    Parents In Need of $$$ Here is some good news!!!
    James Robert Duke says (03 Feb '13)

    Many of you know of the calamity my family and I are going through. Partly due to my own actions.
    .
    Well today we went out and knocked on doors selling the medical alert pendant systems in a local senior community. I have been at it for a week now and have sold zero. Yes zero! Think it was meant to be.
    .
    I did come up with an idea and bought 10 No Solicting signs for $1 each. Even with my 12 year old boy with NO ONE yes NOT ONE Senior would poney up with $5 to buy one!!! Confused as heck and very demoralized after a couple of hours of abuse from the seniors we went back to the Extended Stay were we have been staying for the last three weeks.
    .
    After eating lunch I decided to take Billy my middle boy who is 12 door to door soliciting businesses selling No Soliciting Signs. But I decided to lower the price down to $3 after all we do buy them for $1 and that's triple up. Walmart and KMart have them for .99 cents. Lowe's and Homedepot will match!
    .
    We sold out in about 30 mins. Then went to another Lowe's bought al they had which was ony 7 and sold them before we got out of that strip mall. Went to KMart and got 11 and a Homedepot and got another 8. We sold 12 more before it got late and we quite for the day. OMG what a deal. Making $2 profit and they sell without resistance in businesses!!!! Crazy I know huh!!! Solicitors Selling No Soliciting Signs!!!! What a concept and it works!!! Here's the pitch and I don't think it would work without my son along:
    "HI I'm Jim Duke and this is my son Billy. I'm helping Billy who has started his own business! Billy has started a business that will help you! He can help you keep solicitors out of your business! Billy show them...(Billy holds up the sign) Billy has started a business Selling No Soliciting Signs! They are only $3 and if you buy one today he will install it for free! (We both smile big and shut up) I'm telling you just about every one is a sale. If it's a corporate store we add...If you buy one today he can install it for free or you can take it home with you and use it there! (important to smile big and shut up now) they will close themselves. I do most of the talking but do make him pitch some. He has phonological disorder and is hard for some to understand especially when he get's excited and he loves doing this. Especially as the $$$ started to fill his pockets!!! We are taking tomorrow off but back at it Monday. Tomorrow rest, Worship and of course....SuperBowl!!! Pizza, Chips & Salsa with queso dip and Wendy's Famous Meatballs!!! Kids are siked!!! Peace, Love and Harmany Grit Sandwiches for Breakfast!!!
