a. People who you see occasionally around town. and b. Total strangers you have never met before. (We will cover this in another lesson – approaching “cold market” strangers)
- Owner of the dry cleaners where you get your suits cleaned.
- Owner of the local meat market.
- Owner of your local gas station.
- Owners of the restaurants where you dine frequently.
- Your insurance agent for your vehicles.
- Your insurance agent for your home.
- Your insurance Agent for your Life Insurance and your Health Insurance.
- Bank tellers. (Maybe you need to stop using the ATM for a few weeks and go inside and meet some bank tellers).
- Cashiers at the checkout line at your favorite grocery store.
- Salespeople at your favorite Department stores
- Salesperson at your local hardware store
- Ticket takers at the movie theater, or even better the theater manager.
- The clerk at the 7-11 or local quick stop or circle K or Cumberland farms store or whatever variety of “quick shop” franchise you have in your area. For many of the night clerks, that is their second job. Preferably you catch a night or morning when the owner is there.
Now that you are aware of this huge market, the next thing that you want to start doing is to continue circulating, and start communicating, while cultivating and connecting with the one’s you want to work with.
These prospects are easy to talk to because they kind of know who you are and you kind of know who they are even though you may not know each other’s names.
- Do you work here part time of full time?
- Do you have another job?
- Do you like your job?
- What do you like best about your job?
- What DON’T you like about your job?
- Do you keep your eye out for other job opportunities?
- Do you see a future working here?
- Do you plan on working here the rest of your life?
- Will working here help you reach your goals?
- Are you open to offers?
- I help people develop a 5th paycheck a month to help pay bills and afford some of the extra things in life.
- I show people how they can start their own business with no investment and run it part time out of their home or apartment using a phone and a computer, and eventually earn enough money to quit your job.
- I show mothers how they can work from home and earn more money than if they went to a job so they are home with their children all day.
- I show people how they can work three weeks a month and take a one week vacation every month.
- I show people how they can eliminate stress from their life and move toward being at their BEST HEALTH ever!
- I show people how they can do something in their spare time for four years and then be in position to where they will never have to work again for the rest of their life.
