I’m not even sure why I’m taking to you. I can’t afford what you’re selling and it won’t fix what is broken. I’m 64. I’ll be 65 in a few months. My health is OK, but not the greatest. I have a very small amount in retirement, but nowhere near enough to live on.
I have obligations and a wife whom I love dearly, but I really can’t support her. I knew everything I had to do, but I just never got it done. I guess I was just too stubborn. I didn’t want to do [business] managed services; I wanted to do residential, but I didn’t know how to sell it. Yet I didn’t go to sales training. I tried a little f this marketing and a little of that, but nothing seemed to work. I’ve now had this aha moment – but it came pretty late.
I don’t really know what to do. Maybe I’ll go sell cars or something. But who would hire a 65-year-old with no experience? There’s no way to go back and undo what I’ve done, no rerun button. So here I sit. I have 100 residential clients, and really want 200 – but no one wants to buy this great service I have for $40/month."
