Thanks Dien,

So how might a Retired State Senator make Millions
in business - you ask?

He uses Legal Blackmail.

This character owns a Paint and Asbestos Abatement company.

Below is his ONLY Marketing.

I - He mails a 100 business owners in a neighborhood
an offer - which includes a Magazine article.

II - The Article AND his follow up phone call
mention how costly it is to Be FINED for not starting a clean-up effort.

III - Then he forwards the Name, Ph #, Address of the biz
owners who say "NO" to the State Lead Paint or Asbestos Inspectors.

IV - Who happily show up and Levy a 15,000.00 fine
per month - Per Building - that no action is taken.

V - Biz owners are forced to Hire this SOB.

(Editors Note - My Guess is the Former Senator doesn't even have to
pay the inspectors - under the table - or at ALL. Because they have some kind
of quota and can be Sure that ANY address he sends them - is Breaking the
Lead Paint or Asbestos Law. And they can fill their quota with the least effort
possible.)
=========
=========
Based on this Aspect of Human Nature.

LAZY.

We helped a New Business Owner BARTER with the Highway Patrol in Several
States that passed a New Law. All Truck drivers are required to be checked
for Drug Use - monthly.

Big Companies do it in-house.

The little guys - NOT.

So Terry devised a plan where the little trucking companies
could sign up to his service And MAIL in their samples.

HOW DO YOU SELL IT WITH NO MUNNY?

You Rely on Human Nature.

We Figured that the Highway Patrol DID NOT WANT to fill out paperwork.
Be the Bad Guy. Come back and back to Check on each Trucking Co Owner.

So.

We created a F_R_E_E Drug Testing Packet
they could hand out to Trucking company owners instead.

Say, "Instead of fining you. Filling out paper-work in triplicate.
Then coming back and Checking on you. Here is a company that does
all the compliance work FOR you. Call them now and we'll forget
I stopped one of your truckers without his state drug-testing license."

Son of a gun
it worked like a charm.

Terry doubled his sales - then doubled again.

Last we spoke it looked like several other states
were passing similar laws.

So Terry may need a truck to carry his munny
from his home business - to the bank.

Thanks,
Glenn
