I may as well ask, there are no stupid questions, right?

I've just purchased the 9x12 system and am going through the forum.

I just want to ask: if I want get out of the gate (hitting doors, emails, or making calls) come next Monday morning, how do I prepare seeing that I know very little about direct mail, postal rates, getting designers, ad coops, etc?

Can anyone give me a 5 step action plan? Something a little than "just get off your ass and DO IT!"

Listen to questions potential clients have. Learn from the many mistakes you will make.

The forum has tons of info, but you don't know how it will apply to your situation. Just go out and start selling and develop your own approach and system.

Ask for advice after hitting the streets with questions about your adventures.

Good luck.

Oh man, with over 10,000 (or more?) threads/posts, how could you not feel "lost"? Tom Gaddis comes to mind... I do not think he has EVER posted in here, well, by force he might have, lol but the bottom line to him was, he bought the wso, got the concept and that was it! And, he is now living PROOF that this is totally possible. He outsourced the designing of the ads, paid a premium for having it done and it looked FABUOLOS!

As far as I know, he is still making mint, being the only one on Hawaii.

STAY AWAY FROM THE FORUM, there is no worse time-waster,
