Would You Pick Up A Twenty From The Sidewalk? by Bill Roberts

Would You Pick Up A Twenty From The Sidewalk?
If you were walking along and you spotted a twenty-dollar bill on the

sidewalk, would you stoop down to pick it up, or would you kick it out of

your way?
I would pick it up. I feel no shame for having this attitude.
But everyday I encounter people that don't seem to have the time or

inclination to pocket the twenty.
I recently "joined" an opportunity that was free for me to join. I receive

cashback from merchants that I already patronize. My only obligation is ---

NONE.
My cost to participate is  ZERO. Forever, no cost. FREE for life.
I've already "picked up" hundreds of dollars. Soon to be thousands.
Now I won't say that I haven't tried a few new places to shop or dine, because

I have. We've discovered a new Italian restaurant because of the cashback

program. We like it so much, we would go there even if we didn't get

cashback, but we do.
Over all, I am very happy with the program.


Not Network Marketing


First let me state this not network marketing as you understand it.
In network marketing you would get paid to recruit people. Not with this

program. If I give you membership, I pay. Therefore, I am very careful who I

give it to.
I think that it is so great that I do want to share it with a few friends, however.
You could be one of them.
Call me for more information or read MY STORY here.


BTW, I've been a business broker for many years. About twelve years ago I

sold a commercial laundry to one of my clients. A few months ago he wanted

to talk to me about selling his business and retiring. I visited his business. I

found that he had "improved" the business significantly since I sold it to him,

but there was  still room for improvement.
One area that could use some help was customer retention. He retained

about 50% of his customers. He says that is high for his industry because of

all the people that move on a regular basis and all the competition from

other businesses offering coupons and other "deals."
I told him he needed a "Loyalty" program. We installed my cashback system

to make his customers more loyal and to attract new customers.
So far it is doing everything that we expected.

That brings up the twenty dollars I lead with. One of his customers rejected

the cashback card without even looking at it, even though his current

transaction could have resulted in receiving more than twenty dollars back

with little or no effort on his part.
Are you like that guy? Or would you at least take a look? Especially since it

costs you nothing.

It all depends on time and the store. if its a place I frequent I would likely fill it out and if its fast and convenient then OK if its a long process or I am in a hurry then I wont or may on the next visit

David, Let's assume that it is a store you shop at anyway and it only takes a couple of moments to sign up, but you can spend many hours "learning" all the nuances of the program. But that is not necessary. Once you confirm your membership you are in for life: NO COST, NO OBLIGATION.

I hope you take a look at it.

OK Mark, This is your lucky day. It is completely FREE for your lifetime.

BTW It is a lot better than picking up pennies.

I'm like Mark - a notorious penny-picker-upper, which my daughter hated when she was little, but now comes to me on how to save some $$$...

Looked at the site & bookmarked it to read tomorrow. Tonight is filled up.

Travis, When you are ready or if you just have questions, just give me a call.

And you should look through those pennies, some of them may be valuable.
