Sure, door-to-door “sales” conjures up images of Avon ladies and girl scouts, but don’t let that taint you.

After all, if getting a gig is a matter of who you know, then you had better get out there and get to know people.

Eat your Wheaties, grab a handful of business cards and your portfolio and hit the road. Introduce yourself, make an appointment to come back again, and be sure to ASK for their business.

If you don’t ask them and keep reminding them to call you, use you, think of you, keep you in mind, etc. Then they won’t.

So shave your face, iron your khakis and get out there!
