Day 68 - Visit to NPOs

Today was my schedule to go meet the Agawam Director of Bands, Bill Hueglin, I sent him an e-mail last week so he can watch the video. However, when I met him, he still was not able to watch it. So I gave him an summary of TWCCTW and My Power Mall is. He said he still have a lot of questions but will watch the video He will schedule a meeting with the President of the Band Parents Association, Denise Einzig, next week.

I also met with Julian March who is a member of the Youth Action Coalition, a program that help youth groups. He has seen the video and has lots of question on the payment scheme and membership support. He will make a recommendation to the Executive Director, Stacey Lennard. He will call me next week.

I also went to the Amherst Survival Center to me with Tracey Levy, Program Director and volunteer coordinator. However, due to an emergency meeting with the Board she has to cancel our meeting.

I also went to the office of the Marigold Fund and talked to Gary Moorehead who is co-founder of the Marigold Fund, a nonprofit humanitarian group based in Amherst, MA. I gave him my card and he told me that he will watch it and schedule our next meeting with Debbie Knight who is the Chairman of the Board.

For the rest of the day, I made follow up calls but was not able to talk to anybody. However, in my e-mail follow up, I got a response from several leads like Holly and Amandah who scheduled phone calls.

Day 67- Follow up meetings

I had a follow up meeting with the Easthampton Library Assistant Director (the Executive Director) is on vacation. We reviewed the program and she said that she will relay the information to the Director.

I went to the Northampton HS to meet with the AD but he is not around. (He had a emergency and have to go home early). Was not able to talk to any business because the owners were not around.

For the rest of the day, I sent follow up e-mails and made about 15 phone calls. Unfortunately, I got mostly voice messages or no answer.

Day 66 - Winter Storm and a sign up!

We had a terrible snowstorm today so there is no school today and the library (where I always hang out to get new leads) is closed.

So I just made 10 follow up calls and sent follow up e-mails. After the morning conference call, I had a follow up conference call with one of my newest boot camp signup, Michelle. She just learned how to shop at Best Buy and want to learn more where she can shop.

I also received several e-mails asking for more information about MPM. One lead, Jessica whom I just talked yesterday was skeptical. I spent nearly an hour explaining to her why this is not a SCAM and not an MLM. I thought I lost her yesterday. She asked me to call her back anytime today. I did 3 times but got a voice message. I left a message and send her an e-mail that I called her. She didn't call but send an e-mail:"How do I sign up?". So I sent her the instructions to sign up and later, she e-mailed me that she has signed up.

Day 65 - Mixed Day

It was a mixed day today of good news and bad news. Good news because the leads I'm e-mailing and leaving voice messages are calling me back. It's bad news because one of the caller Kevin called me and told me he is not interested.

However, the other caller, Jessica, was initially skeptical but I talked to her and answered her questions for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, she has another call and so she asked me to call tomorrow morning.

I went around the business establishments to follow up. Talked to Mary Ann who told me that she has not decided yet. The other owners I talked to were all busy and didn't have time to meet.

Day 64- Start of Week 10

This is not a good day for me. I had several follow up calls and was able to talk to 2 of them. However, both of them told me that they'll. Bucky told me that it's too much work and that they don't have time for the business.

Nancy told me that she is not interested because she does not want to buy things just to earn money. I explained to her that she is just buying things she buys anyways. She will watch the video again and will call me back.

Today I continued to send follow up e-mails to leads that I have left messages. I also sent e-mails to request for more information.

My total signups jumped to 5!
