TOPIC:

I am having difficulty convincing people to try MMS products even though some are terminally ill.
I am sure many of you are having the same problems.

There are still many people that do not like to get their information just from a web site or like to be sent to a web site. If you go to a doctors office you don't see a list of web sites to visit but you do see a shelf full of pamphlets loaded with information.

I am proposing that we as a group make up a professional pamphlet to hand out to people. This will get people's attention right away and it is also something that they can take home. Even if they put it on the kitchen table someone will eventually get to reading it.

Word of mouth is not making this product seem real enough to people and it does sound far fetched when trying to quickly explain the product in a quick and short meeting.

If a solid group of people agree that the pamphlet idea is a good way to go then we could start putting ideas together as to what the pamphlet should state to be safe for all of us. I could get them made and then sell them at a price until I break even from the intitial cost of development, then they can be sold at cost plus shipping.
This is a not for profit venture and all web sites will point to Jim Humble's site only if that is what everyone agree upon.

Okay, lets get some feed back on this idea but I just feel that the way we doing things at this time is not convincing enough to get people on board.

I supose the pamphlet could be translated into different languges as well but for most of us english is best.

This is definitely an issue, Bill. It's also complicated by 2 things -

1. many people have been brought up in and now subscribe to the medical model - and won't look at anything else -

and 2. There's a tendency for most humans who don't understand something to not want to research it - to actively avoid researching it.

When you combine 1 and 2, you get a lot of resistance. How much of it education (say via pamphlet) will address, I don't know. My experience is that most people will not let go of #1 until it's almost too late - sad.

As an example, my mother died of liver cancer. She drank and smoke right up until her diagnosis - which was 3 weeks before her death. Only then did she decide to "do something" - (this was well before MMS, and I'm not so sure she would have even been willing to try, because her doctor didn't prescribe it.)

The purpose of the pamphlet is not to educate but to inform in a professional looking way. It is something tangable that they can take with them where at some point someone will read the pamphlet and then the word gets out.

I think you missed the point of the pamphlet Pam. Word of mouth in a time limited meeting is not enough to convince anyone of this product. I have talked with busy people that don't have enough time to sit with me to learn more. I have spoken to people in passing that I will never see again. If we had a pamphlet we could hand it out knowing that we have done all we can do at that moment in time.

You know what is like to think back and say to yourself OH darn it, I forgot to tell them about this or that -- whatever it is.

Handing out pamphlets is a proven system that works. Like I said, someone somewhere will read it if not the target person then someone else.

Word of mouth can be lost & most of what you say is not absorbed and is forgotten.

I heard from Pam now I await others to comment. I don't want a debate with an individual, I just want a group feedback.

I could be wrong of course but, I have a feeling that the day MMS goes out on pamphlets, the AUTHORITIES/CONTROLLERS that make our daily lives miserable, will
feel even more threatened and will attack MMS in a way that we haven't seen yet.
Are we ready for that fight right now?

LOL, I'm not going to debate the topic, but why do you always try to shut off ideas and communication?

What If I had exactly what you're talking about - an "ah-ha" moment where I could contribute something useful to your idea? But no, you've already said, basically, "shut up, I've heard from you, you don't understand, I don't need to hear any more from you."

Pam, I heard your comment and now I would like to hear from others.

Thanks for your imput.

Gems, I wasn't speaking to you at all, so I'm not sure where your comments are coming from (other than my post followed yours in the order of posts). I was speaking directly to Bill, (although I didn't quote him, but the words were in reaction to his basically saying "you've spoken, now shut up" - and have a history of his cutting me (and others) off - which he continues to do). Somehow he has not realized that a forum is set up for communication and one person can't control who comments and who does not. I'm sure that if others have ideas, they'll be happy to share them, and they should.

All I was saying, originally, where Bill assumed I didn't understand or didn't agree with him - I don't disagree that brochures work. I've seen them work - lord knows - I have new car brochures from 10 years ago in my filing cabinets <G>. I do know that in any sales situation, you have to meet the objections of your purchaser - If you are unwilling to at least acknowledge them, you can't work around them.

Oh, and BTW, Gems, just went back and reread your comments, and I agree with them totally <G>.

Back to the question of a pamphlet, your kidding right!

the attached is a condensed book version but gets to the point with enough story to be convincing and has been around for a while.............
just print pages, i prefer a memory stick and can include enough information on one to get anyone excited when they decide to improve the quality of their life

with computers someone should make a little effort to save their life, imo
I just include links in e-mails
and on many topics i already sorted out the best videos on u tube

and yes most people don't seem to know how to help themselves so testimonials are important!
