It's about the Blitz

Today was a great day. I did on the job training with two team members. I made 74 dials to clients. I actually spoke with 8 different clients. I had appointents with 4 for our company conference call. I probably worked about 7 hours today but a big part of that was answering questions during our OJT calls.

See you tomorrow,

Dani Johnson is on CNBC

Dani Johnson is on CNBC right now. I guess I missed it in the previews. Not only that, she mentioned my girlfriend "Carmen" we are both clients of Dani's. I owe a rediculous to Dani Johnson and her training. I will never be able to repay all that I have been taught nor will I ever be able to express how thankful I am for the lessons that I have learned!

Dani Johnson is not on "The Big Idea"

At least for tonight. I am assuming Dani Johnson will be on "The Big Idea" another night, I will keep you posted. Business is good. Only 40 dials today about 4 hours because I had to host two conference calls. Also, my advertising didn't start coming in until later this afternoon. I only actually spoke to one person because most of my dials were to older leads. Cathy Auman, spoke up and gave one of her first testimonials on a lived business call tonight. Way to go Cathy! She is an amazing lady. Cathy also set up a marketing system with a client today, keep it up Cathy.

Karen Uyttenhove, also stepped and gave a testimony today! This women are well on their way to establishing their own lucrative incomes working from home. You are doing amazing Karen.

I'll be back,

Ok, one guest no show and one marketing system

Also Cathy Auman, who is a client of mine had one of her guests on the call. That lady kept stepping out she seemed very eager to purchase a membership! Great job, Cathy!

Stay tuned for more,

I love my life!

What a good day. I love Snapresponse.com, there advertising is just smoking right now. Today I made 80 dials, talked to 5 new clients, and got 2 scheduled for our business overview conference call. Both showed up as well!

I got to make 80 dials a day much more often. This business is so much more fun when you have things happening. I am on the conference line with my guests now so I will update you in a little while and tell you what happens!

I continue to be tested...

Today, I had distractions with advertising and some unplanned technical issues kept me working as much as I wanted as well. I probably only put in under 3 hours of productive work today. I made about 37 dials to clients and put two new clients in the pipeline.

In other news, I found out that our trainer Dani Johnson is going to to be featured on CNBC on "The Big Idea" with Donny Deutsch. This is a big deal, I know of no other home based business trainer that has been featured on such a high profile business television shows. We at Decide Freedom International could not be more blessed to be coaching with a trainer that has such a massive track record of helping other people to succeed. I absolutely owe my success to Dani Johnson and her training seminars First Steps to Success.

Tomorrow, promises to be a much more productive day. Subscribe and I will notify you tomorrow when I update this blog.

That's it for now,

Weekly update

I don't have my numbers in front of me for the week. What I can tell you with surety is that this was another week that I did not hit my weekly dials of 400 dials. So far for the year I am at 1 week goasl hit and 3 weeks goals missed. At the end of the year I have to have 40 weeks of 400 dials which means that I have to be much more focused going forward. Good news is I do have momentum building in my business and I did set up a marketing system this week.

We have a Blitz coming up this week in DFI. The Blitz, is one of the best times to be working. It's all out massive action as a team. We are working together and literally impacting the world as a whole. We will see people making money for the very first time in their business. My blog posts may be shorter due to high levels of activity during the Blitz. I am expecting that I will be in the Top Ten for production during the Blitz.

Applying skill

So far today I have made 30 dials to clients. Only4 new requests have come in so far today so I haven't had a great contact ratio only reaching 1 person. I read the script and took them to the website. I also followed up with a gentleman that missed our appt yesterday and got him rescheduled for yesterday. I absolutely love it!



This past weekend at First Steps to Success, I heard Dani Johnson mention that she had a 100% show up ratio to her company presentations. Her clients had to drive to that presentation. I realized that I only have a 30% show up ratio and my clients don't drive, they just call in on a conference call to ours. So I listened to the strategies she was discussing and applied them yesterday. I had 100% show up ratio today for conference calls that I scheduled with clients yesterday. I will continue to apply these new strategies. If I can just get to a 60% show up ratio I would literally double my income!

Day in review

58 Dials

8 People in the pipeline

4 Scheduled for business overview conference call

1 Marketing System setup

5 hours of work

I will be working most of the day about 5 hours on Friday and Saturday because I didn't work as much earlier in the week.

Catching up

I have typically worked from behind meaning that when working towards goals in the past I have usually ended up behind and had to step up my activity in order hit my goals. This week and even today for that matter is no different. Right now I should have made at least 40 dials to my clients and so far I am only at 23. I will be working this afternoon to get caught up to 60 by 6 pm. I should be able to do this. I will just have to stay focused.

I suspect my new advertising should start rolling in any minute. This business is tremendously fun when are you are talking to people who have requested information directly from you. I will update this blog again later. You can also subscribe and you will be notified whenever I update my blog.

Later,

Not a great start to what will be a great week

I returned from First Steps to Success and our Decide Freedom International team event yesterday. This weekend was an amazing weekend for several reasons. We had our DFI event on Friday and had over 60 people in attendance. Mr. Stacy O'Quinn, did an amazing training for us about using a technique with our DFI marketing system known as "Expose, Involve, and Upgrade". We also had another leader in our team that was brought up to help host calls her name is Cadie Kalmes. Mrs. Kalmes, got started in her Coastal Vacations/DFI business when a neighbor told her about this business. In her first week she made $3,200. This month she is on track to have her first $10,000 month. We are excited and completely blessed to have you as a part of our team Mrs. Cadie Kalmes.

Today was the first day of the week that I actually made dials. I did crappy too. I was suppose to be testing a potential new tool for our DFI team. I waited all day but it seems that tool was not quite ready. I will dialing tomorrow either way. I will still hit 400 dials this week but it will take some focused work the rest of the week to hit that goal.

Today I made 28 dials, put 1 person in pipeline and didn't get anyone scheduled for the business overview conference call.

Stay tuned,

Update from yesterday...

My apologies, I did not get a post up late last night. So to get you caught up. Yesterday I made 50 dials to clients from our advertising campaign, took about 3 to 4 hours. Put 4 people in the pipeline and had one person who went to a Business Overview conference.

Today, I am going to make about 50 dials and I will tell you the results of that later. In other news, one of my greatest friends Renae Heikkila, recently had her daughter spotlighted on local and national news. Check it out

20 dials today

OK so that was my goal of 80 dials. I had a lot of interruptions throughout the day. I was not very good at getting back on task. I am much better when I get to work 3-5 hours with no major interruptions. Tomorrow I will hit 50 dials. I had momentum today left over from the weekend and I have to keep building on that as we go into our DFI Event and First Steps to Success. The secret to coming out of training events with huge momentum is this:

Be sure you go into the event with momentum!

My results today:

20 dials

3 in pipeline

0 new people scheduled for the call

1 did go to the biz overview call who was scheduled from last week

See you tomorrow,

Goals hit

I finished up Saturday afternoon with my goal for 69 dials which completed my weekly goal of 400 dials. That took about 5 or 6 hours. Remember, I can't necessarily control who picks up the phone and who shows up for follow up appointments. What I have the most control over is how much actual work I do. My goal for the year is 40 weeks of 400 dials. With New Years being in the first week of the year I did not hit that goal that week. Next week we will be having our first ever Decide Freedom International Team Event and First Steps to Success, so I don't expect to hit 400 dials this week either. I am still looking for a productive week. I am looking to make 80 dials Monday and 50 dials each day on Tuesday and Wednesday. I still need to pack for the weekend as well as other errands. My flight leaves on Thursday morning.

This has been a great weekend as well, my girlfriend and I saw two movies "The Bucket List" and "P.S. I Love You", both were great movies. I completed my poker playing goals; also I just got back from the cigar lounge and enjoyed a great cigar. Now I am going to go back and hit the online poker tables for some more poker fun!

Here are my numbers from this past week:

400 Dials

23 Pipeline

12 Scheduled for Business overview conference call

2 Marketing Systems

25 to 30 hours spent working

Looking forward to another great week!

87 dials today

87 Dials

5 pipeline

1 Biz overview

0 marketing systems

5-6 hours of work

I didn't get started today till almost 12 pm today. That was dumb on my part, if I would have started earlier I would have been finished way earlier. Anyway, as you know if you have been following my blog the past couple of days I have not hit my daily goals. This has been mainly due to two things not starting on time in the morning and not staying focused during the day. Therefore, I ended up working very few hours but I also had plenty of time that was unproductive and wasteful. My daily goal for Friday is normally only 50 dials but today I had to stretch that to catch up. I am working diligently and obediently to hit my weekly goal of 400 dials this week.

My contact ratio was down today but that is due to the fact that I was calling some very old leads on the last 30 dials or so. I was calling leads back from August because I refused NOT to hit my goal. Failure is not an option. Tomorrow I will need 69 dials to hit my goal for the week. This is easily doable.

In other news, next week is our DFI Event and First Steps to Success. We work with such an amazing team of people. We really are like one big extended family. There will be well over 70 of us there and it will be so much fun seeing each other learning together. I can not wait. I will be thinking about this event every waking hour until we get there. I believe 2008 is going to be such an awesome year for Decide Freedom International (DFI) we are just so blessed to be where we are at this very moment. I even feel bad for those who aren't here or don't really see what's going on.

Keep in touch,

Update

82 dials

Worked about 6 hours today.

I will comment more tomorrow. Have a good night.

God Bless,
Jackie O'Quinn

Late wrapup

Going to bed, posting my numbers and I will comment on them later..

51 dials

5 people in pipeline

4 scheduled for business overview calls

2 marketing systems set up (yipee!)

stay tuned,
Jackie

Starting late will bite you everytime

This A.M. I started my dials at 10:30 instead of the usual 9:00 am. That and the combination of taking about 3 hours off in the middle of the day to eat and spend time with Carmen (she had been out of town over the weekend and got back today) caused me to finish up 10 dials short of my goal.
So my numbers for today was 70/3/2

70 dials

3 in pipeline

2 scheduled for Business overview call

Worked about 5 hours today

There was no excuse I should have hit my 80 dial goal. If I would have started on time I could have afforded to take time out of prime prospecting and talk with Carmen and would have still made 80 dials. I didn't put very many people in the pipeline today, I was using some older Coastal Video Leads left over since Christmas. I have about 16 open orders for some real time Coastal Video Leads but SnapResponse.com is in the middle of ramping things up since the New Year. So I should be seeing some real solid steady lead flow by Wednesday or Friday I would expect that anyway.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Saturday Completed

So here are my numbers for today

46/4/3/1

46 - dials

4 - in pipeline

3 - scheduled for Biz overview call, they all attended the call as well.

1 - marketing system set up with a great lady. I am excited to start working with her.

As you can see I hit the goal I set for myself making up the prospecting time I lost yesterday due to a prior engagement. Today was a very productive day. I am now headed out of the office going down to the Cigar Lounge to share a cigar with a friend of mine who had a birthday yesterday. I think I am going to surprise him with a nice cigar, probably a Padron 1926 Anniversary.

Have a great weekend,

Friday Update

Today, I ordered $2,000 worth of Coastal Video Leads from SnapResponse.com. I only got a few of the fresh leads in today but, I had a few Coastal Leads left over that I received after Christmas. I called a few of those also today. I ended the day with 34 dials and 3 people in the pipeline. I was short by 16 dials, I had an appointment this afternoon at 2 pm EST that lasted much longer than I thought it would have. I thought that appointment would last a little less than an hour; it ended up lasting almost 3 hours. So I decided to call it a night and start back tomorrow and make an extra 14 dials tomorrow. So tomorrow, I should have a total of 46 dials when I am finished.

On a side note, tonight I took off and went to the casino and played some poker. After about 4 hours I came out a hundred ahead. It's not as easy as Coastal Vacations but it wasn't half bad.

Ramping up looking for a rocking year!

I have had some technical distractions the past couple of days. But, that's OK. Looks like everything will be good by tomorrow morning and I am going to be rocking it. I will be placing an order of $2,000 worth of leads in the morning. I will be talking to a bunch of fresh high quality people. My goal is to stick with $2,000 a month for now and will likely increase that after the first quarter of the year. I am going to spend as much money as it takes to talk to the highest quality people I can so that I will be able to leverage my time making the most money possible with the time that I have to work. I am incredibly excited about this and I will keep you posted.

Let's rock,

2008 "The year of New Beginnings"

I am incredibly excited about the New Year in 2008. My financial goal for Coastal Vacations/DFI is $200,000. My plan to reach that is as follows...

1) I will make 400 dials a week for 40 weeks. I will accomplish this by focusing on 80 dials a day Monday through Thursday. 50 dials a day on Friday and 30 dials on Saturday. This will be a typical week of work for me. It should take only about 25 hours a week to accomplish that. The weeks that I attend training events like First Steps to Success I will have to adjust that dialing schedule to hit 400 dials but it will still be possible on most weeks.

40 weeks of 400 dials may sound means that I have 12 free weeks. It doesn't mean that I will not be making dials those weeks it just means I will have free weeks for holidays and other unexpected events. With the New Year being this week I actually expect this to be my first missed week of 400 dials for the year. I will still be making some dials during most of those remaining 11 weeks.

2) Complete my resource list of 200 and call it.

So far in my business I have only called about 20 or 30 of my resources and have already earned about $62,000 from that. So I expect to earn a fair amount from my remaining resources.

3) I also want to start breaking into lukewarm prospecting by generating at least 10 new lukewarm leads. That isn't much but as you can see my business focus is in consistent steady dials and completing my resource list.

4) I want to generate $2,000 of profit playing online poker. You get get my plan for that by checking out the link in the previous sentence.

5) My most important goal for 2008 is to grow my relationship with Carmen. I will do that by focusing on being certain to make time for her during the week but especially by maintaining a weekly date night for at least 42 weeks of the 52 weeks of the year. This will be a date with just Carmen and I and no one else. This will give us time to spend with each other and to focus only on each other and our relationship.

I have often set goals that are incredibly high and unattainable. I believe my goals for this year are very realistic and I have a very clear plan to reach them. I will also post to this blog at least 5 times a week for 40 weeks to help me maintain accountability to this goals. So feel free to follow along and to comment if you like.

All the best,
Jackie O'Quinn
