What do you say in your cards?

I get asked all the time “What do you say in the cards you send to people?”  This question seems to be a fairly common one, actually, that is asked of many seasoned Send Out Cards Entrepreneurs by newbies.  It also is a question that makes me laugh, because people are always trying to complicate everything.  This business, as Jordan Adler likes to say, “is so simple that an 8-year old can do it.”  If an 8-year old can’t explain it, then you are making it way too complicated.

I don’t have a “script”.   The beauty of this business is that I can say what’s on my mind and what’s on my heart at any given moment, by typing it into a card.  If I think someone may be interested in using Send Out Cards as a business communication tool to boost their bottom line, then that is what I say.  If I know a stay-at-home mom who is trying to make ends meet with her current job, and isn’t cutting it, then I let her know I may have a solution for her.  If I know a successful network marketer who is researching a new home-based business opportunity, then I tell that person about the SOC opportunity in a card.  What I say to each person is different, depending on what their needs are.

If you are trying to “sell” Send Out Cards, then you need to find something else to do.  It is all about taking a genuine interest in the person you are talking to, finding out their situation, and learning how you can possibly help them. If you are trying to read a script to someone, or have a canned speech memorized, that will turn them off immediately (no matter what business you are in).  People can sense desperation.  Just be yourself, be genuine, and really care about what that person is telling you.

Last night on the call someone asked about what we do in non-holiday times.  Folks, even though this business is a greeting card business, that doesn’t mean we only work around the holidays!  Like DeMarr said at his seminar a few weeks ago, this company will NEVER lose its luster, because the product is a personal, heartfelt greeting card, as well as  unique gifts.  People will never get tired of receiving a sincere greeting card in their mailbox, with photos of their grandkids, or a Starbucks gift card. Better yet, they won’t ever complain of receiving an unexpected box of gourmet brownies along with that card!

We don’t just send cards during the obligatory holidays.  People EXPECT a birthday card (unless they are your client, then it really surprises them), they EXPECT the yearly holiday card, they EXPECT a Mother’s Day card, a Father’s Day card, an anniversary card, etc.  What they DON’T expect, however, are the “Just Because” cards from their kids expressing a heartfelt sentiment, the humorous card from the dog apologizing for pooping on the carpet, the “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me” card from their spouse.  We also send cards to uplift, inspire, motivate, and encourage.  These are not events that are dependent on a special holiday. SOC users send unexpected cards daily. The people in our lives deserve to be recognized, cheered on, appreciated, celebrated – EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Learning from a leader…

Yesterday, I attended our monthly CO Super Saturday meeting.  This one was a little different in that one of Send Out Cards’ top leaders was present to do a special training.  DeMarr Zimmerman is the #3 income earner in Send Out Cards with the largest downline in the company.  He is one of two Eagles in the company (the highest rank in SOC).  He was with us to teach new Send Out Cards distributors how to get on the fast track and reach Senior Manager in 90 days.  As DeMarr put it, “this is where your business really begins!”

I attended this seminar so that I could learn DeMarr’s tips, and pass them on to my team. My goal is to support my team members who are not yet Senior Manager, and to help them get there quickly.  This is where the money really gets interesting!

I took “copious” notes – DeMarr said he couldn’t spell that, but knew we should write down everything! And I am glad that I did! I heard a lot that I already knew (which reinforces our message of keeping things simple!), and I also learned many new tips on how to grow your SOC business.  I also heard some touching, heartfelt stories that further solidified the reason why we all do this business: to make a difference in the lives of others, while at the same time, achieving our dreams of financial freedom.

I plan to write about all the things I learned at this seminar over the next few weeks, so that those on my team who were not able to be there can learn these nuggets of knowledge and be on their way.

One thing important to note is that DeMarr has been involved with SOC for 5 1/2 years, and has over 60,000 people in his downline.  However, he has only signed up about 120 people personally.  He averages about 2 Distributors per month!  So, as you can see, it’s not all up to you!  It’s about the people you attract into your business. You don’t have to be a huge superstar to have a large downline and make true “beach money” – money that comes in while you hang out on the beach!   If you can average 2 or so Distributors per month, you can achieve your dreams! I would find it hard to find someone who couldn’t at least get 2 people per month started in Send Out Cards, as long as they are doing the activities consistently. You never know who will come into your business, and become your superstars! DeMarr is proof!
