<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!

Jennifer Flores walked us through how to use visible value to make our introductions bright and clear.&nbsp; I haven't had the opportunity to make a referral to Dr. Dana Kind in the 10 months I've been a member, but I know it will happen. When it does, I'll be able to confidently mention his teadfastness (he contributes to our success as Visitor Coordinator) and what I've learned about the value of chiropractic care from him. I feel good knowing that if there's someone who wants an alternative to surgery, or who want a carer with deep knowledge on body mechanics and anatomy, I'll be able to introduce them to Dr. D and he'll be proactive and responsive!
Sidenote: He hit the 800 meeting mark this week. That's proof of his commitment too.&nbsp;

Show me a great company and I'll show you satisfied customers and employees who are well taken care of. At the Member Appreciation event at iThink Financial in Roswell, GA today, I observed both. Fellow PowerCore member, Shawn McCabe, and her team exemplified the act of taking care of their customers during the event. Members were treated to their normal financial transactions along with a side of Chick-fil-A sandwiches, refreshments, and community engagement. I was pleaseantly surprised by their outreach to nearby businesses to invite them to be involved in the event. Mighty things can come in small packages and I believe that I witnessed that today.

East Cobb Members were proud to volunteer with the YMCA at its North Cobb location and spend time giving back to the people and organizations that make our local community strong.
Taking a step back from day-to-day work to serve others is important to our Team. &nbsp;It is an honor to give back whenever possible and support the community we are fortunate to serve.
We appreciate the YMCA and its continued work to create opportunities, strengthen families, and bring neighbors together throughout the North Cobb and East Cobb area.

Last weekend, a bunch of our team went to Thele Moore's charity brunch where she raised funds for KidsDoc on Wheels, a mobile clinic that helps uninsured kids get the essential healthcare services they need. We ate great food, drank mimosas, and helped fund the work of an amazing charitable organization. Thanks for all you do, Thele.&nbsp;

Thele Does Fundraising Right!

PowerCore member Clarence Bolden and his wife Margarette didn’t just need a realtor — they needed someone who could handle the big picture. Jackie Campbell delivered.
When Clarence and Margarette were weighing the decision to sell their land and build a new home, Jackie organized a meeting with their banker, mortgage broker, and contractor — all in one room — before they could second-guess a thing. That’s not service, that’s strategy.
And it doesn’t stop there. Jackie is a past President of the Coweta Realtors Association, operates at the state level, and even helped the town of Turin secure land for a new community park. She’s not just selling homes — she’s invested in the community around them.

A Strobe Light flashes in rhythm — each burst timed to the beat. Referrals work the same way: when timing and technique align the connection looks effortless and you shine. 
 
 
Count three to your left. Imagine you’re speaking with your client — what topic from your business has you focused and engaged?
 
 
Now add two flashes:
 
<ul>
<li>The first is the question you’d ask to see if your client wants an introduction to the Member three to your left.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The second flash is the method you’ll use to make the connection when they say yes. </li>
</ul>
