Get 10 - 20 Leads a Day

2017-05-18T16:37:00.002-07:00

This post is written for the “every man” and "every woman" - the typical MLM marketer or any marketer for that matter who is looking for or needs prospects. So where do we find MLM Prospects?

I am going to give you tips and tricks that I use everyday to generate between 10-20 leads per day for ANY business, that’s right, doesn’t matter if you sell lotions, potions, or pills using the strategies I am going to teach you will generate the leads desired to grow your business! So are you always going to get 10-20 leads per day using these methods? The answer is that gray area, because some days you may hit the numbers right on the head and some days you might go a little under or way over, but if you do the methods consistently you will average these types of leads. Would 10-20 MLM Prospects per day help in your current situation? I bet it would, so follow my methods below and put them in to action everyday!

Method 1: This is my most powerful method to generating an endless supply of MLM prospects, it’s called Viral Blogging and Content Creation!

This method is the cheapest, most effective way to generate a steady flow of residual MLM prospects. So, let me tell ya how its done. The number one thing you want to do is get a blog set up ( I prefer for you to use an Empower Network blog like the one you are seeing now, because of the fact that it is all set up on an authority site which is by default going to get you better results faster, you can get it by clicking one of the banners on the side or at the top or bottom of this blog post ).

If you do not choose to get the Empower blog to generate more MLM Prospects that is totally fine, the method will still work but will take a little more time and effort and may yield slightly less results. After you have your blog set up ( I prefer using word press on a custom domain name ) you are going to want to blog daily, now it doesn’t matter what you blog about at all, you can blog about ANYTHING, the point is to get enough post’s on your blog so that you are all over the place!

IMPORTANT: When you are setting up your blog you want to make sure to include some banners on the side, a link in the navigation bar that invites them to work with you, and make sure to include your primary business on that page and make the banners point to your capture page or business affiliate link etc this is what is going to build your business when your MLM Prospects come to your page. So you can probably see now how much impact this can have if you take action, right? USEFUL INFO: Make sure you search google for “SEO blog training” “Blog Syndication” and “Keyword Research For Blogging” and study up on it, the more you know the more money you will make in your business!

TIP 1: You can outsource your blogging, you can actually go to sites like fiverr.com and pay someone a fee to create SEO blogs for you so you don’t have to worry about any of it.

Method 2: SOLO ADS for MLM Prospects.

This method alone can be up and down, but if you find the right quality solo ads you can absolutely KILL IT! Now, what is a solo ad? A solo ad is basically finding a person with an MLM Prospects list already built, and having them send your ad whatever it may be to that list. There are tons of cheap ways to do this but the most consistent and proven solo ads are between $45-$65 depending on the amount of clicks you want to receive. This is FAST traffic and can really generate MLM Prospects very fast!

TIP 2: When using solo ads you want to make sure you are tracking your links to find out which solo ad providers are producing for you so you can go back to them for results in the future! You can google “Link tracking” “Solo ad link tracking” “How to track links for solo ads” and find tons of useful information!

Method 3: Social Media for MLM Prospects.

This is probably my least used method, but it absolutely works for some fast traffic, but its a little more complex than the other methods. This method requires branding yourself as a leader, adding value, and talking/meeting new people all the time ( which is never a bad thing) Basically, you want to create an account for business, and start to add groups of similar interest, “internet marketing” “network marketing” “MLM” “your company” etc… Join as many as you can, and always stay joining groups! The next step is to add value by posting inspirational/motivational stuff everyday ( NEVER PITCH OR POST PRODUCT LINKS ) when you see people that are actively talking in groups, and or responding to your post’s add them, I suggest adding 10-20 people a day.

Once you have a solid base of friends and you are posting value everyday, you can start conversation with people and build personal friendships ( DO NOT PITCH ) you do not want to talk about your business or product, these chats are specifically to build trust and friendship, you will build the business later. All friends are MLM Prospects but they don’t have to know that! IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a link to your BLOG page and your youtube account ( if you have one ) on your profile so that people can find your site when they are searching around your page.

TIP 3: People join and buy from people who they KNOW AND TRUST! Keep this in mind!

That is all for my basic training on generating MLM Prospects! Do these everyday, and watch your list and sales soar to new heights! Never forget that MLM Prospects are everywhere, never limit yourself to one thing, but never spend time doing something that isn’t getting you the results you are looking for!

What the Heck is Facebook “Ad Scent” and How to Use It to Get More Leads and Sales?

What the Heck is Facebook “Ad Scent” and How to Use It to Get More Leads and Sales

Written by MATT BARAN

Question…

Ever ran an ad that got clicks, but not any sales?

Hey, it happens to the best of us.

And honestly, there are quite a few things that can go wrong.

But there’s one BIG mistake I constantly see people making over and over, and it will cause your ads to bomb each and every time.

This problem is easy to overlook and hard to recognize to the untrained eye, but luckily the fix is simple.

So if you’re actively using Facebook ads in order to build your businesses, generate leads, and generate sales, then you bes’ listen up.

Because with a few quick tweaks, you can easily boost your sales overnight.

Figuring out Facebook advertising

Lately there’s been a bit of a trend where I’ve seen folks in our community saying:

“I spent $50 and got 37 clicks, two leads, and zero sales. What did I do wrong?”

Now, right off the bat I can tell you this isn’t enough information for me to provide a helpful analysis.

To figure out what isn’t working, I’d need to examine the following:

The ad in question

All associated metrics (such as cost per click, click-through rate, and Relevancy score)

Which interests were being targeted

What overall strategy you’re using on your Fan Page

All these elements are important, because I obviously don’t want to give you bad advice.

As much as I’d love to say it’s possible to predict what’s going to perform, even our ads don’t win 100% of the time either.

More than anything, advertising comes down to testing and tweaking to figure out what works.

Read of my thoughts on strategy here:

The Right Mindset for Paid Advertising

The BIG mistake most marketers make

One thing to ALWAYS keep in mind is this…

When you’re advertising anything, including blog posts, landing pages, videos, etc., there is a tendency to forget that every single click you get comes from a REAL person with real feelings, emotions, and interests.

And if someone clicks on your ad, then your ad got them interested in some way.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a star copywriter or you’re just starting out.

If somebody clicked on your ad, then you said something that got them genuinely interested in what you got on the “other side” of that click.

And here’s the thing…

If you’re getting clicks, but not sales, then the problem might just be what happens after the click.

And perhaps less intuitively…

It probably doesn’t have anything to do with what you’re selling, but instead how you’re selling it.

The all-important “Ad Scent”

When your ad campaign is underperforming and you aren’t getting any sales, the issue tends to be what we call “poor ad scent.”

Basically, ad scent is the congruence (or similarity) between what your ad promised and what the person who clicked your ad receives when they get to your page.

Let me give you a very basic example…

Let’s say that you’re a “Paleo” person and eat a Paleo diet that’s FULL of meat.

All meat, all the time!

Then you create an ad promoting the vegan diet.

Now, if somebody scrolls through their News Feed and sees your vegan diet ad, they might think…

“Animals! Awesome! I LOVE animals and totally don’t want to eat them!”

So let’s say they like your Page and click on your ad.

Inevitably, once they get to your website and find information about the Paleo diet, they’re going to get pretty peeved, because the ad had NOTHING to do with the site they landed on.

Makes sense, right?

People HATE feeling “bait and switched”

Now let’s take that example and directly relate it to advertising Elite Marketing Pro’s content and offers.

Let’s say you’ve created an ad that’s all about your story, your journey, and where you are sending people.

For example…

“My life was a wreck. The bills were piling up. My family was growing, but my paycheck wasn’t. I was down and out with my luck and didn’t know where to turn. I wanted more, but was lost. Then, incredibly. I found this one awesome thing that completely changed everything. Now I’m livin’ large, working at home in my jammies. Click here to learn more!”

Then you send them to an Elite Marketing Pro blog post (kinda like this one), which has absolutely NOTHING to do with the story you just told them.

See the issue?

Basically that person saw your ad, read your story, and decided…

“Oh man, I want to learn more about what’s going on here and what they have to say about this.”

So they click, but arrive at a blog post that’s completely different.

The tone of the blog post is completely different, the author is different…

It’s all different!

That’s going to turn whoever clicked off!

They’re going to think…

“This isn’t what I expected. Now there’s this long blog post that doesn’t have anything to do with the story I just read, and I don’t know why I’d want to stick around and read this.”

That’s ad scent!

You always want your ad (including your copy and image) to directly relate to what’s on your landing page (which was a blog post in this example).

Because if their experience isn’t congruent, your prospects are not going to be interested in sticking around.

I mean, sure, you might get a few people who are like…

“Okay, maybe this sounds interesting. I’ll read on.”

But most people are going to click “back,” get on with their day, and find the next thing in their News Feed.

When your ad and landing page aren’t congruent…

It will drive up your cost per click

It’ll also impact your Relevancy score

And you’ll start getting those ‘fun’ comments that really make you question whether this whole entrepreneurship thing is worth it or not

Another way to look at ad scent

Everybody’s looking for the next new Facebook “trick” and wondering why kind of audience they should be advertising to.

Daegan Smith came up with a perfect analogy of a little deer sipping water at a bubbling brook.

Say you’re walking along through the forest and you come across that particular deer.

Any sort of rustling or quick movement is going to scare that little deer away.

You got to think about your prospects in the exact same way.

For example, if they click on your ad and the landing page doesn’t appear to be what they signed up for, they’re probably going to get scared and question whether you’re legit.

At the worst, they’re going to report your ad as spam (which you don’t want).

Otherwise, they might get on with their day.

Ad scent is a fundamental marketing principle

It’s really not a ‘trick’ at all, but it’s something you always want to keep in mind when you’re advertising blog posts, capture pages, videos, and pretty much everything else.

You need to ask yourself…

“Does the language in my ad match where the prospect will land when they click the ad? Is it creating a natural progression toward my landing page”

…which would be your blog post.

So look at your ads and ask yourself:

Does the the language on my ad match the language on my landing page?

One last tip:

When you’re creating your ads, make sure you’re unclicking the “Audience Network” box in your placements.

I still see a lot of people forgetting to do that, and frankly, Facebook doesn’t make it easy.

They don’t make it stand out, so when you’re creating your ad always make sure you’re unchecking that box.

Because, and just trust me on this one, your results, in most cases, are not going to be as good if you use Audience Network.

And finally, one more time, always be sure to…

Question whether your ad matches your landing page!

Overall, just remember that if you’re not seeing the conversions that you’re looking for, then it could very well be your ad scent or congruency.

Start there.

And one last tip…

As you can see, it can take a fair bit of trial and error to figure out what works.

However, I do know a shortcut that’s helped dozens of marketers quickly create profitable campaigns (often within just a few days).

And that’s taking us up on an over-the-shoulder tour of…

Our highest-converting ads (and their most congruent landing pages)

It’s not every day I get excited like I am today about something as revolutionary as what you’re about to see.

You probably already know that our indsutry is full of hype and self-proclaimed gurus, selling bad and often dangerous advice to others. And that’s putting it mildly.

It’s often hard to tell crap from the real thing.

And is one of the main reasons why most people struggle and burn through gobs of money before seeing any results. If they do ever.

Which is why I’m thrilled to introduce you to a friend of mine, Tim Erway who is an absolute rockstar in this business.

Actually, scratch that. He is the mentor to many of the rockstars and leaders in this industry.

Tim has an incredible track record of success, banking over $30 Million in sales online.

And what’s even more impressive, helping many of his students create 6-Figure, 7-Figure, and some even 8-Figure internet empires.

Tim developed a bulletproof system that can predictably and consistently crank out leads, sales, and create big paydays, even if you’re brand spanking new and haven’t made a dime online yet.

Recently he recorded a video with all the details explaining exactly how he was able to sell Tens of Millions of Dollars worth of products online… and how ANYONE can use the exact same system to get rapid results.

I believe all human beings have dreams placed inside of them that are important…

… and certain dreams are GIVEN to you, because only you can carry them out.

But in many cases, dreams are simply lost.

Life gets in the way, reality sets in and achievement becomes “HARD”.

It takes work to become something truly great.

It takes work to create something worth sharing.

And it takes the ability to dream BIG in order to create the future you know you deserve.

Today I have a very timely message for you.

If you’ve ever given up on a dream (even a dream you’ve never shared)…You need to hear this.

This, I’m sure, will spark a belief that your dreams CAN and WILL be created at one point or another either by you or by somebody else.

7 Self Introduction Strategies for a Successful Interview

2017-01-08T17:02:00.000-08:00

by Perry Jones

Fresh out of college? Recently laid off? Re-entering the work force? You can gain an advantage over those dozens of other qualified people interviewing for the same job by using these 7 Self Introduction Strategies for a Successful Interview.

In any interview you want to present yourself as a skilled and knowledgeable professional who is a great team player and enthusiastic about the company and the position for which you are interviewing. These self introduction strategies will help present you in the best light so that you stand out from other interviewees and make the best possible impression during the interview.

1. Preparation - Preparation is key. This means to research the company; find out what they do and how they do it. Has there been some recent online article? Has there been a story about the company, its products or a member of management in a local magazine or newspaper? Perhaps there has been a feature story on the radio or TV? Digging these up and relating them casually during the course of your interview will make a good impression on the interviewer.

Conduct research on the company's products and services. What are they? How do they compare to those of the competition? Who is the competition? How does the company produce or distribute its products or services? What were last year's (or last quarter's) sales figures? Interject these facts into your interview and you will appear knowledgeable, professional and you will definitely stand out from any other interviewee.

Research the position you are applying for. Details may not be possible to uncover, but you should understand the broad responsibilities as well as the specific skills and experience you are bringing to the table. Mention these skills and experience and even if you are wrong about the details of the position, you will still appear as enthusiastic.

2. Rehearsal - Now that you have all the facts about the company, you need to memorize them all and present them in a way that doesn't seem wooden or as if you're reading from a teleprompter. This is where rehearsal comes in. You may try a full blown dress rehearsal wearing the same type of attire that you would wear for the interview. While some people swear this helps, others consider it overkill. Only you can tell.

Recite the facts about the company and present a few relevant details about yourself stressing how much of a team player you are or other bits of information you have gleaned from the job description. How do you fit in? Explain this. How is your experience helpful to the company? Tell them. How can you use your knowledge and skills to benefit your future employer? Let them know. Present these in short "sound bites". Rehearse them until they feel and sound natural and not rehearsed.

3. Questions - You may have heard about how important relevant questions are and you would be right. From your research you should have uncovered several areas you may feel uncertain about or a few things you would like clarification on. These are good things. Write these down. Memorize them if possible, but don't be afraid to pull out a 3x5 card during the course of the interview if you need to remind yourself what your questions are. You can also buy a book at a copyshop or office supply store that features key questions to ask your interviewer. This is always good.

4. Formality - Now that you are at the interview you need to know what to do. Obviously, you need to arrive on time and this means 10 to 20 minutes early. Not 5 minutes. Not 1 minute. Never late! Be early. This will give you time to mentally rehearse the interview in your mind, review your cheat sheet of questions, powder your nose and otherwise prepare yourself comfortably for the interview.

Dress one level up from the position you are applying for. This is a subjective assessment and sometimes I have guessed wrong, but you can rarely go wrong from a neat appearance. If in doubt, dress up.

Be professional, courteous and likable with everyone you meet. You never know whom you are greeting or with whom you may be working when you are hired.

And keep the cell phone off, the PSP at home, and the earbuds and headphones in the car - but, believe it or not - a Bluetooth is ok, if you do not talk on it.

5. Friendly - It is your time to shine! You want to be courteous and friendly to everyone you meet, especially during the interview. Appear likable, smile and lean forward, don't fidget. A few tricks I learned from the NLP school follow, but don't make them obvious.

Try to mirror the position of the interviewer. Match their position with your own. If they cross their legs, wait a minute or two then cross your legs. If they lean forward, count to 30, then lean forward. If they nod their head, nod your head. If you have your resume or notepad in front of you, turn it to mirror any material they may have. Do this with your peripheral vision. Never look directly at something then attempt to mirror it, you will get caught. When answering a question, repeat the question or a few key words of the question or rephrase it before presenting your answer. Be yourself.

6. Interesting - You must capture the interest of your interviewer. You do this by applying the steps above plus you mention a few favorite anecdotes from your experience that demonstrate how you have successfully faced a challenge, resolved a problem, been a good team player, stayed late to complete a project or soothed a disgruntled co-worker or customer. Add a tidbit of your work experience that shows how you have added value to a previous employer. If you get a few of these together - how you have added value - you can use them for that all important question, "why should we consider you for this position?" And this brings us to 7.

7. Unique - Being unique is the key to getting the job. If you stand out from all the other candidates, if you can appear friendly and interesting, if you are on time and dressed appropriately and if you can demonstrate just how much of a positive impact your skills and experience will bring to the company, you will get hired.

By following these strategies of self introduction in interviews you will almost certainly be one of, if not the top choice for consideration.

Use Your Time to Thank Others - Powerful Self-Introductions Are No Accident

2016-11-15T11:10:00.002-08:00

By Glen Gould

Using your time to thank others is a powerful technique if you can master it and if you can do it with integrity. When you stand, you should give your "big-bang" statement. This is the one statement that focuses attention on you and your product or service. Then turn the attention to the audience in a very strategic way. Begin to thank those in the audience for the referrals and service they have given you. You may even find it appropriate to thank them for service they delivered to a referral you gave them.

Why would you spend your time thanking others? It takes the focus off of you and places it on the audience. When you focus on others you can't possibly focus on yourself and that means your message cannot come across as being too sales focused. We have all heard the hard sell in a self-introduction, and we know how and when to block out the presenter.

Whenever someone in the audience is the focus of attention, the entire audience is the focus of attention. And let's face it, they are already thinking about themselves anyway. Placing focus on the audience tells them that you understand their needs. They need to be important. They need to be the focus. How could you do more to demonstrate the importance of the audience than to take the focus off you and place it on them?

What's more, it catches the audience off guard so they are prone to listen more. The audience has likely fallen into a pattern of listening to the first few words from each presenter and then, BAM! You do something totally unexpected.

Thanking others rewards people for actions that you want repeated. Remember that which gets rewarded tends to get repeated. Finally, it sends the message loud and clear that you are a great networking partner. Everyone will want to know you if you are clearly giving good service to those who are referred to you and if you are giving referrals to the group.

However you should exercise caution. If you begin thanking people in the audience for their leads and referrals or if you thank them for the great work they did for you or your friends, do not fail to mention everyone in the audience who you recently partnered with. That is one sure way to alienate your referral partners. Remember, if you can't implement this technique with integrity, don't use it at all.

How Do Self-Marketing Capsules Work?

2016-11-15T11:08:00.004-08:00

By M Cepeda

Self-marketing capsules are some of the state of the art methods of securing employment. This method is used by individuals who are actively seeking a job. This process usually takes about 30 seconds to deliver. Job seekers are learning that they need to always be ready to promote or market themselves.

Almost every situation can turn into an opportunity to self-market. Capsules are used to help you better position yourself as you look for work. Self-marketing capsules can be delivered to potential employers while you network. Successful job seekers are always ready to present this pitch in hopes of gaining employment. Here's how it works:

1 - Explain who you are

One of the most important parts of the self-marketing capsule is to introduce you. If this potential employer doesn't know what to call you, it doesn't help. Introductions should be the first line of business.

Along with your introduction, you should profile your experience. This is a brief way to show that you are qualified for the job opening. There is more to this step than simply repeating what the job description says. You need to present yourself as being able to perform the tasks of this job and more.

2 - Present your strengths

Every applicant has their own strengths. These are the things that need to be relayed through a self-marketing capsule. Experts say that at least 2 or 3 strengths should be presented. This allows applicants to quickly show that they will be good employees.

Employers are not only looking for qualified people. They also want people who have strengths that can apply to other things. Various tasks are included in most jobs. This is why flexibility is essential.

3 - Show your experience

Previous work and educational experience are critical bits of information. They work to showcase your qualifications. In many cases, these are what will set you apart from other potential applicants.

Job seekers should use this step just as they would a resume. The main difference is that the time period is very brief. Understanding the specific industry and the available jobs is a helpful tool. This will assist you in the process of securing a job.

4 - Discuss salary or not

Many people think that it is poor taste to discuss salary. If the potential employer brings the subject up, this is okay to discuss. Here is where being strategic is important. You will also need to know specifics about the industry and what it's paying currently.

If asked what you would be willing to make, you need to be within the normal salary range. Steps like this one could make or break the experience. Research will be critical when it comes to this part of the self-marketing capsule.

5 - Monitoring the time

Monitoring the time is the best way to keep your capsule brief. At the same time, you want to include all of your pertinent information. Practicing your capsule approach may help you in the long run. You can use friends as practice employers are networking acquaintances. Perfecting self-marketing capsule techniques will help you to find the job that you're looking for.

Risk vs Return - The Best of Both Worlds

2016-01-15T12:27:00.002-08:00

Written by Dan McFerran of www.themortgageformula.com

Creator of The Mortgage Formula. After working in the financial industry for over 20 years, for major banks and as a licensed financial planner, the author created The Mortgage Formula to help "Mum's and Dad's" pay off their mortgages quickly and easily w

We’ve been trained to think in terms of risk vs reward. Low Risk = Low Return, High Risk – High Return, but what if you could have the best of both worlds?

This information alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime and you’re reading it now for free. I used to charge people thousands to advise and implement this strategy and they loved it. But anyone can do it, and the best way to do it is to set it on auto pilot. I’ll show you how right now.

Option 1

Let’s say you have $20,000 to invest and want a decent, low risk investment. The best I could find today, in Australia was around 3.80%pa. OK not so bad...however the current core inflation rate is 2.3%. So for your $20,000 to buy the same amount of goods and services next year needs it needs to increase to be $20,460 ($20,000 x 102.3%). Assume that I’ve just earned 3.80% on my $20,000 which gives me $760 to include in my taxable income for the year. Based on a average tax rate of 40% , that leaves me with $456.

Wow... I just lost $4 by having my money “invested” in the bank.

Option 2

So let’s look at another option. I have a $235,000 mortgage with XZY Bank Ltd and my interest rate is 4.5%pa. I decide to check if my bank allows a fee free redraw on any extra money I contribute to the loan. They confirm with a YES you can. So, I now invest the same $20,000 into my mortgage reducing the loan to $215,000. Firstly, when they calculate interest, they generally do it on the daily balance and charge it monthly. So the first benefit is that when you make your next mortgage payment, you will make greater headway into reducing the principle outstanding amount by being charged less interest. Fantastic!

Annual Effect

Let's look at the annual effect of just the $20,000. So we get $20,000 x 4.5%pa = $900 that you’re not being charged on your mortgage by your bank. This is like earning money on an investment but you don’t pay any tax. That’s right...to compare this investment, apples for apples, you’d have to gross up the $900 by your rate of taxation. For me, I’d have to invest and earn $1,500 ($900 divided by 0.6) to match the after tax return of putting it into my mortgage. The equivalent return is 7.5% pa as shown here:

Principle amount
$20,000
Annual rate of return
7.5%
Return in dollars
$1,500
Tax (at 40%)
$600
Remainder
$900
Inflation
$460
Net
$440

So, even if you were to put the money in your mortgage for 12 months, you’ve managed to retain your buying power of the money and add $440 to the amount. That's a win, and its gets better the longer it’s left there!

Top 12 Self Introduction Speech Topcis

2014-09-25T11:19:00.001-07:00

by Jim Peterson

Use this Top 12 self introduction speech topics for if you have to develop a brief self introduction that tells the audience who you are and what you are about.

There are public speaking opportunities in life in which you have to make a good first impression.
The key question for a successful and effective self introduction speech in both occasions is: how much and what information do you want the audience to know about you?

How to Interview Like a Top MBA : Job-Winning Strategies From Headhunters, Fortune 100 Recruiters, and Career Counselors

Rule number one is: focus on one speech topic. Do not write an award winning boring autobiography :-)
I recommend you to develop one aspect of your life. That aspect will tell who you are and what you are about.

Some people call this self introduction speech type a one-point speech, because it is based on only one speech idea.

Look at the sample self introduction speech topics below and pick out the aspects of your personal life you want to share with the audience. Approach the list below with the who, what, where, why, how and when questions. It is an effective way to outline your first thoughts for introducing yourself.

1. What activity has played or plays an important part in your life? Tell the story and distract the message.

2. What is your main personal goal?

3. What do you like very much?

4. What do you hate or dislike?

5. Do you have developed a very special skill?

6. What is your lifestyle?

7. Can you come up with a turning point or milestone in you life?

8. What is your hobby or interest in you spare time?

9. What is a pet peeve or another very familiar topic you like to talk about, to do or to discuss?

10. Where you are from? Do your roots reveal something about yourself that is new for the audience? That always works in a speech for self introduction.

11. Is there an object or prop that means a lot to you?

12. What distinguishes you from other individuals?

If you have selected one single speech topic, then use my self introduction sample speech outline - a method to organize your self introduction speech.

7 Self Introduction Strategies for a Successful Interview

7 Self-Introduction Strategies for a Successful Interview

2014-01-26T20:27:00.004-08:00

Fresh out of college? Recently laid off? Re-entering the work force? You can gain an advantage over those dozens of other qualified people interviewing for the same job by using these 7 Self Introduction Strategies for a Successful Interview.

In any interview you want to present yourself as a skilled and knowledgeable professional who is a great team player and enthusiastic about the company and the position for which you are interviewing. These self introduction strategies will help present you in the best light so that you stand out from other interviewees and make the best possible impression during the interview.

1. Preparation - Preparation is key. This means to research the company; find out what they do and how they do it. Has there been some recent online article? Has there been a story about the company, its products or a member of management in a local magazine or newspaper? Perhaps there has been a feature story on the radio or TV? Digging these up and relating them casually during the course of your interview will make a good impression on the interviewer.

Conduct research on the company's products and services. What are they? How do they compare to those of the competition? Who is the competition? How does the company produce or distribute its products or services? What were last year's (or last quarter's) sales figures? Interject these facts into your interview and you will appear knowledgeable, professional and you will definitely stand out from any other interviewee.

Research the position you are applying for. Details may not be possible to uncover, but you should understand the broad responsibilities as well as the specific skills and experience you are bringing to the table. Mention these skills and experience and even if you are wrong about the details of the position, you will still appear as enthusiastic.

2. Rehearsal - Now that you have all the facts about the company, you need to memorize them all and present them in a way that doesn't seem wooden or as if you're reading from a teleprompter. This is where rehearsal comes in. You may try a full blown dress rehearsal wearing the same type of attire that you would wear for the interview. While some people swear this helps, others consider it overkill. Only you can tell.

Recite the facts about the company and present a few relevant details about yourself stressing how much of a team player you are or other bits of information you have gleaned from the job description. How do you fit in? Explain this. How is your experience helpful to the company? Tell them. How can you use your knowledge and skills to benefit your future employer? Let them know. Present these in short "sound bites". Rehearse them until they feel and sound natural and not rehearsed.

3. Questions - You may have heard about how important relevant questions are and you would be right. From your research you should have uncovered several areas you may feel uncertain about or a few things you would like clarification on. These are good things. Write these down. Memorize them if possible, but don't be afraid to pull out a 3x5 card during the course of the interview if you need to remind yourself what your questions are. You can also buy a book at a copyshop or office supply store that features key questions to ask your interviewer. This is always good.

4. Formality - Now that you are at the interview you need to know what to do. Obviously, you need to arrive on time and this means 10 to 20 minutes early. Not 5 minutes. Not 1 minute. Never late! Be early. This will give you time to mentally rehearse the interview in your mind, review your cheat sheet of questions, powder your nose and otherwise prepare yourself comfortably for the interview.

Dress one level up from the position you are applying for. This is a subjective assessment and sometimes I have guessed wrong, but you can rarely go wrong from a neat appearance. If in doubt, dress up.

Be professional, courteous and likable with everyone you meet. You never know whom you are greeting or with whom you may be working when you are hired.

And keep the cell phone off, the PSP at home, and the earbuds and headphones in the car - but, believe it or not - a Bluetooth is ok, if you do not talk on it.

5. Friendly - It is your time to shine! You want to be courteous and friendly to everyone you meet, especially during the interview. Appear likable, smile and lean forward, don't fidget. A few tricks I learned from the NLP school follow, but don't make them obvious.

Try to mirror the position of the interviewer. Match their position with your own. If they cross their legs, wait a minute or two then cross your legs. If they lean forward, count to 30, then lean forward. If they nod their head, nod your head. If you have your resume or notepad in front of you, turn it to mirror any material they may have. Do this with your peripheral vision. Never look directly at something then attempt to mirror it, you will get caught. When answering a question, repeat the question or a few key words of the question or rephrase it before presenting your answer. Be yourself.

6. Interesting - You must capture the interest of your interviewer. You do this by applying the steps above plus you mention a few favorite anecdotes from your experience that demonstrate how you have successfully faced a challenge, resolved a problem, been a good team player, stayed late to complete a project or soothed a disgruntled co-worker or customer. Add a tidbit of your work experience that shows how you have added value to a previous employer. If you get a few of these together - how you have added value - you can use them for that all important question, "why should we consider you for this position?" And this brings us to 7.

7. Unique - Being unique is the key to getting the job. If you stand out from all the other candidates, if you can appear friendly and interesting, if you are on time and dressed appropriately and if you can demonstrate just how much of a positive impact your skills and experience will bring to the company, you will get hired.

By following these strategies of self introduction in interviews you will almost certainly be one of, if not the top choice for consideration.

Get Rich Fast

2013-04-14T23:55:00.002-07:00

Getting rich is as certain as the law of gravity - if you know what to do.

My goal is 100% employment.

I've been involved in corporate finance for over 20 years and have helped some of the countries biggest companies grow from small to very large.

During that period, I studied the difference between success and failure and why some people get rich and most do not.

I researched hundreds of documents and books going all the way back to Babylon and Sumeria and the financial secrets of King Solomon.

I became a mutual funds rep with T. Rowe Price and Invesco.

I provided accounting services to 1-800-Flowers.

I worked as a non-profit and trust tax accountant with KPMG.

As a Family Office manager in Scottsdale AZ, I doubled my clients

portfolio - every year.

I studied the latest techniques of people like Donald Trump, Oprah, Richard Branson and Britney Spears.

I wanted to find a way that would work for everyone.

My goal is 100% employment.

I wanted to find a way for everyone to get rich - to have the money they need to live the lifestyle they desire.

After hundreds of hours of research, dozens of interviews and obtaining certifications and licenses, it hit me.

Now my secret is working for me.

It will work for you too.

And you need very little to get started.

You just need to do what I tell you to do,

when I tell you to do it.

(First tip - sell your stock and transfer it into cash, then invest it in what I tell you.)

Money invested in the stock market, 401k plans, Cd's, annuities, bonds or mutual funds seems very risky and dangerous to me. And the return sucks too.

I have found safe, high yielding investments that can earn

15%,

20%

30%

or more,

every year.

How much are your investments earning for you?

Do you want to be earning more, safely?
