First create a Great Service..
This is probably the most important factor to decide upon. You either have a good idea for
a service, or you don't. If the service is poor, or unsuitable for delivery over the phone,
drop it, and consider another one. In the manual we discuss:
- the telephone services with the greatest potential
- mass market services, and why they may not suit you
- niche services, small but highly profitable
- which services are currently breaking the records
- how to develop your own services
- avoid poor services - with so many possibilities, why promote a loser.

Second, you must build traffic..
Once you have created your service you must now attract the callers. There are hundreds,
if not thousands of books on marketing, but very few which can tell you how to promote
telephone services successfully. We at PPS have spent 15 years learning the hard way, by
trial and error. Fortunately you won't have to do that! The Manual covers all the most
effective methods for building traffic.
