This will happen in our future! No doubt. Guaranteed. It is coming soon.

What?

1> We will talk with a prospect.

2> We will have to say something.

3> Our prospect will judge us harshly.

Don’t worry. Here is the antidote to the impending skepticism and rejection.

Paul Smith says it best. "A story is the shortest distance between being a stranger and a friend."

We can figure this out :)

Our future is certain. We will talk with prospects.

So what are we going to do about it?

1> Hope? No.

2> Create great stories!

We can figure this out too :)

Most compensation plans don’t have a victim bonus, so let’s see 3 examples of the power of a story.

Story #1:

Here is the shortest story that I know, only six words.

"For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."

I think Hemingway wrote that story.

Notice how 6 powerful words create a huge story in our minds.

Story #2:

When we have red personality team members who won’t take our advice, here is a great story so they want to listen to us.

If we were soldiers, and needed to cross a minefield, what makes more sense?

A. To run ahead and cross the minefield on our own?

B. Follow someone who has already crossed that minefield several times, and carefully follow those footsteps?

The message is delivered instantly. :)

Story #3:

I met a person during lunch break on my job. We had a pleasant conversation. We exchanged good stories.

My friend met the same person during his lunch break on his job. They had a pleasant conversation. My friend told a special short story. Because my friend was in network marketing, that story led my friend to an extra $80,000.

Want to get better at stories?

Or stay as we are?

Stories can make us rich. Here are four options.

Option #1

Free. Go to https://bigalbooks.com/book/stories/ and click on the Amazon link. You can read some great short stories in the free preview on Amazon’s page.

Option #2

Grab a cup of fancy coffee, and spend $5 to download the Stories book at https://bigalbooks.com/book/stories/ . (E-book format, or as an audio book) In one hour you will have some great stories to help build your business.

Option #3

Don’t do anything. Hope a good story comes to mind while talking with a prospect.

Option #4

Enroll in the Stories MasterClass. If you believe short, focused, well-constructed stories talk directly to the subconscious mind, get decisions, and can earn you huge bonus checks, then this MasterClass is for you.

You already know where you want to be in your career, so you know which option is best for you.

For some, putting off and delaying learning the skills is okay. They want to do this business as a social hobby.

For others, learning high-level skills from our MasterClasses is what they want to start earning larger bonus checks immediately.

My sponsor earned seven figures from a 30-second story that instantly sponsored me. I didn’t want to join after a three-hour opportunity meeting.

His 30-second story got me to say "yes" immediately. I think stories can be worth millions.

Enjoy the week, and take the action you need to do to reach your dreams. Nothing happens without action.
