If you talk to

5 people a day x 5 days a week = 25 people per week
25 people per week x 4 weeks a month = 100 people per month
100 people per month x 12 months a year =1200 people a year.

Share your business with just 5 people a day and you’ll have new customers, new hosts, new fundraisers and new distributors. Think about this…introduce yourself to 5 people a day (less than 2 minutes each) and you’ll have introduced your business to 1200 people this year.

If you share your business with 1200 people…

What if 10% would be your next host? That is 120 shows…about 2 per week for the next year.

What if 10% became new customers? – Would you like 120 new customers this year?

What if 5% became distributors? - Would you like 60 new distributors this year?

What if 1% completed a fundraiser? - Would you like 12 new fundraisers this year?

What would your business look like? How would that make you feel? Would that help you reach your business and financial goals?

Sounds wonderful doesn’t it. You too can have a business with lots of new hosts, customers, distributors and fundraiser organizations

Simply talk to 5 people a day = 25 people a week = 100 people a month = 1200 people a year!

So how do you find 5 people a day to talk to?

EASY! Think about all the places you go during your normal day. And then share your business with EVERYONE you meet. Do not prejudge, just simply share what you have and let them decide if they are interested. Since I am promoting my candle business, each person was given a MiaBella Hot Apple Pie scent sample and my business card.


 Today, I went to the school to volunteer and make popcorn. I worked with a new mom that I hadn’t met before (contact #1)

 Then I stop at the cable company to get a new modem. I talked with the agent. (contact #2)

 Then we stopped at dunkin donuts to get my daughter her favorite PINK donut. I spoke with the cashier (contact #3)

 Next stop was the library to return some books and while I was checking out my books, there was another woman also checking out books. We got to talking about the book she was borrowing (contact #4)

 Then we stopped at the pharmacy to pick up my prescription. I gave the pharmacist a scent sample and business card (contact #5) and then also the cashier (contact #6)

You see…6 contacts and just doing the things I would normally do.

You can meet people anywhere and everywhere right alongside the people and places you normally go. Make it part of your routine and soon you will be introducing your business to 1200 people a year too.

Thanks for this info, Louann.


I would love to hear feedback on those who are already doing this or have been doing this as to the results they have seen.

Anyone want to share?

Thanks for this post. It reminds me of something I read only it was the Get 100 Nos a Month challenge. You could also triple it up by asking if they (1) wanted to see a brochure (2) learn about the business or (3) knew anyone else who may be interested in 1 or 2.

Some people are afraid of asking someone if they'd like a scent sample or brochure in person, but once you give it a few tries it does get easier. What's the worst that could happen, someone tells you "No" and then what? You've not lost anything but you've gained a little bit of experience. If you get a "Yes" you've gained a new customer or team member.

Wow... Thanks for sharing. I will have to pass that on to my team. I like seeing the numbers broken down like that, five people a day isn't much but wow it sure does add up!

Do you mind if we share this with our teams? It's great info broken down into manageable steps... LOVE IT!

Feel free to share this with your teams :-) I just ask that you leave my signature line in the document and be given credit.

Here are some ideas on what to say when you meet that person at the bank...

Do you burn candles (or whatever your product line is)

Well Listen, here is a free gift, visit my website and enter the free drawing cause I give away lots of incredible products every week and the next time you buy candles, I’d appreciate your business.

Then stop...pause...

Hey by the way, if you know anyone who is looking to make some serious income, I am building a local team to expand this product line.

Most people will say...Thank you and move on. When they do, you do the same...DO NOT START "throwing up" on them with information. LOL

If they start to show interest, you can simply say...

Well if I give you some information, can you look at it tonight?

or

We are both here to get our shopping done, but I'd love to give you a call and tell you more. Could I call you tonight.

YOU CAN DO THIS :-) We can work our business right alongside our families, jobs and other obligations. Try it out...make some samples to give away and do it for 30 days...I promise you the words will start to get easier and easier.

This is information that we learned at one of our company meetings. Great info and Yes, I do use it and pass it onto my team mates.

Wow, it is great to see the numbers broken out.

People love our The Power of 5 report.

Thanks for mentioning all the people we may have missed while out on errands, it's all about lifestyling our great Mia Bella Candle business!! Sure adds up doesn't it.

May I add tho, please follow up with these people as well, next time you see your Pharmacist ask if they enjoyed the sample, etc, that was the one part of this formula I was not doing at first....following up.

This goes right along with my article on Using your Calendar to Lifestyle Your Business....and yes, follow ups are a must.
