The difference between our system of teaching salesmanship and some of the salesmanship schools, is that we are not an assembly of impractical professors who never sold a dollar’s worth of merchandise in their lives and only teach you theory. We are a large business organization, whose business is and always has been selling merchandise. We tell you in plain, understandable English the successful methods we and our salesmen have used in the past and are using to-day. Not theory, but practical experience—common sense.
WHO ARE YOU?
If you are a married woman and have some spare time, we will show you how to earn $25 to $50 per week during your spare hours.
If you are a single girl and will devote all your time to our proposition, we will show you how to earn $100 per week or more.
If you are a man, the same opportunities are offered you.
On the following pages we will outline some of the plans from which you can select. Each one of these plans gives you an opportunity to take our complete course in salesmanship absolutely free, right while you are getting actual selling experience. You earn while you learn!
PLAN NO. 1
If we were to tell you that within one month we can make it possible for you to become Circulation Manager for your local daily newspaper, you would probably doubt us. Nevertheless, we can do this very thing if you will follow our instructions and if you possess ordinary intelligence, plenty of energy and lots of ambition. If you owned a newspaper and some one came to you with a plan that would almost double your subscriptions, wouldn’t you want to employ them?
Before we tell you the details of this plan we are going to tell you some facts about the newspaper business. Do you know that the two cents which you pay for your daily paper does not pay for the cost of the paper and printing? Perhaps you wonder how a publisher can make any money. His profit comes from selling advertising space. The amount they receive for advertising space depends on how many subscribers they have. For instance, a paper which has 5,000 subscribers receives $100 from a store for a full page advertisement. Now, if they can increase the number of subscribers to 10,000 they would receive $200 for the same ad. This ad would be read by twice as many people, therefore, it would be worth twice as much to the store. Now you can see why the newspapers want to increase their number of subscribers and why they are interested in anyone who can show them how to do it.
Almost every daily paper sells a ten weeks’ subscription for $1. They will pay 35 cents each to a solicitor for getting new subscriptions and will also pay him 35 cents each for getting renewals from old subscribers, provided he secures cash in advance.
