My first 6 weeks as a Monavie Distributor

My journey started approximately 2-3 months ago, when a friend and business associate of mine Paul Spraetz Jr. asked me to come to an open meeting to learn more about Monavie.    I was very hesitant to come because I had been involved in an MLM (ACN) in the past and I quit that business opportunity fairly quickly.    Paul was persistent in his pursuit of me.  His persistent pestering of me via email, SMS, and IM finally payed off.  I attended an open meeting with my Fiance Laura.   I had never even tried the "juice" prior to that meeting.   I was pleasantly surprised with the taste of the juice, but still was very skeptical of the MLM aspect of the business.   I am not a salesperson by nature.   When I finally decided to enroll as a distributor it was because my fiance who can sell anything to anyone told me she would be personally involved.   

The journey so far has been very interesting, personally challenging, and most of all a great learning experience about myself.  I have this deep inner drive to use the Monavie Product as a means to financial security.    However, like every challenge in life, our 1st choice is often to quit when things are not going well.    I have no problem talking to people about Monavie, but I hate "closing" or attempting to get my friends, family, etc. to join/enroll as a distributor.     I have had the range of emotions from day to day with this business.   I go to training meetings, leave the meetings fired up and ready to conquer the world, then get home and feel frustrated that I have not accomplished more / enrolled more people.    I am not a patient person in most instances.   

I started a training class taught by a Blue Diamond Matt Williams about a month ago.  This class has been a great teaching tool about Monavie and has helped me to become more competent with the product.  One of the assignments was to read a book called "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill.   What a great book.   I think the most important lesson I learned from this book was that when you start an endeavor do not quit.   Quitting is what 95% of all people do when they come upon trouble/difficulties with a business endeavor or a tough situation in their life.   "NEVER QUIT".      

Anyone who decides to become a distributor for Monavie, should remember the following things if they want to be successful.

1. Always support your downline.  Your business does not grow exponentially without supporting and educating your downline.
2. Take the 1st month or so after enrolling as a distributor, and learn as much as you can about Monavie and the Monavie Business.   (I am now feeling more comfortable after 6 weeks or so).
3. Use technology (email, SMS, IM) to stay connected with your prospects and downline, but the most effective method to communicate with your prospects and downline is by phone or in person.   If you are trying to "close" a prospect, you need to be in front of them to make it happen.     With email, etc. the prospect can ignore the email and you do not close the prospect.
4. Do not procrastinate.   
5. Make a list of prospects and go after them.  If you wait, someone else with contact them about Monavie before you do
6. Be patient.  Unless you are a great salesperson, give yourself 2-3 months to start getting paid.  You need to enroll distributors in your downline and you start earning residual points once their auto-ship orders come through each month.   

I am still working on my ability to close prospects.   I will succeed and I will never quit.
