Here’s What Some of My Profit Patrol
Members
Had to Say:
“I just
returned from a famous dental marketer’s conference, and I
showed them the Yellow Page advertising I created with your Instant
Yellow Page Profits™ Mastery System. The marketing experts
giving the conference said in their 20 years of consulting to dentists,
it was the best dental Yellow Page advertising they had ever seen!
Thanks Larry.”
-Dr. Jeffrey Prager, DDS
“Understanding
and using direct response marketing in Yellow Page advertising makes
perfect sense! The segment by segment format made for easy reading
and understanding. This is the first time I’ve been confident
enough to run a full page ad. I’m excited about my ad and
how I will stand out from the other dental ads in the book. Thanks
again!”
-Dr. Stella’s Children’s Dentistry
“This
is the first time in 22+ years of practice I feel confident about

now brings in an average of 7 calls per week, up from 3.8 calls
per week. But the amazing part is that the conversion to sale on
these patients is now UP from 32% to 40%! I use it in the Yellow
Pages and my local newspaper.”
- Dr. Alexander Covey
“Larry’s
Yellow Page advertising systems have proven themselves to be the
industry standard with tens of millions of dollars of documented

forth in an endless stream. I know Larry’s Instant Yellow
Page Profits systems blow all the other imitators away.”
-Rich Selby

making money with our Yellow Page advertising, but now by taking
some of Larry’s advice, we are going to generate a LOT more
revenue over the coming years. Heck, we spend almost $50,000 per
year on Yellow Page advertising right now. Once we get these ads
changed and upgraded over the next few months, we will be getting
probably $3 or $4 to $1 Return On Investment! I give Larry my highest
recommendation.”

the Yellow Pages advertising! I had to put in a 12 hour day just

involved, and is much more compelling than possible before!”

“Are You Still Struggling
to Make Your
Yellow Page Advertising Highly Profitable?”
If you’re struggling to make your Yellow Page
advertising highly profitable, here’s your solution
that brings your profits right to you.
Dear Fellow Yellow Page Advertiser:
After 30 years of personal Yellow Page advertising experience, I have
become America’s most trusted resource and foremost expert in Yellow
Page profits. In an average year, I review over 731 Yellow Page ads to
increase their profits, and custom design more than 100 Yellow Page ads.
What I am going to reveal to you here, less than 1 in 1000 business owners
know. So turn off all your electronic devices, close your door, and make
sure you aren’t disturbed while you are reading this letter. Now
I’ll reveal to you the most costly common myths that cause Yellow
Page advertising to fail, and the insider secrets that make Yellow Page
advertising extremely profitable.
The 3 Most Common Advertising Myths
that Cause Advertising to Fail.
The first myth is that if you build a better mousetrap
the world will beat a path to your door. That myth was perpetuated by
Emerson who lived and died a poor preacher. He had no experience in business,
and no successes. I don’t think it’s wise to follow the wealth
and success advice of someone who had neither.
I prefer to follow the advice of people like Bill Glazer. He’s
a self-made millionaire many times over and one of the brightest marketing
minds I know. Bill very accurately describes business as a three legged
stool. It takes all 3 legs for your business to remain standing.
The first leg is your skills, education and training.
The second leg is your office, equipment and vehicles.
And the third leg of your stool is your marketing that automatically feeds
your business new clients.
Without all 3 legs, you will never have the success you deserve in business.
The truth is a guy with excellent marketing and an average product will
do better than a guy with an excellent product, and average marketing.
Now I’m not saying to not have a good product or service, all I’m
saying is that when you dovetail great marketing with the excellent skills
and products you already have… that is when you position your business
to be most profitable.
The second myth that causes business failure is that
if you grow your business at faster than 20% per year, you will go broke
due to cash flow problems. Well now that America is more mobile than ever,
more people are moving due to job changes and retirement than ever before.
The current rate an average business loses customers is now 19.6%
So if you are only growing your business at 20%, you’re only replacing
the clients you’re
losing. To maintain only 10% growth per year, you need to attract 30%
new clients. And to achieve more aggressive growth of 25% per year you
would have to attract 45% new clients after you factor in the rate of
attrition of your existing clients.
The third myth is that you should be doing Image advertising.
Image advertising is like Nike, Coca Cola, and Target where you advertise
to build your logo and Image in the consumers mind.
What they forgot to tell you was that it cost these companies
about $150 Million dollars and about 5 years to build that image. Then
it costs about $5-10 Million per year to maintain that Image. Image
advertising is totally unrealistic for any small business person. What
small businesses need to be using is Direct Response Marketing in their
Yellow Page advertising. Direct Response Marketing is effective, efficient,
and professional. Direct Response Marketing has been described by Direct
Response expert Dan Kennedy as, “the quickest path to the sale”.
Why Yellow Pages?
I’ve seen my clients double and triple their profits from their
Yellow Page advertising once they’ve included the direct response
Yellow Page advertising triggers I teach. And there’s Billions of
dollars of goods and services sold every year thru the Yellow Pages. It’s
where the High-end BUYERS are. With Yellow Pages, the audience is far
more predisposed to buy than any other Media.
Consumers pick up the Yellow Pages to make a purchase a staggering
84% of the time!!! And the largest segment of Yellow Page buyers
industry statistics show are the high income earners. The 5 reasons you
want to target the high income earners are;
1) They’re least affected by swings in the economy
2) They’re worth 500% more in lifetime customer value than any
other market segment
3) They’re loyal to service and convenience not price
4) They’re the fastest growing segment of our economy
5) Targeting them enables you to do less and make more, so it improves
your margin on every sale! We’re going to cover more about why it’s
imperative that you target this high-end group later in this letter.
Now, here are 4 HUGE reasons the Yellow Pages
gives you a competitive advantage:
1) Yellow Pages is the Media of buyers. Industry studies show that an
astounding 84% of prospects that pick up a Yellow Pages directory make
a purchase!
2) The second HUGE advantage is Yellow Page advertising gives you perfect
timing of the delivery of your marketing message and offer. It’s
the only Media that does this automatically. Your prospect sees your advertising
at the exact moment that they’re ready to buy! PERFECT TIMING OF
YOUR MARKETING MESSAGE IS A HUGE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE!
3) The 3rd HUGE advantage is that the biggest group, 38%, of all Yellow
Page buyers are the top 20% of income earners that control 47% of ALL
the disposable income. While most business owners think that the Yellow
Pages is the Media of “price-shoppers and tire-kickers”, savvy
marketers are reaping HUGE profits by serving the elite status, expensive
tastes, and luxurious wants of this group of high-end, free-spending consumers.
4) The 4th HUGE advantage is that most Yellow Page advertising is interchangeable
with their competition. They do nothing to stand out as different in a
way that their ideal target prospect would find attractive. This makes
Yellow Pages the ideal Media to apply Direct Response Marketing.
The Yellow Pages is a business owners Gold Mine as an Evergreen source
of new cash clients. This creates an automatic conveyor belt bringing
you qualified, presold new clients to build your business year after year!!!
The most highly paid and respected Direct Marketer I know is Dan Kennedy.
He teaches you to use 3 Medias to build your database of ideal clients.
The first Media is Direct Mail. The second is Yellow Pages. And the third
is Val Pac, Money Mailer, piggyback type mailers. So this applies to both
the Yellow Page advertising and Val Pac/Money Mailer piggyback mailers
you should be using to build your database of ideal clients.
And once you have dynamite direct response Yellow Page advertising with
these 12 response triggers, that does well in the most competitive Media
side-by-side with all your competitors, you can easily and quickly remodel
it into a newspaper or magazine ad, Free Standing Insert, postcard, flier,
door hanger, website, or other promotional piece so there are 7 more ways
to leverage this information.
Even if you don’t ever do Yellow Page advertising, you
can use these strategies in other Medias very profitably and very successfully.
What are the Problems with Yellow Page Advertising?
You may have already tried Yellow Page advertising and not got the profits
you expected. It’s not your fault that you didn’t get the
results you thought you would, and here’s why…
· The problem with Yellow Page advertising is it’s
the most competitive Media, so you really need to know what you’re
doing.
· It’s the only Media where you’re listed side-by-side
with all your competitors’ ads.
· It’s expensive. You pay monthly payments all year, even
for a bad ad.
· It’s not like regular advertising that you can cancel after
a month.
· You have to sign a contract for what’s essentially an annual
lease of the space, and you pay every month whether the ad is profitable
or not.
· You can’t make changes in your advertising until next year,
once it’s gone to press.
· It’s not a good Media to test in. It would take 5 years
to do 5 single variable tests.
· You can’t choose where your ad appears on the page.
· If your ad lands in the wrong place on the page, response can
plummet by 10 times. I once had a small in-column ad that returned $10
for every dollar I spent on the ad. I was
really happy with that, so I placed the exact same ad the next year. I
didn’t change a coma
or a character. Everything was identical, but the ad landed in a bad spot
on the page and my response fell from 10 to 1, to 1 to 1. That was an
expensive lesson to learn because I had to wait a whole year to fix the
problem. That cost me a lot of money!
· And then there are the Yellow Page reps.
Here Are 7 Things that Make Me Really Mad
About Yellow Page Ad Reps.
1) They want to design your advertising, but have no real education about
what causes prospects to respond to Yellow Page advertising. They are
only trained in upselling you extras that frequently do not increase profits
or response.
2) They give you all kinds of horrible advice to steer you in the direction
they want you to go.
3) They’ll say, “We’ll just use the information on your
business card”.
4) They’ll tell you things like you need more open space to draw
the eye. But I’ve never seen a prospect respond to blank space.
The truth is, “Blank space never sold anything to anybody”.
If blank space worked, you could send out blank postcards with just your
phone number, and get response. Of course that doesn’t work in postcards,
and it doesn’t work in Yellow Page advertising either. It’s
always the ad with the most compelling bait, and the most “reasons
why” that wins the most profits and new clients possible.
5) They’ll lie to you and tell you you’ll get “as many
proofs as necessary”, but the system is set up to give you your
proof at the last minute, frequently without any time to make the necessary
changes. And more proofs just mean more trips and work for the rep. So
they delay getting you your ad proof, and then a bad ad goes to press.
And guess who gets to pay for the bad ad all year. Yea you, that’s
right.
6) Your business hemorrhages profits every month because you took their
advice. What you didn’t realize is that they are under orders to
homogenize all the ads. To make them all look the same. Because Yellow
Page publishers feel that it creates a liability issue for them if they
design 1 ad better than another. That is why you absolutely have to take
over all typesetting and layout to get exactly what will guarantee you
the highest profits and the most new clients possible.
7) They’ll give you a list of commonly used words under your Yellow
Page heading so that “you can look just as professional as the rest
of the ads”. But that is horrible advice because what you want your
advertising to do is stand out in a favorable and positive way that highlights
your uniqueness. I suggest that if you are ever offered a list of commonly
used words under your Yellow Page heading, that you use it as a guide
of the words to avoid using in your Yellow Page advertising. Then you’re
guaranteed to stand out as different.
With all this misinformation, it’s amazing anyone gets outstanding
results from their Yellow Page advertising. It’s no wonder so many
business owners have tried Yellow Page advertising and failed. It is really
the Yellow Page sales reps. and publishers that I feel are responsible
for making none of the ads stand out to the prime target prospect.
The Solution
What’s essential in any business is a consistent supply of new
clients. The Yellow Pages is my favorite Evergreen marketing strategy.
It allows you to have a continuous flow of prescreened, presold prospects.
Once it’s set up, it works automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week for a whole year!
Here’s 10 Things You Will Want to Include
in Your Yellow Page Advertising
1) What you want to do in Yellow Page and all print advertising is
to stand out as different in a favorable way, and to offer more than
your competition.
2) You want to answer the 2 key questions in your ideal target prospects
mind.
3) You want to have your ad 10 times more credible than your competitors.
4) You want to learn what words to never use in your Yellow Page advertising.
5) You want to learn how to expand the profits of your ad without having
to pay for a larger, more costly one.
6) You want to take control of the layout, and have it reviewed by an
expert before it is published.
7) You want to use the 4 secret words that double Yellow Page advertising
response.
8) You want to permanently eliminate the need for referrals.
9) You want to know when is the right time to pay extra for color in
your ad or a white knockout background, and when those extras are a
total waste of money.
10) You want to give your ideal target prospect the highest number of
and most compelling reasons to call you IMMEDIATELY.
You do that by using the 12 Yellow Page Response Triggers ™ I’m
going to share with you in a minute, or at least use The 6 Essential Response
Triggers ™, no matter how small your Yellow Page advertising is.
You also need to understand the 9 Myths of Yellow Page advertising detailed
in the Gold Mastery System, so that you’re not fooled by the 9 most
costly, common myths.
That brings up two common misconceptions about Yellow Page advertising:
1) Misconception number 1 is that the physical Yellow
Pages book will be replaced by the Internet. I thought that too in 1998
that there would be no more physical book by the year 2000, but the
reality is that the Internet just added another Media. It didn’t
replace one. The same thing happened when email was introduced. There
were experts who said that postal mail would cease to exist and be replaced
by email, but what happened is it just added another Media. Postal mail
still thrives today, and so do the Yellow Pages. Yellow Pages just celebrated
their 130th year with the highest usage of Yellow Pages ever! The truth
is the Yellow Page advertising is more viable than ever today because
many businesses are distracted by the Internet and trying to make their
websites convert to sales. Customers are still going where they are
trained to go, to the printed Yellow Pages to find what they want.
2) Misconception number 2 is that Yellow Page advertising
doesn’t work. It isn’t the Media that doesn’t work.
It’s your use of the Media that didn’t work. I built 3 businesses
on Yellow Page advertising alone, and know of several businesses that
generate over $1 Million dollars a year in revenues from their Yellow
Page advertising!
Is Advertising Ethical and Professional?
Some Doctors and business owners feel that advertising is unethical and
unprofessional. Let me tell you the story about Dr. Kellogg who invented
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. Dr Kellogg was a Doctor that felt advertising
was unethical. And the story goes that Mr. Post came to visit Dr. Kellogg’s
health spa as a client. While he was there, he was reported to have stolen
some recipes and shortly after his visit came out with “Postem”-
a copy of Dr. Kellogg’s health drink. He then came out with “Post
Toasties” which was a copy of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
Mr. Post became the first cereal millionaire not because he had
the product first, but because he advertised his product first.
This happens all the time in business. If you don’t advertise, it’s
just a matter of time until you’re beat by a competitor who does.
Maybe you’re already getting beat by your competition. I don’t
think that operating your business at half its’ capacity increases
your professionalism or makes you look more ethical! Every strategy I
teach is both ethical and professional. Here’s what you can do to
beat your competition every time with your Yellow Page advertising.
Highly Profitable Yellow Page Advertising
The most highly profitable Yellow Page advertising has a good headline
with the most compelling reasons to respond, based on the ideal target
prospects most cherished wants, and the other 11 Yellow Page Response
Triggers™. What you want your ad to do is stand out, not blend in
with the other ads. The “design factory” at the publisher
has over 20,000 ads to layout to complete the book, and can commit less
than 20 minutes total to the planning, content, and physically layout
your ad. The layout guy quickly sees that if he can do each ad in only
15 minutes, he looks like a hero to his boss, and he can take a long lunch
break. This is not the system you want to do any of the creative
part or layout of your Yellow Page advertising.
BUT HERE’S THE MOST SURPRISING THING! The Yellow Page publishers’
goal is to have all the ads look as much alike as possible so that no
business can claim another business got preferential treatment or more
time spent on their ad. The publishers’ goal is to have
the ads all look the same to reduce complaints that one advertiser got
more attention or preferential treatment! They feel there’s a liability
issue there so they homogenize your ad content. If you have the
publishers do ANY of the layout of your Yellow Page advertising, YOU’RE
MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE THAT KILLS PROFITS! Your ad will have no
chance to stand out from the competition.
Let’s Review the 12 Yellow Page Response Triggers™
1) USP- Unique Selling Proposition-Your USP should take
into consideration both positioning and targeting. What most Yellow Page
advertising targets is the low end, price-shoppers. I suggest that you
target the underserved high-end prospect by giving them choices that suit
their elite status, expensive tastes and luxurious wants. The highest
profits will come from serving the top 20% of income earners that control
47% of the disposable income. That’s why it is essential to the
health and profitability of your business that you target this market
segment. 38% of Yellow Page buyers are in the top 20% of income earners
that have 47% of the disposable income!!! I’ve had Walt Disney’s
grandson worth a half a billion dollars call on my Yellow Page ad. Barbara
Mandrel the award winning singer, Tim Salmon of the California Angels
baseball fame, professional athletes, famous actors and musicians all
called me from my Yellow Page advertising. I can tell you from experience;
this is where the high end shoppers go to make a purchase. Remember these
people are avid consumers. It would be impossible for them to get a referral
right before they buy everything they’re going to buy. And that’s
when they go to the Yellow Pages to make a purchase.
Most business owners make the mistake of sending their message to everyone
and not defining a narrow target market that would be less expensive to
reach, and more profitable to sell to like the high end consumer. You
want to know how to stand out as a specialist, not a generalist. What
you want to do in the targeting of your Yellow Page advertising is speak
to a specific type of tree, not the forest.
2) A Benefit-laden Headline- The reason you want a great
headline is people scan the headlines just like they would if they were
reading a newspaper. Then they return to the headlines that were interesting
to them to read the rest of the copy under those headlines. If you don’t
attract your ideal target prospect with your headline, what’s in
the rest of the ad doesn’t matter because they won’t ever
read it.
3) Guarantee- Yes, the “G-word”. G-words
are so good, they are music to your prospects ears. Your G-word you want
to communicate is your GUARANTEE. The reason that you want to put a guarantee
in your ad is it reduces the risk of the prospect doing business with
you. Your guarantee shows that you take pride in your business, and that
you are willing to stand behind what you do. This is also an easy way
to separate your business from your competition. A guarantee gives you
a competitive advantage over everyone that doesn’t have a guarantee.
If you can’t use the word guarantee for legal reasons, there are
strategies specifically for physicians, dentists and chiropractors in
the Gold Mastery system that can accomplish the same thing.
4) Testimonials- The reason you want to use testimonials
is they are 10 X more believable than anything that you can say about
yourself. Testimonials are one of the most potent weapons a business owner
has in his arsenal. They can’t be overused. Not only do testimonials
provide social proof that you are a good value, but the feedback from
your clients is the best market research you can get, at any price. How
valuable would it be to you to know what every patient is happy or potentially
unhappy about, but not mad enough to complain about in person?
Testimonials as market research tell you 4 very important things.
a) What else you could sell your ideal target prospect.
b) What frustrates your ideal target prospects.
c) What attracted them and what will attract others just like them.
d) It will identify the nut cases that are determined to make sure you
never make a penny on them that need to be immediately purged from your
business. You just respectfully decline their business and refer them
to your competition. Let them get bogged down because they have no system
to side-step a problem client.
The other thing that testimonials do is they accelerate the “word
of mouth” referral process. People can see what others have said
without having to be there to hear it themselves. You can use this to
dominate the most high income prospects in your area and your competition
will never figure out what you are doing.
I recommend that you use the testimonial collection system detailed in
the Instant Yellow Page Profits ™ Gold Mastery System, to get every
client to obligate themselves to give you a testimonial. People look to
others behavior to see what would be a good decision for them, and they
use others testimonials as a decision making shortcut. That’s why
testimonials work so well in Yellow Page advertising.
5) Offer- The reason that you want to have an offer
is because it causes the ideal target prospect to call you first. The
offer is what causes people to call you right now. Scanners will read
the offer first, and be triggered to read the whole ad if they find the
offer interesting, and compelling. But the offer must appear in the right
place in the ad and in the right sequence. This is critical.
6) Phone Number, Offer for FREE Advice- There are tricks
of how to position your phone number in the ad, and how to display multiple
phone numbers to increase response. They have to do with the layout which
is too complicated to explain here, but it’s explained in detail
in the resources available in the chapter on layout in the Instant Yellow
Page Profits™ Gold Mastery System.
7) Photos and Graphics- The reason that you want to
use a good photo or graphic is because studies have shown that this is
where the eye is drawn to first in the ad. Ads with a photo or graphic
will be more responsive than an ad without a photo or graphic. But putting
the photo or graphic in the wrong place in the ad can draw attention to
the ad next to yours. This is a mistake I see in a lot of Yellow Page
advertising which winds up drawing the attention to their competition’s
ad. That’s a costly common mistake. Also using a photo that does
not directly relate to your marketing message is another mistake I see
in a lot of Yellow Page advertising.
8) Bullets- The reason you want to have bullet points
is so that your ideal target prospect can easily scan the list of benefits
you offer. The bullets should list all the reasons why a prospect should
choose your business over any and all other choices.
9) Secondary Means of Response- A Secondary Means of
Response gives your ideal target prospect answers to their questions 24
hours a day, and gives you a big competitive advantage over your competition.
Prospects are not all convinced in the same way. Give your prospects multiple
reasons to respond. Recorded messages are perceived to be more truthful
than a live person, because you can’t change it as you go along.
People are more likely to believe and trust a recorded message than someone
“live”. So not only is it a waste of time to do it in person
and say the same thing every time they call, but you lose some credibility.
And after listening to the recorded message, prospects will call you presold
and ready to buy now. I transformed my incoming call from, “What
do you charge?” to “When can you do it?” That’s
the difference in preselling that a FREE recorded message can do robotically
for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
10) Call to Action- Having a clear call to action can
double your Yellow Page advertising profits. What you want to do is spell
out, in words a child could understand, how to order and what to do next.
11) Choose the right size ad and heading selection to
maximize exposure and response. You definitely want to avoid ad sizes
that get you positioned in a bad spot on the page, because it kills response.
There’s too much to go into here, but the best ad sizes and the
ones you need to avoid are detailed in the layout chapter of the Gold
Mastery system.
12) Psychological Sequence, Continuity, and Layout- Your
Yellow Page advertising format needs to match your target prospects emotional
wants and train of thought. Just like selling in person has a sequence,
so does ALL print advertising. You want to build as much value and credibility
as possible before you ask for them to call you. The eye needs to flow
thru the ad and 12 Yellow Page Response Triggers™ in an uninterrupted
path to gain the most trust and credibility. The layout chapter diagrams
exactly how to get the eye flow and the exact locations of all 12 Yellow
Page Response Triggers™ so you will get the layout perfect every
time for the highest possible profits.
Why Do You Need the Instant Yellow Page Profits™
Mastery System?
For any business, marketing development precedes income development.
In America, we’ve been taught to focus on technical skills. Emerson
taught that if you “build a better mousetrap, the world will beat
a path to your door”. But what business owners find when
they get out in the real business world is they get the best skills, they
get the best equipment, but they’re still not booked solid!
But I’ve found that when business owners dovetail excellent Yellow
Page advertising and marketing with the excellent skills they already
possess … That’s when they get the grand slam home run!
You know, there are 2 ways to learn something, thru the school of hard
knocks where you go out and make all the mistakes yourself, or thru the
accumulated lifetime experience of someone who’s already getting
the results you want. Learning thru others experience is a much
more efficient and profitable way to learn. The Instant Yellow
Page Profits™ Gold Mastery System will save you money, and years
of your life in failure and mistakes. It is a roadmap to the big profits
quick and easy! There’s an old saying that goes, “A rich man
learns from other people’s mistakes, while a poor man only learns
from his own mistakes.”
Buying shortcuts to wealth is one of the most incredible things
available today. I bring my expert advice right to the comfort
and safety of your own home. You’ll find everything you’re
looking for in this system, and more! You will find never previously revealed

putting ALL your advertising on the fast track. It gives you the templates,

what you get in my Instant Yellow Page Profits™ Gold Mastery System!
You get the accumulated knowledge of my 30+ years experience
running Yellow Page advertising, for just pennies a day. This complete
system guarantees your success, or your money is cheerfully refunded!
What You Have to Lose
Yellow Page advertising builds value and equity in your business. Prospects
will continue calling you for up to 7 years after the ad has appeared.
I still get calls off Yellow Page advertising I ran for 5 years and I
haven’t even had a Yellow Page ad in 2 years. But I still get the
calls which I refer to another business and get a 40% referral fee for
the lead. So I’m still making thousands a month on Yellow Page advertising
I ran 2-7 years ago. How do I know this? Because I track my calls in a
way that tells me which years ad they are responding to. The most accurate
way to track the source of every call is also included in the Gold Mastery
system in the chapter on testing and tracking.
If you currently do Yellow Page advertising or are even thinking about
it, you’ll lose tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in
profits PER YEAR that you don’t apply the principles in the Instant
Yellow Page Profits™ Gold Mastery system. Just 1 idea or marketing
strategy can forever transform your businesses profitability. Several
of my students have won their industries highest awards by using the 12
Yellow Page Response Triggers™ in their Yellow Page advertising.
If you add all 12 Yellow Page Response Triggers™ to your advertising,
you’ll kick your competition’s butt so hard they’ll
be wearing it as a hat!
Just 1 or 2 new clients that you wouldn’t have gained without my
system will pay for your entire investment. Everything beyond that is
all profit in your pocket. No royalties or licensing fees to pay EVER.
Don’t pass up on this opportunity to double and triple your Yellow
Page advertising profits while you kill your competition!

it was the best dental Yellow Page advertising they had ever seen! Thanks
Larry.”

local newspaper.”
- Dr. Alexander Covey

by taking some of Larry’s advice, we are going to generate a LOT
