Givers Gain - Getting Back to Basics

From March 2014  

I was looking for something about getting back to basics i.e. 60 Days to Success and thought this might be appropriate.  It only takes about 10 minutes to listen to the podcast.

I would also refer members to the CD & book they received when they because a new member.  There is a story that refers to a person who has been a member awhile and was complaining about not getting any referrals/business.  Dr. Misner asks some questions, i.e.

-        Do you attend your Chapter meetings each week?  If not, do you send a sub?

-        Are you on time?   Do you network with the other members/visitors prior/after the meeting?

-        Have you had one on ones with other Chapter members?

-        Do you give a good 60 second infomercial?  

-        Do you educate your 'Sales Team' on what a good referral for you is? 

-        Do people understand what you do?

-        Have you given referrals?

-        Do you bring visitors?

-        Have you volunteered to help with the Chapter?

These may not be the exact questions, but you get the jest.  It reminds me of a story that I heard Zig Ziglar tell years ago about getting warm sitting by the wood stove.  If you don't put wood in the stove and light the fire, don't expect to getting any heat out of it.

It all goes back to the 'Givers Gain' mentality. 

You've got to give before you can expect to get.

  And it has to be done in a grateful way.
