Friday May 15th-Calling Leads

I am now three weeks into my maternity leave and am starting to get settled into a routine. I must admit yesterday, Beverly decided not to sleep all day and made it so I got very little done. But nevertheless, today has been a little better. I realized that I need to be keeping on top of things on the front end, making sure I am keeping track of my calls and follow ups so that I do not get to the end of the week and realize that I have gotten nothing done. In the last two weeks I have called 40 leads:

• 6- have asked not to be called--they were not interested in a home-based business
• 11- were bad phone numbers (i.e. disconnected)
  
• 11-I have left a voice mail with
• 4- I did not get an answer yet at the phone number
• 8 - I got answers but the right person was not there so I need to call them back

These were leads that I called using the calling edge system. The best part about this system is you can call 10 leads in about 10 minutes, not including the time that you spend actually talking to someone if they are in. It really makes calling leads a lot easier. However, calling leads are still calling leads, so you still have to go through the hassle/game of actually reaching someone on the phone to talk to.

Before the end of the day tomorrow, I want to accomplish the following things:

1. email my downline about the new changes in MPM
2. call the 23 people out of the 40 leads that I have left a voice mail with, or have not gotten the right person on the phone
3. make a video that tells my story to include with my landing page.

Tomorrow morning will be taken up with a visit from a coworker to see the baby and my husband is working, so most of this will need to be done during the time that my 2-yr old is napping or after he has gone to bed. I will update you tomorrow on what has gotten done! I'm off to the grocery store after I feed Beverly!

Rest, Recovery, Rejuvenation, Reconnection

Last week was spent resting and recovering from the birth of Beverly. She is such a wonderful baby. She only cries when she needs something! It has made my recovery a little easier...although I still do not quite feel "normal" yet. However, as Beverly, Avery, my husband and I get settled into our new routine, I want to make sure that MPM is a part of that routine. So my goal this week is to ease back into it. To reconnect with my team members that I am sponsoring, to reconnect with some contacts that may be interested in joining, and to finish my landing page so that I can really begin to market myself. Yesterday I did call 10 leads using the lead calling system MPM is testing. It is a very nice system in that it enables you to make lots of calls in a short amount of time. I called 10 people in about 10 minutes. It also leaves a voice message and sends an email to your prospects. Very convenient. Of the 10 that I called, there are two that I promised I would follow up with (because the people I spoke with said the right person would be in at that time) and there were 2 voice mails, 2 "no answers" that I will need to call back, 2 that asked to be removed from the list (i.e. do not call) and 2 that were bad numbers. These results were pretty typical related to other experiences working with leads except that I got all that information in 11 minutes, rather than 45 minutes.

I have a follow up call scheduled for 1:30 today (10:30 PST), and another scheduled for "anytime during the day on Friday".

That's all for now except another picture of Beverly...Sandy W
