Just another day in boot camp!

Really it was for me anyway. After listening to the morning call, I just plugged right along with the day. I sent out more letters, followed up with some people, and started calling businesses from our neighborhood magazine. That was where the interesting stuff happened. I made one call, and got the machine, WHEW! That wasn't so bad. I basically read the script that we were provided adding my own personal touch about how I live in the neighborhood, etc., and then hung up. "OK, I can do this.", I thought. Now to the second call. I called a local dentist office and they answered. I asked to speak with the office manager, thinking (hoping) that the girl would send me to voice mail. I was informed that I was speaking with the office manager! TERROR overtook me! I have been plugging along these last few weeks, making contacts, talking to complete strangers, having no problem, but for some reason, when I started speaking I know I sounded like a babbling idiot. My only saving grace was that she was trying to sell me the services of the dental office, so after stammering through the script, she asked me if I would come in to show her what I was talking about. I had a brilliant idea at that moment! I told her that if she promised to look at the presentation tonight, that I would come by the office and speak with her and bring in my 2 sons for dental visits (the fact that they need it and we don't have a dentist yet where we live was not divulged to her :)). She agreed!

Some of the other calls were made to voice mails, so I'll try them again tomorrow. I got a message from one contact through eBay and her response was that although she appreciated what I was trying to show her, she just didn't think that she had the time to put toward a new venture because when she gets into something, she gives it all of her time. She thought that with Christmas coming up that she would just be too busy. I emailed back that I appreciated her position, and that yes, to really make this business work, there is work involved. But I also invited her to just get a free business mall and do some shopping to get the valuable rebates. If anything, she can save some money on the purchases she is going to make anyway for Christmas. I explained how there is no obligation and that in the future if she is interested in upgrading to a World changer Mall, it is one click away.

So that's how it went folks! Hope you have a good night!
