I have been with Gold Canyon since November and I have found that the hardest thing for me to do is to make the phone call to get booking and I wasn't even trying to get people under me. I figured that wasn't for me.
While last week I was able to get a fundraiser and with GC you have to have 3 people under you in order to input the fundraiser in yourself without your upline's assistant. I knew that my upline would be there for me but I wanted to be able to do it all by myself. Being the case I knew that I have until the 31st to get the 3 people. Guess what? I got 2 people signed up in two days just by asking if they would be interested and they said yes. I have 2 more people interested and one will hopefully definetly sign up by Sunday.
By doing this I am not motivated to start making those phone call and to stop letting fair stop me for working my business. It is an easy business to work because the product is awesome so I have to stop letting fear and doubt stop me.
If you ask they will come. 2 down and 1 to go before Sunday!!!!

Oh my! That is SO great! Keep up the good work, I know you can do it! Look what you accomplished in 1 day just by asking!
I was struggling with the phone a few weeks ago and just MADE myself pick it up... I booked 12 parties in one afternoon of phone calls! IF you ASK.. they WILL come!
Great work!

You go girl! What's your secret to getting people to book. Just sign up and really having a hard time. Maybe when my kit arrives and my family & friends will see what FEH has to offer.

That day I just set a goal. I did offer an incentive for booking (nothing much, but people LOVE gifts). My goal was 24 booking in 24 hours. True, I didn't reach it, BUT I walked away with WAY more parties than I started out with! I also shared my goal with everyone so they were aware of it. I asked for referrals from everyone I visited with (and got quite a few). I also created a sense of urgency. I only gave people the 24 hours to commit and be eligible for the incentive... I was quite pleased with the results!
Good luck with your new venture. Don't get discouraged.

I GOT THE THIRD PERSON that was needed. I made it to the next level. Now I have to step up my game to get bookings! That is what I am going to focus on now. I do have my fundraiser that kicks off on the 9th of February and I have a open house this weekend coming up ( Feb. 5th and 6th)
