The parrot lacked only one thing

A woman went to a pet store and purchased a parrot to keep her company.  She took her new pet home but returned the next day to report, “That parrot hasn’t said a word yet!”

“Does it have a mirror?” asked the storekeeper.  “parrots like to be able to look at themselves in the mirror.”  So she bought the mirror and returned home.

The next day she was back, announcing that the bird still wasn’t speaking.

“What about a ladder?” the storekeeper said.  “Parrots enjoy walking up and down a ladder.”  So she bought a ladder and returned home.

Sure enough, the next day she was back with the same story – still no talk.

“Does the parrot have a swing?  Birds enjoy relaxing on a swing.”  She bought the swing and went home.

The next day she returned to the store to announce the bird had died.

“I’m terribly sorry to hear that,” said the storekeeper.  “Did the bird ever say anything before it died?”

“Yes,” the lady replied.  “It said, ‘Don’t they sell any food down there?’

Aren’t we just like that?  We buy and use all the tools and toys but we forget the fundamentals of our network marketing business?

The parrot and our businesses die because they lack one thing.

Is the parrot’s case – it was food.

In MLM – it’s sales.
