<a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/752" target="_blank">Wendy, thank you for your reply.</a>
<h4>If you were my client I would tell you just made a three year commitment to GNFCC Pro-Alliance.</h4>
Why three years?&nbsp;
<h4>For me, for PowerCore, this could be the biggest reason to say "not now". The money is made on the shoulders. If the meeting is the head, the shoulders, left and right, before and after the meeting, are where the money happens.</h4>
Food for thought. Thanks.

<h3>LOTS of data on this.</h3>
Here's our graph of 160 people who joined after we started <a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/322" target="_blank">We Did Business slips</a> (the Member who makes the bank deposit turns this in).
18 months - each person's first month in column 1, each person's third month in column 3.&nbsp; Note the jump in Month 4 - there's a reason for that. Note the jump in Month 18 - and EVERY Member will tell you it gets better from there. (That's a good thing to talk to <a href="https://powercore.net/members/donna-chunglo" target="_blank">Donna</a> about.)
<h3>Here's another bit of info:&nbsp;</h3>
<h4><a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/647" target="_blank">Humans have six levels of relationship with each other:</a></h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/552" target="_blank">Graze&nbsp;</a>= meet, you give them your card, they put it in their upper left desk drawer, where it lives, in the dark, making no money, and exuding guilt. They Don't Remember you: no business for you.</li>
<li><a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/553" target="_blank">Grin&nbsp;</a>= remember meeting, but don't remember your name. You get no business from them because . . . they don't remember your name! (This is the reason, at a large networking event, to PRINT, as large as possible, only your FIRST NAME on the "Hello, My Name Is" badge, and wear it high on your right shoulder. Easy to see across the room, easy for them to sneak a peek&nbsp;at your name when shaking hands.)</li>
<li><a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/554" target="_blank">Greet&nbsp;</a>= remember meeting you, remember your name, don't know much else about you. (Tend to send people who ask about you away --&gt; to someone else. There is a cost to being "over networked", and this is it. Move yourself out of this ring as quickly as possible. This is why the shoulders of the meeting matter.)</li>
<li>Generator&nbsp;= responds to a request for your business with endorsement and action.&nbsp;This is where the money starts!</li>
<li><a href="https://powercore.net/account/knowledge-base/posts/325" target="_blank">GateOpener&nbsp;</a>= doesn't wait for a request, inserts you into a situation where you could bring value. This is key to a referral marketing plan. (Ask Donna about this, and Best Client)</li>
<li>Guardian&nbsp;= cares enough about you to risk the relationship by telling you things you need to know. (In our lives we have 1 to 5 people at this level, rarely more than one at a time, often with years between.)&nbsp; {This morning I got this email autoresponder: I am out of the office on business until Tuesday August 18. If they were at the Guardian level on my bullseye, I would have called and told them that the last time August 18 was a Tuesday was in 2020, and the next time is in 2026. But, they aren't, so, I didn't.}</li>
</ul>
<h4>Knowing this, I'll bet you can extrapolate that there are things to do, and number of times you have to meet someone before you move forward on their bullseye.</h4>
It takes five +/- two contacts to move to the next level (The fastest way to move from Graze&nbsp;to&nbsp;Grin&nbsp;is by finding out what you have in common. <a href="https://powercore.net/members/jennifer-flores" target="_blank">Jennifer Flores</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://powercore.net/members/howard-silvermintz" target="_blank">Howard Silvermintz</a>&nbsp;learned at coffee that Howard's wife Sharon went to grade school with Jennifer.) (The fasted way to get to&nbsp;Greet&nbsp;is with food - coffee/lunch) 
From the Grin level forward, humans can mentally hold 1,500 people. You may be familiar with Dunbar's number: 150 (+/- 20)
<ul>
<li>That's how many we can hold at one time.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The optimal number for GateOpener is 60,&nbsp;which means </li>
<li>I want 90 people in my Generator level. (150 - 60 = 90)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Now, timing: (This is 2017 research from Northwestern)</h4>
<ul>
<li>From Grin to Greet takes 94 hours - only 74% of the population&nbsp;will do this.</li>
<li>From Greet to Generator takes an additional 164 hours - only 34% of the people at Greet will make this effort.</li>
<li>From Generator to GateOpener takes an additional 219 hours.</li>
</ul>
<h4>The time for payoff, in any association, is three years. </h4>
When you join, add every event to your calendar, and be there.&nbsp; If you die, go to the event first, then go to your funeral. 
Eager for your next question, 
W!

Wendy and I were both early to get coffee last Friday, but we didn't have time to get to take a photo that morning or even get coffee. We got straight to getting to know each other's business and how to make my upcoming 7-minute presentation as informative as possible.&nbsp;
I learned the hard truth that my profession as an insurance salesman doesn't mean my customers are simply everybody. We came up with tangible examples of what a good referral for me looks like and pointed me towards making dozens more on my own.&nbsp;
I'm grateful to have met with Wendy for my first PowerBrew and I'm eager to keep growing as a good contributor to the Members of PowerCore.&nbsp;

PowerReaders - the conversation was about pricing.

Donna and Chris like to travel - and if Chris doesn't wanna, Donna goes alone! I am so impressed by this, because I would never.
On an alone trip to Paris Donna took a hat making class. On every cruise they choose the bizarre excursions. And her system for using credit card points is just genius.
We had such a good time, and liked the restaurant so much, we're going back with our husbands.
