I expected that last Sunday’s ‘Getting Started Training’ which was a repeat visit for me, would complete my knowledge and fill in all the gaps -wishful thinking on my part!.
I still came away with my head spinning. There’s a whole load of stuff to understand and my prematurely shrivelled brain is having trouble keeping up!
Despite the length of the session, it all went pretty well and actually, I do feel as if I’m getting up to speed.
Bouyed up by my new found confidence I signed up a customer early in the week – only to get an email back from exec services to let me know I’d made a mistake on the forms – Clearly this is not a job for dummies, or the partially sighted! I must remember to carry my glasses around with me too – that would be a step in the right direction!
I visited a BNI meeting this week, to refresh my knowledge of that particular networking group more than anything else – having been a founder member in Hull some years ago.
The group in question is actually at the pre launch stage, so it all felt a bit like old times with everyone working toward the magic number of 20 members, needed to launch the group properly.
At the moment the jury is out on this avenue of marketing – it’s not just the expense [or investment, depending on your point of view], it’s the time commitment too. All those early mornings don’t add to the attraction either!
So far I’ve signed up one distibutor and one customer, with another possible distibutor in the pipeline. there’s another customer to sign up next week and I’ve made a point of keeping in touch with the other ID’s in our little team – hopefully we’re going to sort out an action plan for ourselves!
