Dr. Joe Vitale, www.MrFire.com, is a very successful copywriter and best-selling author.

Your f~ree trial or sample chapters will show your visitors that you are confident in the quality of your product and lead to more sales for you by demonstrating how valuable your product is. 2.

When you arrive on time, your professionalism shows your prospects that you value their time as well as your own.2. Ask specific questions.

According to Chip Tarver, www.FirstContactSecrets.com, you must put your fears aside. “Most people have a fear of rejection,” Chip said. “The most important thing to keep in mind is that you are typically not rejected, your idea is. So try not to take that personally.
“Remember that failure is something to be cherished, because it gets you closer to success. Every failure is just a test that didn’t work. It is not a personal failure. When you get a ‘No,’ just think ‘Next’ and move on to the next person.”
