Thanks Stan for the advice; I will do just that! One successful lady doing this monthly coupon sales does just that, she calls on the people who advertise in the local city magazines, the slick kind that cost $1000(s) per ad. $150-$200 a month would not seem like much of an investment to them. She developed this service (by the way) and is successful. It’s just harder (and not sometimes) to get through the gate keepers; they mostly have ad agencies. Maybe ad agencies might be a good place to call as well. Hmmmm. Interesting new thought.

Thanks again, Stan, I appreciate your commenting.

I just want to reply to Deb Adams and say that High Probability Selling works in the advertising field. The only thing I would recommend is that you first contact businesses that are already advertising in your area and next on your list of prospects only contact business that are geared for retail clients and are generating sales of $500,000 or more.

Dear Jacques,

Thanks for sharing Josh’s story. I feel just like he does except I’m quite a bit older doing the same things.

I’m enamored and convinced that I could/can sell according the the High-Probability Selling Plan expounded in your book. I too have read and reread the book, get something new each time, and really enjoy how it makes me feel about my selling opportunities.

I was glad that you said the MLM, multi-level marketing will not work with High-Probability Sales. I had wondered about that.

What I want to sell is advertising — monthly mailings that go out to new homeowners in my area introducing local businesses to the newcomers via discounts and coupons inviting them to use their services or products.

Straight forward enough I guess, not MLM, so…why haven’t I been successful yet with your program?

Honesty must prevail here: In the education field it’s a simple by effective concept called “Time on Task.” I always thought it rather ridiculous that we had to have something obvious, so simple and self-evident, put in such formal terms. Of course (I thought) if you don’t spend time teaching spelling, then the students will not learn spelling.

I believe that goes for High- Probability Selling; if I don’t spend the hours prospecting and calling people making my offers, then it’s unlikely I will actually do much selling (of any kind) no matter how wonderful the program or theories.

True confession; now is it good for the Soul?

I plan to work.

Jacques,
If he reads this BLOG, I am sure I won’t be the 1st person to say I wish he had called on MY office to prospect his services!

Good luck to him, and Great Selling!
