Chance favors the prepared mind.
The Benifits of Selling Thirty years ago or so, the majority of new subscription orders came to the newspaper from youth carriers, just like you, who every once in a while asked the new residents and other non-subscribers on their routes if they were interested in subscribing. But, times have changed. Lives are busier, extra time for selling orders is harder to find, and it's harder to find people at home. So, carrier and crew sales are now producing a minority of the news subscriptions, and more and more new orders are coming from telephone and mail solicitations. Though we're happy to get new orders any way we can, we still urge you to try selling subscriptions on your route.
