Which bail-out program would you rather bet your mortgage on? Ours or theirs?

by Matt Layton

The Kick-off to the Pre-Paid Legal North American Bailout tours begins this weekend, February 7, 2009. Through the marketing of our membership, we are making available our own version of an economic stimulus package to anyone interested and willing to work for it.

But what is most interesting about our kick-off event is that the Obama administration has requested volunteers to hold house meetings all across North America on the very same day. The goal being to raise awareness and push for passage of the US Government’s bailout plan.

While the similarities of the meetings themselves are strikingly similar, the anticipated results for the individuals participating are that much more contradictory.

In essence, the Obama administration is employing the Private Business Reception marketing technique to achieve their desired result. This is perfect timing, the government is asking citizens to host meetings to increase awareness of the government bailout plan. While Pre-Paid Legal Services is having its own meeting offering those same citizens its own bailout plan.

We must understand the importance of the confluence of these two events and draw comparisons between our meeting this weekend in Dallas with the corresponding meetings asked to be held all around North America at the behest of the President.

At least two similarities come to mind that should be exploited for our benefit.

We should be validated in the fact that the administration of the President of the United States is employing the same marketing techniques that we have, for years, proven to be effective, the Private Business Reception.

And the most obvious comparison, on the same weekend that we are rolling out our bail-out program to the people, the US government is lobbying for passage of its own bail-out. The main difference being is that our bail-out has passed the congress so to speak, it is in practice, it is available now! While the government bailout is struggling to gain the needed support to even begin to be implemented.
