Day 13 - Follow up and Planning for next week

Spent the day calling and following up all my leads and new leads. Although I was not able to meet with prospects, I gave out cards in the mall and the supermarket.

Had one very good call who will support the Foundation in my mall and may sign up over the weekend.

I will finalize my meeting and prospecting schedule for next week over the weekend.

Day 12 Results

Had a meeting with Frances the Library Executive Director. He has some questions on how My Power Mall works and how it can help them. We rescheduled a meeting again next week after he has studies everything.

I was able to talk to David briefly regarding the Easthampton Little League. He asked me to come back next week to discuss this further.

I did 10 follow up calls for the day and left messages. Talk to 2 people who have not seen the video.

Got my 5 people from the library and the drugstore.

Another Good One from Shuli

Shuli's Blog Post today illustrated how you can start a conversation with your American Express Gift Card.

When she checked into her hotel she took her American Express gift card, she said "I get paid when I use these". The woman said "...really? What do you do for a living?" She explained that she get paid when I use these cards to shop and when she tell others too."

Day 11 - Busy Day But No Sign Up

Today is relatively a short day for me.However, I achieved my 5 contacts with information.

Met with 2 referrals by Northampton High School Athletic Director. Gave their info and told me that they will look at the site.

I hanged out at the library and talk to 3 people. However, 2 of them were reluctant to give information but got my card. The other lady, Megan, gave her information.

I had a chance meeting at my daughter's school with one parent, Lisa Hayden, and told her about my fundraising for the Performing Arts Club. She got my card and will look at the site.

Lessons Learned from other Campers

Aletha's Blog Post mentioned flyers being distributed to children for their parents. However, it could also be what you could provide to explain "what My Power Mall can do":

"...If you know of 5 people who buy groceries or gasoline, we can show you how to do more than save money... we will show you how to make money. All of these while building local charities... while at the same time, building a fund for whatever... (maybe it is a new gym, new uniforms...)

Andrea's Blog Post related her experience when she encountered a shoe clerk in a mall: She said "I have my own PowerMall and I get rebates back from everything I buy!In fact, My PowerMall also gives money to a charity that I chose. Here, let me give you my card and the web site address..."

In her previous blog, Andrea also gave us an idea to how approach schools. One of my contacts was the superintendent of our school district. "Schools are being hit hard here in Maine with budget cuts. I said to her I am an ambassador for My PowerMall, a division of Together We Can Change the World. The mission of My PowerMall is to provide perpetual funding for schools, non profits and regular people just like us! Can you imagine having ever INCREASING funding for school programs? Can you imagine teachers, janitors, lunch ladies and principals getting a monthly supplement to their pay of over $2000? Can I please have your contact information so we can discuss this?

For businesses and a part of new Business Partnership Programs, I like what Debbie mentioned in her Blog :

"I put together a list of 100 contacts, names, addresses, phone numbers and email address (if they had one) of businesses in my town~ . Yes, I actually came up with 100. I couldn't believe it. Then, I snail mailed & emailed to 10 businesses today. I will follow up in a couple of days. I'm very interested to see what kind of reaction I get. I'm optimistic it will be a favorable one :)

The purpose of the new Business Partnership Program is to bring businesses into partnership with TWCCTW & My Power Mall in order to provide ongoing funding for a local charity, provide ongoing funding for the business owner & employees, and to provide ongoing funding for the member who initiates the partnership. This partnership will also give the businesses an opportunity to make a difference in their communities and to gain free exposure as a TWCCTW partner to all My Power Mall members.

This program will be an additional, powerful way for members to build their businesses if they have a hard time making contacts, or just feel more comfortable talking with local business .

Jean L gave us some ideas when talking to prospects: "Well, the World Changer Reality Boot Camp is a program designed to prove that 25 ordinary people can bring in at least $2000 per month within 60 days through My Power Mall. I'm one of those 25, and I'm wondering if you might be interested in joining my team so we can help each other reach that goal?"

Shuli again gave us a powerful way to introduce what we are doing ".. I work for Together We Can Change the World raising money for Aids orphans, handicapped kids and foster kids and I am building a team to reach $2000 a month in 60 days centered around commissionable gift cards...would you like me to send you the link? I would like working with her and hope that she enjoys the link.

Richard de Mint's advise in his Blog that "..when I know I have lost them and it would take some selling to get them back.... So I leave them with my card and say 'if you would like please follow my blogs and see what happens at the end of 60 days and if you change your mind and decide that changing your life and the world is something that you want to do. then please feel free to call me I would be happy to help you.."

Last but not least is Lisa J's Blog on how to avoid a ticket when you get pulled over by a cop.

Day 10 - Results

The day started slow today. I went to see 4 establishments to solicit their support for the Performing Arts Foundation that I raising money for. The first there were not interested but still got my card. The 4th one gave his information and will call me after looking at the site.

I went to the Community Center to talk to the director. However, she was not in the office. The Center is the other non profit I am signing up to raise money for.

I then went to the Library to talk to the Director (who is not busy at the time). He seems to be interested and will look at the video presentation.

My last stop was the school to meet with the booster club president and coach. I got their information and scheduled a follow up call.

Day 9 Results

I got 3 business establishments to give their information and will follow them up in a few days. Generally, I offered them the American Express Gift to help my local charity and as a way for them to reward their employees and customers. I think the best part for them is they will also benefit by doing this.

Had 2 meetings that was rescheduled because the business owner was not present.

I met James Blain at the High School. He is interested to raise money for the school PTA and will call me after he watch the video.

Also, talked to Barb Pricket for her booster club fundraiser.

Day 9 Plans

Doing follow up calls and e-mails this morning before the WC Conference call.

Will go to business establishments to talk to them about partnership with helping my local charity.

Will meet with David who runs the Easthampton Little League for a possible fundraiser.

Will do more follow up calls and e-mails tonight.

The Conference call today was about the launching of the new Business partnership program and about follow ups,

Day 8 - Start of Week 2

This first day of week 2 started slow but towards the end of the day, I got new people with information and indicating interests.

Before this morning's call, I made several phone follow ups but got all voice messages.

After the WC Reality Boot camp conference call, I went to downtown to follow up some of the businesses that I talk to previously. I was not able to talk to the owners who were not in their offices yet. However, I got to talk to 3 people in the mall and was able to get their information.

Late in the afternoon, I went to Easthampton High School for a meeting with John, the Athletic Director. We met with 2 booster club presidents (Soccer and Football). I gave them my information and the web site and they will get back to me for questions.

Week 1- Result

Although I didn't have any sign up for Week 1, I have several prospects which has very good potentials.

Only got a total of 16 names with complete information. However, I got several with only phone numbers so I can still call them up.

Being out of town during Thanksgiving made my information gathering a little bit challenging since I have to get people in my area.

Day 7 - It's Sunday

It's Sunday and although we are not officially required to get our 5, we go to Church and can meet a lot of people to tell them what we are doing. Jewel Stuck in her Blog did this yesterday. (She is not even going to church but just pass by a church). Read her interesting story.

Usually after church, we go and have either a late breakfast or lunch or brunch and again, this is a chance to meet prospects.
