Through the years we have watched Donald Trump Rise and Fall, only to rise again. A man that truly understandings the ups and downs of business. It is believed that a good business man must be humbled a few time before greatness. This is the only way a good leader can be developed. A business person must know what they have to lose.

Donald Trump is a amazing person. His true leadership shows in his approach to his employees. He does not judge them for their education, but by their performance and ability to lead. Not all great leaders can have degrees. Street smarts and business experience can crush a college educated person.

Here are a few items we would like to point out about Donald Trump:
- A person that knows success and tells us to brag about. Blow your own horn.

Doing chores is one of the things no one likes to do and therefore they very rarely do it. This means if you decide right here and now that you will do your business chores, you will be ahead of 80% of your competition.

What do we mean by a business chore? A business chore is made up of many items. Here are some that you can put into your schedule and if you do them on a regular basis, you will get that feeling of satisfaction that comes with a good day of business just from following up:

First – Take a handful of the cards you collected from the last networking event (or trade show) you attended and put them into your database. You can use Outlook or other CRM type software to do this. The key here is that you create a category for the event. For example, if you attended a Chamber of Commerce networking event on July 20, you would create a category Chamber Events (you may also want to put the year). When you enter the contact information, you will then select Chamber Events as the category.

Did you know that people attending Chamber networking events only follow up 1% of the time? Here is your chance to put in the contact information and then…

Second – Decide what method you want to use to follow up with the contacts you just entered. If you want to send an email, I would suggest you have several drafts you can choose from and then customize it for that particular individual (remember we do business with individuals and not organizations). If you create your emails in Word or other word processing program ahead of you can prepare several versions for different scenarios. I suggest you create at least 5 different ones. Then all you need to do is pick the text, fill in the blanks, and send the email. What could be easier?

Email is certainly the easiest method of connection but not all email gets through because of spam blockers or the recipient does not recognize your name and trashes it before it is opened. You must look to using a number of connection methods including using the telephone.

Third – Use the contact information you have just entered to follow up your email with a phone call to set up a time to meet on the phone. The key here is that you are booking 15 to 20 minutes of phone time to discuss potential. You are not selling your products with this first phone call. Most often you will end up leaving a quick message and will recycle the redial until the next day. Don’t waste your time dialing the same person several times in one day.

Fourth – Even though you may have sent an email and made a quick phone call, you follow up chores for the day are not complete. If you think there may be business you can do with the prospect, you next chores is to send a card, personally addressed and written with envelope and stamp. Sound tedious? Well it does not have to be, I found a system that works beautifully! I use a program that does all of this for me. If you want to try it out go to www.SendOutCards.com11666 I have setup a guest account for you to play with (you can send out 1 or 2 cards on my nickel). The id and password to get into the account is midnight. The results I have obtained from sending out these cards has been overwhelming. Everyone I sent a follow up card to has responded – that is 100%. Amazing!

In summary there are three chores you need to put into your calendar for the first thing each morning. You should do these chores everyday to achieve maximum results

First, enter new contact information into your Outlook or CRM program.

Second, send an email to follow up.

Third, make a quick phone call to set up a telephone meeting.

Fourth, send a personal card in the mail (see the item above to get access to instant cards). If you can do these four chores everyday, your business will blossom.

eBay (A subset of List Building)
eBay? Free Advertising?

Ok, so technically an auction listings cost 35 cents But one sale can easily make you a profit, and youre allowed to sell nine of the same product in one auction at that price So this is one exception Im going to keep in this book because its really BETTER than free, all things considered.
So where does the Advertising part come in?
Simply place an information package of some kind, even if its just an article on your niche, and sell that infoproduct in an extremely cheap auction listing. Most people sell these things for 1 penny, although the difference between 1 cent and 35 cents really isnt that much of a difference to the buyers looking for this information.
Naturally there are no other costs like shipping or insurance, because delivery is a simple digital download. Further advertising is up to you, and it is always a matter of just giving eBay some additional fees to make your listing stand out more. If your listing is profiting, try starting the next listing as a Gallery item for another 35 cents, and go up from there until youve reached a point of maximum returns.
Heres the great part about this tactic: The winner of the listings email address is automatically sent to you via email, through eBay itself. Sell a bunch of those info packets, and youve built yourself one of your industrys most targeted lists!
Dont feel too left out if you havent mentally joined these two concepts together before now. Not too many people have, unless they bought the secret from someone on eBay themselves.
The fact is that eBay already has the lions share of traffic, and more importantly, of people in the purchasing mindset. Compare this to Googles Traffic, which is composed of people in the researching mindset. Its not hard to imagine why serious marketers prefer eBays traffic to Googles Traffic!
Advertising on eBay is as simple as being there in the first place, using a few well-searched keywords. Finding those keywords isnt too difficult either; all you really have to do is search for expired listings and sort by the price. This way youll easily see which auctions recently got the most money in your niche, and then all you have to do is model your campaign like theirs, listing your product under the same category!
Drawbacks?
Although the Delivery Time and the Quality of the traffic is world class, the Quantity is not infinite It depends on your niche, of course, but the competition on eBay can be fierce as new auctions will be placed above older ones all the time. Still, with people happy to search keywords youve still got a good chance of being found even between the first day or the last few minutes of the auction.
Effectiveness in drawing a large amount of traffic all depends on how good your auctions sales copy is. Luckily, you can model your auction off others that have done well in the past.
Make no mistake about it; selling infoproducts on eBay is a world-class list-building strategy. Thats about all there is to it, but most people overlook this very powerful way of building your list because it seems too awkward, or they dont want to take the time to put an info-packet together.
If you sell a product online, then youve got to face the fact eventually that this is some of the most targeted, buyer-frenzied traffic that exists. If youre not using this tactic, then youll not only be depriving your business of a constant stream of better-than-free advertising, but youll also be missing out on a large source of clients that you arent likely to be able to reach otherwise.
The fact is that everybody eBays nowadays. Thats why I can use eBay as a verb! In fact Ive seen a statistic recently that showed 14 of every 100 spent online, worldwide, is spent through eBay now, and this number is still growing! It is clearly the single biggest mover of money on the planet.
People from ALL walks of life can be found there, right when they have their credit cards in hand looking to spend I dont even know of another source of traffic that comes close!
When used correctly, you can build up a niche market list on any topic with this technique, and reach an unprecedented 50% or more of that market over time.

Just another weapon you put up in your arsenal of “guerilla methods”.
