TOP NOTCH INTRODUCTION
Here are four important points to help you really break loose with your production. It's all about connecting with people to turn sit-downs into sales. 1. Make sure when you go in the home that you are using the people's names that you are talking with. Everyone likes to be called by their name. You might say something like "Mrs. Jones, is it Cathy?" Then you can use their first name from that point forward. 2. Remember to always connect your names. In your introduction, make sure you are showing your pre-approach pad and order books to find out who else they know in the area that has purchased books from you or your roommates: I guess there are so many names because parents out here are as education conscious at home as they are in school. By the way, you should make sure you have copied all your roommates' customers and names on to your name and grade folder also, as well as the names of people who purchased the books in previous years. 3. Always compliment them on how education-conscious everyone seems to be in the area. 4. Remember to use this right before you start your demonstration: "Cathy, I think the reason I am having such a great summer is that all the kids have homework. When they have homework, they all get stuck. It seems that parents can't always help. The reason I am having such a great summer is because these books do. After youve taken a good look, dont feel bad if you want to say no; please just let me know a simple yes or a big fat no. Having a simple and exciting introduction is one of the most important parts to your summer production.
11. Professionals take pride in getting excellent pre-approach so that they don't miss any prospects in their area. 12. Professionals work call backs twice a day. Once in the morning on their way to work and again on their way home at night. 13. Professionals know exactly where they are going to work each day, peddlers do not. 14. Professionals have specific daily goals, peddlers just go through the motions and do their best. How many customers are you trying to get TODAY? Remember to concentrate on controllable goals and fill them out on your weekly report. 15. Peddlers give a monologue and talk at people. Professionals make their presentation a dialogue by asking lots of questions and letting prospects talk. In your demonstrations today, who did most of the talking, you or Mrs. Jones? (The talker is the buyer either they talk and buy your books, or you talk and buy their excuses / objections) 16. Professionals are extremely knowledgeable about their products. How much time have you spent looking through the books you sell? Are you showing new things in your demonstration to make it more fun? Are you spending five minutes a day getting familiar with your books? 17. Professionals are service minded; they think about their customers and how they might be able to help them. Peddlers think about themselves and what they want.
18. In your pre-approach do you find out what time the family is usually home or what color car to look for in the driveway to increase your chances of catching the mom home, or do you just go door to door? 19. Are you thanking every person that looks at your books or that gives you preapproach, or are you forgetting to do that? 20. Professionals take the time to fill out every space on their name folder because every blank space has the potential to cost you money. Peddlers don't bother staying organized; it takes too much effort. 21. When you run into Southwestern books in your area, peddlers seize the opportunity to complain while professionals realize the opportunity to get written testimonials in their samples to help with future sales. Professionals also realize that they are talking with a buyer and they show more books. 22. Professionals are familiar with all their products, not just the lead product. 23. Professionals answer objections before they come up. When you get an objection, ask yourself, Did I try to discuss that concern with the prospect in the introduction? If not, thats o.k., just make sure you cover it at the next house. 24. Peddlers make the same mistakes over and over. Professionals make mistakes then take actions to correct them. 25. Peddlers like to follow Student Managers so that they can take a day off. Professionals see it as an opportunity to learn. 26. Professionals understand the critical importance of being a great roommate. 27. Professionals say positive affirmations between houses. Hey, that one was already mentioned! Professionals understand that repetition sells, besides that one was the most important!

Few things are impossible to diligence and skill...Great works are performed, not by strength, but perseverance. (Samuel Johnson) Persistence is what makes the impossible possible, the possible likely, and the likely definite. (Robert Half) Persistent work triumphs. (Virgil) Consider the postage stamp, my son. It secures success through its ability to stick toned thing till it gets there. (Josh Billings)

Its always fun to hear about new people who think enough of themselves to participate in the most challenging and rewarding summer work available. I am proud of every person out there selling. Effort and Attitude is what always impresses me, not units. I came into my sixth Sunday meeting, my first summer with 80 units. Do you think most people at that meeting realized that same kid could sell over 12,000 units in a single summer? If they paid attention to my effort and attitude they would have known it was possible. I never had a week on the book field that I worked less than 80 hours and most weeks my first summer I had over 180 demos. As far as attitude, I always tried to have fun. My first summer I even wore two different kinds of shoes so that when I looked down to wipe my feet to come in the house, I would start laughing. I did not take myself seriously, but I did take my work seriously. Id like to share four thoughts with your organization: 1. Be extremely proud of what you do. This is a professional sales job. Dont be a peddler. Listen to the Cycle of Selling & Working Smart audios (ask your Student Manager) Southwestern put together. The information in those audio files represents the combined experience of over 500,000 units sold. Dont just go though the motions. Think! Try to get better at every house, every demo, every day. This is a fact: this job is fun when you do it correctly, and this job is not fun when you act like a peddler. If you are not currently having fun with this job, trust me, its the way you are doing the job, not the job itself. Listen to the audios; learn how to be a professional. Youll have more fun! This is probably the only summer job you will ever do that will result in life long friendships. Eight people in my wedding party sold booksone is my wife! Be proud of what you do. Everyone who is familiar with what this job requires is proud of youeveryone. 2. Why did you go to college? I assume you went to college to help you not only get a good job but to teach yourself the skills necessary to excel in your career. No college will prepare you half as much to excel as the skills you will develop this summer. Excelling in this program by recruiting and selling is the closest you will ever get to guaranteeing yourself a successful career. When I left my bookselling career I had over six figures saved in the bank, and I had thirteen job offers from thirteen job interviews. List to the audio on Working Smart and learn how to do this job correctly. I have mentioned the long-term benefits; the short-term benefit is that you will enjoy your work right now, this summer.

3. Lean how to define a good day. My educated guess after spending approximately 8,720 hours selling books door-to-door, is that without exception, everyone reading this letter defines a good day by the number customers or the number of units sold that day. Before you go on, read that last sentence again. If you continue to define a good day that way, it will be impossible to have fun everyday on the book field. My definition of a good day: A good day is when you set controllable goals and work hard with a good attitude and concentrate on improving yourself and helping other people. Controllable goals are demos, calls, hours, improving your pre-approach, etc., etc. One you stop defining a good day with customers & units, my educated guess is that you will have more fun. 4. Its hard to be nervous when your mind is on Service. Its hard to have a bad day when you concentrate on helping other people. I continue to use this positive phrase in my work today. I call on business owners with net worth in excess of five million dollars and I help them with their estate planning. When I concentrate on helping my clients and their families I am not nervous. Spend time thinking about others, not yourself and you will have a lot more fun. It should be obvious that the best advice I can give you is not technical sales advice on how to sell books door-to-door. The best advice is to think positive thoughts and concentrate on helping other people. My first summer I wanted someone to tell me how to have fun and feel good about all this hard work. You have fun by doing the job correctly (listen to Cycle of Selling and Working Smart audio files repetition sells :). You feel good about what you are doing by realizing that you are helping others today and, in the process, you are developing yourself into the best most marketable version of yourself for your future. Good luck to every one of you. I am extremely proud to be associated with you. Have Fun! Sincerely,
