"Would you like to take a look?"

Those of us who signed on to the 90 Day Run with Richard Brooke have just completed the first month – whether you’re one who signed on or not, the idea of inviting people to listen to the Shaklee Story by asking people if they’d “like to take a look” is relevant to all of you who want growth in your business.

Gary and I have been talking about the singular assignment for the 3 month session – invite one person (just one!) a day to “take a look” at the Shaklee Story (both products & opportunity).  Richard Brooke defines an invite as an event where:
You are invite someone to take a look and they either say “Yes”, “No” or “Maybe”.

We’ve looked at all 4 of the videos now and believe that all of them are supporting just that one activity – inviting.

Why do you think he focuses on this one thing?

I have often said that if our business depended only on what I do in our business – we wouldn’t have a business.  If our business depended only on what Gary did in our business – we would have business.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m confident I’ve made important contributions to the growth of our business.  BUT, without the recruiting that Gary was willing to force himself to do to get our business off the ground and then continue to do on our way to Master Coordinator, we would have no Members or Distributors let alone Sales Leaders.

If you want to have a Shaklee business – for sure if you want a Shaklee organization of Directors & Coordinators – you have to have people!  You have to have people who will “take a look”.  Before you have someone who is willing to “take a look” – you have to invite them!  Before you have anyone to give a presentation to, you have to invite them to “take a look”.  Before you will have anyone attend a meeting or a zoom call you have to invite them to “take a look”.

Inviting someone to “take a look” is the one thing you cannot avoid if you want a business.
One of the things Gary has likes about Richard Brooke’s presentations is that there are many times when he suggests there are some things you will have to figure out for yourself.  For example, Gary would probably not use those exact words, “Would you like to take a look?”.  He figured out that he was most comfortable asking someone, “Would you be willing to listen to an idea?”  Now, that’s not terribly different from “Would you like to take a look?” is it – but it worked for Gary.  Try a couple of simple variations until you find something comfortable for you.  The important point is to not turn it into a speech.

So, if you’re in the 90 Day Run program we hope you’re gaining confidence and experience finding and inviting new people – if you’re not – you can still get on board and start inviting people.  It’ll be fun when you start to get to know new people.   Then, little by little you will begin to have new people to work with in your business.
