I want to express my thanks to Dan for his very creative blogs that I have incorporated into my team meetings. How often these free business tools are overlooked. Dan makes life soooo much easier and fun as well. I get compliments from those that matter, and I give credit where it is deserved.

Thank you sincerely,

Now we need to get Jennifer Convertibles to become the official sponsor of “Dan’s Couch”….

And then auction it off at the info-summit… for charity, of course!

wait… what color is the couch?
no, no, no… forget I said that – toss the couch!

Your door should always be open to clients.

Live with passion!

Not only do we have to avoid moving the couch to block the door, but we CERTAINLY have to get ourselves up off it and get to work!

As you always say, Dan: The good news is: You’re your own boss. The bad news is: You’re your own boss.

And thanks — Now I’ll think of this blog post every time my beautiful wife Michele rearranges the furniture (which is fairly often)…

Many Thanks for this, great article, why is it when the student is ready the right information always shows up.

Just yesterday I was sat on the couch as usual waiting for the 4 clients to call me who I thought were dead certain as new clients.

Guess what they didn’t call me, so I picked up the heavy phone and called three clients who were in the maybe pile, to my amazement 2 of the three handed me money straight away.

So maybe move the couch and follow up with people, don’t sit waiting for them to call you.

Kindest Regards

I have faced this a lot lately with AD salesmen. They say tactics like we use won’t work in their magazines. Morons. I’ve argued with three just this week. I had one tell me that I should remove the headline, testimonials, offer and coupon from my ad. Let me say that again…. REMOVE! Seriously no joke. She said there was too much text (there really wasn’t) and basically should create a business card ad with logo, address and website for a two page spread. Why would I remove the tactics that convince the prospects to come in? Why do they want to take away my ammo???

Thanks for staying true and showing us how it is really done!
