Please Help me with a Cold Calling Procedure....(Don? Skip?)

Thanks Don.

I thought I read somewhere that you get 1000 cards printed for $25. And charge $129 for it. May have been my mistake.

I tend to work with printers because they are a very good source of leads for marketing and web development (something I'm good at.)

And so always have my radar on for anything that may help them.

If someone wants small business leads - here is an idea for you:

1. Write a 4-8pg report on the best business cards out there
2. Add a unique tracking code to the report
3. Approach a printer and pay him to print 100 copies of the report
4. Then ask him if he could deliver the report to his prospects. If he does - and people contact you for your services - you will pay the printer a finders fee (this is where the unique tracking code comes in handy)
5. Let the printer know that he should contact you when he is out of a 100 copies. And you'll buy more copies from him so that he can deliver the report to his new prospects.
6. Repeat. Find another printer.
