Day 36

Ok, it is Sunday and I did not do anything to sell product today, however, I did do some more reading on getting myself into a rhythm of daily, weekly and monthly activities that will lead to more business. As I was reading, I began to realize that you cannot skip over any of the steps to success without loss of business. I am the first one to want to do the short cut to get ahead fast but according to what I read, that short cut does not allow you to learn what is necessary all along the way. Yes, you may get a few steps further down the road ahead of everyone else, but everyone else is learning techniques that will allow them to finish first.

A short cut is OK if you know what you have to circle back and complete. I know for me it is that dreaded phone call follow-up. I know that if I just keep practicing it will get easier each time. And it is that practice that will allow me to get my script down pat without faltering. I try to practice ahead but somehow when I talk to people, I miss some of the important points. I am going to keep practicing and doing live calls this coming week plus sending out “sales” for Christmas blasts at the same time.

And I thought I was not doing any business today. I just got a call from someone in Rotary that had asked me to help with some conference items. It turns out that they did not need me (grin) and that there would be something for me to do later (another grin). It just so happens that this person wants to know more about my products and is willing to try them. She will be meeting me at my house tomorrow, we shall see!
