Are You Good At Telling Jokes? by David Ledoux
Are you good at telling jokes?
I'm not. I'm not sure why. I love comedy. I seem to always forget jokes. It's
like the part of my brain that stores jokes is shaped like a funnel. The joke
goes in, swirls around, and drops out the bottom.
I think someone is either good at telling jokes, or they aren't. Which are
you?
I'm pretty good at remembering one liners specific to the network marketing
business. I love one liners. They make you think hard when you hear them. They
make your prospect think hard too...
Here's one I use at the end of my presentations.
'Mr. Prospect, it's not the speed of your decision, but the accuracy that
counts...'
Drop that doozy on them, then look them straight in the eye, then look up in
the air as if you're trying to smell something. Nod slightly and scratch your
chin.
Why?
I don't know. At least it's a plan. It's better than having no plan! If you
don't have an ending planned for your presentation, you'll end up yakking for
hours until you run out of material to talk about!
Here's another great quote that you can work into your next training or
presentation.
'When you come to a fork in the road, take it!' Yogi Berra, baseball great
and one-liner legend.
What the heck does that quote mean?
I believe that when faced with a decision, not to decide is a decision....
Woops. Another great one-liner.
One of the reasons people never seem to get anything going in their mlm
business is they can never seem to come to a decision. The decide to join. Then
they want to think about it. Then they decide to get busy building. Then they
stop to think again. They commit to coming to events, then they don't show.
I swear that some 40-year-olds are worse than children....
If more people would look at their mlm business, come to a basic decision to
JUST DO IT, then not question that decision for a period of 2 years, they would
be light years ahead.
Doubt creeps into the minds of men like a spider in the attic...
What's 1 tip that I can give you right now that can make an immediate impact
on your network marketing business?

top of your game.
Until next time,
