However, eventhough this process can work, I'm sure you can find even more times where it won't. Therefore I will really look forward to the list of "what it takes" that you mention. Secondly I'm a bit curious about you closing the deal by phone. Now I know that you're absolutely great at what you do and a closing rate of 75% is VERY good. I'm pretty sure that 75% is not average closing rates in the industry :) Regards, Mikael Marc, it is great to hear the results you have gotten.

Me personally I would not have mailed for a $59 plan... There are a few things you need to abide by to make it work. If you are in dental industry I would have gone for the zoom whitening rather then a dental plan... At around $700 to have zoom whitening done (at least here in Australia) then that would be a potentially good product. As for the idea or skill.... Partnerships can be your friend here. If you dont feel you have a skill find someone who does and be their action. Hey Jim,

Didn't even get a stupid T-Shirt. Seriously though, the impact of your post is skewed just a tiny bit by the huge payoff per sale. I've done the "mail every day until your tongue is bent and slimy" thing for my $59.00 annually dental plan. Virtually no results. Oh, a few sales for a month of lickin' and stickin'. Three x's $59.00 = $177.00 gross. No big hungry crowd and at 59 bucks it takes a BIG CROWD! Now, if each sale was worth 2 grand a month then lickin' and stickin' = $6,000 and I can do a lot of linkin' and stickin' for $72,000 a year! Yes, my hat is off to you guys with all due respect but we (the rest of us) still need a dynamite idea or skill that brings in the big bucks per sale. That's the real challenge. Hey, click my link and go buy a Rolex so I can make 50 cents from Ebay. Been there done that. Didn’t even get a stupid T-Shirt.
