One Week Marketing Action Plan 02/18/2010
An Internet Marketing plan is probably your number one key to either succeeding or failing with Internet Marketing. With no plan it will be very hard to succeed online. With a bad plan you will most certainly fail with your online business. But with a solid plan you will almost certainly succeed. Here is how to develop a winning Internet Marketing plan. The first thing you need to do to develop a winning Internet Marketing plan is to set goals. Goals should be the frame of your plan. So, you will first want to set a long term goal. This goal is what you want to reach in about a year or maybe even a few years. Then you need to think about smaller goals you'll need to reach in order to reach your ultimate goal. For example, your ultimate goal might be to make $10,000 a week. You might decide you want to accomplish that goal in three years. So, what other goals will you have to accomplish to get there? Well, you might decide you want to run a membership site. You want 1000 members to pay you $10 a month to belong to the membership site. That will make you your $10,000 a month. So, you will then set the smaller goal to have 200 members by the end of the first year and then 500 members by the end of the second year. Then you will set another goal such as getting your membership site up and running within a month. Once you have a smaller goal then you can actually sit down and write a plan. You will want to be as detailed as possible. The plan should include what you need to do each and every day. If possible, it should even include what you need to do each and every hour. This will help give you direction. When developing a winning Internet Marketing plan you can do it a couple weeks at a time, just one week at a time, or a few days at a time. But make sure you plan carefully and make sure you're willing to change your plans as you go too. If you decide you need to tweak something or even completely overhaul it then you certainly need do just that. One of the biggest mistakes people make when writing their Internet Marketing plan is that they don't include enough details. So make sure you are very detailed with your plans. Set-up exactly what you need to do each and every day and include all the steps you will need to take to get there. Sometimes it helps to make things clearer when you use “reverse engineering” in your process of achieving your goal. For example, I know I want to make $30,000 per month, so that means I have to generate $1,000 per day, $41.66 an hour, or .69 per minute every day, every hour and every minute. If my product sells for $500 then I need to sell at least two per day. If I write an article and submit it and I get 10 sales a week, then I know that I have to make sure I have at least six articles submitted driving the same traffic to my site to make those sales each week. With the example we used above with membership sites, you might need to set-up a couple social networking sites in support of your membership site. So, your plan for one day might be to set-up a Squidoo account and then a FaceBook account. Then you might write that you will set-up the Squidoo account in the morning and then go on to include the specifics for what you will create on each page of the Squidoo account. That's how to develop a winning Internet Marketing plan. In order to be successful with Internet Marketing, you certainly need a plan. You actually need a detailed plan that will directly lead you to online success. To do this make sure you follow the advice outlined above.

There are thousands upon thousands of different Network Marketing and MLM programs available to you across the internet, so getting started with an Network Marketing program can sometimes seem a bit daunting. However, when you know what you‘re looking for, you‘ll feel much more prepared to tackle this first major step. There simply isn‘t any easier way to earn money online – that is, as long as you know what you‘re doing. So you have either been checking into a Plan B already or maybe you have been approached by a friend or acquaintance (or even a complete stranger) about a “business opportunity” that you just need to hear about. You have been checking out the internet to see what is available and what are your options, but cannot seem to make sense of it all. You heard that Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki and Warren Buffet are claiming that Network Marketing or MLM is the industry to be a part of. But, you have also heard (probably from your family and friends) that Network Marketing or MLM is just a big scam or Pyramid Scheme. I am here to tell you that it is an industry that continues to grow at a rapid rate and is quite lucrative. Let me at least tell you what Network Marketing or MLM is not. 1. It is NOT an INVESTMENT PROGRAM! Just because you bought a business opportunity, it will forever be a business opportunity and not a business if you sit and do nothing. Just because you join doesn’t mean you will necessarily earn. The money doesn’t automatically grow because you become a distributor, but because of your due diligence and work ethics it has great potential. 2. It is NOT a GET RICH QUICK SCHEME! Those who make it big in Network Marketing or MLM within a short period of time are the exception and not the rule. Do you have what they have? (The experience, contacts, paid the price, determination and persistence.) Everyone who has made it had all paid the price. Remember, everyone starts somewhere and they just started way ahead of you. Consistency is the key to being a Network Marketer. 3. It is NOT totally a SALES RECRUITMENT PROGRAM. Some like to sell. Some are salespersons, being good in sales will not make you succeed in Network Marketing or MLM. 4. It is NOT MUSICAL CHAIRS. It is never about whom gets there first, sponsor a few people then sit down and watch the group build itself while the latecomers miss out on the opportunity forever. Remember that if the downline works harder, they will eventually earn more than their uplines. So as the upline, you will need to stay in the game and build and help others build as well. 5. It is not a 9-5 JOB. In a 9-5 job, sometimes people get away without doing any work and they still receive their salary. But it is very obvious in Network Marketing that what you give is what you get. In fact, Network Marketing has been touted as the “fairest” of riches, since those that work the program reap the most benefits. So if your downline is working harder and building faster, then their financial success may be growing quicker than yours. Unlike in Corporate America, where you will never see the downline (say the janitor) making more than the upline (the President). Yes, it is true that having a home based Network Marketing business is a wonderful way to make a living…No boss, no inventory, and no employees may take a lot of the stress off of you, but that you must treat your home business as a business and not a hobby. Consistent persistence is the key to your success. To learn more you can check out the most thorough explanation of Network Marketing and MLM I have seen at Go Lazy Networker.

 Happy New Year. I was going to write a bit of a lengthy New Year Resolution type of post, but then I had a vision of those all to lengthy and graphic holiday "catch everyone up medical Christmas" letters we get. So I thought I would focus on one particular thing that I want to do better at and that is being consistent. Here is my thought... No matter what kind of business you are in or even in your every day life, the name of the game is.....consistency. You must know what you stand for, stand for it and act in the right manner from now until the day that you reach your objective. Do you have a brick and mortar business or do own a home based business? Either one, at any given moment, will undoubtedly bring you some trying and stressful times. Clients are not happy, prospects are not returning your calls and your day is just not going as planned. The truth is that, when times are tough and you receive a phone call from an angry prospect or client, it is pretty easy to want to give up and call it quits. In any business, these are the tough and strenuous moments we face of doubt. We say to ourselves, "what the heck was I thinking doing the business, I must be crazy!!!!!" Come on now... If you know what you are doing is right and you continue to work until you reach your goal, well... Then you are on the true path to success. You must always be consistent in your actions, but also make sure the things you stand for are things you will be standing for many more years to come. With that winning formula....you really can't fail. OH and never, never quit! What will you focus on? And remember, what we focus on is what we will attract. Wishing you a very healthy, happy and prosperous year. Celebrating Your Success! San Francisco Sea Lion Syndrome 12/31/2009
Where has all of your down line gone? Are you doing what it takes to keep and build your business? Do not let what happened to Pier 39 in San Francisco happen to you. One day in 1990 Sea Lions headed into the Bay because of the herring population, giving them vast quantities of food. Then the day after Thanksgiving 2009 over 900 Sea Lions just disappeared! Where did they go? Why did they go? So after 20 years and building a tourist attraction around the Sea Lions, they just up and left. Did the city of San Francisco, the locals and the tourists just always believe they would have the luxury of seeing these incredible creatures day after day, year after year? I suppose so because why would they even consider leaving. This happened in much the same way when you are building your business and your client base is getting bigger and bigger or your down line is growing by leaps and bounds and you just glide along thinking that they will always be there. Unless you are constantly in front of your client base or keeping in touch with your down line through duplication, then this could very well happen to your business. What do you do to keep your business growing? How are you nurturing your clients and/or downline to come back again and again or continue to grow their downlines? Don't let your business become a Pier 39! ON THE ROAD AGAIN....yeee haaaaa! 12/16/2009
 Well my bags are packed and I am ready to go...well it is hard to leave 80 degree weather in Clearwater to go to 19 degrees in Chicago...BUT I would do it any day and ten times over because that is where my family is. When I wake up each day, I feel really blessed to know that I have the control over what happens. I am the CEO of my own company. I am the boss. Sometimes, it’s hard to earn that CEO title and more than a bit scary to know that I have no one to push me but me. BUT having my own business gives me the time freedom and financial means to do what I want, when I want and with whom I want...ESPECIALLY my family. Consider having your own business?...I can help. IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU.  Bird's eye view at Chicago.....BEAUTIFUL! SOOOO how are you building your business? 12/04/2009
 If you are a network marketing veteran or are new to the industry, there is no away around always having to talk to people, recruit and sponsor. It is the nature of the business and of the beast! When I first was introduced to network marketing, I was a bit reluctant, but thought “oh what a concept…work and build and sustain and reap the benefits of residual income.” Since I was putting anywhere between 60 - 80 hours a week into my brick and mortar businesses, the idea of working even a normal 40 hours a week and building a network for residual income became quite appealing. However, the hard facts hit me when I was told that at around the age of 25 I should know between 2000 – 3000 people! Well since I am 51, I was thinking that I should probably know about as many people as The Yellow pages, and the kicker is that my upline wanted me to remember them all, label them and call them. WHAT?!!! Well, I did see the bigger plan and knew that the industry was an ethical and warranted one, so I thought I would give “their way” a try. I made my list, contacted the ones I could and tried to talk to the ones that would listen. I did the 3 way calls, the cold calls, the searching out prospects (you know, hang around the local coffee house, or deli, join the local chambers, and even casually work my way into a conversation with the “not so happy” looking food server or retails sales person. Ok not so bad, right? Thankfully I am a friendly person and I can easily chat with anyone, but trying to push my business on someone who really doesn’t want a business, was just not cutting it. Heck, I think my family and friends are considering joining the witness protection program. Funny thing is, is that I had only mentioned my business to them once! Hey, I was told that that was the nature of the business too. Ya know, I don’t think that we should be even taught to contact people we know and love at first. I think we should be trained and guided to build our business through marketing through other avenues to prospects that really want to take a look at a business. Then, once we are making a little money and have the confidence and know everything (at least feel comfortable enough) about the business, only then can we be allowed to let our family and friends know about our business. After all, it would be much easier when I am taking those vacations all of the time, driving that new car or supporting my favorite charity more often to bring my family and friends into the business. Let’s just say I have had enough of that way of promoting my business. After all, I want to talk to people who want to talk to me, who want to listen about having their own business, who are open minded and are seeking me to know more about what I am doing to have the time freedom and financial security that network marketing can provide. I have found a way that will help increase your income in a primary program you may be working or are you are possibly will looking for something to promote that could earn you substantial money fast. Whichever it may be, the system that I have found and I am using, has the perfect marketing tool to skyrocket your income and do it in record time. I have found this to be the tool that six figure earners are using to make their fortune. Phone broadcasting is the hottest marketing method on the net today. In a few minutes this system is ready to go. You then press the magic button and the system takes over from there. You are then free to enjoy yourself; go to the beach, go to the movies with your family or just plain relax. Then like magic when you get back you will have more leads than you can handle. You see, with phone broadcasting, it's so easy and inexpensive to send out a voice broadcast to a few thousand phone contacts and then have an avalanche of highly motivated and interested people calling you back wanting to find out about your business. How would you like to never have to cold call again? How would you like to never have to chase a prospect, but having them call you asking to join your business? How about doing this as easy as clicking a button? How about it costing only pennies compared to any other marketing technique at any price! Broadcasting has been a secret of the world's top earners for years, but not any longer. You can send your message to thousands of people for less than two cents a call, but wait it gets even better. This system even has professionally recorded calls that are free for members to use that take all of the guesswork out of doing a broadcast. My system also includes free access to millions of genealogies, biz ops and b-2-b leads as well as many other included bonuses to just plug in and you're off and running and with our print video and webinar training nothing could be easier. You can rise to the top in your primary program’s pay plan in record time and simultaneously earn an extra few thousand dollars a week by sharing this tool with the other 14 million home-based business people who desperately need this product. The best part of the system is that it funnels the people for me, allowing me to spend my time with people who want to know more about my business and how it can suit their needs. OK, really the best part is that I don’t have to cold call or chase anyone…EVER, and you won’t have to either. Check out the systems I use and you will be well on your way to building your downline faster than you thought possible. The "Little Guy" Syndrome 11/21/2009
 Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) has been a part of the economic fabric for more than half a century. It has long since proven to be the single most effective means of individual wealth accumulation and company product distribution ever devised. So, why is it that this industry has demonstrated the worst percentage of positive results (as measured by the success or failure of the majority of participants)? Indeed, the drop-out rate has been so high that not only has the entire MLM industry been adversely affected, but the concept itself has been severely scrutinized. Many companies have failed to provide an equal chance for every participant to reach their full potential. The big organization builders in the industry recruit the “little guy” endlessly to grow, or just to sustain the size of their organizations. The “little guy” can’t compete with the big advertising budgets, the organizational skills or the numerous contacts of the big builder, so he drops out. The people who were brought in by the first “little guy” rolled up to their up-line. The net effect is that the upline’s checks and advertising budget get bigger, and the “little guy” loses his dream. The “little guy” always suffers the most and usually ends up with a net loss. As a direct consequence, many people who once embraced the MLM concept have come to regard the industry with a measure of skepticism and disdain. Why is this so? Isn't MLM reputed to have created more millionaires than any other industry in the last half century? This may be true, but the "Great Successes" are limited to a mere 3-5% of all participants. Another 5-10% has enjoyed a measured degree of success, but the great majority has endured a net loss in income, not to mention all of their valuable time, dashed hopes and unfulfilled dreams. One must always remember though that in any network marketing company our success is truly based on the effort we are willing to give it and the time we are willing to endure AND that if we don't give up, we will not fail as the numbers do not lie. It is just that it takes time to get to the level where the residual income will provide for a substantial living and most people are not willing to give it the time and effort needed and therefore they now think that network marketing doesn't work. When in fact, it does work! Although we all started out as the "little guy," there is nowhere that it states we can not and will not become one of the "BIG GUYS" in the industry. Yes, some of us lose money trying to build a business in network marketing, but then again many of us have lost money building a brick and mortar business with all of its overhead, inventory, and everthing it entails. If you decide that network marketing is something you want to pursue, then by all means jump on in...where else can you get started for such a little investment with the potential for such great returns...year after year! During the last half century, many great companies have emerged as the “stars” of the industry. Millions of people have received very tangible benefits from the wonderful products that these companies have introduced into the market place. If the missing piece of the puzzle, financial independence, has always been just beyond your grasp, then maybe you need to take a better look at the company you are in or the training you are receiving. But by all means do not quit if you want to make a go of it in network marketing. If your company is not up to par, find a new one. If your upline is less than helpful, find their upline, go cross line and even down line to find someone you can work with. Don't be a "little guy" who understands network marketing and appreciates the lifestyle it offers and not make it to being a "big guy." Wishing you great success. We all need to have a home based business! 11/17/2009
Facinating article written in 2001 and still holds true today.  If You Don't Have a Home-Based Business, Start One Today! The last decade may have been a decade of tremendous corporate profits and economic growth, but for the vast majority of North Americans, the 90's were a dismal, uphill climb. And many economists believe that this new millennium won't be getting better any time soon. Why? Changing business and government attitudes are the reason. There has seemingly been more anti-business legislation in the last decade than in any other this century. Stronger employment and labor laws, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Comprehensive Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA, which includes mandating health insurance for workers for a period of time after they leave employment), safety laws, much tougher laws for discharging workers, more liabilities for lawsuits, Family Leave Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (which is creating immense numbers of lawsuits), along with higher minimum wages and fringe benefits. Just reading this list is exhausting. While these acts have beneficial and protective aspects, they have also encouraged businesses to move their facilities. That "sucking sound" popularized by Ross Perot is not just down to Mexico, but elsewhere as well. The result has been a dramatic loss of heavy industry in the U.S. The young and the middle-aged alike are realizing that their dream of "having a job with a company forever" is an illusion. Companies have been downsizing, rightsizing, and capsizing for some time now, and they continue to do so-more now than ever before. Even the federal and state governments are getting into the act with layoffs and attrition of jobs. In addition to all this uncertainty and mutual lack of loyalty between companies and employees, even the workers who do keep their jobs have no guarantee of promotions due to the shrinking number of management positions. These circumstances aggravate the already tryingly long commutes in rush hour traffic and increasingly typical frustrated boss-spelled backwards, that double S-O-B. Finally, if all this isn't bad enough, under recent tax laws employees are shafted more than ever with limits and thresholds for their employee deductions and higher social security tax limits. This results in more couples working than ever before and, on many occasions, working more than one job. It is now almost impossible to have only one job in the family and make ends meet! Today, many households need three incomes just to survive. Sadly, even having more than one job does not produce any major positive effect on most people's bank accounts. Why? Because of tax laws. This was well illustrated in 1994 by Jane Bryant Quinn in her Woman's Day article on "How to Live on One Salary." Where The Money Goes Ms. Quinn's example assumed that a man was earning $40,000 per year. His wife (we will call her Lori) wasn't working. They had more month than money. (Sound familiar?) Lori subsequently got an administrative job for $15,000 per year. You would think this would improve the family's financial situation, but when Ms. Quinn examined the economics of getting this extra income, the results were startling! Lori had to pay federal and state taxes on her new income. Since they filed jointly, the family's combined income was what established their tax bracket. She paid $4,500 in new taxes, most of which was non-deductible, for federal and state income tax. Lori had social security withheld from her paycheck at the rate of 7.65 percent, which amounted to an additional nondeductible amount of $1,148 being extracted from her salary. She also had to commute to work 10 miles a day round trip, which is probably conservative for most people. This resulted (in 1995) in nondeductible commuting costs of $696. Lori also had some child care expenses, which give a partial tax credit. Ms. Quinn figured that the amount spent over and beyond the tax credit was $4,250 per year. Lori also ate out each day with colleagues, spending an average of $5 per day, five days a week. This results in a nondeductible expense of $1,250 per year. ( I would love to know where she ate for only $5!) Now that Lori has a job, she has to have professional clothing, this means a hefty dry cleaning bill. Ms. Quinn assumed that Lori's increased expenses here amounted to an extra $1,000 per year, nondeductible, of course. Finally, with both spouses working, Lori wasn't in the mood to cook dinner every night. They bought more convenience foods and ate out more frequently. This resulted in increased food costs of a nondeductible $1,000 per year in minimum. Add it all up and Lori's take home pay was a paltry $1,156 a year, for which she had to put up with a daily commute, an unpleasant boss, and corporate hassles. No wonder more and more people are starting home-based businesses. In fact, there are currently an estimated 30 million people working from their homes. This number is expected to more than triple, to 97 million, by the year 2010, and to keep on growing. This has become and will continue to be one of the greatest mass movements in the U.S. Why a Home-Based Business Makes So Much "Cents" There are many reasons why so many people are favoring home-based over traditional business. There is no commute (unless you have a really big home), no boss, little if any chance of lawsuits, much lower overhead, no employees, (or few), and far fewer government restrictions. In fact, many of the laws previously cited don't apply to small firms with few or no employees. It is for these reasons, according to Entrepreneur magazine, that 95 percent of home-based businesses succeed in their first year and achieve an average income of $50,250 per year with many earning much more. There are really two sets of tax laws in this country. One is for employees, and it allows deductions for individual retirement accounts, 401(k)s (if you have one set up by your company), interest and property taxes on your home (which some in Congress want to do away with ), and charity. Then there are the laws for home-based business people who conduct their business either full-time or part-time. They can deduct, with proper documentation ,their house, their spouse, and even children (by hiring them), their business vacations, their cars, and their food with colleagues. They can also set up a pension plan that makes any government plan seem paltry by comparison. For Lori-and for you - the meaning of all this is simple: Lori earned $15,000 in salary as an employee, but took home only $1,156. She could have netted the entire $15,000 had she earned it in a home-based business! This is an increase of almost 13 times her take-home pay as an employee. Notice that Lori is not spending dramatically more money than she is currently spending. She would eat out anyway, go on trips and drive her car the same as before. By having a home-based business, however, many of their expenses become deductible. This concept is known as "redirecting expenses." With a legitimate home-based business, she can now deduct some of the expenses that she is incurring anyway. Renegade Strategy: If you don't have a home-based business, start one! In addition to all the benefits mentioned above, Congress will subsidize you while you are growing your home-based business. If your home-based business produces a tax loss in the first year or so, you can use that tax loss against any other income you have. It can be used against wages earned as an employee, dividends, pensions, or interest income-or you can use the loss against your spouse's earnings if you file a joint return. If the tax loss exceeds all your income for this year, no problem. You can carry back the loss two years and get a refund from the IRS for up to the last two years of income taxes paid, or you can carry over the loss twenty years. You read it right: You can offset up to 20 years of income! Here's an example: Mike earns $50,000 in a job with the government. If he starts a home-based business that generates a tax loss of 10,000, he only pays tax on $40,000. Renegade Tip: You can never lose a properly documented business deduction as long as you run your legitimate business like a business with a bona fide business purpose and have an honest expectation of profit. Make also sure that all your expenses are ordinary and necessary and reasonable as noted in our Tax Advantage and Tax Strategy Program Renegade Strategy: Get LUCK-Labor Under Correct Knowledge. Can You Succeed In a Home-Based Business? Research has constantly shown that it is rarely the business that determines success or failure. It is usually the business owner. Why does one person succeed and another fail at the same business? Two words-Knowledge and Action. Some people want the benefits of having their own business, but they don't take action. The result is business failure. Then there are the people who are always working. They take action but still fail. The reason is that they are not taking the correct actions, the knowledgeable actions, that will bring the desired results. Again, business failure. It's like drilling for oil. If you set up a drilling rig in your back yard, it is going to fail at producing oil unless your back yard is in Texas or Alaska. The same rig in a good field will produce a gusher, because it was placed where oil was known to exist. The point is that most people who get excited about starting their own home-based business do so without all the necessary knowledge. Consequently, many people quit before they acquire, through experience, the knowledge they need, without realizing that they are getting substantial tax breaks. This leads to another strategy.... Renegade Strategy: Learn to duplicate the success of others. Duplicating the strategy of others is much quicker and more effective than going to the school of hard knocks. It is also known as modeling, which is well-illustrated by the way The McDonalds Corporation blazed a trail to success that many have since followed. In the early 1950's McDonald's and other start-up companies discovered that they could grow many times faster than the conventional firms through franchising. Instead of the company investing millions of dollars to build new stores, they let independent franchises do it for them. It seemed like a great idea, but at first no one figured out how to make it succeed on a consistent basis; therefore, the media attacked relentlessly and continually. News articles featured destitute families who had lost their life savings through franchising schemes. Virtually every state attorney general in the U.S. condemned the new marketing method. Some congressmen even tried to outlaw franchising entirely. Over the years, however, Ray Kroc and his management team at McDonald's developed a turnkey franchise business team at McDonald's franchise. The newfound success-from the system-turned public perception of franchising around. Today, virtually every franchise business models-to some extent-the franchise business system created by McDonald's, making franchising one of the most respected ways of doing business in the world. Modeling is simply learning what other successful people have done to achieve success in a specific area, and then doing the same thing. Someone said that "education is the shortcut to experience." With modeling, you literally leverage your own learning with the collective years of learning through experience of many others. Modeling the success of others saves both time and money and reduces frustration and stress. The light at the end of the tunnel, for you and millions of others today, is the financial opportunity that starting your own business offers. If you have one going already, then make sure you are enjoying the many financial advantages to which your smart choice entitles you. The tax advantage alone can make a home-based business the single best financial move you could ever make. Sandy Botkin CPA. Esq. Copyright 2001, all rights reserved NEVER COLD CALL AGAIN! 11/14/2009

 If you are new to the network marketing industry and are having a bit of trouble ramping up your business, then maybe you are trying to do it all alone. The greatest thing about network marketing is that you are building a successful business with the help of other people who want for your success. The network marketing industry can provide you not only with time freedom and financial security, but with relationships for life. Tap into those relationships with your up-line, your down-line and with the many available tools, so that you are not marketing your business alone, but are relying on the expertise of those who built their business before you. Here are 10 reasons why successful network marketing companies provide affordable tools to their distributors. 1. Increase Activity in the Field The activity of the distributors will determine much of the success of the Company. Tools increase activity and ensure that your distributors are constantly telling the company's story. 2. Provide a Message Tools deliver the Company's message perfectly-time and time again. Remember when you were a child and you told a secret to someone and, of course, that secret got passed from one friend to another only to come back to you completely altered than when you first told it? This does not happen when the exact same message is being delivered every time. 3. Greater Productivity Tools are the fastest way to reach a large amount of people. Leveraging tools will help your distributors build large and successful organizations. If you purchase 100 CDs at $1 each and distributed them to 100 people and then each of your distributors (let's say five of your distributors) did the same thing and then each of their 5 distributors did the same thing, you would have leveraged your $100 worth of CDs 30 times! That means your advertising budget was leveraged to $3100 to build your organization. 4. Increase Retention If you provide a system to your organization and teach them how to use the tools, you will generate loyalty, commitment and greater retention. An educated distributor and/or customer are more likely to continue with your company long term. 5. Proven Success It's simple-tools work. Many powerful industry leaders have built their businesses using tools: newspapers, brochures, books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Find the tool that is "right" for you and the person you want to bring into your business or share the product with. Many leading distributors share their experience in order to help others in their organizations and throughout the company. Learn from them. 6. Add Credibility Tools provide instant credibility with personal success stories, research from experts, and detailed information about your company and the product. 7. Simplify Your Company's Presentation Tools allow your distributors to pass along the same powerful message every single time in a concise and accurate presentation. 8. Duplicate Easily Duplication in direct selling is essential. Tools provide a system and a routine for distributors that are simple to duplicate. When a company makes it easy for its distributors to learn and duplicate the message and how to build the business, the rate of success drastically increases. 9. Rely on the Message Not everyone is a great presenter, but tools can make anyone a great sponsor. This helps to rely on the message and not being the messenger. By having tools to be the messenger, everyone can build a business in the network marketing industry. 10. Enhance Your Sponsoring Efforts Tell your story in volume. Imagine the power of having thousands of newspapers, brochures, and CDs out in communities worldwide telling your story. The more people who see the tools, the more who will be interested in your Company's product and opportunity. As discussed in #3, leveraging the tools, which leverages your sponsoring, builds your organization more effectively and more often, faster. To build your business with greater ease, find the tools that work best for you and that you are comfortable with sharing to potential customers or business builders that you would like to be a part of your organization. Wishing you great success in your business and remember...NEVER GIVE UP! |  Hi, my name is Andrea Pekarik Welch. Welcome to my blog and website.
I LOVE small business entrepreneurs! They keep our country alive and well and my respect for their time, attention and devotion is only second to the people who guard and protect our country, our military. Without the small business person, our economy would be even more devastated. I, myself, learned the ins and outs of the typical "brick and mortar" business and know without a doubt that I never want that kind J.O.B. (the one you "buy") rule my life ever again. I found a better way to help people, create a fabulous income and stimulate the economy. You can be in complete control of your financial future with very little overhead, no paperwork, no inventory and no employees. Be well and God Bless.
