Hey guys,
I have to tell you this story because hopefully it will help someone! it will serve as a release for me. So here it goes! As you know I have been working on a new campaign to boost my business. I met with my team, we brainstormed came up with a couple of things and now testing it out to see if it works.
Well, one of the techniques was to call everyone who stop working the business for over a year and see if they made any progress in their life. For the past week we have been getting okay feedback. Some people said “I’m not paying another 300 dollars to join.” others were like ” I still have product that I have not even sold and I wasted a lot of money doing Ardyss.” We were prepared for some of the negative feedback so one of our requirements was to “take no prisoners”, and only talk with those who were interested in hearing and seeing the system and plan we came up with.
I went through my list and came across one of my distributors I sponsored in New York and immediately got that knot in my stomach. She was a great distributor but we had a disagreement sometime back and she exchange some horrible words with me and we decided to call it quits.
I immediately went pass her name but then I started to think “you never know where people are in their life” so I put on my big girl pants and I made the call. At first I had a big lump in my throat and that nervous feeling in my stomach because I did not want the conversation to go the wrong way. We had small talk in the beginning and I told her what we were doing and she said “I enjoyed working with you Gloria and we made a lot of money but to tell you the truth you cost me over 3,000.00 dollars, I got into some serious debt and I am definitely not doing that again.”
So now the battle begins… again…
I had to remind her of the reason why she went into debt. I told her “I asked you to enroll people into your business, not pay their way in! you spent 3,000 enrolling other people who had no intention of working the business which is not what I said.” Before it got to heated I told her “It was an idea that did not work out so well, but now we have something that will work for everyone and I was calling to see if you wanted to take a look.” She took a long pause and said “I have a store now and I am very busy but summer is coming so I will take a look.”
I breathed with a sigh of relief and we laughed and joke a little bit more before we hung up. That was the first time we have spoken since the heated argument over a year ago and to think I was going to pass by her name.
Let me know what you think. Leave me a comment below
