Day 10

Am setting up my database today and only placing warm and hot leads into the system. The rest remain as an excel spreadsheet for now. I have one lead to follow up on that is interested and others to reconnect with to set up times to talk about the opportunity. My husband has a hair appointment today and since the products can be sold through an appointment only location, he will approach the owner and see if she wants to sell the product to her customers.

An amazing thing started to happen today as I finished sending my next 10 emails. People started calling me to learn more. I have not closed any of the calls yet – BUT – they are calling me!! Well, 2 people anyway, but it is a start.
Today I started the follow up from the first day’s emails. Easy to do – just ask politely if they would look at the presentation and give me their opinion. I then mentioned that I would be selling the product based on other feedback but would still value their opinion.

My husband really makes it difficult to do business at times. He was supposed to let the hair dresser know about the product so I could then sell when I arrived the next day. Of course he did not do it! So I guess I will have to open the subject tomorrow – nice going! I guess the work all falls to me. Might as well accept that fact and move on toward more sales. The business will only work if I apply myself and not depend on others.

I just found about a fast track – 5 distributors in 30 days – I guess I am on track with at least making people aware of the product. Let us see how it will transpire – I am determined to follow the steps and make this thing get off the ground and soar. Back to filling in my email sheet for the next few batches – just as long as I do not let the follow up portion fall through!

I will miss the meeting tomorrow night in San Jose, have other commitments this week, but from now on the meetings go into the calendar as must attend! Wait, it is next week – thank goodness I won’t miss it!

Almost right away I got a call from a long past colleague (almost 9 years ago) that would love to catch up. He left a voice mail while I was out playing tennis from 8 to 10 in the evening.

A great day ending with playing a sport I love (better than watching TV)
