Day 2 Better than Day 1

Hi All!! Well...day 2 was definitely better than day one! I was able to get the remaining 3 from day one AND get a new 5 by the evening conference call! YIPPEE! Although no one has yet to sign up for even a business mall...I at least know that I CAN CONTACT THESE PEOPLE. I know that I can do it and it really wasn't that hard (well not that bad anyway).

The 2 ladies I had mentioned yesterday were not there when I called today, but I did get a voice mail from one saying she wouldn't really be able to talk until tomorrow morning, so at least she got back to me. I am still committed to getting both of them to sign up at least for a free business mall.

After listening to the call this evening, something struck me that I thought I would mention about your "warm market". And on this note, I have a little confession to make...I didn't think I would be chosen for the Boot Camp and so I didn't think it was a big deal that I went on vacation this week...my family is on a vacation in Colorado for my mother-in-law's 60th birthday until Sunday!! So I have been away from home, away from a true land-line, away from my neighborhood, etc. since this all began. However, once I received the email last Saturday when I was boarding the plane, I VOWED that I would not let these obstacles slow me down and I would do whatever it took to meet and surpass the requirements that Ginny & Jacki had set to be a part of this Reality Boot Camp. Even in the line for the ski-lift today, I at least handed one of the attendants an invitation card; and although I didn't get his information (I didn't count it as one of the 5), I at least felt a little rush thinking that maybe he'll look at it? But back to the warm market...I KNEW that my location would be a challenge, so I started thinking about the people I could contact to get my 5 contacts for the day. What did I do besides hand out fliers on the ski lift and hotel lobby (which I met a great lady with out a computer but wanted to sign-up)? I went to my email/contact list. For every person that I had an email address for, I would check to see if I had their phone number. This includes personal friends, business contacts (from business cards), ebay buyers from the past (I have been selling on ebay for 7 years), etc. And what did I do? I picked up the phone and started dialing!

I had one previous ebay buyer that was a little confused at first, but then I explained that I was not trying to sell her anything, I just wanted to share some information with her about an opportunity I was a part of and that I could use her help. She lives in Texas and so she asked me if I was a Longhorn or an Aggie. For those of you not from Texas, this can make or break a conversation! Well I thought my chances were 50/50, so I told the truth...I was an Aggie, Class of '94. The response: "Well of course I'll look at what you've got to show me honey! You just send that little link over and I'll take a look at your site." BOOM! that was easy...I did also say to her that I was trying to help 10 people make $2000 a month over the next 60 days and her response, "Shoot, if you can make me $200 in the next 60 days, then you've got a deal!" To me this was exactly what Ginny was talking about, just finding what it will take for someone to become a part of your group and get them to their financial goals. Of course, with the late timing again, she has not signed up, but I think that tomorrow on Day 3, I will be able to follow-up with all of those people I have sent the link to and get some great results.

MPM Rocks!

Best of everything to all!
