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.
