I found a quote by Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, that is both unique and accurate. He said, "People don't know what they want until you show it to them."
I'll start off with one example I know supports that quote. As you probably recall, I was a very discontent young guy who had a job but didn't have a future. That was how I viewed my situation. I called a guy because I heard he was looking for people to take part in his opportunity and I was willing to check out whatever I could. It happened to be Shaklee. I had never heard of it and knew nothing about what this company offered. I sat down with this guy and he started telling me his story and then the Shaklee story. It sounded interesting so I decided to check it out and obviously it literally changed my life.
If I were to make a list of the top hundred things I wanted to do with my life, this business would never have made my list. But after I saw the presentation and the incentives, and the idea that a person could be their own boss, I decided to evaluate what I was hearing. I met some wonderful people and many of them were making full-time incomes from their part-time efforts. I was impressed and eventually decided this would be worth my efforts. Building a future appealed to me as it does for many others.
People aren't sitting home praying that a Shaklee person would call them. But people are sitting home wondering if there are any opportunities as they also might have a job but no future. Just like me. Getting appointments and showing others what Shaklee is all about is what I learned how to do. Make up your mind that you're going to tell people the Shaklee story. You will find those who aren't interested, but you will also find people that are waiting and have hope for a better future.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
