My goodness, you look famished! Are you on one of those crazy diets or something? Come on in, let me microwave you some Pizza Pops...let's get some calories in you. Careful, they're hot!
You sit there and nibble. Let me tell you about the time I signed up my first guy. It was December 1994. I called my buddy Peter and said, "Hey, what's your visa number?".
Pete was silent for a minute. "Who is this?" he said, only half jokingly.
"It's me. You and I are getting involved again in multi-level. We're going to get rich. I'm serious."
That was it. Pretty much. I left out the part of him growling, grinding his teeth, grilling me on the comp plan, and the like. But since I was in, he was in.
I did a little dance. I call it the "I Got One!" dance. It's a little jig-like. You bounce on your left leg twice, then on your right leg twice, then spin around and pretend to spike the football in the end zone, all the while singing loudly, "I got one, I got one!".
So I got my buddy Pete in. Now what?
Here's a little quiz. Pretend you're me. What do you do?
a) Run an ad halfway across the country.
b) buy some dead genealogy lead lists half way across the country.
c) load 5000 emails into your Spaminator 3000.
d) help Peter make a list, help him call the list, and show presentations to his list.
Believe it or not, I picked D. Pete and I showed the plan to his buddy Eric. Eric got in. Eric and Peter showed the plan to his buddy Fabio. Fabio got in. Peter, Eric and I showed the plan to a lady named Christine. Christine got in. Eric and I showed the plan to Mario. Mario threw us out of his house. Then he got in later.
And so it went. Within a year Peter had 1000 people in his downline and a solid, passive residual income. It's now a decade later and Peter has over 25,000 people in his downline. It does over $10,000 a day in production. Not bad, eh?
I just signed a new kid named Josh. Josh is 28, hates his job, his wife hates her job, and they are expecting a baby in about 90 days. Let's take a quiz.
What should I do with Josh?
a) ignore him and hope he figures it out on his own.
b) go join a new mlm deal because mine is 14 years old.
c) load 50,000 emails into a Spaminator Mark II.
d) help Josh make a list, help him call the list, and show presentations to his list.
I picked D again. Josh and I showed the plan to Darnell. He got in. Josh and Darnell showed it to Duane. Duane is 6 foot 7. He got in. Now I have a bodyguard....want to bet the leg has 1000 people in it by this time next year?
Oh yeah...I taught Josh the dance too.
How were those Pizza Pops? Stuffed with yumminess? I thought so.
I appreciate you!
