Never give up!

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs.  Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger.  If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.  ~Dale Carnegie

I remember that I have a client who absolutely refused to advertise with me at my place of work for reasons that shall go unexplained. I spent 2 years calling him, following up, discussing, just going around and around on something that seemed absolutely fruitless. This customer just would not give in to a good thing! After more than 200 contacts with this client, I was finally able to sit down with him in person. He ended up buying more than $2,000.00 worth of advertising from me! If I would have given up after he told me no those first 3 times, I would never have succeeded and I never would have gotten the sale. Be persistant, never give up! It's those that keep trying after falling down so many times that are successful! 

Make it a great day!
