Review prospecting sources and methods. Select one method from any of these sources (external, internal, and personal contact) to make initial contact for a direct sale. Use your imagination. It could be for a car sale, new product, new service offered in the area, new home, etc. When you post make sure you identify the product or service and how you world make contact. For example, As a window treatment specialist, I would use the value shopper mail advertisement to introduce my business externally to make initial contact. My offer would include a discount coupon for the prospects business.
