Well, at the end of last week, the training had not been set-up, nor had the account been funded. So, in order to get the items addressed, I needed to take some assertive action. My first step was to send the above picture to Greg on FaceBook with the following message: Mr. Secker. I am Arnold, Bill's new assertive alter-ego. I was told you and he had an agreement last week regarding setting up training and a funded account. I was also told that you have not followed through on that agreement as of yet. I am here with a friendly reminder. But if I have to "I'll Be Back..." I like to use humor where possible. I thought it might be a subtle, effective and memorable way to get some action. Well, I saw that Greg had viewed the message, but I did not hear from him. I knew his assistant Bridgette was out of town and was due back this Monday. So, I figured I would wait and he would probably have her address this on her return.
At close of business on Monday, I checked and still nothing had been set-up. On Tuesday morning I checked again and still nothing. Being afternoon in the UK, I knew that there was ample time to begin addressing the items, so I decided to contact Greg and Bridgette and ask for a status. I sent the following email.
Hello Greg & Bridgette!
A week has passed, so I am checking in to see if I can get a status on the training and account set-up per my agreement with Greg last week as referenced in my email below. Can I please get an update? Is there anything you need from me? If so, please let me know. Thank you and have a great day!
Bill
Well, it worked because on Wednesday I as copied on an email from Bridgette to have the account set up as well as the training. As of this morning, the training sessions have been set-up and the account is in process. So, going forward I will be assertive, but handle it in a tactful manner. This was way I ca get things done and not ruffle too many feathers.
So, I am ready to start as #1 of the 50 in the Multi Millionaire Challenge. What a better fit for the Making of a Millionaire Project. I am going to set-up a meeting with Greg to layout the 2 year plan.
"Here's to your success!"
Bill
