Finally after years and years of getting 2-3 shipments a week from Anco Fine Cheese, they dumped their old broker and we are now getting 99% of their work. This week, I had 10 shipmnets from them.
This got me thinking about what we go through to go diamond. I handled their shipments well for 15 years, and finally after being consistant, I got all of their work. I don't know if you can see a relevancy there, but I liken it to what we have to do in the biz...persistance....which will eventually pay off.

Concerned about Mat and Michele
Mat and Michele missed Sunday's leadership, because it was too nice of a day, and Mat said that they would be late. I have spoken to Bill, and our concern is that Michele is using the biz as an excuse to get away and hang out with Mat. I don't think there is any hanky-panky going on, but it is still not right. Bill is rather annoyed, because he doesn't want Dave (Michele's husband) to get a bad feeling about the biz.
Anyway, I told Michele that she should stop picking up Mat, because there is no way that she can get him there on time to the meetings. There have been 3 different occasions where this has happened, and they just ended up hanging out. Anyway, Mat can use his Mothers' car and will come alone to the meeting tomorrow night, and Michele will meet he and I there. Let's see if he does come.
I spent some time with Bill From Zinga's corn patch tonight. I brought him a bag full of tapes, and just chatted with him. Bill LeBaron set up a meeting with him for next Thursday at 5:00 to STP for him. I think Bill will be good, because he is really taking the time to investigate it so that he can feel comfortable when he gets objections.

Transmission Blowout with Michele
Yesterday, Michele and I were on our way to STP for Mat, and her transmission died. We spent about a half hour on the roadside and missed the plan. Funny thing. She found a "flare" in her car for me to use, because I was waiving cars on to pass us. Can you believe one of them gave me the "finger"! Anyway, this was no ordinary flare. It was a square shaped thing about a quarter of an inch deep, with a star shap cut out of the middle. You just light the whole thing and put it down. The problem was that we didn't have any matches. We tried using the cigarette lighter but that didn't work. So we tried to light the instructions on fire with the cigarette lighter, but that didn't work. So I got the paper glowing with embers, and I was touching that to the flare blowing on it so that it heated up. I had smoke and sparks flying all over the place, but didn't work.
Then Michele said that there were some dry branches in the bushes and she suggested that I try to light one of them. So all I could see was starting a forest fire in Suffolk County.
Anyway, that didn't work either.

Bill-Zinga's corn patch..Finally someone with a pulse
Yesterday, I met Bill and his wife, Sarah from Zinga's corn patch. They live in Branchville, and own a fast food restaurant/ice cream shop. He is very interested. He has read all of Kiyosaki's books, and is looking to develop a system. In the past, he was involved in Excel Communications, which was a telecommunication MLM.
The problem was that, first of all, selling phone service was not easy, and secondly, his sponsor was in Florida, so he didn't have any support.
He is really excited, especially because Robert Kiyosaki endorses our business. So we are 3/4 of the way there with him. His concern is just about rejection and handling that. I will pull some tapes that will help him with that. His wife is a "hard sell" as he puts it, but she was impressed with the tapes I gave them from Kiyosaki (they listened to all 3 last night), so I am not concerned. He doesn't mind if she is not on board initially.
Last night after that meeting I met Michele and Mat and we helped Mat make calls. We booked 2 meetings for next week, and a potential third. Mat was very relaxed when making the calls. He did a really great job.
Tonight, I had a meeting with Junior to make calls. I got to Radio Shack and he said that he had to go directly home for some reason. I told him that he should have called me. Anyway, I got my first night pack back from him, so it wasn't a waste of time.
Tomorrow, I am meeting with Ray to get my other first night pack back, so I will have 2 of them back.

"Words to live by"
Words to live by:
The success you achieve tomorrow begins the day before. Take a lesson from the grass. No matter how many times it's cut or trampled on, it rises again and continues. So get back up, my friend, get back up and rise again. Don't ever give up, give more.
Building up is always harder than tearing down. But when you build up, you have something. When you tear down, you have nothing.
Your state of mind is your state of life.
Height matters not, heart matters a lot. There isn't any mountain you can't conquer. GO FOR IT"

Financial stress and a little relief
Well, I talked to Bill LeBaron yesterady and talked to him about our current financial situation. I told him that we were about $2000.00 in the red, and that even though we have the Home Equity line for Chris' college education, and I could draw upon that, I felt that if we did, we were going down.
He understood that but asked what my options were. Not that many. He said that we have to cover our expenses. So basically, I decided that we would take 1000 and maybe another 1000 to cover us now. I am currenlty paying $300.00 monthly back. Bill suggested that I make it a goal to make and extra $100.00 per month with member or client sales, and then increase the payment accordingly.
I feel better knowing that it is not the worst thing in the world to do that.

I will also post this separately, because I think it is really special.
Well, I went to pick up my stuff from Junior, and he apologized for missing our meeting on Sunday. He had a good excuse (LOL), so I am going to meet with him Friday night. He has a few people who are interested, so let's see what happens. I am going to be a little straight with him though about our schedulilng meetings and him having to show up.
I am meeting with Larry (GM from Friendly's Restaurant) tomorrow night, and then supposedly, with Tim later on.
Last night I had a fantastic plan with Peggy from Icepak. She is really excited, and has some great dreams. Following through with her next Wednesday. We'll see.

Went to the Cranford Street Fair today, because I am a new member with the chamber of commerce there for Free Advertising.
Got several new contacts for Free Ad, so I am feeling better now, because I am doing something, but it is just so dame hard. Really scared!!!

Update:Well, I have been working with Michele with one of her prospects named Mat. He is 25 years old and lives with his parents. Nice kid. I Stp to him, and then ft with him after. He is VI and came to Leno's meeting this past Thursday.When i went to make calls last night he said that he cant get started because of his bleak financial situation. I suggested to him that he sell products and make the money to sign up. I told jim to think of it like this:You have a friend named Michele. She owns a store with hunreds of thousands of products. She has made a deal with you that you can sell anything in her store. She will sell it to at her cost, and you can sell it at retail. Whatever profit you make put aside, and use that to register in the biz.He really liked that idea, and his mother wants to but products too.

well, not much going on. Struggling to make calls.Michele is doing Well. again, she is already at 100 PV. I have set up new reward for making calls & getting contacts. If I get 5 new cards, or make 5 calls in a day, I get to download a 99 cent song from iTunes for my IPAQ.Still trying to get 15 plans this month. Never heard from Dan C.I got a call from Huntsinger Monday night. We got together Tuesday so I could teach him about the boxes. I think it was a waste of time, because I dont think he will do anything. I suggested that he get around the system as much as possible. He is STILL hung up on prices. But look who he is listening to...Richard. A broke school teacher for 19 years. Mat (Michele) had to work Thursday night, so he had to cancel our meeting. I will touch base with him Sunday to remind him about Leno on Thursday.

Well, Dan was supposed to meet me on Friday, and come to the business conference Sat night. He was going to call me Friday lunch time to let me know where to meet him at 3:30, and I never heard from him. He also didn't show up on Saturday. PEOPLE.
Anyway, Michele and I made phone calls Monday night, and she is rather scared, but I think she will be fine. She did 300 PV!! That is fantastic.
Ambulance analagy:
She asked me how do you get over the feeling of being a telemarketer. Now she is an EMT. She said that when she is in the ambulance, it makes her think that she is helping people. I asked her if she was driving down the road in an ambulance, and there were people all over the place bleeding, would she stop and help them. Would she feeling like she was taking advantage of them? Of course she said no, she wouldn't feel bad and she would stop.
I said that the people we talk to are also bleeding and hurt, but just not outwardly. If she could understand that people need this biz, then she could see this as a type of ambulance for inward needs.

....So he said that he had to go to a job in Penn. Saturday and didn't have long distance service on his phone, so he hasn't talked to anyone all week. He didn't even know that I had called him.
I explained what happened and why I thought what I thought. He understood, and said that he wants to get together with me on Friday. Boy am I relieved! I really thought something was wrong, as it wasn't like him (not that I really know him) to do that.
Well, we are back on track. So let's see what happens. STP in a few minutes, and working on Michele's list and making calls with her tonight.

Tuesday, August 17, 2004
Bill suggested that if I don't hear back from Dan Charusa in the next 2 days to take him to small claims court. We'll see.....
Last night I STP to Mara from ISI america and she brought a co-worker Francesca. They were very excited, and we had a great dream session. I was going to pick them up and bring them to Rick's meeting tonight. But as usual, Mara cancelled today. She said she couldn't afford it. I asked what she meant, she said she just couldn't do it. I cautioned them about talking to people last night, but you know what happens.
Anyway, I haven't gotten a cancellation from Michele for tonight, so hopefully she will be coming. Excited about her. She did 160 PV so far this month.
FUNNY STORY: When I was on my way into the city last night, the parking attendant wanted to check my trunk. I have one Big box and 2 small boxes. He looks around for a couple or seconds, and then asks me what I have in the box. I told him Energy drinks, etc. He said, ok because the box says EXPLOSION on it. (It says Health Explosion). LOL

Today I found out that Dan Chauruza cancelled/bounced his check to me for the registration fee ($209.00)! I was worried about this since I hadn't heard from him at all.
I sent him a phone message and email telling him that I wanted him to return the products and I was going to cancel his IBOship. I left Bill a message asking if I should wait unitl I get the check back to see the reason for the check bouncing.
I am really disappointed!! You know, when you finally find someone who sounds reaaly good...going to sell water treatment systems, putting people in front of me...business man...you get really excited. And to be slammed not only by him quitting, but getting burned really sucks. Touch to pull out of this one, but I will!!
