The phone rang today when a consultant of mine felt that 7
months was long enough between phone calls. I had called her often
during the holidays as I gave her a list of ALL the past bookings I had
before moving to Ohio, and never got her on the phone. I have been
longing to here from her as [company] is just what she needs! I
can still remember her dream. She wanted to make enough money to
take her family on a vacation away from the heat in Florida. Everyone
loves her, she was very popular at the first party I meet her at and
knew she could go places in [company]. She started out with 12
bookings and I watched as she let them drop month after month down to 5.
I just could never get her to make 2+2 calls or push for that extra
booking at parties. She was Dead in the water!
Dead in the water, Hi Hank: how's business?
Hank: It's getting better, and who do you have booked in the
next 3 weeks?
Dead in the water, NO ONE!
Hank: That's not good! What have you done about it?
Dead in the water, NOTHING!
Hank: What have you done with the contact list I gave you?
Dead in the water, NOTHING!
Hank: Who on the list have you called?
Dead in the water, NO ONE!
Hank: The hostess that you booked from is on that list
and had 4 or 5 parties a year for me so you should call her! What did
you do last night?
Dead in the water, NOTHING!
Hank: And who did you call?
Dead in the water, NO ONE
Hank: You always got bookings from your church, so who
have you asked to book a party from you lately?
Dead in the water, NO ONE!
Hank: Well, what are you doing now?
Dead in the water, NOTHING!
Hank: If we get off the phone now, who would you call to
book a party?
Dead in the water, NO ONE!
Hank: Well, I would say that you have NO ONE and NOTHING
to blame when your dreams don't come true!
Are you leaving your business up to
NO ONE and NOTHING? Do SOMETHING today and call SOMEONE!!!!
Hank
