Work At Home Opportunity Or Stick With The Corporate World
Considering one's career path could be one of the most stressful times in a persons life. This is of course a scary thought for most people who face their worst fears, they lost their jobs. For most of us, its compounded by dread of the thought of going on a job Interview again and convincing some employer how you are the best candidate for the job. I've heard horrible jokes in the corporate lunch rooms about not hiring a perfectly qualified candidate who was over 4

response to a negative request I would just smile and say, “Please excuse my persistence.”

*Try to create flyers that are tailored to certain industries, “I am with (Your company) and we have a customized program for (Name of your prospect’s industry)………….”

*When you get back to your office make sure that you follow up with each prospect and log every single call that you make.

*Call your prospect till they hang up on you; tell you that they are not interested, tell you to call them back---basically call them till you get some sort of outcome. Your best outcome will obviously be a sale!

*If an office door says, “NO SOLICITATION,” do you enter the office? This is a

I remember how scared I was the first time I entered an office building to make cold calls. When I walked into the first office I think that the receptionist had noticed a sign on my forehead that said, “Hi, I’m here to sell you something.” I felt as if I was interrupting her day and then I began to have second thoughts about what I was doing here. Should I just go home? Maybe this is not for me? After my tenth office visit I became very frustrated and decided that my time was better spent making cold calls on the telephone.

When I got back to my desk I began to visualize what had happened to me that day. What could I have done differently? Maybe I’m not cut out for door to door cold calling? I don’t mind getting rejected over the phone, but getting rejected in person was too much for me to handle—it brought me down! Because it’s difficult for me to give up, I began to do some brainstorming so that I could determine what I could do differently the next time around. What did I come up with to improve the effectiveness of door to door cold calling?

*Below is a laundry list of new ideas that I came up with and what you can easily implement when cold calling in office buildings.

*As soon as you enter an office it’s important that you greet the receptionist with eye contact and a nice big smile.

*Be positive and enthusiastic because your positive attitude and enthusiasm are contagious!

*Both men and women should be dressed in a suit. And the reason for dressing this way is because how you dress affects your attitude and how others may positively or negatively perceive you.

*Prepare a flyer that offers a special limited-time promotion and make sure that your flyer is easy on the eyes.

*Keep your opening lines (Your introduction, the reason for your visit and how you can help them) short and too the point.

*Offer examples of how other customers in their industry have benefited from using your product or service.

*If you prefer not to visit each office to introduce yourself or hand out flyers then I would find the main business directory in the building and write down every tenant in the building (If you are smart you could bring a camera and take a picture of the business directory).

*Try handing out candy (Be prepared and bring sugar-free candy) along with your special promotional flyer. Who doesn’t like candy?

*Bring a notepad with you to take notes or write notes on the back of the business cards that you collect from each office.

*Make sure that you follow up that day or the next day with each prospect that you had visited.

*If someone tells you to leave immediately always respond with something positive. Try to avoid any negative energy because it can get you down. In response to a negative request I would just smile and say, “Please excuse my persistence.”

*Try to create flyers that are tailored to certain industries, “I am with (Your company) and we have a customized program for (Name of your prospect’s industry)………….”

Do You Mean To Say That After All These Years There Has Never Been Any Advertising Accountability?
Then please tell me how they get away with saying "Advertising works". A recent report by America's Association of National Advertisers claims, "Marketing accountability is still often an activity trapped within the silo of the Marketing function".It would seem that the findings underscore last summers "Marketing Accountability Survey" in which 60% of respondents reported no cross-functional involvement whatever within their company!And so the long pr
