Alex felt tired as he parked his delivery van at the end of a busy day. He had been trying to grow his direct selling business for months, but every time he talked to someone about it, things didn't go well. He started to doubt if he was good at this, especially after a recent unsuccessful attempt to recruit someone.
However, everything was different when he found training audio about effective communication in direct selling. Interested, Alex decided to listen to it while making his next delivery.
As Alex drove through the city, he listened to the training audio with great interest. The trainer's voice in his earbuds asked, "Just imagine, if the earnings are perfect for you and it doesn't disrupt your time at all, would you be excited to look into a great opportunity?"
Alex was thrilled and eager to try out the new techniques he had learned. The next day, while delivering a package to a receptionist named Caesar, Alex felt confident and decided to test his new skills.
Alex's Conversation with Caesar: A Script
Alex: Hi Caesar, how are you today?
Caesar: I'm doing well, thanks Alex. How about you?
Alex: I'm great, thanks for asking. You know, Caesar, I've always admired how organized and friendly you are at your job. Can I ask you something?
Caesar: Sure, what's on your mind?
Alex: Just imagine, if there was a way to earn some extra income that perfectly fits your schedule and doesn't disrupt your current job at all, would you be excited to look into that kind of opportunity?
Caesar: (intrigued) That does sound interesting. What did you have in mind?
Alex: Well, I've recently started a business that I think could be a great fit for someone with your skills. We are both on duty now, I need to catch up with my next delivery. I'd love to share more details with you over coffee sometime and show you all the details. What do you think?
Caesar: You know what? That sounds like it could be worth exploring. Why don't we grab coffee next week?
Alex: That's fantastic! I'm looking forward to it. How about next Tuesday after work?
Caesar: Tuesday works for me. See you then!
Alex left the office with a spring in his step. For the first time, he felt confident and excited about sharing his business opportunity. As he continued his deliveries, he couldn't help but smile, knowing that he had finally cracked the code to effective communication in direct selling.
