Selling Laminated Plaques From Home

Have you ever gone into someone’s home, office, or business and seen a newspaper article elegantly preserved and framed?

People love seeing themselves in print and like sharing the news with their family, friends, customers, and patients.

Here’s a home business opportunity I saw recently. I can’t vouch for the company, but some of you have enough skill to figure out how to do this on your own so I thought I’d pass this along to get you thinking.

From Craigslist…

Do you enjoy working with products that help customers feel good about themselves? If so, we have an immediate opening for a Sales Representative.

At That’s Great News (www.thatsgreatnews.com) we sell elegant, museum-quality laminated plaques of articles to individuals and companies that have recently been prominently featured in publications throughout the country. It’s one of the easiest products to sell ….. Our Sales Representatives find “positive related� articles from local and regional newspapers, business journals and magazines. You then find the contact information on who the article is written about; contact them via the telephone and go through a tested 14 point selling script (below in bold is the first point) ending with a “30 Day Money Back Guarantee� on all of our products.

People Notice Professionally Mounted Articles

Think about it. How many people actually saw your article? How many people did more than glance at it? How many people actually read some of it? Did you know that more people read articles that are professionally framed and mounted than ones they run across in a magazine or newspaper? Especially when it’s hanging in someone’s office, a conference room, a waiting room or a high traffic area.
