Meet George. He called me recently from his car and I got his permission to record it. You'll be inspired!
He's a member of OfflineBiz.com that was working delivering pizza until very recently. Now he's got clients lined up a mile long begging for his time so they can pay him for the simplest of services. George called OfflineBiz.com founder Jim Cockrum so excited he could barely be contained. George was in his car on his way to a weekend retreat with his wife (their first vacation in years). Jim asked to record the call...you'll have to listen to hear what happened next. He's partnering up with about a dozen different businesses using what he's learned as a member of Offlinebiz. He makes several references in the call to people that you might not know - this key will help: Fireman Mike: A moderator at OfflineBiz.com that is having huge success using OfflineBiz and the tools we teach in his hometown of Albuquerque New Mexico. Jim Orr: A moderator at OfflineBiz.com that is also an employee for Traffic Geyser & Monster Followup (the tool that George is using to impress the socks off of nearly everyone he is meeting these days) Audio edited to remove the 10+ easily recognized business names (including one of the largest national pizza chains in the U.S. Some points of interest in the audio: 7:30 George shares the power of Monster Followup 8:40 While going through a car wash he excitedly tells how he hooked up with his chamber of commerce to generate loads of new business 9:30 The audio is a bit fuzzy, but it comes right back. 11:50 George talks about how they are helping the local chamber of commerce and getting in front of dozens of new clients 12:25 George gets fired from a corporate job and starts delivering pizza for a nationally known chain - but that doesn't stop him from applying what he's just learned! 13:09 I talk about the difference between "being sold" and "establishing relationships" and some other advice on growing his business. 16:27 I talk about one way to demonstrate the power of the "monster follow up" system to a group. 18:42: Two types of partners you can look for to succeed quickly 19:55 A simple flyer campaign with a pizza delivery store ignited a sales spike. A few days spent handing out flyers enabled a simple text message campaign. Only 2 out of 200 businesses turned them down. They quickly grew a list of 600 eager fans including all contact info (including cell phones) so that they can sell pizza ON DEMAND via text messaging. RESULTS OF FIRST PROMO: On the slowest day of the week he sold 80 extra pizzas the FIRST TIME they blasted out a text message (this was when the list was only up to 300 contacts!) 28:11 Since Dec 1st he's added a laundry list of BIG NAME customers that have millions ready to invest in his ideas including a Ford car dealership, nationally syndicated radio shows and other mega clients begging for his help. 29:18 I tell George a bit about "outsourcing" and managing his time.
