subject: Amway Distributors – Was Struggling For Prospects Part Of The Deal? [print this page] Have they told you the story of the 10,000 beds? This is usually the story that uplines tell discouraged downlines to keep them motivated. It goes something like this:
If there was a hotel with 10,000 beds and under one bed there was a million dollars, how long would you look for the million dollars? The million dollars might be under the 1st bed, the 499th bed or the 10,000th bed. The answer is supposed to be that you'll keep looking until you find the million dollars because you know it's there somewhere.
What number bed are you on in your business? In other words, how many people have you talked to about Amway and its products and business opportunities? Wow, it sure can get discouraging after talking to your first list of 100 and maybe only 3 or 4 become customers or join your business.
And it can even get more discouraging after talking to 100 more people including every person in front of you in line at the grocery store! And just think you only have 9,800 people left until you reach 10,000! Trying to find a million dollar prospect is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!
What if you could change the story so that the million dollars was spread out underneath many beds and you received a tip that those beds had red bedspreads? How would that make your job finding the million dollars easier?
Defining your target market and leveraging the internet is like getting the tip that the million dollars is under many beds and those beds have red bedspreads. It narrows your market and helps you focus qualified prospects that are already looking for what you have.
