Q. You literally knocked on people's doors?
A. Yes. I was a pretty reserved, quiet person, so that was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I remember one of the first houses I went to, her name was Patty...she bought two memberships...Then she asked me: How many memberships do you have now? I said, 'Well, that makes three!' (Laughs.) ...To this day I thank Patty for taking a leap of faith.
This is almost my exact experience with Foreverlist except that I went to an auto swap meet and walked around for two days taking photos of cars and talking to people. At the end of the second day I had no actual paying customers, mainly because I was offering the first month for free, and then a guy named Mike approached my wife at the booth and asked if I could meet him at his car. She called me and I literally ran over to his car. We talked for a while and I took photos of his car.
A few hours later he showed up at the booth and I had already created his listing and showed it to him. He paid me immediately, despite the free month and then, to my surprise, told me WHY he paid me. He told us about something he had read on the internet which was this:
"If you associate the letters of the alphabet with numbers and add them up to get a percentage, you get 98% from the words "hard work", but if you add up the letters in the word "attitude", you get 100%, so a person with right attitude is always a winner…"
That's a pretty cool way to get your first customer.
