internet, phone, and fax.

So, I guess she's only a hermit in respect to her business. It wouldn't have been possible a couple decades ago.
