    It was a dark and stormy night...heck no, it was broad daylight instead so there's no mistaking what I saw.

    A man had set up 'shop' on one side of the road that runs adjacent my home. It was a great day for the kind of 'biz' he practiced. It was a day when there was plenty of sunshine in
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    the hearts of folk that passed him and I expected him to make a lot of hay this day - capitalizing on that inner sunshine.

    But something was wrong with his 'hay-making' that day. In place of the taken for granted hay-bundles there were just a few straws! While idly pondering over this I

    And in half-an-hour this man created 'sales' a terrific 700% over the first guy. Same 'home business' same 'product' same time, same prospects YET a 700% increase in sales!!! While the first guy barely converted 6 prospects throu

    Always on the lookout to learn something new I can apply to my net-biz I took a closer look at the marketing skills applied by this newcomer and this is what I learnt.

    As soon as the other guy saw the street and the large number of peo

    Now he knew he had to set up base some where on that street, but where? He stood around for a short while, saw the previous gu

    Setting up shop meant displaying his wares. This he did in a fashion where there could be no mistaking what his business was. Even a glance from far was enough for the folk to recognize his trade and decide - in advance - to patronize his 'shop' (online - setting up shop wo

    And he didn't go away when the crowds thinned. No Sir, he waited until the very last prospect passed him by.
