So you have a Home Based Business. Now what do you do? Your Sponsor tells you to go out and SELL your opportunity. Right?  Don’t do it… The reason is this. Ask yourself if someone approached you like you are taught to approach others, would you like it? I don’t think you would. It is because 92% of the population today do not like to be sold. So why sell them.

When you begin a home business there are some skills you will need to learn outside of the companies way of doing business. The company can show you the products and marketing plan, however you need to learn the mlm basics of building a business. Your sponsor may have a duplicatable system in place to help you find people to talk too, however people are your product. You will have to learn how to talk with people, what to say, how to say it and become a good listener of your prospects.

There will be obstacles that will get in the way of learning how to build a home business. Let me share with you a few tidbits that I have learned along the way that will cut your learning curve down and save you some time.

First, know that you will have to learn People skills. Contact me for a free downloaded audio on Colors To Success.

Second is that you will have to learn how to manage your time. Your most valuable asset is your time, so learn to effectively use it. When learning a new skill, make sure there are NO distractions so that you can focus your time effectively.

Third, master the art of advertising one method at a time. Become good at one thing before moving onto something new. This will cut down the confusion of what you should be doing.

Fourth, Learn to tell stories, Stories do the selling for you. You do not have to be a product expert to share a product with a customer. Share your experience and point them to a place to read about a product.

Fifth, Learn the skill of listening. People want to be heard and if you learn this skill, you will see a major increase in your sales, because your prospect will feel you care.

Building an MLM Business is work. It has become a profession that many professional people are looking into as a way to become financially free. Everyone from stay at home moms and dads to professional people, attorney’s, doctor’s etc are joining a home based MLM business today. They know it is not a selling business. It is a business where one person can learn the skills and apply them in a business and earn an income from home. It all begins with learning the skills.

There’s an exhaustion factor that kicks in when somebody signs up to join your MLM company, especially if they’ve been thinking about it for awhile. When they commit their time and dedication to your opportunity, they know it is a hard thing to do.

The problem is, they feel they don’t have to do anything else. They finally committed, now their done. To get them to do the business and participate is the most important MLM sponsoring secrets.

There is Tons of excitement up to this point. Learning about your opportunity, looking at others, figuring out which is best for them. Then making the decision and committing to it. So Now, it’s like they’re done.

They receive literature from the company, emails from you, and none gets opened. The excitement just doesn’t carry over to actually building the business from their first decision to build it.

How and what can you do to avoid this?

Tease them. Yes that’s right. Send them and email as soon as they sign up, with why they joined. What they told you they were looking for. Tease them about what to expect. Inform them on how they will have dozens of people who will be calling on them because they will become the leader that others is looking for. Help them to feel the excitement they are about to get into .

Remind them of why they made this decision and keep their goals and dreams in front of them whenever you can. Get them excited about doing the business.

Help them to get focused on a whole different kind of excitement. The excitement of helping people come through that decision process. Discuss with them what it is they think is will be a fun and exciting way to build their business. Walk them through the many different options of building a business. Share with them different ways that you build your business. Share the different marketing materials and how to best use them in the market place.

Help them to connect with their passion and help them to tap into that passion. Write down a bulleted list of candidates to talk to about their new business.

One of the most critical MLM sponsoring secret is to make this opportunity something they’d NEVER give up on. Have them to make a lifetime committment to the business.

Don’t believe this deal is done just because they have signed up and gone on a monthly easy ship program.  It is critical that you work with that new person until you have helped them to sponsor their first few new reps into their business. Then you will have duplicated your efforts and begin to build a team. Get them excited and keep them excited.

Social Media has really become a way to build relationships online. Whether is is Facebook, Myspace, or any Other Media site to get to know people.  There is a Science to learning how to effectively use these sites to maximize your return on the time you invested in them.

One thing I have learned is that whatever you are building, whether it is a product driven company or a service company you want to make sure you have a main page to bring people or clients back too. I like to call it my central hub. The Main page. In this process everyone will come back to your main page and get to read more about YOU and what you can do to help someone. Make sure you also have a contact page with your details on it so people can call you.

When wanting to build your business through social media networking sites, it is about getting to know people. Don’t just go an add people to your friends list without reading their profiles. It is important to know who you are building a relationship with. They will also appreciate that you took the time to get to know them.

Also when you are bringing people back to your central hub, you will want to have resources on your page that will keep your readers coming back. Stay consistant with posting to your hub and delivering good content to your readers. Be helpful and you will find that people will begin to contact you by phone and or email for help. It is truly about providing help to people.

To learn more about how to effectively use Social networking sites and to build the relationships necessary to build a business then contact me and let me know How I can help you.

Recruit, boy do I dislike that word.
I prefer to use Sponsor, so let’s begin with the difference.

When someone speaks of recruiting, I have seen what this word means.
It means to put someone in a business downline and leaving them to fend  for themselves. Leaving them helpless.

Sponsoring on the other hand is what I do. I sponsor a person in my organization and I teach them HOW to build a business. From the ground up. It is about being there throughout their journey to the top.

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make, is thinking that
sponsoring is a one-shot, all-or-nothing event.  Actually, it’s a
process. A Teaching and Mentoring Process. It is ONGOING and this is a good thing. This mean you have built a good friendship with someone you will be in business with forever.

Your goal shouldn’t be to sell or “close” anyone, but rather to
give the prospect enough information, so they can make the best
decision for them. Only sponsor people whom you would like to spend a one month cruise with.

Unlike sales, where often you are taught to close people,
in Network Marketing we are looking for people motivated
enough to take action themselves. People with a desire for more
out of life.

It’s not about convincing people or changing their beliefs, as much
as it is about finding the people who are open to what you have.
It is a sorting process, where the prospect indicates their level
of interest. We are only looking for the volunteers who are coachable.
If someone gives many excuses as to why they haven’t read the material then these are NOT good prospects. Move on.

What we offer is freedom. Never lose the vision of that. It is helping
others to achieve their dreams and goals.

Of course, the first question that comes up is when speaking with a prospect is where do you find these people? This is where the Mentoring and Teaching comes into play. Most people know about social societies and networks to build relationships with. I can show you where to find these people.

Nobody can build a business alone. You have to have a team and people showing you HOW to Sponsor People into your business. Don’t let someone just recruit you, you are worth more than that.

This was something I really wanted to learn HOW to do. How to have people coming to me, buying from me and associating with me. Everyone wants to know how to do this. One thing I have learned is that not Everyone wants what I have to offer. So once you understand that the rest will come alittle bit easier.

No one said that Network Marketing would be Easy. It does take work. Consistant Work.  So for you to set yourself apart from YOUR competition you will have to become ATTRACTABLE. Not just a pretty figure, but in whole as a person.  I have found a system online that has taught me HOW to set myself apart from the competition and have people searching ME out. Now isn’t that what we all want?

Here is what I have learned.

==> The importance of having a clearly-defined identity in your prospect’s mind, and how to do it.

==> How to give your prospect a reason to choose YOU, vs. all the other companies & sponsors they could choose.

==> What do people’s personalities want – demand? – in a sponsor?

==> Step-by-step, how do you position yourself over your competition in your prospect’s mind?

==> How do you hold onto your customers AND at the same time help your competitors’ customers?

==> How to set up a race designed for YOU to win, and then run THAT race.

==> And much, much more!

The ability to differentiate yourself from your competition could grow your organization much faster than you ever imagined.

As you may or may not be aware of, there are places on the internet called Social Networking Sites or Social Media sites.  Just like coffee houses where people would get together and get caught up on what has been happening in the world today, or staying in contact with business associates, these sites are really for one purpose. To Socialize – to build relationships and truly get to know someone. Not to pitch them on a product or business opportunity.

My first look into social networking was in a meetup group. You can find one local to you by visiting meetup.com online. Great place to find people locally to get to know too.  Anyhow, I joined one of these groups for networking and attended for about 4 months. Made some really nice friends there and shared biz cards, and such. What I observed during this time was that the organizer had one thing on their mind….. To Sell their product and the meeting became all about them. WRONG thing to do…

Social networking Sites and local meetings are to learn about people, what their needs are and help provide that to them. I am in Facebook and the many other sites to see what I can do to help someone else’s life become better. Isn’t this what Networking is all about? I believe so.

If you have struggled in these Social sites, then how about doing this… Start building relationships with your friends or followers, they accepted your friendship to get to know you, not for you to pitch them on a deal or product. So instead of sending your business link, send them to your blog so they can get to know YOU. Do that and you will see a difference in the amount of people you have to talk to who ask YOU what you do.  So the Role of Social Networking sites is to build relationship and a network of like minded people who know that it is all about Referring others to someones product or service. Bringing Value to one’s life.  Practice this, you will be amazed at the results.

I have read alot of great copywriters info on writing a good article. However it never really seemed to be me…. Sounds familiar?

Well I have a very Good Friend that I met about 6 maybe even 7 years ago. His name was Dave Cones. He was able to teach me so many things to implement into my business. One of them was how to write effective Ad copy.

I used the information he shared on many tele-seminar calls he did through the Mentoring For Free System. Yes all for FREE. Those that learned from him went on to become Great Writers and they too are now sharing what they have learned. Gotta Love it. Passing it On!

Here is a tip for ya. When writing articles or ad copy, write from the heart and write what you know. You don’t have to be an expert to begin. Just begin.

The object is the ability to convey your message to prospects in such a way that they are motivated to take the next step. This is the key. Getting people to take the next step.

Regardless of  your writing ability there is one thing that must be done over and over again, In Marketing it is COPY, COPY, COPY and then TEST, TEST, TEST,  COPY, COPY, TEST, TEST.

Yes this does sound repetitious however by writing ads this way you will pull people to you who will want to buy from you. This is what sets you apart from the masses who are just throwing their info out there and hoping someone will bite. Perfect what you do and you will attract the write buyers or partners into your business.

I look forward to sharing more tips with you from what I have learned from Dave and hope to have a special call with Dave like we used to do.

If you wish to learn more about advertising or branding yourself, please get ahold of us so we can share with you what is working in our marketing efforts.

Onwards & Upwards Dave always say’s.

Why do you wish to get into Network Marketing?

Did You Know That Your Why is Your Road Map to Your Success?

You must learn how to drill down into the ‘core’ of your heart and uncover your WHY (Core Desire) for this is the switch to that unstoppable Conquering Force that resides within you.

We have a foolproof way for people to accurately identify their “WHY” .  If you have a 60 on the Why (Core Desire) scale then you will get to 60% of your Goal.  The day that there is an obstacle bigger than your Why (Core Desire) it will stop you as surely as a dam stops the water from flowing.

To discover your WHY (Core Desire), you must pay very close attention to your TRUE feelings that you experience as you ask yourself two basic questions.

The first question gets you started toward identifying your Why (Core Desire) and the first answer or two is rarely the real answer.

1: ‘What Would I Like to Have That I Don’t Currently Have?’

The Second Question Really Gives You Your Why (Core Desire):

2: ‘If I Had That, What Would That Give Me That I Don’t Already Have?’

Keep asking yourself that after each answer until you get to your Why (Core Desire).  You will know when you discover your Core Desire because it is always accompanied by an intense, (sometimes emotional), reaction.  You will know it when it happens.  Whys (Core Desires) are the only reason people succeed at anything.

Master this, and you will live a life full of joy and satisfaction.

Please do this exercise for yourself and your family. You will see that not only will your business begin to grow, but so will your life. To learn more about how to participate with like minded people who will teach you more about how to become the person you need to be for others to follow, then participate in our 30 Day Cleanse that will help you to stop the chatter in your mind so that you can develop Your WHY.

You Deserve Success,
