Whats the best way to sell AT&T and Direct TV? I've sent out emails, knocked on doors, did Swap Meets, and even used a mail blasting company. What do you suggest?

A key thing here I see people overlooking--KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.
The At&T/DirectTV bundle is fairly expensive for the average student or working-class family. People in the suburbs can usually afford it if the bundle ties in a cell phone family plan, but then at least one family member is dissatisfied with either the total cost or lack of a feature they enjoy.
My assistant worked for DirectTV customer service before the merger with At&T and she heard these complaints most often:
--The TV package doesn't have the channel I want
--The package I want is out of my price range
--Why wasn't I fully informed of the price increase in the second year of service? That lost A LOT of customers
--Streaming on the Internet is cheaper for what I want
If you set up a table at a job fair, community event, or a local place with foot traffic, take note of the people who are wary of your pitch. Create a sheet for them to write down their name and an email address so you can send them more info. The more personalized the pitch, the better the chance of a sale. This has worked for us when scheduling group events.
