CEO or VIP of large national companies are usually not easily assessable. To approach them to become ECA will involve the combination of methods. These are:

1. Mailing- Writing a professional and brief email or letter to such person is a good starting point. The content of the mail should be to introduce oneself, give a short story of ones mission and request for an appointment for proper understanding of the mission.

2. Telemarketing- If there's a positive reply to the mail

I think it would be best to watch and know if he is a member of any sports or social club.
Such people are usually more approachable at their social or sports club or a gym. At such places, there usually no holds barred. People tend to let off their guards even if the man has a security detail, there is a limit to how they stop members of his sports or social club from having access to him in the club.
You may have to share a drink or offer to buy him a drink after an activity.

Make sure you come across as a top professional. You want to let them know that there are over 5 million customers on TripleClicks which will give them a lot of exposure for possible sales. Let them know that TC is an online store that sells all over the world and can help their own company grow.

One of the advantages is they are opening another store, without the high price of a brick and mortar business and they can reach people all over rather than being limited to any geographical

I don't think that you should do this, beyond the fact that it is difficult to reach such persons, even if you work for the company. (VIPs/CEOs/Owners like Gery are very rare, we are lucky.) We want TripleClicks/SFI to become a large, (inter)national company.

You always run the risk that a large company would try to take over.

It would be better to find people that have unique items, like craftspeople. I plan to try this later in the year, when we have a crafts fair in our

 It also happy to try. Good advertising and banners for this purpose that a company could possibly hear himself.
otherwise it is good to send E-cards that are ready-made and can be purchased at the Triple Clicks and send them to the addresses of the firms. you choose. For some time a call and politely explain to them the benefits and negotiate a meeting for signing the agreement.
Everything is then no longer simple. It is not an easy choice when selecting these enterprises. There biggest

Hi Marlene,
Zasada large companies to be put aside, our ECA shops do not have the capacity to cover the needs of large companies.
It should focus on small and small companies who do not order large quantities of products and who do not have the financial power to buy large quantities of goods and products.
This it is much easier for these smaller companies have much, much more to our needs.

I just would not do it. Place your ads for ECA"s at a variety of places.
If they are interested, they will contact you.

Be sure and mention that everyone does the To Do List daily and they can advertise
on a tab there for one day.

Get biz cards with your picture on it.Order some literature and staple your card on it.

Great question! I can't wait to read the marvelous answers that you'll get!

I recently ventured out doing some door to door in this area. Here is how I approached my prospects:

Step 1. I introduce myself as an affiliate marketer with SFI and Tripleclicks and ask if they have time right now to look at an opportunity for getting more sales. 95% agreed to listen so I quickly moved to step 2.

Step 2. I briefly explain SFI and Tripleclicks and the relationship between
