Default Re: Why helping small businesses is the BEST opportunity there is.

Gordon,

You've hit the nail on the head here. Some of the most successful promotions I ever heard of were helping business owners.

Do you remember the school promotions where large refrigerator magnets had a bunch of local businesses displayed?

A famous internet marketer is now selling a program to use PRINTERS to get more local business clients. One of my friends is a printer and has so much business, he cannot handle getting any more.

Setting something up that doesn't cost the business anything can be a goldmine.

Just being helpful will do wonders.

Case in point: I was eating at a local restaurant when I mentioned to the owner a way to save money on his buffet. He was so pleased that from that time on, I never had to pay for a meal for myself and my wife. He insisted that I eat free.

If a person is just friendly and helpful, a business owner will often say thanks with services or goods. It is worth trying.
