Do it Right.

I receive postcards frequently and the other day I got a post card and they offered me to buy a copy machine. It had tiny letters all over the card.

It was really hard to read and I threw it a way because it was so hard to read.

Couple of days later I got a postcard with 32 words on it telling me that it was possible for me to get complete information on unrestricted distance telephone service for only 5,5 cents a minute without any additional fee by calling the 800 number on the card.

I did not hesitate to call. I received the information. Had my questions answered right away and I ordered my long distance service changed. The company that offered me this long distance service was utilizing time tested 2 step selling process.

Step 1. Lead generation - Stimulate me to call the 800 number

Step 2.Give the prospects the requested information. This information is given by the sales representatives who was in the position to answer my questions and make me feel sure that I could save quite sum of money on my long distance bill. That the new service is just as good or even better.

There will be repetitive sales once the prospects contact you for information.
