Written by Sue and Chuck DeFiore


One ofrepparttar first things you do when starting a business is to have business cards made up. The next thing you need to do is give them out. If you keep them inrepparttar 106121 card holders orrepparttar 106122 box in your office, they are not doing what you got them for.

You should send a card out with any correspondence you send. You should tell all your friends and family what you are doing. Give them a bunch of cards to give to others.

Do you go to a dry cleaner? A special car repair place? What aboutrepparttar 106123 grocery store, do you like to go to a particular checker? All of these people should have your business card, and know what you do.

One ofrepparttar 106124 first things we tell our PFYS students to do is to get their name out there. We tell them to get cards made up and give them out to everyone. With lease purchasing we emphasize that we offer referral fees. For example, we gave cards (a bunch of them) to our video store. We toldrepparttar 106125 owner that if we do a deal with someone who gotrepparttar 106126 card from his store he would get 10% of whateverrepparttar 106127 assignment fee was. Well, guess what, he received a $500 check he wasn't expecting. Well you can imagine his surprise and shock when we dropped it off. He was ecstatic, and told everyone and we mean everyone about us! In fact this particular owner received numerous checks from us.
