The people that get the discounts were almost always the regulars. The one positive note is that I don't have to pick up the phone to call them (which I don't like much). I doubt that it's worth my giving away $4.00. Now I don't mention it on the cards. Some customers know the $4.00 discount offer is still up on my web site. So they fill out the appt form, and I give 'em the discount. I remember this adage from my foray into multi-level-marketing. "Some will, some won't. So what? Some are waiting." So here I am, staring at the phone -- knowing that I need to pick it up and dial some digits. What's so dang hard 'bout that, anyway? I even have my script memorized. <G> So much easier to complain on the list about slow seasons. Hehe. Gonna make some calls now. -- JF http://formsma.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
