Making Good Money Selling Sign Pens

Recently I got a text message from a mother who was worried sick about her cervical diagnosis: she had a lump in there somewhere. She needed an ultrasound to see what it was about. She said she was so worried for her only daughter who she might leave behind if something bad happened to her. She's just a kid, the mom added.

This mom asked for my prayers, which I assured her was easy for me to do. But prayers alone are sometimes not enough. Sometimes God uses such situations because He wants us to search harder and explore more possibilities so we can discover things He had already made available for us, and once discovered, God wants us to share and announce it to all and sundry. God is a good Provider and He's been providing all our needs. The problem is, we spend more time in useless things or wrong mindsets than discovering and using His provisions.

So, I and my wife talked to this mom more and we discovered that she's now making at least P1,400 a day selling sign pens here and there. It's a special kind of sign pen with some special gimmicks, and she's been marketing it of her own initiative since she came home from working abroad. She doesn't want to go back working abroad and being away from her only child. Good and wise decision!

But the problem was her genital disease. I told her God loved her and she shouldn't worry.

After a while, the ultrasound result came and it was benign. I said God answered our prayers! But she was still worried nonetheless. She thought about her daughter's future.

Yeah, she may be earning P1,400 a day now, but what about when she grows too old for selling pens? I appreciated and marveled at how she could start a good business with ordinary pens and established it so that today she has several distributors and has managed to put up a small company. All she has to do is do the daily rounds of supplying the pens to stores and later collecting the profits. She gets the pens at a discount somewhere in Divisoria.

But going back to the question--what if she grows too old to do the business, which surely will happen soon? So we introduced to her the networking business. Yeah, she's heard about it, but she never thought of actually doing it. So we explained how it worked. My wife told her, her great skill in direct selling is a big asset here. It will work powerfully for her network marketing. She loved the idea and will soon be joining us in one networking business. She already has wide connections, besides having the talent to talk and persuade people.

In network marketing, it pays to be friendly and a bit persuasive. You don't have to go all-out for befriending everyone; just be friendly and kind and patient to all, without favoritism. And with selling, don't hardsell. Just sell. Just present the business and that's it. Be truthful and sincere. It'll help to look a bit enthusiastic about the product and business. But never tell a lie or exaggerate. Righteousness in business is a powerful tool for a good and lasting network marketing business.
