Welcome to MPM-Barb!
Another member has joined our family, her name is Barb. I met her through a free lead service (yes, the one that I had given up on), but eventually, if you call enough of them, you can get results. She has worked with insurance sales in the past, but most recently has been laid off from Walmart. She was hesistant to start with the World Changer option because she is worried about her fixed income (which is right now just social security). I told her we would start her out as a business starter mall and then upgrade once she had a chance to see everything and be comfortable with the investment and build her team.
That pretty much was my MPM today. It took a while to work through some computer issues, get her signed up and then walk her through the toolbar and how to get to MPM 101.
Tomorrow and Thursday I will be travelling for work. I'll be going to Blacksburg, VA for some business meetings Wednesday and then to Richmond for some more meetings on Thursday. I'm not sure yet if I will be on the road (or in meetings) during the calls, but I will definatley keep up with the blog and make sure I download the podcast. I'll be talking to the people I meet when I get the chance, although right now I'm not in a position to discuss MPM while "on the clock" with my other job. There will still be plenty of opportunities. We used to live in Blacksburg, so maybe I will run into someone I know...

Starting the new week
I thought for sure, after my weekend, I was going to be able to talk about a sign up--a new world changer.
Ironically, this weekend, I was all ready to leave my new script message on everyone's answering machine. I only got to leave 4 messages all weekend. I actually got to talk to people instead (which is much better). It also meant that I did not get through as many calls as I would have liked, but I would rather have a quality conversation with a few people, than leave my new inspiring message with many. There will be time for that :)
Sunday I had a great call with an individual that I had gotten the contact information from a free lead source. I know...the lead source that I had said I wasn't going to waste my time on. But I did want to follow through with the contacts that I had made. Anyway, I had gotten ahold of her, and she was interested in a way to earn income because she was laid off from her job selling insurance earlier this year. Then she had worked at Walmart, but was laid off from there in October. She's interested in helping people and interested in being able to afford the payments on her house without having to use her social security. We were getting to the sign up point, but she wanted to think about the "name" of her mall, and she was hungry (and so were her dogs). It was dinner time (especially for me) so we agreed I would call her back in an hour. Unfortunately, when I called her back, I got her voice mail. I called her back at lunch my time (11AM her time), but still did not get in touch. I wrote her a detailed email about the sign up process. I even accidently signed up myself because I wanted to make sure my directions were correct (sorry Ginny, I cancelled it right away after I realized what I had done).
So tomorrow I will call her again and hopefully be able to get her started. I want to help her reach her goal of buying her house and helping her friends.
