September’s Leaders
The Prime Selling Season Kicks into High Gear!

Well, it’s over!

Historically, the two summer months of July and August are the slowest months for sales of virtually ANYTHING, online OR offline. Why? People are more focused on simply having fun. They are more interested in vacations, volleyball, cookouts, and keeping the kids occupied than they are in any new business opportunities. Let’s face it – when the weather is pleasant and the sun is shining, it can be REAL difficult to stay focused on the ol’ keyboard and monitor – there are just too many fun things to do!

I’m happy to say, however, that the "summer doldrums" had a NEGLIGIBLE effect on Big Dog sales – you folks did VERY well August!  Kudos to ALL of you!

But now…NOW is the time to really "kick it into high gear!" Our prime market is that 35 year old with a decent job (but not a GREAT job!), a spouse, 2.3 kids, a cat and a mortgage. The kids are back in school, vacations are over, and now he or she is beginning to become focused once more on…

…MAKIN’ MONEY!

Just as July and August (ESPECIALLY August) are usually slow months, the months of September, October and November are one of the two major periods of the year for people looking to better their lives financially.

"Now, RIGHT now, fellow Dogs, is the time –YOUR time – to become tightly focused on business and gear up to have a terrific fall season."

And I’m proud to say that a lot of you are ALREADY startin’ to rock & roll!  I’m especially proud of the number of brand new Big Dogs who are already starting to make their mark on the organization…

With 57 sales for the first 15 days of September, Brian "The Sheriff" Garvin is showing that you just can’t keep an old dog down!

Ah, but second place for the month so far belongs to a brand new Big Dog…

(Encyclopedia definition)  "dingo – A carnivorous, wild dog of Australia. A nocturnal pack hunter, it can be extremely aggressive."

True to his nickname, "thedingo," brand new Big Dog Tony Schneider takes the number two spot with 24 sales for the first two weeks of the month. Welcome aboard, Tony!

With 23 sales, one of our previous contest winners Alan Yap holds the number three position, while another one of our contest winners, Ben "Microclick" Chapi is in fourth place with 13 sales.

Anne Ahira, ANOTHER brand new Big Dog, shares the number five spot with Mark James, both of whom have an even dozen sales for the month so far.

Sixth place is also shared by two of our "old dogs," "Hucleberry" Finn and "Mobey" Dick Coulson, each with 11 sales.

Seventh place is shared by THREE Big Dogs – each with 10 sales. Congrats to old hands Duane Knox and Connie Allen (two folks who are almost ALWAYS at the head of the pack!) and newbie Denise "Lala's Lady" Bazan.

Seasoned Big Dog Rene Knops and ANOTHER newbie, Mario Carini, both pumping out 9 sales for the month, are holding on to the number eight position, while yet ANOTHER "new dog," Debbie Baxter shares ninth place with my ol’ pal Jeff "Mr Consistency" Meisner, with 8 sales.

Finally, in tenth place, are Tom "The Admiral" Bell and newbie (yes, ANOTHER one!!!) Stan Golob with 7 sales each!  Well done guys!

I want to take just a moment to give these newbies – Stan Golob, Deb Baxter, Mario Carini, Denise Bazan, Anne Ahira, and "The Dingo" – a SPECIAL virtual slap on the back! Why? Well, I think it shows the real POWER of the Big Dogs program – unlike so many so-called "opportunites" on the Internet, in which only the first few people in have any chance of being successful – with the Big Dogs, IT PLAIN "DON’T" MATTER WHEN YOU JOIN THE TEAM – everyone with drive and determination can achieve greatness!!!  Everyone expects the number one or two guy into a program to do well.  But these new Big Dogs of ours are somewhere around the nine or ten THOUSANDTH people into the Big Dogs program!!!

Well, friends and fellow dogs, the selling season is upon us! Go out there and make us PROUD!
