Today I approached many people in two gas stations, in three grocery stores (one of them I went back to twice), a bakery outlet and a tire shop. Altogether, ten people were willing to take the card and check out the website but only five were willing to give me their phone, and e-mail. An additional three were willing to give their phone but not their e-mail.Since I am approaching complete strangers I can understand their reluctance to give me personal information. It could be that I don't have the "pitch" down yet and consequently the confidence or trust is not built quickly enough.
It was a fun day on the street but I have to say that I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the set up part, the blog, the you tube. These things are completely new to me and I can see they are going to take some getting used to.

Hi, Tom,
You are doing great. It's really a challenge to walk up to perfect strangers and you are having really great results.
You much braver than I am--since I'm mainly talking to people who already know me and know I'm a little bit loopy.
As for the technology, remember you have a whole family here. Any one of us who has already set up the YouTube would be happy to talk you through any questions. Believe me, we're all figuring this out together!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Tom.
Your friend,
Jean
Wow! I am so impressed with your results yesterday. Having 10 people accept your card was awesome. Yes, 5 gave you information so you can follow-up on them but 10 took your card. Way to go! Pretty soon the Blog and YouTube will be second nature. And, please don't think you have to YouTube every day. Every few days is fine. :)
