So where do you drop your "Drop Cards"

I had an appointment with my surgeon this morning - finalizing everything for tomorrow morning. I really like to get to doctor's and dentist's appointments a little early. I always carry about 25 $100 bill drop cards with me, and love inserting them inside the magazines in the waiting room. So, I continued this practice this morning, only this time, I got caught. The receptionist pulled it out of the magazine, took a look at it, went back to the other receptionist and said "Here you go, you just said you were looking for a good home-based business." A quick 5 minute interview to find out what she wanted, why, and how much commitment she had, and now she is scheduled for an overview this evening.

Since lead generation is the life blood of this business, I am always looking for opportunities to place my "drop cards" in strategic places.

Some of my favorite places other than doctor's and dentist's offices -
barber shops / hair salons
the free help wanted newspapers at restaurants
In a booth / seat waiting area for restaurants
Inside magazines - especially home based business types - at the book store
Inside financial books at the library
Waiting area for automobile repair
Waiting area in hospital - especially around labor and delivery
basically anywhere where there is seating, there are magazines, and people have captured time to spare.

If, you use drop cards and have other places where you "drop" them to develop leads and/or prospects for your business, do me a favor, drop me a line and let me know. Lets share the wealth with others who need our coaching.
