A Lesson From The Trenches
by: John Colanzi
Before I became addicted to the internet, one of my hobbies was mail order.
One lesson I learned was that mail order dealers are willing to share their ideas, if you're willing to take the time to listen.
I still remember a letter I received from an old timer by the name of David. For some reason he decided to share how he got started in mail order.
His story is an amazing account of how to think like a winner.
David's first exposure to mail order was through one of those "How To Make $100 A Day" ads. He sent in his money and eagerly waited for his money making plan.
A few weeks later he received his envelope in the mail. He opened it up and low and behold he'd been hustled.
The secret plan turned out to be nothing more than a letter telling him to post classified ads like the one he had responded to and send the letter to buyers telling them to do the same.
He felt cheated and was ready to give up. After thinking about that letter for a few days, the light bulb went off in his head.
If someone was making money sending out this one page letter, imagine how much he could make offering real products.
That shift in his thinking was the beginning of his life long career in mail order.
I'm sure I'm not the only person he shared that story with. It makes me wonder how many people have been helped, because one person had the vision to see not what was, but what could be.
By sharing his story, David helped me. I hope by passing it along, David can help you.
