I strongly believe that we should never make a decision for someone else without his knowledge or permission. HUH? I am sitting here with a pile of ECA brochures and x Cards and a town full of businesses that could use more sales. While the brochures have cost me money and I don't want to waste them, I have them to give out. I have a solution for their economic well being, and both the businesses and I would profit if they became active ECAs.
I am so tempted to look at one business and think that they would want to hear about TripleClicks and ECA program and another business and think that they wouldn't want to hear about it. And then act on my decisions, show it to those I think want to hear and not to those whom I think don't want to hear.
Instead I should approach all of them and give them a chance to turn it down. Many will not even want to hear about it, some will let you give your talk, and a few will embrace it and get in. But these may be the ones that surprise you.
Talk to all who are possible candidates to becoming ECAs. You won't have time to actually talk to all of them, but you can send a letter asking if they are interested in learning more about it. If they are already online, they may want to know why they should advertise with TC. Be able to answer them. If they are not already online with their sales, explain to them how easy it is to work with TC, and offer your computer knowledge should they need it.
It is easier to promote ECA to your local businesses than it is to promote to distant online businesses. As you gain experience and referrals, then you can progress to further localities.
