What is the secret to start and run a successful business?

You are a smart man or woman if you are looking to start your own business.

You are even smarter if you are reading this. How do I know?

I know because by reading this you are showing that you are one of the very few –and smart – people that do their research.

You want to succeed and make money?

Yes? Yes? Say YES!

I will teach you the simple secrets of how to start and run your own business.

Secrets? Yes. They are secrets.

Secrets because if everyone knew them – no one would be stupid enough to work for someone else, -punching a time clock and trading their lifetime for a meager and lousy paycheck. On the flip side, - You need people that are scared enough to work for a meager and lousy paycheck.

Those people are the ones that want to make you rich.

Yes! You read that right.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES THAT WANT TO MAKE YOU RICH.

Now, do you have what it takes to start and run your own business?

Let’s see if you do.

Here, here is a simple test and let’s see if you can follow simple directions:

• When you are done reading this, send an email to NJBARTER@AOL.COM and in the subject field put: I want the free CD seminar. On the body of the text of the email tell me where you want me to ship the free CD.

Ok, moving right along.

I will tell you know the most fundamental secret of success: No matter what you are trying to do with your life the most fundamental secret of success is to TAKE ACTION.

There. Simple right? Yes? No?

YES! It is simple, but you will not believe me. Want proof?!

I will give you a simple example as proof: If you are a lousy salesman, the phone will seem to weight 500 pounds when you have to make a sales call.

But if you are an excellent salesman you will not feel the weight of the phone! As a matter of fact –People will be calling you! You will not need to make phone calls.

You want to know the irony of this example? When people start calling you to give you their business, you are no longer a salesman. Odd, is it not?

Ok, I know what you are thinking. This is too good to be true.

What’s the catch? What’s this gonna cost me? Is this a scam?

Well, you decide.

Here is the second secret of starting and running your own business: The numbers don’t lie.

Do you agree that 1 + 1 = 2?

Of course you do!

Are you bad at math?

Do you hate math?

Do you feel stupid when dealing with math?

YES? – Do you know why that is?

Here, I will tell you why:

You were taught math the wrong way. I know you will not believe me yet, but soon you will know it to be true.

So what will you learn by taking action today?

• How to start your own business.
• How much to charge.
• How to set your prices.
• How much you can make.
• How to select your customers.
• How to find your customers.
• Why customers will choose to give you their business in a bad economy.
• What product or service to offer.
• What license you may need if any.
• How to borrow money if you need it.
• How to pay the minimum taxes.
On and on and much more.

Here is another secret: Customers do not like surprises. Why?

Because surprises create anxiety. Uncertainty, -in short: Fear.

If you are broke right now, that’s ok. Take action now so you can get back on your feet again. That’s what it takes.

TTake action now! I only have 12 CDs left. Call me on 201-737-6109.

Or send me an email to NJBARTER@AOL.COM like instructed.

TO YOUR SUCCESS!

Ah, up-selling. Nice.

[MNeagle]

Are you looking to:

1.) Find new revenue for your lost client base?

or

2.) Find a new job?

Besides the ironic humor that a GSUSer named "BillBoard" is asking about advertising??? :ROFL:

I'd add to MN's list, the Universal themes incorporation, aka the inate craving to becoming financially free.

The catch usually is, in these type of ads, to teach you how to copy paste their ad and send it out to your contacts list, selling the concept and some auto-responder program to all who answer. That's upselling.

Unless there is an actual product or service delivered, this is a churn and burn gimmick.

1.

I am looking to get more clients. I have acquired most of my clients through cold calling.

I used to buy lists from brokers, now I am using Salesgenie and have been pretty successful with their leads. The drawback? Many of the numbers are duds.

Now, I am working on making the sales cycle more efficient, finding the point of contact where my typical client get his information and place myself there. I am not looking to get any bigger, been there done that. What I am now looking for is to maximize my profit with the optimum amount of work I can handle.

You won't get what you are looking for at GSUS...

I think the method of marketing depends on the type of business you are building/running. Is it a low cost high volume product business or is it a high value product or service based business. Are your customers regular repeat or one off infrequent purchasers?

The reason those ads are appealing is because it's all about you. You're a smart person. Of course. You want to make money. Of course. People will work for you to make you your money. Cool.

There are no secrets there are just numbers. I can give you any number of slogans that mean the same thing. You have to play the numbers etc. You follow the process (steps) and you are guaranteed success. Oh and it's a limitted offer.
