In order to support my dream in life, (teaching The Business of Marriage) in the summer sell security systems door to door. I am one of those guys who knocks on your door to see if you would like a free security system to protect your home from a possible unwanted intruder, or so you can have help at the touch of a button whenever needed. It is one of the toughest jobs I have ever done.
The daily rejection from people is hard, probably more so because I really believe in the product and think every home should have one. The hardest part was understanding the variety of excuses people use in order not to partake of the offer. Some of the most popular were: “We’re fine for now. I can’t afford it. We haven’t had a problem yet, so we’ll wait until we do need it.”
As a salesman I know these objections were simply knee jerk reactions from people trying to get me off their doorstep. As a father and husband, I truly did not understand how someone, especially a parent, would not want to protect their family from someone who might want to cause harm, take their possessions, or violate the privacy of their home. It just doesn’t make sense to me, when the ability to protect their family, property and themselves is right in front of them.
Right about now you might be thinking to yourself, “Why is he talking about selling alarm systems in a marriage blog? How does my turning away a sales guy at my door who is interrupting my dinner have anything to do with my marriage?”
I chose to use the example of my alarm sales experience because I find it fascinating that people I talk to about their marriage and invite to my events use the almost exact same reasons why not to attend as those who won’t listen to the information about the benefits of an alarm system. “We’re fine for now. I can’t afford it. We haven’t had a problem yet, so we’ll wait until we need it.” The last one is my favorite. The fact that you, as the individual husband or wife, don’t think there are any problems now and are willing to wait until they arise is mind boggling to me.
With the alarms, I would talk to people whose neighbors one street over had been broken into, had all their possessions taken, their privacy violated and their feeling of security stripped from them, to which the potential customer would respond, “Oh, that’s over there.” As if they were immune to the danger because of their location.
I would venture to guess there is not a single person reading this who doesn’t know of a close neighbor, whether it be in location or in familiarity, who have been robbed of a secure home through the violation of divorce, many of them being what I call “Surprise Divorces,” where one or both spouses are caught off guard by the sudden realization that their marriage has hit a rocky point. The spouses think, just like prior to a home invasion, it just kind of happened to them at random. The fact is, there was and is plenty they could have done to limit their chances of being a victim to this situation. There were most likely plenty of pre-warnings all around them about the potential dangers ahead. And, saddest of all, there was preventative help available to them. They just choose to take the stance of, “We’re fine for now. I can’t afford it. We haven’t had a problem yet, so we’ll wait until we need it.”
The fact that you actually read these blog posts are sign of your desire to be pro-active instead of retroactive and I appreciate it. Now, I would invite you to take the next step and come to my upcoming 3 day event on September 23-25 in Salt Lake City. Just like getting an alarm system doesn’t guarantee you won’t have a home invasion, this event will not guarantee you won’t have any more issues in your marriage. What it will guarantee is you will be more prepared should an issue arise. With an alarm, you will have taken the preemptive measures to detour a possible invasion of your home. After having come to this event, you will have increased your odds of not allowing the destructive forces of divorce and broken families into your home. Your since of security will be intact when it comes to your marriage.
Sign up now for this amazing event and start on your proactive path to secure your marriage from an emotional and potentially destructive invasion.
