Default Why do so few small biz owners know these things?

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the great ad tip...!

I like your friend Randal's approach!

And what you said...

"99% of biz owners in any Industry only do ONE THING to make moolah. Which makes it easy to list other proven ideas."

My experience bears that out...

I think anyone who comes to this forum regularly probably knows more marketing ideas than the average small business owner...

I often need to remind myself of this (because I tend to forget)...

Whenever I interact with small business owners... that's when I remember (because I tell them things which I know work, which they've never heard of, or never thought to do)...

Why don't they know these things?

I'd say it's because so many small business owners are so busy keeping the "ball rolling" in their business - that they don't have time to be up-to-date on all the marketing stuff...

For example, I once helped a restaurant owner get a lot more customers. He was so busy keeping the restaurant going, that he didn't have time to find out for himself many of the marketing techniques I used...

(And some of them used skills I had honed for many years - such as skills to write media releases, and also copywriting skills...)

Best wishes,

Dien

A Friend of mine, Randal Aungst, came up with this ad.

So Successful he could use it ANYWHERE. He NEVER had to buy lunch, either. He showed a list of moolah making ideas - Bullets - to each biz owner. And THEY gladly paid for lunch. So they could Find Out More.

AND hired him to boot.

Craigs List

Bank Entryway Bulletin Boards.

Networking Meetings

Emails to business owners he found on Facebook

Under Contractor Windshield Wipers outside "Home Depot" stories at 7:30 am

3 by 5 Cards under Windshields at hi end Restaurants

Randal used the ad for Barter too.

Which is how we met.

I needed a Place to give a 1/2 day presentation to the combined Group
of Jay Abraham Protege Grads from Virginia, MD, PA.

And Randal made a deal for catering and use of a
Big Banquet Room with sound rigged up - at a PA Resort.

=========
I share it here For 3 Reasons -

#1 - Can You GUESS the 1st thing the Business owners ASK over the phone when they call?

#2 - Your Readers might be able to adapt the idea.

#3 - I make moolah with the ad from Home. Email it to biz owners and
50% or more Email me Back and WANT TO TALK Right Away.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - Oh yeah.

Before you share the ad - Make a List of Moolah Making ideas
for the biz person you send the ad to.

(EDITORS NOTE - Very easy to google ideas. 99% of biz owners in any Industry
only do ONE THING to make moolah. Which makes it easy to list other proven ideas.)

And be ready for some HEAT.

These guys are really up-set that they are leaving HUGE Chunks of money on the table that YOU might be able to Snatch up under their noses.
