GREAT SOC STORY:

 

Hi Otto,
 
I received your card last night and I love it! I was having a difficult day and came home late last night, checked the mail and there was your card. I never heard of that company that made it and mailed it, but I have to check it out. How did you make it? It's so cool. I'm sure I'll be keeping it forever cause it's so neat.
 
Thank you so much it sure made my day. I was having a deal fall through on financing and after receiving your card my energy changed and I attractted a mortgage broker that is saving the deal. So there you go.....the Law of Attraction in action.

 

Thanks so much. Do write and tell me how you made it. I want to do it.
 
Brenda
 
PS. What a great time we're living in.....when you can make someones day that you've never met on the otherside of the world without leaving home. Awesome!

 

CUSTOMER SERVICE STORY:

 

Hi Megan.  I have a really neat SendOutCards story.
I was in Indianapolis with my son, daughter by love, and new granddaughter and of course filled part of my time with SendOutCards. I made a call to Customer Service, talked to Emerald about something I needed, and told her how wonderful SOC is and how much I love it, and that it was so great to be able to send the cards I needed to send even though I wasn't at home because of the new baby. Well, a couple of days after I got home I got a card from Emerald congratulating me on the new granddaughter and telling me that she enjoyed our talk.  
I was so blessed!  There is not another company anywhere that walks the talk like SendOutCards!  I just wanted y'all to know about it.

BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS VS ONE ON ONE GIFT
ACCOUNT WALK-THROUGHS:

 

Many companies do 'Business Presentations' to introduce
their opportunity to prospective distributors. There is nothing
wrong with this and it builds large organizations. I spent 13 years
doing 1-3 of these a week. We would rent large meeting rooms
in Hotels, Movie Theatres and Churches. At one point we were
doing 3 per week with a minimum of 150 people at each one.

 

The benefits of doing these is that each week, a group of people
come together and get to know each other and build relationships.
There's credibility in numbers. The drawback to doing these is that
it requires an enormous amount of time, energy and effort.  Much planning
and expense goes into putting on these meetings. A group of people
must arrive early and leave late. Their must be a team of volunteers
to set-up, tear down, get name-tags and markers, rent the room,
plan the schedule and speakers, prepare presentations, collect money,
deposit money, keep financial records, etc.

 

I have always been proud of the fact that we have built a team
of over 42,000 people without ever doing a business opportunity
presentation. Some people will still want to do them. The most important
thing to remember is that people need 'community'. They need to meet
and socialize with other active distributors to feel a sense of involvement
with the organization. This can also be done through trainings, Eagle's Flight
Team Building Network Meetings, Pizza Parties, In-Home get togethers, etc.
Its important to create opportunities for your local teams to get together
even if its just to hang out and have fun. I like to have people to my home
in the mountains 2 or 3 times per year for a party.

 

I also believe that if we make people dependent on meetings, if the meeting
does not occur, people become paralyzed. Our team members begin to
believe that they cannot do it on their own. They begin to feel that they
must have a meeting to build SendOutCards.

 

We want to give as much control and power the the individual as
possible. If you choose to have get togethers, its important to
constantly train your team members to be able to do a Gift Account
Walk-Through and work on doing at least 1 per day. Imagine
what happens when you have 100 or 1000 team members doing
1 Gift Account walk-through per day and not waiting for the next meeting
to occur. Think about what Bill Gates did with the PC. Prior to the personal
computer, the big corporations and the government controlled the computer
systems. Bill Gates had a goal to get a computer into every home in America.
He wanted to give the control to the individual. I want you to consider
doing the same thing with your SendOutCards business. Imagine each
one of your distributors having 100% control over his/her business. So he/she
can do it without having to depend on the upline. So I have always worked towards
empowering lots and lots of people to do their own gift account walk-throughs and to
team them to teach their team-mates to do the same. That way you'll have
many people driving the engine of growth vs just a few that run the meetings. Is
this making sense?

 

MAKING MONEY - FOR THE DOUBTERS

 

I was driving with one of my good friends, Ja'Life the other day through
some amazing neighborhoods in Cleveland looking at big beautiful homes.
In fact in some cities these homes would go for 3-5 million dollars. These
were stately mansions. One thing that I noticed was that 2 out of 10 of them
had for sale signs on them! I started to wonder what the story is behind
the sellers of these homes. It probably goes something like this. . . 'I used to be
the CEO of a large corporation and my company has gone bankrupt. I need to sell
my home'

 

There are many markets like this in the country and people are selling their
homes and not buying (overall). I then reflected on a couple of other stories of
close personal friends of mine. Bob and Betty Ann Golden are now doing quite well
with SendOutCards, but a number of years ago they owned a very successful retail
auto business in Northridge, CA. The earthquake put them out of business and literally
them to go belly-up. I have some friends that are very successful Chiropractors in
Mobile, AL. Dr Chris told me that at least 2 times per year, just the threat of
a hurricane causes them to have to close the office and evacuate the city. By the time
the office is back up and running, typically, 5 weeks of business has been lost.

 

I then became really grateful. You have probably heard me say in the past that there
are 25,000 towns and cities in the US. Imagine having just $100 a month coming in
from 1000 towns and cities. If that is a little more than you can imagine, just think about
having $100 per month coming in from 200 cities across the US, Canada and Australia.
(I'll let you figure out how much that is each month). A network marketing income is
completely resilient to local market challenges that can put a traditional enterprise
out of business. For example, if there is construction along the street in front
of your business that makes it difficult for patrons to enter and exit your parking lot
for 1 year, imagine what can happen to your revenues. What if the market takes a turn or if there is a natural disaster
that shuts things down your town for a few weeks. Network Marketing is resilient to these types of
situations because your income is spread out over hundreds of people and markets around the world.
Pretty cool!

 

WHAT IF KODY DOESN'T WORK??!!

 

I recently had a call with the leader of a team that had some concerns
because the 'Kody Bateman Gift Account Walk-Through' was not working
in a part of Canada. In fact this team has experienced a big slow down
in recruiting because they can't walk-people through sending cards.

 

Okay . . . we need to talk. What is a walk-through? Its walking someone
through sending a card. Up until 2 years ago, the audio/video walk-through did
not exist. Here are 2 questions for you. Can you send a card? Can you show me
how to send a card. Sit me in front of my computer and show me how to send a card.
If the video doesn't come on, show me how to send a card, just like you would send
a card. That's a walk through! In other words, your #1 intention is to let me experience
what it feels like to send a card to someone I care about.

 

As a last resort, you could always simply have me log in to your account
with your user name and password and you could then coach me step by
step through sending a card.

 

OR, you could go into my contact and click on VIEW CONTACT next to my name. Then
you could click on ENABLE GIFT ACCOUNT and create a user name and password for me.
At this point, I could log in with my newly created username and password and you could then
coach me step by step through sending a card.

 

I prefer using Kody because its 100% duplicatable. In other words, while someone is doing it,
they are saying to themselves . . . "I can get someone to go to this banner and click on it!"
However if for some reason Kody's video is being blocked, simply take them through sending a card
by coaching them through it on the site. If you send out 1-5 cards a day, its easy to show
someone else how to do it. Our team had over 20,000 distributors before we had the Kody Bateman
Banner Walk-through!

 

BUYING LEADS AND TOOLS:

 

This one could be somewhat controversial, but I feel the need to share my
opinion with you based on what I know to work best. In today's economic times,
most people have limited resources to spend on their business. Usually with lead
programs and prospecting tools, someone can spend between $150 and $600
per month on tools offered by network marketing training and lead generation
companies. We have the very best lead generation and prospecting tool program
in the industry with SendOutCards. I would much rather see someone spend that
same $150-$600 per month with SendOutCards for a few reasons:

 

1). You'll get better results using cards and the tools provided by our
company than the ones you purchase from other companies. A pictureplus
card is one of the best tools you can use to follow up! You can also use
the newspaper insert, SOC Success From Home Magazine and/or the Free DVD.
Why would you pay for tools from other companies when you have these things to use?
2). Most lead programs are a waste of money. The only people
that make money are the ones selling the leads. I have met many
people that are upset after spending literally hundreds of dollars on leads and promises
with no results.
3). The money spent on leads and tools actually will negatively impact not just your
business, but if you team knows you are purchasing them, they will want to do the same.
Now all of a sudden, dollars that would be spent on cards, gifts and tools are being spent
with other companies. The diminishing results are now being magnified throughout your group!

 

Stick with the amazing tools and training that we offer through our system and teach your
team to do the same thing and you can't go wrong!
