What is YOUR Plan B?

Posted on by

If you are gainfully employed and moving ahead in life I salute you. The title of this short article has to do with what have you put together as a “Plan B” in case something happened and your current employment suddenly ended? That can happen, you know…

Accidents happen. I have a good friend who travels for a major corporation and he was injured in an automobile accident, NO fault of his own… other than he was ‘where he was’ when two BIG trucks came together and he was stuck in the middle. Many surgeries later… he is finally back to work and when I asked him what HIS backup plan was… he honestly didn’t have one… but I believe he soon may.

Companies go out of business. Take BLOCKBUSTER for example. The employees, the managers and the owners were all going along just fine. They showed up for work, did their jobs and NO fault of their own… they were all let go (with the exception of a few stores that stayed open because they were PRIVATELY owned.) What happened? A company called NETFLIX. That’s what! Who wants to go out to rent a video tape when you can simply look online and click to watch it right on your computer or television and never leave the comfort of your home? And the selections are HUGE and ever increasing. I wonder how shocked the majority of the Blockbuster employees were? Did any of them have a “Plan B”?

Weather related events can change your life too! If you’ve paid ANY attention to the weather news lately I am satisfied that you have heard of at least one or two events that would have changed YOUR life had you lived where those events were happening. Mother Nature has a way of showing up when you least expect her and sometimes her visits are totally destructive. What would be your “Plan B” if the facility where you work was destroyed by a flood, a hurricane or tornado? How many months would it take, if ever, for things to get back to normal for the company, much less you? Would you survive financially if that happened?

Why am I asking all these painful questions?

I honestly don’t have a DARK side. I am just being realistic and a ‘bit’ dramatic to make a point and that is… It’s often good to have a Plan B. What would you do if…? And what could you do if…?

One of the simplest things anybody can do is do some marketing online and create a decent income stream. What? You don’t know how? You wouldn’t have a clue what to do? Or what to sell? You hate selling?

There are a million reasons NOT to do what I just suggested and then… there are many people making MILLIONS doing just that. So, what is it?

Have I peaked ANY curiosity here? Would you take a look if I offered you a F.ree 10 day (online) course where you could get an idea what is involved? You can do the whole course on your phone, tablet or computer. Oh, and by the way, the gentleman who presents the course is an 8 figure earner! So he knows from where he speaks. He has the experience, the expertise, and he shares if with you for 10 days. After that, it’s up to you to decide if that is something that would work for you.

What is your Burning DESIRE?

Posted on by

In reviewing Chapter 9 of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” which is entitled ‘Persistence’ the author states that Persistence is based on definite causes.

The second most important cause in the list of eight is DESIRE.

So we must ask, just how serious are you about achieving your #1 Goal in life? That is why you burn the ‘midnight oil’ isn’t it?

That’s why you are looking for success. That’s why you’re reading this article. So how seriously do you want it? How much DESIRE is there in your heart?

Thanks for reading. What is YOUR DESIRE?

Six Psychological Sales Triggers

Posted on by

By using these Six Psychological Sales Triggers in every ad, sales letter and website… you quickly get people to gothrough the three steps of what?

Know you, Like you, Trust you.

Now, what are the Six Psychological Triggers?

1. Liking
2. Commitment
3. Consistent Behavior
4. Reciprocation
5. Social Proof
6. Scarcity

Sales people used maybe one or two of these things when they do sales presentations. And that got me thinking, you know, if you use one or two of these things together and it did so well, what would happen if you put all six of them together? And you know, when I started doing that, it was terrific. Because I was hitting more and more emotional, psychological buttons when I would talk to people or write them a letter.

Now, you can do this very, very, quickly. You can do it over a 90 minute talk, you can do it in a three minute video, you can do it on a post card. You can establish all six of these things in real short order. And the way I suggest you to start trying to do it, is when you write emails to people, have a little index card and write those six things on there, in that order, and see if you can cover all those basis in some way, in little emails that you send out.

I mean person emails. Don’t try it on your business people yet, but just get in the habit of using them. Say I went to a conference this weekend with America’s number one home inspector, business and marketing expert, Ken Compton.

Now when you’re telling a buddy about this, what did you just do? You just established Ken Compton, pretty high and mighty in the field of home inspection, didn’t you? To your friend. Not only is he really brilliant in that way, but he’s one of the most likable guys you’ll ever meet. Did I hit number two?

Okay, he taught us step by step by step how to better run our business and market our business, so that we could make more money in less time than we’ve ever done before. Ken was so cool that I asked him, or Ken was so good that I asked him, do you have anything that I can share with my buddies back home that would clue them in on what a great group this is? And he allowed me to give you this CD. He is already got over (fill in the blank) 100 members, and they’re growing at about 27% per month across America. I understand that he and a fellow named Joe are going to do a USA tour for home inspectors, but I also understand they have very limited seating in their upcoming presentations and workshops that they’re doing. So after you listen to that CD, I know there’s a website address that you can go to, and sign up. And I really recommend that you take advantage of this, just like I did.

Now, did I hit all six of those things? Yeah. Now, if I could respond to that real quick, and that was how many paragraphs if I wrote it? Maybe three or four? Now, if somebody talked to you in that way, and they knew you were here this weekend, would that have an influence on what they do with that CD? Yeah, I think so. Now, could you craft something better than what I just said off the top of my head? I think you could. I think I could, anyway. But that’s the basis. You see how you can run quickly through those six things, and really establish a pretty good story …

How do YOU build YOUR list in Network Marketing?

Posted on by

If you’ve been in Network Marketing (NWM) for more than a few years you have probably been through the list building challenges. You’ve probably had your upline push you to reach out to anyone that gets within three feet of you. You do your best to get a name and phone number so you can call them later and see if they’re interested in building a home based business.

If you’re an introvert as I was when I first started in NWM you probably had a VERY short list. I know I did. And as a result… I didn’t have much of a business. I went to more meetings and seminars than I care to remember. I had more “no-shows” at business presentations and home meetings. Was I frustrated and going broke fast? Yes I was and that probably showed in my desperate pleas for people to show up which likely resulted in low quality prospects… more like suspects!

For sure, I got a few friends and family to buy a few products and I even managed to get some people to sign up and one or two actually ‘did something’ other than beg me for free samples.

If that sounds anything like how it might have been for you… I can certainly sympathize.

Now, “what if” you could be in the best NWM company of YOUR chosing and NOT have to go through all that “contacting” stuff and successfully build a huge business? Would that interest you? If it does, please comment with #MORE INFO.

Truth be told, I believe Network Marketing is one of the easiest ways to create true Residual Income and you can do it At Home and Online. Now, here is the kicker…

I have discovered, much by accident (I thought), a group that is teaching Network Marketers how to market their businesses online using Social Media and hear this: When done correctly, you can have interested people (we still call them Prospects) reaching out to you asking for more information or simply to sign them up. How’s that for a switch?

How would YOU like to be making the switch FROM having to actually go out to the mall, to stores or anywhere people hangout to build your list TO… sitting at home in whatever you’re comfortable in, making a few posts on Facebook and other social media platforms to build your list and sign up new reps in your business?

If making that switch would work for you, I have good news for you. It’s easier than you think. I’m older than most of the members of the group and if I can do it… any of you youngsters who live on your phone or computer can do it.

There’s no charge to take a look at what we’re doing. Simply take a look. Sign up for the Free 10 Day Affiliate Marketing Bootcamp. That way you get to see what it is we’re doing and how it works.

Winning In the Network Marketing Business

Posted on by

Many of us have been in the Network Marketing (NWM) business for years and wondered when, if ever, we would find the success that we so badly want. Traditional methods for building NWM businesses have frustrated many of us and I can say personally that they simply did not work for me. I’ve been in search of “the path” that would lead me to the success I so dearly yearn for and finally I believe I have found that path that will assist me in reaching my goals.

If you have suffered along in your NWM program and failed to reach the achievement levels you set your sights on, you will find some fresh ideas and so much help with the team that I have found. I believe you will find the success you want and deserve by following their suggestions. To learn about the team I have discovered, CLICK HERE.

Until next time,
