Things have picked up a bit in my referrals in 2007 from the holiday period at the end of 2006.
I am excited to get over 9,000 (my stated goals were 10,000 by the end of February and 20,000 by the end of 2007.
A couple of quick points -- I put a picture of my account summary on this blog (should have done this earlier).
First, as you can see I have been active with friends in adding some direct referrals in 2007 - five this year. I really recommend this to all – including you people with great blogs – to personally recruit people who you think will do great AGLOCO recruiting. These are the people that really produce results.
Second, as I have pointed out before. My 70 direct referrals have produced almost 9,000 extended referrals. That is more than 100 extended referrals per each direct. I know if you get referrals from a website or advertising you can not influence their referral ability (I read that AGLOCO will be adding an opt-in communication system to help a bit with that). But, by adding some people you do know to your direct referral list, you can help them to make more referrals – answer questions etc.
Really important – to get referrals you have to ‘stick your neck out’ and you have to ask people to join – and be prepared for more than half of them to tell you NO (and that you are crazy or stupid to work on this.) – Get over it. Most new ideas are rejected by most people. You are not asking anyone to part with any of their ‘hard earned’ money, so don’t be afraid to stick your neck out.
