“The very next week, on December 10th, we gained a new frontline distributor, Bryant – of all things, by losing a coin toss in Jackson, Mississippi. Sharing a co-op advertisement with one of our frontline distributors, June, we flipped a coin to see who would get the first sign-up. June won and sponsored a businessman with a resume a mile long. We got the next prospect, Bryant, though more than a week passed before he signed up under Mable and me. He was extremely well connected, highly motivated and submitted his L.O.I. that following week. That helped us reach our executive qualification volume for December and saved our business. Today both Bryant and we are still in the business (although the businessman who signed under June is not), moving steadily toward our goals.

I’m no genius, but it didn’t take me long to figure out I was worth a lot more than $6 an hour.” John wanted his own franchise, but had no capital. He called every ad in several papers, and after looking at many networking companies, found the right company for him. “What was the biggest appeal? The successful people who were making millions in the business were mentors I wanted to emulate. And they were willing to teach me everything they knew! Here was a group of people with integrity, and a company with products that were going to grab significant market share.
“But the problem was that during that first year, I was terrified to talk to anyone about the business. I was shy, lacking confidence in myself, hoping, but not knowing, if this business would work, and feeling extremely inadequate about being so young, inexperienced, and without money. But my sponsor, Barbara, believed in me, called me every morning to encourage me to get on the phone and start sharing with others the incredible information I had.
