First plan in the new system with TEAM...New 2-5 year plan....

Well, I STP'd today for the first time to a gentleman named Singh, from a company called Neo Jewelers. He is a Customer of mine at Portside. He had a friend there too, who turned out to be in the biz already. Oh well!

But the point is that I really liked doing the plan. I didn't feel like I was roped into reading through the booklet, that we used to use. I talked for a while about them, and I think I made a friend. Then I briefly talked about the 45 year plan, and showed the income graph of that. Then talked about the cash flow quadrant because they are both business people. I think I will hold off on talking about that unless they ask about time.

I then just talked about trends and then showed the can of XS. That's when his friend realized that this was Quixtar.

Anyway, as far as I am concerned, the plan was a success, because I really felt comfortable and I think things flowed smoothly.

Here's to a new 2-5 year plan with GREAT SUCCESSS

New Beginnings...again

Well, it seems that we are in another major change in our business.

There was a big meeting last week that I was unable to attend. Glenn and Pam Schoffler ran the meeting, and basically, what we are going to be doing is leaving the Yager system, and following Orrin Woodward/Chris Brady's System.

Orrin has studied Yager from the beginning, and since both he and Chris are Engineers, they have totally remastered Dex's tapes. So their system follows the way Dex built the business when he first got started.

They STP differently, and we will be leaving the IBO city site and the tools. So everything is up in the air for me, and I am not sure how things will work. But I don't have to know it all right now. I'll leave it up in the air, and trust that I will get the information needed when I need it.

There is a function in Albany on 7/6 that Christopher (Weiss), and I will be attending. It is going to be run by Glenn and Pam. So it should be interesting. I welcome the change, because there is very fast growth in their businesses.

One thing that seems to be very different is the fact that they put people under other people, and develop one leg called the apprentice, then go from there. So I guess they work on building depth in one leg to create stability, and then work on width after there are about 10 people in the first line.

Not very profitable at first, but more profitable than getting a lot of people wide, and no width under any of them, which is what our business has been. So we'll See....

Feeling Frustrated

Feeling a little frustrated. I have a lot of things up in the air, but nothing is happening yet. I have spent all of my time developing the volume in my "first circle" rather than STPing. This seems to be the way that they are focusing these days.

The goal is to lead with products, and then get IBO's from there. The frustrating thing for me is that they are rewarding Go-getters, but with this focus, then it is harder to do that. I suggested to Bill that they count going to health clubs, or bars, or meeting people about the vitamins a "plan" that would count towards the 15 plans in a month. Bill said that is was something to consider, and that he was going to talk to Rick about it.

I have a possible big sale pending with Joanne Dean from The Gale Construction company. I should find out soon. Also, I met with Jennifer from Rusty Kale's Pub, and she is very interested as she owns a Jujitsu studio. She is definitely interested in the XS syrup, and she said that eventually she would become a distributor.

I also had a GREAT meeting with Tarik Rogers, from The Growth Coach. I told him all about the G&I program, along with the vitamins/energy drinks. He said that he knows many people in the health club industry, and that he can get me in to see them. We'll see.
