So you can Learn The Personality Colors

Live Lead Calls - On these calls we call leads, live and interactive. After each call we discuss what personality types the people we spoke to are to help one another have a better understanding of how to communicate with the different personality types

do. Money is power & control to them. They can see
making 10K because they already make more and will
ask you to show them the real money. Very task
oriented. Very competitive. Always eat the same thing.
Buy brand name, fancy cars, etc,. Drive fast. Their
office will have a big desk they sit behind with a small
chair for guests. There will be awards & trophies etc,
no family pictures.

Weaknesses: Big egos, domineering, not teachable,

Marketing because they think it’s sales work.
Dislikes: Don’t like losing control, don’t like indecision
or small talk (non business talk), can’t imagine why
anyone would cry especially in public. Hate weakness.

How to Mentor: They must understand they are not in
a sales position. Don’t try to teach them, don’t hold
them back. Give them the schedules and details and
leave them alone. Tell them they must do tasks that
people will duplicate otherwise they will make sales but
not build teams that refer sales. Help them see the big
picture of “this sort of business”, duplication.

TIP: Stay out of their way. Tell them how successful
(97% success rate) your scripts and other procedures
are, then give them the option to use your methods or
not—and they will do the smart thing and use your
tools. They must have a statistic of why the methods
are the best, otherwise they will reinvent the wheel.

a sale without time to research and plan.
How to Mentor: Send to websites & Resource Center for a few days &
they will sell themselves. Have them listen to ALL the calls. Use the 4

anyone else making 10K. Once in--real them in if they go overboard
creating spreadsheets or reinventing the wheel & teach them to follow the
duplicable system in place.
Give them information overload – details that most
people would find boring and unnecessary. Point out the Mindset &
Coaching training to help their poor self talk, they must read What to Say
When You Talk to Yourself & Think & Grow Rich. Tell them words like
“can’t, trying, maybe” are swear words.

TIP: They don’t like pushy people. They view being late as being
incompetent. They are not stalling you when they don’t come in right
away--they must gather facts/figures-so don’t blow them off. Once they
sell themselves, they will never quit. They are being helpful when
reporting all the kinks in your system or typos on your website.

Here is a letter from Bruce to Michael and Linda

When someone asks You "WHY" does Michael and Linda Dlouhy do Mentoring For Free,,,,justsend them this e-mail from Bruce Johnson......Thank You Bruce for this Heart Felt E-Mail....~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Michael,

I want you to know my opinion of what you have done.
You have done something that many people have probably dreamed would be but never created it but you took the bull by the horns and paid the price and did it.
You are an amazing person. I am so very thankful to have found out about Mentoring For Free.
The sad part is I Down Loaded the book in '05. I am thankful that Judi Sheehan got me at the right time and I joined.

It took me a while to trust anything because I had gotten to a place where I didn't believe anybody anymore. It took me a while to believewhat Judi was doing and what you were saying.That is how many lies I had heard. It was hardto believe the truth and genuineness of someone.

Thank you Thank you Michael!I believe in you and what you say. Bruce Johnson
