It was another one of those days!!!
After the radio show this morning, I went about my daily chores before I went to make contacts, only to discover the goats had destroyed some stall doors in the barn and they needed to be repaired immediately so that I could again separate the buck from the does.
After spending a good portion of my day on that, I got something to eat and hit the phones.
One machine right after another. Finally, I got to speak to someone! They already had a home-based business and weren't interested in looking at anymore. So I asked questions about that. I asked them what it was that they do, and how it was going. And by doing that I found out their WHY. She has a son with a disability. So, directed the conversation over to NPO's and I said, "So, I assume you have experience with Non-Profit Organizations." She said "yes." I went on to tell her a little bit about how MPM was originally founded to help NPO's create on going funding! Then I said, "I know you must be doing really great at your business, but if you could harness the power of everyday, spending, purchases you make anyway, and help support your chosen NPO, would you at least take a look at it? She said "sure, but I'm really busy and my husband is the expert in this field, so he would have to look at it." I told her that was fine and we exchanged contact information!
Now I tried to nail down a date and time when I could follow up, but she kept heming and hawing and I really couldn't get a straight answer out of her.
So, I said, "Well, you have my contact info. So, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you!" And we left it at that. I am going to follow up in a few days though.
All in all, the whole day wasn't a complete loss. :-)
I also found out that I'm one of 3 in the semi-finals for the contest at the local radio station! Now, all I need to get to the finals is your vote! Go to: www.myfusefm.com and cast your vote. You can listen to my audition spot, and listen to the station all online! Voting goes until Feb 5th. Also, tell as many as you can. If I win I get a 6 month internship with the possibility of a paid possision at the station! I'd also get my foot seriously in the door... The station is an NPO!!!

Ed, we're going to vote right now ;-).
Great job on your call to this woman today. Never know. You just may have a new team member, even if all she and her husband do is shop ;-).
Gotta love those goaties . . .
Pretty slick how you gave yourself your own advertisement on the radio show this morning ;-). You're on your way to finding your power place within MPM. Congratulations, Ed.
