Its been a few days.

Hello Readers,

Yes im still here still striving and fighting the good fight. And the last few days has been busy busy busy. Literally I have been prospecting a lot of people about becoming customers. Dont be shocked but alot of it was without any success. This happens from time to time but the key thing is dont lose faith. And also sometimes you just try too hard. So much so that ive got a little story to tell.
A few days ago I contacted some people that I know to ask them if there was anyone that they knew that dealt in solar energy. A good colleague of mine willingly emailed me some contact details for a guy who had just started with solar panels.
So I rang him and the conversation went something like this.

"Hello can I speak to ********"

"Yes this is ********."

"Hello you dont know me but I was given your details off *********, I hear your dealing in solar energy, is that right?"

"Yes it is."

"If I could show you a away to have an adavantage over your competition would you meet me for ten minutes so I can show you."

Well afterwards he agreed and put me in touch with his assistant. And said I could go at anytime really, so following a network meeting this morning, I decided to go and see her. So this I expected to be a warm referral when I went in. I asked to speak to the lady and explained who I was and that she was expecting me. Which she looked completely blank, immediately this turned into my uncomfortable zone of cold calling. I just thought deal with it you have come this far.
So I explained who I was and the conversation I had with her colleague and would she give me ten minutes.
She agreed and I went through the business and presentation, which she agreed would be of benefit but could not give me a decision immediately. However what she did say without me even realising at first is that she needed to take advantage of all the services for herself. And there was me with a focus of going in as a distributor and she is becoming a customer. Amazing how things pan out to say the least.

its a late one I know.

Well another busy day folks, but today I've been list building. Key thing in this business is have a list. A list of those that you know personally and those you don't. So what have I done well immediately put it into practice and got calling people, simply said I'm in the business of helping people save money or make money, and what interests them more. My calls tonight took me to my cousin who I have not seen for a while. Well would you believe when I got in there in the kitchen she had the biggest walk in sunbed, on the planet. And from it I saw a great big electrical cable coming from it, so I couldn't resist and said I bet that costs a pretty packet to run. Well you can imagine we got talking and one thing led to another and yes another appointment another customer sign up. So moral of the story be observant and talk to every one.

Good Morning and a happy Monday to you.

Good Morning,

Happy Monday to you all, if your thinking why am I so happy for it being a Monday. And you hate the fact that Mondays are the start of your five day week from hell. You need to do something drastic and change your attitude, by not starting your week to plan for success, you are more likely to prepare to fail. 

Today I have an appointment with a business for Ten o clock, then I have some calls to make and I have my letters ready to go out and visit another ten businesses today. 

I am going to adopt the same attitude that I did last week and the week before by not going in as a salesman, but by going in as a fellow businessman. 

I will adopt the right posture that my business deserves, after all my business is worth a lot of money. 

What are your plans this week if you have any doubts in your mind readers, any doubts at all you need to get rid of that doubt, because its the starting point for failure and not success. 

Go out there see people with confidence and posture, and don't be scared appointments don't necessarily have to be frightening, they can also be fun. A fellow colleague told me something that I now do when im making an appointment. I say to the person, ok I take two sugars and milk in my coffee, and chocolate digestives are my favourite. And you know what it works also.

Ok my list is up to date I have read twenty pages of my book im wired, fired and inspired and going to have the most successful week ever. 

To your success. 

And just when I thought sundays were the day of rest.

Happy Sunday,

I trust its been a good one, what have you been doing, gardening, or spending time with the family?
Alan and I were invited to his cousins for sunday lunch with the family, which I was thrilled to bits to be going to
as its nice to get together.
After being there for a couple of hours, a call came through on my mobile, it was one of my existing customers.
She advised that she was opening a hair salon a few villages from me and she needed a phone line and her energy sorted, as quickly as possible.
I asked if tomorrow would be too quick to see her, remember early bird catches the worm. She was so impressed that she had also dropped in that she had another three referrals for businesses to give me.
Yet another step closer to fifty plus club. I know that my focus is going to be solely this monrh on fifty plus club. I want so much to reach this by the end of the month as Stephan has told me, if I make it I will be going on stage for the leaders conference next month in manchester.
Althought that is not going to be my primary goal this month because I dont believe it is something that I can create and generate with urgency. So what I have decided to make this months goal is to be able to afford a new double bed for the guest bedroom, as it is currently my office and I live in a three bedroom semi with only technically one bedroom.
So I now have 29 days to succeed my goal 8 customers again is what im aiming for. Lets see where this one takes me.

Till tomorrow

Saturday event

Hey Readers,

What a fabulous Saturday today has been, the weather has been b.e a.utiful.
As you know today was spent in a team huddle which is held at least once a month or once every other month.
I was asked today to provide my story so far of my successes over the last month and have attatched a picture of myself for you all to see.
I love going to the team huddles, because the little nuggets of information you get are very valuable from top people working the business.
So what was the main thing that I picked up about in the business, well just like my first article on here about creating a urgency, I wanted also to look in the recruitment side of things aswell.
So I was speaking with Maureen my upline senior group leader, and what she told me was so powerful that I had to take a moment to actually let it sink in.
Now before I tell you what it is, let me remind you my business has to be simple, it has to be duplicatable, and obviously profitable.
And what I was told was none the least all three of the above things. The secret to recruiting is getting a lot of people to do a little.
So I really need to have another one to one meeting to plan my strategy, as im going to approach fifty plus club soon and I also want team building to play a massive part in the business aswell. But I dont want to rock the boat, because when I rock the boat, my activity drops and so does my moral. which means no income being earned. And no blog to update, and I am really enjoying this right now.

Boy its warm.

Third and final post for today. While I'm sitting in the garden this evening. My new business cards came today that I ordered, now normally the cards that a lot of distributors order, are pig shaped cards. But what I'm now finding in the business is they are becoming common, so some people I will give a card, and they will say "oh how cute." But one guy I actually have a card to today actually said "oh not another one of these." And instantly discarded it, did he mean business cards in general I wonder? Tomorrow is very exciting its a team huddle in newton aycliffe with a very special guest. A good friend of mine aswell called maureen, she is a senior group leader in her own right. And she is coming over to share some hints and tips, with all of us to help is with our business. So I'm off to bake a pineapple upside down cake like I promised. And will be sure to post about it on my return, ok this is deffo my last post for today.

If you can't help those closest to you, who can you help.

As you already know I started to update my list, the top of it was my brother. One of the things that I was told is don't exclude anyone, it doesn't matter what they think of you. So right at the top of my list was my brother who I speak to from time to time. So I picked up the phone to call him, and found that he was going through a bit of a bad time. With no job and a one in the future becoming unlikely. I mentioned the business before to him but he just shrugged it off, saying that it was not really for him. The interesting thing was he said the only thing he could think of.doing was a job where he had to speak to people. And that he felt more than comfortable doing it. So I mentioned the opportunity again to him but this time I felt that he really listened to what I was saying. I told him where I predicted where my business was taking me, the fun that I was having the people I was meeting, and how slowly slowly it was making a change in my life. So he started to ask some questions and the more answers I gave him the more interested he became. So he has decided to move over here close by, and join with the company and build his own business. This makes me happy for a number of reasons, I feel that I have someone close by to work with. I'm helping my brother get his life back on track. And we are both going to be on the road to success. So I guess the moral to this is where you identify situations to generally help people, and your sincere and trusted, you will find the answers your looking for.
