![]() Thanks Cornel,
Good details. I've used variations of this WARM - FUZZY - FRIENDLY Door Knocking method for everything from Plumbers in Chicago. To Landscapers in Florida. To Insurance S alespeople in California. YOU Can Work a full time job And do this part time. OR OWN a full time business and make good munny part time. COMMON SENSE really. Only do The 4 home-Circle-Door Knocking in the evening after folks Get home from work and weekends. Someone is almost ALWAYS HOME. Glenn Osborn |

![]() Hi,
Years ago at a Jay Abraham seminar I met a guy named Mac Ross. Mac was on-stage fielding questions with Jay at all 15 Protege Bootcamps I attended. Macrae Ross. He explain how it was not necessary to use any of the Myriad of Complicated Contracts Jay had hired his attorney to create for us. IN FACT. It was better and quicker to AVOID Contracts and Letters of Agreement because they were what got client prospects to RUN to their Attorneys. And an attorneys MAIN job - in their mind - is to give REASONS WHY You should NOT do the deal. Here's What Mac does instead. Adapted for roofing contractors or Insurance agents or ANY situation where you s ell stuff to home owners. ******** STEP I - You have to FIND some Roofing Jobs under-way. So You Hotfoot it down to your local Home Depot. Early in the morning. Help contractors carry and push their purchases back to the truck. Tell a roofer You Dad or brother is thinking of getting HIS roof replaced. And ask if it's ok to follow him back to the Job Site. Their current Roof Replacement project. GET THE Address in case you Lose him at a red light. Then do the same thing with 2 or 3 other Contractors. ********* STEP II - Ok. You Wait until After 5 Pm - when the workers knock off for the day. You zip over to the job-site. And knock on 4 or 5 of the neighbors doors. Use the REASON WHY Patter at the top of this thread. Cornel and His NOISE Reason why is good too. You can Apologize for the NOISE and The Mess. Offer them a Free Roof Or Energy CheckList Consultation. ********** STEP III - A - By This time - You've Already gone thru the contractors website. B - You have chatted with the Receptionist or Job Site Manager - about the Regular cost of getting a roof inspection and bid. (**Emailed her 2 or 3 Amazing Scrumptious Muffin Recipes w/Thank U Notes.) C - You've Discovered that they WAIVE that fee for homes near where they are already working. (IF they don't - CROSS that one off your list.) ********** STEP IV - Then You Call and Tell the Receptionist you have 2 or 3 Prospects. Home owners who want a roof estimate. (And You Have a SYSTEM to get more.) Don't leave it there either. E-mail her a page of details. Jane Doe - 2500 sq feet - Age of roof. Leaks around chimney. Location: Btwn Home Depot and Your current job site at _________. ASK Each Contractor, "How much do you P ay for Finders? People who find You roof replacement jobs." Depending on the SIZE of the roof they may P ay you MORE than 500.00 *********** STEP V - THIS IS THE KEY to getting paid without any contract. WHEN THE OWNER CALLS YOU BACK. And They Always do when You Name DROP - FREE MOOLAH - You Name Drop his biggest competitor - that the Receptionist told you about. Why did She BLAB to you? You Plied Her With Muffin Recipes and Thank You Notes. You ALSO mention the other 3 Roof Contractor Companies - AND their owners names - You met at the Home Depot SuperStore. You Explain You Have More LEADS than One Roofer Can Keep Up with. EVEN the Greedy SOB who Won't Do a F-r-e-e Estimate Will GO A BIT CRAZY when he finds out you have A List of Home Owners WANTING to Hire a roofer! Thanks, Glenn Osborn P.S. - How do You Get Friendly With the Receptionist at each Roofing Contract Company - so fast? My Clients Sends Them MUFFIN RECIPE Thank You Notes. AND FEED The Half Starved Roofers Home Made Muffins - while you help them Carry their stuff out to the truck. They'll TALK Your Head Off When You Feed Them. TELL YOU ANYTHING. All their secrets. WHAT is So Special About My Collection Of Muffin Recipes - you ask? They've ALREADY grossed a million dollars. http://archive.enchantednlp.com/products.php?id=77 |

![]() Hey,
I've got a Magician Client Who Bakes These Back-Stage At his Shows. The Home Cooked Aroma is SO INCREDIBLE... People FIGHT For Samples. Glenn ==================== #3 - Mouthwatering Whole Wheat Prune Muffins Mouthwatering Prune Muffins - Prune Whole Wheat Muffins MY ADVICE - Don't Say They're Prune Muffins 'Til After Every Muffin Is Eaten. The secret here is NOT to tell your sisters, brothers or parents what's in these muffins. Tell them after they scarf them down. After that they won't say "eeuuuuwww! Prune Muffins?" All you'll hear them say is, "Make some more of those." Another piece of advice. Don't ever dye Prune Muffins Green. My Grandfather came over to our house on St. Patrick's Day for dinner. I tried to im- press him with Green Prune Muffins. Not a good idea. The yellow-brown whole wheat flower and the green food coloring turned the muffins a bruised color (black and blue). And The dark bits of prune made the whole effect even worse! My Grandfather talked about those muffins for years. 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees 2. Grease 12 muffin tins 3. Chop up pitted prunes -- cut each prune into eight pieces or more 4. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl 5. Then thoroughly mix 1 teaspoon of soda with dry ingredients 6. Pour wet ingredients in with dry and mix with large spoon until combined Don't beat mixture. Just mix until no dry spots are left. 7. Immediately Spoon into greased muffin tins 8. Bake in oven for about 25 minutes. Tops of muffins will get brown when done. Ingredients: 1/2 cup oil 1/4 cup warm honey 1 beaten egg 1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour 1/2 tsp salt (optional) I don't use it 3/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (In a pinch you can mix up 3/4 cup of dry milk with water and squirt in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice -- This reacts with the soda and makes the batter rise) 1/2 cup finely chopped prunes |

![]() Glenn,
Why tell them anything about the muffins, just let them enjoy. If they do ask just go back to a late 70's Tide commercial, I believe it was Tide, where this Chinese guy said "Ancient Chinese secret" when asked about his great cleaning method. If memory serves me correctly, his wife busted him and told the customers his "secret" |

![]() Hey Rick,
I never suspected - when I was going thru hell - as a young kid - having to make dessert for every meal... I am the oldest of 3 and got CHOSEN for the job. Day after Day. Year after year. My mother cooked the meals. I did dessert. I got hassled by everybody about dessert. That I'd be able to Take Advantage of more than 10 years of Muffin Making to Persuade and sell stuff. First - as a way to turn Gate Keepers into friends - while telemarketing for Jay Abraham... Then Later... I discovered almost EVERYBODY Eats bad tasting food. Most of what most people eat is processed or fast food or CARDBOARD Pizza. So. My decade of muffin recipe TESTS taste like HEAVEN to people used to eating JUNK. Use what you know to get the result you want. Glenn |

![]() Hi Glenn,
LindaC here. Seven brothers at home growing up. I too was in charge of making the blackberry cobbler, Banana pudding, Strawberry-rhubarb pies, and fries apple pies. Those wear the days. I also got appointments for an aluminum siding company. But, they only paid $50 if a sale was made. My Best 2 U, LindaC Last edited by LindaC : June 7, 2013 at 10:52 AM. Reason: correct spelling. |

![]() Thanks Glenn (and also Cornell) for those insights. Brilliant!
I've actually been meaning to get into making money from generating leads. With this, and with some of the lead-generating tips which have been posted over the years, how could you not end up being a kind lead generating master? Also, thanks Glenn on the tips on how to make sure you get paid. If you don't know what you're doing, sometimes that can be harder than actually generating the leads themselves (though not if you do know what you're doing). Thanks - these posts are of immense value, for those who can see it! - Dien |
