So a salesman just came to my door.... and I sold him on Steemit. He's now taking a lunch to go sign up and investigate more.

Thats you you do it folks. Steemit is the easiest pitch you are ever make. It's what most people refer to as a "no-brainer". 

So I was outside chatting with this guy for the last 20 minutes straight, and no it wasn't about his exterminator services, it was about Steemit, social media & making money in the 21st century and it wen't as follows:

We started of talking about how he was quite the hard worker and had been walking around my neighborhood in he grueling heat for a few hours, and was going to be here for a few more. Now while I totally needed his services to get rid of these ants, I saved that for the end. I started out by complimenting his work ethic, which in turn made me feel required to let him in on our little Steemy secret we have here.

Next thing you know I found myself telling him about how I was making a KILLING writing things on the internet, instead of walking around in the hot sun selling things, which was obviously MUCH harder. He then got the most curious look on his face and just sat there and listened while I dropped the almighty knowledge of Steemit on him. We later finished up and I grabbed his number so I could hire his company for pest contorl services, but not before having me give hi my referral link on his ipad. All in all, it was an uber success and I'm glad I said something to this young man.

This just goes to show you can tell anyone, and should be telling everyone, about Steemit folks.

As I said in my previous posts, go tell your friends, go tell strangers go tell everyone! It will do nothing but benefit Steemit, yourself and everyone along the way. Think about your fellow humans and spread the word before all the rich companies find out about this awesome platform! #SpreadTheWealth

It never takes me more than 10 seconds to peak ANYONE's interest in Steemit. Trying to do the same with Bitcoin and Ethereum was an experience in futility. So far, anyways. As people learn about Steemit, and wish to cash out, they'll learn about Ethereum and Bitcoin. Ahhh...how it's all come together, in an easy way, for the mainstream :) Cheers, my friend.

TRUE :)

That's sweet brotherman. I've actually had a few conversations about Steemit with randos. I hope the salesguy sees this post.

Great post mate:)

Boom! Now that's how you close a sale.
