I've Switched Before ...If you haven't heard it yet, you soon will. The person you've just asked to become your customer tells you that they switched before and it ended up costing them more money! Or they know someone that it happened to. No way are they going down that road! We could let the conversation die right there or we could use a little "Ambit Aikido" and potentially convert a "no" into a "YES!"
Converting NO into YES!Building on the ideas in "I've Switched Before ..." (found above), this article talks about the principles behind the "ancient art" of Ambit Aikido. With Ambit, getting a "no" is often the result of either a previous bad experience with another company or opportunity or simply a matter of ignorance. Knowing how to work with that response in a way that both increases your chances of success and maintaining the relationship you have with the person you're introducing can be powerful.
What does NO really mean?People say "no" for many different reasons. Sometimes it's reflexive, a defense mechanism. Sometimes it really means no. But most often, no means "not right now."

How to Create Momentum in Any Organization -
Chris Chambless, Ambit Energy CMO
Momentum, or The Big Mo as it is often called, is a powerful thing. It can create massive growth, incredible sales and a tremendous lift in your recruiting. But how do you create it? Most of the recent books on the subject of momentum treat it as an elusive, almost mythical creature that only a few are privileged to see. Many in our industry now regard it as the exclusive domain of startups and new ventures. But momentum is neither exotic nor proprietary to the next new direct selling venture. Momentum is simply the compound effect of a plan executed over a period of time, and nothing more. It can be achieved by any organization, but it must be created intentionally.

"The findings from this survey were disturbing, given that people will increasingly need to rely on their personal savings to make ends meet in retirement," said Matthew Drinkwater, associate managing director at LIMRA's retirement research division."
