The whole idea of a funded business system is to generate leads for your network marketing business.

Each person who fills out the contact information on your capture page is a potential lead.

In the following training, you will learn how to contact, qualify, and convert those people.

Those who complete your contact form will fall into three categories:
 
1. Looking for a network marketing business.
2. Already with a network marketing company, but not happy.
3. Already with a network marketing company and happy.
 
Categories 1 and 2 are great prospects for your network marketing company right now.

Category 3 may take some time, but odds are that if you do a good job of relationship building, they will join you within a year.
 
Here are some methods of approaching these people and building relationships.

Phone:
 
When a person fills out the contact form on your capture page, you will receive it by e-mail. The information includes their name, e-mail address, and phone number.

The best way to begin the lead conversion process is to call them.
 
When you call, introduce yourself, remind them of the site they visited, and find out if they are already in a network marketing company or not.

If they are, find out if they’re completely happy. If they are not happy with their current company, you’ve got a prospect for your network marketing business. Ask if you can provide information and then do a good job of following up (see below).
 
Make sure that you take good notes during the phone calls, so that as you follow up, you can show them how much you care, by remembering things about their lives.

People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care about them.

Remembering details shows them that you are paying attention and care.
 
Email:
 
If you are either not comfortable on the phone or you don’t have the time to do it, you can follow up by e-mail, however you drop the odds of success quite a few percentage points this way.

Emails have a way of disappearing or being filtered and it is much easier to ignore an email than a person on the phone.

So, if you are serious about success in network marketing, you should work through the fear of the telephone or rearrange your schedule so you have dedicated phone time for your business.

However, if you are not ready to do either of those, here are some ideas for creating an email message:
 
First, keep the message short. Mention the site they visited and then ask if they are looking for a network marketing company or already with one.

Don’t try to sell them on anything in this message. If they don’t respond, email them again.

I email 3 times without response before I move on.
 
Follow Up:
 
Ineffective follow up is one of the primary reasons why people don’t succeed in network marketing.

Quite often you will have a prospect who seems interested, so you provide them with some information, but they don’t return your calls or emails, and you assume that they aren’t interested.

In most cases that is a bad assumption, because when you speak with them they may show a high level of interest.

So the key is effective follow up.
 
Over a third of the people who fill out your contact form will already be with a company, so this step is critical in bringing them into your company sometime in the near future.
 
You can purchase database software like ACT! or you can develop something in Excel or use the contact management portion of Outlook.

Or you can use a professionally designed system like Oprius, which is my preference. Click HERE for information and a free trial.
 
However you do it is fine, but make sure you have an effective database in which you can store pertinent information about prospects and then easily find that information at a later date. It’s great if the system also reminds you to follow up.
 
Once you have a database, the next step is to develop a series of emails that you either manually send or use an autoresponder service like AWeber.

You’ll want to mix some phone calls in with the emails, with the purpose of building relationship.

In your emails and calls you can recommend free (and paid) resources, social networks, articles, blogs, etc.

This will show that you care about the person and not just getting them into your business (even though that is also your intention).

People will join you because they trust and respect you. Also, because you can offer them a marketing system that will help them build a successful business.
 
If you do a good job with all of this, you’ll add new people to your network marketing business every month.
 
***Note: If you don't have a funded business proposal system, I highly recommend Magnetic Sponsoring.

There are many reasons why you should include fasting as a part of your everyday lifestyle, many of which have nothing to do with diet.

Fasting as a concept has been around as long as the hills, though it has been taken to extremes at times and made to look like a less than viable part of a normal and sensible health and weight control plan. 

Fasts have been undertaken through the years for reasons as diverse as political causes (Bobby Sands comes to mind) and religious fasts.

The Bible and many other religions promote fasting as a way to get closer to God, and to achieve enlightenment. There is also some physical evidence that deprivation can lead to a heightened state of awareness, no doubt some of which comes from the lack of additional food the system must process.

Fasts can also be used as a prelude to medical procedures.

For instance, most doctors recommend a 12-hour fast before taking a lipid profile. This is also standard procedure before surgery. Complications from the combination of food and anesthesia have been known to occur.

There is also at least empirical evidence that fasting can have a beneficial effect on other aspects of your health.

There are those who believe that water fasting can not only work to detoxify cells and rejuvenate organs, but also can help and possibly aid in curing such diseases and conditions as cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, lupus and many more autoimmune disorders.   

A newer trend in terms of using fasting as an aid in a sensible weight loss plan is the concept of intermittent fasts.

These are short-term fasts lasting 24-36 hours in length, which help contribute to a total caloric deficit, thus bringing about faster weight loss. This type of fasting is simple to implement, and can be adapted to most individual needs. 

One danger to be aware of is the practice of extreme fasting among teens.

This can lead to other types of food disorders, such as bulimia and anorexia. Few teens need to go on extreme fasts for purposes of weight loss, and if one is considered, it should be under the supervision of their physician.

If the reasons for going on a fast have anything to do with pressure to be thin, or feelings of low self-esteem, then it would be wise to offer counsel.

Extreme fasts tend to appear when a period of binge eating has occurred, with the intent being to purge the body of all the excess food.

Fasting can be a viable and important piece of a well thought out weight loss plan.

The use of short-term fasts used in conjunction with a sound diet can offer great weight loss results, as well as some of the ancillary benefits of fasting.

This combined with all the spiritual and beneficial effects fasting can have on a person's psyche make fasting something you should definitely consider when determining your course. 

Brad Pilon is a nutrition professional with over eight years experience working in the nutritional supplement industry specializing in clinical research management and new product development.

Brad has completed graduate studies in nutritional sciences specializing in the use of short term fasting for weight loss.

His trademarked book Eat Stop Eat has been featured on national television and helped thousands of men and women around the world lose fat without sacrificing the foods they love.

It is a little known business model that allows an individual to actively participate in profit-sharing with the company by purchasing actual customers that have bought a product from the company.

For a small fee, you can purchase the rights to share the profits with the company for every purchase made by that customer for life.

My friend and mentor Brad Weinman researched the cooperative marketing industry’s most successful companies, money earners, and attorneys, and as a result, put together the following criteria regarding what to look for in a cooperative marketing company:

(Points 1-6 in bold were designated as most important from his research.)

1.    The rep must be able to make money without having to recruit a single person.

6.    Company must provide outstanding Customer Service.

7.    Company must be at least two years old. (if less than two years, company has NOT evolved to a point of stability).

8.    Management must have a diversified background.

9.    Company must have full time Customer Service with a Manager and Staff. This Customer Service must provide telephone and email support. Friendly, professional and responsive service.

10.   History of introducing new products and services to existing customers.

11.   Must have both business-to-consumer and a business-to-business model(s) to market.

12.    Compensation Plan has to enable and reward the rep. or affiliate for selling the product, not only for recruiting. (I.e. Average rep will only recruit 2.8 people their entire life.)

13.    Company must have a history of Shipping the Product and Paying Commissions on time.

14.    Healthy Customer to Rep. Ratio must be 4 to1 minimum. A 7 to 1 ratio is great and preferred.

15.    Product must have a large and growing marketplace (Today and for the next 10 years. Not a fad or trend)

16.    Product must be in demand and consumable (Creates an emotional attachment to the product).

17.    Product must work and perform at a consistent and high level.

18.    Product must be easy to use (Fast, easy, and fun to operate/consume).

19.    Product must be easy to refer (Fast, easy, and fun to introduce to prospects).

20.    Product must have value (Not what you spend, but what you get and what it’s worth. No $50 soap, padded for rep commissions.)

21.    Product must have new or unique features (USP…unique selling proposition)

22.    Product must have monthly renewal (Creates ongoing consumption and, as a result, residual income.)

23.    Product has to stand by itself…would YOU buy the product if no business opportunity were attached?

The Google Content Network runs ads on Google partner sites, such as Adsense ads. These used to perform so badly compared to the Search Network (ads that appear when people search for keywords) that most internet marketers did not even bother to run them.

But these days, in many markets, Content Network ads can be way more profitable than the Search Network.

To run ads on the Content Network, select the "Settings" function in a campaign, and click on the "edit" function under the sub-heading "Networks, devices, and extensions ". Click the box for "Content network".

Here is the Content Network strategy:

When you start generating sales from your Content Network ads, look at your stats and Google will actually show you the sites, by URL, that produced your sales.

When you discover a site that is consistently making sales for you, approach that site directly and ask to buy advertising.

This advertising can be a banner ad across the top of the site, or a small text ad on the side panel. The best place for your ad is near the top of the site.

Most of the owners of these sites should be more than happy to sell you advertising space because it is another income stream for them.

The important thing is to track your metrics (the statistics) to ensure that you are turning a profit.

Another point to consider when first implementing this strategy is to expect to overpay for adwords clicks at the outset. In other words, don't expect to turn an immediate profit. Your goal here is to discover the sites that produce sales for you.

Then negotiate directly with those sites and clean up!

Many thanks to John Reese for this killer pay per click marketing strategy.

Learning new skills is an uncomfortable situation for many people. When faced with discomfort or pain, a natural reaction is avoidance.

Avoiding pain can be good, such as keeping your hand out of a fire, and it can be bad, as in the case where you are unwilling to experience short term pain for long term gain.

Regarding avoidance of pain, read this amazing story below:

What Avoiding Pain Cost the Emperor Moth

A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon.

On the day, a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the moth for several hours, just watching as the moth struggled to force its body through that little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making progress. It appeared to have gotten as far as it could. It just seemed stuck.

Then the man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth. So he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily, but it had a swollen body and small shrivelled wings.

The man continued to watch. He expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and open out to be able to support the body. Neither happened! The little moth spent the rest of its life crawlingaround with a swollen body and shrivelled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, didn't understand was this: in order for the moth to fly, it needed to experience the restricting cocoon and the painful struggle as it emerged through the tiny opening.

This was a necessary part of a process to force fluid from the body and into the wings so that the moth would be ready for flight once it achieved freedom from the cocoon.

Freedom and flight would only come after allowing painful struggle. By depriving the moth of struggle, the man deprived the moth of health.

The moral of the story: avoiding pain and discomfort in the short term can sometimes lead to problems in the long term. And sometimes you have to struggle is necessary to move forward.

Apply this to internet marketing by getting out of your comfort zone and trying to learn new skills and do something different.

Yes, it may be painful and involve sacrifices (like giving up watching a TV show), but it may be well worth the effort.

Remember: if it feels uncomfortable, it may be just the thing you need to be doing to create new success online.

Imagine that your wealth is like a reservoir. Funds flow into your wealth reservoir from a source, similar to a small stream or river. The more streams you have flowing into your wealth reservoir, the deeper it will become.

Possessing multiple income streams allows a person to build a reservoir of wealth that can take advantage of what Einstein called "the most powerful force in the universe": compounding interest.

3 Ways To Build Income

1. Labor Compensation

This income stream is usually derived from a day job where a person trades his time and labor for a wage.

A person locked into labor compensation is likely to think of multiple income streams as taking on additional jobs.

2. Hiring Employees

Generally speaking, this income stream occurs from employing people to complete a task. The employer earns a percentage and/or makes a profit after paying the employees.

Labor compensation and the hiring of employees are both restricted by specific acts of labor and time frames.

These income streams may create a small reservoir of funds, but they are unlikely to create a large wealth reservoir.

The income of the wealthy is not tied to labor-intensive, task-based income.

3. Residual or Recurring Income

This powerful stream of income is generated by something someone owns or creates.

The income flows without a time constraint, and without any additional labor for the owner.

Some examples of residual income streams include:

• royalty payments
• recurring commissions form a sale, such as a life insurance policy
• a product distributor receiving income from a multi-tiered compensation model

Remember: A day job can produce a treadmill effect,
                       but a treadmill is not a "fast track" to wealth.

3 Big Advantages of Multiple Income Streams

1. Greater Financial Stability

The income for most people is tied to their job so in the event that they lose their job or cannot work due to injury or illness, their quality of life is directly impacted. Sadly, most people live paycheck to paycheck.

Individuals with mutliple streams of income keep adding to their wealth reservoir and are much less affected if one of their income streams dries up.

2. The Ability to Maintain a Desired Quality of Life

Most households have far more outgoing streams of funds than incoming. And the outflow is constantly increasing with rising costs and inflation. Just look at how much medical costs, tuition fees, and transportation costs have risen over the last few years.

Multiple income streams are often necessary to keep up with outflow of income.

3. Positioning for Growth

Creating and owning multiple income streams has a powerful cumulative effect as these streams keep adding to your wealth reservoir and it keeps growing.

Assets Determine Wealth

Real financial wealth is determined by the value of your assets minus the total amount owed against them. Multiple income streams can generate a reservoir of valuable assets.

Also consider that assets such as real estate, stocks and bonds, and collectibles, can increase in value over time and therefore create another income stream.

A 21st Century Example of Income Streams Tied to An Asset

The TriVita cooperative marketing business opportunity is a 21st century business model that has all the above components related to wealth creation.

The business model has income streams that work for a person 24/7. Income creates a business asset and as income grows, so does the value of the asset.

• Why Listen to Mike Dillard?

 A high percentage of people fail to make a full-time income in network marketing, because they either don't know what to do or aren't willing to do what is necessary to achieve success. In this article, I'm going to eliminate the excuse of not knowing.

Here are ten keys to achieving high success in network marketing:

1. Purpose 

You must have a strong "why" for this business, otherwise the negativity from the dreamstealers (those people in your life who will try to save you from the pyramid scam).

Are you interested in more time freedom? Extra money every month? Helping other people improve their lives? Financial freedom?

A strong purpose will keep you focused and ensure your success in network marketing and all aspects of your life.

2. Goals

You must have written steps that will help you achieve your purpose. Set written goals for the next 5 years, 1 year, monthly, daily. Set goals for # of new contacts, # of retail customers, # of distributors, income, pin levels, etc. Make sure these goals are written. Read them daily.

3. Plan

You must have a written plan for achieving your goals. The great eastern philosopher, Yogi Berra, once said, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up some place else." In other words, if you don't have a written plan to achieve your goals, you won't!

4. Belief

You must believe in network marketing, your company, the products, the compensation plan, the leadership, the marketing programs, your upline, and yourself. The stronger your belief, the greater your commitment.

5. Commitment

You must be committed to your company for life! Not, "I'll give this a try for 6 months and see how it works." I can guarantee you will fail! You must know that this is the best company, with the best products. You must believe that this opportunity is perfect for yourself and for others. If this is not the case, find another company where it is.

6. Positive Attitude

bad things will happen. The media will cover our industry, and your company negatively at times. Prospects will tell you you're crazy for being a part of one of those pyramid schemes. Even your family will think your nuts! Keep in mind that they are ignorant of the facts. You have the facts! This is a great industry.

It will revolutionize the way products and services are distributed throughout the world. You are a part of the greatest industry in the world and the greatest company in that industry. Be positive about the company, industry, products, upline, downline, etc. It's up to you to spread positive and hope everywhere you go.

7. Lead by Example

People will do what you do, not what you say to do. They will look to you to lead by example.

If things aren't going well, ask yourself this question, "How happy would I be if all my downline worked like me?"

Are you doing what's necessary to be successful? If you aren't, you can't expect your downline to. Keep prospecting and recruiting people. Give your downline leads and placements. Use the company training system and promote it's use to your downline.

If you do the right things every day, your downline will do the right things every day, and good things will result.

8. Love People

In our harried world we forget to love people. I'm not talking about romantic love, but rather caring love. Love your sponsor for introducing you to this great company. Love your upline for helping you. Love your downline for committing to you. Love the company for providing these fantastic products and incredible financial opportunity.

Love your prospects, even those who are mean and nasty. In fact love them even more, because they probably need it more.

If you love people, they will love you back. Wow! What a feeling. It turns this from a business into a big loving family full of members who are willing to do anything for you.

9. Daily Action

This is a business, not a hobby. If you invested a half million dollars in a McDonald's franchise would you work it in your spare time – when you didn't have anything else to do – when there weren't any good T.V. shows on? Of course not. You'd be working 15 hours a day to get your money back.

You probably didn't invest much to get into your business, but the commitment level should be the same, because the long-term benefits are much greater in network marketing than with McDonalds.

Work your business every day. Plan time into your daily schedule to prospect, contact, follow-up, work with your downline, conduct training meetings for your downline, conduct business briefings, work online, and study. Daily activity will produce daily results, which build into monthly results, which build into yearly results.

Do you know that if you made up a list of everyone you have ever known and started to contact them, you would recruit at least 10% of them without trying very hard. If you become proficient, you would probably close 30% or better.

Just think, if you contacted one person every day, 7 days a week, you would contact 365 people each year. At a 10% close ratio you would have 36 new distributors every year. If they also duplicated, you would add another 1296 the second year, 46,656 the third year and so on. That is the power of 1 contact each day.

Plan it into your schedule to call or see one new prospect every day (and I mean every day, not just when you have a spare moment!) and commit to doing that for the next month. You'll be amazed at the results! Then teach your downline to do the same thing.

10. Cultivate Leaders

Find natural leaders in the warm and cold markets. Find leaders in your current networks. You will need to find and cultivate at least 3 leaders in each leg in order to secure them. A group of strong leaders under each leg will enable you to have more independence and eventually result in true walk-away income.

Network marketing is a great business. You have chosen a great company. You are a great person. Follow these 10 steps to further greatness!

The third of the 10 Keys To Creating Wealth, by Michael Ellison, founder of TriVita, is expression.

The wealth creation process relies upon the "law" at the foundation of all creative processes: the Law of Expression.

The Law of Expression

To turn invisible reality into visible reality, you must think, speak, and act with behaviour that is fully aligned with what you think and speak.

Consistency and Clarity are Necessary for Creativity

The old phrase "if you talk the talk, walk the walk" is very appropriate here.

Remember: To be genuinely creative…be consistent. Be clear.
                       Stay aligned in thought, word, and deed.

Many people desire to have wealth, observe others with wealth and admire the purchasing power and freedom that wealth brings.

They may even have important life purposes and think about and pray for wealth.

However, these same people give up their pursuit of wealth creation after a few inconsistent attempts at wealth-building.

Almost anyone can be wealthy if they consistently believe it, speak it, and diligently act on it.

Tapping Into the Invisible

All great inventions and innovations begin as a thought, an idea, something invisible, until they are manifested into reality.
 
Look at the way we communicate today: the internet, cell phones, and text messaging were all just ideas a few years ago and now they are very real.

Think It

You cannot create wealth without a thought that is related to a product or service that benefits mankind. 

Begin to try to think of such ideas. Practice thinking the thoughts that create wealth. Write them down.

Speak It

To properly use the Law of Expression, fully develop your ideas before you speak them.

A great way to do this is to write down your ideas. This is also a form of speaking them.

The next time you wake up in the middle of the night with a wonderful idea, write it down and then work on it. Think it through and explore the possibilities.

Develop a small mastermind group of between 2 and 5 people that you can trust to be supportive. Share your ideas with them and engage in brainstorming sessions.

Take advantage of others' input, opinions, and creativity. The collective energy of a group of like-minded individuals can often lead to amazing results.

Act It

Unless you take action on your ideas and words, nothing will happen.

It is important to realize that wealth is not linked to labor compensation, as in an hourly wage.

Wealth is created out of a sense of purpose. Purpose begins as an idea, then is expressed in words, then is represented by actions that are aimed at a goal consistent with ideas and words.

So if you are currently in a compensation mode, you must make time for thinking, speaking, and acting in a way that will create real wealth to fulifill your purposes in life.

This point was really brought home in a story told by TriVita founder Michael Ellison at the annual TriVita convention a couple of weeks ago:

The Story of the 5 Monkeys

5 monkeys were placed in a room that had a cluster of bananas hanging from the ceiling.

In the middle of the room was a ladder. To get to the bananas, all the monkeys had to do was climb up the ladder.

However, half way up the ladder was a hose that was set up to blast the monkey with water once it got part way up the ladder.

The first monkey got half way up the ladder, was blasted with water, and retreated to the a corner in the room. The same thing happened with the second monkey until all 5 monkeys were cowered in the corner and they would not go after the bananas because they were afraid of the water hose.

None of the monkeys were hurt or injured, yet they were so intimidated by the obstacle between them and their goal that they could not get out of their comfort zone to seek the bananas.

The moral of the story: You gotta step out of your comfort zone to succeed.

So, what is holding you back? What are you afraid of?

Face your fears head-on and if something feels uncomfortable, it could be the exact thing you need to be doing.
