SHOW ME THE MONEY! - Networking a brilliant solution

I was talking to a friend the other day about this BIG, new promotion she had received at work. She was telling me about her new office, her assistant, her new title, and all the new things that were being placed at her disposal, but never once did she say anything about the MONEY. So I asked her, “So, Terri exactly how much money are they paying you to take on this responsibility”? With a startled look, she told me that it would only amount to a couple thousand dollars a year. I absolutely LOST it!! “You have got to be kidding”, I said. “You are selling out for a few hundred dollars a month!” I couldn’t believe that my best friend, the person who had told me no so many times when I asked her to come into business with me, was settling for so little. I couldn’t contain myself.

As we finished our meal, I reached into my bag and pulled out a small booklet. “Terri” I said. “We have been over this many times, and every time you have told me no. If you aren’t interested this time, we will leave it at that. But I care about you too much to let you continue going down this path”.

She sat there silently as I explained about my home based business. I told her about the new product launch of the cleanest greenest skin nutrition on the planet. I told her of how in the previous 5 years our company had done a Billion dollars in sales with only ONE product. Then I showed her, how by working smart once, we are able to generate thousands of dollars in additional income weekly and monthly; not yearly as she does.

“You see Terri”, I said. “By helping someone else achieve their financial goals, you can achieve your own. It’s really quite simple. Let’s say you find 5 business partners. You will receive a check from the company for $300 each; that’s $1,500. Now here’s the really cool part. When they get their 5 business partners, you get another $150 each. So let’s see, that’s 5 who get 5.” Terri nodded. She finally got it! And it’s called leveraging in business. Corporations leverage employees to bring in bigger profits, the unfortunate part is employees, get stuck on fixed income, while cost of living rises and job security is on shaky ground. Who’s in trouble? It’s always the employee!

As we completed her application Terri said, “You know, I would have joined you years ago if you would have just SHOWN ME THE MONEY!”
