GAINING CONFIDENCE FOR MARSHAL

[ronmay_rpt@bellsouth.net]

Good Try Marshall and don't give up.

Sorry you didn't have any good luck, however you may get a surprise and a call from someone at the churchs. Don't forget, some more people know your name and what you do. It is all in the numbers.  Good salesman know how many no's they have to get before they get a yes. They call it closing ratio and that is what you are doing.  You are selling yourself and your service.     You keep working---You will get there.   I'm proud of you.

You are probably the only one in our business that has stopped by those churches other than someone that they called. They will appreciate you for trying.

And for any of you that is foolish enough to not go after my business,  If I have done my job right and taken care of my customers you won't be able to get them. If I haven't, I don't deserve them. So have at it. I will still like and respect you. I won't be insulted.  It's called free enterprise. So have at it.
