Hit your Critical Mass!

Tonight I was having dinner with a distributor of mine. We were chatting about the business of Lifevantage and what we had learned to this point. Believe me we had a lot to talk about! Lol


After an hour of chatting and sushi, I believe that what he learned to be most effective for him was the 3rd party validation. This distributor is a RED colored personality and as you know, RED’S are uncoachable, unteachable and uneverythingable. To hear him share that this is what he was learning now is fantastic. 3rd party validation is critical.

Hit your Critical Mass!

 
With 3rd party validation, what I have learned to work well with me is this: If I have 50% or more influence over someone, I don’t use a 3rd party validator; however, if I have less than 50% influence over someone going in, I know before I get there I had better have a 3rd party in place to support my presentation.

Hit your Critical Mass!
He also learned that growing from one meeting to the next is important. This all takes time to learn anyway and if you are stubborn and born from the corporate world like I was, like my distributor was then it takes longer. Of course, he learned from me, so I take responsibility for this part and know in the future I will make sure to make this a first training talking point.


For me, what I have learned to be most true is this:

Until I can get enough people what they want, then and only then can I get what I want.

 
It doesn't get any more real than this. I spent the majority of my Lifevantage life forcing, coercing, convinicing others to join our opportunity and by the sheer strength of my character, they would join, then do nothing and quit.



Hit your Critical Mass!



I would wonder all the time, “Why the hell do they not do this with us?” Today I know it is because I signed them up for me, for my money, my needs, my future house and Audi A7 - for me. I did all this for so long for me.


Do you know why it is tough to make a call to a friend or family member? Because we are afraid to be rejected for the most part. Do you also realize, in my humble opinion, this is because we are focused on us, our needs, our wants and our future and rankings up the Lifevantage ladder.

Hit your Critical Mass!

 
I hated, hated calling. I would be nervous, scared, the phone was like the fridge to my ear. I would hope they wouldn't answer as my heart pounded out of my chest, mouth dry from anxiety. Why? I was in it all for me. I was nervous because it was about me and my needs.


But now, now it is much different. Now when I call, it is all about them; how Lifevantage can support their life, improve their life, give them a competitive advantage in life. I no longer have fear, or trepidation; honestly, I can’t wait to call people now because I know that:

To get what I want, and I WANT A LOT, I must help enough others get what they want…
 

That simple…that easy.


So, do this for them and you will see your business flourish.


In the last month doing this, I have 2 distributors, 4 bottles of Protandim and 2 Truescience - also 8 people looking through our opportunity. This is momentum; I am at my CRITICAL MASS - so, Hit your Critical Mass, too -


What’s better now is the new distributors know that to get what they want they must help enough people get what they want…that simple.


The handsome one....
