THE HUNTING

The Bellman looked uffish, and wrinkled his brow.
  "If only you'd spoken before!
It's excessively awkward to mention it now,
  With the Snark, so to speak, at the door!

"We should all of us grieve, as you well may believe,
  If you never were met with again--
But surely, my man, when the voyage began,
  You might have suggested it then?

"It's excessively awkward to mention it now--
  As I think I've already remarked."
And the man they called "Hi!" replied, with a sigh,
  "I informed you the day we embarked.

"You may charge me with murder--or want of sense--
  (We are all of us weak at times):
But the slightest approach to a false pretense
  Was never among my crimes!

"I said it in Hebrew--I said it in Dutch--
  I said it in German and Greek:
But I wholly forgot (and it vexes me much)
  That English is what you speak!"

"'Tis a pitiful tale," said the Bellman, whose face
  Had grown longer at every word:
"But, now that you've stated the whole of your case,
  More debate would be simply absurd.

Farewell to the Farm

The coach is at the door at last;
The eager children, mounting fast
And kissing hands, in chorus sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

To house and garden, field and lawn,
The meadow-gates we swang upon,
To pump and stable, tree and swing,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

And fare you well for evermore,
O ladder at the hayloft door,
O hayloft where the cobwebs cling,
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

Crack goes the whip, and off we go;
The trees and houses smaller grow;
Last, round the woody turn we sing:
Good-bye, good-bye, to everything!

Travel

I should like to rise and go
Where the golden apples grow;--
Where below another sky
Parrot islands anchored lie,
And, watched by cockatoos and goats,
Lonely Crusoes building boats;--
Where in sunshine reaching out
Eastern cities, miles about,
Are with mosque and minaret
Among sandy gardens set,
And the rich goods from near and far
Hang for sale in the bazaar;--
Where the Great Wall round China goes,
And on one side the desert blows,
And with the voice and bell and drum,
Cities on the other hum;--
Where are forests hot as fire,
Wide as England, tall as a spire,
Full of apes and cocoa-nuts
And the negro hunters' huts;--
Where the knotty crocodile
Lies and blinks in the Nile,
And the red flamingo flies
Hunting fish before his eyes;--
Where in jungles near and far,
Man-devouring tigers are,
Lying close and giving ear
Lest the hunt be drawing near,
Or a comer-by be seen
Swinging in the palanquin;--
Where among the desert sands
Some deserted city stands,
All its children, sweep and prince,
Grown to manhood ages since,
Not a foot in street or house,
Not a stir of child or mouse,
And when kindly falls the night,
In all the town no spark of light.
There I'll come when I'm a man
With a camel caravan;
Light a fire in the gloom
Of some dusty dining-room;
See the pictures on the walls,
Heroes fights and festivals;
And in a corner find the toys
Of the old Egyptian boys.

CO-PUBLISHING ADVERTISING FREEBIES CALLED AD SHEETS

Co-publishing really means you agree to mail a certain number of copies of 
an Ad sheet with your regular mailings. In return, you usually get two 
things:

  1) You get your ads in that ad sheet for half price, as long as 
you co-publish, and

  2) You get to keep 50% commission on all ads that people mail to
  you to include in the ad sheet. 

 When you co-publish, your name and address will go on the copies of 
the ad sheet that you are sending (either the publisher will put it there, or you can rubber stamp it in the provided space).  

People who receive your copies of the ad sheet, who want to place ads, will send
 their ads and payment directly to YOU. You keep your cut and forward the rest,
 with the ad, to the publisher. These arrangements vary. The usual arrangement: 50% off ads, and half for commission on new ads placed through you, for as long as you co-publish. 

Usually, before you can co-publish an ad sheet, you will have to place an 
ad at full price. Indicate with your ad order that you want to co-publish, 
and include the number of copies you intend to mail out. If you can mail 50 
easily, say 50. Don't say 200.  

See, this adsheet might get published every two weeks. If it takes you two 
months to send 200, people will get old copies and will see your name on 
them. This will give the impression that you're slow, and you obviously
 don't want that!

Why would any publisher want to have others co-publish THEIR ad sheet?  
After all, they lose out on half the ad revenues from any of those ads.  

Well, by having co-publishers, the reach of the ad sheet can be greatly 
expanded. The publisher may only be able to mail out 1,000 himself; with 
other people doing extra mailings, another 1,000 might see the ad sheet.  

The higher circulation allows higher advertising rates, which partially 
compensates for the 50% commissions. Also, most publishers put ads for 
their own offers in their own ad sheet (the main function of their ad 
sheet, as noted in the previous report, is to cover the publisher's 
advertising expenses). 

 This means their offers are seen by an extra 1,000 people, and the only 
expense is mailing ad sheet copies to only a few people.

So, exactly how do you benefit from co-publishing other ad sheets? You get 
cheaper advertising. You get better circulation of your own ads, from the 
other co-publisher's mailings. You get another sheet to insert into your
"big mails" (see the next report to learn how your business can explode by 
using this idea - including how to send tons of mail to your customers for 
FREE!). You get a commission for every ad placed through you (this can pay 
for YOUR ads in the ad sheet, meaning FREE advertising for YOU).

How do you benefit from having others co-publish YOUR ad sheet? Your 
circulation is VASTLY expanded. You don't have to pay others upfront to 
mail your sheet. You just have to send them however many copies they can 
mail, and be willing to give them a commission on new ads. But look at it 
this way, these would be ads you WOULDN'T get otherwise, because your sheet 
wouldn't have reached that person if you were the only mailer.

Co-publishing is built on trust. If you promise to mail out "x" number of 
copies, keep your promise. If you don't mail them, you can't get the 
commission on the ads that may have been placed. Also, your offers won't  
get the extra circulation they deserve. But, do it right, and you will see 
your orders grow!

The Two Crabs

One fine day two Crabs came out from their home to take a
stroll on the sand. "Child," said the mother, "you are walking
very ungracefully. You should accustom yourself, to walking
straight forward without twisting from side to side."

"Pray, mother," said the young one, "do but set the example
yourself, and I will follow you."

Example is the best precept.

The Ass and the Lapdog

A Farmer one day came to the stables to see to his beasts of
burden: among them was his favourite Ass, that was always well fed
and often carried his master. With the Farmer came his Lapdog,
who danced about and licked his hand and frisked about as happy as
could be. The Farmer felt in his pocket, gave the Lapdog some
dainty food, and sat down while he gave his orders to his
servants. The Lapdog jumped into his master's lap, and lay there
blinking while the Farmer stroked his ears. The Ass, seeing this,
broke loose from his halter and commenced prancing about in
imitation of the Lapdog. The Farmer could not hold his sides with
laughter, so the Ass went up to him, and putting his feet upon the
Farmer's shoulder attempted to climb into his lap. The Farmer's
servants rushed up with sticks and pitchforks and soon taught the
Ass that
 .Clumsy jesting is no joke.

SELF-PUBLISHING: A GENIUS MONEY-MAKING IDEA

For a lot of people, publishing a book may look like it costs lots of money. 
For example, on a short-run press, this book costs around $2.10 to print.  

For the uninitiated, self-publishing is one of the easiest ways to make money 
in the world. Of course, it requires some talent, but they are easy to learn. 
Take a look:
1. Choose a subject to write about. Select something you enjoy or want to 
  know more about yourself. As just an example, we'll use "Household Hints" 
   
2. Now, to collect the information to put in my book about "household hints" 
  I would go visit my mother, talk to my aunts and cousins, call friends on 
  the phone, and in general _ ask everybody I came into contact with to 
  give me their favorite "household hint." After a few months I'd have a 
  lot of stuff.

3. At this point I would start categorizing all this information. I'd put 
  all the stuff about "kitchen tips" in a separate file from "home remedies".
  Each separate file would be a new chapter in my book.

4. Then I'd begin typing out my book on a computer or typewriter. If I were 
  to type the book myself, I would simply number each tip as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 
  with a heading for each tip.

5. Okay. Now the book is ready to print. You've read everything and there 
  are no misspelled words or obvious grammar mistakes. You are ready to 
  see the final result of your labors. How much will it cost? Let's assume 
  that my "household hints" book is going to measure 5" wide by 8" tall 
  (like a sheet of 8 1/2x11" paper folded in half.) There are 2 pages on 
  each side or 4 pages front and back. These are the best size for mail 
  order unless you write a 100-page novel.
   
  My "Household Hints" book would be a total of 24 pages. That means 
  it will take both sides of 6 sheets of 8 1/2x11" paper to print each 
  one of my books. That includes the cover and everything.

  Based on standard mail order prices, you could have 250 of these books 
  printed for $109 or about 44c each. 1,000 would run even less _ $200 or 
  about 20c each. That's cheap! Even if I sell each one for just $3, 
  I'll make over $500 profit.

  Another method of saving money with printing of booklets is to have 
  the mail order printer print them at the same price you would pay for 
  8 1/2x11", 2-sided printing (around $25 per 1,000) without having them 
  collated, folded and stapled. This way, your cost would only be a total 
  of $150 per 1,000 or 15c per booklet.
   
This method is great if you want to do some of the work yourself. 
  Your only expense would be a saddle stitcher from an office supply 
  store. This is a long-armed stapler and the cost is around $45. 
  Of course you would not want to make this investment if you were only 
  going to be publishing one book per year _ but if you plan to go into 
  heavy production, it would be worth your while. I personally don't care 
  to do this myself because I'm saving tons of money. I'll get paid in the 
  long run for my time.

6. Now, the only thing left to do to make my book a success is to sell them 
  and make some money back. One idea would be to call all the people who 
  gave me the information for the book. I'd put a price tag of $5 on the 
  cover and offer it to my friends and co-workers at a discount of 
  $3 or $2. Everyone whose name or contribution is in a published book 
  will want a copy for a keepsake _ at least.
   
It's not that hard to create your own money-maker. There's no hidden secret 
to it. You don't have to pay $29.95 for the same information. We're GIVING 
it to you free of charge.

Every single human being has a book inside of them! Everybody knows 
something that other people don't and everybody has interests that other 
people don't have the time to learn about. There is a subject that interests 
you that would interest others. Guaranteed!

So, get busy. Pick a subject, gather the information and type it up! You'll 
be a hero before you know it. Neighbors will begin to label you as a 
notorious writer. You'll be able to hold your head high, and you'll be 
able to start putting ",Writer" at the end of your name on your business 
letters. Won't that be something?

MINI-OFFICES: Home For Start-Ups

The primary reason businesses start at home, or with a meager P.O. Box is 
because, renting an office can be very expensive.
On top of your basic rental, you will have to worry about buying and setting 
up tables and chairs, and bother yourself with a lot of moving-in blues when 
you should actually be concentrating on one thing: Making Money.
Therefore, for many start-ups, the kitchen table offers a "ready-to-go" 
alternative which is also rent-free. But what if there's an office "Cube" 
with a desk, a phone, access to a copy machine and a fax machine?  
What if it has a common secretary receptionist who can type your letter and 
charge you only based on the amount of work done? What if this office were 
to rent out at $200 a month? Would you take it?

INCUBATOR 
Many profitable businesses are born and raised in incubator situations. A 
mini office is just that - a slightly bigger mailbox where you can physically 
show up and do your work.

It's an ideal breeding ground for start-ups with limited capital, yet need 
legitimate workspace that neither the kitchen or a mailbox can offer. This 
is where you come in.

THE LAYOUT
   
Picture this mini office in a middlerange commercial location. The ideal 
space for you to rent would be around 1,800 square feet. You can build 
wall-to-wall cubicles that are about 5 x 5 each. Including common areas 
and a small corner for your secreetary, fax and copy machines, you can have 
30 Cubes that can each rent out for $200 a month.
If all your cubes are rented out, this will give $6,000 in gross rental 
revenues. If you can lease your space for around $0.75 per square foot, your 
1,800 sqft space will cost you $1,350 a month.
Add to this the salary of the secretary, and your margin can still be at 
around 50% of your gross rental revenue, or roughly $3000. In addition to 
your rental revenues, you will also make money on copies, faxes and 
secretarial functions.

Video Taping Service

This is a fabulously profitable business that's still in it's infancy. And for sure, if you want a business that takes no special training, expensive office set-up or large investment -yet is capable of showing almost immediate profits - this is it!

 Now is the ideal time to get started with your own Video Taping Service. Purchasing and learning how to operate, as well as maintain the necessary equipment is easy. The technological improvements built into the equipment, and the operating pro-
cedures have been so simplified that almost anyone with the ability to read, can study a video instruction manual for a couple of hours and immediately produce professional quality, highly marketable video tapes. Without a doubt, video tape technology has replaced Super 8 home movies as the most-desired memory-saving system.

 One- and two-person video taping services around the country are reporting gross earnings of $50,000 to $100,000 per year. One operation we looked into, reported an in come figure of $800,000 during the preceding 12-month period. They were accepting taping jobs from all quarters and keeping 4-hired teams busy.

 Marketing imagination, organization, and attention to detail are the keys to success in operating this business. Ideas and requests for new things or events to tape and pre serve for later playback/viewing, are coming in faster than one can list. Then, there are so many things to remember and minor details to take care of, that the only way to operate successfully is with a series of checklists... for the person selling the service as well as the man or woman on the recording camera.

 But don't let mentioning of details to remember, scare you off. On the contrary, you'll find video equipment easy and inexpensive to practice on, especially when compared to attaining a comparable degree of expertise with film. You can use the same tape over and over again, and this is definitely a business where the phrase "practice leads to perfection," applies without qualifications or reservations.

 To start a video taping service, you'll need a video "porta-pack" recorder, and at least a half dozen tapes. Check around in your area. Start by "reading up" on all the available equipment used for video taping. A trip to your public library and a few hours browsing through the periodicals on video equipment should give you added interest and a basic indoctrination. Next, check out the suppliers listed in the yellow pages of your telephone directory. A few phone calls to those p laces listed, plus a few in-person visits, should supply you with enough catalogs and "idea material" to keep you plenty busy for a week or more. These elementary learning steps are necessary as the foundation of your
business.

 You should be able to buy a good quality video porta-pack recorder for about $850, with blank tapes for $20 or less. When you buy, always dicker with the dealer - explaining to him that you're in the process of establishing a video taping service, and
if he will include a supply of tapes with the recorder, or at least give you an especially good price on them, you'll probably buy all your tapes from him. It may not be your regular way of buying things, but when you're starting a business, every dollar counts, so always shop around for the best prices.

 Once you have your video recorder, take it home and start practicing with it. Think of yourself as being on a job for a homeowner or an insurance company, taking a photographic inventory of the house and/or the occupant's possessions. Practice by
making a tape record of your own household furnishings. Make a tape, then play it back and critique your work. Then do it again, and again, until you have a tape you can use in sales presentations to homeowners and insurance companies. Video tape recordings of this kind are becoming extremely popular with homeowners and insurance companies alike.

 Then, look through your weekend newspaper and make a note of the girls announcing wedding dates. Open your telephone directory and call these girls on the phone. Ask them if they'd mind if you came to their wedding and made a video tape of it, without any obligation to them of course.

 So you go to the wedding, introduce yourself and practice making a video tape of the wedding ceremony. Take the tape home and critique it. Keep this up until you have a tape you're reasonably proud of, and then call the bride. Ask to come over and let her see the tape. Explain to her that you're just getting started in the business, and you simply want her comments and suggestions. Chances are, when she sees the tape, she'll want to
buy it.

 While you're in this learning phase of your new business, visit an apartment building and arrange with the manager to make a video tape of her showing the apartment to you as a potential renter. Contact a couple of property management and real estate firms, and do the same thing with condominiums and houses for sale.

 You might want to listen in on the police radio frequency, and make tapes of auto accidents, particularly those involving injuries. Another idea might be the taping of golfers practicing at the local driving ranges. Other ideas include any kind of sports practice session, birthday parties, special anniversaries, baptisms, bar mitzvah's, publicity stories, sales presentations, and "fireside chats" by company presidents or general managers.

 These are just a few idea suggestions you might want to pursue. You may find a certain kind of video taping assignment especially enjoyable and want to specialize in that area. Or you may want to leave the door open for any kind of assignment and handle each as the opportunity presents itself.

 Whatever you decide, there are a few "sure success" points to keep in mind as you begin to sell your services. Remember, the idea of having a video cassette system in one's home, is gaining in popularity every day. There are already some two-million video cassette recorders in American Homes, with an estimated 100,000 being sold to new customers every month. Further estimates indicate that by 1990, at ]east one half of all U.S. households will own either a videocassette recorder or a videodisc player. All of this means your market is growing and is expected to continue growing through the end of this decade.

 Virtually everyone would like to see himself as a star in a home movie. Thus, when you show him a video tape of himself in the starring role, he'll either buy the tape on the spot or want you to make a similar tape for him. Regardless of false modesty, everyone likes to show pictures of himself, and explain to his friends the different highlights of his or her life. With this understanding about your prospect in mind when you make a sales presentation, your closing rate should be quite close to 100 percent.

 The best way to sell your services is to run a regular ad in your area newspapers. Such an ad might be similar to this one:

VIDEO TAPING SERVICES...

Whatever your idea or assignment, we can handle it for you! No job too large or too small! We're experts at taping weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties and other special occasions. Commercial assignments also welcomed. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, so give us a call - 123-4567, right now!

 When you receive calls in response to this ad, your objective will be two-fold: Find out what kind of taping job they have in mind, and set up an appointment to show them an example of the kinds of tapes you can produce for them. Show them an example of your work. Once you've met with them, and sown them a demonstration tape, you should have the sale in your pocket.

 Never meet with a prospect in a selling situation without some sort of demonstration tape to show him. Try to match the tape you show them, as closely to their wants and needs as possible. Wedding tapes you have made for prospective wedding clients, and shots of golf practice or instruction to golfing prospects.

 Besides an ad in the newspaper, and the yellow pages of your telephone directory, make copies of the ad and get it up on the bulletin boards in your market area. Send news and publicity releases to all the media in your area, definitely whenever you've got an unusual or special kind of assignment.

 Have some impressive business cards printed, and hand them out to whomever, and as often as you can. The slogan on your business card might read: Have Video Tape Recorder - Available for ANY kind of assignment - You name it and I'll tape it...

 Radio and/or television advertising will probably be more expensive than the resulting job assignments will sustain, so be very cautious when considering this type of advertising. However, it will very definitely be advantageous for you to pursue guest in
ter views on just about any kind of broadcast talk show. Talk show appearances and free write-ups about your business in your local newspapers are promotional angles to reach for at every opportunity. Always be on the lookout for promotional ideas and gimmicks that will result in area-wide publicity for your services.

USING YOUR CAMERA FOR EXTRA MONEY

One of the easiest ways of making extra money is with a camera. More people own cameras than radios, and photography is the fastest growing hobby in the world. Yet using a camera as an extra income tool is largely overlooked!

 With a little imagination, a flair for showmanship, and just a hint of salesmanship, the average man or woman, or even teenager, can easily make an extra $300 a week with his camera.

 You don't have to have one of the popular, more expensive cameras either, or a loot of high priced attachments and equipment. In many instances, a Polaroid or other "off-the-wall" camera will suit the purposes perfectly. The only special piece of extra equipment you may want to invest in would be a tripod for mounting the camera in certain situations.

 One of the easiest ideas is to visit a children's clothing store in one of your busy shopping centers, or the children's department in one of your large department stores. Sell the manager or store owner on the idea of your setting up in a corner of the store or department, and taking pictures of the shoppers' children. He can promote the fact that you'll be in the store taking pictures for special prices during certain hours - perhaps on Friday evenings and all day Saturdays - in his advertising, thus drawing patrons into his store because of you.

 You'll need a sheet or a plain piece of material, or some sort of imaginative set for a background. But this you can easily make or build yourself. You should also have an eye-catching poster that calls attention to what you're doing and the prices you're charging. Unless you're a commercial artist, spend the money to have this sign made for you by a professional. The next and last thing you'll need will be a 2-part receipt or coupon.

 This can be a simple piece of paper about 2" wide by 5" long. On the left side draw lines for your customers to fill in their name, telephone number and address. You might also want to include space for additional information such as the child's name and age and the number of children in the family, for future efforts, but keep it brief and simple.

 On the right hand side of this coupon, have your business name, address and telephone number, plus a quick outline of the different kinds of photography work you handle, and perhaps a business slogan such as "Satisfaction Guaranteed or You Don't Pay."

 To add a little bit of class to this coupon, take the basic outline of this idea over to an instant print shop. Tell them what you want; show them your outline; and have them typeset everything. Then put a fancy border around the whole coup on and have it printed on colored paper. The best color of paper is a "dollar bill" shade of green. If you want to give it even more class, you could have it printed on green, lightweight card stock. You'll want to divide the "information" side o f this coupon from the "business card" side with a dotted line and perforations.

 If you layout this coupon properly. You should be able to get six of them on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper or card stock. This means the printer can print and cut 6,000 of them for about the same cost as printing 1,000 circulars or flyers.

 On your printing, shop around for the best deal, but in the end, it shouldn't cost you more than about $60 for all 6,000 coupons which will come from those 1,000 sheets of paper or card stock.

 Now, when you take a person's picture, regardless of whether it's an "in-store" set-up, out on the golf course, or along the street, you give your customer one of your coupon-receipts and tell them their prints will be ready in a couple of days. They fill in the information part of the coupon and give it back to you, retaining your "business card" portion of it.

 When the prints are ready, you can phone the customer and remind him - volunteer to deliver and collect; send them through mail with a bill; or make arrangements with a store to take care of them until the people call for them and pay at that time.

 Most stores, golf courses, bowling centers, and other retail merchants will be glad to handle this part of it for you, because it brings the customers back into the places of business, and provides another sales opportunity for them.

 By all means, be sure to include an advertising circular with each set of pictures you deliver. This circular should explain how the customer can get more prints, how he can get enlargements of his favorites, and details relating to all the other photography services you offer.

 Back to the original "in-store" picture taking set-up during evening shopping hours and on weekends for extra income. You can call attention to your "in-store" set-up and bring in more business with a few merchandising promotional ideas. In the following paragraphs we give the highlights of a few ideas that have worked well, how ev§er, you should keep your eyes open to observe additional promotional ideas that could be adapted to fit your new business.

 Dress a helper in a clown suit, and take pictures of the kids on his lap or with his arm around the kids. Put a sandwich advertising board on a helper and let him stroll through the shopping center advertising the fact that you're in Kiddie Clothing store taking pictures.

 Promote a "Baby of the Year" contest where you take pictures of babies, display the pictures on a "show board" and offer $100 cash plus a merchandise prize in a big drawing at the end of the year.

 Set up a booth in the mall and promote "Instant Snapshots." Be a Roving Photographer and take candid shots of shoppers and promote a "Shopper of the Year" contest. Work with a clown and have him "attach himself" to the kids, and ask if they'd like to have their pictures taken with him. Build an inexpensive and portable set, such as an air plane, a race car, bucking bronco, hand-shaking scene with a famous person or "balloon figures" and take pictures of people standing in or on these sets.

 Get out to the golf course and take pictures of the golfers teeing off. Get over to the bowling centers and take candid shots of the bowlers in action. Do the same thing wherever there's a sports event taking place. Be on the spot and ready whenever there's an opportunity to take team pictures.

 You might follow, or hire someone else to follow a Little League team through its season, take candid and action shots. You then arrange the best of these pictures in a photo album with the team's name and year on the front. You should be able to sell one of these albums to each member of the team.

 There's also the idea of "just strolling through the park" on a Sunday afternoon. You take candid and interesting pictures of couples, children and people in general spending time with their relatives.

 Keep tabs on the announcements of new births. Send advertising literature to the new mothers, and follow up with phone calls efforts to set up photography ses sions.

 Keep tabs on the engagement notices in the weekend papers. Send your sales literature to the brides-to-be, and follow up with phone call efforts to take the wedding pictures.

 Set up household and business photo inventory service. With this idea, you contact the insurance companies and determine if they will approve and endorse photographs you take of their policy holders' household, personal and business property in loss claims.

 Most will, and from there - working either with the help of an insurance agent, the agency itself, or on your own - contact owners of property and sell them on the idea of your taking pictures of the household goods they have insured. You take pictures - a pictorial inventory of everything they're claiming or would like to claim on an insurance policy - and then identify the pictures, giving one set to the property owner and the other

improving their personal selling

Most people are always striving to better themselves. It's the "American Way." For proof, check the sales figures on the number of self-improvement books sold each year. This is not a pitch for you to jump in and start selling these kinds of books, but it is an indication of people's awareness that in order to better themselves, they have to continue improving their personal selling abilities.

 To excel in any selling situation, you must have confidence, and confidence comes, first and foremost, from knowledge. You have to know and understand yourself and your goals. You have to recognize and accept your weaknesses as well as your special talents. This requires a kind of personal honesty that not everyone is capable of exercising.

 In addition to knowing yourself, you must continue learning about people. Just as with yourself, you must be caring, forgiving and laudatory with others. In any sales effort, you must accept other people as they are, not as you would like for them to be. One of the most common faults of sales people is impatience when the prospective cus tom§er is slow to understand or make a decision. The successful salesperson handles these situations the same as he would if he were asking a girl for a date, or even applying for a new job.

 Learning your product, making a clear presentation to qualified prospects, and closing more sales will take a lot less time once you know your own capabilities and failings, and understand and care about the prospects you are calling upon.

 Our society is predicated upon selling, and all of us are selling something all the time. We move up or stand still in direct relation to our sales efforts. Everyone is included, whether we're attempting to be a friend to a co-worker, a neighbor, or selling multi-million dollar real estate projects. Accepting these facts will enable you to understand that there is no such thing as a born salesman. Indeed, in selling, we all begin
at the same starting line, and we all have the same finish line as the goal - a successful sale.

 Most assuredly, anyone can sell anything to anybody. As a qualification to this statement, let us say that some things are easier to sell than others, and some people work harder at selling than others. But regardless of what you're selling, or even how you're attempting to sell it, the odds are in your favor. If you make your presentation to enough people, you'll find a buyer. The problem with most people seems to be in making contact - getting their sales pre sentation seen by, read by, or heard by enough people. But this really shouldn't be a problem, as we'll explain later. There is a problem of impatience, but this too can be harnessed to work in the salesperson's favor.

 We have established that we're all salespeople in one way or another. So whether we're attempting to move up from forklift driver to warehouse manager, wait ress to hostess, salesman to sales manager or from mail order dealer to president of the largest sales organization in the world, it's vitally important that we continue learning.

 Getting up out of bed in the morning; doing what has to be done in order to sell more units of your product; keeping records, updating your materials; planning the direction of further sales efforts; and all the while increasing your own knowledge - all
this very definitely requires a great deal of personal motivation, discipline, and energy. But then the rewards can be beyond your wildest dreams, for make no mistake about it, the selling profession is the highest paid occupation in the world!

 Selling is challenging. It demands the utmost of your creativity and innovative thinking. The more success you want, and the more dedicated you are to achieving your goals, the more you'll sell. Hundreds of people the world over become millionaires each month through selling. Many of them were flat broke and unable to find a "regular" job when they began their selling careers. Yet they've done it, and you can do it too!

 Remember, it's the surest way to all the wealth you could ever want. You get paid according to your own efforts, skill, and knowledge of people. If you're ready to become rich, then think seriously about selling a product or service (prefer ably something exclusively yours) - something that you "pull out of your brain;" something that you write, manufacture or produce for the benefit of other people. But failing this, the want ads are full of opportunities for ambitious sales people. You can start there, study, learn from experience, and watch for the chance that will allow you to move ahead by leaps and bounds.
