What to say When somebody say NO

Aletha's Blog Post last Friday, Dec. 12, about talking to somebody who is not sure or said NO.


When you ask " Were you able to watch the entire presentation?" and a reply "Well no... "

You can reply "Since you are not interested (or not sure) can I ask you a few question?". The answer more often than not is YES.

Ask "..will you be buying gasoline, groceries or toilet paper?" The reply most is "Well, of course" Then ask, "Well, do you know 5 people that will be buying gasoline, groceries and toilet paper?" "Sure" is the reply. Then tell him/her "OH!... well you already have it made! You get paid to pay your bills and buy your groceries and such. When 5 of your friends do the same, you can have an income coming in!".

Even if you make a measly $50 per month from My Power Mall, wouldn't that help? Fifty bucks can help you pay off your phone bill, water bill, whatever...The point is, extra cash flow helps! Am I right?

Lessons Learned from Herbert

I was reading Herbert's Blog Post yesterday and realized how we call experience evertime we go out a meet people. He is right that whatever is the result of such encounters, always Smile and say Thank You. Read more of his Blog and here is an excerpt:

"Last month I was at the super market and a lady with two young kids was leaving the store with a cart overflowing with groceries. Her cart was so full that she was using her body to keep things from falling out. I approached her and said excuse me miss My name is ___________ and I'm doing a survey for a maketing company. Can I ask you one quick question? She has not stopped walking so I'm walking beside her. Some of her groceries fall out of the cart so she stops. I pick up the packages hand it to her and say would you be interested in learning how you could have earned income for everything you just brought. How you can get paid for buying groceries. She looked at me with a smirk and said look buddy get lost. I smiled said Thank You and went on my way. I would have handed her a card but I didn't have them then. Folks she didn't hear a word I said. LOL

You see even though MY POWER MALL TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD is a business that everybody can benefit from, everybody isn't ready for it. But our business will always be ready when they are finally ready for it. And as sure as the sun will shine tomorrow sooner or later they will be ready."

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."

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 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.

Again, what to say

From time to time, I read about interesting ways to describe what we do and what My Power Mall is all about.

This is one of those from Sandy W's Blog Post. "There really is no opportunity like it--you can earn money back on everything you spend, you don't have to stock or sell any products, and you simply refer others to take advantage of the opportunity along with you!"

Shuli in her Blog Post put it this way: She explain that "...we are not selling anything but rather giving people a way to earn when they buy things and when they refer others. How many people you know buy gas and groceries and who will be charging gifts for the holiday season? Wouldn't you appreciate getting money back every time you did? How would you feel about helping people make money when you shop?

Eleanor Norton has a way of selling the World Changer Mall this way in her Blog: "... we have an opportunity to help a lot of people achieve their dreams with a business, which has very low start up cost of only $29.95 and only $15.95 a month maintenance. The thing is, you can actually recoup your cost and make a small profit by getting $25 worth of free gas every month. Let's see, cost just under $16, get $25 worth of gas vouchers...seems like a no brainer to me."

If you're staying home and not going out, Jean L's Blog suggested that: "... it's perfectly appropriate for anyone who has talked to others about MPM in the past to try those same people again with this fresh approach: ("I just started a World Changer Reality Boot Camp last Monday. The idea of the Boot Camp is to prove to the world that 25 regular people can start earning at least $2000 per month in 60 days. I'm gonna do it and I'm looking for a team of 10 other people to do it right along with me. Check out the website and let's talk about it")".

Approaching People in the Library

Shuli Kleinman commented on my post today and ask me for suggestions on approaching people in the library.

My situation is probably unique in that I frequent the library (almost everyday) so I know the librarians very well. I didn't have the courage of talking to them about My Power Mall before the WC Boot Camp. However, now I have the spiel ("Can you help me out...) to use and suddenly they are now good prospects for me.

Also due my good relationship with them, they are now talking to other library patrons so they could talk to me about this "Boot Camp" training.(If I sign them up, the more they will be motivated to refer people to me!). Going forward, when I talk to these patrons I could now tell them about my project of trying to raise $2,000 per month for the non profits I'm helping (specifically in this case the Community Center and the Easthampton Little League).

Most people who go to the library used the computer and therefore are computer savvy. I talked to one patron one time and was able to show him the MPM web site in the library's computer.

What to say when you get enough courage to do so

Although Shuli Kleinman is my all time favorite when it comes to creativity in talking to prospects, Eleanor Norton's 3 questions approach ( read Eleanor Norton's Post on this topic)is also interesting.

I also like Jean Lachowicz's Approach of using her dog to first "scout" prospects and then start a conversation.
