Hi Michael,

That's a very generous offer and sounds like it's going to be a great seminar! Unfortunately a bit too far for me (Toronto, Canada) but any chance you're going to be recording this? Just an idea!

I cannot believe this thread hasn't blown up with 2 or 300, " can i have a ticket please"

@ you guys that are just sitting on your ass waiting for the money to come to you.

Get with Mike. ... jeesh... what are you waiting for ... its free sales teaching...
it what makes the world go round...


@ mike, where were you when i was starting my career?
I would have bought a grey hound ticket, and rode the bus, for a week, or longer if i had to, to get to your seminar ...


fyi. "Sales" drives EVERY business, everywhere on the planet. its one of the
universal truths, every time you buy some thing, from some one , from some where,
some body .... sold you ....

Would you rather be the sheep or the wolf ?

Hi Mike, Can you please confirm the location, is it somewhere in Memphis, or it's in Tulsa, Oklahoma as the workshop section on the website says?
I am very interested to participate, please let me know where is the place exactly so I can check traveling details

May 22 looks good to me Michael. if it's in Memphis. Details please. I would be travelling 2 hours to get there.

Thanks a lot for this opportunity. Can you reserve a spot for me as well? I would like to attend the 22nd May class.

Great offer, Michael. My only concern is that people have been banned for offering free webinars on this forum ("self promotion", according to the powers that be)...and this is a lot like that.

I'm certain those who are able to attend will learn a great deal about selling, though.

I can't make it as I'm really far away with work/family commitments and all, but if anyone could use a sales class here, it's me. Good luck with your seminar!

If I could make it... I would be there.

Do you resell the material on any sites?

I am getting some PM as well. I will fit whom ever I can in I may squeeze in a few extra spot if needed but really need to keep it close to the limit. I am happy to serve my fellow warriors.

Michael,

I want to publicly thank you even beforehand. It's funny you say the veterans are the ones usually thanking you the most. Perhaps it's because we realize the value of attending a workshop or seminar, reading a new book, listening to a new cd, etc.

I have been in sales for about 30 years. I have a massive collection of books, etc. that I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from. I am a firm believer in the statement: "if your not growing, your dying". I am sure I will pick up a nugget or two from your seminar and I thank you for that. I especially thank you for the open offer to warriors here in the forum. You see, I, like yourself believe in helping others as much as I can. I think it would be a travesty if your offer was in any way a violation of forum rules. I'm sure the forum was started in the same spirit of helping others!

Looking forward to meeting you as well,
Ed

Thanks for sharing this! I am very interested. I hope that this helps me increase my sales!

I have been to Michael's Seminars. All I can say is that he will totally enlighten you to a new and effective way of selling and thinking about sales.

Plus he's just a cool guy.

Ok warriors between this thread and pm's we have only a few spots left on friday the 25th. Let me know between now and wednessday if your in.

How'd this go? Any WF'rs show?

Yes I did have some show while others had circumstances that with held them. But here is one survey that was filled out by a warrior that attended. I survey every class I do.......

Its interesting because I guess about 2 1/2 years ago, 6 months before I had written the telemarketing report...maybe 3 years actually. I had just started back to selling websites on the phone. After a good run several successful "bulk liquidation" deals in a row...had run into a rough spot with my liquidation stuff...and had put all my eggs in one basket...and ended up getting the worse end of the risk... Long story... I needed to pull some finances...

Michael, who at that time was managing a car lot and was number one.... had been planning for the ENTIRE YEAR to quit and start selling training to car lots...

He explained to me how it worked.... For a whole year I didnt get it. I saw he was excited about his idea, I knew he had the potential and ability.... but I wasnt so sure about the idea itself....

This is where its interesting and ironic....So anyway,

Around 3 years ago, he came and spent the night at my house... It was his day of days!

He comes over to my house, busts out these new suits he had bought himself...and said "John I did it! I took the plunge!"

I said , did what?

He said "I quit my management job, and Im going to spend the night here and get up in the morning and go out cold turkey and cold call and start my business..."! (my town was a big car dealer town)

Admittedly I was a bit afraid for him....such an obscure idea it seemed... but I knew he was a big man, he had ALOT of bills, and he has children to support, so I knew he wouldnt do anything stupid...

If he believed in it that muxch, then I must have been missing something....

So , here's the cool part about that night. I had come a cross roads myself and needed to do something "guaranteed" (telemarketing) that would pull in some finances because I had wasted months away on that liquidation deal that I just "knew" was going to close put me in early retirement....

Well the night Michael came over I was sitting there with a note book.... and said "Its amazing that you would come here on this night because we are planning to start new businesses tomorrow... and I proceeded to explain to him that I had ripped 6-7 pages out of a phone book and was going to start cold calling for web sales the next day. For those of you who dont know, in Arkansas "A phone, and a few pages ripped from a book are what we call a "success plan". Lol

It pretty much works if you just call people.

Wether on the phone or in Mikes case, knocking on doors...

Both of our plans were 'SOLID" and "proven". cold calling works.

So anyway, that night we came together at a unique moment when we were both jumping off the peer at the same time.

We were both at that moment of jumping into whole different worlds...

So the next morning Me and Mike got up , he put on his 3 peice suit, and I set myself up a little cold calling table.

We wished each other luck and each started our new businesses the next day...

My very first day of locking down in the cold calling room I wrote 5 appointments and later that week closed about $2400 in biz from it...came back to the WF , got an outsourcer, fulfilled, never looked back.

Months later I wrote the first telemarketing report from the experience.... and well the rest is history...We have the TMF now, and all this growth...lol...All stemming from that day.

Michael went out that day, his first day and landed some interest. I think he even booked a client!

That was almost 3 years ago...

The man has never looked back, he has a regional rep now that is out of this world, he has made a truckload of money....and for 3 years he has never reported to a job. Some days he gets up and works, others he just takes the kids somewhere for a father day...whenver he wants to. He never lacks.

He has depended on his own entrepreneurship since that day, and Im damn proud.

His own ability to hunt puts him and his kids in a house that he and I would have never dreamed of when we were children.

So proud of Michael. He's the real deal for sure.




PS. I said all that to say that Michael is a great example of what happens when a person truly comes to the moment of "decision" about success...., and so am I for that matter....

When you are ripping phone book pages out and locking yourself in a room with a "decision" that "Im not coming out without business". You will come out with business. But the decision has to be made and no room for subconscious argument.

The subconscious will leave you whiney and broke...

Let your conscious decision over ride its chatter and everything else.

-JD

As for me an Mikey.... We know what it means to make that decision, and we aint ever lookin back!
