This works great!

Can you find the pattern here?

Age 8: Sent door to door to sell yarn-covered coat hangers to help put food on the table. When sales got tough, offered to leave them a couple Coat Hangers with a Kung Fu Grip overnight to try. This worked great.

Age 11: Delivering papers for the Riverside Press-Enterprise. Won most of the subscription contests by offering a Sunday paper for free and then getting them to buy a subscription. This worked great.

Age 12: Paint curb numbers for homeowners. Knock on doors offering to paint it first and then get paid. Huge take rates. This worked great.

Age 15-16: Cold called for Solar Appointments. Offered free quotes and spiffs just to set an appointment. Set 20+ appointments between 5pm - 9pm. Got paid per hour and $100 for every sale the salesperson closed. Often got paid more than his father. This worked great.

Joined Navy at age 17...

Age 23: Became youngest instructor at the US Navy Advanced Electronic School in San Diego, CA. How? By offering to fix any and all electronic equipment even if it wasn't his "job" for no extra pay. This worked great.

Age 25: Got a broker at Merrill Lynch to sponsor him to get his Series 7 license even though most firms didn't hire someone without a college degree. How? By cold calling and offering to cold call for the broker for no money if the firm would sponsor him to take the test. Turned out the broker was a prince of a guy who wouldn't let him work for free and paid him well. This worked great.

Age 26: Cold calling for a bond house to rich neighborhoods. Had to follow company rules. This DID NOT WORK! The only way new accounts were opened was after hours, calling and offering a free report FIRST - against company rules, but this worked great.

Age 27: Moved from California to Arkansas. Started an auto detail shop with his brother. Cold called auto dealers and offered a free detail, if they liked it then asked for more dirty cars. We had so much business we outgrew our spot in 3 months. This worked great.

Age 28: Started a fax advertising business. Cold call restaurant owners and offer to send their menu and coupon (free) to 200+ offices in town. The next day after the fax goes out their phone rings off the hook for carry out orders. Then they'd buy ads for 3 months to 1 year.

Age 28: Offer to PAY for carryout menus for restaurants. Almost always got a "yes." Then place ads on the menus. One would always be for an affiliate offer. This worked great!

Age 30: Sold Point of Sale systems to restaurants. What was the #1 way that almost always worked? Programming their menu in the computer FIRST and then letting them USE it for a week or so. From COLD to 25,000 to $100,000 POS systems were sold this way. This worked great.

Age 38: Put up a 3-page tutorial online about how to get listed in Google in under 48 hours with NO WEBSITE needed. It was free. Built a huge email list. Sold a lot of stuff. Peeps are still buying to this day. This worked great.

Age 40: Offered 75% to 100% of commissions to sell relationship advice program. Offered free tools, advice and support. Was a top ten clickbank product from 2008 until 2013. Sold in 77 countries. This worked great .

Age 42: Offered marketing consulting on a paid for performance basis. Typically 10% to 25% rev share on any new revenue over their average. Challenge: Current audience didn't have the businesses it would make sense to consult for. Process to overcome challenge: cold email and offer a free consult to determine potential upside. Never lacked for partners. This worked great.

Age 49: Offered licensing with a big upfront fee. This was TOUGH! Started offering it with bigger royalty percentage but with zero advance. Boom! 90% take rate. This worked great.

So...

There are at least two main patterns here.

Do you see them?

If you do...

Practice a bit and you'll be UNSTOPPABLE!
