Your Questions About Direct Marketing Companies
Sandy asks…
List of individuals who have a suspended drivers license?
I am doing some direct marketing and need a list of people in my area (manatee county FL) who currently have a suspended drivers license. I am willing to pay for this service but obviously free is always good. Thank you in advance for your help.
Jere answers:
I doubt that you can get names of people. That falls under the privacy act.
But you may be able to get the NUMBER of people from the service that reinstates licenses.
And I say “service” because I know that suspended registrations are reinstated by a service that is outsourced by the DMV. So maybe it’s the same with drivers licenses.
Maybe find out the most common reason for suspended license, like lack of insurance, and market to insurance companies.

How can I join US direct selling/MLM/Network Marketing Company?
Hi, I’m not a person. In registration page, I only see USA and its states. Is it possible to join in US direct selling/MLM/Network Marketing Company after I form a “Limited Liability Company” and then join them with the name of that LLC?
Jere answers:
Nope, u have to join as a person
under federal laws/guidelines.
If u last and climb the pay grades u may
find it needed to do LLC.
Does not save u on taxes and cost more
to run every year.

How much do direct mailers cost?
I am starting my own image consulting company and I have read that I direct mailers are a good way to market my company. I just need some prices if anyone has used them.
Jere answers:
Printing can range from 15 to 6 cents (4×6 postcard) depending on quantity ordered
Mailing services 3 to 6 cents a piece
postage can be as low as 19 or 20 cents…but only if you use a professional mailing service ( because they sort/sequence the mail a special way) Of course pricing also depends on who you hire to do it.
…oh….and if you are going to mail to “every resident” in a specific route or area the postage can get as low as 14 cents.
There are some good direct mail tips on my personal site www.doranpeck.com and I am open to questions.
….the thing to remember about your direct mail….regard it as a vehicle for response rather than expecting it to actaully make the sale….that part is up to you personally.
..But until they actually respond…until they take that first step in the business relationship…none of the next ones will ever happen….so don’t be conservative…do what ever it takes to motivate them….then, its up to you to create a lifestime customer.

Is it better to have a steady job or work off commision?
I have been working for this sales and marketing company, called tmc we sale whole sale fragrances. I used to work at whataburger and now I am makin 1,000 to 5 grand a week. I made 250 at whataburger, the only catch is if sales go down I can make only like 700 in one week. Should I chance it a keep savings Or go to my old job? We get insurences there and weekly bonuses who sales the most and profit share.
Jere answers:
What are your available financial resources for the weeks when Commission sales may be slow? Also, as you indicated, there are no Benefits , so Health Ins. And related items, are your direct responsibility. And they may cost you significantly more than the ‘group benefits’ at whataburger.
It’s your call; can you work at both places?
