People Really Do Live the 4-hour Work Week

I recently found this article on Yahoo finance about a man that used the strategies that I have read about in Tim Ferris’s 4 hour work week to live the ultimate free life then got caught and fired. This article found a man that had figured out how to get his company to let him work remotely from home and after he started working from home was able to outsource most of his work to freelance workers in China that would do the work for far less an hour then he was making. He paid them to do the work and then spent his time relaxing and watching cat videos. Enjoying what was left over of his salary.

It is a very short article without any really interesting information in it to help me move forward but it does make something click to think about for the future and take a way from this. There is nothing so far in the partner project that couldn’t have been farmed out to someone in India.

 I could buy lists of prospects hire out a company in India to “clean the lists”, find the websites of each company look for any email addresses they can find. Split the lists into groups based on parameters that I create. Leads that make sense for us and ones that probably would not need our services and which ones might be a medium probability of working.

 I could then use a cold calling facility in the Philippines to call all of those prospects and figure out who the proper person in the company is to contact about doing some of their manufacturing. When they found the right person they could send their contact information into our CRM and our call center could set up a conference call or we could follow up ourselves. We could approach hundreds of companies every month magnifying our sales efforts and potentially our revenue. After they make the initial calls , using a system like Karma CRM I can lay out a follow up system so that starting two months after the initial call we can be following up with a handful of companies every day via phone or email. Companies that keep hearing from us then will remember us when they have a need.

All I need is to figure out how to head up the project and how to get paid commissions on all the potential business it brings in.
