Ric`s right. You need to talk to the client first either via the telephone or in person, before you can put together an effective proposal.

Exactly, Craig!

I get you, and I agree except that we are on opposite coasts. I do know about Zanker from attending his workshops and reading his coauthored book (Think Big and Kick Ass). I know that he went from a 5 million dollar company to a 100 million dollar company after he brought Donald Trump in as a guest speaker at an expo. I know that Zanker got his start by standing on the street corner in a clown suit giving away his fliers and a $5 discount. He would then run upstairs to his apartment and answer the calls.

I know that he was a film student when he came up with the concept of the Learning Annex, and that his original idea was to have a school of film workshops. His girlfriend did pottery and asked if she could teach a class. I know that he sold the company and then repurchased it.

I know that he does use some video now, but it is just pre-recorded stuff.

 

As to the expectation of no, well, I think the quickness of it was the issue. You guys are great. It is good to not be in this alone. Oh, and since I did send the initial request for permission to send a proposal and he agreed, then I feel that is best, but I would like to attach a meeting to it. I think that is a great idea.
