Right Message + Right Market =Money



Here are some clips from my most recent Instant Marketing Professional Live Event.

In it I train home and small business owners how to get their information in front o the right  market

thus causing SALES by default.

It’s easier than you think if you just know a few moves!



At The Feet Of Masters



Have you ever heard the expression…

Sitting at the feet of masters?

Well that is exactly what I did this weekend.

As many of you know…I was a featured speaker at The Real Savvy Success Event

in Orlando,Florida.

I was so thrilled to be asked and so pleased to share some of my unique marketing

systems with a whole new crowd.

And I knew I would be sharing the stage with some of the most powerful women

in Network Marketing and Direct Sales…

Several of them I have heard speak many times…

Each time gaining new information, perspective and motivation from their talks.

But this time was DIFFERENT for me.

As this time…as opposed to being an audience member…

I was standing next to them as a true colleague.

And this time I realized…

That no matter how good I have gotten at my profession…

These ladies are TRULY the MASTERS…

And that I have MUCH to learn.

Much sculpting to do to my own message in order to make it as powerful as possible.

Much work to do on myself.

And for a moment I stood still and thought to myself…

I am SO PROUD to be up here with these ladies…

And SO PROUD that even in a moment of TRIUMPH like that

I could still step back and be the student.

For in the end…does our learning ever end?

And don’t we owe it to ourselves to become the best we can be???

And most of all…

Don’t I owe it to my students to become as good as humanly possible

at creating messages to deliver from the platform that move them…

That transform them…

That give them HOPE and CLARITY.

That help them see exactly who they were meant to be?

I’d like to send a very special thank you to all the ladies

who spoke this weekend…particularly those who have walked before me

and showed me a WAY that I didn’t see before.

All my mentors have been men.

Now I have a new SISTERHOOD of women to look to for

guidance and that is TRULY something to be THANKFUL for.



Leaving On A Jet Plane



Remember the song…

Leaving on a jet plane…

Don’t know when I’ll be back again…

OK…I DO know when I’ll be back.

Monday afternoon to be precise.

4:07 pm.

Right now I am sitting in the Cleveland airport ready to get on a plane to

go to the VERY FIRST Real Savvy Women’s event EVER in Orlando.

And YES…as usual I overpacked…

And YES…I am excited beyond words to meet so many people

that I have admired for SO LONG.

And most of all I am HONORED that the organizers have invited me to address the crowd.

There are SO MANY events in the home business industry.

High tech, low tech, attraction marketing, belly to belly marketing…

But THIS event is extremely important because it is rotating around the heart and soul of this industry…

THE WOMEN.

The mothers…who not only rock the cradles of their families but rock the cradles of their opportunities.

This event has been a long time coming and I am THRILLED to be a part of what I expect will

become a rich tradition in the home business world.

So to all you ladies (and gentlemen) that I willbe seeing this weekend…

Let’s ROCK IT!





Ten years ago, at the beginning of my home business career I was a cold calling fool!

I did dials and dials a day.

It wasn’t my favorite way of creating business.

In fact, I really disliked it. My upline told me to do it and I did cause I was “duplicating”

It really stank to tell you the truth…rejection after rejection…

But I will never forget this particular call…

It taught me something I still use to this day.

One of the first things we do in any kind of call is establish a relationship with the person we’re talking with.

It needs to be genuine, even if it’s fleeting.

And if we’re contacting cold leads and trying to turn them into warm ones we have to cut to the chase pretty quickly.

BOOM–ya gotta get in QUICK.

So I called this one lead…

A chick from Florida.

Unlike some of the others who treated me as an annoying telemarketer, she was actually pretty cool.

I did what I was  trained to do…ask questions and find out what they want.

After a few minutes of finding out what she wanted and why she wanted it, I knew I could help her…

So I offered her an opportunity to take a look at some of the materials involved in our home business.

She got jacked up and begged me to send her some stuff.

So I planed a time to call her again and I put the stuff in the mail.

A few days went by and I called her EXACTLY when I said I would.

This time the tone was different.

She was all weird and told me she hadn’t had a chance to look at the materials.

She also said she didn’t think she would have a chance to fit a home business into her schedule.

Because I knew all about her from our first call  l I knew a home business would be a great fit for her.

And I knew she was just wigging out as so many people so when it comes time to do something REAL to change their situation.

SO

I asked her what seemed like a natural question:

“Did you change your mind about being successful?”

That stopped her in her tracks. She answered me…

“Wow! You’re a really good salesperson!”

That’s the interesting thing.

I really wasn’t trying to be a salesperson, although looking at it now it does seem like a pretty cool technique.

I was simply doing what came naturally.

I got to know a little bit about her and her dreams, then asked a question that seemed IMPORTANT to her.

She had told me she really wanted to be successful…so I reminded her of what she said

And it kinda flipped her out cause she realized that I had actually listened to her!

So did she change her mind and decide to work with me that day?

No.

She wasn’t ready

But I came away from that call much more confident about what I was doing and how to inspire people.

And years later I continue to do the same thing (even though my cold calling days are long gone).

I build relationships.

I ask people about what’s important to them.

I listen to their answers.

I offer them solutions…the ones that are right for them.

And I improve the quality of life for a lot of people and make a lot of money at the same time.

Do you think this is something you can learn how to do as well?

Try it! Ask the right questions.

Then playfully but assertively remind people of what they want and how you can help them get it.

And BTW..the upshot of the story is that I kept in touch with this gal cause she gave me permission to…

And lo and behold a couple of years later she made a HUGE purchase with me.

The magic was all in the RELATIONSHIP and the QUESTIONS.

It ALWAYS is :)
