Mega-Successful Marketers Share Their Minds
28 December 2009 | No Comments » | adminThe Biggest Lie and Reality of Direct Marketing
27 December 2009 | No Comments » | adminI have often heard that you can sell without selling. It is common verbal fodder for direct marketers in MLM and other direct selling professions to tell recruits that the product sells itself. It’s a no-brainer to purchase this franchise, this affiliate-ship, this territory, this inventory or whatever. You can’t miss!
As most of us who were thrown out into the urban jungle to hawk encyclopedias or pots and pans, the reality is that with few exceptions we come back home each day battered and badly underpaid. With few exceptions, our sponsors throw us to the sharks and watch with disdain as you fall flat.
Eventually, our highfalutin notions that a “can’t miss” product or service will be the vehicle to a cliff-view home in Monterrey are replaced by out-and-out cynicism. We eventually – sometimes in a blink – give up on our dreamy notion of the good life and settle in for the 40-year grind.
Let me give you and I a cold shower to sober up. Here’s what you must know if you want to be successful:
1) a willingness to be a serial failure before being a resounding success.
2) a willingness to give up some empty, mind-dulling escape activities.
3) a willingness to be ridiculed by peers, family and strangers alike.
4) a willingness to accept coaching and to listen with your defenses down.
5) and ultimately, you must develop a high level of self-esteem and a willingness to sell yourself before your idea, product or service.
So if you run into some smooth-talking direct marketer who tells you their thing is a “Can’t miss!” scheme that sells itself, run – no sprint – in the opposite direction.
Your financial and spiritual life are dependent on recognizing the frauds and deceivers whom cross paths with you. The key is to not allow your mistakes in choosing mentors and products turn you into a deer in headlights.
You must sell yourself in order to succeed in any worthy endeavor on this planet. The plus here is that it is do-able as long as you stay in the game.
A New, Paradigm-Changing Webcam Technology
24 December 2009 | No Comments » | adminA Major Technical Road Block to Your Online Success Evaporates
Maybe the best thing you can do right now is to put on a headset, turn on your webcam and head over to one of my other websites.
I’ll then unmasked a cutting-edge technology – I’m no techie, mind you – that is simple to install and will give anyone live, two-way webcam conferencing from anywhere you desire on your website or Facebook account, and then another web environment where you can have an eight-webcam-hosted webinar (or more, depending on your computer and bandwidth), or a class or business meeting with 500+ participants in listen-and-view mode.
This is a cutting-edge smorgasbord of applications – with innumerable bells and whistles including
*flip charts,
*an authentic “black” board,
*powerpoint functionality,
*video within conferencing environment,
*desktop sharing,
*recording features which will archive in YouTube-friendly file size and upload to that site on the fly
*an installment of the applications which is easy and takes about as long as brewing a cup of expresso.
Heh heh…let me catch my 59-year-old breath. And all this and a host more of useful add-ons – is worthy of a little of your toime to visit me online.
Oh yeah, the official launch of Website Communicator is on January 4th, but those grandfathered in before the official launch and the end of beta trials can market this stealthy program at generous commission levels while saving huge chunks’ of change on the entire package.
I’m not a real technical person, as I said above, but if this interests you – and it should!!! – then get proactive.
Website Communicator was developed with precision and user-friendliness by Newfoundlander, Rodney Brace, who is also a client of my business/life coach, the latter who only works with ethical, service-first, over-delivering marketers, netrepreneurs and an occasional wannabe. Rodney is a class act and will give you continual no-excuse support.
Anyway, George Burns once said: “The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.”
I have probably sinned, if we use the Burn’s equation as law. Forgive me for doing so because there is a sense of urgency. I want people who use Website Communicator to get a huge annual discount by deciding quickly. The grandfathering stage is winding down.
Those who invest in Website Communicator before the official launch will get kicked in at no cost a second 500+ participant conference environment
*to rent out by the hour or even day,
*to use for downline training or three-ways,
*to teach classes,
*to attract new visitors to a free conference room or
*to just to have more leverage for holding multiple webinars in, for example, different languages simultaneously.
Use your imagination. Website Communicator is a real product with real, easily-discernible benefits:
*A more humanized website. It’s like being there.
*Instant communication meaning a satisfied customer and a repeat customer.
*More perceived value by your customer or online prospect.
* Instant gratification equals instant satisfaction for you and your web site visitor.
*Shared workload. With Web Site Communicator™’s ability to create departments and assign additional operators you can easily transfer visitors to the appropriate department and operator.
*WSC is the perfect tag-team tool to make your sales and marketing efforts stealthy and seemless.
Take care and I hope to see you online.
