The best (& least expensive) advertising is YOU! Once you fall in love with the products and the opportunity, you will find ways to share it with others. We come into contact with sooo many people in the course of a day, it is easy (once you tackle the fear, this was my biggest hangupsmileys/smiley5.gif) to strike up a conversation with folks about what we do.
Today as I was listening to a training call, I noticed my mail lady delivering my mail. Guess what?!?!? She had skin!!! Guess where her name went?!?!? On my contact list!!! Guess where I will be tomorrow at that time?!?!? At my mailbox!!! This also triggered my memory, I have been chatty with the mail lady in the Post Office in my neighborhood in the past. I needed to mail my dr. a copy of the Healthy Hormones cd (asking her help by listening & giving me her feedbacksmileys/smiley2.gif) anyway so I decided to do that today. I took a RE9 kit (Carly) over with me. I set the kit on the counter while I was writing, we chatted for a minute or two, I asked her if she washes her face (& giggled when I said it) and said I do. She said of course, I asked her if she would try the set for 3 days & I would be backto pick it up. I told her my # was in the bag along with instructions & to call me if she had any questions.
We'll see what happens. If she is not interested, I got more practice & confidence from doing it. I know she'll love it though so I am excited!!
I say all of that to say that you personally interacting with folks will go a lot further than an "ad" that can easily be clicked away from or deleted.

That's wonderful about the post office lady. I was thinking of doing that too. When you go back to pick it up are you going to do the presentation while she is at work? Just wondering what your plans are.

If she doesn't call me this weekend, I will call her on Monday to arrange the pick up at a neutral location.
On a side note, my regular mail lady that delivers to my house has to wait, I sent all of my other kits out yesterday & today. I do think I will give her one of the $5 hand lotions tomorrow though just to start building that relationship. I'll tell her with the weather change I am sure it will come in handy and leave it at that for now. *Drip*Edited by: Kiana's Mom
