Most people when running on a treadmill or at the park get tired after maybe 10 minutes or so, it's normal, but I have zero stamina. Already I am tired on only my second day of running. Now to be fair I did wake up ridiculously early, which for me is 6 am. Despite my drowsiness I accomplished a lot today (October 29th).
I want to share specifics of my day with you because I want to help anyone out there who is in network marketing, or trying to achieve some goal and having a hard time knowing what to do and how to stay motivated.
I started my morning with motivation. I listened to our fearless leader Jesse Macpherson's development call from the previous day and then created my list of 100 dreams I need to accomplish in the next 5 years. It was something Jesse recommended.
But for the majority of the day all I am doing is
Calls calls calls.
It's the ABCs of sales: Always Be Calling
You find when you do this, just how flaky people really are, including yourself at answering and returning calls. People really are not good about communicating through the phone anymore, but everyone knows if you try to text them chances are you will never hear back. So you call anyway, and here's the secret that people you call don't understand, all it takes is "No". I'm not a pushy sales person, I just want to help people find an opportunity that will change their life. Most of my friends don't realize or understand how this opportunity will 100% change their life if they are willing to commit just 5-10 hours a week to it. I can't let them pass on it while I go out and make 70,000 a year or more. I've got to at least offer to show them! If they say No, that's fine, I stop calling, but they have to at least look at it. You can't say no before you know what you are saying no to! Well you can, but that's called closed minded. So until someone sees it, they are still on my list of calls every day. Now if they answer my call and say stop calling, of course I'll stop. Most people though would rather just ignore my call then tell me to stop, so I just keep calling them forever. Not because I want to, but because if they don't say 'No' then it's my duty to keep giving them the opportunity.
So I made calls from 10am-2:30pm. I'm super slow at calls too because I get nervous about what to say, but at least I'm doing it, that's what counts.
I set up about 5 sitdowns, which are just what I call coffee dates with friends to show them the opportunity. Typically those take about 20 minutes to show the information, but people generally have questions and want to talk so my rule is I stay till they are satisfied, which usually ends up being about 45 minutes to an hour.
I had one sitdown scheduled for that day and was invited to a meeting for another network marketing company. I don't recommend this for beginners, but I know a lot about our company's compensation plan and frankly no other company comes close.
Most people don't fully understand how they are getting paid or why that is good or bad. I know exactly how Seacret pays my team and why it's the best plan out there. I have looked at over 50 different plans and nothing touches us.
With that said I attended a casual meeting of another network company because many people do more than one company. I personally love products from mlm companies. Somehow the best things just come across in mlm.
I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting, the people were so nice and happy, as all people in network marketing tend to be, particularly if they have a binary compensation plan. The people were smart, fun and their product was amazing. It was called Zija. I definitely will buy something from Zija in the future.
I left the meeting with a prospect for Seacret and a retail sale. Who walks into another company's meeting and gets away with that? Only Seacret Agents. But I wasn't there to steal anyone, just give them another opportunity on top of a great one they already have. Our company doesn't drop people if they join another company, as some do. Who knows I may even add Zija to my repertoire once my run is over.
