To grow, you have to focus—
you have to learn to say NO

Identify Strategy or TacticDo what Sam used to do: Silver Restoration CLINICS
Sam would set up accounts with jewelry stores in different cities in the southeastern US. He would arrange for them to run an ad in the newspaper saying the silver expert would be in town for just a day or two, so if you have any old or damaged silver, stop by and meet him.
He’d take the orders and payments…pay the store a percentage of the sales he generated, keep a piece for himself and send the silver to us for restoration.

OK…it worked. So now what?Decide which cities to target• Start with cities served by Southwest Airlines (less
costly to travel plus no baggage fees)• Reward new accounts for referrals who do Events• ID other larger cities
But like TW said…I can’t do it all by myself! So I have to hire some sales help!
