6 Steps to Prospecting & Enrolling Success:

1. Positivity Check – Remember, we’re looking for people who are choosing to live life fully. In face-to-face settings, look for the smile back when we smile at them.  Listen for the warm acknowledgement when we greet them. On the internet, look for the positive quotes, a picture with energy and presence, fun and/or uplifting wal posts.
2. Uplift – Recognize their gifts and qualities that make them unique and powerful. It may the career path that we admire and respect. It may be the the way they uplift others around them.  saying or thought that they shared that inspired you. Acknowledge there God given talents and qualities in a genuine way.
   
3. Common ground – Find a common ground with this amazing, unique individual that fate and life have caused your paths to cross. The key here is asking leading questions about them and their journey and then “focused” & “attentive” listening!
   
4. Invitation – Remember, “Separate the Invitation from the Presentation”. This is where we connect with a “gap” or “pain” in their life and then invite them to look at a possible solution. Remember, the key here is to avoid going into a presentation…the goal is to invite, set the time and then use the duplicatable tools to clearly show the “Big” picture.
5. Present – Use your duplicatible online tool(s) to educate our prospect on what we can bring into his/her life. Example: online video, audio, conference call, binder, 3-way call. The key question to ask…if they enroll with me right now, can they turn around and effectively present in the same powerful way that I just did? If not, then we might want to re-think the way we are presenting our “Gift”.
6. Assumptive Close – I always assume that this person will be my next “top Banana” in our business, until they prove me right or wrong. And the upside is, I’m not attached to the outcome…I work in having an abundance mindset. I suggest using “visual” tools whenever possible to show them What Most People Do and then ask which option looks like it would best serve their needs.

HAPPY PROSPECTING & KNOW THAT PASSION & PERSISTANCE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!!

THE FOUR FUELS
HOW TO KEEP THE FIRE OF PASSION BURNING

* VISION

One of the “Seven Habits of Highly Success People” by Stephen Covey is, “Begin with the End in Mind”. My question to you is, do you know what the ideal journey looks like? And, yes the word is journey as opposed to destination. I believe it’s about who we become in the process of pursuing a worthy cause that is most important. How many of our God-given talents have we grown and developed along the way? How many individuals around us have we inspired to step into their greatness as well.

This is one area that Joy and I are constantly working on. Defining, Expanding and Clarifying our Vision of what we want our “Journey” to be! Let’s play it in living technicolor in our mind, then step up and live it!!

* Resource: “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Networkers”, http://tinyurl.com/yceeclw

* UNSHAKABLE FAITH

I’ll let the Good Book and a favorite mentor reflect on this subject. Suffice to say, you’ve got to have unshakable faith in your path to truly have long- lasting success! As the popular song says, “You’ve gotta have Faith”!

Hebrews: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Mathew: If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

“You’ve got to develop confidence in yourself. The word ‘confidence’ comes from two words which literally mean, ‘trust by heart’. So, you either trust by’ heart or you don’t. Nobody can do it for you. Excerpt from John Kalench’s book, “Being the Best You Can be in MLM”

* Resource: “Being the Best You Can be In MLM” http://www.miminc.com/btbycb.html

* EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE

“Leaders are Readers”! Most of us have heard something like that, well do we take it to heart? One area of my life that I am totally committed to is to remain the life-time student attitude. To always be open to new ideas, growth and stretching constantly.

There is a reason that the true Leaders plug into the Events, Personal Growth, Conference Calls and Learning Opportunities. They have learned and taken to heart the reality that our Level of Success is directly proportionate to the level of Maturity, Leadership Ability and Communication Skills that we develop. I am committed to a lifetime of learning and growth….join me on this journey and our dreams will become a reality!

* Resource: “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”, http://tinyurl.com/ydzjpn7

* ENVIRONMENT OF SUPPORT

David Wood, master trainer, friend and head of our companies Personal Development Program loves to quote, “Environment is stronger than willpower”. It seems to me that if you accept this statement at any level, you will realize that what we choose to surround and immerse ourselves in every day will greatly determine who we become.

The old saying “We can’t fly with the eagles if we are pecking around in the dirt with the Chickens” surely does apply here, eh!

Every great leader, mentor and inspirational person that I’ve read about or met, consciously surrounds themselves with “positivity” on a daily basis. They surround themselves with people that hold a common vision and values. They read, watch and listen to media that uplifts them. Let’s create an environment that feeds us not depletes us! Remember, we choose our environment….so let’s all chose wisely!

Simple/Effective “5 STEP PHONE OUTLINE”

Remember, Ignorance on Fire is 10 times more effective than Knowledge on Ice! When I began my Networking Marketing journey a number of years ago, I actually wrote these 5 words on the back of my business card and taped it to my phone! It really helped give me a little prompt and outline for my calls. Especially when the phone looked like a 500 lb Gorilla!! 

• TIME: Hello _______, do you have a minute? – or – Is this a good time?
• SHARE ENTHUSIASM: I was so excited to call you about an ideal that I would love to get your opinion on! -or – I couldn’t wait to call and connect with you about what we have recently experienced! etc.
• COMPLIMENT: I’ve always admired your business skills and way with people! – or – You always look sharp and are the ultimate professional! etc.
• DISCLAIMER: This very well may not be for you. – or – Maybe you can help me, I am looking for people who___________?
• OBJECTIVE: Would you take a few minutes and look over our information? – or – Do you keep your options for looking at other streams of income and/or “PRODUCT BENEFIT”?

“Ordinary People doing Extraordinary Things”!

Just had to pass this along to my peeps here. Fully embracing life is
about being and doing the extraordinary, my friends.

“When you are inspired by s ome great purpose, some extraordinary
project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends
limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you
find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces,
faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a
greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” by Patanjali

PS: Thanks to my friend & Associate Carter Schuld for passing this along!

Bty, what is your extraordinary purpose, my friends?

BUSINESS-BUILDING TIPS FROM A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PRODUCER?

Today I’m sharing a few key tips from a wonderful, heart-centered multi-million dollar producer, industry icon, mentor and friend, Jimmy Smith. What an example of how to live life and build our business. Enjoy these nuggets, we love ya Jimmy!

• Know we’re in the right place at the right time with Network Marketing. Timing is everything. Recognize we’re there and get into massive action. The more people we talk to, the more successful we’ll be.
• Three ways to kill our business are pride, greed and impatience. Make sure to ask for help when we need it.
• Network Marketing is all about leveraging ourselves through people. For a small investment we can be on our way to building a successful business. We can’t do that in other industries.
• The greatest tool is the 3-way call. Use it to stay in touch with team members and prospects. I learned long ago that I can cover more ground with my cell phone than by plane or by car.
• To turn “pro” in Network Marketing, read as many books as you can about the industry. Listen to audio CDs, Conference Calls, watch DVDs, etc. Always be a lifetime student!
• The day we stop dreaming in this life, it’s over. We have to keep dreaming, Dream as far as we can and when we get there, dream further!
• I learned a key lesson early on called the “Law of Reciprocity“, what goes around comes around.

Let’s create an amazing life of Contribution and Service…and…abundance will seek us out!

Thou canst not then be false to any man.

ATTRACTING MORE OF THE “RIGHT” PEOPLE?

How would you like to attract more Leaders that share your values? How about individuals that are strong in the areas where you are weak? Experiencing leaders who are showing up and are looking for what we have to offer?

Well, one of the best ways to attract more individuals who have the values, personality and skills that we are looking for in potential Business Partners is to write them down and “FOCUS” on them. I am finding that when I become crystal clear on WHO I am looking for, an amazing thing happens…more and more quality “Prospects” show up!

Here are my top 5 qualities that I am looking for in my future Business Partners & Team Leaders:
* High Integrity
* Courageous
* Natural Leaders
* Tenacious Visionaries
* Big Hearted

Here are a few other examples, to get your creativity flowing: passionate, goal-getter, pro-active, self starter, professional, prompt, fun, visionary, big thinker, live in truth, entrepreneurial, spiritual, god-centered and/or determined.

Tip: This exercise works best when you write these qualities down and post them around your personal space! Put them where you see and read them on a regular basis. In other words, ingrain them into your sub-conscious and then you will attract more of the same!

HOT Book: “BEACH MONEY” by Jordan Adler

This is one of the most effective books that paints the big picture, portrays a real vision of the journey toward major success and reminds us all of the incomparable power of residual income. A must read and a powerful “Gift” to share with our Prospects and Team Leaders! It’s an invaluable book to give to the new recruit on your team.   Robert

Outside Reviews by MLM Success Media:
It’s obvious that Jordan Adler has taken the time and the money to educate himself in the business of networking, MLM, sales and marketing, not to mention personal development. He suggest (as do I) that you always continue your training and education. I’ve found this book to be a welcome addition to my top books I recommend. Be sure you read the chapter about a new perspective and the strategies for creating beach money.
