I'm not talking about the car-salesmen type, but millions of dollars in products/service sold over the years. My record for a one time close was $780,000 on a one page executive summery idea, while on vacation.
Anyway, I've hung up this talent 6.5 years ago and forged a new talent in internet marketing/strategies and would put myself in the better then good category.
I've always had a knack of sniffing out great ideas or opportunity that later spun off to million dollar companies that are still in business today. I don't have the ability to hang onto them or expand and in the end, get handed a nice cheque to leave.
I now understand to step aside and focus on what I'm good at and be a part of the machine instead of trying to drive it. Meaning, I don't have the talent to run a profitable company and never will. I am just not wired that way.
When you sold your company most people where in awe on the success and money you made. Not me, I zeroed in on the true wealth of knowledge gained, being able to expand a company so quickly as it turned to a very profitable success. In short, I've busted my ass in trenches for 15 years in sales and internet marketing and can easily recognize you've also been in the trenches and excel in rapid company growth management and won.
The Plan:
Lot's of soldiers are coming home before and the next election to a horrible job market. But their pocket are full of GI bill collage money to the tune of $50,000 or more. I've contacted 2 online collages (there are many) and flew out and pitched a guarded Internet marketing plan to recruit soldiers into these online collages.
I used the take away close, and landed signup commission figure of around $1,200 depending on the courses the soldiers take. I've also researched the current online collage marketing methods and although competitive, wouldn't have a clue on what hit them. I am more then certain that I can close these collages on tail-end commission as their SE marketing methods get saturated.
My Problem:
I can get the online collages and the traffic, but their is noway to manage affiliates or chase down commissions earned, manage marketing networks, or have this all run smoothly. I just don't have the time, management ability, or expansion resources.
Finally, this is not my first rodeo because I did this same exact method for a group of doctors selling laser eye surgeries and hair transplants from 96-2009. I made a lot of money and built a great network, but in the end I could not manage it and handed over for a very nice cheque to leave.
...and that's my pitch.
