The hard push technique....turn on or turn off

A common marketing technique being taught by a number of different groups and marketing teams is the hard push tactic, where you give the prospect no real chance to refuse, create a massive sense of urgency and try and ensure they have no choice but to do as you wish. I encountered this the other day with a member of the Dream Team marketing group. Now I am not in anyway trying to trash this course as I understand for some it is a good learning curve, however I have it on authority of another member that they do teach this technique. For me it began with a couple of emails after I had enquired about the course. I was interested to see how they were teaching people to bring in 20 to 30 people a week into whatever business you were promoting. I asked that the person selling the course call me before 5pm to let me know more details. I didn't hear anything further until I walked in from being out in the wind and rain at 7.30pm, soaked to the skin and the phone rang. My dinner was in the oven and would be another 20 minutes and the cats and dog needed feeding. The guy asked what I was promoting and of course said what a great company it was and how the course he was going to introduce me to could explode my business. He said there was a live conference call at 8.00pm that night. I explained that I was interested but that I couldn't really attend the call that night. The guy then got very pushy saying that if I was serious about my business I would miss by dinner and attend. I said I was not prepared to do that but would attend another call if there was one in a day or so. I was told that there was no further calls for a week or so and my place had to be specially reserved. I was basically told that I would never succeed in online business if my dinner came first and he hung up. The next morning I emailed him to say I was no longer interested in pursuing the course as I had been totally put off by his attitude. I received a response saying he was sorry but that is the sales technique he had been taught on the course and it usually worked. Despite what he had said the day before there was another call that night. I attended this apparent 'live' call to find it was a pre-recorded scripted call giving very little information and all hype and no real content. All I really discovered is that if I paid around $1000 for the course I could attend 4 live calls which would be at around 1am GMT, be taught how to get my own website which I already have and no real details of what the training entailed. I emailed the guy mentioned above to say I was not really interested as 'live' call had been a waste of time and totally uninspiring and that I did not think I would get anything out of it. His response - that I was a failure and would never succeed and I had wasted his time. Now I have since talked to a couple of others involved in the Dream Team and both have been very friendly and pleasant but both acknowledged that the course probably wasn't for me and that the hard push tactic was one of the techniques taught (as well as memorising sales scripts for the phone etc). This tactic and the guy's attitude totally put me off. This did not create a sense of urgency but left me feeling I was being bullied into something. I would think very carefully before using this hard push idea to gain sales...yes try and close the sale but not by bullying your prospect.

How can you build a successful home based business

Why is it so many people fail in building their home based businesses? What is the secret? There are a few things to consider with your business... 1) You must have a unique product that people are in dire need of, something that stands out among the hundreds of opportunities out there today. 2) You must be able to get the word out about your product/opportunity. It doesn't matter if you have the best product/money making opportunity on earth, if nobody hears about it you're not making money. 3) Simplicity!!! This is huge; your business has to be "turn-key" in every sense of the word so that anyone can come in, follow the system, and get results, period. 4) Training/Support. If you have the support and training that is necessary to get results, you will succeed. If there is coaching/training available to you 24-hrs/day all you will have to do is follow the instructions of those leading the way to get the same results. 5) Drive/desire. A lot of people see ads out there that really look like lottery tickets and that's what they expect. Business is business and any legitimate business that makes money is going to require some time and effort on the part of the individual. That hits all of the 5 key things it takes to build a successful home based business. Now, what if there was a business opportunity out there today that hit all 5 key ingredients: 1) A product that people see value in, a product people must own in order to have success in all areas of their life. 2) A training system to assist you in getting the word out about this product; tools that will blow your mind and build your business in very little time. 3) A duplicable system where anyone with any background could come in and "turn the key" and have success. 4) A support team of ultra-successful entrepreneurs who are getting the results you're looking to achieve. Training calls throughout the week done by the top-income earners in the industry. All you would have to do is follow their lead and their instructions to get the same results. 5) Well, the drive/desire is the only x-factor. That's you! If you have the serious drive and desire to start living a life without limits and you are dead set on achieving that goal, you will succeed because failure is not even an option. If there was a business that hit all of these critical aspects for success, would it be something that you would be interested in learning more about? If your answer was yes, you deserve to hear this. millionairemindsets Brian Fanale 703.286.7655

7 Points in finding a home business

There is so much information online it’s amazing. You find something that interests you and you request information and then……you are never there. • Is it that you are bombarded with calls and emails? • Is it that you clicked on something but don’t remember? • Is it that you were in a different state of mind at the time and it’s changed since? • Is it that there is too much to choose from? Are you looking to make money but you think everything is a scam or it’s too good to be true? You have been burned before and it’s a very hard thing to get over. I know. I’ve been there. Or maybe you want to stuff envelopes or make crafts…… I’ve learned the hard and expensive way. I have yet to find a legitimate envelope stuffing company. If you find a craft to do they are very particular on what they receive. They are so picky that you never get paid and you are stuck with all these crafts. Data entry is another opportunity I have yet to find a real company. The only paying company was through a company my Aunt worked for that I actually got paid for data entry. Otherwise, I never got paid but lost money. You feel violated when you are scammed. When people ask for more information, why do they ONLY want a quick overview of something? In order to make an informed decision you need all the facts. You need to do some research: • Check the company out with the better business bureau. • Remember products are involved otherwise it’s not legit. Read about those products and see why they are different and if everyone can use them. • Go to their website • Get a brochure or PDF file with more information about them on it. • Is it a team environment? Will they help you achieve your goals or just sign you up? • Do they refund your money and how much time do you have? • Do they have start-up costs? How much? • Email, call and ask questions When you do your homework by researching and ask questions you have the information to make an informed decision. I’ve learned that when you just want a 5 minute overview you miss a lot of details. Not everything can be summed up in 5 minutes. I thank you for taking the time to read this over. I hope you have learned something and I hope you use this information to find what you are looking for, freedom.

Full automation

For many years I new that today’s technology was able to fully automate our marketing systems, but it seemed that nobody was using it to its full extent. Recently I came across a system that was so beautifully automated, I just knew immediately that this was going to work, and it did. Why is it then that so many people miss it, I asked myself. It is right here under our noses. But hey wait, “What is Full Automation” Full Automation to me is when your marketing system is so fully automated that it will sell, advertise, promote, appoint downlines, train them, and motivate them all at once. Does your site do that? If not then you do not use technology to the full extent. Here are the 10 factors you need to fully automate your system: 1. You need to collect you opt-in lists 2. Promote by giving your surfers a well developed tour 3. Let them automatically sign up 4. Set Auto responders to follow up if they don’t sign up 5. Set Auto responders to train them when they do sign up 6. Use voice recording to motivate through conferencing 7. Use Conference software to have group discussions 8. Use your website to act as an training facility 9. Have a well developed duplication system 10. Setup an automated traffic generating system With all the free script flowing over the net, it is easy to set up a system like this, and if you can’t create it, make sure you join a fully automated system. There is nothing more rewarding for me, than to leave my office for a day or two, just to come back and find a bunch of new marketers signed up, and busy with their training. The vast array of web opportunities makes full automation difficult; because each web page you open distract you to implement a new angle into your business. Full Automation requires attention and attention to detail. You need to think like the next customer and not like a high tech junky. Concentrate and stick to one income stream until you make it work. Test each idea that you get on the internet against your fully automated system. If it does not fit in, leave it and move on. You can’t use all the gadgets on the net. Very soon your website will be cluttered and full of other people’s promotions. What makes the internet a bad place is the impersonal way of trading. I like to spend time with students, chatting about what work and what don’t. My fully automated systems give me the opportunity to do just that. It makes my internet marketing an opportunity to spend some time with fellow marketers and to build relationships. In the end they are more important than the money we make. What is the use of time saving methods, if we just use the time to run around. Use your fully automated system to take that walk in the park, to sit under a tree and to play with your kids.

Mail forwarding solutions for home businesses

When many businesses start out they are often based at home. This is understandable for several reasons. Many business ideas stem from hobbies or interests and develop into commercial opportunities. Most new businesses start from home to keep costs down during the businesses infancy. Some businesses continue to operate from home as ecommerce, drop shipping and online shops has removed the need for an actual presence on the high street. Most home based businesses choose to operate as a limited company or sole trader. Either way the owners of the business have to consider whether or not they want to declare their home address as their main business address. Whilst some people may not have any problems with this there are a few points that should be considered. If you choose to use your home address for your business, this will be declared to the tax authorities, company registry, and other government organisations. All of your letter heads, adverts and other correspondence will need to show your home address. If your business is web based then most clients expect to see an address provided in the contact details. Your address is then freely available for everyone to access. You may decide that you do not want to declare your address to the entire world. This provides you with a couple of options. Firstly you could use a post office box commonly referred to as a PO Box. These are easy to set up with a local post office or similar service provider. They are relatively inexpensive and provide a cheap alternative to using your own address. Mail can either be collected or forwarded for an additional fee. However, they are not always the right solution. Organisations like banks, international couriers and many suppliers of goods will not accept a PO Box as a business address. It may be difficult to order supplies and deliveries if you only provide a PO Box as your contact. In addition to this, what will your clients and customers think? You may find that a PO Box deters people from using your services. Consider what a prospective customer may be thinking if your contact details online only show a PO Box and not a standard address. It may not fill them with confidence. The second alternative is to use a mail forwarding company. Instead of using a PO Box you may prefer to use a company that specialises in forwarding mail for businesses. This removes the PO Box section from your address. Some service providers may use suite numbers instead to identify your mail. Many of the professional mail forwarding companies however, simply let you use their address. The mail is then sorted by dedicated staff and forwarded on to you the day it is received. Whilst this may not be as cheap as the first option it avoids any stigma attached to using PO Boxes and means that even international couriers will deliver to your address. This type of mail forwarding service allows you to display your business address on your website, promotional material and business correspondence. Your customers need never know that your mail is processed through an alternative address. Your personal address is not disclosed to your clients providing you with piece of mind. Junk mail is avoided and you will never get a dissatisfied customer turn up at your family home. A further point to consider is the urgency of your mail. If your business mail is not urgent then collecting from a PO Box can be done at your leisure. Mail forwarding service providers will delay your mail by one day. Therefore if you regularly need business correspondence the next day then neither service may be suitable to your business. When operating your business from home consider the implications of using your own address, a post office box or a mail forwarding service provider. There are advantages and disadvantages to all solutions. It is important to remember that whatever decision you make you should minimise the impact on your customers.
