Tipsheet One
Get the upper hand & some kickrear attitude!

1. Give you and your babies the upper hand when dealing with people of questionable value to you and your business building goals, and

2. Give anyone who wants it some kick-rear attitude which you and your babies may need somewhere down the line, or sooner. This tipsheet has two parts: 'What to say when they say...' and 'Who's sorry now...?' Here goes.

Is this one of those thingies? You know, one of those pyramid type deals?

Well, let me tell you what we do and you can call it whatever you want, OK?

OK.

We market neat stuff directly to consumers, you know, people like you and me. And we set people up in business to do the same thing. That's how the company we rep expands, and that's why they pay us. You think you could do something like that? If we showed you what to do?

You'll be surprised how people respond. Try it.

EXACTLY as the script is written. Often those same people go: 'Yeah, maybe I could. For a minute I thought it might be one of those scams.' Just smile. And go on to the next point. You can see this acted out on pp 156-161 in the book, The Truth...What it really takes to make it in Network Marketing.

Of course, if they say they don't think they could do something like that, perhaps this isn't the right thing for them to be doing, at least not now. Don't you want people who think they can? Or will you settle for people you have to drag across the finish line?

WHO'S SORRY NOW...? (remember that song?)

One of the biggest obstacles ANYONE in our business has is the huge number of unexpected whiney and pukey types of people...the ones who dump on your idea, product or service. It especially hurts when they announce how 'This isn't gonna work.

This sort of thing is NEVER going to work. Blah blah.'

When you're making $20,000/mo, who cares what they say? But for those who are still working to get there, it hurts bad. Sometimes so bad they have attitude failure right then and there.

So, in honor of all networkers and networkers to be, I'd like to let you in on some people who have pooped on ideas in the past, so you can pass that on to the very next person who does that to you, and then sing or whistle the song 'Who's sorry now...?

Guess who said this:

'Who'd pay to see a a drawing of a fairy princess when they can watch Joan Crawford's boobs for the same price at the box office?'
Louis B Mayer (founder of MGM studios), referring to Snow White.

And who do you think was sorry later? And whose ancestors are sorry now? Everybody in the world knows that Snow White has been and still is a world wide success, Ms. Crawford's boobs notwithstanding. And now look at all the other cartoon based stuff on TV (Simpsons, King of the Hill, etc.) and movies like Antz, A Bug's Life, Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, etc. etc.).

One more. Guess who said this:

'Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.'
Lord Kelvin, British mathematician, physicist and president of the British Royal Society, circa 1895.

Who's sorry now??? Aren't you glad you're not related?

Getting satisfaction. Next time someone gets all pukey on you when you're presenting your business or product, you can go:

"Well, did you know there was this guy, Lord Kelvin, who was president of the British Royal Society, and he said the same thing about airplanes? He said 'heavier than-air flying machines are impossible.' Did you know that? Well, see ya later. I have another call."

One way to never have to eat your words is to never, ever be disparaging about things of the future. AFTER ALL, who knows the future for sure? So why not grant them the possibility?

When someone offers you what you consider is an outlandish idea for a product or business, or about anything else, what if you said:

'Gee, why don't you try it? What if it works? Wouldn't that be just great? Let me know how it goes, ok?'

What have you got to lose?

And besides, what if it does work? You get to say 'I told you so!'
