So I hand delivered some packages containing choclate money (Sinterklaas themed gift), an hand written Poem (also sinterklaas themed) and a sales letter (Sales letter themed). I used bought adresses, but I only went to a Industrial area so next time i'll probably just go there and put the package in any building that looks occupied. However, follow up would be problematic as I would not have the phone numbers. Results so far: nothing. I called the people I send the package to (only 7 so far as is was a lot of work). I got four people on the phone, three of which were decision makers. All were very possitive about the package, but were not looking to switch bookkeeping services to me. Two of the companies on the list did not exist anymore. Couple of things I learned: - Sending people chocolates buys you a phonecall - When people have found a bookkeeper they like, they stick (which also translates in a high retention rate when I sign a client) - Delivery is very complex in some areas Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Something urgent popped up. Apologies. We'll go live next week at the same time, check the calendar for info. Hate to do this, but it's needed. Forgive me.

Hey Gang, The first Q&A is scheduled for the 3rd of October, Friday, @1pm. Bring your questions, and I'll bring the answers. This Q&A will happen on the first Friday of every month. I will take questions live, but I would much prefer if you left them in the comments below, or create a dedicated post if they are more complex. For those planning to attend without a question - that's your prerogative, but it's entirely stupid. Almost no business is without a constraint. If you have no idea where your constraints lie, simply ask yourself this: 1) Do you need more leads? 2) Do you have enough leads, but not enough are booking calls? 3) Do you have enough calls, but not enough are closing? 4) Do you have enough sales, but they only buy once? 5) Do you have too many new customers, and repeat customers creating capacity issues? If none of the above are applicable. Congrats. Let me know, and I'll create a shrine in your honour. If one or more are applicable. You must solve the one furthest towards the top of the list, and that should be the basis of your question. You can quite literally ask "How do I get more leads, Connor?" You should be attacking the singular biggest constraint in your business for thirty days at a time, every month, until you or your responsibility for the business cease to exist. If you are struggling, if things aren't as rosy as you'd like, if things are tough - regardless if you are a start-up, or making tens of millions per year - It's because you are not aggressively, and sole-mindedly attacking the singular bottleneck in your business. So here's an easy recipe for success, and accountability: - Turn up to the inaugural QA with a question about your constraint - Get a clear answer, and guidance - Attack it for a month - Turn up to the next QA with the results - Ask another question about your constraint - Repeat until you get whatever it is you want So ask your questions below or in the community feed. Give me context. And you will get the same help other business owners have paid in excess of £36k for. The same help that made them much more in return.

I am looking for a person/company to run a direct marketing campaign. I have tried it my self at a very amature level . I need a recommendation for somebody you have used and had good results. The world is full of people who talk the talk but are not capable of producing results Thank you love you long time xx
