Key Elements to Understanding the Mindset of Your Future Prospects

August 8, 2016

What are the key elements of understanding the mindset of future and potential prospects? We make cold calls and never take the time to review their profile on such platforms as LinkedIn, Facebook and so many other social media platforms that will provide you priceless information on the person your calling.

Sales are all based on an essential element of understanding their emotional state and how you will approach this client. People buy items when you have them in an emotional state, not a logical state. When they are in a  logical state, it means they are thinking and reviewing everything that you have shared.  Why would anyone spend $100,000.00 on a brand new vehicle when a $20,000.00 car provides the same results getting you from point "A" to point "B."

There is not one single logical reason that says you have to spend $100,000.00 on a vehicle. If you can think of one logical reason, please do share it with us. They bought that vehicle based on their minds being in an emotional state, and they saw themselves as someone special, better than most it increased their status symbol all emotional reason not one is a logical reason.

In most cases people who buy high ticket items barely can afford the payments, there are exceptions of course there are. If your wealthy you can do whatever you want in most cases, but I am talking about the average hard working "blue-collar" type of people that exist. So your job is to understand who you're dealing with and making sure you're understanding when you first speak to a client there mindset is at a logical state. Now you need to convert and shift their thinking to an emotional state.

 How do you do this? This will apply to any industry that involves selling you need to know your product inside out, have proven testimonials from past clients. An excellent sales staff is well trained understands that painting a story is the best way to selling anything, people listen to stories and visualize themselves owning that product in their mind. This is very effective if you're in the automotive industry. People see themselves taking their first trip, what will their neighbors, friends say about what they have just purchased, it is all about status and feeling good about your investment.

People will only buy, or join your business if they feel that you understand their need, they have confidence in you as a professional, people purchase items or join companies because they have faith in you and the information you have provided and shared with them. Why it is so important to listen to the needs of your customers. When you listen to your prospect, you know exactly what they are looking for. "There is an old saying people do not like to be sold but love to buy." Keep this in mind at all times.

Selling is a process, and you need to have an updated process, continuous training, learning all you can see about all the latest developments within your industry. Customers want to feel confident with who they are dealing with, so you need to be as competent as possible with your product your selling. Why the first impression is so important with any type of communication with another human. When you understand your product and how it will solve or improve a potential client is how sales are generated in a down market or any other type of market. Sales is an Art, it is why some are very successful in this industry, they have master the skills at all levels of the process.

Regardless of what you are selling, the purpose of business is all about making your client and company's life better. When both parties feel like they got exactly what they were looking for it is a win, win situation for both sides. The best source of new prospects will always be the ones that get referred to you and your company. They already know something about who you are as a leader in this industry and feel confident you will provide them with the solutions they need.

Selling beginnings after the sales are made, a good salesperson will follow up with their new client and ask them generic questions making sure they are still very satisfied and if they have any issues that need to be addressed. You have just done something 97 percent of the sales staff never do, a follow-up call. It is an excellent time if they are totally satisfied to ask for a referral. A simple question like do you know anyone who will also benefit from what you have just purchased? People love to talk about who they are and what they have, what a concept?

Good sales people never run out of prospects, because all the 
referrals they get from past sales,  they keep in contact with their clients, 
always there to help them with any problem they may have.

What if you were able to brand yourself like no one else in your industry? Would this get your attention? I will share some information that could change how you are performing with your prospects and closing ratio, the only number that matters.
 Do you know your closing ratio?

The Importance of This Asset with Your Retirement Planning

August 4, 2016


The hardest obstacle we face daily is meeting all of our financial obligations. With so much going out each day, week or on a monthly base, so how do we control all that we spend and perhaps cut down with some of the bills and convert them into part of our savings plans for the future.

Most people spend more time and energy planning their vacation than they do planning their retirement. You have to make a conscious effort each and every day of reviewing your accounts, and see what is going out and what is coming in. If you did this each and every day, you would find bills that could be avoided or reduced and taking that money and putting it into a savings account that provides you with a much better return than banks will pay you with interest.

So what is this Asset that I mentioned on the subject line all about? The asset is "Gold," one that can not be reproduced and it will always maintain its real value with inflation. Let's illustrate an example an ounce of gold had a value of $35.00 US Dollars back in the 1930's. The ounce of gold had a value of also $35.00 US Dollars, fair to say they both had the same purchasing power back in the 1930's. The ounce of gold and the paper money at the time; it could buy you a new suit, a pair of shoes, dinner for two, go and watch a movie with your sweetheart, order soft drinks, along with popcorn and fill your vehicle with gas.

Now let's fast forward this to August 2016, the paper money is still worth approximately $35.00 US Dollars, but the ounce of gold has a current market value $1,360.00 US Dollars. With the paper money, you would be lucky to get two people going to a movie and buying some soft drinks and popcorn, forget about all the other items that the paper money had the ability to purchase back in the 1930's. But if you had an ounce of gold, it would still provide you with all the items it purchased back in the 1930's and with some money left over. 

If you would like to understand more about this asset and what it can do for your financial future you can register as a "Free Partner" it will provide you access to all the same features in the back office as if you were a "Paid Partner." What do you have to lose? 

Once you have reviewed all the features and information and the benefits of acquiring gold in small denominations of gold, 1 gram, 2.5 grams or 5 grams. If you decide to make a bigger purchase, it is all up to you. Now you can afford to buy gold since you do not have to buy an ounce and lay out $1,360.00 with gold's current market value. The best part of it all, when you are ready to sell it, you can sell it back to the company at the current market value of what gold is valued at.

If you like what you have read and checked out everything that this company can do for you and your family, send me an email to jfbmarketing@gmail.com, and l will send you more information that explains this opportunity in much greater detail.

Regardless of what you do in life, you will always need a map, drawing of what you desire in life. Than you can visualize your purpose in life, why complicated it. How buildings are designed with a picture of what it will look like. Same as our life's.


This is not the fiat currency, but a much more superior one.

Learning the steps and secrets of how to recruit

June 30, 2016

Imagine if you could do this, your biggest obstacles with any industry your are involved with. Without prospects, you have absolutely no way of generating a return on your investment. Investments have many meanings, you either invested money or a combination of the worst possible investment, Time, and money, one of them you will never get back. Simple fact!

There are so many programs out there that only have one goal how much can they generate from suckers like us. Hey, I have researched most of them, yes they have merit, for the one's who use it. Most never do, they expect an autopilot type of system. Meaning they have the ability, to do nothing, no magical dust in this industry. It is called Labour by love.

This is what I studied, from my early days of working for (GMDA) General Motors Dealer Association of Toronto. Training entry level sales representatives, who had no experience what so ever in this very lucrative industry. You write your pay cheque. Hey, I need more money this week, the concept is I know and understand how to generate what I need. Review this article on how to increase your paycheck daily. Read More!

So what are the steps for success in recruiting more prospects no different than walking up a ladder? Miss a step you will fall, makes sense. Correct? You need to understand you are dealing with ego's, period. Like mastering the ability to solve a quadratic equation. The Very complicated process, so why make it so difficult? The lost ability in life today, people do not listen to understand, they listen so they can reply. Think about what I just wrote, we all have done this.

Having a mindset with the only thing you need to remember is to listen, it is pretty confusing to many. Not really our fault, just how we are we react too quickly. At times you need to take a deep breath and listen and play the game I call ping pong. He hits the ball, and I hit it back. Other words he asks me a question and I answer it with a question, keep the conversation alive with progression

Dale Carnegie taught this process in "How to Win Friends and Influence People," a best seller. If you have never read this book, please read it and learn from the master. Another one I keep under my bed for the simple reason, it is easily accessible. Is David Schwartz "The Magic of Thinking Big," you need to read this book if you want to make it in any industry.

Prospecting is so simple no different than trying to get a date, all you want is the ability to share some common interests, then make your move. Sounds so easy it is when you think of the ladder one step at a time, miss one you will fall. Listen and then answer the question with a question. Keep the ball coming over the net, and hit it back and you will know if you are on your game he or she will hit it back. Why it is very important to answer a question with a questions keeps the conversation alive.

If you have an interest in this subject, you can post a comment on what your biggest fears are about cold calling, prospect, being able to do more three-way calls, with someone who understands more than you. People join companies not because of the rewards, but for the individual who introduce them to the opportunity. If you are going to make it in this industry, you need to become an "Alpha Type of Person" only three percent make it or have this ability.

This article is not an overnight success story, hell not even charging a dime what so ever. That has to be a relief? What you need to do is read the two above books I shared with our readers. Becoming good at what you do takes time, repetitiveness is the mother skill, so you need to practice. If you want to learn what I mentioned in the title, follow this blog. Some of the answers are on this blog, read more on prospecting.

I will teach you the art of seduction at a level your in total control. People, unfortunately, are looking for that magical dust I said earlier. Not going to happen, at all. When you read them two books and follow this, you will see why recruiting is so simple.


Do not forget to leave your thoughts, much appreciated.

How to Increase Your Ability to Hustle with Your Desire

June 24, 2016

What is the actual meaning of the word hustle, how can it increase your passion with your desire? It's great to have the desire, goals, dreams, and passion in your life. But we all need to understand what our purpose in life is, this is the primary stimulator for achieving our goals.

Let's define what the meaning of our purpose in our lives is without boundaries! We all have a purpose to accomplish a legacy to leave behind for our grandkids to fully understand our accomplishments. Once we know what our purpose in life is, it will become much easier for us to establish our progress towards achieving our mission.

When people say what should my "Life Purpose" be, what they are saying is what can I do with my free time and make it more meaningful.  This is when the verb "Hustle" comes into play if you hustle to accomplish your passion for becoming a musician, you need to understand that your work will be rejected countless times before you hit the right notes, and it becomes excepted.

You need that desire to continue excluding failure as part of your progress. Think of how many times Thomas Edison failed with perfecting the light bulb thousands and thousands of times before he had the perfect working light bulb. Having this type of mindset and understanding each failure gets you one step closer to your mission is vital.

When you were a child, your perspective on life was exclusively different, for the simple reason you had no boundaries and were able to dream about what you wanted to become and achieve with your life. Then we became logical and lost our consciousness and abilities to visualize our dreams, desires and passion for what to do with our time. I wrote this post explaining on what you can do to make yourself unstoppable with your passion.  

You need to define in detail what your Life Purpose is, once you know what you want to dedicate your time to your passion of becoming whatever it is you want to become. It could be anything that provides happiness for you doing this particular type of work. Wow, the process just takes off.  You now have more energy, enthusiasm towards accomplishing your life purpose Your mindset is entirely different. Many people will never understand that passion is the direct result of your actions.

Why it is so important to hustle, when you push your creating results with the actions your taking. You will need to change many of your habits to achieve lasting results that will make your life more meaningful and rewarding. Your ultimate purpose in life is to seek self-actualization a right balance at all levels of your life. Physiological Needs, Safety, Security, Protection, Belonging with Love, self-Esteem, self-respect, healthy with your mind and body, along with creative self-growth.

Understanding and Applying Creative Marketing Concepts!

May 25, 2016

The more creative your title and article becomes, the curiosity factor kicks in, making you stand alone with an audience that will follow and read your articles.  The internet has drastically changed; competition for the same brand is overwhelming, overpowering and creates a tremendous opportunity for you to succeed.  The originality, creativity of headlines is truly none existing when promoting affiliated programs on the internet. They all use the same splash pages, landing pages, links that lead the reader to the same program he just read 15 minutes ago on another social media site.
What if, you were to change all of the rules and make your related links much different than your competition that is promoting the same opportunity that you are?  What would happen is the same thing that just happened to you; l got your attention to read more of what l been sharing with you at the moment.  The most important factor you need to completely understand is that creativity is what sells.  So vital I cannot stress the importance of this strategy from standing out from your competitors. 
How are you going to do this? The main ingredient is your desire to dedicate your talents and abilities in achieving, ingenuity, shrewdness, and level-headedness “Marketing”, called working smart.  You need to understand fully what your “ROI” is (return on investment) your time you have invested and the return you got your efforts.  How much time will you spend with your article to make it stand alone? Why it is so hard to make a dime with affiliated marketing you’re just another link that ends with a number or a unique code that leads back to your back office.
The tools you need to accomplish and master this technique are what l like to use, my “Rev Pages” same concepts as a Fan page on Facebook, but l find them to be more useful for single promotional items. You have the ability to create them, show off your creative skills, and enhance the image of your links with and efficient marketing campaigns, which will have an immediate impact on your audience.   
Let me illustrate this compelling, creative marketing concept for your benefit of getting what you want and the results you visualized in your mind as an “ROI.” If you create and implement these steps, you will institute and establish a loyal following of readers who will share your articles, buy from you and originate a niche market. So let’s get started.

Steps You will want to take
-Create a blog and become a blogger, if you have one, implement and create a niche for your readers.
-Get your readers to follow your blog; subscribe to your blog via e-mail or by RSS feeds.
-Get your readers to share your articles on Facebook,  Twitter, or the many other applications they use.
-Work social media sites productive with your creative abilities, never post anything without reviewing it, this illustrates your raw talents, expertise within your topic. Creates an impressive impression!
-Your ads will stand out, with the key phrases used in your headline to keep your audience reading more about your promotion. Creates a different bounce ratio within search engines, for higher search engine ranking scores.  
-Leave comments on articles you have read on blogs, hub pages, forums and material that has a relevant semi-literate with your niche market.  Will institutes and establishes you with a target and unique market.
Now you’re seeing where this is all going, along with the benefits it will provide you with. Ideas are now dancing in your mind at the moment that you want to try and implement the new strategies.  I will showcase what you have the ability to do all you need to do is a little research to what l have done and carbon copy it with your modifications that suit your desires and requirements. I will provide you with some links for you to view, gather ideas, concepts that you can use with your marketing talents. Below are some links you can review if you have a curiosity to what l am sharing with you.  


Don’t join an easy crowd.  You won’t grow.
