Sumpin Sumpin from the Old Bald Guy

I love, love, love Nectr Rize
From the old bald guy with the cane in Florida
Hey !  I learned something this weekend. Old men can still learn - amazing ! ! !

Lee Hunter (Terra Biotech Senior Executive from Springfield, MO) and I worked a Terra Biotech booth this weekend at a mall in Sanford, Florida. Lee and I both had our reservations about presenting Terra Biotech in a public venue like a busy mall (traffic: 26,000 crazy, scurrying people) on Saturday. But why not stand on your feet for 12 hours and talk to people all day ? Instead of going to the beach ?

Lee did a wonderful job with signs that attracted people with sleep issues. When the “mall people” stopped to read the signs, we knew we were going to talk. Together we gathered 24 quality leads and sold some Nectr Products at retail ($4.00 each). When people spend $4.00 per bottle, this creates an effective filter, i.e., they are more serious about their health than someone just taking FREE samples. And these prospects are usually on a positive health path – our target market.

Here is the story BEHIND the lesson I learned. During the afternoon at 3:30 p.m., a fellow vendor (and event co-coordinator – we will call her, Michelle) – lost all of her energy and went "brain dead." We gave her a bottle of Nectr Rize. Michelle was skeptical and resistant but drank a bottle (I think just because she trusted Lee). When Michelle’s neurotransmitters started firing, she - our skeptical friend - was amazed ! Michelle had a "WOW !" moment. And so did I. Now Lee's skeptical friend has converted into a “raving fan” of Nectr Rize. And Lee has a new Terra Biotech super-star-in-the-making. A real lesson learned for me on Saturday since I was focused entirely on Nectr Calm that day. I recommended Lee's friend drink a bottle of Nectr Rize just because... (maybe because I was feeling really guilty that I had NOT talked to anyone about Nectr Rize all day.)

Here is our “Lesson Learned” in hindsight: both Lee and I agreed that we should have sampled ALL vendors at 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. at this event (running from 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.).

Idea from Lesson Learned: I have a day long church event (called NiceServe) on November 3 in Orlando with people doing volunteer work for the community and held at multiple locations throughout the Orlando area where I travel from location to location and serve as the church/event photographer. So I will be carrying 30 bottles (maybe 60) of Nectr Rize just for our leaders and workers to sample at the time when I see the "mental lights go out" at mid-afternoon. I think I will even "stack the deck" by recommending a heavy lunch like pizza in the Orlando midday heat. This actually will not be fair, but… should work in my favor. So I anticipate being the Nectr Rize Ambassador and "converting" some church members into raving fans of Nectr Rize.

Question:
Do you have a similar upcoming event (church, sports, dance, all day biz meeting, some boring and painful corporate training) where you could be an Ambassador of Nectr Rize?
Plan it. Order some extra Nectr Rize. And do it.

Thanks to Lee Hunter for letting me take all the credit here :-)
Great job, Lee.
