An interesting day to say the least.

So as it goes in network marketing, the business solely relies upon word of mouth and customer referrals.

Last week my dad (who is one of my customers) called me up and asked me if I would ring a priest of a church who was in much need of saving money.
So I rang him and a appointment was arranged today at his church in Newcastle. For his home and the hope of signing the church up as well.
I went along to see him and was impressed it was a lovely old church based in the heart of Newcastle.
We almost immediately got down to business, I did my presentation with him and provided him with a quotation for his energy.
I really did not expect what happened next when what is normally a basic, easy sign up turned into complex questions about kilowatt hours and tariffs, everything that I normally avoid. Once I answered all of his questions I also mentioned last, that I could arrange two special offers for him one was a ten percent discount if he takes four services or more, or fixing his energy tariff for the next three years.
The meeting ended up with him advising that he wanted to look at the figures more closely. And although I felt a little of me died and a bit miserable, because I had traveled all that way to see him. I held my posture and made myself look busy (even though I wasn't and got out of there.)
I got in the car and marked in my diary for next week to arrange a follow up with him. When I went to drive I way I got a glimpse of him in my rear view mirror running after my car.
So I stopped and let him catch up. Thinking that I had forgotten something (which I nearly always do.) He came to the window and said that he looked at the figures quickly whilst I had walked out and realized that the amount he is saving is significant.
Now I could have gone straight back in and signed him up, but I appear desperate to no one so I have rearranged the appointment for later in the week. And whats more he is leaving virgin to join us, and wants to sign the church up for his business utilities.
So my readers here is the moral, show patience and understanding, and hold the posture your business deserves.
A good day had by all.
