Did you catch that? Paying customers!

There are paying customer lines longer than job interview lines - in this market!

It's true!

Creative Biomass in MA had a line of paying customers for wood pellets at the site of their soon to be built mfg plant that was longer than the line for job interviews for the 30 new positions it needed to fill. Did you catch that? The plant hadn't even been built yet when customers lined up to buy! http://www.creativebiomass.com/


Self-funded Proxycomm launched in January of this year and now boasts over 9,000 customers and distributors. Did you catch that? SELF-FUNDED!!

Check their Live stat and watch them grow - or better still, get a glove and get in the game by becoming a distributor.



Or look at all the innovative ways Walgreen's is changing how healthcare is consumed and delivered with their in store Take Care clinics or their onsite programs at major companies like Level 3 Communications. And the lines of paying customers just keep growing! Did you catch that? Paying customers.....


So if you think "waiting until customers start buying again" is a strategy for success, read on.

Customers haven't stopped buying - they're making choices about what matters and what doesn't. What they need vs what they don't. What they want vs what's just a really nice thing to have.

It's business as usual, from way back when there were no VCs and no "uncollateralized debt instruments" to trade in Ponzi scheme markets until the last fool cried "foul" because we ran out of fools. (but I digress)

So if you don't have a line at your door of paying customers, get a glove and get in the game!

Gotta go now.... phone's ringing, paying customers are calling. Did you catch that?
