Wow on to Day 20 already, I feel like I am not getting as far as fast as I would like. But I guess that happens in any business. I got up early again to read my emails and send my 10 out. I always seem to get 3 to 4 responses for every 10 I send out. Today I actually got an order from one of the people that expressed high interest. I am brining a bottle of the caplets to my Rotary meeting today and will collect the money then. Another person that had previously responded indicated they will buy from the website. I am going to go and check on that one for sure. Nothing yet but the day is young!
My friend I signed up has now put his own webpage into action. He has the link now on his home page for his REI business. Let’s see what that attracts – hopefully he will be able to find several people for his down line. That would be perfect!
I need to now pump up the promo component so I can find two more great people to sponsor. I know that this is a lot of effort to get it going, and I also know that once it catches fire there is no turning back. Once customer at a time and one sponsored individual at a time. Best to focus on customers and get them on the product – that is where referrals will start to happen. Numbers, numbers, numbers got to hit those numbers.
I delivered my first bottle of product at the Rotary meeting today and collected the money! A first from a lot of emails. This is only the beginning of my journey and I had another query about the product from a person that was not on the radar screen yet. PLUS a potential distributor that is interested but has been overly busy so far. Yahoo, more to follow-up and perhaps more in my client and distributor list.
A small victory is a plus as we all have to start somewhere. I will keep building to have more in the interested column. But at least I have a good start. If I could get the same results in each month for sponsored folks and customers, it will be a build that is slow and deliberate. Can you imagine what I could do when it builds to the point where my regular job income is replaced? Yes – still in the planning stages but almost there!
I am having my daughter design a flyer and three fold brochure for me today. I want to post the flyers at my hairdressers to entice people to buy product. The brochure will be for people to read and buy product. Product first, business opportunity second, get people to love the products and using the regularly.
I am also excited about bringing my daughter into the business with me – she will be a big asset. I need to build the income to a level where I can pay her a decent amount of money. I have always wanted to have a business where my girls (2) were working with me. This opportunity is definitely one where this can happen.
You may ask where my husband is in all of this. He likes the idea of me being in business as long as he does not need to be involved. He is not keen on marketing, sales or sponsoring and would rather stay in his comfort zone. Not a good attitude for building a business so I prefer to work with my daughters to make this experience be the best possible. In other words, negativism and doubt is left behind. It will remain this way until he can let go of his stoppages.
