Would you attend a business seminar on a Sunday?

Whether you run an MLM or traditional business I'm sure you'll find this post useful.


In my Utility Warehouse business I often attend seminars, trainings and meetings they are fantastic and for the most part free. Sometimes they are on a Sunday and people have asked me before why do I go to seminars on  a Sunday, almost as if it's some sort of crime. To me, to be honest a Sunday is like any other day especially when it's about business and these days it's nothing like it used to be when shops and shopping centres everywhere were deserted and closed.


To answer the question though, one it's because that's the day they run on and two because what if I pick up one tip that will massively grow my UW business, or my team that are there pick up a tip or hear from someone that inspires them to then go and build a massive business. It would be worth it, also I'm always telling my team to go to events, now if I didn't go it would not look very good. Of course it's also a chance to catch up with friends and it's fun too! 


I was at one such seminar this Sunday, The 100% Success Seminar in Kettering run by Mark Adams, It's just over a 3 hour round trip and was worth the journey. I learnt some great tips that I want to share with you, that you will be able to use in your MLM or traditional business.


Listen in 3D
Listen to your prospects for their Desires, Dreams and Discontent you can then match your offering to them and show them how it will work for them.


Make yourself indispensable
Ensure that your prospects need YOU. Make yourself absolutely necessary, essential so that your customers can't do without you, that it would potentially harm their business not to do business with you. This goes back to my last post on giving massive value.


Have no emotion attached to a YES
It's great when we convert a prospect into a customer or client we tend to get a great feeling about it, this means that when we get rejected from a prospect we feel the opposite, It sounds cold but not having an emotion on the yes means we'll have none on the no, the fear of rejection is what stops many entrepreneurs from going on to build a great business. A YES is just one of those that says YES and a No well that's just one of those that says no!
Incidentally the more no's we get just take us nearer to the next yes.


Take Action
Action weighs ounces but regret weighs tons.
Enough said about this really we've all not done something and then regretted it. Here's another relevant quote;
Do today what others won't do so tomorrow you can do what others can't do - Randy Gage
Perhaps he was talking about attending seminars or trainings on a Sunday.




There were lots more great tips and inspiring speakers at the event but I'm going to leave it there otherwise it'll be a long blog post. I hope you found this entry useful.






To your success 
Paul
