Creating Connections and the Facebook Like

2012-01-28T13:14:00.000-08:00

I have commented in previous post about the need to maximise your Facebook page by creating a welcome page here are some further observations related to the “Like” and ”Talking about this” and Share, Post, Comment on the wall of a page and the growth of your business.

I have visited pages that have high numbers of people, who “like this”, and have high numbers that are “talking about this” and these are great pages they have growing business people talking about them and increased market reach.

What is striking is the difference between these pages and those that have high numbers of people some very high that” Like this” and very low “talking about this” numbers. Simply by their own action these pages are limiting their own growth potential.

The observed difference is that in most cases the high “like this”, high” talking about this” pages do the following

Return “Likes” both as person and as business /fan page.
Actively Share links with their friend and their pages.
Allow wall comment posting.
Do not remove or hide supportive wall comments.
Have a welcome /landing page with a reveal/gateway page to advertise on.
Do not use the wall as their landing page.
Do not use their wall as their product list page.
Opt-in form to send newsletters.
Like and Comment on shared pages or other activity.

These Business/Fan pages are Go Givers and focus on giving more. The page owners understand that it cost little or nothing to give a like and share a page. And in return it increases their reach and the viral nature of their business page GROWTH and advertising reach is evident in the numbers.

By contrast High “like this”, LOW “talking about this” pages do the following

Do not return “Likes” both as person and as business page or like few pages.
Do not allow wall comment posting.
Remove or hide supportive wall comments.
Do not actively Share links with their friend.
Have no welcome landing page with a reveal/gateway page to advertise on.
Do use the wall or info as their landing page.
Do use their wall as their product list page.
Do not have an Opt-in form to send newsletters or have no newsletter.
Like and Comment on shared pages or other activity.
Unlike pages after receiving likes and keep the like from that page owner.

In time these pages can be identified very easily, the numbers and the Info page show these pages clearly for what values they hold. It is sad because some of these pages are great the products are great, they have all the attributes to go viral.

It is to be remembered that the Facebook Fan/Business page is all about connection and reciprocation, the sharing of your page with as many people as you can. It comes down to the page owner, they must ask the question of themselves, Do I want a mediocre page or a viral page, if the latter, Become a Go Giver.

I received this comment as I was writing this post “Thanks for connecting! We've shared the like love! :)" I thank the sender.

Create an Effective Facebook Business Welcome Fan Page for your Business

2012-01-09T00:16:00.000-08:00

Face book is all about connecting with people socially and from a business point of view.
Facebook gave the option for users to create business pages and fan pages.
These pages are extremely valuable Facebook Real-estate and should be used effectively.

After visiting hundreds of Fb Business Pages and Fan pages it is clear that this is an area that most users could improve and get instant results.

There are 5 main passive areas for the promotion of your Business on a Facebook Page

The Page Profile picture (left upper corner)
The Name of your page.
The Picture Strip (under the name).
The Page Canvas (the large area in the centre of your page)
Facebook “Wall” page.

The default landing page for your Facebook is your “wall” this is constantly changing when visitors or the users post comments and other postings and can get rather confusing and messy.

Your Facebook wall should not be your Business Landing Page users should create a Welcome page or about us tab and set this as the landing for your visitors.

Create a page profile picture that promotes your Unique Selling Advantage. (What you do)

Most users place a logo in this area. This is traditional branding and is appropriate in an Off Line situation like a letter Head, Newsletter or Email. In the On-Line Facebook world it is less effective. Why? Because people come to or search your Facebook page by name not your logo Face book give you space for your profile page picture and more, Use it to promote you business Unique Selling Advantage if you create a clever Profile picture, it will give you an advertising thumbnail as well, Remember thumbnails are posted on other peoples pages when you post a comment increasing your reach.

Your page name is very important it is your headline tag, Keep you name relevant, informative and simple, avoid hyphens and other punctuations and company recognisers like Pty.Ltd or LLC or other. They are surplus and confusing to search engines. Keep it simple. Example J. Smith Accounting or JS Accounting. Would be harder to search than John Smith Accounting.

The picture strip is often over looked and are often filled with irrelevant or in appropriate pictures like Xmas parties and other. This is ok for your personal Facebook page but for a business page, well you decide, remember this is page is promoting you to potential clients. The picture strip is a great opportunity to display your leading products or services or other page links. And you can tag them.

The page canvas above the fold (before you scroll) is the most valuable real-estate on Facebook. You can settle for a one level page or double this valuable real-estate with a reveal or gateway page. Think of this as your Businessbook the reveal page is the cover of the book. You can use this cover to promote your book with interesting graphics and content. Most importantly a call to action. The request to click on the LIKE button to enter further.

These pages allow you to collect a Like for your page that will be displayed on their page as likes and in their like list, importantly they allow your visitors to brows your Facebook page quickly with out having to wait for video clips to load. On click of the like button these pages disappear and reveal you welcome page proper. This page can be used for promotion of your business via a video clip, text images and tags the list is as endless as your imagination. But remember you deed to do this above the fold! to get an example Click teamworldtel

There are all sots or reveal/gateway page templates for purchase or free available on the net, find one that suits you and your pocket. here is a good place to start the templates are simple and easy to create.

There is also on very important object that should be included on your welcome page that is an Opt-In form. Opt-In forms are a necessity in these fast moving times the can if set correctly up create complete automation of you page or site. They are designed to do the following functions and more depending on the Opt-in form design. The collection or names, email addresses and other information as you require. They are essential in List creation of your target market. And a response can seek confirmation or permission from your visitor to receive emails, and newsletters from you. They allow Direction to web sites and blogs and allow your visitor to unsubscribe at a time of their choice. Below is an example of an Opt-In form powered by AWeber further information can be found at.

Internet Presence is Great - Internet Search Presence is Grand

2011-12-14T17:09:00.000-08:00

You may be asking why go to this effort to create a Blogger site or Web site in the internet when you possibly have a “generic site” provided by your Network marketing company.

The simple fact is the internet and on line business is the same as a brick and mortar street side business. Only passers by and people you know by will look in to your business.

It is fine to just add your generic shop site and hope that your friends of some one out there will stumble upon your site and look in and you may think this is how the internet works. But the internet reality is it wont!
For your site to be successful, it has to be all about driving people globally into your store because that generates real success.

Generic sites do not have Unique Search differences in the Internet
Simply because of what is called Internet Search Presence or the ability to have a Ranking.

The key to getting people into your site is to be on page one of any search and preferably as high on that page above the fold. Your site is visible before the base of the screen, without scrolling down.
To do this you need a high ranking in a search from a Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Or pay a very large amount of money for the privilege to be on the top 3

A Search Engine is a program that searches documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found ranked according to relevance A search engine is really a general class of programs, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Google and Yahoo these enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web.

Because your store site or your business builders site are what are call “generic”, The webots (the search engine robots) look at a generic sites very differently, they over look these sites in a search ranking, Because all of the information in these sites is the same, it is generic the keywords in the documents are exactly the same there are thousands of these same name sites, same keywords and they rank the same. And the search engine finds these easily and dismisses them from a search.

If the search site systems like Google and Yahoo did rank generic sites a search would show hundreds of pages all the same, in the rankings your generic site would be lost in the masses and the users of the search site systems like Google and Yahoo would be not able to find your organic information.

This is Search Engine Marketing - The act of marketing a web site via search engines, improving rank in organic listings on the Internet the World Wide Web .

Generic sites do not have Unique Search differences on the Internet

Just try a Google search and you will see for yourself, enter your generic site in the search box, you see they do not show up or do but not in your language, but look what is showing up on the search “Teamworldtel and this is real search presence
With the generic sites you have an internet presence and this is great, but you have little or no search presence. People wondering around the Internet cannot find your generic site or store without the full URL your EXACT ADDRESS in the internet shopping mall.

How many sites are out there? Well Billions know one has an exact figure but it is growing every second.
Remember this is just the first step By creating your own unique Blogger site or a unique web site you at least will stand out in the your crowd at your particular Network Marketing niche and that is a grand advantage to attract new people and business to you.

The next step is getting out there in front of your target market as quickly and to as many eyeballs as you can.
It takes time to grow an on line business, keep your expectations in check and use strategies for growth. “Create it and they will come”

The Referral - Who do you know?

2011-12-06T18:43:00.000-08:00

It is a proven fact that if you use your Business Soul and show you care about your clients and how your products and services make a difference or have made a difference in their lives, your clients will enthusiastically and eagerly send you constant stream of Qualified referrals, would be clients to your business. All you have to do is show your current clients what to do!

Most people in Business Focus on the generic value of what your product or service dose.
You must focus on the incredible contribution or benefit that your product or service has made possible for them.

The moment you alter your focus the way you see yourself and your contribution, everything in your Business changes for the better.
Because if you change your sense of self worth, you change the way you look at relationships with your clients. Because every client becomes a valued and dear friend for life they have befriended you and your business and they trusted your with their critical and intimate Buying decisions and the impact these have on their well being, security, happiness, comfort or prosperity.

Having an understanding of this is very important and it is completely in line with the values that follow.Ask yourself. You wouldn’t allow someone important to a valued friend to make a purchase a decision that would impact negatively on them if you could keep it from happening.
Imagine you family members and friends about to spend money on an important purchases and left to their own devices may make a mistake or choose unwisely, would you not intercede?

The answer is yes, and then does this for your client’s friends. Because anyone important to your valued client, has to by nature become important to you. And this means you must for your clients best interests extend yourself at every level to make your products and services available to anyone in their lives who might need your advice or help.

Make your referral system Formal
Step 1; Ask every client that deals with you but first set the stage. What do I mean by this?

Tell your client you have enjoyed doing business with them and they probably know people like themselves that have the same values and Qualities
Tell your client that you would like to extend to them the opportunity of referring their valued and trusted associates to you.
Then help your client see a clear picture of who in their lives could benefit most from your products and services.
Tell them what person or business it might be that could benefit. Show them that they may be buying products and service's now that are inferior or lesser value.

Step 2; Gratefully offer to talk or meet with anyone important to that client. Explain that you will only offer without expectation of purchase, so your client can see clearly you as a valuable expert with whom they can put their friends and associates in touch with.

Establishing a referral template
Demographics’ “What is your”; your targeted market is the people your product and services are aimed at
The referrer, “the who can”; the people or the businesses that can refer you or put you in touch with your target market.
Get yourself organised.

Product must be good and valuable
Position yourself as different USA your unique selling advantage.
Proud of yourself and what you do.
Personable Show interest in your current client value them ask them about themselves.
Give logical and emotional reasons why
Have your client call or directly contact them
Offer incentive if you can to client and possible client
Keep in contact with clients that have given referrals in the past
Ask for testimonials help them write one.
Thank them

Ask questions: and Jog their memory

Who do you know …………..
People they are in contact with regularly.
Or people that they think about because of a social event of some kind
Other network marketing people they are in contact with.
There are many suggestions on getting referrals.

It all comes to zero. “If you don’t ask your client for a referral” Ask and you shall receive!

Lead Generation Part 1

2011-12-06T18:33:00.000-08:00

Lead Generation is the process of attracting people to what you do!

List creation is simply the result of Lead generation

So how do we attract people to what we are doing?

The obvious way is advertising been around for years millions of dollars are spend every day by companies big and small so it must work.The challenge for Home based Businesses is the cost of advertising is prohibitive. So we need to be innovative and look at other ways of Generating Leads as well.

Your warm list

All network marketing companies will teach you too “make a list” of all the people you know.

This is excellent advice and works well. So Create a List very important.

Research scientist have worked out that the average person comes in contact with a minimum of 2000 people, as we move through our lives. It is remembering them that are the difficulty that is why we use memory joggers and strategies of that like.

Your warm List and your skill level are the only assets you bring when you come to a Networking Business.

However the challenge with this warm list approach is that you may soon run out of people. Secondly the people you have on your list may not have the skill level to perpetuate momentum and growth. You can teach them but momentum suffers. The need to find new people becomes paramount.

The first possibility is the Referrals “The someone you should meet”. “The who do you know “.

Referrals are absolutely the best source of qualified business clients with out exception. To master this you need to set up a formal referral system and use it with all of your warm list people. Because having a system formalised means you will use it every time you are presenting to a person whether or not they are becoming a client with you.

You are teaching your new client business partner this approach at their presentation and your client will notice and duplicate what you are doing.
You are looking for referrals of qualified people they know who know a person and so on.

This is the ethical us of other peoples warm lists do this with the utmost integrity at all times. Remember your Business Soul.
Mastering the way to get referrals is extremely important to your success it is a process. Please follow my blog suggestions on this. Who Do You Know?
Internet and Social Media
These forms of lead generation work better for a business that is more global or national if your Network marketing business is more local, you may not get massive results. But hey it is your business and it is up to you.
Driving people to your sites is the key to generating massive Lead generation. It can take time and a lot of tweaking to get there but when it happens, WOW!
There are some amazing strategies and you will need just to explore the web and experiment.
Remember to focus on your target market, for best results you want to prequalify as many people as you can quickly and with as little time. You are sorting!
I will briefly go through some of the recognised best places to focus on.
But remember if you find something that works for you “Just do more of it”

Facebook is by far the leader in social networks the prime function of Facebook is SOCIAL the boffins at face book have realised that this is a great business resource for lead generation.
I have a blog post: Know Why Facebook Matters to Your Business this post how to maximise Facebook with in the terms and conditions and is very comprehensive.
Also take a look at my Facebook page TEAMWORLDTEL Social Networking.
Take note of the use of the Fan Gate/Like Gate Option of my welcome page. It is difficult to get qualified leads from this but it can be done with the use of Opt in and auto responder technology.
And works best with a personalised website or a Blog like this blog you are on you can also check out this blog Netbizfacts for ideas.
Look at other people’s Facebook and pages and get ideas for yours. Become their friend and like their page.
YouTube is a video publishing and viewing platform. You can create an account, but you will need a Gmail account with Google so set that up first. They are easy to set up. Once a Google Gmail account is set you simply set up a YouTube account. This is where you can publish your video content on line and share it back to Blogs. Websites, Facebook and just about every social networking site you can imagine. It is very simple and YouTube has a major social networking feature and it functions much like Facebook. A blog will be posted soon on how to maximise YouTube I am still working on it

Blogs have gone out of fashion lately but to a network marketer a blog is an essential tool it allows you to post all number of interesting and not so interesting postings on topics. It gives you a website presence without the cost of hosting a web site. I use my blog as a repository for all manner of coaching and training material as you have experience. A blog can be used to advertise you products and services and increase the interaction with people the will eventually become leads for you. The use of Opt in and Auto responders make a blog a powerful tool in lead generation and give you the opportunity to prequalify leads.
There is also the opportunity to monetize your blog and earn and income by becoming and associate with companies like Google ad sense, Click Bank and Amazon.
url address” so you can direct people to your blog or pages in your blog.Video and photos can also be posted. If you were redirected to this site you are on a Blog post or page. I use Facebook as one of my the out there in your face advertising medium for bulk lead generation and direct people to my blog where it is possible to educate and prequalify them and direct them to the best opportunity for them where needed. It is all free. This is a strategy of mine other are different, how you use a blog is up to you but respect this medium it is very powerful.

Websites have all the features of a blog and much more the cost money to host and can require more specialised skills to maintain. If you have these then a site is the way to go. They are harder for most to update and this is possibly the only down side. Use it the same as a Blog direct all your traffic to your site and redirects as directions in the blog section above.
Lead Generation is a very large subject and I will need to create a Part 2 and maybe a part 3 Stay posted.

Welcome to the place of Infinite Possibility and Opportunity

2011-12-06T17:58:00.000-08:00

I have come to find throughout my career as an Entrepreneur that there are basically three kinds of income opportunity seekers. Which do you fall under?

You may be a Part Timer. Are you looking to simply supplement your income? Or you just want a little extra spending money. You might be looking for that little bit of extra cash flow that will allow you to pay off debts quicker or a little extra for your monthly bills. Whatever you choose to be will be done part time and will not be your main source of income.

You may be a Full Timer. You are seeking to completely replace your current income. You may have a job you don’t enjoy or a business that is consuming your time, you just want to replace your current income. So whatever income opportunity you find, you’ll be committed to making it happen but content with just replacing and if possible,will accept an increase in income.

Or you may be a Wealth Builder.You are the BIG thinker. You aren’t content with a mediocre income or with just simply replacing or staying at the same level. You are builders and will invest
the time necessary to make sure their income is increasing. You are the leaders in my income opportunity. You are the ones that are teaching the others that are part timers and Full timers how to get what they are looking for and set the pace for other wealth builders. This is the lifestyle change category. You are the ones who reach financial independence and through leverage, have the
time to enjoy it.

So which do you belong to? What are you looking to do? Make a little extra each month, replace your current income or build true wealth? This is an income opportunity for all three individuals….but there’s one thing you should know…..even the wealth builders only work
part-time. This opportunity has leverage, leverage over your time so that you can focus on the more important things in life while achieving your financial goals at the same time.

I am a great believer in truth and choice and if you choose to look further in this information and my blog you will find Truth, Choice, and Opportunity.

Note: I only work with those who are SERIOUS and know exactly what they want to use the income for! So if you are that person, fill out the contact form below and request more information.

The best place to start is at the beginning and that is the page titled “Great Expectations”

When you have read this page you will understand my difference and the values that I hold close.
If they are in alignment with yours, we will have a long and prosperous relationship and I look forward to working with you and helping you grow a very large Enterprise wether it is with us or not.

I congradulate you for deciding to take control and make a difference in your Life
Have fun and enjoy Great Expectations and beyond

Speak soon.

3 Quick and Easy Facebook Tweaks You Can Do Right Now

2011-12-02T15:37:00.000-08:00

Our goal is NOT to load you up with "things to do" in your Facebook.

Hopefully you already have an overall approach to how you want to use Facebook for business.

It’s to make consistent daily, weekly, monthly progress. In order to make this progress, you must perform “tweaks” as you go. It’s these “tweaks” that help you reach the point to where you’re doing the minimum amount and still achieving maximum results.

There are 3 Quick Facebook Tweaks You Can Do Right Now

Why Should You Do It? These changes will give your Facebook business page a little extra eyeball time. They make everything count. This always helps as it relates to “getting noticed” and “staying relevant.”

First Facebook Tweak Upload a picture for your Page that is 180×540 pixels

(Note this is you page picture not your Profile) click Post: Know Why Facebook Matters to Your Business

Your Page Picture should accomplish one of the following:

Your Page’s main picture lets people know about upcoming events. And your page Selling headline. NOT YOUR COMPANY NAME ref my page

If you’re hosting an event or webinar. Include text that lets them know when it will take place. Don’t do this all the time, but every now and then it will help remind people that there’s something important going on.

Get your fans involved.

Have them submit pictures demonstrating appreciation of your product. Showcase them as part of your picture. Tell them they will be featured. They will tell their friends to check your page out.

Second Facebook Tweak “Update your page 3-5 times a day”

Keeping your page updated might take a little bit of time, but it helps you stay relevant on people’s news feeds. Remember, people are updating constantly, and if you update only once, it is very easy to get lost in the newsfeed of other Facebook users. Updating a few times a day shows that you are relevant and will ensure that your page gets the attention it needs.

Marketing Is All About the “Tweaks”

Your goal is to find where you can do the minimum amount and still achieve maximum results. This only occurs after a consistent process of making tweaks – slight adjustments. Today you learned 3 such “tweaks” that will help you reach your marketing goals.

Third Facebook Tweak “Let people know you have a Facebook page”.

To do this you need a social Plug-in. A Social Plug-in is html code that you can add to your blog’s sidebar which will render a box with your page’s name, the main image, and you are given an option to show your stream of updates.

To add a Facebook Like Box to your blog’s primary sidebar, follow these directions.

Once inside Facebook, at the top right click

Account/Use Facebook as page/your page

So now you’re logged in as your Facebook Business Page.

NOTE: this post isn’t for you if you don’t have a Facebook Business Page, Not sure if you should have a Facebook Page or not, read this post: Know Why Facebook Matters to Your Business

Edit page (top left)

Resources

Under the “Connect with people” subheading, go to “use social plug-in.”

I recommend the Like Box. The Like Box enables users to like your Facebook Page and view its stream directly from your blog.

Choose your color scheme and check the boxes as you desire.

Make sure the Facebook URL is changed to the one for your Page. When finished, click “Get Code” and copy/paste the one under “iframe.” Copy and paste the code on a text document.

Now head on over to your blog. Log into your blog and from your dashboard.

Find Appearance on your left hand side menu.

Under Appearance click on Widgets.

Search among the Available Widgets until you find the Text widget. Grab and drag and drop the Text/ html widget to your Primary Sidebar. Then open the Text/html widget and paste the code into the box. Click “Save”.

You should now have the Facebook Like Box on your blog sidebar.

You can move this into that position you want

Posting a Facebook Status Update is the most integral facet of Facebook. keep things simple, and be efficient with time and strategy.

It is important to create a Facebook updating strategy that works for you. Because you don’t want to feel guilty about how much or little time you’re putting into being present at Facebook. Start by learning:

Why you’re only as good as your last post

When to post and what to post

The best tools to curate content in your industry

Getting started with your action plan

“Getting people to engage and interact with your posts and click the Facebook LIKE button next to your posts is crucial.”

If you’re last post had no interaction at all not only will Facebook take note, but your fans who saw it will too, and quickly become uninterested. That’s why it’s important to track what’s working and what’s not in order to keep your content fresh, inviting and interesting.

It’s a great idea to track the links you share on Facebook using link shortener’s. Like Bit.ly. about using Bit.ly.

Because, Bit.ly links save you from long and garish looking URLs. Bit.ly helps you collect, organize, shorten and share your links.All links shared via Bit.ly allow users to view complete, real-time traffic and analytics data. Bit.ly also powers more than 10,000 custom short URLs and offers an analytics service that helps users grow their social media traffic.

The next thing to use is Facebook Insights. Only available for Business Pages.

1) The average number of LIKES and/or comments.

These stats provide information on your engagement and interaction. It tracks the LIKES and number of comments per post. Get know what posts work and don’t work.

2) Unlikes.

Watch for UNLIKE spikes. Then pay attention to the content you posted at the time of the UNLIKE spike. This will give you insight as to why people left your page.

Start Thinking About Your Facebook Updates, how to Get In Front of More People!

Remember anything posted on Facebook whether it’s a link or video or picture status update, are all considered as an object.

You need to know the following… read this article! How Facebook Ranks Your Page

These edges will determine what Facebook thinks is important enough to put into the top news feeds of your fans. You want to show up in the TOP NEWS of your Facebook home page. That’s the page that is displayed by default when you click your Home button. It gets a lot of eye balls looking!

Your goal is to get into the top news feeds. Here’s how!

If they are Commenting and more weight is given to comments than LIKE's.

LIKING. /unliking,

Master WHAT to Post.

7 Steps to Create and Promote Your Facebook Business Page

2011-12-01T22:58:00.000-08:00

A lot of people ask what they should be doing to build out their Facebook Business Page. This post delivers the seven steps I have taken to build my Facebook Business Page.

Here are the 7 Steps to Create and Promote Your Facebook Business Page

1. Create your page for your Product, Service, Program or Business.

Or just focus on your passions, it’s a good idea to at least create your own Facebook page.

2. Create a custom Welcome page.

Use video on this Welcome page.

If you’re not an established brand, we definitely encourage the video.

In the video, answer the following questions: Who you are, What you do, What’s in it for them, show your personality (keep it casual and friendly) and ask for the LIKE in the video.

And here is a good example of a video Welcome page at Teamworldtel

3. Add your Facebook Page to your profile page.

If you want to optimize your Facebook profile for your business, this simple (yet effective) tip can help you do just that!

Make sure your Facebook Business page gets the most visibility on your Facebook Profile. Go to your profile click on edit profile click on education and work and in the Employer field type in your employers name and if you have a page your page will come up in the drop down list just click on that.

4. Create a branded, full size wall image.

Create your wall image so that it’s the maximum size Facebook allows (180 x 540 pixels). The reason – it’s your billboard. Lots of eyeballs fall on this image. Maximize it. Let people know what you do.

5. Add the LIKE button and LIKE box to your website.

Get that here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

6. Post regularly. Like 3-5 times per day.

First goal should be to encourage engagement NOT pitching your business. Be sure to create a Facebook update strategy that works for you.

7. Experiment with Facebook ads for 30 days.

You can get started with a budget even as low as $5 to $10 a day. But don’t do it unless you already have the previous six steps in place. Never pay for ads if you don’t have an end goal.

Know Why Facebook Matters to Your Business

2011-12-01T22:25:00.000-08:00

Don’t ignore it. Facebook is here to stay. It’s now “normal.”

There are over 600 MILLION plus and growing active users on Facebook It’s safe to say your ideal audience is on Facebook.

Entrepreneurs and businesses of every size have a Facebook Page –and if you don’t, people start thinking you’re “behind the times.”

It is a social networking site enabling people to share information between each other freely on the Internet.

There are terms and conditions as to using Facebook

And Facebook don’t like you using your personal profile for business

However with in Facebook you have the option to create great looking pages and these can be used tastefully and for this purpose.

If you have not setup a personal Facebook account it is a simple process. Go to www.facebook.com and sign up just follow through a process it takes only a few minutes.

You will need to set your personal profile up and how you want the world to see you. The settings allow you to keep almost everything private.

Account Settings and Privacy

On the right next to the Home tab is a drop down arrow by clicking on that you get (Account settings and Privacy Settings) click on these to reveal settings options.

The settings allow you to control how your FRIENDS can have input on your Facebook.

Click the button right top (Edit Profile)

A page with all the profile, add picture and general info comes up.

Enter your details along side these edit boxes are an icon when clicked will reveal a drop down selection of how you want that information viewed. (Public, Friends, Only me. Custom)

On the left is the list of pages you can edit.

This is up to you!

More settings

Inviting Friends

One of the first things you will notice is that you can invite friend to be your Facebook friend.

This is the prime function of Facebook Social networking the sharing of information between friends.

These can be organised into categories or lists you have family and acquaintances but there are others lists like the school you went to, you can also create your own lists.

This is one of many steps you can take to streamline your Facebook and get it network marketing ready.

Are You Starting to See How Powerful Facebook Friends List Segmentation Can Be?

This is one common sense secret that a lot of others aren’t applying that virtually all online marketers fail to use. Why? Not because it’s complicated, expensive, or torture to implement, but simply because they don’t know. It may be the most overlooked strategy in marketing.

This method will help you uncover hidden revenue right now from your Facebook network without adding any more friends or creating any more content.

Using this method is the best way to ensure the right updates get shown to the right people at the right time. This means you’re getting peoples’ attention and we all know that’s the first battle to be won.

This is the targeted approach is the ultimate way for the beginner to capitalize without having a large email list.

These techniques are equally powerful whether your list is huge or you only have a few hundred

The Why:

You have friends, family, and business connections, so you should direct your posts to the appropriate people without having to create a whole other Facebook account just for your business contacts (you’re not supposed to do that anyway).

You can keep everyone in the same place and just designate your status updates to be viewed by certain groups

The How:

Log into Facebook.

Click “Account” at the top right corner of your Facebook page.

Click “Edit Friends.”

Click the button that says, “+Create a List.”

Click the images of each person who will be a part of that list. Let’s start with just your friends and relatives.

When you’ve selected all the people who you consider to be friends and family, go to the box where you see the words “Enter A Name” and start typing the name for this list. For the sake of this exercise, title it “Friends and Family” then click “Create List.”

You will then see the people you’ve added to that list.

When you want to revisit that list to make any future changes, do this:

Account – Edit Friends

Look to the left and click on the name of the list “Friends and Family”

Add any new people by typing their names into the bar that says “Type a friend’s name to add…”

Easy enough, right?

When inviting friends to your Facebook you need to put them in these lists. Because it will be easier to send specific targeted information to them in the future if you have them in organised lists Simple

Create Page

You can also setup a Landing PAGE as mentioned if you are Facebook savvy you can do yourself. With the Create Page Button

You can see the type of page you can create on my Facebook. Teamworldtel Social Networking

I recommend you visit The Social Networking Academe. this is an amazing site to learn all you want to know about Facebook. It is simple and visual. There is lot of free advice and information on how to create a welcome page and using the opt-in generators to automate your page. There are also free page templates.

Facebook just let them know the I sent you please?

3 Common Facebook Mistakes You Can Avoid

2011-12-01T04:26:00.000-08:00

Today, I’m going to cover 3 common mistakes that you must avoid with Facebook networking, marketing and etiquette in general.

Facebook Mistake #1; Don’t ignore comments.

First off, it’s rude. No one should ignore comments. Address the comments you receive why? Because it’s common courtesy just like if someone said “hello” to you in a shop, you’d say “hello” back. Maybe you will even strike up a conversation. Think “engagement” on purpose. It is all about connecting with people.

But here’s something you might not know about returning comments…

The more you engage on a one-on-one level with your fans via their comments, the more likely your page will be put into the Top News feed. So when your fans post on your Facebook wall, try to respond in real time – if possible. Not always possible, which is why I recommend setting up designated times to “man” your Facebook Page.

For me that’s in the earlier part of the morning, and usually once again mid-day. This practice also creates routine, and consistency. For the most part, this way you can almost train your fans and they get to know you’re routine. Be there on your page to engage.

Facebook Mistake #2; Just because you have a Facebook page doesn’t mean anyone will LIKE it or comment on it.

I learned this the hard way when we first began my Facebook page. For starters, I wasn’t engaging with the comments that were written, wasn’t promoting the page, and I wasn’t getting great results. I see this mistake with many Internet marketers who are new to Facebook

You have A LOT to offer. Facebook is just like real life, you only get out of it what you put into it. Get clear on what works and do just enough to get the maximum results. Finding what works for you is going to require that you do much more than you should at first. Then you’ll see how you can reduce that down to make it sustainable in long term.

Mistake #3 Don’t make too many static posts.

Here’s why Not all fans are alike. Some like photos, others like video while others like reading the posts with links. So it’s important to mix up the media and catch the attention of your entire audience.

Finally; It’s amazing how logical and easy this stuff is. You’ve been reminded of things you already probably know for networking and marketing on Facebook. Avoid these 3 common Facebook mistakes and you’ll be alright hey everybody makes them.

Creating value not just savings

2011-12-01T04:09:00.000-08:00

In today’s market the difference between different corporation’s products and services are small and incremental.

People are always interested in savings, but this alone will not excite them into action unless the savings are very great.

Your product quality may be exceptional
The company may be the worlds best
The service may be unmatched

There may be many more attributes of your product service of company that should make you stand out in the crowd.

These are all great individually, but this approach is not as effective in today’s market as they once were.

Because in today’s market what people are looking for is VALUE!

More importantly the Value Perceived by them to be of importance to them.

This is the switch you are looking for, because it will remove resistance to purchase what ever it is you are marketing from the Products the services and your business opportunity and make no mistake your business opportunity a product as well. You may not see it that way. But your clients may.

The potential clients that you approach will have preconceptions about everything; they have been sold too by the planets best, subjected to many, many years of expert advertising, bombarded every day. They are simply weary of this approach and it has made them cautious to anything new. They have resistance.

In Network marketing your clients are your friends and acquaintances the people you know.

If you have not read my blog on Your Business Soul, I suggest you do because it will give you insight. The way you view people is how you will treat them subconsciously. It will show you the way to create value in yourself. The way you become valuable to your friends.

Without your “business soul” aligned with your personal values you are just another sales person trying to get into their pocket. And trust me they will see it that way they have been trained to by all the advertising and previous experiences.

You may be a great friend or their mother, father, son, daughter, untie, uncle, sister. But you are a sales person with a little leverage.

What you are looking for is the value switch that will turn your client on to what you have to offer.

Unlike an electrical switch there is no universal switch, everyone has a different switch.

The difference between you and a sales person of the street is that you have personal knowledge of your client they are not a cold market but a warm market to you. You have the trust of friendship.

If you abuse it you will loose it!

You can ask for a Favour Help Try that may work well, because they want to help you out, do you a favour as family or a friend, they may see your friendship as to having value to them.

In the end it will be the perceived value to them that will be the deciding factor in Favour Help Try.

But this is still being “Me focused” not “Them Focused” and ultimately is short time and more importantly, this is not in line with your Business Soul and your long term.

So how do you find there perceived value switch. Just become a giving friend! To give them what they really Need and be aligned with your Business Soul.

By asking your Clients /Friends questions, they will direct you to their needs, problems and desires.

Then simply become a problem solver, a solutions provider, a go giver. Put their needs ahead of yours.

Become the person the friend who ethically fulfils their needs, helps them to achieve their desires, and to solve their problems, what ever they may be. Become a trusted friend to them, not a sales person selling.

It is important to understand that you may not be able to fulfil your entire friend’s needs from your own products and services, so be it. It is what it is!

You may be able to advise them that the best solution for their needs can be found elsewhere. Being a trusted advisor is a long term position. Point them in that direction. Do them a favour and it will be returned 10 fold.

Why do I know this to be so because it works! There is a fundamental human value we all hold deep in our humanness. The value called;”Reciprocation”.

A blog on Reciprocation, now that sound interesting, stay posted!

Here is a thought Why not practice Reciprocation and share this blog with your friends see what happens?

Facebook Etiquette, a List of “Don’t Dos”

2011-12-01T03:54:00.000-08:00

Everyone is different about what they think is okay and not okay to do on Facebook. If you have an opinion, we would like for you to sound off about it here. Thank you Ann Seig.

After reading a well known marketer’s Facebook page, it’s confirmed everything I’ve always believed to be a “don’t do.”

I’ve compiled a list here. This post condenses and summarizes all of the “don’t dos” I gathered from the page I referenced above plus some that I thought were left out.

Use these “social offenses” as a learning tool for what not to do on Facebook.

Oversell

Post business opportunity related information out of no where

Profanity (especially the “F” word)

Personal drama

Friend request plus immediate post on Facebook wall about your business opportunity

Political bashing. Religious or spiritual bashing. Any kind of bashing, especially…

…Bashing another network marketing company, and trying to bring them over to your company

Posting under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Whining. Or dooming, glooming, negative talking. Complaining

Pilfering of friends list. Don’t friend up someone then friend up all 4,470 their friends

Games i.e. Farmville

Derogatory remarks toward other people

Adding someone to a group without permission

Tagging other people in photos for “cheap” exposure

Not sending a personal message with friend request

Sex talk

Consistent complaining about this or that, or did I already post that one?

Your turn. Please add your own list of “Don’t Do on Facebook” in the comments below.

Master your Mind set

2011-11-30T00:33:00.000-08:00

The 4 personality types
Different personalities there are basically 4 personality types as far as we are concerned in Network Marketing.
So for Network Marketing purposes the population can be effectively divided into four 25 percent sections.
As a Network Marketing and in the real world our lives and the economy are in a state of constant change this is natural,
Human beings by there very nature are resistant to change, sometimes even for their own good. Understand also every generation produces these 4 personality types so it is not an age thing.

IT is important to understand that we have all of these 4 personality types in some way on some level, but you will find that one will be the dominant personality type. I discussed these personalities’ types in the context of Network Marketing. I have seen all of these personalities excel in the industry that is Network Marketing. In all cases it has been a matter of the Right Time meeting the Right Opportunity.

To label people is disingenuous and disrespectful these are personality types for your understanding.

1 Fixed personality types; these have fixed in their minds their perception of how every thing in the world is according to them. They will have a strong opinion on any and all subjects and tend to lean to the negative about anything new. Generally speaking you can recognise a fixed mindset personality by the “always right attitude”. Fixed personality types generally lost to new ideas and in the scheme of change in the world the will change very slowly or not at all. Please recognise that you may be in a relationship with a fixed personality. The advice is to love and respect them and their perception of the world as they see it and want to live in it. In Network Marketing they are nonstarters.

2 Comfortable personality types; are not fixed but are comfortable about their lot in life, they realise that all is not right with their world but they lack the motivation and desire to change. They can be recognised in general by their behaviour. They are likely to be the personality type that would rather lie on the couch and watch TV, even if the house was burning down around them so to speak. They may even have achieved success in some field and are perceive that they are financially comfortable they tend too have checked out emotionally from life and its constant change. Again love them with all your hart but to Network Marketing they are tend to be lost to us, unless massive change moves them into some sort of action. In Network Marketing they are also nonstarters.

3 The Joiner personality type; the lets have fun types, for these personality types tend to not want to miss out on anything. They join almost anything, just to say that they are part of it. They are normally enthusiastic and may be recognised as habitual event attendees, they always show great promises, but in the Network Marketing business I find they tend to require you’re most important and precious commodity “Your time” and this can be frustrating. There enthusiasm is short lived maybe until the next shiny opportunity comes along a kind of wondering generality. Dedication, commitment and focus on the end goal tend to be low. Because of the time you may invest in the joiner type they can be a huge drain on your emotional reserves and can greatly influence your Dedication, commitment and focus on the end goal you “Why”. In Network Marketing these personality types are starters but generally are non finishers and are likely too quit along the way they may try to get you to quit in support of them. It is important to recognise this type of personality quickly, be supportive of them but remain steadfast in your goals don’t become one of them a wondering generality.

4 This personality I call winners so how do we recognise them. They tend to be the personality type that excels in most things they take an interest in. They may be high level retired from sports or successful in business or that someone you know that is always on the go doing something. Winners come from all walks of life! What winners understand is the need to be coach able and to be coached or mentored. They are heavily into personal development and read or listen to personal development materials. Winners set goals and have a game plan for their life. They understand desire and commitment and have the ability and skill to focus their mind like a laser on their goals. They attract winner type personalities to them, more than likely other winners. They are contributing to society on many levels, they are givers not takers. These are the personality type you want in your Network Marketing business at any level.

Positive or Negative Mind SetPositive thinking people tend to look at the glass as half full while negative thinking people see it half empty it is a simple test. You will notice I used Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking. Not positive people and negative people these are labels and all labels are disingenuous and disrespectful.

The amazing thing is that positive and negative thoughts are just a flash of electrons in your brain that perceive either a positive or negative situation that seems very real at the time. A thought a perception.
The other amazing fact of the human brain supported by science is that positive and negative thoughts cannot occupy the same space.
This implies that we have a choice in the matter we get an opportunity to make a decision do I choose to look at life in a positive manner or do I choose to look at life in a negative manner.
It is your choice!
The other amazing thing is what we choose is what we get more of. I do not know why this is so but it is. No doubt there will be a professor that can explain this much better than I can.

In this case the reason why dose not matter. It is the result that matters.
But the fact is they are thoughts that we perceive and we have a choice in the matter.
These thoughts are the basis of our Emotions.

In Network Marketing these positive and negative emotions (thoughts) are often associated with a roller coaster ride. The emotional roller coaster.
So much time and energy is given to helping people understand and cope with the emotional roller coaster of Network Marketing. So what causes these ups and downs? EXPECTATIONS or more importantly expectations that we set and are not met. Expectations come from our thoughts so we have choice here as well!

Now some of you will be saying well if I don’t have and set expectations I won’t achieve my goals and that is a valid point.
The emotional roller coaster is happening to you because your goals are short term goals from short term thinking, it is this short term thinking that makes the ride wild and you feel (thought) that you have no control over it.
So what is the first thing you must do to be a participant on the emotional roller coaster ride?

Answer you must get in it or on it. WHY?
It is your choice!

What I have found is that by having long term Goals and long them thinking you also have long term expectations and you will get their faster, because you are not wasting energy and time on coping with the effects of the emotional roller coaster. Yes there will be disappointments and yes there will be successes it is a journey, it is the long term thinking that will get your goals.

Having this mind set also has a greater attraction. You appear to have less desperation and a sense of calmness. People are attracted to this. It makes them curious of what you are doing!

Think of it this way. When you were dating, by giving off the air of confidence and calmness did you have better results than when you appeared desperate? People are not attracted to desperate people it is a fact in nature. Why I honestly do not know. What I do know is that if you master this strategy you will have greater success why, because it works! People like strong confident people.

Employee Vs Business mindset
I am surprised how many people come to Network marketing as Independent Business Owners (they have purchased a business) and then maintain the representative mentality, the employee mind set.

It is understandable the fact is we are all trained like Pavloff’s Dogs from a very young age to become employees think like employees and act like employees. That is sad about this is that for many the training is so complete they cannot see it?
How did this happen? Simply an outdated belief from a time long gone “the industrial revolution”! Don’t believe me? Short History lesson, prior to the industrial revolution children if their parents could afford it were educated at home by a tutor home Schooling. Those parents unable to afford home tutoring or were uneducated, well basically their children were left uneducated to do menial work.
With the industrial revolution came expensive machinery housed in mills and the mill owners (the landed gentry) soon realised that they needed an educated work force to operate this expensive machinery. The educated landed gentry just would not do (conditions were very poor). Private Corporation schools were introduced then them mill owners (landed gentry) persuaded the governments of the day (more landed gentry) that public government schools would be a great idea.
Children would be required to be at school at a certain time. The ringing of a bell or the Corporation whistle was used. They worked for a time and a bell would be rung for lunch break and also rung at the end of the days school work. If you have children at school or if you are an employee you will know that not much has changed in a hundred or so years has it? Well we commute our children to school like we commute to work.
Fortunately for us all the world has changed. Today we now have Telecommunications, Computers, the World Wide Web (Internet), Video telecommunications, mobile telecommunications, Television, Social Networks. Network Marketing and we even have “Home Schooling”
We have the tools that allow us to have home based businesses.

Step 6 Personal Developments through Self Education and Training

2011-11-30T00:15:00.000-08:00

“IT’S YOUR CHOICE”
“IT ‘S YOUR BUSINESS”
“NO CUSTOMERS - NO BUSINESS”
“NO INTEREST –NO PRESENTATION”
“MASTER YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE- MASTER YOUR FUTURE”
“FOLLOW THROUGH - SUCCESS IS UP TO YOU”
“IFYOU ARE NOT GROWING YOUR DYING”
We all need it is absolutely true; if you are not growing then you’re dying!

Generally I have found new network marketers come with a belief that they need to have a complete knowledge of the Products and services and the systems and their workings that they are prompting. This is simply not true. And is very much an impediment to momentum and in some cases the failure to gain very lucrative Quick Start Bonuses.

Network marketers must acquire information it is not the information itself that is important, too much information this leads to overload and information is fluid and changing anyway.

What is more important is that they must have is the knowledge of where information can be found quickly. Mastering this where to find Knowledge is what will allow you to stand out in the crowd and be a leader of others. In most cases in your umbrella company’s IBO web sites or back office sites. Should have all the information you need about their products and services.

Personal development is personal growth eventually you will be a leader in this industry and you can only lead through personal growth.

The best Networking companies produce the finest personal development tools you can possibly want and you normally get these as part of your business registration fee. They spend hundreds of thousand of dollar on these so Use them why because they work!

The best Networking Company’s hold Events, International, Regional and local training where information is disseminated.

Our IBO’s are Encouraged to attend these they are informative and fun.

Your Company may hold Webinars, Training Conference Calls and Weekly training events in your area.

Take from these what you need, hype is not helpful, Information is. Recognise the difference and remember it is YOUR BUSINESS stay focused on Customer Growth and Business Building and Success will come.

Keep it simple
Show your clients how it works
Show them how they can do it.
Leave the decision to be part of your organisation up to them!
LEAD BY EXAMPLE! “Others are watching you”
Never stop learning
Never stop reading personnel development books

Always strive to reducing these 6 steps to the basic values doing this will create better results than information overload.

As have mentioned mastery of the 6 steps is what you are striving for. In this blog I have given you a basic overview so you can make a start. Over the next few weeks I will be adding more comprehensive information to this blog on related topics, so please keep following.

The information I have shared should get you started on the right track and keep you there, save you time and money.

Step 5 Master the effective follow up or follow through

2011-11-30T00:06:00.000-08:00

“IT’S YOUR CHOICE”
“IT ‘S YOUR BUSINESS”
“NO CUSTOMERS - NO BUSINESS”
“NO INTEREST –NO PRESENTATION”
“MASTER YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE- MASTER YOUR FUTURE”
“FOLLOW THROUGH - SUCCESS IS UP TO YOU”
Like in golf swing the follow through is extremely important it is where most Network Marketing lose the plot.They continue to sell their Business Opportunity or their product they become hard sell sales people in Network Marketing I have heard this described as being persistence. For me this is harassment!
The problem with this approach is that your future business partner may go into witness protection and refuse to take your calls. How bad is that especially if they are your friends and family they stop rejecting your offer and start rejecting you! Not just now but it could be forever.
A no now is not a no forever it is more than likely a matter of timing.
The effective strategy is to answer questions and educate your client, NOT to sell. The time for selling was at your presentation and the company DVD should have done that. The follow up is the time to help your client to decide on either becoming a business partner or customer or both.

They are looking for answers to their questions! Not a hard sell!

New IBO’s dislike this step because the answer the get may not be what they are expecting and they are trying to close the deal.
They fail to follow through simply because of lack of knowledge. If you can’t follow through then get your Up line involved they will help you to do it simply introduce them to your Buyer and let them answer their questions.
Not following up or following through by answering your potential clients questions is Failure Point 5 (the follow through is up to you)
Another strategy is to get them to come to the next event training, a business meeting, a webinar the more exposures you can get your client in front of the better. It is a process of social closure let them close the deal. It works.

You must remember the word “CHOICE” they always have the right to not do what you do or buy what you sell. The CHOICE is theirs and ownership of the decision must remain with your client their desire not what you desire.

Look the main reasons people do not take up your offer are perceived Timing and skill set. Timing may not be right for them now and a “No” now is not a “No” in the future. Timing will always come right and skill set can be learned. Go back to them and educate them.

If you are lacking in knowledge use you Up line and get yourself educated in Network Marketing this is personal development.

Step 4 Master the Effective Presentation Method

2011-11-29T23:57:00.000-08:00

“IT’S YOUR CHOICE”
“IT ‘S YOUR BUSINESS”
“NO CUSTOMERS - NO BUSINESS”
“NO INTEREST –NO PRESENTATION”
“MASTER YOUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE- MASTER YOUR FUTURE”
Your presentation is the store window. From here on this is the time to impress people with your Products and Services. This is your big break!
You have only a small window of opportunity to get the message across. So get it right, Master this step and master your future.

The presentation is also a process

The right environment is very important
Remember if yours is a home based business then THEIR HOME is the best location. If yours is not the find a quiet place like a hotel lobby, I dislike cafes and restaurants as there are always too many distractions ant their work place is absolutely off limits because of distractions. If they are people that you know and they are regular visitors to your home then this is an option but their home is the best option. I also always ask if they have a working DVD player.

Your Dress Code
Will depend on then person you are presenting to remember you know them in most cases. Dress sharp and blunt it down as required. Have a clean and hygienic look about you.

Be On Time
Be there before time they may have friend coming the first impression perception is extremely important so BE ON TIME. It can be very important with family and friends as it shows that you are serious about your business. They may know you as a person that is always late BE ON TIME they will notice the change and become more curious about what you are doing.

Establish A Rapport
Re establish a rapport with the Clients establish their situation the why they want to know what you are doing. Make good comments on their house or an item in their house a family photo. Over time you will be able to read from a person’s house what is important to them. And take a similar position but be truthful a lie is spotted a mile away. People like to deal with people that are similar and have similar values to them. You can only master this with experience and time the more you do it the easier it will become.

Very briefly and I mean BRIEFLY let them know YOUR REASON WHY you are doing this Business let then relate to you!

Keep It Simple
If refreshments are offered ask if the others are having something. Alcohol is a definite no go! You are there on Business it is a Business Call.

You want them sober because your Opportunity could be the once in a life time chance for them to change their lives. Respect your Business and your opportunity and others will follow your example.
Suggest if they want alcoholic refreshment the have them after your presentation. Because you may be only asking for 8 minutes of their time! Play this very carefully for some people it may be another type of meeting the may need starting with A!

Almost all companies involved in selling will have a professionally prepared presentation suited to their company’s products and services. These have been tried and tested to work over time by hundreds and in some cases thousands of other successful IBO’s so use them. In my business we have an 8 minute DVD. I cannot stress enough to new IBO’s to make use of these presentation tools.

At the Presentation I simply ask the person I am presenting too “can you please put DVD in your DVD player” and I hand the DVD to them they put it in and we watch the presentation together, this takes 8 minutes.

If I am presenting long distance, I send a link to the DVD and establish a time that they will view the DVD. I follow up with a phone call to the person.

It is after the presentation that most Network marketers experience Failure Point 4 (they keep piling on reasons why the buyer should take up their opportunity. The face full of pizza approach).The Selling part of your presentation Finishes at the end of the DVD in my case. Now is the time for moving on Questions fro you Questions like.

Question 1: What did you like best about what you saw in the Opportunity?

Question 2: Do you see any reason Name that this opportunity couldn’t work for you and your family at some level?

Question 3: What would you say is your biggest motivating reason for stating your new business?

Question 4: Wouldn’t it be great you and I working together as a team and we accomplish your goal?

Question 5: And how do you think your Partner would feel about that?

Question 6: What we need to do next is get you REGISTERED with the company. Name so that we can launch your own Business?

Question 7: I need to ask you an important question? (pause for answer) For only 90 days that you don’t work for me I am not your boss I need your permission to be your personal Coach, DO I HAVE IT?

Question 8: In this is for 90 days. The very next thing we do is the most important thing we need to do right now name is get you personally qualified, you got have a story for all the people we bring into your group that you got qualified .This is what they will do. so this is the perfect opportunity for you to get some product training and qualify right out of the Gate.

Question 9: So here is the plan for the next 90 days. I will Explain the Value to you and why the importance of EVENTS, The TRAINING and the home meetings.

Question 10: When an we get together so I can Coach you on the nuts and bolts of the Compensation Plan. And the correct way of inviting people to see this Opportunity?

I believe at this stage in their presentation Failure Point 4 arrives. This is the number one reason why people do not get people to join or purchase their products and services in Network Marketing they do not have the right questions and therefore they get asked questions that they cannot possibly answer because they are “NEW”.
Because people do not want to look foolish in front of their friends and family. Because these same people know them for what they do or they know them as who they are and they know that you are not an expert in network marketing. And as a result a potential business partner may not join your business or even become your customer. This is called resistance to purchase.

We have found a way to overcome this resistance, it is simple and I teach it to the business partners I work with. The mastery of this in of your presentation is critical to your success.
Knowing WHY this approach works is the key to success in your business.
Why do we do the presentation this way? Simple because it works not every time and the timing may not be right for some people but it works a great percentage of the time!
This One of our competitive advantages!

But hey the knowing the why this approach works and the ability to overcome resistance to purchase and getting people to move on are part of the strategies of our great team. They are our team’s competitive advantage. If you would like to know more about us, simply enter you details below I would be happy to help.

Step 3: Master the way to raising interest and curiosity

2011-11-29T23:24:00.000-08:00

“IT’S YOUR CHOICE”
“IT‘S YOUR BUSINESS”
“NO CUSTOMERS - NO BUSINESS”
“NO INTEREST –NO PRESENTATION”
Remember network marketing is Relationship type Word of mouth referral based marketing.

This is where the rubber meets the road so to speak you now need to start developing and building relationships people not just prequalifies people the stronger the relationship the greater the trust factor. Just communicate with them!

An inability of IBO’s to master Curiosity and temper excitement leads to Failure Point 3 (Raising curiosity in what you do and not what you sell)A new network marketer needs to develop, learn and Master the power of CURIOSITY Simply Curiosity is King and excitement is Queen.

People by nature can easily become curious about anything. Try this go to any busy people place and simply look up and continue to look up and stay quiet you will be amazed at how many people will follow your lead and look up with you, why CURIOSITY.
Questions and answers but more specific the right questions and the right curiosity generating answers are the only way to create overwhelming curiosity in a person.

You are looking for a Switch!
Raising interest is just that, IT IS NOT A PRESENTATION do not put them to together.
You can make an appointment or arrange a time to catch up later but not now.
Why do I recommend this?
Because it works!
Time is required for people to be curious, it is like boiling a jug of water you need a small action switch it on and time to elevate curiosity to boiling point. Find the value to them as to being in the business and when you do and you have your Switch!

Why not tell them everything up front.
Because In my Business the Business Opportunity is a life changing opportunity for people. I would be doing them a great disservice if I blurted out what I have then I would be selling them on my perceived thoughts and desires and preconceptions and all of these are mine not theirs.

It is extremely important to them that the people I meet get the opportunity to SEE what I Know with an open mind and no preconceptions they must own it and make their own INFORMED decisions. I want to help my friends and family and people not be of disservice.

What they do after a Presentation is up to them it is their choice!

For example I get asked “Brian what do you do for a living” by people every day .people I meet often for the first time (natural curiosity). Most people would answer with I AM a (what ever their profession is) example” I am an accountant”. Would that answer make you curious and ask more question, likely not. Inquiry question will not come from people that have preconceived ideas of an accountant (I am not having a go at accountants I am just using this as an example). I answer “I help people Get Paid on Bills” and in my case I have a business that indeed will do just that.

I have found over time this approach works very well simply to create curiosity because it creates a follow up inquiry question from them for more information. They might ask how do you do that I say “it is very easy to get paid on Bills, but here is not the place to explain it, you are both busy now but perhaps we could get together in the next few days, would you like that?” If they want more info and they normally do, I suggest a get together in their HOME always in their home if I can and we make an appointment. The end!

It is not an exact science you need to be natural honest and sound unscripted people can tell a scripted response a mile away.

This very important stage should bee kept brief. Your goal if you like is an appointment for a presentation not a sale.

Step 2: Master the way to prequalifying your clients

2011-11-29T23:13:00.000-08:00

“IT’S YOUR CHOICE”
“IT ‘S YOUR BUSINESS”
“NO CUSTOMERS - NO BUSINESS”
This step is extremely important as it involves two processes one physical and the other Psychological.

You start looking for Clients but not approaching them. Your clients need to be prequalifying and is this process that works for everyone.

Not prequalifying your clients is Failure Point 2 (because approaching people that are not prequalified can be sole destroying for you a waste of precious time and will remove excellent people from your list prematurely)

It starts with physically writing down a list of every person you know (your potential clients) and placing their names onto 2 categories on your list.

Psychologically the more names you have on the lists the more solidly you will create your business.

You will have a feeling of abundance and not spiral down the path fear of loss. In our lives it is said that we come in contact with around 2000 people. Why not start making a list of that size if you have difficulty use memory joggers like.

Who do you know?
Who are our relatives?
Who is our…….
Who sold us our…….
Do you know someone who……

Please Do Not approach anybody until you have these lists started!

One category is a list of people that you know to have the skills required and call that list skilled and the other category is unskilled.
Very important because: the list heading names are Skilled and unskilled not will and wont!
Under no circumstances pre judged anybody these lists are about Ability and skill set.
People that you know and that have a skill set required in doing your business right now. And the people that don’t have the skill set.

You may have been told that anybody can do this Network marketing “Thing” by sponsors and even the Network Marketing Companies themselves may promote this message. The simple fact is that this is both correct and incorrect. Because of current skill set levels.

Remember you are a Business owner there is a skill set required.
You are promoting, advising, Selling Products and Services, there is a skills set required.
You are social networking there is a skill set required.
You are communicating in writhing and verbal there is a skill set required.

The Fact is some people that you know now may have these skill sets that are required and others will not.

You are sorting people into Skilled and Unskilled.

Skilled ListIn your skilled List there will be people with skill sets ranging from higher to lower. You are looking to give all the people a score from 10 down to 1, the 10’s being the people with the higher skills maybe they are in a networking environment already and are successful at it or they have most of the skill sets above. To those that have some of them range them to 1.
Out of the 8,9, and 10’s there should be people you want as your front line business partners and can work with them .These will be the most important people that you will approach to come on with you in your business these people have the skills to hit the deck running and you get on with them.
All will need coaching and training but some more than others.
Unskilled List
These are people you know that do not have the skills at present but in the future may decide to get them and people that just may not have any desire to do so.
Important fact: Everyone you meet has the opportunity to learn the skills required doing and working at a Network Marketing Business, the simple fact is they may not have the desire. You can teach skills but I am afraid you cannot teach desire.
What you have just done is pre qualified your warm market lists!

Finding the right prequalified buyer of your products and services is the most important skill you can master and I mean MASTER. With out the mastery of this skill you may be doomed to failure or at least mediocre success. There are many ways to prequalify a client. Please take note I refer to people as a “buyer” not a prospect. I dislike the word “prospect” as it removes the human aspect from the equation and denote a future expectation.

The prequalifying process in network marketing starts and ends with lead generation and list building. Create categories of skill and ability not they will or they won’t. As mentioned earlier these can be your list of people that you know your warm list or you can create a warm list
.
Who do you approach?You need to approach both lists and offer your business opportunity first and then as a customer opportunity “Big target picture - Little target picture”
But you need to approach your skilled list first. You may be at first afraid to approach the 8’s,9’s,and 10’s on your list and we call it the “Chicken List Syndrome”, but the fact is this is where your golden eggs will come from at the start of your business. And this will create momentum in your business.
Here it is extremely important to make Use of the most skilled and admired person in your Up line to and enlist their help to help you with these people, it is also in their interest to help you so never ever be afraid to approach you senior Up line directly. They will appreciate that you have contacted them and will help you round up the “Chickens”.

The most successful prequalified people on your lists will be those that have the one attribute necessary for them to be successful in your business as either a contented customer, telling others positive things about you or as a positive motivated like minded business partner in the business along side you.
They must have a need for your product your service or your business opportunity (a product) otherwise you are trying to hard sell them something they do not want or need.

Lead generation is what will make you business expand to unimagined size. Lead generation is a large subject and I will cover it in a separate blog.

How you approach people is very important and that information can be found in the blog Creating Interest.

Step 1 Getting Registered for Success

2011-11-29T22:54:00.000-08:00

Once you have decided on the Network Marketing Corporation a business in Relationship type Word of mouth referral based marketing. It is very important to get registered and qualified as fast as you can if there are qualification requirements, Make certain that you can meet these at your registration be prepared.
WHY? Because you want to get Paid don’t you? Do this at registration or with in 24 hours!

Not getting qualified is Failure Point 1 (Fact: if do not get qualified you have just donated you registration fee to the Corporation!)

If your sponsor is on the ball they should provide you with a check list of the information you need to have with you and the Qualifying requirements for a successful registration.

Caution: If your sponsor cannot or will not provide this information either you have not done your due diligence fully or your sponsor may not have your best interests at hart.

Read the terms and conditions of your selected Corporation.
Make certain they have a full 10 working days cooling of period
Read the policies and procedures.
Fill in all the information in your registration form honestly and correctly
Do what is required to meet the qualification requirements.
Remember you are purchasing a Business
Have an accounting system in place to record income and expenses.

At this point welcome aboard you are now in the “Network Marketing Industry” a 21st century industry and be proud of that fact. It is a great industry and has changes millions of people’s lives.

You have now opened the door to possibilities of immeasurable value to you financial, spiritual and developmental. What you do with your life is now up to you!

In most cases your business will be PART TIME when you start. I have used the word Part time and Not SPARE TIME because most people are very busy these days and if you hold to the spare time belief then you may never have time to devote to the success of YOUR Business. This leads to Failure Point 2 in getting started.

Your Network Marketing Corporation may offer what are called Quick Start Bonuses. They are just that, bonuses to get you off to a quick start and get a return on your business investment. Go for them! There can be a lot of money on the table.

Be Coach able and take the advice from your sponsor, a great sponsor will be with you as a coach in these early days to get you started on the road to your success and to help you get these bonuses. A great sponsor will help you through the ups and downs of starting YOUR OWN Business.

Friendly advice: Unforeseen events can and do happen in peoples lives. If something should have happened to your immediate sponsor and they are no longer able to help you, just get immediately in contact with others that you have met when you did your due diligence and arrange to work with them. Do not delay. There will always be someone senior to your sponsor that you can work with and be advised by. Do It!

I cannot tell you how many times and sadly all too often it is at this point so many new IBO’s in Network Marketing actually master Failure point 3 with the statement “I will wait until I have tried the products and services or received my first bill before I recommend them to my friends”. This is a killer for a new business you lose the excitement, the momentum, and give yourself absolutely no opportunity to create belief in yourself and YOUR OWN Business. The problem with this belief is your bill may come in 40 days and the bonuses may only be available for 30 days! You could be sacrificing thousands of dollars with this belief statement and self sabotaging YOUR OWN Business! Hey but the choice is yours.

At this point it would be wise to ask yourself some questions and be honest with yourself!

Did I not do my due diligence on the Corporation?

Has the important reason WHY I purchased a Business changed so soon or not important to me now?

You may just have what is called in the real-estate business buyer’s remorse, simply a perceived FEAR (False Expectations that Appear Real) of the unknown.

We have all been there, BE COACH ABLE

The best way to combat your fear is to “Go for it” the bonuses are real the fear is not!

Remember you are no longer an “Employee” you are in a brand new bright positive world of owning your own Business in a 21st century industry.

Most people need to realise what they have an opportunity to change there lives, have fun enjoy and Get on with Step 2 Prequalifying your clients!

Choosing the Right Networking Marketing Company for you

2011-11-29T22:12:00.000-08:00

I have been involved in traditional and non traditional marketing for over 35 years.Over this time I have been exposed to many opportunities. The decision to let an opportunity pass by or not is simply a DECISION a point in time.

I have found that great opportunities are simply alignment with an event that is in line with personal values and desires, TIMING and asking the right QUESTIONS and getting the correct answers.

Timing is very much subject to the events that are happening to you in the moment of the NOW in your life.

Everyone has different Personal Values and Desire these tend to motivates us to make a change. Timing, Desire and values belong completely to the personal realm of each of us.

That leaves Questions.

Asking the right questions is very important to make what we consider the correct decision for us, at the time and in line with our values and desires.

So before we passed on this Business Opportunity we decided to take a good to look at it with the same criteria we looked at ALL Business Opportunities.

Is the Company a Company of integrity?

Do the owners have a long term vision for the company?

Is the company a member of the direct selling association DSA in your country?

Are the products everybody want and needs and knows?

Are the products are they Products of integrity?

Would our and could our existing and new clients benefit?

Did we need to buy products to resell at start up (Carry Stock/inventory)?

Is there a money back Guarantee at start-up?

What is the compensation plan and is there residual income (work once get paid for life of customer) compensation?

Is there transparency and honesty in the compensation plan?

Could the business grow by word of mouth its self? (Has networking capabilities)

Is there a capability for on line presence?

Is there an innovative marketing strategy beneficial to clients and us?

Could it be full time or part time or both?

Could this become a plan B for our financial future?

Was Simple or easy to learn and do?

Could anybody do it?

Would we own the business so we could sell it in the future or were we buying a Job we could not sell?

Are there Tax advantages?

Can we operate this business from home?

Will this Opportunity allowed more family time together now and in the future?

Are there Success stories to view or other people to talk to? And why it worked for them?

Are there failure stories went in and decided it was not for them and why. Or did they hide them?

Could we grow as people helping others? (Contribute our knowledge to help other succeed)

Did the company provide training and coaching?

Would we enjoy being in that particular business and would it suit us?

Would the opportunity meet our needs and could our family have fun doing it?

There are very few Business opportunities out there that stack up so look closely and do your due diligence . It is your choice!

I remind you that these are my questions and you may have different questions that you can add depending on your Desires and Values.

What we found is that the more of these questions that are answered yes the better the Business Opportunity is. Then it is just a matter of Timing. And decision one way or the other.

Your Business Soul

2011-11-29T20:04:00.000-08:00

Customer or Client. Have you ever considered the definitions of these to words?

Customer: A person who purchases a commodity or services.
Client: A person who is under the protection of another.

The use of customer is common today if you have always used the word “customers” that OK but regard and think of them as “Clients”. Because when you start to serve and not sell clients an amazing thing happens to the way you look at them and the limits on your business growth will disappear.
What is meant by "Under your protection" it means just that you don’t sell them products and services just so you can make the largest one time profit possible. Understanding and appreciating what it is that your client is in need of, once you completely understand the final outcome they need then you lead them to the result they require the outcome to fulfil their need. You become a trusted advisor who protects them and they have reason to remain your client for a lifetime.

The strategy of Pre-eminence; Your Business Soul
Early in my sales and marketing career I was introduce to this The strategy of Pre-eminence by one of the masters in marketing industry Mr Jay Abraham author of many books on the subject of marketing. I have never met him, but I thank him for his insight and guidance. The strategy of Pre-eminence has created mountains of success in my business and life and continues to do so today.

The strategy of Pre-eminence is a powerful but simple strategy that when employed transforms your career and your Business. It will make people enthusiastic to do business with you rather than your competitors. It will turn your clients into friends for life and strengthen your passion and connection to everyone with whom you associate. Why is the strategy of Pre-eminence so powerful, because when you master and employ the strategy of Pre-eminence, you will always stand out in the minds and harts of your clients, your boss, your friends as the very best the preeminent choice in their life.

So what is the strategy of Pre-eminence simply the ability to put the needs of your client always ahead of your own! When you master this, successes will naturally follow.This may seem backwards to you now. That is because every competitor you have is operating the other way, they are selling their customers, their focus is on the ”me”. Your competitors are putting their own needs ahead of their “Customers” needs. They have a customer relationship.
Because you will be employing the strategy of Pre-eminence the focus changes from the “Me” to the “you” in your business. You will be a trusted advisor to your clients and friends; you will have a “client relationship” with the people whom you associate.

“IT”S YOUR CHOICE”
This is some times hard for people unfamiliar with Network Marketing to understand fully. Relationship type Word of mouth referral based marketing.

I am surprised how many people come to Network Marketing as independent Business Owners (they have purchased a business) and then maintain the representative mentality, the employee mind set.

It is understandable the fact is we are all trained like Pavloff’s Dogs from a very young age to become employees think like employees and act like employees. That is sad about this is that for many the training is so complete they cannot see it?
How did this happen? Simply a outdated beliefs from a time long gone “the industrial revolution”! Don’t believe me? Short History lesson, prior to the industrial revolution children if their parents could afford it were educated at home by a tutor home Schooling. Those parents unable to afford home tutoring or were uneducated, well basically their children were left uneducated to do menial work.
With the industrial revolution came expensive machinery housed in mills and the mill owners (the landed gentry) soon realised that they needed an educated work force to operate this expensive machinery. The educated landed gentry just would not do (conditions were very poor). Private Corporation schools were introduced then them mill owners (landed gentry) persuaded the governments of the day (more landed gentry) that public government schools would be a great idea.
Children would be required to be at school at a certain time. The ringing of a bell or the Corporation whistle was used. They worked for a time and a bell would be rung for lunch break and also rung at the end of the days school work. If you have children at school or if you are an employee you will know that not much has changed in a hundred or so years has it? Well we commute our children to school like we commute to work.
Fortunately for us all the world has changed. Today we now have Telecommunications, Computers, the World Wide Web (Internet), Video telecommunications, mobile telecommunications, Television, Social Networks. Network Marketing and we even have “Home Schooling”

The tools that allow us to create and have Home Based Businesses.

If you are considering getting into the Network Marketing industry it is about now you might want to consider and take on board this paradigm shift in your thinking.

This is YOUR business you are not an employee you are the owner, the boss of a sales and marketing, the independent advertising department for your chosen umbrella corporation a business within a Business!

The Network Marketing industry is the perfect business if you embrace it

It is Home Based
There are no or little overheads
No employees
No inventory /stock for resale
No inventory/stock control
No inventory storage costs
There is no commuting
Start up cost is low or none
Return on investment is amazing
Compensation is base on residual income and bonuses
The opportunity to duplicate your business exists and you can build a very large business.
You have Choice and the opportunity for a limitless income over time.
Inventory /Stock V’s No inventory /Stock models ,It’s your choice!

There are many different Network Marketing companies in the world. The majority fall into two categories,

Those that require the purchase of inventory stock to resell and may require the distribution and billing by the IBO. And those that have no inventory no stock and rely on the Network Marketing to ship bill and control the distribution system for the IBO’s. Both use a business within a business concept that is fundamental to Network Marketing. And both are valid and suit different personality types.

Inventory/stock model

If you have chosen a Network Marketing Corporation that requires you to purchase stock to re sell then have in place.

A stock control system.
A cost effective delivery system.
A storage facility.

Caution: If this is a requirement then you are a wholesale purchaser and reseller. Effectively you are being required to carry some RISK in the form of stock that may or may not sell and you may also have a distribution system that is cost effective to get these goods to your clients.

And more than likely than not you may be only able to market in a local area because of the delivery system you may have to create.

I am personally not a believer in having to purchase stock for resale in a Network Marketing Business.

Because all you are effectively doing is creating a Traditional Business under the guise of Network Marketing, a shop in your home. You may be limiting your market to the local environment, local economy and your local network, in a very short time you may have business partners competing for your market. The more successful you are the quicker this may happen. Is this not what happens today in businesses in you local look around you. But that is my belief you decide it is your choice!

No inventory/Stock model

If you have chosen a no inventory Network Marketing that handles all the products and services, delivery and inventory. You will have more time to spend on getting prequalified clients. You will as a pure network marketer (selling person) have access to products and services to sell and promote, your “Business Opportunity” is one of those products all made available to you by your Network Marketing Corporation (I call it your umbrella corporation) that you have decided to partner and grow you enterprise within.

Your market may be limited to the local that your Network Marketing Corporation services not your personal local

How different is PURE Network Marketing from the stock and inventory model.

What ever you chose the 6 steps of a sale and growth to occur are the same.
