@Omar Bernardot this is a cold call, do you want to hang up or…hear me out for 30 seconds?

@Kevin Kabisa 2-5 depending on who picks up

@Carl Sarfi Don't want anyone to get too excited -- the 1 on 1 with Robb is just a burrito date, nothing serious.

Lucas, walk into 10 businesses on your walk home from school, every day. Ask each business owner if they would be opposed to you giving them one marketing tip a week for free. Some won't mind, some may tell you to buzz off. Carry a little notebook with you and walk around the store/location of the places that are receptive and take a few notes (its all an act). After 3 weeks, they'll start to trust you. By week 6 they'll expect you. Then ask them "what are the three biggest challenges you feel your business has to overcome to get to the next level?" Take actual notes on their answer. Then disappear for a full week or two, so you give them the gift of missing you (be a challenge). Return in week 9 and say "let's pretend I'm not 16 for a few minutes, and let's imagine I could share with you something that could possibly fix A, B, or C (one of their 3 biggest challenges) they mentioned previously. If I showed you this plan, and I'm not saying I can fix this for sure (purposefully pause for three seconds), but let's say I can, and when you saw my solution you believe it would work for your business, is there any reason why you wouldn't want me to implement it for you?" Then shut up. They'll probably respond with "um, no". Then you say "what date are you looking to get started -- have you got your calendar." (this is a mini-command, not a question). Pick a date and say with a smile "I usually charge $500 pounds for a month of my marketing system, but for you I'll knock it down to $497". If they're too uptight about that quip, they might not be a good fit to work with. If they don't bite, say to them "can I ask you one last question -- do you know any business owners that are action takers?" and walk out. Circle back in a month and ask them with a slight chuckle "still enjoying the pain of problem B I see". Let them talk about problem B. Then tell them you have to get going and see if they try to pin you down for your marketing plan to fix problem B. If not, they're tire kickers and leave.

You can walk in and ask them, hey if I buy something here today, are you going to try get me to come back and purchase again? If they say anything other than "yes we will send you a sms offer for "_______", I tease them and say while smiling, "so are you telling me you never want to see me again??" Then you can mention database reactivation.
