People in suspicious
condition were sent from one place in Southern
California to be "treated by Scientology" for insanity
and yet we have no interest in treating anyone,
especially the insane.
***
Reception must regard any people
who walk in, except tradespeople and business callers as
potential pre-clears and students. Snap them onto our
lines. Sign them up for something, and get them wheeling
along our efficient lines. Process and train them when
they walk up the front steps. Get the person's name,
address, and phone number. Make a green slip used for
this purpose, and change of address.... Register every
new person walking in the door, even the postman. No
matter what they say, if they are there, they have come
in for help. Sell them a book. Don't let them leave
without something ... Sign every new person up for
testing and an interview. Put them on the meter and pull
their "withholds".... Sign up students for a specific
period of time and get payment in advance. Sign up a
pre-clear for an intensive of the length necessary to
get a major case change that is real to him. If the guy
needs one hundred hours, audit him for one hundred
hours. Let the pre-clear finance his own auditing.
You're not in the credit business.... When the prospect
comes in, see him or her at once. (No waiting). Be
courteous, friendly, business-like. Rise when they enter
and leave. Call reception to show them out if they stay
too long. Be willing to take their money. Always prefer
cash to notes. We are not a credit company. Always see
the student or the P.C. before they leave the place
after service. You can often sell more training or
process .... It is a maxim that unless you have bodies
in the shop, you get no income. So on any pretext,
get bodies in the place, and provide ingress to the
registrar when they are there. ... P.E. Foundation in
its attitude goes for broke on the newcomers, builds up
their interest with lectures, and knocks their cases
apart with com course and upper indoc ... The student
does not get out of the com course until he can be
trusted to show up well in a muzzled co-audit ...
NEVER ... Let anyone simply walk out.
Convince him he's a loony if he doesn't gain on it,
because that's the truth ... The
whole dream of P.E. Foundation is to get the people in
fast, get them invoiced in a congress type assembly
line, no waiting, get them hot, excited, positive
service and boot them through to their H.A.S. (Hubbard
Apprentice Scientologist course), and then worry about
something else with them. Never
let a student leave or quit -- introvert him like a
bullet and get him to get audited.
If he gets no reality, don't let him wander out. If he
walks in that door as a P.C., that's it. He doesn't get
out except into an individual auditor's hands in the
real tough cases, until he has an H.A.S. " -- L. Ron
