I am currently working a full time day job as an assistant manager at a local petroleum station/mini mart.  I have been there for about 3.5 years now.  I have had several jobs in the service industry ranging from an RV and spa resort, Denny’s, a movie theatre,  Hollywood Video to now the mini mart.

I have always worked my way into the management positions regardless of what the type of business I was in at the time.   I can remember in high school that I wanted to be a manager of a business but had no clue of what type.  Well I succeeded even if it was for a short while of being the store manager for Hollywood Video.

Over the past ten years, I have also been dabbling with the network marketing industry.  I have tried several different types, and I just couldn’t find the right match until a few years ago.  I had to find something that was unique and not everyone else was promoting.  Although, like you I was doing what my local leaders were doing and kept running into a brick wall.

It wasn’t until about 6 months ago that I decided that maybe I should start doing some more investigating on the internet and truly find out about other coaches and mentors who have been doing this a lot longer than myself as well as my local leadership.

I was introduced to Mike Dillard and learned about Attraction Marketing.  Wow! What a concept.  You mean I can stop chasing people and make them find me!

I started to truly just take the time in getting to know people so that they became trusted friends.  People buy from people not because of the need for the product.   If you can’t take the time to get to know your newly found friends, then why would they take the time to listen to your pitch?

I started listening more.  I now write down these new facts about my new friends on a 3×5 card so that I can use my notes when I do follow up with them.  What a difference this makes when following up!

After meeting a few people through twitter and then also following them on Facebook, I was introduced to yet another concept called Permission Marketing.   And after being on Twitter for a few months, this concept totally made sense to me.  Get to know me, like me and trust me and ask permission if I would like to hear about your opportunity.  Nothing makes me more upset with spammers and people who assume I want what they have through an automated DM!

Once I started practicing Gavin’s principles and philosophies, everything changed.  I still work my primary business.   However,  I have found a system that works for anybody in the industry regardless of what product they  have.  As my friend Maggie states, “It’s the missing link to network marketing!”  This now allows me to not only duplicate this with my downline but with other people in the industry who need a system!  http://www.newhorizons72.sponsordaddy.net

Network Marketing is a people business.  If you work to develop your people, the people will work to develop the business.  Personal development is crucial to any leader whether its working for yourself or in the corporate world.   So why not take that first step and join us in the entrepreneurial world and learn what the school system didn’t teach you.

You can follow me  through any of my social networking sites.   I look forward to getting to know you and helping you on your journey to the other side!

See you at the top!
