As you all know, marketing (Successful marketing, that is) is the life-blood of any thriving business. In a nutshell, marketing is simply the process of getting (interested) eyeballs to look at your business. Another term for these "eyeballs" is "leads." And, the more targeted the leads, the more probability of successfully closing a sale.

Another important strategy that successful businesses employ is that they "test" the marketplace BEFORE launching a product or service, in an effort to determine if there is a need or desire of said product or service to begin with.

Okay, if you're still with me, I'd like to engage in a little "test" of the marketplace and see what, if any, need or desire exists for a concept that crossed my "table" just two days ago. I'd love to know what your thoughts are. Is it something YOU would desire or need? Please continue reading.

First, this message is intended for folks who are either already actively building their own business, or for those who are truly committed to starting and building one (by "truly committed" I mean someone who's not simply going to treat it as a hobby). If this does not describe you then you'll probably want to stop here, and thank you for reading this far 🙂

Okay, here we go.

Imagine this:

An infomercial is playing on television. In the infomercial, the "host" is interviewing a product specialist. The product specialist represents a proven health-based supplement. During the course of the 15-minute infomercial, a phone number appears and instructs viewers to call-in to order.

Are you with me so far?

Now, a viewer who is watching this infomercial has seen enough, all of the explaining is done, most of the objections are already handled (by way of a well-crafted interview process), and the viewer wants to buy. The viewer picks up the phone and calls.

Then ... *YOUR* phone rings. You grab a pre-written, proven script, you answer the phone, you read the script to the viewer, you take their order, and you earn a 50% commission.

So, knowing just that much, which of the following would best represent your reaction?

1) "Ya, you're on to something here, I think this will work."

2) "I would want the ability to take those calls."

3) "I personally don't think this is a worthwhile venture."

4) "I'm not sure."

5) Other

If you would be so kind as to respond w/ number between 1 & 5, I'd greatly appreciate it! And if you choose 5, please add a brief explanation.

Thank you so much!!!
