How do you double your sales in 12 months? Will you increase marketing spending to reach more potential customers for more sales? What if there’s a way to double your sales and not spend more on customer acquisition? The Dream 100 is the fastest, least expensive way to do so.

The Dream 100 is the strategy that has doubled the sales of more companies than any other. It is based on the principle that there are fewer better buyers than there are all buyers. That means marketing and selling to your Dream 100 is cheaper than marketing and selling to all buyers. Unfortunately, many people do not understand the concept of Dream 100 and how to use it to multiply their sales. Don’t want to be one of them?

Listen to this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast with Dr. Jeremy Weisz featuring Amanda Holmes and Troy Aberle, both from Chet Holmes International. They discuss the elements of a Dream 100, why it is the fastest and least expensive way to double sales, and how to find your Dream 100 and market to them. Stay tuned.
