Hi ya mate would love to but had a couple of heavy hits in the budget this year. A few promises of sales but promises don't get the bank balance up.Skippy wrote:Only 3 months to the BCI Convention in Queensland its going to be a great.

Re: Hands up for BCI
I had planned on attending this one, first time for many, many years. Unfortunately I am in the same boat as Pup and it looks very much as if I will be awaiting all the pic's from those more fortunate than me.

Re: Hands up for BCI
Pup, I used to train reps and often after doing a demo I'd ask how they went. They'd say sold 2 but 6 people are coming back later to buy. I'd respond with "quick run down and up the mortgage on your house, 6 people are coming back later" or " when your power bill is due, just tell them you're still waiting for those 6 people to come back- they'll be ok with that".Pup wrote:Hi ya mate would love to but had a couple of heavy hits in the budget this year.

I know it's different in your situation but I used to try and make them understand once they walk away you can't count the sale. Disappointing when people don't follow through.
