<br />
Your Answering Machine can be used to make MORE MONEY than you've<br />
ever made in your whole life! People with absolutely no business<br />
or marketing skills have been successful with Answering Machine<br />
Marketing methods. Recently, a young couple in Gossell, Kansas,<br />
went from three hundred to three million dollars, marketing<br />
money-making information in the form of books, manuals, and<br />
reports using a simple telephone answering machine.<br />
<br />
This can only prove that the American Dream is still alive and<br />
well. this couple has also proved that if you have:<br />
<br />
(1) A Great Idea; (2) Believe in your ability to make it happen;<br />
(3) Non-Stop motivation to take action now!, and (4) If you<br />
persist...You Can Have It All!<br />
<br />
UNLIMITED MONEY MAKING POTENTIAL<br />
<br />
The money-making potential of a simple telephone answering<br />
machine is almost unlimited. So how do I use my answering<br />
machine, and what do I sell? Good question! The possibilities are<br />
endless! Many people are making a lot of money selling "How-To"<br />
information in the form of books, reports, manuals, directories.<br />
Topics include: Home Worker Guides, A Government Job Guide,<br />
Making Money As A Free-Lance Writer, Making Money With Your<br />
Pick-Up Truck, Making Money At U.S. Government Auctions, and<br />
more. However, the telephone answering machine ad approach can be<br />
adapted to many, many different products and services: Insurance<br />
or real Estate selling, home mortgage reductions, home<br />
improvements, Seminars of all kinds, Dating Services, and any<br />
kind of restaurant, social events, and 1001 other types of<br />
services.<br />
<br />
HOW IT WORKS<br />
<br />
A small display ad, or an inexpensive classified ad is placed in<br />
daily or weekly newspapers inviting the reader to call a recorded<br />
message for more free information on your product, service or<br />
event. Using a well-written, benefit-rich script, you, or a<br />
professional speaker, record a 2 or 3 minute message that entices<br />
the caller to do one of the following:<br />
<br />
(1) Leave his/her name and address and request that the order be<br />
shipped C.O.D.<br />
<br />
(2) Leave his/her name and address to request more "free<br />
information" be sent.<br />
<br />
A third method that some have tired concerns credit card<br />
ordering. however, most operators have found that this does not<br />
work very well. people do not like to leave their charge card<br />
number at the end of a recorded message. A fourth method that has<br />
had some success, asks the caller to order direct from the phone<br />
message, by sending a check or money order. Which of the two<br />
primary options works best? There are several advocates of each<br />
method.<br />
<br />
Obviously, if you are offering a high-ticket item, or a<br />
specialized service (real estate, insurance, multi-level<br />
marketing, etc...) you would want simply to capture the callers<br />
address and/or phone number for the follow-up.<br />
<br />
If you're selling a relatively low-priced item (less than $50),<br />
such as a book, gift item, etc., you can either use the C.O.D or<br />
inquiry method.<br />
<br />
To ship C.O.D., or not, is a marketing option that confronts<br />
every marketer who has a reasonably priced item, and who wants to<br />
use a recorded message as a selling tool.<br />
<br />
The major advantage of C.O.D. shipping is that the order<br />
instructions are captured on your answering machine, and can be<br />
processed and shipped immediately.<br />
<br />
The major disadvantage to the C.O.D. method is that it is likely<br />
that 40% to 55% of all orders shipped will come back to you<br />
because the UPS driver or U.S. Postal Route Carrier (C.O.D.<br />
orders can be shipped either by United Parcel Service or by U.S.<br />
Mail) could not make delivery and get paid. that's not good!<br />
<br />
Proponents of C.O.D. shipping claim, even with the huge amount of<br />
undeliverable, that this method is still their favorite. There<br />
are three entrepreneurs, one in Utah, one in California, another<br />
in Arizona, who each are making millions of dollars per year<br />
selling books and reports, via the C.O.D method. it's nice to<br />
keep it simple. you run your ads, you use a hard sell recorded<br />
telephone script. the callers leave their address, and you ship.<br />
<br />
Marketers who hate C.O.D. shipping usually can't emotionally<br />
handle all those undeliverable, unpaid for shipments. C.O.D.<br />
shipping does work for some. if you can "psychologically" handle<br />
the big return factor, it may make you the kind of money you have<br />
always dreamed of making.<br />
<br />
Her's an important marketing tip: If you do get involved in C.O.D<br />
shipping, send a postcard to the responder one day before you<br />
ship the order. Say something like this:<br />
<br />
Thank you for your order for our amazing (fill in the book's<br />
title or the name of the product here), your order is being<br />
processed and will be shipped immediately. Please be sure to have<br />
$_______ (total amount) available to pay the UPS driver when he<br />
calls.<br />
<br />
SPECIAL FREE BONUS<br />
<br />
In addition to receiving the (fill in product name), we are also<br />
including a very special free bonus with your order. We know<br />
you'll love it!<br />
<br />
Thanks again for ordering. We appreciate having you as a<br />
customer.<br />
<br />
Signed___________________________________________________________<br />
Name and Address Of Your Company<br />
<br />
This technique works just great! One marketer was able to reduce<br />
returns by over 15%, by using this little ploy that added up to<br />
tens of thousands of dollars in one year!<br />
<br />
What should your free bonus be? Put on your thinking cap! you can<br />
come up with some inexpensive "widget" or low-cost report, that<br />
relates to what you're selling. If you're going to use the C.O.D.<br />
method---You must do this!<br />
<br />
Another option to the C.O.D. method is the two-step inquiry<br />
method. Sure, it's much slower. First you capture the name and<br />
address of the voice responder. Next you rush him or her (it's<br />
wise to mail within 48 hours--or less!) your sales literature. no<br />
huge ego-deflating returns, plus your printed sales literature<br />
can make a much stronger, and longer presentation than a 2 or 3<br />
minute electronic script.<br />
<br />
WHY IT WORKS<br />
<br />
Why does a simple answering machine work so well. We have<br />
discovered that many people who are usually not "mail responsive"<br />
will pick up a telephone and call a recorded message. this is<br />
particularly true of newspaper readers.<br />
<br />
So what must you do to get started in this exciting and highly<br />
profitable business! Well, let me give you the necessary steps<br />
that you must take to put this information into action.<br />
<br />
(1) Create/or locate a product or service that is highly in<br />
demand by a large group of people.<br />
<br />
(2) Write a classified ad and sales message (almost like a<br />
commercial) to sell the product or service. record the sales<br />
message onto a simple answering machine.<br />
<br />
(3) Place your classified ad in a newspaper that offers the<br />
cheapest rates (usually a very small paper or Pennysaver, etc)<br />
and put the phone number that is being used by the answering<br />
machine that has your recorded script on it in the advertisement.<br />
<br />
(4) Your customer will see your ad, call your number, listen to<br />
your sales message and order.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9187589037642498427.post-22089226653285749232011-09-06T19:01:00.000-07:002019-09-12T19:01:43.340-07:00HOW TO OBTAIN A MERCHANT'S CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT<br />
<br />
It's a proven fact that mail order marketers can increase sales<br />
substantially by offering their customers a credit card option.<br />
<br />
Some marketers enjoy increases of 10% to 30% in sales when they<br />
get up with a Visa/Mastercard merchants account. Others have<br />
reported increases up to a whopping 100%, or even more!<br />
<br />
If all of your sales are made by mail, you can expect to up your<br />
total sales by at least 10%, and more likely 15% to 30% simply by<br />
offering the credit card option. If you plan to use the telephone<br />
a great deal as a marketing tool, offering a credit card buying<br />
option could double or triple your sales.<br />
<br />
Credit card buying is seductive. Many people like the option of<br />
buying something today that they won't have to pay for until<br />
later. Also, most consumers tend to spend more using their<br />
plastic, than when they're writing a check, or paying cash.<br />
<br />
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME A CREDIT CARD MERCHANT<br />
<br />
There are many good reasons why you can benefit from securing<br />
credit card merchants status. Here are some of them...<br />
<br />
* People with credit cards are more affluent than those without<br />
plastic. They can afford to spend more money.<br />
* They tend to be better "credit risks", if you want to sell<br />
"open account."<br />
<br />
* Overall, they buy more by mail than those without cards.<br />
<br />
* You cannot effectively sell from commercials on radio or TV<br />
without offering credit card purchasing. Visa and Mastercard are<br />
by far, the cards most consumers have.<br />
<br />
* They often will make credit card purchases even when they are<br />
short on cash, and/or when their checking account balance is low.<br />
<br />
* You can sell on installments, obtaining permission to charge<br />
the buyer's card on a monthly basis.<br />
<br />
* You can ship goods with the secure knowledge that payment has<br />
been secured before shipment is made.<br />
<br />
THE PROBLEM<br />
<br />
By now, you're probably convinced that accepting credit card<br />
orders is a darn good idea. But how can you obtain credit card<br />
merchants status? Truth is, it's not always a piece of cake. In<br />
recent years banks have been playing hard-ball with many business<br />
people, especially anyone doing business by mail. It's the same<br />
old story, a handfull of mail order crooks have almost totally<br />
screwed-up a good thing for honest dealers. The major credit card<br />
companies have told the banks to be very, very selective in<br />
issuing merchant accounts to mail order sellers and home business<br />
operators.<br />
<br />
Because a few scum-bags have ripped off some banks, and run off<br />
with the money, your local friendly banker may not be too<br />
"friendly" when you tell him you want a merchants account. It has<br />
become increasingly more difficult for mail order sellers to<br />
secure a merchants account, and if you only sell by mail, but<br />
also do consider setting you up for Visa and Mastercard<br />
processing. That happens to be reality...but always remember<br />
WHERE THERE IS A WILL THERE MUST BE A WAY! In this special<br />
valuable report I'm going to cover some of the best way to obtain<br />
your merchant's status.<br />
<br />
THE BEST WAY TO OBTAIN YOUR MERCHANT ACCOUNT<br />
<br />
Although your banker may have already told you that they "cannot"<br />
accept you for a merchant account, the simple, unvarnished truth<br />
is that he/she can. Visa and Mastercard do set some rigid<br />
guidelines for their affiliated banks to follow, but ultimately<br />
the banks must approve or disapprove each application. Excuses<br />
concerning "doing business by mail", "operating a home-based<br />
business", "not having a long business track record", are just<br />
that-excuses! A somewhat polite way to tell you "no"!<br />
<br />
Could a mail order businessman, (books, home-study<br />
courses, etc.) but how also conducts his business exclusively in his<br />
home get a Merchant Account? Fat chance of him getting a merchants<br />
account. Right? Wrong: He happily processes credit card orders for his customers will full<br />
knowledge and cooperation from his bank. How did he do it? He never<br />
stopped asking for what he wanted.<br />
<br />
When his own bank refused to even consider him for a merchant<br />
account, due to the fact that he was in mail order, and also<br />
doing business from his home, he beat path to several other<br />
banks.<br />
<br />
The first four banks he visited also said "no", (2 were large<br />
institutions, 2 mid-size), so he decided to try some smaller<br />
banks. Guess what? The very first bank he went to said "Maybe".<br />
<br />
They asked him to transfer his account to their bank, so that<br />
they could "monitor" it for six months. He told the bank<br />
official that he would consider their proposal, and the proceeded<br />
to another small bank one block up the street.<br />
<br />
He liked what the second small bank said. They said "Yes!" All he<br />
needed to do was establish a checking account with them and<br />
maintain a modest $1,000, business checking account balance. This<br />
he quickly did!<br />
<br />
He is not unique. But he was very persistent and kept asking<br />
for what he wanted, and you must also. Probably th two best ways<br />
to get a merchant account are:<br />
<br />
(1) Keep pestering your own bank about granting you charge card<br />
privileges, until they agree to do so.<br />
<br />
(2) If your bank outright refuses, make a list of all banks in<br />
your immediate area, putting some special attention on small<br />
banks. Next, get out a pair of your most comfortable shoes and<br />
get to it! Ask...Ask...Ask..Ask.. Ask! You have nothing to lose,<br />
and much to gain by being persistent, and by constantly asking<br />
for what you want (that's good advice in all areas-business and<br />
personal) of your life!<br />
