My Prospecting Secrets Revealed!

http://www.ozcashfromhome.com/r/jblais245

Let me start off by explaining the biggest benefit of providing your downline members with a viral prospecting system.

It boils down to this...

When you have a viral prospecting system in place for your team

members, your downline has the potential to take on a life of its own and continue to grow effortlessly while you're focusing on more important things such as family and friends.

A gentleman I recently discovered managed to accomplish the difficult task of duplication while maintaining his full time job and family life.

He mentioned that ever since the beginning of his online ventures he was searching for a system that brought interested prospects in automatically.

He didn't have time to do the traditional recruiting methods because they required a lot of time and commitment.

What he wanted instead, was a huge downline that duplicated on

auto-pilot from his part time efforts.

"But did such a solution exist?"

If it did, he said he couldn't find it...

So after many years of struggling to build a solid residual income through network marketing he decided it was time to take the bull by the horns (so to speak) and he created a 3 step marketing system that literally exploded his downline within a few months.

The part that amazed me the most was the fact that he didn't spend a dime on advertising. And his downline is now over 11,460 strong and growing monthly on auto-pilot.

Ultimately I learned that being a successful sponsor involves providing some type of system that helps people build their business, not sitting around wondering why your downline isn't doing anything.

I guess the quote from Zig Ziglar holds true:

"You can have everything in life you want, if you just help enough nother people get what they want."

18 ways to market your business on a tiny budget

 it's vital that people know about you and your brand.  The more people you reach, the more sales you'll rake in. Simple. You could be the greatest underwear designer or sandwich maker in the world, but if you fail to market your business and customers don't know about you, how do you sell them your product or services?

That's why marketing is such a valuable tool for sole traders. However, it's essential that you get your marketing strategy right. Don't blow your whole budget on one channel: you need to make sure the marketing reaches a wide yet targeted audience.

Another point to keep in mind when marketing is that the innovative methods are always the best. Take the route less travelled and make your business stand out from the crowd.

We've put together a list of the top 18 ways to market your business on a shoestring.  Give them a go.

1. Write a press release

Send out a press release detailing your business proposition and what makes it unique. Target all relevant newspapers, websites, magazines and radio. Do this even if you think your product isn't the most exciting.  It could be a slow news day and you might be exactly what they're looking for.

2. Use Twitter

Set up a Twitter account for your business. You need to make people aware of you and your products or services.  If you have a shop or stall, tweet your whereabouts. Twitter's also a fantastic way to spread discounts and offers: tweet out every time you're offering a bargain. Tweet regularly enough and pretty soon you'll have an army of followers, or as they're known in the business world, potential customers.

3. Use Facebook

Set up a Facebook page for your business. Upload photos of your products and update your status to let customers know what you're up to.  It's another way of letting people know you exist and makes you look professional.

4. Set up a website

For a business to be successful today it's essential that you have a website. The first thing a customer will do when trying to find out about your business is Google it. An attractive website can make your business look ultra professional and should be the home of your online presence. Your social media channels should link back to your website as much as they can. This will help drive traffic to your site and is another way of creating sales.

5. Start a blog

This is a fast way to keep your website relevant. It could also encourage people to spend longer on your website and will encourage repeat visitors. You should style yourself as an expert on your particular field or industry. It's the perfect way to enforce brand messages and engage with customers. If people read and like your posts, they'll respect your brand even more.

6. Email marketing

Email lets you communicate with thousands of customers or potential customers at the touch of a button. And, for smaller mailing lists, it's usually free. Get customers to fill in a form with their email address on it whenever they buy from you and have a 'Sign up for more information' field on your 'Contact us' page. This will help you build a list of email addresses to contactwhenever you have a new product or offer.

7. Convert your customers into promoters

Potential customers are a million times more likely to use your business if its been recommended by a friend. So why not turn your customers into brand ambassadors? Give them a discount on products if someone they recommended buys something from you. That way they'll be singing your praises and getting you more customers in the process.

8. Turn your customers into fans

You only have to look at the outpouring of respect for Steve Jobs in the past few days to understand the power of brand loyalty and the impact of a visionary leader. You need to make your service and product - even yourself- so positive that customers can't wait to tell their mates about it.

9. Offer a discount card

It's a great way to reward customers for their loyalty and persuade them to keep using your business. For example, 'buy 9 t-shirts, get the tenth one free'. In order to get the free one, the customer may buy more than he originally intended.  This tactic is a favourite of major companies such as Starbucks and McDonalds.

10. Get happy customers to tell you

Encourage customers to write a short email or letter about the positive experience they had when using your business. Put these testimonials on your website and maybe frame some exceptional ones in your shop/office. People will be more willing to use you if they see that other customers have had a positive experience.

11. Run a competition

Give something away and get people talking about your business. You could run a competition from your shop and advertise it online. This could get more people visiting your shop: more people will see your awesome products and ultimately buy from you.

12. Offer to write for a trade magazine or website

A sole traders is the CEO, CTO, FD and CMO of their business. That makes them experts in every aspect of running their venture and their industry.  So offer to write a blog on your business for a trade publication. It's another way of getting your business known and makes you look even more reputable.

13. Try and win an award

Entering for an industry award can be easy. For some, all you need to do is write an application. If you're successful, local press may be interested in speaking to you and it's another accolade to put on your website or business card. It also gives customers confidence in your business.

14. Form a partnership

For sole traders, a business partnership can be a godsend. Pairing with another business means that you will have access to their network of customers. You can also pool contacts and share advice. Want an example? A freelance marketing expert could team up with a sole trader in the printing industry. This way, the marketing expert can give advice and help with some social media advertising for the printing firm, while the printers can provide the marketer with branded stationary for his or her client.

15. Help out a local charity

Help organise a fundraising event or give 5% of your earnings from a particular product or campaign to charity. It will win your business brownie points in the local community and may even get some coverage in the press. TOMS footwear has made corporate social responsibility synonymous with its brand. Its USP is: " With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need."

16. Ask experts to write on your website

Just like you, thousands of other businesses and people are looking to market themselves. If they're relevant, why not allow them to write a comment piece and post it on your website? Regular updates help your website to climb the Google rankings and guest posts are great link bait: your blogger will tell everyone they know to read it!

17. Get on YouTube

Have a YouTube page where you can put videos of your business. If you're a carpenter, film yourself building your latest project. If done well, it can show customers that you really care about what you're creating. It also gives customers an opportunity to see how much effort goes into building that chest of drawers. The same can be done for people selling burgers or even cleaning offices.

18. Make a memorable business card

Business cards are cheap to make and a great way of ensuring people remember your business. When you meet potential customers at an event, give them your business card. If it's fun and memorable they may show it to friends. Effectively they're marketing your business for you.

Would You Hire Yourself ?

Would you hire yourself for your home-based business, or biz opp?

Weird question, huh?

I have an exercise for you to do. I want you to go in the bathroom and look in the mirror. Take a good hard look at yourself. Study your facial features, look in those eyes, now would you hire the man in the mirror for your business?

Reason why I ask that important question is because if you don't love what you see in the mirror, you will never be successful in anything you do in life.

You have to be in love with the person in the mirror, you have to be your number one cheerleader in life. You have to have an heir of confidence if you ever expect for people to follow you.

People fail in their home businesses partly because they don't believe they can do it. They don't have the confidence level to see the business through.

Here is another question, are you giving your business all you give your 9-5 job?

If you gave your boss on the job the same performance level you give you biz opp would you get a promotion or would you be fired.

Finally, the toughest one of all, honestly now should you fire yourself for poor job performance and lack of enthusiasm when it comes to your home-based business, or biz opp?  

These are questions you need to be asking yourself on a daily basis.  Are you cut out for a home-based business or are you just monkeying around with it like a hobby?

98% people fail when it comes to home-based business because they never treated it like a real 9-5 job. Then when people fail they want to blame everyone, and everything. Look in the mirror again I ask would you hire yourself ?Then either fix you or quit the business. It's better than operating under some grand illusion. If you want to truly be successful in you venture start manning up and treat it like a real business for you see what you have is truly a real business opportunity that can have life changing implications if you will but let it !

Have the Best Day of Your Life !!! 

I Quit !!

Ouch! I Quit, is that your statement when it comes to running your own business? Are you a quitter when it comes to you financial future? Are you a quitter when it comes to all your hopes, dreams, and goals?

I sincerely hope that is not the case. It is the case with 98% of the people that participate in any kind of biz opp or home business program.

Quitters, when the going gets tough, they quit, Ouch ! that one stung I felt that one. It's painful isn't it to be called a quitter?

Why do people drop out of their programs, why do people join a program and never hit the ground running?

There are lots of excuses people will give as to why they don't do anything with their biz opp. Things like I lost my enthusiasm, I don't have time, My kids and life are so busy right now, I am so tired when I get home from work.

Excuses, that is exactly what they are, for people that are quitters. Let me say here, they are probably very nice people deep down inside, that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

Running your own brick and mortar, or home business is time consuming, it is hard work. There will be some blood, sweat, and tears along the way.

This is the case with anything that is truly worth having, or doing. People don't realize the vehicle they have been given. They don't even take it out on the road and give it a real hard run.

Believe me, I would not fault anyone that really gets in their biz opp vehicle and gives it a real run for the money and then decides its not for them.

The problem is, to use the car analogy. People purchase the vehicle drive it home park it in the garage. They might go out and look at it from time to time. Kick the tires so to speak. They might even get in and drive it around the block and then they head back for the garage. 

Eventually they get tired of the their vehicle and don't even go out to the garage anymore soon they forget all about that car being in the garage.

This is the way it is when people join a biz opp or home based business. If they were honest with themselves they would have to admit they did not take that biz opp vehicle out on the freeway and run it at mach speed. How do you know what you or your home based business   are capable of if you won't get in there and race that baby up the highway.

People are so good about talking about wanting a better life, financial freedom, or maybe time freedom. When the rubber meets the road they end up quitting, taking their ball and bat and going home, mad !

Is this you? have I described you? Did you quit your home based business without really giving it a real chance to work.

Are you someone that is struggling and having a hard time? Are you thinking about quitting your biz opp?

Please don't do it, it will be the biggest mistake you ever make. Deep down inside you will always wonder what could have been.

I am going to go out on a limb hear because I have a burden for people and their success in any home based business they might be enrolled in at the moment.  My partner in the business I chose is at the top of her "A" game. She is a real winner with a proven track record she also has a heart for hurting, struggling people. I am going to give out my personal phone number and personal email address. We are willing to counsel, work with, or instruct anyone that is serious about their biz opp or home based business.

If you are a newbie and don't have a great on fire upline, or maybe you don't have a great downline. Maybe you have been working your business for sometime and you are tired and need a friend to give you a push in the right direction. Pick up the phone or email me and we will motivate, counsel, or simply give you a nudge in the right direction.

Just DON'T Quit !!

I feel we can really help the people that need it the most.

Have the Best Day of Your Life !!
