“Die Empty” – with no regrets!

Here is a beautiful article that a friend shared from the book called “Die Empty” by Todd Henry.
The author was inspired and got this idea of writing this book while attending a business meeting.
When the director asked the audience: “Where is the richest land in the world?”

One of the audience answered: “Oil-rich Gulf states.”
Another added: “Diamond mines in Africa, and another said Manhattan.”
Then the director said: “No it is the cemetery.

Yes, it is the richest land in the world because millions of people have departed from it, “they have died” and are buried and yet they still carried many valuable ideas that were never shared to benefit others. Some of the greatest wealth is in the cemetery where they were buried.”

Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his wonderful book “Die empty.” In the book he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late.

*It is to *die empty* of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it before you leave this world.*

*If you have an idea- perform it.*

*If you have a knowledge- give it out.*

*If you have a goal – achieve it.*

*Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside.*

*Do NOT keep the goodness inside of you, and die full of ideas and be a delicious meal for the earthworms in the grave! Most of us live with the stubborn idea that we will always have tomorrow. But sooner or later all of our tomorrows will run out.

Question: What do you have burning within your heart that you want to give birth to? Make it a goal to make sure you share your gifts to the world. Start by making your list now…”What I will do/share/create before I die.”

Inspired by our own GOALS and DREAMS we have begun making a list in 2019 and are starting to implement some of the gifts we want to give birth to.

Stay tuned to new ideas and teachings, which include a 21-Day MLM Challenge that begins February 22- March 14. (http://newrulesforwealth.com/21-day-challenge).

Another is a book (2nd Edition) “In Their Own Words”, as well as “Life Changing Retreats”…in places like Vermont and the Caribbean or other “Tropical Setting.”

A little about the book “Die Empty”.

One of the best books of the year. Passionate, practical and powerful, Todd will help you do more and do it better, starting right now.” Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception

Most of us fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we’re often left wondering if any of it really mattered. We feel the ticking of the clock, but we’re unsure of the path forward.

Die Empty is a tool for people who aren’t willing to put off their most important work for another day. Todd Henry explains the forces that lead to stagnation and introduces practices that will keep you on a true and steady course.

The key is embracing the idea that time is finite, so you should focus on the unique contribution to the world that only you can make. Henry shows how to sustain your enthusiasm, push through mental barriers, and unleash your best work each day.

Installations have been created throughout the world where people write the THINGS THAT THEY WILL DO BEFORE THEY DIE on the wall.

Before I die….

Is the 21-Day MLM Challenge for YOU?

If you are in the industry of Network Marketing, Multi Level Marketing, (aka MLM) or Direct Sales, THIS will no doubt interest you!

It was created out of a need in business.

Face it, if you’ve been in this industry for a number of years- many- if not most of us know hundreds if not thousands of people.

Things change over the years…. what worked in the 80s, 90’s or even up to 2010 and beyond, may not even be applicable in this industry any more. Or… if they are- they certainly need to be fine tuned.

There are however some basics that never fade with time, and some of the challenges in this course will be included.

Are you looking to create new RESULTS in your business? If so, this 21-Day Challenge may just be what you need. Share it with your TEAM or with friends in other companies. In fact, we just made it an affiliate program so if you are interested in becoming an affiliate, you can share YOUR code and save your team or friends $20 off the cost of the course, AND earn $20!

We know all about ‘challenges’. Take a look around and you’ll see fitness challenges, diet challenges popping up all the time. I have participated in them AND I have also run them, mainly when I was either a personal trainer OR manager of a gym. But I have NEVER seen an MLM challenge, have you?

  • Using Facebook Live – How being authentic is your winning hand

How to Follow Up in Network Marketing? Here’s an example!

You may have heard the phrase “The Fortune is in the Follow Up”. If so, would you agree?

In the industry of most sales, but let’s talk NETWORK MARKETING HERE, I believe there are only a couple of actions we do over and over again in our business. One is ‘follow up’.

Here are the actions that come to mind:

• We introduce a product, service or opportunity
• We give them a sample, a video, a ‘tool’ or more information
• We follow up to see on a scale of 1-10 they have an interest
• We share how they can order, join or if they need additional information, we supply it.

That is about it, but HOW it is done varies slightly from person to person, meaning the PERSON doing the SELLING or promotion of the product or opportunity – but also as well – the person they are talking with. We need to know what their interests are and excites them. (For example, if someone approached me on a financial service opportunity and began sharing THEIR excitement about numbers and ‘industry statistics’ they would lose my interest immediately.

It is imperative to know WHO we are talking with – their interests, and perhaps even their color-code personality.) See free color code test here: https://www.colorcode.com/choose_personality_test/. There is a FREE test or one that is more in depth for only $39.95.

For the purpose of educating you how to follow up we are simply offering ideas so will keep this generic and we won’t use a product or company name.

A friend recently shared how SHE handles her Follow Ups. Her success rate is higher than the average.

In her own words:

“I had a request for one of our product samples from a woman who follows me on Facebook. I sent her samples, then the information sheet so that we were in touch twice. Then I followed up to see if the samples had arrived. She said she would let me know. 2 days later she sends me a note stating that she has a gag reflex and can’t take the product and offered to send it back. First, I let her know it’s available in capsules and then asked her if she knew of anyone that might be interested and if she would share. She will.
Lesson? Ask more questions. I assumed like I have with all samples, that she was interested in the drink mix because that’s what I say I offer in samples.

As a result, I’ve put some questions together for myself.

Request for sample questions: (In the case here, the product is a Thermogenic Drink that boosts the metabolism, gives you energy and focus, helps suppress the appetite and cravings…. and perhaps best of all, helps with healthy weight loss.

First response will be ………that’s great! I’m excited for you. Then….the questions.

1. Are you interested in the drink mix or would you prefer to try it in capsule form? …. what have you heard or seen /read about this product that you are looking forward to? (Is it energy, appetite control, reduced cravings, inch loss? This will give me a chance to remind them again what the benefits of the product are and it creates a dialogue)
2. How much weight do you want to lose? (This will allow me to guess the best I can, home many orders will get person to goal so that later I can use this during the follow up and sale. I can suggest the savings that auto-ship will provide)
3. Is something special coming up or are you doing this for health reasons? (I will get a better understanding of what the motivation is)
I will ‘close’ with…. your samples will go out right away. I will call shortly to follow up. NOTE: if this person is a business person, I will bring up the side project here…. I will say: Before I let you, go, would you be interested in this as a side project if it didn’t interfere with what you’re currently doing? If they say yes, I will ask: would you say your interest level is above or below a 5? (qualifying for a 3-way call).
Plan: I will call in a couple days to see if samples have arrived and ask them to let me know when they do and I’ll go over how to use it with them. (And they do! Now I’ve been in touch 3 times.). I’ll ask when they plan to take it…. tomorrow, over the weekend etc. this lets me know when to follow up and get feedback if I don’t hear from them first.


Follow up:

1. “OK, I’m excited for your feedback. Tell me what you liked about the PRODUCT (that’s an open-ended question that allows me to have a conversation. I don’t want to ask a question that only gives me a yes or no because I want the person to get excited about what they liked which usually entails some examples…. I cleaned my entire house, can’t believe the energy, I’m amazed that I wasn’t hungry, it made me feel great etc. I’ll have this info for the close).
The close: (Also known as “Bringing someone to a conclusion”.)

“It sounds like you had a great experience. I love how it gave you energy and appetite control. I’m thinking this product is going to get you where you want to go for your upcoming event…….wedding, next couple of doctor’s visits, reunion, vacation, just in time for summer etc. does this sound like the right product for you?” (this will give me a yes or an objection to overcome).

With a yes, I will ask:

1. Do you want to order on line, call it in or have me do it for You? (Once I get that answer I will ask them if they want to order as a customer or as a Brand Partner. When they ask me what the difference is, I will tell them the benefits of being a Brand Partner and how many people do this as a side project. If the answer is yes, I will qualify for a 3- way call.

No matter what the response is, I will then say…. Thanks for being opened to chatting with me and that I love referrals, if they have others who think may benefit.

If someone chooses to become a customer I may add “if you’d like to earn your product for free, let me show you how you can as a customer who is on a monthly subscription order. (Again, I’m asking an open-ended question so I can see how the person is thinking. If I would have asked a closed ended question like….so do you want to do auto-ship? They could just say no and that would be the end).

If you are like our friend Keli, who shared HER method of follow up you may also feel the same way.

She shared “For me, I need a model with steps in my mind that I can visualize. Putting a script together will keep me focused, give me direction and allow me to cover everything that I want right from the beginning.”

If you are new to network marketing, and a little gun shy with the business opportunity even though you know how beneficial your product, service or opportunity is, this may be useful. If so, let us know. In fact, please share how YOU share and follow up at info@DaveandJoy.com.

P.S. Now that you have become successful with getting a new customer a sound sales followup strategy is a great way to boost your revenues by selling more to existing customers and by getting referrals to new customers. The period immediately following a sale is what is often called “the honeymoon phase,” when there’s a certain level of excitement on both sides.

Also many customers then upgrade and become Brand Partners so they can begin to earn income with products or services that they enjoy.
