Recently as part of a contest for Top Earner Success School we were tasked with talking to as many strangers as possible. Simply chat, get their numbers or email! It meant talking to anyone and everyone, an effective yet least used way to market your home business! The man next to you at the café, that couple at the bar or the woman sitting next to you on a flight, might just be a customer. Strike up a conversation, find out what they do, and eventually they’ll ask what you do. Several businesses including ours bring in new business through such conversations.
