I never wanted to do an episode like this but times have changed and they may never return to normal.
The biggest challenge white-collar small business owners and salespeople selling products and services at $1,000 and higher IS how to close a sale.
White-collar small business owners should consider methods to take charge of their practices.
This is the promo upload.
Make sure you return to hear to the episodeMany people, unfortunately Black America, are siding with looters, rioters and police shooting victims. Luke 14:26-“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, AND yes, and even his own life he cannot be My disciple.
Is it a good idea to worship, idolize looters, rioters and police shooting victims above Christ?
This is definitely a topic for Christians. When your hear "business owner", think "Christian". Owning a business is so similar to building the church. Most pastors and ministers push against this philosophy. This is why, perhaps, membership is falling in the church. Regardless of your status, to improve yourself, you must discover who you really are. Then, you can make changes.
All white-collar small business owners can develop productive behaviors, habits, actions and outcomes for success.
Consumers, business owners, marketers and even some consultants have challenges understanding how marketing and consulting differ.
This is an episode I found in my archives from the year 2015, one year after I started my consulting firm.
Covid-19 is presenting great opportunities for people to transition to sales jobs. There are hundreds of thousands of sales positions open across the U.S.
Regardless of your business or project, saying hello and introducing yourself is the most powerful tool you have. In fact, much of your business or project success is dependent up you saying hello and introducing yourself to people in public or on the phone.
I cover several significant points in this episode that people may have never heard before.
Any data with membership growth being stagnant at best and trending downward points to Christians lack of desire to meet new people. Backing up at bit, it’s either Christian lack of desire or Christian unwillingness.
Over the last 30 days, I only had two churches express interest in learning how to make new friends. I’m not going to put any emotion behind this statistic. As a business consultant, I see parallel results with small business owners. Small business owners would rather maintain the status quo of average performance than take actions to grow their businesses.
If you’re listening to the episode or watching the mp4 video, your first thought might be the training cost is so high, no church can afford the training. The cost as the reason for not wanting to offer meeting and inviting training to members was unsubstantiated. Meaning, I actually went out on a limb to offer a reduced training session at no cost, but the congregation still turned down the offer. I really cannot offer the training for free but I just wanted to see what the response would be.

What an honor and a pleasure to connect with another Brother-in-Christ in Eastern India. Brother Sirla shared his strong faith and love for God while living in an area where other religions are dominant.
I hope all Church of Christ ministers and members reach out to Brother Sirla to keep him and his congregation encouraged.

This podcast episode will be a short Rick Nappier bio, how I became a Christian and what people interested in church growth can expect in the Meeting and Inviting System. This podcast episode will be attached to the Meeting and Inviting confidential questionnaire.
Let us pray.
Oh righteous and heavenly Father, I ask of you to give me the words to communicate, in the manner you see fit, to help Men you have given the responsibility to lead Christians the right way, grow their congregations. This world is getting more cruel and wicked as the sun rises and sets. But Christians know that you, Oh Mighty God, You and Your Word are the final arbiters of how things will be. I’m asking for prayers for the Ministers, deacons, elders who need to find solutions to get your Son’s message out to more people.
In name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit…Amen.

The main thing to know about 321 Meeting and Inviting is what is preached on Sunday’s has very little to do with Meeting and Inviting people to be your guests. What my last sentence means is successful Meeting and Inviting interactions with people in public are completely separate from beginning the process to become Christians. Said another way, becoming a Christian has learning and maturity curves.

After working with many small business owners as consultant, I discovered there is so much crossover between growth needed by business owners and church leadership.

The main thing to know about 321 Meeting and Inviting is what is preached on Sunday’s has very little to do with Meeting and Inviting people to be your guests.
