More DMSI Ideas from doing door-to-door sales:
So today I went back to some houses I've been at before to bring brochures and try to set apps.
I nearly got one. The woman was very receptive, invited me into her house, was asking a lot of questions, just perfect, definitely an ideal situation, one I thought I had in the bag.
But when I asked "When would be a good time for you and your husband?" She began backing out, made a million excuses, and try as I might, I couldn't salvage it. I had destroyed the entire interaction.
Why? Because I was asking for a commitment.
I think DMSI may be projecting this in some way.
I think back to when I went out with my HD on our second date and she was already bringing up me as her BF, saying things like "I have a lot of friends who have young guys as their BF's" and other such things.
IF (notice the word "IF") DMSI is projecting onto girls a sort of "soul mates or bust" (which I believe it is) then this will hurt our chances, EVEN with girls that may otherwise be into us. Why? Because it's too much, too soon.
Shannon may know how human beings work, but not many human beings do, and the unknown is always going to stir up fear.
Better to have people DISCOVER they click through taking the chance than have them KNOW they will.
Too much certainty can also take the fun out of things.
So yeah, that's my idea for today: Make DMSI more open. Allow the user and girls to just f*ck and find out if they work or not AFTER the fact.
I'm sure I lost a strong potential client today because of this, let's not make the same mistake with DMSI.
