Creating Your Personal Brand for You or Your Company

August 9, 2016

One of the key elements many major companies create a brand is for the logical reason when they view a certain brand it relates it back to their business. Think of Nike there brand is "Just Do It" when you hear those words, it immediately makes you think of Nike. Branding is so important that many major companies buy other companies specifically for their brand. Example, when Kraft bought Cadbury for $19.5 billion dollars they did not buy it for the factory's or their products, Kraft bought it for their brand.

Branding your company or corporation will increase the value of your business many times more than the actual product, it creates tremendous appeal for that company if it decides one day to put it on the open market to be sold.  Many reasons why branding has become so vital and important to any business or corporation as more and more companies are using Social Media Platforms to spread their brand. This has become big business for many Advertising Agencies with fewer and fewer names to select from slim pickings.

When your company or corporation has the right brand, it becomes knowing in the international world as a major player due to all the online access we all have so now we can expand at a much greater pace than ever before. Creating the correct brand for your company will take a skilled advertising agency that understands the power of a brand and how to get it noticed worldwide, or just locally if that is your mission.

With the correct branding strategies, your business can improve in many areas such as product recognition, provide more awareness for your advertising marketing plans. It will also build trust with your company, also increase the value of your business and increase your database with new customers. Just to mention a few reasons why you should take the time to create your company or corporation brand. If you want to control your market share of the pie, then you need to have a strong brand to keep ahead of your competition.

One of the most important reasons brandings is so important to any industry it can communicate with your audience at a level that you would never be able to, with just an ad or promotion, branding sends a physiological message that has the soft sell of empathy, trust and creates dedicated clients to your business.  The top one hundred companies who use the branding features to its full advantage of creating a lasting impression with their audience.

Here is an example of some of the Branding Cards Karatbars has created, if you  would like more information you can  register your free account with Karatbars  and have access to all that is involved with creating your branding cards for your business, charities, non-charity events or any type of personal brand you would like to create.

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.

Picture taking by (my daughter) Ashley Botelho, somewhere in Colorado

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.

All the Best,

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.

All the Best,
