A Marketing Challenge For Y'All

Chris,

You got some terrific ideas for your friend on this board. Your friend should be excited about trying many of the different ideas that were presented.

I have a friend I've known for years who is always struggling to get more local business so he doesn't have to travel so much. For a while I tried to help him with ideas to generate the business he says he wants.

After a while I noticed that none of my ideas were implemented either because he was too "busy" or he wasn't willing to change the way he was doing things. So we are still friends but I don't give any marketing ideas and he continues to travel more than he says he wants to.

I've had the same experience with family members. The ones you really want to help the most often appreciate it the least (like friends and family members)...while at the same time people who don't know you (personally) are willing to pay you thousands of dollars for these same ideas and are excitied about getting and using them.

So now I remember a saying by a guy I heard on a Jay Abraham tape (I can't think of his name).. if after presenting your marketing ideas they aren't salivating...move on to the next one (even if they are friends or family)
