You Joined a MLM or an E-Commerce company and Your failing

February 27, 2016

Wow, this is not working out well before I signed; I was assured this was the primary way of generating an extra few dollars. With this outstanding opportunity, it met all of my requirements.

We all have faced this pitch, approach, and some of us even fell for it sadly but very real within this industry. We as humans are always looking for that magical dust that will provide as with the desires we have been seeking.

It is OK to have dreams, visions, goals and even secret desires that we never share with anyone. In reality, all we ever want is what we envision with our inner conscious mind.

But nothing ever generates a positive avenue that will lead us to the land of milk and honey. One that has a different meaning to the few who make it to this Promised Land.

How do we overcome obstacles and generate success?

We need to do our homework much better; we need a coach that can agree or disagree with your choice. Much cheaper if you have a second, third opinion on your direction.

When I say, we need a coach, the individual that officially sponsored you has to be a leader, one that can keep you focused, updated with the latest events that occur in this program.

We have to be able to achieve success at a very early stage of signing up, with any program. Will determine your future success with any Affiliated Marketing Company you join.

How many conferences calls webinars will you be introduced to and be able to lead your new sign-ups to follow your blueprint for success. Let us be honest, every company you ever joined is about duplication, without duplication, you will never succeed with Affiliated Marketing.

Now that we have some understanding of how these's type of programs work, we can better prepare our mindset, with a successful leader.

What You Should Expect From You're Sponsor?

The key element is how dedicated is he going to be with helping you achieving your success with this new business you are involved with.

How accessible is he when you call or email him? Does he call you right back, or reply to your emails within a short period, or perhaps he never gets back to you to address any concerns or question you may have?

Is he willing to help you do three-way calls, has he provide you with a marketing plan for you to engage with new prospects? How effective is he on the phone with your new prospects.

Is he an active listener, who takes the time to address any concerns, questions you or a member of your downline need to be clarified.

Questions to Ask about the MLM company you're thinking of joining?

-How long has the company been in business?
-Have they ever missed a pay period with their members?
-What is the companies financial situation, debt free?
-Who is the founder and CEO of the company and what is his business track record?
-Did he start off as an affiliate with another company, built a solid reputation for getting things done?

Review many of the frequently asked questions, conditions for MLM companies 

You should examine all of the frequently asked questions before signing up with any MLM or E-Commerce company, regardless of how enticing it is.

Doing your homework will save you time, effort, energy and yes money. Sometimes what someone is asking you to do is not in your best of interest.

Leave us some feedback on some of your experience you have had in this industry.   
All the Best,

"Being a Guest Blogger will Provide Future Potential too You're Site"

February 26, 2016

Many experts in this field will tell you if you ever wanted to create a very sweet blog that has a potential for becoming a superstar in cyberspace. Then guest blogging could provide several key solutions.

So What Is Guest Blogging?

When a blogger writes content for a blog that is not his/hers; they will get all of the credited for the publication along with a very skilled SEO Feature that very few understand, a click back to their blog or website. If your guest blogging within your brand on a very high ranked site, with thousands of daily visitors each day. Then it certainly will entice some of the visitors to check who you are as a writer, author, and perhaps view your site and what you have done. If your delivery good, solid, content that has a benefit to the reader.

Time is the only thing we can never buy, regardless of how well we are off. Just a fact. So we need to invest our time wisely, avoid mistakes at all costs. The odds of success will play into your hand when you have the crystal ball. 

How it All Works?

You need to start reading other blogs within your niche of writing, business or what it is you write and specialize. Once you read a great article, and the site has merit, potential for you as a writer. Then send the owner a message if he would be interested in guest blogging on your site, and you would do the same thing.

You will need to have this tool on your toolbar. Alexa's Ranking Download it, this is valuable information you need to check out. Do not fritter away your time. Study the numbers, but also, make exceptions, with your decision.

Numbers tell a story, but smarts over rank numbers at times, only you understand what you are trying to accomplish, why numbers at times can be miss leading.

Now it's ShowTime, Contacting the Site Owner!

This step is vital, how you come across will determine if he/she listens to your proposal. Simple as that, the key here is how to create better odds for us to enjoy the rewards of his/her blog.  I wrote this step yesterday; you can review the knowledge and skills of achieving this level, for any industry. Read More!

This step is the most important one in becoming a top notice guest blogger, where you become the hunted, not the hunter. It will take time. Why you will need to master each step, you will need to hustle with the right formula.


How Has it worked for Me?

This concept has provided me with many dividends of success; it provide me with opportunities I never actually dreamed about. One of the best guest bloggers I have also encountered a partner of mine we co-wrote the book "The Millionaire Habit," was Don Boyer, who's also involved in one of the businesses I do promote. Don and his wife Melinda are very successful writers, movie producers and have accomplished many outstanding achievements. Currently, on tour with GIN creating exceptional mindsets.

If you read this blog you will see many articles Mr. Don Boyer wrote for this blog. The information is priceless when used and applied daily.

It's all great, but you will have to add a marketing plan in the beginning, yes l will provide you with a comprehensive formula on how to get found in cyberspace, we do need an audience to read, comment on what we do. Read More on How it is Done

Reasons Why This is affordable?

If you're still with me, then you're going to enjoy this journey. Everything we do, we had a reason for implementing it with our concept. We need to become to be the best storytellers that exist.

Learning how to sell with empathy getting your message without selling anything but providing a solution that has positive results. Your prospect was Googling this crucial phrases; you introduced his solutions. Think about it, remember what I said about having a crystal bowl.

The reason it is affordable, there is no fee, not selling you anything other than an opportunity to get an education for a price called your dedication if you can do this. Then you have a future in this industry.

Sad facts, only under 3 percent ever make this a full-time career. Not giving you a pipe dream why would I.  I would feel guilty taking your money knowing you would never do anything.

See my point, why I love the video you will watch, follow this blog. For all the right reasons, could care less if you do or do not. Will not have any effect other than on your success what we do each day research. Not in the babysitting service. 

Gary will show you how to storytelling at a different level, 
sorry, he uses many adverbs, not suitable for all.
All the Best,

You're Best Kept Secret When Engaging With New Prospect

February 24, 2016

What is your best-kept secret for engaging new prospect at its earliest stage? How do you pitch a new prospect without coming across as poverty-stricken? How do you keep the interest level of your new opportunity at the highest echelon of communication? Some of the key questions l feel we all have when prospecting. 

One of the first self-help books that helped me on this subject matter was written by Dale Carnegie How to Win Friends and Influence People, an all-time best seller if you have never read this book buy it as soon as possible read it over and over until the information becomes ordinary with your abilities of communication. 

If you want awareness from your prospects then talk about them, review their profile on LinkedIn, empathize their interest levels, as no one else, has, gather as much information about them as possible before sending a request for friendship on FaceBook, or adding them as a contact to your Social Media Network.

When you send them a request, make it personable, mention an interest that they have or a hobby, something that will intrigue his interest. Getting his interest should be the only aspiration you have with any prospect you're trying to recruit to your Social Network. 

One of the biggest prospects that I recruited took me almost six weeks for him to join the company I was pitching him. I did all the right things, provided him with an emotional attachment, spoke about how impressed I was with his track record within our industry, went to a few of his Webinars; he invited me too. 

The key with me closing him was that I listen to what he was looking for. Once I understand who he was and what he was looking for, I turn my efforts around, and then he asked me the question I was hoping he would have one day? So how do I get involved with what you're doing? 

I was driving at the time when the call took place, so I asked him if he was in front of his computer, he said yes, then I just walked him through the signup process, not only did he sign up he upgraded all in the first step. He has led me to endless streams of Network Marketers that has built my business beyond my wildest dreams. 

He has spoken to my partner on many occasions asking him, how in god's name I ever closed him. My partner asked him, why did he close you? His answer the man was always busy, just give me a  few minutes of his time, that intrigued me, made me just want to work with him.  


Steps You Need to Understand Before Contacting a Future Prospect:

1) Review your prospects Profile on LinkedIn; this gives you the most accurate Profile if he keeps it up to date. What I always use.

2) Gather as much information about his interests, education, accomplishments, hobbies, what businesses his into along with his Social Media Habits. Read some of the articles he has written if any. Should help you with a strategy for getting his attention level and also intrigue him.

3) Use a platform to write out your pitch to him or her so that you will have proper spelling, grammar, I use Grammarly for all of my writing, tweets, it's easy to use. The free version is fine unless you want to upgrade, that is entirely up to you.

4) Should be easy because the most important step is you have listened, read everything he/she has said either via email, telephone conversation.

5) Take one last review of what you send him, if it all looks impressive click the send button.

Reasons You Should Never Pitch a Prospect on You're First Message

February 24, 2016

Why do people pitch you on their first approach, they have no idea who you are, what you do or what you have accomplished. Then they ask you what do you do? Indicates to me he or she has not even taken the time to review your profile. 

Has society changed so rapidly that people forgot about the lost commodity called respect and manners? I see it on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and all the other Social Media sites I belong too. 

What happened to the soft sell, called empathy for one another? If you're going to pitch me, offer a proposal, and you are not even following me. Guess what I am going to unfollow you for the simple reason you hit a nerve or mine. Your trying to pitch me without even following me, or taking the time to review my profile, then having the nerve to ask me what l do.

Indicates to me several things that are going on with your life; you have no class, far from being a professional within our industry. The only thing I see is your greedy emotional side that I have zero desire to work with anyone who has this type of thinking or attitude. Prospecting is an "Art" few ever master this skill. When I was working for (GMDA) General Motors Dealers Association of the Greater Toronto District teaching the skills of selling, prospect, follow up, theses where some of the most important areas we spent time mastering.

I answer ever email that I get via the personal way, not using any auto responder, I do not believe in them. Robots do not read what is in my email, there are always the great possibilities the sender is asking me a question, and I just sent him a generic reply, just killed my reputation. Think about how many missed opportunities we have messed up by using an autoresponder. 

So the next time you send out your first message or email to a new follower, prospect, client think about you are sending them. 

Hope this advice helps you build a relationship so you can sell many opportunities to your prospects. Relationships require time for building lasting successful relationships.

How to Use Google Plus Correctly Creating Results with Your Updates

February 23, 2016

One of the features I enjoy when I am using Google Plus is how fast my page gets placed with Search Engines. Sometimes right after I posted it on Google Plus, I will conduct a search based on my keywords, there it is listed on the first page. The importance of learning how to use Google Plus.

So why would use Google Plus, there are many logical reasons? The one that attracted me the most is how powerful Google is. When you conduct a search, who do you use. Exactly my point. Google has this capability when utilized for all of your extensive searches. No advertising on their home page, what so ever. You get to type your search without any distractions.

Google Plus has zero requirements for you to follow back for your followers to see your post, not like Facebook or many other Social Media Platforms. Google Plus has enhanced the use of hashtags for your branding.  If you review yesterday's post on how to use and attract an endless stream of prospects, you will understand how to use it wisely with compensation.

When someone shares your post on Google Plus, adds a comment to your article. The spiders that crawl your content sees this as valuable information for your page to enjoy a PR Ranking. Meaning the bounce ratio was impressive for the spiders to gather information that was relevant to searches that have been the domino effect on this topic of search.

When you use Google Plus, you get to see your profile picture on your article. This powerful, you're a human that is sharing relevant information with your readers, it will not get any better than that. Credibility at its finest with the author of the article. The same reason many sites now use

Create Circles and Add Followers to Each Circle:

 A circle is a category that you can add followers to that you have created. You can create any topic for a circle, example your circles might be Family, Friends, Networking, SEO, Web Design as an example of Circles. The advantage is when you post a particular article you may want only to send it to two of your circles that are materially relevant to the followers in the circles. So the followers in the selective circles would be the only ones able to see your post on the stream.

Examples of Random Circles

The Advantage Of Having Well Organized Circles:

When you create well-designed circles that have the relevant material you're interested in, then it becomes optimized with people, the information you have an interest in educating your abilities. This process allows you to engage with similar minded people within your industry of interest. You can also add the Extended feature Circles; this means not only the people you have in your circles also, but the people in their circles will also have the opportunity to view your post.

When you use the actual features of Google Plus that only the people you have selected within your circles for the post your publishing. Using this strategy keeps all of your followers viewing only posts they enjoy or have an interest. 

How To Share a Post on Google Plus:

Click on your profile picture in the top left corner of your page, select the profile or page you want to use from the menu then you can share the update you want to share with your circles. You can also add #hastages to increase your audience; without a limited of only 160 characters for your post.

What has Fear have to do with our Success?

February 18, 2016

What is fear first of all? Fear is an obstacle that can hold you back from whatever it is you set out to accomplish in life.  Is fear an emotional state of your mind or is it something else.  Most of us create this illusion that we do not have what it takes to move on with our lives. But actually, fear is a motivator; that we did not even know until we encounter that fear.

We when meeting concerns our whole body and mind changes drastically to challenge that obstacle we have just met regardless of what we are up against.  Think of the times you have encountered fear and how you put up your guards to protect yourself from that fear or you ran away from it, but you did react to in a different manner.  Fear can hold us back, for the simple reason, it takes full control over our emotions and mind.

Fear often interferes with our ability to live more fulfilling lives. Fear is the critical voice in our head saying: "You'll never succeed, so why to try?” Fear makes us listen to those voices and give up before we've even started.  So how do we handle our fears and overcome them, so they do not hold us back from success? Don't beat yourself up over mistakes you've made in the past and being fearful of starting new relationships, jobs, etc. That gets you nowhere. Call a mistake an "opportunity for learning" and seek the learning in every "mistake".

When we let fear rule our lives, we miss out on opportunities and leads us to dismiss people and situations that could help us reach our goals. Fear comes in different guises and various forms - procrastination for example.  Learning how to deal with fear is your first step to overcoming fear.

Here are a few key points that will help you deal with your fears learning and be able to handle is the first step in overcoming some of your fears.

-Get to know your fears
-Get to know the source of your fears
-Step into the things feared
-Make the negative flow stop
-Enlighten all
-Financial obligations
-Providing for our loved ones

-This list can grow beyond our belief, with all kinds of fears we face.

Logically, to overcome your fears, you have to be aware of their existence first.  Once you learn what concerns you have and why they have an effect on your performance, you will be able to overcome them, one at a time.

Make the most of each day

All the Best,
