"The challenge of any organization is to build a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another - because the question is not how well each person works, but how well they work as a TEAM!"
Incredible Start for the Month of June!
You "dogs" - you troops in the trenches - never cease to amaze me! I would LOVE to be able to just line ALL of you up and shake your hands individually!
Wanna know WHY I’m so excited!?
It seems that every time I think that things have leveled off and we’ve reached that point where we have a STABLE, level low of business coming in, you wonderful guys and gals go out there and set a NEW high-water mark! As you know May was a banner month (see the Big Dogs Bulletin for 06/06), with the Big Dogs organization setting, as usual NEW sales records.
It’s hard to believe, but June is starting out even BETTER! Talk about being at the right place at the right time, folks!
We ended the first week of May with 340 "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook sales. That’s an average of 48.6 sales per day.
By the end of the first week of June, however, you Big dogs had scored 667 sales – almost DOUBLE the first week’s production for last month! That’s an average of 95.3 sales per DAY! Amazing!
It wasn’t all that long ago that I was announcing in the Bulletin that we had finally had one day that we hit 100 sales. THEN, I thought that was an incredible achievement. NOW? Well, let’s put it this way – during the first seven days of June we had THREE 100+ sales days!
A hearty Big Dogs congratulations to…..
Brian – "All the Right Moves" – Garvin with his usual, BORINGLY consistent, first place finish with a whopping 55 sales during the first week of June!
Leslie Gibbon and Gary Shawkey shared well-deserved second place honors with a very sweet 31 sales each. Following close behind, with 30 sales apiece, were Ian Herculson and my old friend from FFANET days, Rene Knops.
Tim Finn scored 16 sales, Kim Bollman scored 14, and Angela Davies (who two weeks ago set a NEW daily record with 33 sales) nailed 13. GRRRREAT job, folks!
Duane Knox, Francis Foo, and Robert Longo all got a dozen sales for the week. Following on the coattails of Duane, Fran, and Bob were Connie Allen, Earl Mason, and Jeff Meisner (someday, Jeff, maybe things’ll slow down a little and we can start havin’ our daily chats again…), each of whom popped 11 sales for the week. Well done, dogs!
Cynthia Howard scored a cool 9 sales, and – with eight sales each for the first week of June – were Deepak Pathak, Dave Gillis, Rodin (M’man) van der Laan, and Gary ("Missing In Action") Sargeant.
A Big Dog growl to each and every one of ya!!! All of you folks are averaging at least one ebook sale per day – that’s 30 per month. Now, our current ebook-sale-to-Alpha-Dog conversion rate is WELL-over 16%, meaning that if you sell 30 ebooks a month, you will average approximately 5 Alpha Dogs (people who join all or most of the CHIP programs) added to your downline every 30 days.
(Feel like playin’ with figures for an hour or so? Calculate how much residual income these folks will be making in just six months if they continue to do this same job, and they assist their downline people in doing the same thing. It’s a residual monthly income of well into the five figures – PER MONTH!!!)
And I want to point out a very, VERY important point to everyone. Do you notice how many MORE names are appearing on our leaders chart? A month ago we had a dozen alpha dogs averaging 30 sales per month. THIS month (and the month is just starting!) we have nearly DOUBLE that number. This makes me very happy, friends, because it just points out that EVERYONE has a chance to make money with the Big Dogs program – NOT just a few "early arrivals" who came in at the beginning.
Our Honorable Mention slate – Big Dogs who had at least four or more sales the first week include:
Art (Mr Consistency) Hagar
Roger Butler
Robert Boyes
Lisa Adkins
Greg Davis
Chris Killian
Michael Bowman
Alfred van der Vlies
John Shirck
Derek Rogers
Kraig Lage
Martin Lucas
Greg Grover
Doug Fletcher
Mike Lofrano
Jeanette ("Puffball") Blake
Tim Reed
Hilda Johnson-Slaton
Melissa Glenney
Scott Clayson
Watch out for these folks, fellow dogs! The month is still young, and you are SURE to see some of these names at the top of the chart by the end of June!

Since this Bulletin is a little late, I’m also going to throw out some figures for the SECOND week of June. But before I do that it’s time for one of Stan’s long boring stories that he is so famous for…..
Back in ’97, I happened to be one of the principals in an offline marketing company. One day I read an article by Len Clements, a very well established, very famous marketing guru. The article dealt with why so many people fail in multi-level marketing. His article claimed that the reason the failure rate was so high was because over HALF of all people never made one, single sale!
I was amazed! And…I simply didn’t believe it! Oh, I knew of, of course, that some people are simply destined to never make it in business – I knew that a lot of people become representatives for a company, get their sales manual, and do nothing more than put it on a shelf – I knew that a lot of people put in 5 minutes a week and expect to make a million dollars in thirty days. But HALF!? I simply refused to believe that half of the people who declare that they want to be "entrepreneurs" NEVER MAKE A SINGLE SALE!
So despite my respect for Mr. Clements, I decided to do a statistical analysis of our OWN company’s sales figures for a period of five years. When my secretary handled me the results, I didn’t believe ‘em. I told her to do it again, because I just KNEW she had made an error somewhere. The second time, the results came back the same…..
60% had not made one, single sale!
Len Clements was RIGHT! Not only that, but our figures showed that an additional 20% had produced just ONE sale!
Now just what does all this have to do with the Big Dogs? ( I TOLD ya I’m famous for long, boring stories!)
In looking over the statistics for our Big Dogs what I find is that during a typical month, an incredible 82% of our Alpha Dogs have at least one sale! Think about that, friends. In the typical company only 40% of the people involved ever have one or more sales over a five year period. In the Big Dogs, however, more than DOUBLE that have one or more sales –just during the course of a single month!
This is nothing short of incredible, and I feel it really points out the strength, simplicity and POWER of our program!

Now as terrific as our first week of the month was, the second week is, unbelievably, shaping up to be even BETTER! (Hey, gang, it’s summer – don’t you know that business is supposed to slack off during the summer!?)
This week, so far, we are averaging 101.1 ebook sales per DAY!
Just a few weeks ago I was proclaiming the fact that we had set a new one day’s sales record at 129 ebook sales. That same day, we had a new Big Dog – Angela Davies – who set a record for 33 ebook sales in a 24 hour period. Well, guess what!? BOTH of those records have been broken!
On June 8 we set a brand NEW one day sales record at 132, and…
Mr. Gary Shawkey…the brains and guiding force behind ProMoneyMail, who I’m proud to say has joined the ranks of the Big Dogs, established a new one day record with a whopping…
40 ebook sales!Congratulations, Gary! Bon ton roulette!
