A story

I grew up with a great, I mean really great, salesman as a father. I inherited his outward personality, willingness to talk to anyone and always thought that would take me into a sales career. Well, I tried it in the printing field and quickly decided it wasn't for me.

Fast forward to now, and here I am in sales again. But this time, I don't have to sell anything. I offer services that work, that others love and tell friends about. It's just more of a putting information out there and seeing who is looking for what you offer.

So the ironic thing is that I still feel like I'm selling when I talk to friends about what I do. On one hand, I truely whole heartedly believe in what I do and think every woman I meet can benefit from StrollerFit, restore the core or moms in motion...or all three. Still, it's that akward spot where you want to tell your friends but you don't want to be the one always pushing your service either. Ya know?

It just so happens a good friend of mine had a baby nearly 2 years ago now. Along with our shower gift I gave her a gift certificate for StrollerFit. Not wanting to be pushy, but wanting her to try it if she was interested. Turns out it wasn't a good fit for her schedule,life and all that.

However, she did join Moms in Motion this year after helping me set up a demo class for her moms group. I was tickled pink to have a friend join, and excited to be part of helping her reach her goals. When I checked email this morning, there was a notice that my friend had posted on my facebook page. It's nearly impossible to say how happy, excited, proud and thrilled the service I offer is working for her!!! YA HOOOOOO! It's so wonderful to hear the good news and I'm so happy she's sharing with everyone. =)

Here's the post:
"I just did something I've NEVER done before EVER!! I ran a mile without stopping to walk. Now I know that sounds silly to most people, but for me it's a BIG deal!! And I wanted to say thank you to you........without MIM and YOU I would have never had the motivation to run!! THANKS for helping me get ME back and do something for myself!" - Tiffany Pappas
