3. Skeptical Sally
“I just don’t see it. Every time I
come to these things I just stand
here with my cheap glass of wine
trying not to look like a stalker. I
really don’t see how these events
will help my business, and I don’t
get how they are worth my time”

~ “Networking really does seem
like a good idea, and I see how it
works for Ned, but he’s so
outgoing and everyone likes him. I
just hope that tonight someone
will ask me about what I do”

5. Upchucking Ursula
~ “Oh nice to meet you John. I
have the best system for your
business. It will work perfectly
for you. I can increase your
income and your clients will
love you. Those people that
work with me LOVE me. And
what is it that you do again”

6. Convincing Carl
~ “Oh no no, it works like this”
~“That’s not an issue, I can
solve that”
~“You know I’ve heard people
say that but it’s really not like
that at all. Here let me show
you – it won’t take but a
moment”

“Hi Susie, it’s so great to see
you again, how are things going?
Oh shoot, I’ll be right back I see
Carl and I have to touch base
with him before I forget. Be
right back, I promise. By the
way LOVE what you are doing
and that suit is to die for”.
