Alright my wise and esteemed counsel
Question, Do you think it is wise to have a "model" or very cute girl, nice and busty, Not too busty!! to submit fliers to businesses for me??

Any ideas for Business to Business?? I have seen some fliers around here, but they seem generic (still grateful), does anybody go all out on these? whats the recommendations?

Another question when doing B2B do you need a solicitors license? what about the no solicitation signs?? do you think they would look the idea if my walker had nice tits?

Re: Business to Business Ideas             Go to Top

My laughing was not geared towards the idea. It was geared to towards the other individual stating:

"he needs to find another career." Our business is all about perception, and is why I have two very attractive secretaries.

It is also why when I am presenting to a single male, or a group of males, I always take one of my secretaries with me. I know they are wanting something more attractive to look at then me.........LOL

Re: Business to Business Ideas             Go to Top

You are killing me! lol

Do you really think that going B2B to drop off fliers with a chick with big tits is going to help you close deals? I am hoping he was joking.

I guess everyone has their own "marketing" ideas, and if it works for you, go for it!

Personally, I like to come across as a professional insurance agent.

If the original poster has questions about what type of fliers to use, great. I had those questions myself, and found some very good ideas here on the site.

Re: Business to Business Ideas             Go to Top

The "real looker" could work for you or against you.

1) walks into a auto repair shop, no question SHE is going to get attention; all wrenches stop rattling. Not sure that the ins message will get much concentration.

2) walks into a professional office, or female owned biz, the mkting ploy may not be quite as successful or appreciated in the least. Flyer immediately hits the trash.

Why not just get the flyers out there...? They will work no matter if delivered under the most inopertune conditions... Have reference to the benefits, (save 30% on your health ins prems; quality carriers), website address and free instant quotes, contact info. It is a no-brainer...

What is more effective is if YOU, or an agent delivers the flyer. You will have folks that have questions and want to chat... and if all they are told is "You have to call whats-his-face, many won't... you on the other hand can answer question, build rapport, and develop a candidate or prospect on their way to being a client.

Re: Business to Business Ideas             Go to Top

I wouldn't have a problem with having a "model" or very cute girl, nice and busty. Now as far as having one to just drop off fliers to businesses, that's a whole different story.

First of I would check to see if she would need to be licensed to do this in your State. Even just handing someone a flyer could be considered "soliciting" which means you definitely need a license as some States are pretty sticky on that...better safe than sorry!

As far as Business to Business, I know some agents who take a day every now and then, load up their briefcase with business cards and brochures and just go door to door in a business district introducing themselves and what they do and sell. Then there is direct mail, networking via fraternal organizations, etc...the list goes on and on. I encourage you to dig through the threads here as there many ideas on this topic posted.

Cheers!

You can get solicited at a car show?

Who knew?

In Tampa they have ladies in thongs selling hot dogs and such from carts along the highway.

For some reason it seems to work.

Can't imagine why.

Does your wife know you go online, soliciting pictures of busty women?

Re: Business to Business Ideas             Go to Top

I can't give advise until I see the kind of women he is talking about. LOL

I need visual aids sometimes. LOL

I think having a good looking women to hand out anything, does help. If you ever see the women that go to doctor office trying to talk the doctors into using their drugs? Very Good looking women. There is a reason why they send good looking women.

I had an agent once bring her two good looking daugthers to a trade show where her, to sell some truck drivers an insurance product. Of course it helped her to have some eye candy at the trade show.

If I'm at walmart, and someone trys to hand me something to look at, it helps if they are cute and friendly.

I'll bet you are also more receptive to those flyers if Mrs Rosenthal happens to not be with you that day, too...

She says that any women that can put up with me can have me.

Don't let me kid you. She keeps me in line. I know where my bread is buttered.

Who would put up with me and my 5 kids anyways?

Getting back to this post. Looks can help with sales.

We all have been to car shows and events. They use looks to help them sell their products.

More Business owners (where are guys) would allow a good looking women to leave something at their place of business, then us ugly looking guys. He did say "drop off fliers".

All I'm saying is when talking about dropping off fliers to business owners, I agree with the poster that having a good looking women to do this, does help or makes a difference.

If we are then start giving her more money, so she will stop taking all of mine.

We have an agreement in my marriage. I make and she spends it. Plus she is always right. With this plan, I know we will stay married forever.

How did you talk your wife into marrying you? How did she fall for you?

Mine, on our 1st date she never went home. We got married a month later. We have been married going on ten years now. I know I married a great women and a hell of a cook too. I think with my stomach a lot. Nothing like a southern women and sothern cooking. You know how these Georgia women are. Hmm.

A friend of mine's wife always told him, she didn't care who pumped up the tires as long as she got to ride the bicycle.

I never understood what she meant. I never saw her riding any bicycles.

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband.
