Greetings StarlinesUSA Closers and special friends:

Sleet and snow...no problem

Icy roads... no worries!

Wind chill near zero... so what?

A hour drive... I am on it

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Mike Frazier of Louisville KY for overcoming Mr. Winter and having a huge STARka$h day. Now, Mike's first material love is his Porsche. However, today he left the German Rockit in the garage and sped around frigid Louisville in his Land Rover.

While most surrendered to the elements and hunkered down in their homes, Mike was racing around Kentucky like Junior Johnson in a 49' Ford packed with a supercharged Cadillac engine and a trunk full of Kentucky moonshine! Today Mike closed two Starkart contracts for a total of $6565.00. Mike did not tell me how much STARka$h he grabbed, but I'm sure it was easily a $2000.00 trunk load...and he didn't have to out run any Federal Agents!!

Cheers to Mike, Junior would be proud of your STARka$h run.

Lightning Strikes...and it pours STARka$h!!

Greetings StarlinesUSA Closers and special friends

 

It was less than three weeks ago, that I was pumped about telling you: "believe it or not it is possible to close four brand new Starkart sales in one day..." Believe it or not, lightning has struck again, this time in Atlanta Georgia today!!!

 

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Steve "The Alabama Slammer" Thomas for his miraculous day. The Slammer and I have been working together since 1990; so just when I thought I had seen it all, he pulls this out of his bag of tricks. Steve is old-school, he goes out and walks and knocks on doors. In addition, he does not use any electronics in his sales presentation...just a Starkart pitch book and Starkart samples. So today, going door-to-door in an Atlanta GA suburb, he closed; 1) an insurance agent; 2) an auto body shop; 3) a performance auto shop and 4) an Italian restaurant. Plus, he had closed a computer repair shop at 5PM the night before. What a great run!! The Slammer grabs well over $3,000.00 in STARka$h without ever picking up the phone.

 

Ho Ho Ho - A Sleigh Full of StarKa$h for Christmas

Holiday Greetings StarlinesUSA Closers and special friends:

Yes, it is possible to close new sales during the Holidays!

It is even possible to close new two sales in one day.

Amazingly, it is even possible to close new three sales in one day.

Believe it or not, it is now possible to close four brand new sales and earn a sleigh-full of STARka$h in one amazing pre-Christmas selling day!! Mr. Matt ( now known as the Rock God of StarlinesUSA) Coffel of Scottsdale AZ did it today.

Today it was 78 degrees here in the Valley of the Sun and a frigid 38 in Payson AZ. Matt has well over $6,000.00 STARka$h going into his account this week from 2 monster Starkart closes he made a week earlier...so he is already cashed up for a holiday trip home to Indiana and then to Marco Island FL for New Years. So, Matt could have easily rescheduled for after the 1st and hit the pool. Instead he made the 97 mile drive up the Bee Line Highway and got busy.

First, he closed a realtor and grabbed $1935.00 STARka$h commissions.
Second, he closed a dentist and snatched $1535.00 STARka$h.
Third, he closed a vet and scooped another $740.00 STARka$h.
Forth, he closed another dentist and pocketed $1535.00 STARka$h.

$5745.00 STARka$h commissions... and he will have it all in his bank before Christmas!

Cheers to the Rock God, Matt Coffel.  I have been selling ads in grocery stores back before Santa's beard turned white and I have never seen a better Holiday Closing achievement than this. Wow.

Happy Holidays to all,

Nick hits a homerun, and slides into piles of Starka$h

Nick Roberts sold a Starkart contract to the Cleveland Indians to promote their Cactus League schedule. Cheers to Nick on his cool sale...and his big handful of STARka$h.  

The Power of Online Video for Small Businesses

Today, a local business not having an effective Commercial Video on YouTube is reminiscent of not having an ad in the yellow pages back  in the day!!

 Video results are becoming increasingly common in Google's search results. Your videos stand a much better chance than your text web pages site of being shown on the first results page. On the keywords for which Google offers video results: a video has about a 50 times better chance of appearing on the first page of results than any given text page in the index.

YouTube now has 2,600,000,000 daily visitors! YouTube has now surpassed Yahoo, AOL, Bing, etc to become the #2 search engine on the web behind Google.

There are hundreds of new articles stating just how effective videos are in helping local businesses.  Here are a few, and we will post more in our next blog.

"The Alabama Slammer" grabs Starka$h right in time for the weekend

Greetings StarlinesUSA Closers and special friends:

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Steve "The Alabama Slammer" Thomas of Atlanta GA for his Friday afternoon StarlinesUSA Happy Hour achievements.

Steve has been working the mean streets of Atlanta Georgia now for about a year. As you can imagine, there are lots of poor neighborhoods where selling anything to anybody is difficult. Steve needs to works long hard hours walking door-to-door in humid summers and cold Georgia winters to keep the STARka$h flowing. Plus, the commute traffic in Atlanta metro is brutal. It is not uncommon for Steve to drive 90 minutes to and from the area is he working.

So on Friday afternoon at 2:30PM ( almost happy hour), it would have  been easy for Steve to knock-off after a sale to his doppelganger ( John E. Thomas) and drive to his home in East Atlanta...about a hour away. Instead, he walked door-to-door for another 2 hours with no results; seems like most of the owners had already tossed it in. As he began heading home, he spotted a plumbing truck. He recognized the name of business because he had walked into the plumber's shop the day before and the owner was not in. Here's where the story gets good!! Steve turned around and followed the truck back to the shop and hailed the owner down in the parking lot!! "I've only got a few minutes but I'll take a look at what you got" . Bingo! Steve closed the Starkart sale and grabbed an additional $535.00 STARka$h at 5:25PM during the peak of the StarlinesUSA Happy Hour.

Cheers to The Alabama Slammer for his happy hour success.

Jim
