[Prospecting Tools] *Unbranded* Samples & Sales Ammunition Available

[Bob Ross]

Finally! Grab some unbranded samples.
And...
Keep your pitch on course at the same time!


Hey everyone, it's been a long time coming but I finally have some truly unbranded samples ready for you. Boy do I wish I had these when I first started. Not only can you pick these up for use as prospecting tools to show the finished product, but also you get some bulletpoints to help keep your pitch on course and effective.

In fact, the back of the 9x12 branded card and the neat-o 4x9 rack cards I'm giving you can practically do the selling themselves. Even if you don't want to pick up samples, I guarantee you'll find some value in watching this video in regards to what to talk about when pitching.


Regardless of whether you pick up samples or not, watch this, seriously:

Awesome, lots of good info and marketing on these. I like the idea of using them for a pitch as well as education.

What are these selling for?

Thanks!

Jake,

are the digital files that are included with options 2-5 the same full resolution print-ready digital files as option 1?

I still like warrior+ better for the traffic it sends to me for WSO of the day but jvzoo is growing on me I think. They're facebook share thing seems really cool, where you can set it to give a discount if the buyer shares it on facebook.

Thanks for ordering the samples, I can't wait to get them all out!


Jake,

Yes, you get package 1 free with the physical orders.

I watched the video it was really good, thanks.
I'm also recommending to anyone thinking of buying any of these packages to watch the video it's well worth it.

[greggorio28]

Ive already got mine on order as well, nice job Bob and I am SO EXCITED to get these into all of your hands!

Grab em now while they last my friends….between this kit and Zen's Mastery you will have the most powerful tools to make biz owners melt in our hands. I have 3 meetings lined up for next week and nearly 10 hot leads to follow up with and Ive barely lifted a finger. I can't wait to show them these print pieces….I really feel like thats the deal sinker. When they can actually see and feel these babies in their hands. Once you land that meeting via phone/email….you would almost have to try hard NOT to get that sale!

Cheers everyone, 2014 is gonna be a big one for all of us. If you've been sitting on the fence (like I was for the last few months) now's the time to JUMP!

Hey Jake,

Good video "littered" with lots of golden nuggets. LOL Pure proper prose to position yourself positively with your prospect. A fine but of alliteration but seriously successful language equals successful sales & semantics are so important.

I am adding your "redeemable offers" to the sales dictionary. So on the left side we have those bad words with negative connotations that you never want to use in sales presentations and the right side has their replacements for smooth sales speak so successful sales are swift & sure.

Jake I also purchased the cards pack... How do I get to post in this thread as i have purchased 3 different products!!?? Im proteinman

[Steve]

These look great Jake,

No chance of producing some UK sample 9X12 postcards and rack cards with £ instead of $ on the sample ads and wording please?

If this isn't cost effective to do could you produce some print ready UK PDF and Word samples of both please we can buy so UK members can get there sample post and rack cards printed locally and edit as they see fit.

Many thanks:-)

I just emailed gregg, yeah definitely we can I should have thought of that already. I can change the 9x12 to A4 and change the dollar signs. Steve I'll send you the digital files can you look them over and tell me what things would need to change to fit the UK market? Spelling, wording, etc.

Will probably need to change the mailbox image on the back as I'm guessing they look different there?

Thanks very much Jake. Really appreciate this! Sure I would be glad to cast an eye over them for you. I think I know what you mean about the mailbox image. Yes you are right about mail boxes, we don't have them over here just letter boxes in the front door of a house so may be that could be an alternative image. Also the 1st image on the back would be a penny instead of a cent and the 4th image could be £20 or £50 notes instead of dollar bills. Hope this helps.

Terrific, look forward to seeing them the UK versions when it's convenient for you!

[eharrisjr]

Thanks Bob,

Now I have my business cards...lol

[Mitch]

Bob:

What are any references to EDDM on these cards? Since I'm in Canada I'd like to know what references to EDDM there are if any. Looking at the video (which is awesome) I think the onlyreference was on the backside of the 9x12 postcard itself in the lower left. What does that say exactly? Though its a small reference to EDDM, I'm wondering if buying the cards with anything related to EDDM would be a negative.

Thanks much and this is truly a great share...

[photoads]

Hi Mitch

There is no reference to EDDM that I can see on the digital samples

[sixthflag]

Wow!

I think having these will make a really BIG difference!

[scottie]

Jake,
I got an email today from your assistant saying the samples haven't come in yet from the printer. Just curious as to ETA?

[Bob Ross]

Hey Mitch, no reference to EDDM. The little text that's on the bottom cites a survey showing 98% of people bring in their mail daily.

Scottie, the postcards will be here Friday and the Rack cards monday, so I'll be shipping everything out Monday and Sarah will have tracking numbers sent to everyone in their email!

[scottie]

Jake,
thanks for the reply....I can't wait to get them.

[proteinman]

Jake, i sent in my email and shippin address but didnt hear back...did you send a return email?

[WayneClayton]

Jake I bought last week and want to edit. Are these available in a layered form. I am use CS2 and it all opens as a single image.
Thanks, Wayne

[Bob Ross]

If you picked up the editable version they will be in layered form which will work totally fine for cs2.

I'm guessing you didn't know and either bought physical samples or just the digital files. Send me an email or PM with what you picked up and I'll figure it out for ya.

[Mr Subtle]

Jake I bought last week and want to edit. Are these available in a layered form. I am use CS2 and it all opens as a single image.
When you opened the PSD in CS2 did a dialogue box come up and then you clicked it a number of times? If so, you were clicking on the wrong button. If you were clicking on the left it will come up as a single image. If you click on the right button you should get the layers. (It could be the other way around on the buttons. If it doesn't open correctly one way, close it and open it again and click the other button instead.)

[WayneClayton]

Jake and MS. Thanks. I did download the right form, just opened it up the wrong way as MS said. It must the the painkillers... sometimes seeing colors when you wave your hand is not always a good thing. :)

[scottie]

Jake,
I just bought the editable Photoshop files but it redirected me to the members area bobrossoffline.com/members. I see on the right side the products I bought and it shows the 9x12 Prospecting Editable Samples link but when I click it nothing happens. I'm not sure what happened?

Idk why it does that sometimes, I use DAP for the site and it's very good but I still haven't gotten used to all it's little quirks. Here's an easy solution, go to the top navbar and click "my content" and you'll find the editable sample product there with the link.

[scottie]

Jake,
I went to "my content" after signing in but it shows a giant padlock. It doesn't give me access to any of the content there.

[scottie]

It shows an article: "How to choose between EDDM or Targeted Mail".

[Bob Ross]

Scottie, I'm going to email you and send you direct links. I can't find your email listed in the content area so I don't know what to look for and figure out the problem. I'm sending an email now.

[DavidB]

Got my sample in the mail. They look and feel GREAT. Wish you had these out two years ago. THANKS JAKE.

I got my samples a few days ago also.

I totally agree with you....these are really nice and I'm going to be a bit more confident when I walk in with these.

The talking points are great...simple but to the point.

Jake, you did a fine job on these...Thank You!

Yeah the idiots at jvzoo have not yet approved the button since it's over $50 or some nonsense. I'll PM you in a moment and process it for you manually.

Fantastic, these will be going out possibly today but no later than tomorrow. You'll get a tracking # in your email, you need to email me your shipping address though to be sure it gets there properly!

edit: the digital files were just sent via PM to you.

Thanks again!

[theaer]

Awesome Jake! I didn't get an email about this earlier or I would have jumped on it WEEKS (or at least days) ago!

Thanks again!

[theaer]

Jake, one quick comment:

I purchased the $22 option. My assumption based on how the buy buttons are laid out was that the editable files were included.... the Thank You page gave me the link to buy the digital files. You may want to make that a bit more clear? I know it confused me.

Anyway, paid the extra and got the editable. Thanks again!

[Bob Ross]

Ugh I hate when the emails don't go through! Sorry about that I wish I had more control over it.

Sorry for the confusion, I had put the editable files about a week after so I probably didn't even think to change the sales page to make it more clear, I'll do that now.

Hi Jake,

I bought the $15 options but would like the UK version when they come available if possible please.

Thanks

Andy

[DiamondPed]

Hi Jake,

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to get copies of these GREAT cards.

Living in the UK I could only imagine what these cards looked like
& as importantly, felt like.

The postage was SUPER fast, I bought 22/23 Dec & they were delivered on 28th
to Scotland UK !!!

I'm also keen to get a copy of the UK version .... if you need any help with images,
wording etc I would be glad to help out !

Thanks again,

PeterC

[Mitch]

Just received my order for the 9x12's and rack cards. Very nice!!!

[Bob Ross]

Thanks for enjoying them everybody.

About UK cards, Gregg is actually working on them and will likely have digital files available so you can print them out within days.

Hi

I have NEVER used Photoshop and have CS2 installed and want to try an modify for UK use. I eventually get a layered file following advise above with ads listed as "Vector smart object", but I still can't modify details in each ad to change to £ for $ etc. Is that what I should expect or should I be able to edit each ad too?

Just trying to get something going to be able to start working Monday 6th and not have to wait for graphics person to do it.

Cheers

Hey there .. I paid the additional $9 dollars for editable format and I also sent email but have not received them as of yet nor received a response.

Bob, do you know if those editable PSD files can be opened and edited in GIMP? or Faststone image viewer?

[Zenyatta]

Bob, do you know if those editable PSD files can be opened and edited in GIMP? or Faststone image viewer?

Hey Thomas,

Not sure about Faststone but I have edited psd files in Gimp. But if you need real Seattle samples (16pt with Full UV) let me know I've got hundreds and another 10k more coming in Monday.

Thanks, Zen! Yes, GIMP will do it, but I will still have to convert the file to CMYK. Hopefully, XnViewMP will do the conversion, so it's print ready... grrrr.

I think I already have few of your large cards (your last edition?), but unbranded or my own is more suitable since you and Veronica might be targeting the same areas. 2014 will be FUN!!! lol :D

[Osman_m]

does option 1 include both the 9x12 sample and also the rack card sample files?

[Bob Ross]

yes it does

[ccrosson]

I am just getting around to reading through the material of yours that I've purchased. Must say I like the concept. However, the material I'm reading talks of 8 or 9 unique offers on each side layed out so that the "Redeemable Offers" on each side can be clipped without damaging the offers on the opposite side. Is that the same concept for this 7 offer card? Looking at the video for these sample packs it doesn't look like that can be done. Am I wrong? I'd also like to know:
- If you have unbranded samples of the 8/9 lay outs available?
- The option to buy editable versions for extra $9.00. What format are the editable files? What software must/can be used to edit them?
- With the digitally ready files we can order reprints from other print shops, correct? Or is your pricing for additional order so low I wouldn't want to?
- Does the listed pricing include shipping and handling?
- What is approximate delivery time for orders?
- Do you recommend a designer from creating client adds and what would be an expected turn around time?

I apologize for all of the questions.

Thanks

[Bob Ross]

You can do the reversable cutouts with any layout pretty much. If your order the 10 pack here (http://bobrossoffline.com/members/samples) I'll send you a recent campaign that has 14 spaces on it so you can see how they work in real life. I'll also put flyer versions in as well.

The $9 editable version gives you the print-ready files plus editable PSD and InDesign source files for editing.

Price includes shipping and handling. It goes out priority mail so it's fast. I generally send them out the day of or next day, and depending on where you are you'll probably get them in 2 postal days.

I can highly recommend Gary Hummel at garyhummel@verizon.net for design, he generally turns them around next day.

No problem asking questions, it's always better to ask in here than over email so that everyone can benefit.

[ccrosson]

Wow! Awesomely quick response.
Have you or any of our other forum members noticed which offer style seems to sells quicker/better between the 7 or 9 offers per side? I also wanted to ask about editing. You mean they are editable in either Photoshop or Indesign, correct?
Thanks

It's just really a matter of how many you can sell and how small you want the ads to be as a result of it. There are some here who just do 6 per side as well. I like 7-8 per side personally.

Yep they are editable in photoshop or indesign.

[cbuckley00]

I just want to make sure I've got you correctly, you use garyhummel@verizon.net for your 7-8 for your 9X12 cards?
Just adding to my rolodex is my reason for asking.

[McKattry]

I can't seem to open the files in indesign CS2. Is there a better way to do this? I'm completely new to the Adobe programs, so I may be missing something. I'm trying to open the sample indesign document. Can anyone please help?
