Are you Keeping a Secret?
It's about 9 pm on a cold winter's night and the phone rings. I
am totally startled. Freightened actually.
You guys know I am a seasoned veteran in direct sales and
network marketing and you also know that anyone who is a
networker by trade hears the phone ringing at all hours of the
night and day; you know what I am talking about, prospect's
calling back, 3-way follow up calls, up-line, down-line calls,
the phone in the home of the busy networker never stops ringing.
So, what on earth would rattle me the way this call did?
Well I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Happy
calling; my awesome, loving, long lost cousin Happy Neid
calling.
Understand mind you, that I had not spoken to or heard from her
in YEARS.
My mind began to race...why is Happy calling? Is someone in the
family sick, or worse yet; did someone die? I said to my self,
"think positively Joe" maybe she is having another baby and
wants to share the great news!
Trembling i reach for the phone...
"Hello, this is Joe" I said.
Breathlessly I wait to hear her voice...
"Joey, it's cousin Happy calling...how you doing?" she asks.
"Fine, I am doing fine", I answered. "How are you?" I asked,
waiting for the bad news to be delivered.
"Well let me tell you how I am doing you knucklehead!" she
replied.
"Things are up and down, Paul and I have all these kids now and
you know me, I have always been involved in something on the
side to make a few extra dollars."
"Well," she continued, " The other day I was cruising through
the business opportunity section of the newspaper, and I came
accross an ad that caught my eye, I called the number listed in
the ad and listened to the message that was there and was
inspired enough by what I heard to leave my number; well, a guy
called me back and invited me to a live presentation call which
I attended about an hour ago."
(Do you see where this is going?)
"Well cousin Joey, who do you think the host of that live call
was?" she asked rather sarcastically.
Swallowing hard I uttered my response.
"Was it me?"
"Yes you knucklehead it WAS YOU!" she screamed.
"Why didn't you call me about this? This business sounds
awesome! Why did I have to answer a total strangers ad in a
national newspaper, listen to another total strangers vague
message about a business opportunity and then attend a business
presentation call to be told by you what a great program this is?
Why didn't you call me about this?
I thought you love me!" she said.
Well my fellow networker, this is a true story. And I am
willing to bet that you or someone in your organization right
now today is operating their business in secret. Not wanting to
let their loved ones know what they are involved in. The essence
of Network Marketing is in the WARM MARKET. People sharing
products and opportunity with other people. Your opportunity is
going to transform your life, correct? Why not share it with
those who you care about most?
If you want to make a sale today or you want to recruit a new
distributor today. You can. It is very simple to do. Just look
in your personal phonebook, your database or, for you oldtimers,
your Rolodex.
If you want to explode your business, get into your warm market
and insist that your associates do the same.
Join me at eleven in the morning eastern standard time, every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday for your Wake Up Call to Success.
