Breaking it down - Win that cruise!!!

There are two main cruise requirements to win this year:

1.  A minimum of $100 wholesale product orders in each of the cruise qualifications months.  That means you have to order at least $232 RETAIL product not including the members love it or promo animals (those only count half). So make sure you're order numbers are correct or you might not get it!

2. 8 qualified recruits over the cruise qualification months - June, July, August, September.  That is 2 recruits a month.

Now, let's break that down a little further.  Industry wide in order to get one person to sign up for your business you need to talk to at least 10 people who express an interest.  And about 1 in 10 people who you randomly talk with might be interested in your business.  That means if you're being random, you need to be handing out 200 or more flyers, business cards, anything per month to get some interested people in your pipeline.

You can squeeze those numbers a little by being more focused in your networking - but overall, since these recruits need to sign on the dotted line AND purchase product within the qualification period, you really do need to talk to that many new people.

But this isn't hard... it really isn't.  It's just a matter of DOING IT!  This is where your cuddlez backpack and those nifty keychains will come in very very handy.

Get a bunch of keychains - 200 for each month of the contest (I know - that's a lot).  Put a sticker on each one that says something about how great our business is with your contact information on it.  If you don't want to invest that much in keychains then get creative and make a flyer - ANYTHING - but make at least 200 of them.

Now each month has about 20 work days or so (taking 2 days off a week).  So that means on the days that you're "on" you need to hand out at least 10 of those keychains or flyers to someone breathing.  And if that someone who is breathing isn't interested then have THEM pass it on to someone they know who might be!

Be aggressive and email 10 more people a day - one at a time - not in bulk - with a very personal note from you and a plea to please let you know if they know of anyone who loves kids and would enjoy a fabulous home business.  Do it!  Between those two things you'll have people funneling through your information pipeline in no time.

But the key is PERSISTENCE.  And you must be CONSISTENT.  Don't give up if the first 10 people don't show interest right away.  We're talking averages here.  It may take a couple of months to get some people to sign. But I do know that you won't get ANYONE to sign if you're not talking to people so ...

Who is with me???

Let's do this!

Whoo hoooooo!!!
