Default "Whisper" Bux

"Call Fire" is a phone service where you can rent phone numbers cheaply and re-direct calls to your clients and.....when the phone rings at your client's biz........before the phone connection is made.....a robot-voice comes on that says; "Here's another lead from "Smith Marketing"!

It then connects the caller to your client.

Well......here's a way to make some good money with this.

SELL LEADS TO CAR DEALERS

Car Dealers MUST sell their inventory! They will pay at least $35 for any "Lead Call"!

So....how can you get people to call a Car Dealer you got to agree to pay $35 per call?

Go to a Mini-Market and tell the owner......"If you will put this Note on all your receipts; "Show This Receipt and Get $500 OFF ANY Vehicle! Phone Hawkins Chevy at 555-1234 x 22"....

I will pay you $5 for every Call that comes in!

Then tell him your system knows where each call comes from.....from the "Whisper" program on the phone.

So.....you get a Mini-Mkt to agree to do this and you then go to a local Car Dealer and tell him a local Mini-Market has agreed to put "THIS" (SHow sample receipt) on all his receipts....he issues hundreds a day.

If the Dealer is interested, tell him your fee is $350 Set up and $35 per Call payable on the 1st of every month.

You will show your "Whisper-Phone" receipt to the Car Dealer and Mini-Mkt owner.....collecting $35 from Dealer and paying $5 to Mkt so......you profit $30 on each call......every month.

Thanks Don...

Another great Don Alm idea!

One thing I love about your ideas is that they involve taking person A, and person B, putting them together for mutual benefit, and also making a profit out of the whole thing, too...

This is another one of those great "win/win/win" type of ideas!

Another great thing about this is, you don't need much "monetary resources" to do this... Just a little gumption and a dash of eagerness to try something new, and to better your situation...

You could also start one of these businesses as a partnership... Sometimes, people do better that way, especially in the beginning, because they are supporting each other... Just make sure you always "partner" with someone you can trust!

Ah, that reminds me... a friend of mine had a get-together at his house about a week ago, and I went along to it... There were maybe about 50 people at his house (we spilled out onto the back veranda and back yard)...

Anyway, one guy I met there, Bill, runs his own security camera business, where he sets up security cameras for both businesses and home owners.

He now runs the business by himself, but he used to have a partner. Things went well with his partner for several years... But then, all of a sudden, his partner ran off with the money!

He then started again, by himself... The thing is, he sensed his partner was a little bit "shifty." But, since his partner had never done anything to him personally, he thought he was okay. That was the mistake...

His clients actually told him that they were happy to see his partner go. Apparently many of them could sense that Bill was a straight talking type of guy, but that his partner was not!

The lesson is... If you get a business partner (and it can be sometimes beneficial to have one), always partner with someone you can be sure you can trust...

Anyway, went off on a tangent there...

Great idea, Don - thanks! I love these kind of money-making ideas... You can do them without many resources of your own, because in reality, you are very cleverly "leveraging" off of other people's resources, and also doing it in a way such that everyone wins (and everyone makes more money)!

Best wishes,

Dien

Thanks Dien.......this technique usually brought in an average of 20 calls a month...depending on the popularity of the mini-mkt and time of year. In one mkt we were getting about 30 calls a mo......we paid the mkt $150/mo...well worth their effort and.....I boosted the Lead Fee to $50 per call.

Also....this program does not have to generate Leads just for Car Dealers. It could also work for other biz.
