From Merriam Webster:

***   ***
.
No wonder why people do not like to be solicited!!!
.
No wonder why they don’t like for you to bug them in the mall.
.
No wonder why they do not want you to call them during dinner.
.
Humans are genetically disposed to RESIST solicitation and in another lesson I will explain exactly why…
.
It really doesn’t matter right now…
.
What matters is that you understand that peeps just don’t like it!
.
So why the heck does a whole industry train their sales forces to conduct business this way?
.
For the life of me I just don’t get it.
.
Never did.
.
Call me KOOKY but I always thought…
.
Why in the world would I do something to other people that I HATE having done to me?
.
Am I the only sucker who bought into the GOLDEN RULE?
.
So just for a little bit…
.
Why not try this???
.
Trigger their NOSY GENE!
.
(What did she say?)
.
Yes…she said NOSY GENE!
.
What the heck is a nosy gene?

Aww…come on…you know…

It’s what makes people  peak into their friend’s medicine cabinet to see if they’re taking prescription medication.

It’s what makes us all look through our neighbor’s window to see what they’re watching on TV.

You can deny you do this…

But everyone does.

And if you can get people nosy about you, before you know it, they will be on your website…clicking, reading and potentially signing up without your ever asking them to “take a look” at your opportunity.

Instead of soliciting

(which I just find obnoxious)

I spend my days triggering people’s nosy genes and letting the cash register ring.

Try it!

It’s a lot more fun than soliciting, and if you do it right, a lot more profitable.

I have too much going on to put the energy into creating another one of these at this point.

So watch this video for updates on that and a bunch of other really important stuff for your business.

To check out the Hoverson product go to Info Marketing Blueprint

This is my top pick so far this year…high level information and low level price!

For the Social Profit Formula I just found out it’s only open till noon on Wednesday so if that interested you …you need to peek at that quick…

And as for the dean Graziosi stuff I decided I want to look closer into it before I send out anything.

I very much admire his work and want to see what he is up to so I can determine if I think it will help you.

Crazy busy week here …but super exciting.

If you already purchased the Hoverson product you will hear from me shortly on your bonuses.

If you didn’t get it you you want to move on that cause I want to help you win Mark’s contest!

And if you wanted to get into this weekend’s event and you need arrangements…

Contact me at Diane@DianeHochman.com and we can see what we can do.

I’ll tell you one thing…

It’s gonna be a KILLER event.

Pros will come out of this one!

*YES..these are affiliate links!!! I will earn a commission if you should patronize any of these businesses.



Seriously…Are You Building A List Yet?



I get so gosh darn frustrated trying to teach this concept to folks …

It’s so simple and yet for some reason the average person who came into the home or small business industry from an employee background just has a hard time “getting” this…

People don’t purchase based on YOUR schedule…

They buy based on THEIR schedule…

Which is why is is CRITICAL to build a list of people who are interested in a topic that is closely related to what you sell.

Stop being in a RUSH and trying to SLAM people into the sale or sign up and start ROMANCING them by sending out info that will HELP your prospect and at the same time POSITION you as their “GO TO PERSON” when the time comes for them to BUY.

This way you set your self up for a tumbling cascade of cash on a daily basis.

Your business is NOT about YOU!

It’s about your guy and HIS needs.

Stop trying to make a buck and start serving and you will be STUNNED at how they throw money at you.

Yes it takes a little bit of time to establish yourself and build the list…

But once you do it…

All you need to do is send out an email and BOOM…orders roll in.

And if you think this is new fancy dancy internet stuff…you are WRONG!

Ever see any of these?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Building a list is as old as the hills!

They sent you a catalog and you ORDERED!!!

I send emails…and people ORDER!

Kaboom!

So if you haven’t started yet…

Make building a list your HIGHEST PRIORITY.

A year from now you will be glad you did.

Trust me.





George Fourie and I have been dancing around for ages trying to find a time to do a video interview :)

He is in Australia and I am up here in Connecticut so between time zones, technology and crazy schedules we never did get a chance to do this puppy.

But FINALLY this past week we had a chance to visit and do an interview for George’s site TheMLMBeat.com

We discussed some great topics including old school versus new school marketing, core skills, motivation and more!

Enjoy this and be sure to visit George’s site!





It’s ALWAYS a ruckus when Fogg and Hochman get on the line together and this time was NO exception.

This time we were discussing John’s newest project The Greatest Networkers in The World which

chronicles the story of 21 ordinary people who became Network Marketing millionaires.

 

Listen to the replay and if you’d like the audio set we mentioned be sure to get it right away as this is a limited time offer and the class and extra audios that we are throwing in as a gift will not be available once pre-orders of the actual book begin.

 

And if you want the MP3s of all 21 interviews and the transcripts just visit The Greatest Networkers

As far as I am concerned..the best value in traditional network marketing training today!
