Why Pitching Friends & Family is as Bad as Cold Calling in Your Network Marketing Home Based Business

Posted by | Posted in Business, Marketing, Network Marketing, Networking, Opportunities, Prosperity | Posted on 05-06-2009

Hello hello,

A lot of people get excited over network marketing because their
looking to make money and the leverage of the business model
makes great sense.

If your not in that boat I would like you to compare it  to that of
a brick and mortar business or traditional employee.

The downfall in most network marketing opportunities is the marketing
system. Most companies tell their distributors to make a list of friends
and family and buy leads to cold call.

Sound familiar and or exciting…?

If you have ever tired this I am sure you can attest to the success it
achieves… Not!

The reasons for this are simple.

1) For starters most of your friends and family are not entrepreneurial minded.
2) People like to Buy but they do not like to be sold.

So then how do you go about recruiting people into your business…?

Become the hunted not the hunter!

There is know shortage of people looking to join your business. In fact over 70 000
Americans alone start a home business every day.

Learn how to attract people to you through attraction marketing and watch your leads,
prospects and team members grow.

***Some quick tips to help you out and they stem from the saying  “Less is More.”

- Do Not tell people or talk to people about your network marketing business unless
they ask.

- Do Not throw-up on people with information about your business.

- Do Not get into answering tons of questions, your system should be able to do that
for you, point people in the right direction – make them work a bit, this is a business they
are after ;-)

- Do Not hype, smart people are immune to hype and those that buy into it you do not
want on your team.

- Gain the sixth sense to know when your dealing with someone who wants to change
there life or someone that wants to waste your time. This will come through experience
but will ultimately be your best skill.

- Lastly relate to people on a non-business level, that why they call it “Networking.”

[Network Marketing] What Do Forbes Magazine, Donald Trump And Robert Kiyosaki Say About ‘This’ Industry? All Review!

Posted by | Posted in Abundance, Business, Direct sales, Donald Trump, MLM, Network Marketing, Opportunities, Robert Kyosaki, Wealth | Posted on 01-05-2009

G’day,

79,000,000 (yes million) Americans plan to start their OWN
businesses in the next 3 years (Forbes Magazine). The great
majority will do it through a Network Marketing / Direct Sales
model.

In fact, both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki recommend
the Network Marketing industry in their latest book: “Why We
Want You To Be Rich.”

Trump and Kiyosaki BOTH say that if they had to do it all over
again, they would build their fortunes in THIS industry. Oh! I
almost forgot, Warren Buffet also bought a half dozen or so
Network Marketing companies in the last few years…

In fact in Trump and Kiyosaki’s book “Why We Want You To
Be Rich,” they dedicate an ENTIRE chapter to it! (chapter 25).
This is the only business model they wrote a WHOLE chapter
on.

NOTE! — NOT ‘M L M’ though…..they do not mention M L M
even once in their book. There is a major, major difference between
“true” Network Marketing and M L M that most will never know….

The Realities of Free Social “Media” Not Marketing Vs. Pay per Click Marketing

Posted by | Posted in Abundance, Business, Direct sales, Happyness, Marketing, Network Marketing, Networking, Opportunities, Prosperity, Wealth | Posted on 19-04-2009

Social Media Marketing comes in many different forms and platforms. You have the more serious business related sites like LinkedIn and Ecademy, or the friendlier places such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube. You set up your profile, and attract friends. How you monetize your friends is a different story. Simply because it is the same reason why offline, old school network marketing is such a struggle. Your friends be it real actual friends or complete strangers don’t want to be pitched to. Why because people like to buy but not be sold. There is a very different psychology in the two mindsets.

The thing most people do not realize about social media is that it is a real process to be successful. Providing useful content which gives great value is what people are looking for online from these social web 2.0 platforms. A good idea is to create a blog and send everybody from all your social networks to your blog. From your blog you can direct people over to your landing page with a lead capture box as by this point people are ready to see what business you have to offer. This is specifically how I teach my team members at CCPRO my primary business to run theirs and I suggest you acquire the same practice if you are to be successful with social media. Remember that not always will you see sales from your direct friends but with the right approach they will refer you to their friends which will allow you an easier in.

Pay Per Click on the other hand is an internet marketing method used on search engines like: Google, Yahoo and MSN, as well as across the content networks through these search engines but on partnering websites other like blogs. The benefits to pay per click is that when someone clicks on an ad, they are more inclined to be in a buying mind frame than a social setting where they are just wanting to browse pictures and find friends.

Websites that use PPC have a system where when the keyword query matches an advertisers list of keywords, the advertisements otherwise known as sponsored links or sponsored ads will appear on the page results. That’s why there is always some ads related to what you’re looking for lurking around the corner.

So which works better? There is no comparison that PPC can drive more laser targeted traffic to your website but PPC costs money where social media costs time. Thus depending on your available resources you would have to identify what you see as a better fit. Ideally you would like to be able to do both and or work your budget up to being able to play ball in the PPC arena.

The Benefits of being a Foreigner with a US Company

Posted by | Posted in Abundance, Business, Direct sales, Happyness, Marketing, Money, Network Marketing, Networking, Opportunities, Prosperity, Wealth | Posted on 03-04-2009

The United States of America, the land of Dreams for a lot of people, including business men and women. People from all over the world go to the States to become actors and actresses, musicians and rappers, chefs and sports icons. But it’s not just American Idol they want to be a part of;  it’s the American Company that they want to own.
The interesting thing about American companies from a network marketer’s perspective when living abroad and being a foreigner is the currency exchange to start with. Being Canadian and living in Australia where both currencies are undervalued to the Greenback makes for increased commissions. I always thought how cool it would be to be a professional athlete in the NHL, NBA or NBL and play for Toronto, the city I grew up in. Why?  Because you get paid in USD and benefit from the increase in  currency exchange. While being a network marketer for CCPro and living in Australia and running my business through Canada, I have figured out how to create this reality. When I sponsor distributors in these countries they too seem to really dig the concept.
I must admit that it is straight forward to run your business living in America where everything is traded in your domestic currency. Moreover, form the UK’s point of view the product buy in is less expensive, so really their should not be a matter  of location holding you back from any business opportunity. If there is one present in your head realize it doesn’t not go past there, as there are lots of distributors worldwide for most business opportunities. Here at CCPRO we have members in over 13 countries and counting. One of the amazing stories I came across recently was a US soldier running his CCPRO business from the sands of his army base in Afghanistan.
However as comfortable with the long distance as I am now, I was not always this way. In fact shortly after I joined I was nervous if CCPRO could work from Sydney Australia. Within two weeks I bumped into two guys at the Franchise expo that rented a 10K weekend booth to market the business. They agreed that 10K would have been better spent on Google PPC but it was then that I had received the social proof I needed to make it work and I am glad I have not looked back.

Retirement Dreams with a Juicy Pension Plan

Posted by | Posted in Abundance, Business, CCPRO, Happyness, Money, Network Marketing, Networking, Opportunities, Prosperity, Wealth | Posted on 29-03-2009

When we were kids we all had dreams of being a Firefighter, Doctor, Lawyer, Pro Athlete or Star to name a few. Then we get to high school and dreams along with everything change. Change doesn’t stop there. We graduate from high school and for those of us who are lucky, we get into great colleges and graduate and become professionals. Some are not as fortunate and get stuck with whatever work we can find. Never the less, a job is a job. It pays for the bills, you have a home, you live within your limits and then one day we all, college graduates or not, well off or not, filthy rich or not so much, get married and have kids and eventually retire from our jobs with a nice pension plans that keeps you and your loved one happy. Or so we thought it would end up that way.Welcome to 2009 where hardly anyone can keep up with mortgage payments, many people have lost their homes and their jobs and their investment nest egg has been slashed. We are not the only ones. This is the way things are going all over the world and it sure isn’t pretty. Problems used to be things we could deal with and move on from. To date know one has moved on from the crisis almost every nation faces.

We thought hiding our money in the banks were safe bets. Some of these banks have closed down. We thought buying stock could bring us the extra cash we needed one day and those have lost value. Even selling your homes which was supposed to be the final exit plan is the dream that we have woken up from and it’s like believing in Santa Clause (don’t tell your kids). So what is going to save us from all this? If you can’t get a j.o.b (just over broke), what is left? Well, you can start a business.

Traditional Brick and Mortar business no, Online Home Business, yes! The benefits of an Online Home Based Businesses are the single reason the industry is booming. No rent, no utility bills, no staff, no employee benefits and no traveling to and back from your 2 hour away work place. No fines, no dressing up, no boss, no schedule. It’s you, your computer and the internet.

The list of the kinds of businesses you can do online is endless so it can fit your lifestyle, your knowledge and be what you want it to be. All you need is the proper research and the will. Sure people fail all the time, but it’s because they either don’t try hard enough, they expect to earn millions over night or they just don’t do the proper research. Like people say, you can find anything on the internet. So if you’re joining a company then read up on them. If you’re doing it on your own ask advice. Read and read till you’re sure. And don’t expect that just because it’s a Online Home Business it’s as easy as throwing a ball. You need to work hard on it as it is all yours and its boom is all up to you.
