Barbara Corcoran on the Secret to Handling Rejection

Can You take a Hit?

Can You Imagine Your Future As An Entrepreneur?

This is truly a people-driven business and there are leaders to help you not only achieve your dreams, but also to identify them. Too often we forget to dream and get stuck wasting our time in what starts to feel like an endless day of boring, unrewarding and lifeless nonsense. 
I can't be the ONLY ONE that feels like I get caught up in working so hard for everybody else and I end up putting myself last. 

You have the opportunity to break free from all of that, move on from Anything and Everything that may be holding you back and literally Create Your Own Future.

Follow Up, When is enough?

FOLLOW UP

I can not stress enough how important Follow Up is. Back in October is sent out some emails  to people who were interested in being able to Own their own business. the same day that these emails went out I got 3 responses almost immediately. They were all interested in more information. The fist person I called and talked to for almost an hour. They decided that this was more than they thought they could fit into their lives...A week later they registered as a customer and started shopping at partner stores. WIN WIN #1.

The second person that I contacted was All over this. Was excited and wanting to get started. Life Happens and it always will, but I kept emailing, calling, texting. We had several conversations over the past few months. I sent this gentleman a text on Tuesday because I wanted to see if he could give me some time to explain the #shoppingannuity. We are doing that tomorrow with him but the exciting part for me is he is still very excited about the business and said that he has cleared his plate and is ready to seriously get to work. WIN WIN #2

WIN #3 for me came today. From that same email list back in October and the third person that expressed interest, Well after several Followup emails and phone calls, she called me today and I booked time with her tomorrow. She has already seen the 22 minute video a few times, she has been n my portal to look around, and said she has questions about products and how our business is structured. I am so looking forward to this appointment.

Never give up on "FOLLOW UP" we do not know what others have going on and can not assume anything. My favorite thing, I keep saying to myself when doing Follow Ups is " Ok...1 more time" (even though it is probably the 20th or 30th time)

How do you handle Objections

Ok so I just got done meeting with a gentleman who was interested in what I do. We were just minutes into the company's history when he says to me
My Guest:"HOLD UP! You're telling me that this company that has over 5 Billion in Sales and originated in someones garage?"

ME: Yes sir that's correct.

My Guest: And you're only 22 years old?

ME: Yes Sir that's correct

My Guest: There is no way you are going to convince me that your company has been able to have that kind of success when you started in a garage.

Now I was in a little shock at this response because I always thought this gentleman to be a "Business Man" he has done well for himself and his family. So this is how I responded to that remark;

ME: WOW. OK. Let me ask you a question, Have you ever heard of a company called Microsoft or Apple? Both of these companies were started with a wild idea that turned into Multi Billion Dollar businesses and they started in a garage.

MY Guest; Well thats different.

ME: How?

My Guest: Because they now have huge infrastructure and thousands of employees.

ME: And my Business allows me to conduct business anywhere in the world. Literally because I am a Global Company. All I need is an internet connection to manage my business. I personally have hundreds of people in my organization and we all Share Customers and Sales. What will surely confuse you more is that we all get 100% credit for All the Sales in our organization, and I am able to do all of this without any employees. I have partnerships with major retail stores, WalMart, Target, Home Depot, Best Buy to name a few. Do you think that any of these stores would be affiliated with us if we were in any way a risk to their reputation?

My Guest: ....Awkward Silence

ME: Listen, I am not in business to "Convince" anyone. I am always looking to expand distribution of my products and affiliations. 
So lets stop here. If you really want to see what is it I do then we can reschedule. I will email you some information for you to look at so you can decide if it is worth your time.

My Guest: .....more silence.... ummm....ok ..yeah...Let me look at that and I will call you.

Me: Great. Thanks for giving me some time today. I look forward to your call.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is so important that you know what you represent. This was just second nature for me at this point. If you are new always, ALWAYS work with your Senior Partners. If you can't then when you come across a situation like this Do not try and put up a smoke screen. 

Honesty is the ONLY policy. 

If you are asked a question that you do not know the answer to say something like: That's a good question. I am new and I don't know the correct answer but if you allow me to I can get one of my partners on the phone and I can get you that answer. Would that be OK?

No matter what you encounter, no matter what the response, 

DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY

Learn from your experience, take that knowledge and use it. Go talk to someone else. 

It DOES get easier.

The more you do it the more fun you will have doing it. 

Trust me it won't seem like it in the beginning but it is worth the effort. 

Lastly, 

You can not sat the wrong thing to the right person.
and

The more NO'S you get, The more Money you will make. NEVER GIVE UP!

Bringing the Sexy

We will be in Salisbury, MD tomorrow night bringing the SEXY. If you can make it we would love to see you there.

Still Waiting on the Lottery to hit? Here is your chance for a change!

Guess who is coming to town on March 22nd.

Gigi Souritzidis.

What do you mean you have never heard of her.

Gigi is originally from Ocean City, MD and worked as a RN at PRMC in Salisbury. In 1997 Gigi established her Unfranchise Business and the rest is history. Or should I say she has written her history. 

You see Gigi followed a simple plan duplicating successful things and has been able to share her knowledge and experience with others. In doing so, she has duplicated herself and helped many people to find financial success. Gigi has earned over a Million Dollars(>1,000,000) in commissions with this company and is coming to share her experience with us and anyone interested in learning how to Own, Operate, and Manage a Business. If you would like to experience Gigi's training the cost per person is $30. The training will be held at Wye Mills Chesapeake College Campus from 10 A.M to 5 P.M.

If you would like more information on this training or tickets please message me and I will send you a flyer and ticket information.

UPDATE to the Status of the Testimony Page

For all of those that have contacted me with concerns as to whether or not the Testimonies page would be returning or not, THANK YOU for your understanding and ALL the KIND words you shared with me.

I regret to inform you that I will not longer be able to post the testimonies. As per our Career Manual, Chapter 20, section 5, "Only approved Claims and Testimonials May be Used to Promote/Market MA® Opportunity or Products".


I am in communications with our compliance department and We are working together to try and find a way to be in compliance with the policies that are in place. 

This task is in no way going to be simple or quick. 

I will keep you updated as things change.

Feel free to comment here.


Thanks
Jim

Remember the Customer’s Name

Don’t you love when someone remembers your name? Make an effort to remember your customer’s name when working with them. They will appreciate your extra effort to make them feel important.

Make it Personal

Whenever you can, take the effort to personally follow-up with a customer.

• Send a note after the sale asking if the customer is satisfied with their purchase.
  
• Make a call to a customer who had a product or service issue to see if everything was resolved.
  
• Set a meeting with a customer whom you didn’t get the sale to clarify the reason they did not choose you.

These are easy ways to increase customer loyalty and make sure your customers come back to you.
