Re: The $10,000 Conuslting Challenge

Lets call today Day 1.

OK, no takers so far.

I'm sure everyone would be very happy to generate 10k in business this
month. Is the bar too high? I'd be happy to generate an extra 5k this month,
but I wouldn't mind 10k, and I don't think the number is too far out of
reason.

Right now, I'm trying to put together a campaign that will bring in new
consulting customers, hopefully on retainer. If I sell ten retainers for a
grand a month -- that is five per week -- that will bring me ten grand this
month and every month. Yes, its a lofty goal!

Here's a question: how do I reach out, in person, to at least two or three
hundred qualified business customers a day? Lets say that "qualified" means
businesses with 10 or more employees and gross revenues of between $5 and
$10MM a year. I can find these places, no problem, but how do I effectively
get my foot into that many doors?

(I'm working on some marketing material right now. I hope to post it
tonight.)
