What It's About
Is this idea ready for takeoff ... or stuck on the tarmac?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1855
Today’s caller describes his business idea as being “truly up in the air.” Like me, he’s all about airline status. I used fly 300,000+ miles a year. These days, it’s much less, but I still follow the world of travel hacking at least somewhat. Our caller will tell you more about his business idea. It’s my job to offer some feedback that might be helpful to him, and also insightful to others. That’s because these questions are a proxy for our global community of people who want to create extra income. If you learn the skill of generating valuable ideas, that skill can serve you for life. Part of that process is being able to identify a target market, a clear product or service, and a way to monetize the connection between the two."I have a business idea that's truly up in the air. I want to help earn airline elite status for executives who travel a lot, but not enough to qualify for the top-tier Platinum levels. I've got some experience in doing this, including some strategies that are black-hat or that I just wouldn't talk about for competitive reasons. My pitch is: 'For $500 I can help you get Global Services with United Airlines or Concierge Key with American Airlines.' These are levels that are otherwise very difficult to achieve. For the right person, $500 is definitely worth it. But my problem is I want to stay under the radar of the airlines (I know they won’t like this) while also reaching my target market. How can I accomplish this tricky objective?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
