Advice and Strategies That Will Take You Out of This World

Leads Are The Wheels That Make Your Business Move Forward – Do You Need a New Set?

Leads leads leads, that’s all I ever heard about when I came into the network marketing industry. Well it didn’t take me long to figure out why either. I soon realized real fast, that without a funnel of leads, you’re not going anywhere with your network marketing business, especially those trips to the bank. You won’t be making many of those.

Leads are the wheels that make your business move forward. Do you need a new set? If you do, I would like to introduce you to one that will not only take you forward, but will make the trip faster and so much smoother than you ever dreamed of before. It’s the luxury liner of business leads.

The first thing you need to understand is attraction marketing. I get a lot of questions from newbies that are just joining the network marketing arena, and the first thing they want to do is go out and hammer everyone and their uncle about the next best business that there in. After they’ve chased everyone away and they’re left there standing all alone, penniless, they come to the conclusion that network marketing is a scam and they quit. They pass this onto all their family and friends and that’s why network marketing has received such a bad name. Quitters never win and winners never quit.

Next is to get involved with a marketing system that will teach you how attraction marketing works and how you can generate leads, most of them free, when you implement the right strategies. Now I know that there are a lot of them out there and they vary in prices, and I’ve seen quite a few of them myself, but the best one is My Lead System Pro. MLSP will not only give you training from some of the top earners in this industry but,  you will also be introduced and meet some of the up and coming stars. MLSP is by far the best marketing system on the planet.

You have to get the proper introduction and education as to what attraction marketing is all about, from the one who put it all together, Mike Dillard. If you’ve never heard of or seen his explanation of how this system works and how it’s made for him over 7 million dollars, and how it has revolutionized the network marketing industry, you need too as soon as possible. As a matter of fact get seven training videos from Mike Dillard on this subject, absolutely free right here, and start yourself on the right road to leads and prosperity. Listen to Mike himself explain it all to you.

The next step, after you’ve learned some of the basics to attraction marketing, is what I call the grand daddy of all lead system generating tools, LeadNetPro. This is the by far the best that I’ve ever seen in generating leads for any type of business you might have. Once you get your system set up you will never have to pay for a lead again.

Delivering 99% accurate data from some of the top search engines, Google, Yahoo, and more, your business will start to climb very rapidly. You will have more leads than you can handle.

They also have a voice broadcasting system that is just incredible. I’ve never seen anything like it and so easy to do. Once you set it, you can go about your other tasks and come back to leads that want you to call them back, because the system has done all the separating for you. If you’ve ever done cold calling, like I have, you won’t ever have to go through all those hang ups and nasty people again. This works!

Last, but certainly not least, is another favorite of mine and one that I use all the time, IMToolSuite. This is the one stop, has all the tools that every business needs. There is the capture page creator, voice and text messaging, video email, web conferencing, contact manager, fanpage creator, Face book greeter, and nine other tools that are all under one roof. No more having fifteen pages open trying to do everything, this is all at one page for you.

Some of these tools you may have already, like I did, and I was able to save over $100 per month when I could cancel them, because IMToolSuite already had them for me. Kenny Gregg, Cedrick Harris, and Jim Choa, know what it’s like being in the trenches all the time themselves, so who better to put together one of the best business tool boxes that every business owner should have, weather it’s internet or a brick and mortar business, this is a must have for all your business needs.

Leads are the life blood of any business, and without them your business will be heading south real quick. I hope I’ve given you a guide and a road that will help you, and maybe ease all the confusion that is out there.

I know lots of things get thrown at you all at once, but these are the ones that you can hook up too, and will get you to where you want your business to go, and that’s straight up.

God bless

Recruiting and Moving Products is Network Marketing

Network marketing is not a pyramid scheme, and it’s not a scam! Now that we’ve got that out-of-the-way let’s get to the heart of this post.

Network marketing has got such a bad rap from people who are not in network marketing, don’t know anything about network marketing, and never have been in any kind of business in their life.

Have you ever noticed that the people who complain and wine the most about something are always the ones that know the least about it.

I witnessed an automobile accident a couple of years ago, as it happened. I saw the car go flying off the road and land just in front of a telephone pole right in front of me. I parked my car and rushed over where I found a very frightened young teenage girl, she was unhurt, but very scared.

After the police came and the reports were filled out, I heard all kinds of people who said that a girl was killed, that her baby was in the back seat, etc, etc. Everyone of those people were not there when the accident happened and didn’t have a clue as to what they were talking about, but yet they freely gave out false information as to what happened.

I see that very same thing happen in the network marketing industry. If you are interested in getting involved in a network marketing business of your own, talk to some one who is in the business and knows what they are talking about. There are credible and honest people in this industry who give out value and help to those who are seriously looking for it.

Like any business, recruiting and moving products is network marketing. Whether you own a brick and mortar business or any business, you must move products and recruit others to help you move products to keep your business flourishing. That’s how business works, and that’s how you make money.

More and more millionaires are being produced through network marketing. More and more people are coming into network marketing, out of necessity, and finding a completely new career, that is producing for them another income.

Through the internet, a brand new stream of businesses, and a whole new way of doing business is evolving, and more and more companies are jumping on this band wagon. Companies failing to comprehend the substantial pace at which the internet is growing are already loosing ground to competitors. In the recent past even retail giants missing opportunities to compete have disappeared completely.

Network marketing is “The business of the 21st Century”, according to business leader and best-selling author, Robert Kiyosaki. His, “Rich Dad – Poor Dad”, book series is still one of the best sources of information to small business owners today.

Robert Kiyosaki's Newest Book

In the next ten to twenty years, the internet is going to change the way we all do business, and network marketing is going to be in the fore front and leading the way for people, just like you and me, to start and maintain a business of our very own, not just creating another stream of income, but producing a source of income for our families and other families for decades to come.

If you’re thinking of dipping your toes into network marketing, let me help you get started with a free gift. It’s a business training that we did on internet marketing. It’s my gift to you. Watch it and I will personally call you and talk to you about your marketing needs. Click on the picture for instant access to this training.

Women vs Men in Network Marketing – Who Comes Out on Top?

There have probably been more articles and talk about this subject than we will ever be able to read, but I would like to throw my two cents in, and I think what I have to say may surprise some of you, especially my wife.

When we think of the work force, we usually always think of the male figure. The men have dominated over the women in this area for decades. The man was always looked at as the provider and protector of his home and his family. Women were the care takers and the ones who made the house a home to live in.

When I grew up, my mom was always the one who greeted us as we came home from school. Later my dad would make his way from his office and that’s how it was.

Well the financial landscape has changed dramatically since that time. Women have made great strides in the market place. Their are women who are CEO’s and hold high positions in some of the top companies in the world. It has been a huge struggle and the battle is not over. The corporate, 9 to 5 job world, is a struggle for anybody, especially for women, in today’s economy.

Their pay scale is usually not on the same level as their male counterparts. They usually have a family, waiting at home, that still has to be taken care of. They are more likely to be overlooked for that new promotion, simply because of their gender.

What about the network marketing arena? What about between business owners and network marketers? Is the playing field the same for both parties?

Well for one, you are a business owner when you are in a network marketing business. It’s your business and you are the boss. It grows as you put forth your effort, time, and resources. Nobody is trying to get your job and there are no promotions that you are seeking, except to help others in your organization grow their businesses as well.

As with other businesses, you are still responsible for the needs and cares of your family and home, but because you are the boss, you make your business around your schedule. You can go to the bathroom, take a vacation, or take the afternoon off and go and see your son or daughter play that soccer game. Being the boss is an incredible benefit of having your own business.

Time is no longer master over you as in the 9 to 5  job, where you exchange your time for a paycheck. When you own your own business, that all changes.

The other advantage of being a business owner, in the network marketing industry, is leveraging the efforts of others in your organization, to produce a residual stream of income. That is, income that comes in every single month, on the work and efforts of you and your organization.

You see, in the 9 to 5  job world, it’s dog eat dog. You have to be on your guard every single moment, or you could get eaten and hurt by someone else trying to move up the ladder. If you lose your job, you and your entire family pay the price.

In being a business owner you are creating multiple streams of income, and if one stream gets cut off, or runs dry, you have others that will keep you going. It’s not going to change your life style as if you lost your 9 to 5 job. Just take a look around you at this struggling economy that we are in today. Many people have lost their one and only stream of income and they are hurting real bad right now.

Is there any advantage to being a man or a women in this type of atmosphere? Women vs Men in Network Marketing – Who Comes Out on Top?

Neither. It is a level playing field for all! It’s the only place where true cooperation and working for the team, benefits all. I want to encourage my organization and help them achieve their goals, because everyone wins when that happens. You will never find this in the corporate world or any 9 to 5 job.

Some of the most successful business owners have been women.

  1. Mary Kay Ash – Mary Kay Cosmetics
  2. Debbie Fields – Mrs. Fields Cookies
  3. Estee Lauder – Estee Lauder Cosmetics
  4. Dani Johnson – Entrepreneur and business owner
  5. Martha Stewart – Entrepreneur, Media personality and billionaire Lifestyle guide.
  6. Oprah Winfrey – Billionaire Talk Show Host and Actress.

Only by becoming a business owner can you become financially free and gain time freedom. Working for someone else, from 9 to 5, and putting all your eggs in one basket, will never make you free. Weather your a women or a man, network marketing is the only avenue that affords you this opportunity.

It’s all up to you. Work for the man and be strapped and under his control, or, work for yourself and gain financial freedom and the time to do what you want to do, and when you want to do it.

This is where you need to be!


Do You Have The Right Tools?

How many of you were ready to start that home project that your wife has been bugging you to do for a long time, and you realize that you don’t have the right tools. The right tools are very very important. The same is true in your business.

If you are a network marketer, and you have your own network marketing business, you need tools to run your business. As your organization starts to grow, you need even more tools. Tools that will enable you to connect,  communicate, and train your people. It’s the heart of any business.

Finding the right tools can be burdensome and expensive. I know we all have tools that we thought were going to do one thing and they end up doing absolutely nothing instead. We bought them just to have them taking up space on our computers.

Some are good tools though,  that we still have and use, but they come with an expensive start up and monthly fee.

GoTomeeting is one example. We all need web conferencing as our business grows. GoTomeeting has a $50 a month fee at their lowest program, which only includes 15 people. I hope you plan on having more than fifteen people in your business, and if you are, the next price slot is $100 dollars, $500 dollars and $1000 dollars a month.

My friends Cedrick Harris, Kenny Gregg, and Jim Choa, have come up with a solution to this very big dilemma, it’s called IMToolSuite.

IMToolSuite  has a;

  • Capture Page Creator
  • Phone Follow Up
  • Web Conferencing
  • Contact Manager
  • Video Email
  • Live Greeter
  • Face Book Greeter
  • Instant E-Signature
  • Digital Library
  • Auto Responder
  • QR Code Generator
  • Video Hosting

I told you about the web conferencing, now the capture page creator; it’s incredible. Create capture pages unique to you and your business. I had a tool for this that I was paying $30 dollars a month for and it didn’t have nothing compared to IMToolSuite.

Face Book greeter is another time saver for me. I use Face Book all the time, and everyday having to answer Face Book friend requests can take a good chuck out of my day. Not anymore. The Face Book greeter sends all my messages on auto-pilot.

The digital library has tons of e-books, training software, and courses that are worth hundreds of dollars and they are yours, with reselling rights also. Give them away as free gifts or market them.

Video email has been a huge part of my business. I really like it and I get such good responses from it. The video email that is included in IMToolSuite, is by far the best I’ve seen. Easy to use with so much more that you can do with your videos.

Anybody ever get their You tube account shut down? Loose all your videos and never given a reason why? They have that one solved as well with their own video hosting…yes it’s also included in the IMToolSuite. No more chasing down where your videos are that you want to use, it’s all right here.

I didn’t even get to talk about the auto responder, QR Code Generator, Contact Manager, Phone Follow Up, Live Greeter, and E-Signature. I guess you’ll just have to check it all out for yourself.

All this, every tool that you will ever need, under one roof for one low price. No entrance fee, just one low monthly cost. By being able to cancel some of the programs that you won’t have to use or pay for anymore, will probably cover the cost easy. It worked that way for me.

Oh, I saved the best for last. Their is an affiliate program attached also.

Think about this for a minute. All the tools you need, saving money will probably cover your cost to use these tools, and now you can also generate another stream of income on top of it all.

As Cederick would always say…it’s kind of one of those things that makes you scratch your head and say…uuuuuuummmmm.

7 Steps to Starting Your Own Business

What are your dreams? Have you ever just dreamed of things and wondered what if, and why not? Ever dream of starting your own business? Maybe from the time you and your friend had a lemonade stand, in your front yard, as a kid growing up; you always wondered what it would be like, and if you could be successful at running your own business.
With our struggling economy and people trying to make ends meet, everyone is looking at anything they can do to increase their income. Maybe a second job or even a change of careers, there is nothing that is left off the table.
What about starting a business? Now unless you have at least a quarter of a million dollars laying around and about 60 to 80 hours a week that you don’t know what to do with, starting your own business is totally out of the question today, unless…. you are thinking of a home business opportunity.
Did you know that home based businesses or network marketing; is a 114 billion dollar a year industry? That’s billion with a B. When most people think of network marketing they think of companies like Amway and Avon, but let’s take a look at these businesses.
Did you know that Amway is the largest company in the world today, using the network marketing vehicle? Its sales are in excess of 8 billion dollars a year?
Avon has sales over 10 billion dollars a year and is the oldest network marketing company around. It was founded back in 1886. Who says network marketing won’t last. These are just two of over five thousand companies fighting for a little piece of that 114 billion dollar pie.
Donald Trump owns his own network marketing company and Robert Kiyosaki says the network marketing is the business of the future. Let me give you seven reasons why you might want to consider why network marketing might be a place to start looking if you need extra income or if you ever dreamed about starting your own business. This is not going to be for everyone, but it just might be for you.
1. The Cost
Like I said, to start your own business, you will need a good chunk of change to even get your feet off the ground. You can get into most network marketing businesses with a minimal investment of five hundred dollars or less.
2. Time Investment
With any business, you have to put your time and energies into getting things going. Network marketing is no different. If I was a doctor, attorney, or baker, my business would be me. I am the business. If something happens to me, the business closes. With network marketing, my network is my business.
Yes, it takes time to build, but once it is built, my business will continue to pay me a residual income, no matter what I do, because I am leveraging the efforts of my network that I have built, to create a continuous income stream for me. I don’t have to be there 70 or 80 hours a week. After all, isn’t that what it means to “own your own business”?
3. The Product
Many people will get into a network marketing business without putting any real thought behind it. You must have a product that is marketable for the times, a process for duplication, and a company that has the leadership and training to back you up.
4. May The Force of the Network Be With You
The only income stream you will ever be able to generate in most businesses, is when you make a sale of your product or service. In the corporate world, I want to step on you and dominate you so I can get to the top. You are not a friend; you are an obstacle that is in my way of getting to where I want to be.
Not so in network marketing. I want to help you succeed, because your success is my success. We all benefit when the network team succeeds. I am building a network force of individuals that will leverage their efforts and abilities to create an income stream that will continue to come in every single month. Through duplication, this is done over and over throughout the entire network.

5. Create Your Own Schedule
This is your business and you can work it around your life and create your own hours. Many people start their new home based business on a part time basis. With the power of the Internet, many businesses can be taken with you were ever you go. If you have a lap-top and a smart phone, you are ready to go.
6. Learn Perseverance
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Give yourself a proper time schedule of two to five years. I see so many people that don’t do their homework and jump into something, and after three months they quit. Nobody is going to be successful in any business after only three months, and if this is your first attempt at starting a business, there is going to be some things that only time and experience will teach you.
7. Roll Up Your Sleeves and Get To Work
Work as hard as you want. Remember; treat your business like a business and it will pay you like a business. Treat it like a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby. You can’t just sit on your hands and expect your business to grow. Running your own business is going to take a lot of work and failures, before you’ll ever learn how to fly, but only those who refuse to quit will ever make it to the winners circle.
In closing, I would like to suggest a network marketing business, that has the perfect product, the leadership and training to support all, and it is in a niche all by itself. A 100 billion dollar a year niche and we are the only ones doing this through the vehicle of the network marketing industry. That’s 100 billion with a B. Eleven million every hour. There are lots of customers in our market.
Numis Network is the name. Gold and silver graded collectible coins are its game. In case you haven’t noticed, gold and silver are a very hot topic today, so If you’re looking for other avenues of income or maybe you’ve always had a dream of starting your own business, Numis Network just might be for you.

10 Steps To Success In Network Marketing

When I left Ford Motor Company and decided to start my own business, the first place that I looked was the network marketing industry. I had put in thirty five successful years at Ford, and now I wanted to put in successful years at my own business.

I had dabbled in network marketing many years ago and found it to be very interesting, but I have learned a great deal since then and I wanted to do this the right way and give me the greatest opportunity for success that I could.

I am going to give you the ten steps to success in network marketing, that I learned the hard way and by implementing these into your business, you can bypass some of my mistakes.

1. Commit and Follow Through

Your decision to start, build and grow your business is a very serious one. Consider the commitment you are making. Treat it as a business and it will pay you like a business. Treat it as a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby.

2.  Look For The Right Company

Find a company that has the right product for the right market. Products that are high in demand and have solid value. A strong compensation plan with solid and supportive leadership that will assist and train you with a long term vision of growth.

3.   Duplication

Many people forget the first word in network marketing. Building a network of like minded people. Leveraging your products through your network is your business. Make sure your company has a system of duplication that you can plug your people into.

4.   Surround Yourself With Success

Become a part of the company community.  Success never travels alone.  Hook into those people who are making it and become a sponge. Soak up what they are giving out. Listen and learn and watch what happens.

5.   Keep Communication Lines Open

Stay in touch with the person who brought you in and keep in touch with those you bring in. Help them get started on the right foot. Building a solid infrastructure is going to be a huge key to your success.

6.   Accountability

Find a mentor or somebody that you will be held accountable too. Someone who is successful and that you can connect with.

7.   Have Patience

So many people will jump into a network marketing business because a friend told them about it and they don’t give it any thought at all. Studies show that after 63 days they will quit. This is your business. No one builds a successful  business in 63 days. Give yourself a window of between 2-5 years.

8.   Chart Your Success

Set some goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. Have a balance of internet marketing and offline marketing. Try different strategies and watch which ones are working for you and which ones that aren’t.

9.   Make Good Business Decisions

Your business decisions should always be based on facts and not on fear  They should be thought through without all the emotional tags attached to them.

10.   Seek Wise Counsel

Getting good advice comes from good resources. Rely on the wisdom of successful and experienced people in your industry, not your wife, family or friends. After all, you wouldn’t want to be seeking advice about the brain surgery you must have, from your eight year old son who likes playing with his doctor kit!

The network marketing industry is a 120 billion dollar a year industry. There are many successful stories to write about. Decide today that you are going to be the next one.

If you have a success story or are just starting out in the network marketing industry, please tell me about it. I would love to hear about you and your experience.

Numis Network Wants To Give You An Ounce Of Silver For Free!

In case you haven’t noticed, we are in an economic crisis in this country, and around the whole world. People are losing their jobs and struggling to make ends meet.

Where are you today? Are you looking for another source of income? Maybe to replace one that you lost or maybe to do something completely different? Flipping burgers or working at a restaurant busing tables, just doesn’t have the right appeal to you?

You are not alone my friend. Many people are in the exactly the same position as you. That’s why it is so difficult to find a job today. There was a huge problem at a store down south that had a couple of job openings and thousands came to apply.

Have you ever thought about doing something different? Start your own business? Well if you had about $100,000 in the bank, that might be a choice. Only one thing with that idea, the failure rate for new businesses, especially in our economic climate, is not very good.

What about Network Marketing? Now before you stop reading and close this out, let me make a couple of points about network marketing that you may not know.

  1. Many people forget the first word in network marketing. Network. Every year companies spend billions and billions of dollars on marketing costs. With network marketing, you build a network or organization of people that market products for the company. The company can now give those billions of dollars back to it’s distributors, instead of the marketing agencies.
  2. You don’t have to be a good sales-person to be successful at network marketing. You do have to be a good people person and leader, because you are building an organization of people. People don’t buy from companies, they buy from people that they know and trust. Your network of people is your business that is going to produce a residual income that will go on and on.
  3. Your product should be a marketable for the economic climate you are in. You probably wouldn’t do very well trying to market sun tan lotion in Alaska. Not to many people laying out in the sun over there. Pick a company with a strong product for the time.
  4. Leadership is very important. Don’t sign with a company that will just sign you up and send you off. What kind of leadership to they have? Will they train you and take the time to help you out. Your success should be just as important to them as it is to you.
  5. Give yourself three to five years. So many bad reports from people in network marketing that try it because their brother signed them up and after three months they quit. Friends, you will never build a business in three months. I don’t care what kind of business you have. There are no “get rich quit” businesses out there. Don’t fall into that trap.

Network marketing is a 120 billion dollar a year industry. Some of the wealthiest  people come from a network marketing background. With a minimal investment you can start your own business, full or part time. Put the kind of effort you want into it, but remember…treat it like a business and it will pay you like a business. Treat it like a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby.

There is training, because most of you reading this are coming from a 9 to 5 job mentality. You must change your mind set from a JOB to a business owner. That is very very important.

That’s why I want to tell you about a business that has all of the above. It’s called Numis Network. Gold and silver collectible coins. Right now  Numis is running a special promotion; you can start your Numis business for only $75 and your first ounce of silver is FREE!  What company gives you money when you start your business? There is more so click on the link below for more information. Numis Network wants to give you an ounce of silver for free!

Network marketing is the business of the future and gold and silver with Numis Network is the business for right now.

Network Marketing – What It Is and What It Isn’t

In my everyday conversations with people, I get a lot of people who ask me what I do. When I say that I am in network marketing, most of them will sneer and look at me with that same look, ” that’s one of those pyramid schemes”. Network marketing carries the wrong illusion of a pyramid scheme. When I ask them back, ” what is a pyramid scheme?” They cannot answer. I am going to tell you the truth about network marketing – what it is and what it isn’t.

What It Is

Network marketing is not a pyramid scheme. Network marketing is a business that leverages the efforts of many distributors or representatives of a company to produce sales of a product or service that this company represents. These efforts produce a residual income for both the company and the distributors of that company. It’s that simple.

I worked for Ford Motor Company for thirty five years. Through the combined effort of thousands of employees, all around the world, sales and the distribution of  Ford Motor Company vehicles, produced a residual income for both Ford Motor Company and its employees. You could say that Ford Motor Company is a form of network marketing. This can be said of thousand of other companies all around the globe. You probably are or have been employed by one of them.

What most people don’t realize is that network marketing is the key that drives the entire worlds economy. In fact 95% of the worlds population work in some type of network marking and don’t even know it. If it is run as I described in the paragraph above, it is probably some sort of network marketing business.

What It Isn’t

I am approached, by network marketing representatives, every day about their particular company and the product or service that it represents. There are about 4800 network marketing companies out there, so there are a lot of fish in the ocean to choose from. When someone comes to me about a business opportunity that only has to do with the passing and exchanging of money from one person hands to the next persons hands, a big red flag goes up. When there is no mention of a product or service, and they can get cleaver in hiding this, be very careful.

There was a company that was out, and may still be out, that cost one hundred dollars to get in. With this they put your name on a grid. As you got people to join, your name moved up the grid. When you got to the top of the grid, you received a check for a certain amount of money, and your name went to the next grid. When you got to the top of that grid you received another check. With each grid, the check amount increased. The only way you moved up the grid was by how many people you brought in. This is a pyramid scheme. No product involved, and the only way you moved up was getting more people in, not selling anything.

Some people were making money, but it is illegal. This is against the law, and you want to be very careful. They can be very cleaver on how they present their opportunity. If you are seriously looking for a network marketing business, talk to someone that you know and understands the business. If you don’t know anybody, you can take a look at my website. I have plenty of information on the network marketing industry, or attend one of my training’s. I would be happy to assist you in what exactly network marketing is all about.

The network marketing industry has been around for over a hundred years. It produces 120 billion dollars a year of revenue. The oldest network marketing company is Avon, not Amway. Most people don’t know that. It has providing more millionaires than any other industry. For a small investment you can start your very own business. Work from home and build a nice residual income for you and your family. Work par-time or full-time. Work your business around your schedule. It is a strong and viable industry to get into. Do your homework.

Five Tips To Success in Network Marketing

Reciprocation

Studies have shown that when a discounted item is compared with the offer of a free product, we are always more likely to take the free product than the discounted item. There is something about that word, free, that we just can’t resist. The higher we perceive the value of the free gift, the greater we feel obliged to the person that is offering it to us.  Anytime you can give visitors something of value, the more likely you are of converting them into customers.  The principle of reciprocation is very powerful and well documented.

In one study there was the sale of raffle tickets. People were offered a can of Coke without any obligation to buy a ticket. The people who took the can of Coke, bought twice as many raffle tickets than those who did not. When people accept something of value, they feel an obligation to you. Remember, a discounted item is not a free gift.

Commitment

Once a person has started down a path, they are far more likely to continue down that path and believe in a positive outcome, than they ever did before they started. If you have a form that is long and difficult to get through, even if it is only one page, you will be less likely to complete it, over a form that is simple and easy to follow. If your website or blog is easy to maneuver around and the sign up simple to follow, your conversion rate will go up. Make sure what you are offering is out in front where it can be spotted with no trouble.

Acceptance

Before we join any group, we want to make sure that the people in that group have similar needs. Nobody wants to feel like the last person picked for the team. We want to join a group that we feel we can fit in with. We want to be with a successful group where we can also learn to be successful. We want to be with leaders that can lead. When talking with your prospects show opportunities of success with other clients that are just as they are.

Explanation

Two groups of people were studied. They were to go into long lines of people and ask to cut in line. One group just simply asked courteously, if they could cut in, and were allowed to do so 60% of the time. The other group also asked courteously if they could cut in line, but they added, “because I’m in a rush.” This group was allowed 94% of the time. Whenever we ask for information online, weather a commitment to buy, or personal information, adding a “because” statement to it will increase your chances of a good result.

Credibility

The “professional” look of your website, will convince 47% of the people that visit it, if it’s credible or not. Spelling errors, poor navigation and an amateurish look, will drive traffic away and make it harder for you to convince people that you are reliable. Your home page’s appearance is key to the success that you will have. Make sure that it represents your best side.

Buying is a very emotional decision for most people. Buyers like to think of themselves as logical and practical. The truth of the matter is that we will shop until we reach our comfort level, and than we will buy. The design of your website will help people reach that comfort level, because you will be perceived as someone that they want to do business with.

By understanding and putting into action, these five tips to success in your network marketing business, and you will see an increase in your conversions.

Network Marketing is Not About Sales – It’s About Leadership

How many times have you heard the saying, don’t live above your means. Stay below the income level you have set for yourself. If that’s the mind set that you carry,  you will never be successful in network marketing or in any other business for that matter.

Their are four kinds of people in the world today.

The first one is the person that always has to be right. This person is so engrossed in proving that they are right and you are wrong, that they loose all focus on anything else. Their total goal is prove this fact at any cost. They will never make good business owners because their whole mindset is all wrong.

The second person is the always looking to be comfortable. This person’s house could be burning down around them, but as long as they have their remote in their hand and the football game on TV, they are OK. Comfortable people are always willing to let other people do all their work. They are not willing to roll up their sleeves and get into the game and get dirty themselves.

The third type of person is the one who always wants to be liked. They are not willing to say the right thing for fear that someone will not like what they say. They worry about everybody thinks about them, over getting the work done. They just want to be well liked and the work and the success goes by the wayside.

The fourth person is the one I hope all of you are. You want to win. These people have a drive and a penchant to get into the winners circle. It’s all about getting the work done and doing what it takes to win. No excuses and no letting up. It’s win or nothing else. These people are the ones you want on your team and in your organization.

When I was younger and played sports, coach would always say, “you will play as hard as you practice.” The serious players, the ones that wanted to win, would practice and practice hard. They wanted to make themselves better than anybody out there. I realize that this same principle works in your network marketing business.

The serious players will be the ones burning the midnight oil on leadership training. Writing the articles and making the videos. Connecting with people and mentors that will make them better than anyone out there. That will make more effective leadership. Remember the cream will rise to the top.

These are the leaders that you want on your team. These are the leaders that you must become. The leader that can grow and mature and build an organization. One that he can lead and duplicate himself through. No one makes it to the top by himself.

Network marketing is not about sales, it’s about leadership development. Qualify people to join your organization. Be selective and your organization will reward you with true leaders and a residual income that can last a lifetime. One that you can pass down to your kids and grand kids.

Remember. Wealth is not measured by how much money you have. It’s measured by how much time you have. Your hard work today will pay you for a long long time down the road.

Now I have to go. I have a tee time in an hour.
