Chapter 16 Death, Death on the Way to the Charge!
There are three highest peaks in the world of Meilu: Silver Medal, Diamond, and Crown Ambassador, one mountain looks at the other. Every Meilu person, from the day he was born, packed his bags and embarked on this arduous adventure journey one after another. From the day I joined Meilu, I longed for the silver medal, and when I got the silver medal, I had the influence to confirm the numbers on paper in the OPP and straighten my back and show my passbook, so that those friends who "will come when you succeed" were speechless.
In 2001, the market was still in the recovery period of the cold spring, and our biggest problem at that time was the notoriety of MLM. So, as soon as our friends were seated, we sat down and spread out a copy of the "×× Daily" (with two full-page image advertisements of Meilu Company), and started the following conversation very seriously:
Xiao Fei: "What kind of newspaper is this?" ”
XX: "×× Daily." ”
Xiao Fei: "×× Daily is an organ newspaper, do you think MLM may advertise in the organ newspaper?" ”
So-and-so: "Probably not!" ”
Xiao Fei: Open the newspaper, "Look, what is this?" After that, the product demonstration and OPP were carried out in order......
In the three years since the end of the "4.21 MLM Storm" in 1998, Meilu, the American rat, has almost become well-known to passers-by in China. It's like after 2004, when newcomers mention Meilu, others ask, "How much discount do you sell?" Again, this is a situation that today's Xinmeilu people dare not imagine.
It should be said that at that time, the seemingly "surpassable" system of 4% leadership bonus and this newspaper still contributed to strengthening our belief that "Meilu is not a pyramid scheme". In order not to scare the newcomers away, we really did everything we could at that time.
Within four months, my college classmate Guo Song's initial stocking and my father's performance of the whole group made a breakthrough, and I rushed to 12% in February of the following year. To produce performance, you have to rely on sales bit by bit, and the speed is indeed slow. Up to 12%, it is like climbing Mount Everest to the base camp, and it seems that the silver medal is already shining in front of you.
At that time, I would talk to Yahan, who had been on the silver medal, almost every few days, and nag: "When will I be able to get the silver medal?" "Watching the directors (collectively known for silver, gold and DD) who are difficult to invite alive and dead are swaying freely on the stage, flowers, applause...... The silver medal has almost become the pinnacle that I aspire to climb even in my dreams. It seems that on the silver medal, my beauty road has been successful. Before 1998, it generally took about two years to get a silver medal, and in 2001, the Meilu China, a silver medal, was still a rare animal!
Industry colleague Xiao Wan is an old acquaintance when the travel agency does business, he was the representative of the Jiuzhaigou International Travel Service Office in Tianjin, his joining soon brought me out of the Beijing Tongzhou Fu Sister market, which was the first real sense of the foreign market of the whole team at that time, since then, a 12% began a weekly trip to Beijing - Tongzhou. On a return trip from Beijing, I fell asleep on the long-distance bus, and the only 400 yuan was taken away by thieves. It's a pity that the Beijing market has been active for less than a few months, and Sister Fu has shrunk into a sharing customer.
But fortunately, the addition of high school classmate Li Jiang timely filled the gap left by the shrinking market in Tongzhou, Beijing. Li Jiang watched our two high school classmates busy with this and that, and quickly joined out of curiosity and trying. He was so eager to join at that time that he couldn't even wait for the money to be gathered, so he went straight to my house, threw off 800 yuan, took the net amount of 4,800 yuan and left. Just held a few family gatherings, and two months later, Li Jiang directly "hung up". After Li Jiang "hung up", he went straight to my house and threw a bunch of unsealed products to me, but he hadn't paid off the money at that time! Looking at a pile of goods, for a 12% who is difficult to even eat, it really made me uncomfortable for a long time. The few seedlings that Li Jiang left behind at the Tianjin Daily office later became customers, and many of the sales were dug up from here when I became a silver medal six months later.
Kill Xia Minghan, and the descendants! After nearly half a year of follow-up, my other best friend from high school, Zhao Yi, came out of the mountain. Zhao Yi's family and my family can be regarded as world friends, his mother and my father work in the same department in the same hospital, and we study in the same class in the same high school, he and Yahan can be regarded as my best friends in the whole high school years. Zhao Yi was still a foreign affairs policeman at that time, but he longed for freedom from the day he went to work, and Zhao Yi was very tempted by the "free" sky of Meilu.
Zhao Yi had just gotten married at that time, and in order to get married and buy a house, he owed more than 40,000 yuan in foreign debts. At that time, we had a whole set of processes to facilitate newcomers to borrow money to buy goods, and after several analyses, Zhao Yi finally made up his mind to borrow money to make a 9%. It was August 2002, and at the beginning of the day, Meilu's main force was still his wife Yanan. Yanan is the sales director of an insurance company, and he is familiar with sales and staff growth, and they are a very active group almost from the beginning.
Zhao Yi and Yanan later resigned, sold their houses, got silver medals a year later, and sold their cars to pay off their debts when they left Meilu two years later, and then heard that they were also divorced. Zhao Yi is the only partner and friend who officially broke off my friendship. I knew he hated me, even though I only found out about his resignation, the sale of his house, and the sale of his car. But Zhao Yi blamed me for everything, even the divorce, and I can't escape the blame - because it was I who led them into the purgatory-like gate of Meilu.
I tried my best to get this friend back, but Zhao Yi still left resolutely. Zhao Yi was the biggest pain in my heart for seven years, and until 2006, when I spent time in Guangzhou, I often talked to him in my dreams, when Zhao Yi had been "dead" for two years. After Zhao Yi left, the group below him dispersed like a floating cloud. It wasn't until I returned to Tianjin at the end of 2006 that I dragged Wu Hao under Zhao Yi back from the "morgue". Wu Hao followed me and left Meilu last year, without me, Yan Zuan would not have been able to lead him. In 2007, Wu Hao issued another silver medal below, and this young man from other places who became the director in two months quit his job in a British-funded enterprise, and is still struggling to support himself. This is the most difficult thing for me to look back on, I really don't know if Zhao Yi can understand my heart for him! I'm really sorry, Zhao Yi, if there wasn't Meilu, we would still be best friends.
From 12% in February, to Zhao Yi's coming out at the end of July, and then to the first anniversary of Meilu in October, my performance has always been fluctuating in the wind and rain, from 12% to 9% to 12%, with ups and downs every month, and my performance jumped like an electrocardiogram. At that time, Yahan often shared her experience of getting a silver medal at the conference, and the momentum of jumping off the building in the month of not being a silver medal inspired me to keep moving forward. I finally rushed to the stage in October when I finally grabbed the microphone (that is, shouted the goal on stage) in Tianjin Chenggongling, I was the emcee of the conference at that time, and no one could grab me. I remember that I was arrogant at the time: "This month is the first anniversary of my joining Meilu, and I will be awarded a silver medal when I die!" "But the reality is that I'm only 12 percent. At that time, we used to say, seek above and get the middle, ask for the middle and get the bottom, ask for the bottom and get not! After all, it was only 9% last month, and the silver medal did not go up, but the performance still increased compared with last month, and the people below also added a few mouthfuls, and they were a little comforted in their hearts.
In November, I rushed to the stage again at the local Chenggong Ridge in Tianjin, and this time my vow was: "This month is the first anniversary of my Meilu, and I will be awarded a silver medal when I die!" "Actually, whether it is the first anniversary of joining Meilu or the first anniversary of doing Meilu, the number of the first anniversary is very commemorative for me, but the inexorable reality is that my performance has fallen to 9% this time.
On November 24th, I returned from Foshan Chenggong Ridge, and I decided to hit the silver medal again in December. It was the last month of 2002, and if you don't do it, you'll have to wait until next year, but you still have a goal for next year. I secretly made up my mind in my heart: no matter if it's the first few months of doing Meilu, I will die and be awarded a silver medal! I didn't go on stage again this time, and I lost face the first two times.
Yahan helped me re-analyze all the lists, who can give up, who still have hope, and who need to focus on follow-up; In terms of performance, how much the existing department can contribute, how much individual sales should do, how many newcomers are planned to be recommended, and how much each person needs to sell. After some planning, I saw a glimmer of life. After a few months of impact, the group has added a lot of words, not to mention, the strength is really much stronger than before.
December is fast approaching, but trouble is coming. First of all, the father's group, the old man was old and couldn't afford it, but finally agreed to cooperate with the 9%; Zhao Yi and Yanan are the most active and motivated, but because of their mentality, they just think that doing Meilu is working for me, and they are less than 12% when I get a silver medal; Then there are the four newcomers who were locked in the early stage, none of them can get out, and I am so anxious that I am like ants on a hot pot - turning around.
According to the original plan, my personal sales were 9,600 yuan, but in the face of the new pattern, I had to repeatedly increase my personal sales. From 9,600 yuan to 14,000 yuan, then to 20,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan, 40,000 yuan, and then to 50,000 yuan. Later, when I got to the silver medal, my personal sales eventually reached a net amount of 49,000 yuan, and if I had known at the beginning of the month that I was going to sell so many things, I would never have died! That month of purgatory-like torture made me sell almost everything I wanted to sell in my life.
Unlike many teams who only want to make recommendations, at the beginning, we still attached great importance to individual sales, after all, this is the foundation of stable performance. At that time, we had a whole set of effective methods, first get a person, and then expand the people around him through him, and then expand it in a circle, which is called customer referral - to point to face.
I had a good customer at that time, Li Tingting, she was one of my friends who had a good time in junior high school, after listening to the OPP plus the "airplane cannon", Tingting's face did not change, but she still got a card for face. Tingting works in the Tianjin Housing Bureau, during the lunch break, I often go to her to deliver goods, send magazines, a colleague who goes to her office is also interested, and then through them to get this floor, and then I rush to the silver medal this month, I have taken down their daily consumption of the entire building, this building contributed 19,200 yuan to me that month. Of course, they don't do it in vain, whoever introduces me to customers, I give a commission according to the customer's consumption, and the proportion is calculated according to the company's system. When Mr. Yang from Shanghai trained us in sales, he said that treating your customers as your partners is equivalent to a group that does not have meetings. There are a lot of aunts and aunts in that building who are greedy for cheapness, and they say that they are determined not to do Meilu, but they really haven't done it? They just didn't come to study!
In addition to customer referrals, we also have a unique recipe: to be a big customer. It is to persuade customers to buy products for three months, half a year, or even a year at one time, and buy less than 3% in batches without gifts. At that time, in order to get the silver medal, I almost overdrew the purchase plans of many customers for half a year or even a year.
After Li Jiang's "death", he left a customer in Tianjin Daily, and he also made a 9,600 yuan in this way. In those crazy delivery days, I had to get it eleven or twelve orders every day. When you go out in the morning, you have seven or eight big bags on the handlebars of your bike, and you can go out on a shaky way, because the city is too big and your home is far away, so you can only bring everything you need for the day. Later, it was too late to ride a bicycle to deliver goods, so you could only take a taxi, the high cost was really heart-wrenching, but time is money, you want to be on the silver medal, you can't have goods without sending it!
I remember that one day I was going to send a 2,400 yuan order of Yazi (a beauty brand under Meilu) and Beixijian, and after sending those big bottles, I rushed to take a taxi and went straight to the customer's unit. Because after the delivery of the goods, I still have to rush to the company before getting off work, so I am in a hurry. The 2,400 yuan Yazi and Beixijian are really not as good as those big bottles, and when I paid and got out of the car and rushed into the elevator, I found that my hands were empty...... Fortunately, after the order was delivered, my new sales had not yet landed, so I had to smile bitterly to comfort myself, and now I finally placed an order. Later, when he was so tired that he fell asleep on the bus and lost his mobile phone, Yahan said: "It's good to lose something, that means you will definitely be able to get hired (for awards) this month." Believe me, this is my experience coming over. "We were in a really good state of mind, and in front of the goal, everything was insignificant.
The pressure is getting bigger and bigger, all I have to do every day is to keep demonstrating, keep ordering, keep facilitating, keep delivering, keep selling, and have little time to sleep, I've already desperately bet all my hopes of getting to the silver medal on sales, and the locked newcomers don't seem to be able to count on this month. Every day, no matter how busy I am, I must come to the center, and if I can't see Yahan, I feel that there is no hope for the silver medal.
Buying and selling a large number of goods, capital turnover soon became a problem, and everything that should be borrowed was borrowed, and finally all the stocks in his hands were cut and sold cheaply. The 20,000 shares that I was reluctant to use even when my life was most difficult turned into 9,000 yuan in cash. On the last day of the month, when I walked out of the center with a few large bags of products, I tragically handed 10,000 yuan to Yahan and said, "If the company doesn't see me show up before it closes, make all this money into performance." "I finally sold those big bags of products before sunset, and Yahan turned the money into goods. At half past seven o'clock in the evening of December 31, 2002, before the company's rolling shutter door fell heavily, I finally got on the silver medal, and the actual performance exceeded the net amount of more than 9,000 yuan compared with the silver medal. 13 months, 14 months shorter than Yahan's 14 months on the silver medal, I finally began to surpass.
That month, the entire team received a total of three silver medals (Xiao Fei, Lin Chao and Ruotong of the Dagang team), and Yahan also justifiably went to the pearl. The sales frenzy brought me more than 200 customers, but in the next three months, my performance plummeted, and I had dried up my customers by 12% for three consecutive months! Although the price was heavy (the bonus of 13,600 yuan that month, it was actually a lot of money lost - selling stocks, giving away products, losing goods, losing mobile phones, calling, etc.), we can finally straighten up and invite the directors of other teams to come over and give lectures, because our team awards are equal!
In fact, many times the award is just a means of enhancing the influence of the ideal, and the same is true for silver medals, and the same is true for diamonds. It's your responsibility to keep hiring, and what Meilu people want is the final result after success, isn't it? is like what Li Yunlong said in "Bright Sword": Die, and die on the way to charge!
