Have any of you approached businesses about the businessopportunity or should I say the "golden opportunity" smileys/smiley2.gif?


I'm just curious if you had a good response from it & if so how did you go about approaching them?


I'm thinking about approaching a day spa, salon or cosmetic surgeon. Any ideas or tips on how to go about doing this?


TIA!

TeresaI totally understand where you are coming from. Who needs more paperwork! What I'm thinking about though, is that when you are a stylist, massage therapist, facialist (not sure what they are called smileys/smiley9.gif), comestic surgeon, etc...you have opportunities everyday to approach people about the biz. Your clients are coming to you because they want to be pampered, given the best treatment & experience the best products. A******'s productsoffers all of those things. You as the biz builder may have to sacrifice a little in the beginning by doing more paperwork then on a regular day, but if you are any one of the above mentioned type &are just renting a booth/room in a privately owned salon then youwon't have a lot of paperwork (I may be totally wrongin that assumption). For the cosmetic surgeon approach, that's what he pays his staff for(I use to work for an orthopaedic physician...I know how they operate. They don't ever do their own paperwork http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif)


Also if you are talking to people everyday about the A****** products & obtaining biz builders, WB & RB...I mean think about it, they are coming to them for their expertise anyways. You could have the potential in making so much more than just $2500 RV per month. Especially if you get a few of those type of professions under you as biz builders.


I don't know...I think it would be a great opportunity for people in that profession...too bad I never learned how to do that smileys/smiley36.gif.


I'm just not sure how to approach these type of businesses in the very beginning to share this wonderful opportunity with them. Anyideas or tips on how to go about that? Anyone else with any experience in this...I know there has got to be someone out there that has attempted it smileys/smiley1.gif.

Ok, that's weird...I know Teresa posted a reply, but now it's gone.

Hi there...yes, I posted but I think I may have been too specific with the numbers for a public board. I also wouldn't want anyone to take it negatively because that was not the intent.


I do understand what you're saying.I think it would work best in a smaller sized practice/salon. In the case of a cosmetic surgeon, his staff shouldn't be expected to push the products so that his residual income grows (in my humble opinion) without the opportunity to sign up themselves and sign people direct to them. In the long run, the dr would benefit also but this is what I was referring to when I mentioned training your staff and then your customers. Unlike a situation where you purchase straight from a vendor, with our company anyone can sign up and build a biz. This is where I think it can get hairy in these situations.


Look at www.thewiserway.com (http://www.thewiserway.com)or www.askthea.com (http://www.askthea.com). Donna Wiser and/or Thea O'Donohue used to have some documents about approaching salons. I haven't visited their sites lately so I am not sure if they are still there.


Good luck!

Thanks Teresa for the websites...I didn't see anything on www.askthea.com (http://www.askthea.com), but www.thewiserway.com (http://www.thewiserway.com) had what you were referring to.
