Welcome to Tip #29 of the '77 More Hot Prospecting
Ideas' series.
Tip #29: Wisecracking old lady embarrasses me at the
workshop, but makes a great point.
I'm doing my best. I think the training workshop is
going well, but there is one big problem.
In the front row sits a very, very old man and his
wife. The old man is sleeping. But it gets worse . . .
he's SNORING - really loud.
I try to be diplomatic, so I ask his wife:
'Your husband is snoring and disturbing the
rest of the group. Would you mind waking him
up?'
She replied:
'YOU wake him up. YOU put him to sleep!'
Ouch. She was right. I was responsible for his sleeping
and snoring - and I wasn't taking personal
responsibility for my actions. I wanted somebody else
to fix things for me.
Sound familiar? Do you have distributors who want you
to lower the prices, to move the meetings nearer, to
make the prospects more receptive, and to do all the
work for them?
Teach them about personal responsibility. Remind them
often.
Hey, even I forget.
Your next tip will arrive in two or three days!
