wow, you know the call you just must do when someone joins your business? the thanks and welcome one?
I was pretty good on phoning a welcome but only the welcome, some people would be quite cold and some quite hot. It wasn't until I studied the color to success method [link] that I started to have really good conversations with every single person I call. EVERY SINGLE ONE!
Today I knew before he told me that my new member was or used to be an engineer, I confirmed his primary colour was green after asking another question about how he got to the site and so I proceeded to use words like "exact" and "facts and figures" and "links to check out the company and products" . yey! he was totally responsive and we had a good chat and I feel I have developed a relationship with him.
Not only is it good for me to be able to do this, it is good for my members. They'll have someone they can call and be comfortable with and now I have the skills to determine their strengths and weaknesses (even if they don't know what they are) I can help them so much more and with less frustration than ever before.
I'm still learning the skills and I look forward to meeting new people now and just getting their colour.
It surprises me everytime I see and experience the colors method and mentoring working. I get goose bumps when I can see someone open up, someone who I previously would have thought to be cold and unresponsive.
BELIEF:
I had a funny thing happen today, I was telling my Miss Lovely how some sports science program I watched explained how the body and brain can work together, how the brain can work out the complex mathematics required to throw a ball into a circle or a dart at a board.
Lot's of nice geeky techno babble ensued (in the program) and it seems the best of the best just trust their ability to throw true. They don't need to actually try to hit the bullseye or basket, they just go through the motions that they have done again and again backed by their belief and experience in their own ability.
I watched the program at about the same time as I was reading the chapter on desire in "think and grow rich". It kind of fit in with that and the story about the 4 minute mile on Tony's tapes.
"what's that got to do with anything?" she said
"if you believe and trust yourself, you can do anything" I said trying not to sound too cliche and hammy. :-)
"prove it..." was the challenge...
I picked up a piece of paper and screwed it into a ball, "watch.." says I and wound up to throw it across the room into the waste paper basket, I visualised it and pictured the arc of the path to the bin and believed that my desire would make my brain go click and wurrr (like Robby the Robot) and tossed the paper ball. It went in!! lol she "yey"'d and I "yey"'d (I was surprised too hehe).
not bad but it didn't get scary until I said, "watch, I'll do it again" and picked up a dart. Aimed at the board (ok so I wasn't the regulation distance from the board) and went through the same mental routine and relaxed my shoulders, would up, fired and hit the bullseye on the first dart!
scary!! I had a thought go through my head .."with powers like these, I could be a superhero!" just like Jim Carey in the film Mask.
the next dart went in the 25 ring and the third just below that one.
LOL, it went a bit quiet for a few seconds and we just looked at each other in a soppy way and I told her how I believed we could do anything together (we're sickly soppy according to some people we know!) . It occured to me that Love is like an in built skill, something that you need to just let happen on it's own power, you only have to wind up and let go and trust your heart and brain. If it's really Love that two people feel and they believe in each other then their life will hit the bullseye everytime.
Plus, I considered going on a world darts tour or joining a netball team.
I feel like I'm floating when I go places recently, it's like my whole brain has had that clearing and popping feeling you get when you go up in an aeroplane and I can't wait to see what else it can do!
OMG I hope Michael doesn't turn out to be a cult leader, with his and Tom's Jedi training powers they could take over the world!!
