Why Network Marketing makes sense

Why do Network Marketing? Or have you been?......

During the early days of American business, companies were largely built through word-of mouth advertising.

In addition to business owners, professional people such as doctors, dentists and lawyers built their practices using the word-of-mouth approach. It is simply the QUICKEST, most cost-effective way of building a business.

This type of advertising, in its current form, is referred to as
Networking or Network Marketing. The truth still holds truethat it is the quickest, most cost effective way of bringing aproduct or a service to the consumer.

Therefore, unlike other professionals who only own their job we
own a business.

We get PAID for not only our own efforts, but also the
efforts of many.

A recent article referred to networking as the marketing concept of the future and predicted that within a few short years, most all products and services will be provided through Network Marketing.

Donald Trump stated that if he were to start over, it would be in some type of Network Marketing. In his opinion it is the only way ordinary, everyday people can achieve financial independence.

In an issue of Success Magazine: the cover story, Creating
Millionaires
, featured ordinary people all of whom had made their fortunes through Network Marketing. Simply put, the trend today is that more and more well-educated business and professional people are turning to Networking. It is creating more WEALTH than any other system.


In the United States, some 87 million people are currently working at home and 38.5 million of those are in networking.



Why is Networking so Powerful?

Did you know you can become WEALTHY doing this business part time?!
Thats right, part time! The reason is simple. You are utilizing OTHER PEOPLES EFFORTS!

For example, lets say you put 10 hours a week into your part time business. Do you think you could find two other people who might want to make money doing the same thing? Of course you could! So, now, instead of working 30 hours yourself, you have found a more effective way to get three times the results.

What if your two reps sponsored two reps each who, also, only worked 10 hours a week? Now, thats 70 hours of work being done and you are only doing 10!

How about when you have 100 reps in your business still doing only 10 hours a week of networking? Thats over 1000 hours a week! All of which you are getting paid on!

Even if you wanted to, you couldnt work that many hours in a week by yourself. This is the secret that many, many successful people know. Its the power of leveraging your time.

It was the famous billionaire John Paul Getty who said, Id
rather have 1% of 100 peoples efforts than 100% of my own!

This business is about a lot of people all doing a little bit. Once you truly grasp the concept of leveraging your time and effort, it will be easy for you to understand why so many people are becoming involved in this industry called Network Marketing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

What is the most important thing you need to build a successful Network Marketing business? Its not money, its PEOPLE.

Everyone is a prospect but not everyone is a worker. You must
remember that it is not your responsibility to judge whether or not they are a dud or a stud. The old saying, you cant judge a book by its cover, is true with people also.

If you really want people to pay attention to you, show them whats in it for them.
Focus only on what success they can have in this business. Find out their needs, their goals, and their desires. Then show them how they can achieve those things through this business.

People could care less how much money you make unless you are paying their bills. Always direct all benefits of services and income potential towards the prospect. For example, when you are talking to your prospect about Your Opportunitys unbelievable residual pay, you could say something like, Your monthly residual check alone could allow you to stay home with your kids every day!

Remember, Telling isnt Selling, but Asking is.

Your chances for success greatly increase when you are asking as opposed to telling someone about your business. Use questions like, If the right thing came along, would you be interested in improving your income? or Would you like to quit your job? Or "Do you ever look
at other ways to make money?, Would you want more information?"
Ask anything you can think of to find out what their wants and needs are.
Then you are in a much better position to sell your opportunity.

All people are different so get creative and use your personality and excitement to get their attention.

Work with JOY


Work With Joy
By Ramu Jaladurgam

A happy person is not a person with certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with certain set of attitudes -Hugh Downs


YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO CHOOSE ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!

Why don't you choose 'JOY' as your choice?


The happiest things in the world are not things, they are just emotions. Everybody aspire to live their life happily to the fullest, but many times situations go wrong and expectations invite worries. Happy, Jovial, Joy, Ecstatic - no matter how you say it - a feeling of joy is uplifting and satisfying. It's a state we all want to be in, but too many of us don't know how to experience the joy.


What will make you joyful and happy? Finding the perfect job or spouse? A shiny new car? Your dream house? Even things which appear to create joy have their downsides


Every human being wishes to be happy, but the metamorphosis of the mental perception towards being with happiness should be the ultimate choice. You can change yourself by changing the way you feel. So, try not to look at change as an impossible task. But remember, we do all have the choice and the power to change IF WE WANT. Explore the happiness that is lying within you always.


After GOD created a human being with all the emotions, he was searching for the place to keep the happiness, thinking that by default happiness may not have the purpose of creation. Other administrators suggested him to keep Happiness at the peak mountain of Himalayas and somebody said it is easy for them to find and achieve, then other proposals like hiding in to the deep see, locking in the rocky den was also denied by the god, because they seems to be easy. Then an intelligent proposal emerged in to the god's mind to keep the happiness within the human being. Since then the man is searching around the world and trying to find the 'Joy' with things, relationships, expectations, money, power and other tangibles.


Joyful people take responsibility for their own happiness. Joy is a choice. A small flower at our garden, Baby's smile, Sunrise like simple beauties of life also can bring happiness to our life provided if we have attitude. You can create joy when you change your faulty beliefs and thoughts. Joy is more than happiness, health and wellness. The good news is that we all have room for change and can do it by checking our responses to the world and different situations in our life. Love unconditionally, reduce self-interest while developing your social interest and self-help to be at peace and have positive perceptions.


Wishing, hoping, feeling and being with joy is the complete purpose of life.

I wish your only choice would be to WORK WITH JOY.

The Walnut Trees & Growing Your Business



As Featured On Ezine Articles


Every morning, for this past year, Flo (our fantastic Mutt) & I walk approximately 5 miles back & forth through the Almond and Walnut Orchards behind our Ranch.

The walk was prompted by my coronary and has become an hour + of the most enjoyable part of my day.

Flo gets to chase the Wild Turkeys, Jackrabbits, stare down the Fox, and watch the Deer. I think she walks-runs 10 miles.

The most fascinating thing in the past few months has been watching a freshly planted (February) Walnut Orchard blossom from a field of white painted "sticks" to a 20 acre stand of stately Walnut trees, some 13 feet tall!!

These trees are nurtured daily, constantly tied and pruned during their first year.
However the real reason for their explosive growth was the preparation of the planting environment.

The ground was ripped deep for drainage, holes were dug 4 feet x 4 feet, backfilled with amendments and then the Twigs (walnut stock cuttings) were placed in the well worked ground.

A small hole dug in un-worked and unamended ground would not have yielded the size of tree we are staring at today.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH GROWING YOUR BUSINESS?

The opportunities offered today in the Networking Marketing and Home-based Business world are staggering. Most companies are ethical and offer fine products, reasonable compensation plans and are usually well managed.

Why is it then, the attrition rate is so high?

No one addresses the preparation stage of starting the business. Everyone wants to "get going now" and make a million overnight.

The only reason the Walnut Trees are doing so well, is that the farmer spent time and money, preparing the soil and is spending a bundle in the early stages to keep those tress growing properly , even tiough there won't be any income for several years.

Want to grow a Solid Business?

Take heed from my successful Neighbor.

1. Choose the Company and Product well. (get quality Root Stock)

2. Be willing to invest in books, tapes and aligning yourself with quality training (Prepare you ground and plan)

3. Have a written plan and be prepared to work daily in the beginning to constantly build your foundation of quality recruits. ( constantly prune, tie and Fertilize the tree during the first year)

Shirley & I consider ourselves fortunate to have found the right Product and Company,
(good Root Stock) but more importantly, we understood the necessity of planning our work and working our plan. We invested wisely in learning aids and developed strong Master Mind Alliances with proven producers.

A new Beginning or Continuation of True Success?

Fellow Networkers

You will appreciate an interesting turn of events for me this past week.

For the past 10 years I have successfully represented a major Pre-engineered Building Company. They are a leader in the Equine Housing Market, which was easy for me since we have been deeply involved in the Horse business forever.
I have been one of the leading producers each year, until this past year, which was pitiful, primarily because of my Major Coronary.

I was informed Thursday that my services would no longer be needed, they have "hired" a young man & women to take my place and see if the Territory could get "back" to speed.

Thank goodness for my ability to always have had a strong Network.
In a way, at age 63, I am relieved because now my total efforts can concentrate on helping my wonderful networking associates to fufill their personal dreams of the Joy of Unlimited residual Income, and the Freedom of controlling their own Destiny.

Feel free to share this with your Associates and hopefully more will join us in the Blessed Opportunity offered to all, regardless of Age, Experience, Sex or Education, by the Exciting World of Network Marketing.

Do Your Potential Customers Forget About You?

Hello again,
We have studied the market in the Auto-response field and feel they all have
programs that offer good value.
The following is a letter from the CEO of AWEBER.COMWhat impressed us was the personal service from the CEO. A real letter in the mail offering his thanks and services on any questions. WOW, service still sells.
It is important for any Marketer to have an auto-response. Might as well be the Best.

Do Your Potential Customers Forget About You?[By: Tom Kulzer]

Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person's need for information quickly!

But, after you've delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information?

If you are like most Internet marketers, you don't.

When you don't follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him. Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn't receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere.


Are you losing profits due to inconsistent and ineffective follow up?
Following up with leads is more than just a process - it's an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don't follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process.


Consistent follow up gets results!
When I first started marketing and following up with prospects, I used a follow up method that I now call the "List Technique." I had a large database containing the names and e-mail addresses of people who had specifically requested information about my products and services. These prospects had already received my first letter by the time they requested more information, so I used the company's latest news as a follow up piece. I would write follow up newsletters every now and then, and send them, in one mass mailing, to everyone who had previously requested information from me. While this probably did help me win a few additional orders, it wasn't a very good follow up method. Why isn't the "List Technique" very effective?


The List Technique isn't consistent. Proponents of the List Technique tend to only send out follow up messages when their companies have "big news".

List Technique messages don't give the potential customer any additional information about the product or service in question. He can't make a more informed buying decision after receiving a newsletter! If someone is wondering whether your company sells the best knick-knacks, what does he care that you've just moved your headquarters?

List Technique messages convey a "big list" mentality to your potential customers. When I used to write follow up messages using the List Technique, I was writing news bulletins to everyone I knew! I should have been sending a personal message to each individual who wanted to know more about my products.

What follow up method really works?
Following up with each lead individually, multiple times, but at set intervals, and with pre-written messages, will dramatically increase sales! Others who use this same technique confirm that they have all at least doubled the sales of various products! In order to set this system up, though, you need to do some planning.

First, you'll need to develop your follow up messages. If you've been marketing on the Internet for any length of time, then you should already have a first informative letter. Your second letter marks the beginning of the follow up process, and should go into more detail than the first letter. Fill this letter with details that you didn't have the space to add to the first letter. Stress the BENEFITS of your products or services!

Your next 2-3 follow up messages should be rather short. Include lists of the benefits and potential uses of your products and services. Write each letter so that your prospects can skim the contents, and still see the full force of your message.

The next couple of follow up messages should create a sense of urgency in your prospect's mind. Make a special offer, giving him a reason to order NOW instead of waiting any longer. After reading these follow up messages, your prospect should want to order immediately!

Phrase each of your final 1 or 2 follow up messages in the form of a question. Ask your prospect why he hasn't yet placed an order? Try to get him to actually respond. Ask if the price is to high, the product isn't the right color or doesn't have the right features, or if he is looking for something else entirely. (By this time, it's unlikely that this person will order from you. However, his feedback can help you modify your follow up letters or products, so that other prospects will order from you.)

The timing of your follow up letters is just as important as their content. You don't want one prospect to receive a follow up the day after he gets your initial informative letter, while another prospect waits weeks for a follow up!

Always send an initial, informative letter as soon as it is requested, and send the first follow up 24 hours afterwards. You want your hot prospects to have information quickly, so that they can make informed buying decisions!

Send the next 2-3 follow up messages between 1 and 3 days apart. Your prospect is still hot, and is probably still shopping around! Tell him about the benefits of your products and services, as opposed to your competitors'. You will make the sale!

Send the final follow up messages later on. You certainly don't want to annoy your prospect! Make sure that these last letters are at least 4 days apart.

Following up effectively seems complicated, but it doesn't have to be! So many potential customers are lost because of poor follow up - don't you want to be one of the few to get it right?
