Hi Christopher

Thanks for asking about best businesses profit wise.

Start with the most profitable and work your way down.

The top six that I find are:

CPAs
pre-tax profit margin of 17.1%

Chiropractors
pre-tax margin of 16%

Tax Preparers
pre-tax margin of 15.5%

Dentists
pre-tax margin of 15.4%

Self-Storage Units
profit margin of 12.3%

Optometrists
pre-tax margin of 12.2%


The reason is that the higher the profit margin the more they can spend
on advertising.

To find keywords for each just look at the display ads in your Yellow Pages
online and offline to find what products are advertised the most.

Hope that helps.

Best of success,

Skip Rosell

Default Physical Therapist DOUBLES His Rates from 60.00 to 120.00

Thanks Skip,

Here's a CASE STUDY on How to RAISE Your Prices
Using a 2 Minute REASON WHY Proof

Physical Therapist got hit by a Truck. After a couple YEARS in Pain. Lost her job.

She came up with techniques to quickly Heal knee, ankle, shoulder, hip
and ease back pain - LITERALLY in a few minutes.

OVER THE PHONE too.

So.

I'm Talking to Frank.

Frank was Trained by Susan.

Frank says, "I charge 60.00 per appointment to reduce Knee Pain."

I said, "DOUBLE IT."

He says, "I can't do that cuz my competitors charge 60.00 or less."

I say, "Great. Let's USe that. Your Homework is to type up a page of name
address, ph # of all your competitors to Show Your Prospects."

Frank Gets clients by walking up to Affluent
people WHO LIMP into A Golf Pro Shop or Hi End Hotel.

I say, "Ooooh. Golfers! I can teach you to drop 15 or 20 Strokes off any Golfers game in just a few minutes. So You are a client Referral Source for me."

"BUT Here's what you do NOW.

a - You walk up to the man or woman who Limps

b - You verify they have ankle, knee pain

c - (Susan taught Frank a ROLLING TECHNIQUE that reduces pain in 2 minutes FLAT by 50% or more.)

So Frank says, "I'm a Physical therapist and can take away most of your knee pain in 2 minutes Flat. IF you sit down over there You'll be PAIN FREE
for the rest of the day.

d - While they sit Frank hands them 2 pages of PAIN REDUCTION Before/After Case Studies based on his past clients results.

e - FRANK Hands them the list of his competitors and says, "This is a list
of my competitors who charge 60.00 an hour OR LESS. Call Them. Ask
them if they can Reduce your pain over the phone. Or In 2 Minutes
Like I just did.

OR - Pay me 120.00 Per Appointment. I don't really HAVE any
Competitors who can do what I do."

PEOPLE In Pain WANT THE BEST.

Not The Cheapest.

Especially when it comes to their Own Body!

Thanks,
Glenn Osborn
