We keep getting a sneak peek at spring. 75 degrees for a day or two, then back to 60 degrees for the next week or two. A great Palm Sunday, and then a rainy Easter.
Spring is coming though. The teaching seminars on Monday and Saturday are really worth listening to. They are preparing us for the spring/summer rush that will happen this year. If you are not prepared, you will lag behind in your business.
A few weeks ago I had an experience that proved the point that Eddie Freeman made just that previous Saturday. I emailed the story to my downline:
I don't normally recount my weekend in these emails, but I thought that I would this time due to it corresponding with the teaching that Paul Morris and Eddie Freeman are doing on the Monday and Saturday conference calls.
I went to the California Auto Museum on Saturday. I was supposed to go with a group from our church, but they all cancelled at the last minute. So I went alone. (it was the "muscle car" exhibit) The Museum opened at 10am and upon entering, I encountered quit a few people of my vintage. There was also quite a large contingent of late-twenty/early thirty 's. I was friendly with everyone and most of us shared stories of our parents/siblings/cousins/neighbors/friends whom owned these cars. There were stock cars to fully "tricked out" versions. Pretty soon I was walking along with a group. As always happens, the subjects "where do you live", “where did you grow up” and "what do you do for a living" came up. I spoke about 3 sentences about exfuze and then immediately asked the couple next to me about their work. Nothing more was said by me, or them, about exfuze. However, within the next 30 to 40 minutes, I had 7 people ask me about exfuze. Two of them were from a different (20-30's) group who had heard me mention "ZILLA, a whole food, healthy energy drink"!! So by the time that I left the Museum, I had retailed over $300.00 and had a meeting with 2 couples for later on in the evening. {I had to leave at 2pm for choir rehearsal} By the days end, I had "retailed" just under $900.00 for the week!!! { If you're figuring what I net, remember that I don't discount at retail. Classic is $45, PRO is $60 and ZILLA is $6.50 each}
This was all from "going out to a public facility, with NO intentions of selling. And in all honesty, not making much of an effort except mentioning exfuze in an appropriate place in the conversation." really. 3 sentences at most.
You see.... this business isn't easy, but it IS extremely simple. And in the case of last Saturday, very rewarding. What makes it NOT EASY is ONLY the difficulty of you being consistent in being willing to speak of eXfuze, just as you would about any other business.
