For one week, make a list of all the places you go to and drive by every day. Make prospecting for customers and affiliates part of your daily life. You’ll be amazed at the number and variety of people and businesses you encounter.

Always Be Prepared – have your materials ready to go the night before and put them in your car
Be Consistent – as Jim Rohn says.. an apple a day is not the same as 7 apples on Sunday…
Get and Give good contact information – keep a notebook/post-it notes handy with pen
Follow Up, Follow Up, Follow Up – don’t waste your time by not getting contact information.
