Hi Dave,
I recognize the feeling of frustration.....I haven't been doing this as long as you do, but at the start I also couldn't understand why people didn't answer my emails. I also followed everything the "experts" said, listened to calls, attended training calls etc etc, but not much action happening, what did I do wrong??
However, I kept doing my thing, I kept trying to learn about the marketing side, but most of all, I learned to be more patient. And I can truly see some nice results coming my way. I'm in this business for about a year now, and no, I am not making that 6 figure income yet, but I do have sign ups, I do get commissions, and slowly my business is developping into something I could only have dreamed about!
What am I doing different now? I guess I'm just trying to be more positive now, not getting "depressed" for days if someone didn't answer or just not signed up or signed up and canceled within a month, I am focussing all my time and efforts now on the 1 or 2 persons who do sign up or show interest.
I'm no longer "pushing" my business, trying to talk people into signing up, but I'm just trying to connect and see what I can do for the other person. If nothing, sorry for them, then I move on.
Don't get me wrong, it is not that now suddenly everyone replies to my emails, by no means do I see myself as an experienced marketer, I still have a very long way to go myself, but I just wanted to share this with you. I am starting to see results, and I see this business now as something that will develop overtime, and not as some "get rich quick" business.
Feel free to send me a message if you want to talk a little more about this! I'm happy to share some links (free!) with you of sites that helped me change my views.
I do wish you much success too!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Astrid
