youngshot Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sparkie i would like to go about asking for permision my self, so how exactly did u persuade the landowner to say yes?? Young Shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Persistence without being pushy, Persuasive whilst remaining polite, and being confident without being cocky. The trick is identifying a problem and offering to solve it, if the landowner sees a benifit to you being there and you come across as trustworthy and professional he will probably say yes. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Its been said a thousand times (not having a go) if you find someone with a problem and offer to solve it, you will more than likely at least get a trial. You can usually tell if someone isn't sure about something, you can see it in their face, if you see that look jump in and offer a trial period. Tell him let you on there for one day and keep an eye on you. If you do this you are essentially making his decision much smaller and easier to make. That is a great time to drop hints about how careful you are with backstops, livestock, shutting gates, leaving things as you found them etc. Its a sales job, the landowner has what you want, and you have something to offer him. Even though its free to him you still have to make him understand it won't "cost" him. If you see some uncertainty creeping in then hit him with some more benefits for you being there, believe me it works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
