Hi,
I have an A.A. in accounting with lots of experience and I am currently adding a Paralegal to my skills base.
I have started the Universal course, but I can't wait 6 months to a year for that first client. The state does not sell any of their lists, so I cannot go that route.
I do not have any family in the area, and just a very few friends. My big problem is fear factor of cold calling or cold lettering. Please help me!
Thanks,
Tish |

Get in touch with your chamber of commerce. They have lists of all new businesses in the area. Pitch yourself as a confident, competent business owner.
Ask what questions about the business make p in the area, ask to sit in on a leads group, or be a guest at their next event.
They will probably ask you to join, I did, for me it is working. I have already generated $300.00 per month but it did cast me $326.00 per year, not a bad ratio. |

| Keep in mind that the place to start was family, Freinds and Neighbors, Business contacts and businesses within a mile of your home. Business Contact includes places you have worked or are a customer of. This actually eases the fear of the "cold letter" I am a coach with Universal Accounting and would like to assist. Please contact me and lets see what we can do to assist you. |
