Here is a small Dongfu success story. This is a great example of the kind of attitude you need to succeed. This is my email correspondence with a major sales trainer and success coach.
Aloha xxxxxxxx
This is Jack xxxxx, author of the funny dating book based on your system.
I had a short inspiring story I felt to share with you, if you have a minute. I'll start it like this:
Do you ever feel that the entire world is one giant door of opportunity, just waiting, open, for you to walk through. I'm sure you feel like this more often than not. In recent days I have felt this more than ever before, and it seems there is nothing I cannot easily achieve.
I moved back to Kauai recently. I have been pondering what sort of work I would like to do here, so I find myself wandering into retail stores. Now that I have thoroughly studied your system, it is ingrained in me to observe the sales staff. I watch who they greet and how. I watch to see how they handle objections. I watch through "Ron's Eye's" everything they do. When I see something that can be improved upon, I wait for the store to empty out and then I begin discussing sales techniques with the staff. I actually begin what I call a free training session right there in the store. I will even demonstrate some of your principals as new customers come in, and actually make sales for the staff, as if I work there. Often the salespeople are amazed and want to know more about the system.
So yesterday I went into several galleries, chatting up the staff, discussing sales, working with some customers. The last gallery I went into was very prestigious. They have $150,000 paintings. The Senior Art Consultant took an immediate interest in me. He started asking me what I do, and what kind of work I'm interested in. I said that I have experience working in art sales, but that I would really like to work as a sales trainer. I really enjoy working with people on that level. Without hesitation he offers me a job, wants me to start right away, practically insisting that I work there. I was thinking, how many people probably go in there, dressed very nicely, with their resume, that ultimately get filed away somewhere. I stroll in, dressed very casually, and have the job thrown in my lap.
So why did this happen? It was because of my training with your system. I used Ron Martin on him. And not intentionally. But because my brain has been rewired to approach every situation in life pro-actively, with the attitude that I am a valuable asset. I even commented to the Senior Consultant that I was not dressed for job hunting. He looked at me and said, "Look how old I am. I could tell immediately that you are qualified for the job. It's not the clothes that make the man." With that I took his card and left. This brings me to the point of the story.
I told him I'll have to think about it. It's a great job offer, but I'm not sold on working retail. I have done it and can do it, and will do it if necessary. But I feel more called to work with staff than customers. So my question to you is, do you have staff members who train people in your system. I know there are multitudes of shops here, and everywhere who could use the help. Especially in this time when the New York Times just predicted a decline in retail sales for the next year or more, with art galleries getting hit the hardest.
I would be interested in training retail stores with your system. I'm doing it now for fun, free of charge, and will continue to. But I could also see doing it on a larger level. Let me know if you are interested.
Sincerely
Jack xxxxxx
Aloha Jack,
I think we need to have a serious talk. Your attitude and described behavior here absolutely blows me away. Before going too far into what I have in mind, please answer a couple of questions for me.
1.) What caused you to move back to Kauai, and are to committed to staying there?
2.) What is your phone number?
3.) How has the book done?

Aloha Jack,
If I were to buy you a ticket, and pick you up at the airport, how soon would you be willing to come over to Oahu to discuss possibilities?
xxxxx
Aloha Jack,
As of this moment I am wide open on the 26th. Just tell me when you will be here, and I will be happy to pick you up and drop you off at the airport if need be. If not I will tell you where to meet me.
xxxxx
Aloha Jack,
I will ask xxxxx, my wife to book that flight for you, and then send you confirmation. I can meet you outside of the baggage claim door at 12:40. I will count on you to recognize me as it has been a while since I have seen you.
This will give us more than enough time to explore possibilities. If anything changes I will get in touch with you.
xxxxx
You see how easy. Present yourself right, have a great attitude, and let people understand you value, without telling them directly
Aloha xxxxxxxx
