Sarah Robbins 5 Steps to 5 Million Dollar Circle

February was a short month, but our T.E.A.M. made a major milestone! I wasn’t going to say anything, but then I realized that it’s a team achievement and they deserve to celebrate what they’ve accomplished! Here’s the story-=>

I found network marketing as a formerly shy, young teacher in my 20’s. I was facing the loss of my job, and started working my business part-time alongside of my job. By the end of the school year, I retired from teaching and began working my business full-time, for the next 5 years. By the age of 29, we were the first in our company to earn 6-figures MONTHLY, and this February we were the first to enter into our company’s “5 million dollar circle!” (GO TEAM!) Today we earn a multi-million dollar annual income. Where else could a formerly shy teacher compress 50 years into 5? That’s the power of our profession!

You know what I love about my story? If I can do it, so can you! This is possible for you! Pick a great network marketing company, stick with one, give it the time it takes to build, commit to consistent activity and daily efforts—and watch your life change for the better too! It won’t be easy , but it will be worth it. Network marketing takes ordinary people, and helps them achieve extraordinary things–but if you want to achieve my level of success you’ll have to put an extraordinary amount of effort into your business for a brief period of your life–at least 3-5 years. And if you’re not at the level of success you desire yet remember–

The grass ISN’T greener in another company…keep planting seeds to see it grow! =>

Just for the record, in network marketing…
1) Timing in a company doesn’t guarantee you a check. Your productivity does.
2)You have to work your business. Every day. Personal activity is the cure to what ails you in your network marketing business. You will be successful if you make 3 NEW invitations every day for people to hear more about your business, and you give it the time it takes to be successful. This is true in any credible company with an average product and plan.
3) Give your business 3-5 years to grow and mature. It takes time to develop your talent. But where else could you compress a 30-50 year career into 3-5 years?
4) Remember, that the grass is never greener in another company–the grass is only greener where you water it. You’ll do 2 things in network marketing: sell a product and promote an opportunity.
5) So pick a company with a product you’re passionate about, and stick with it! Or as my friend Todd says, “Pick a horse & ride it!” Your team deserves your undivided attention & focus on one company and their success! (I don’t know one top earner in our profession who works multiple network marketing businesses!)

I’ve had people try to recruit me into another company, noting “timing” in their company–and said that it was because they are a “ground floor” company. First of all, I don’t endorse cross recruiting people from other companies (respect that they are in the company they chose for a reason) nor do I endorse recruiting based on “hype” (it makes our profession look bad)–neither are good/ethical recruiting practices. There were plenty of people who started in the beginning of our company (who were “first”) who weren’t willing to work, or didn’t have the long term vision and quit–I stayed in it and am a seven figure earner in my company today, and so is my mother. Timing doesn’t guarantee you a check–PRODUCTIVITY DOES! So let’s get to work, and ROCK YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS! Be relentless, do whatever it takes–there’s nothing like seeing your “reason WHY” in action!”

In honor of this recent achievement, and in celebration of my upcoming birthday, I want to leave you with a GIFT!!!!

Have you seen the Disney movie, Frozen?

I’ve had many friends tell me that we should go see it, with or without children so we bought it on Apple TV the other day. Frozen is a story of 2 sisters, and there is an underlying theme of rejection and isolation.

Elsa (the older sister) had hurt her younger sister Anna. As a result of this accident, she put up walls of isolation to protect her sister, and ultimately protect herself. She lived in a place of isolation and complacency. Anna experienced horrible rejection from Elsa, but she didn’t know why.

The very walls that Elsa built to keep the bad stuff out, also kept the good stuff out (fellowship and community with others). She lived in a place of fear and isolation.

Many deal with fear (fear of people, fear of rejection, fear of what people will say, fear of what to say to people). Elsa’s fear was so great that she ran away from her community & calling, and lived in a frozen kingdom of isolation. Toward the end of the movie, LOVE and fellowship (relationship with others) was the cure to the curse.

How many of you have faced rejection and isolation in your life? You’re afraid to talk to people because you’ve built up walls. You now use the excuses; “I’m shy.” “I don’t know people.” “ I am afraid to talk to people.” “I am afraid that they may say no.” Unintentionally you put up walls that keep you from discomfort—but ultimately those very walls are also keeping good stuff out too—more fulfilling friendships and perhaps even potential business partnerships.

I used to do that—because of hurts of my past, I would use the excuse that I was “shy” and “I don’t know people” because I didn’t want to make the effort to reach out to new people, and possibly experience rejection. Until the day I was convicted…

Humans were created for fellowship and relationship. I do not believe that we were designed to be isolated or alone. You see, before I was born, I had a great destiny on my life to lead multitudes of people—and the plan on my life was so great that opposition came in so strong to tell me “you don’t know enough people. You’re shy—how are you going to speak to people, and in front of people? You might as well just quit! You don’t have what I takes!”

Instead of ultimately buying the lie, I identified the lies—and I started intentionally declaring that I loved people, and that I was moving into a season of deeper and more meaningful relationships with people. As a result, I made closer friends than I’ve had in my life—and my business ended up growing by leaps and bounds in the process.

I am amazed that God chose me to lead multitudes—after all I was “formerly shy”, broke, in my 20’s, with no network…yet today lead hundreds of thousands in our profession. Although I was not perfect, I submitted to the destiny and call on my life. Each of you have a great destiny for your life—and it’s time you demonstrate faith and courage, and choose obedience over personal preference. Say goodbye to “complacency” and “comfort”. Make new friends—meet new people—get out of your comfort zone. By pursuing meaningful relationships your life (and your business) will be blessed! You will have a more fulfilled life!

Walls you put up to keep bad stuff out also keep the good stuff out. When you let fear of talking to someone conquer you, you miss out on conquering great things! Declare that you love people, you love fellowship with people & that NOW is your season to make new friends & pursue more meaningful relationships!

“SHY” is no longer an excuse. Decide to make a breakthrough in that area of your life today & experience the fullness of joy with other people in your life! We do not thrive in isolation—we thrive in fellowship with one another.

Will you be FROZEN, or will you be FREE?

Dealing With Rejection In Your Business and Life

“What will people think of me“??? Struggle with the disease to please?

Listen to this brief video message then read below the video for more=>

*NOTE: The video may be more business specific, but the blog text below it will bless anyone that is wanting to learn and grow in this area!

[jwplayer mediaid=”2021″]

Let’s face it–in our business we face a LOT of rejection–people telling us “no”, people who leave the business, people who have opinions about the business, and some people may not celebrate our success or support our excitement along the way!

How we respond to opposition affects our outcome. If I were to “give up” every time someone said “no” or spoke out against me I would have missed out on the greatest blessings that I am experiencing today in my life. If you plan on doing great things in your life, opposition will come–you can’t control that. What you can control is how you respond to it. We have to respond to people with grace, love, and humility. Humility is the ability to not be moved by their flattery OR rejection.

A few years ago, I had a colleague sit me down and tell me all the reasons why “no one liked me” and “everyone was saying X, Y, Z” about me… First of all, let me say that when people say “everyone is saying” it simply isn’t true. “Everyone” doesn’t know you, and most aren’t aware (nor do they care) what is going on. It is typical for a person who is dealing with their own insecurities to try to project a greater picture of opposition onto you so you step down from what you are doing. It’s sad–I wasted time in my life worried about what a few people thought of me–versus the majority who love me, and were waiting for me to lead.

I’ve learned my lesson–I have decided that I will no longer suffer from the “disease to please”. I simply won’t water down my leadership or dim my light in order to make others feel more comfortable in complacency, and keep them trapped in their own insecurities. Who does that serve?

This situation turned out to be one of the greatest blessings in my life. I faced a fork in the road that day that gave me the opportunity to grow, learn, and learn to respond. Initially I wanted to defend myself, gain her approval, and “fix everything”. That wasn’t God’s plan. For 2 years I allowed myself to go through a journey of healing– finding out WHO I was (my value, which wasn’t dependent on other’s opinions.) It turned out to be one of the greatest lessons of my lifetime, which prepared me for an even greater platform of leadership (the more you lead and succeed, the more you’ll face people who don’t like you).

Instead of cursing the problem I had with this gal, I celebrate the outcome today, and one day I am confident that I will have the opportunity to tell her “thank you” for saving my life and leadership–because it was that moment of opposition that caused me to pursue deeper relationships with God, and those in my life who truly loved me–unconditionally. It was the “refining fire” that polished me up, and caused me to pursue deeper and more meaningful things in my life. It motivated me to become a more effective leader, and in turn, I’ve experienced a greater measure of success– I’ve grown in wisdom, confidence and peace (that’s not dependent on other’s) as a result. What a GIFT! I truly am grateful to her for what she’s given me, those I love, and those I lead, as a result of how the opposition forced me to grow. I love her, I honor her, I forgive her–and I pray the same blessings over her business and family that I do for mine.

I can gladly say that I am at peace with who I am and nothing will keep me from loving and leading people. Now this isn’t to say that feelings of rejection never pop up–in fact, the other day a gentleman called to tell me what someone was saying about me. Instead of getting all bent out of shape, I wrote him a loving message saying “If it’s not affecting the people I lead, or affecting how I lead, please don’t share negativity with me. I choose to dwell on positive things and remain in peace.”

If you truly believe you are destined for great things you will have to accept that trials will come your way. Not everyone will appreciate your product or opportunity–not everyone will approve of your leadership. Not everyone will celebrate you. You will have to be “tougher than teflon” if you want to do greater things in your life, and live a life of meaning. In order to be blessed with greater influence and authority, you will have to “pass the tests” that come your way before you can be promoted. How you respond to the “1” hater will be the very thing that will propel you to the next promotion in leading many more people (with many more opinions).

People can’t offend me–I have decided that I will no longer give them that power. I won’t allow them that energy. I need every ounce of my energy and time to pursue my great destiny of influencing thousands of lives for the better on my team, and building orphanages and rescuing kids in need around the world! Don’t allow offense or opposition to steal your peace, or distract you from your destiny and what you’re supposed to be doing today. Why would you quit? Think of all the lives that would be affected negatively (those I love, and those I lead) if I allowed 1 person to talk me into quitting…what if I decided to “buy the lie?”

Don’t be surprised if the favor and blessing that is on your life stirs up opposition in other people. It’s not your problem. There is something that needs to be worked out in them (their own insecurity). You keep building–keep sharing–keep encouraging–keep loving–keep leading–keep shining. Nobody talks about those who quit (that’s what “they” want you to do)–people talk about “winners”. Finish your race & give them something to truly talk about! (smile) I believe in you–GREATER things are ahead!

Lovers will love, haters will hate– do GOOD anyway!

Social Media Training For Network Marketing Professionals

Sharing Your Story On Social Media

Social Media is a powerful place to tell your “story”, as social media is now the #1 activity on the web! Recently, Facebook traffic surpassed Google traffic. What does this mean to our business? Since we are living in a social economy, who you know and what they have to recommend is more influential now than ever before! People trust their friend’s opinions and recommendations. Social media is a great tool of engagement to expose people to your business and products.

When using social media, create posts that engage and inspire, and people will want to follow you! Along with your personal posts, sprinkle in posts about your business. Share stories that relate to the product success and business success of people in your company.

Here are five examples of POWER POSTS for people in the Networking Profession:

1) When a new distributor joins, I have them announce it on Facebook! I have them text me the day they get their kit to announce their business formally and to plan the official launch of their business! I tell them: “When you get your kit, take a cool picture of you with it. If you have kids or a family, make it fun and do it together!” You can say something that creates intrigue such as “mommas got a brand new business! Check it out here (link)”! When people “like” the post, or “comment” on it, you know they see it! Message them in their inbox and say “thank you for supporting my business! I saw you comment on my post, and it meant the world to me. Do you have some time that I could share more with you? I’m looking to expand my business and would love your ideas, support, and referrals! What’s a good time and number to reach you? I’ll announce them on my page a few days following, using the same picture!

2) Post opportunity calls—You never know whose curiosity it will pique. Post call information and say: “Curious about what I do? Listen in to this brief call tonight, and message me after if you’d like to learn more!”

3) Promote events–post a picture of an event flyer and say something like: “Who do you know in Southern California? My business is building there, and we are looking for leaders. Message me to learn more.”

4) Share success stories, testimonials, videos, and pictures—this provides validation, inspiration, and social proof. Do this for both product results and business success stories you come across of other distributors and customers.

For the business, you can create interest by posting about when someone makes a bonus, promotion, earns a car or trip, has a milestone in their business, etc. People will begin to watch and wonder how they can achieve that success too.

For the product, you can post before and after pictures, and customer testimonials. Always be sure each product post has a link to your product site at the end.

5) Do your own giveaways, and always post when there are company specials! Share your excitement any time something new launches or any time there is press on your products.

Facebook is a great place to network your business & share your story! Now let’s get social! Here are several social media trainings I’ve shared over time, that you can pass on to your team to help them ROCK their online presence=>

Prospecting Ideas and Tips for Network Marketing Professionals

Prospecting and inviting is the most critical skill you need to develop to find success in your network marketing career. Prospecting is talking to people, and sharing your product and business, and inviting them to learn more via call, coffee, live meeting or event. How many will you have to talk to before you find success? Watch this video below to hear my odds–remember, yours could be different but it will give you a realistic idea of how long it could take, and that we need to maintain “marathon mentality”– it’s not a sprint or a race. Those who win, endure! After watching the video, check out prospecting tips and language below, and also, our 80K Giveaway!!! ===>

[jwplayer mediaid=”2003″]

— I brainstorm with my newbies regularly “who is your hottest prospect today, tell me about them, how can I help you reach out to them?” You can email them language, and prospecting tips too. For example:

Call or message people you know

“I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I know you’ve built an incredible network in Chicago. I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but I am building a business there and I immediately thought of you because I know how well networked you are there. I’m hoping I could share more about what we’re doing, and who we’re looking to partner with as we expand there, and see if this is a good fit for anyone you know in the area. I’d love to pick your brains and get ideas of how to expand my business there. Do you have just a few minutes so I can share more?”

Talk to people who provide you service (waiters, bank tellers, cashiers, etc)

“Thanks for your great service today! We are looking for people like you for our business! I know you are working, but could we exchange information? I’d love to tell you more about what I do! What time are you off of work so I can call?”

Talk to people when you’re out and about

Start with compliments—ask them questions about their family, where they work, etc. I like to eventually ask: Where are you from? –This question will lead you into what I like to call your “professional pick up line” later on. Keep conversing like the game of ping pong, and eventually say how nice it was to meet them. Then ask: “Do you have a card? Earlier you mentioned you were from <their city>. My business is expanding to <their city>. I would like to give you a call and take just a few minutes to tell you what we’re doing there, and who we’re looking for and pick your brain. I’ve so enjoyed talking to you—I’d love to reconnect and see if you can help me out.”

OR Use the “Sample pack approach”

When you’re out, give compliments, ask a lot of questions, and network! Have a normal conversation. Before you leave: “I’ve loved chatting with you today and want to leave you a little gift. I wanted to share some products with you that I am in love with! I know you’ll love them too. There are instructions on how to use them. If you promise you will use them, I promise I will follow-up and stay in touch! Today is Sunday. I will call you on Tuesday to see how you love them. What time works best for you?” Exchange info, schedule a time to follow up, and FOLLOW UP!

Prospect on Facebook

“Hi Joanna! I realize this is out the blue…. hope you’re well! I know you live in Utah & that market is an important area of growth for my business for multiple reasons. You may or may not have a personal interest, but either way I would love to tell you who I am looking for in the hopes you might know someone. Can you please shoot me your cell? I’m hoping you can help me & would love to catch up with you if nothing else. (*personalize the conversation here*) Congrats on your darling son! 10-15 minutes is all I need, as I’m sure that’s all you have time for as well right now. Thanks & I’ll drop you another message later next week if I don’t hear from you first.” Thanks Amy Byrd for this language!

Teach them to invite people on to a call or coffee with you – or to your next meeting or event!

I tell my newbies: Now, you need to start calling people, and scheduling calls and coffees with me. I will present to them and help you to get new customers and consultants. Daily activity and consistency is key! Have long term vision, and give your business the time it takes to be successful! It only takes a few “power partners” to build a big business–but you never know how many you’ll have to talk to until you find them! So keep prospecting and inviting–and GO for your GOLD!

Speaking of GOLD…

You guys truly are some of the brightest blessings in my lives. When I left teaching to pursue my network marketing career, I felt sad to leave a profession that I loved–but I quickly realized that I could fulfill my passion for teaching through this blog, and through my books and CDs, and trainings.

5 “Firsts” How to Rock A Fast Start In Network Marketing

Hey there Rock Stars, Sarah “Rockin” Robbins here!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being asked to train on two team calls, as well as on my own team call. I decided to choose a topic that I have recently been reflecting on–the power of a “fast start”–how to start newbies strong!

After recruiting 10 new people personally last month, I really honed in on what the most important things are to get new people into action—and how to keep them (and myself) from getting overwhelmed, and get them off to a rockin start! Watch this quick video, then read below for an outline (and language) to help start your newbies strong (and if you’re new, use these tips to start yourself strong too!) =>

[jwplayer mediaid=”1997″]

The core principals of what it takes to build big in network marketing are timeless and universal. Stick to your system (which will include these tips)–I want to share with you 5 focuses within my system to help newbies start strong! I call it my “5 Firsts” To Help Your “Rock Your Network Marketing Business”

Here are 5 things I do to focus on getting newbies off to a rockin start=>

1) POWER PARTNER TOGETHER FROM DAY 1

Set an enrollment appointment to help them choose their getting started package, and enroll in your monthly auto ship. Good leadership starts from the enrollment appointment. When you’re done, do a website walkthrough together. Teach them how to place an order and where to find training. Get them excited about starting the products, and have them take their “before” picture for before and after’s to build belief with their prospects later on! (if applicable).

I send them a welcome email and give them homework that’s income producing. I tell them: Write down every name you have in your Facebook, phone, and the memory jogger I send you, and write down the people you want to share your new business with—and let’s set a time to talk about HOW tomorrow!

2) Goal Setting and Going Through Their Contact List (Day 2)

We talk about their why—their immediate goals and any company goals they can go for. We then talk about how to get there–which requires daily activity, and consistent activity of “exciting and inviting” their prospects to learn more via call with me, coffee, or to their launch event or a team event. I tell them– If you reach out to a few new people every day, you will build a big business over time. We then discuss ideas of how to reach out to people on their list— I brainstorm with my newbies regularly “who is your hottest prospect today, tell me about them, how can I help you reach out to them?”

You can email them language, and prospecting tips too. For example:

Call or message people you know

Talk to people who provide you service (waiters, bank tellers, cashiers, etc)

Talk to people when you’re out and about

OR Use the “Sample pack approach”

Prospect on Facebook

Teach them to invite people on to a call or coffee with you – or to your next meeting or event!

I tell my newbies: Now, you need to start calling people, and scheduling calls and coffees with me. I will present to them and help you to get new customers and consultants. Let’s talk again when you get your kit. Text me when it’s here!

3) Their distributor kit is here! I have them text me the day they get their kit to announce their business formally and to plan the official launch of their business! Doors are officially open! I tell them: When you get your kit, take a cool picture of you with it. If you have kids or a family, make it fun and do it together! There’s a cool app that allows you to put some fun text on it called “Rhonna” (iPhone app store). You can say something that creates intrigue such as “mommas got a brand new business!” Announce your new business on Facebook, and be sure in the post to include a link to your website “check it out here (link)”! When people “like” the post, or “comment” on it, you know they see it! Message them in their inbox and say “thank you for supporting my business! I saw you comment on my post, and it meant the world to me. Do you have some time that I could share more with you? I’m looking to expand my business and would love your ideas, support, and referrals! What’s a good time and number to reach you?

I’ll announce them on my personal page a few days following, using the same picture, and tagging them to get them more visibility that week.

We then talk about launching their business with an official event!

This is a simple way to get their business and products in front of a lot of people at once! You know that list they made? They can invite everyone on that list to come to the grand opening of their new business. It can be a fun theme (leave the aging to wine and cheese, cocktails and conversations, or coffee and conversations if during the day!) Sending out invitations gets the best response, and always have them follow up a day or two before the event with a text reminding your guests of how happy they are they will be there (this keeps them from backing out). Encourage guests to bring a friend—the more people you have, the more new customers and consultants they will get!

If they are local, I will do the event, so not much prep is needed besides setting up! If they are long distance, I will do the presentation via skype! I just did 2 of these for new out of state personal recruits yesterday. It was simple. I skyped into their event. They have their computer hooked up to their TV via HDMI cord so everyone could see me, along with loud speakers so everyone could hear me. I held up the products while giving the presentation about the business and products. They closed the event by making product suggestions, taking orders, and asking guests if they saw anything about the business that intrigued them—and if so, they scheduled a 3-way call with me.

To keep the momentum going, I tell them after that they can always ask friends to host events for them, to get in front of a lot of people at once! Say: “My business is building in your area. I would love to meet new people. Would you host an event for me? I‘m happy to give you free product as a thank you!” This is a great way to grow a customer base fast!

4) I make sure they continue to keep posting, keep calling , keep inviting.

I tell them: Follow my lead on Facebook, play “follow the leader”!

Keep reaching out to a few NEW people every day with the ideas I shared! Set up calls, coffees, events with me! Keep doing events! I will stay in touch regularly your first month to ask you about your progress, ask you who your hottest prospects are and help you close them, and help plan your events.

5) KEEP THEM PLUGGED INTO SYSTEMS:

Keep them plugged into calls, meetings, and events!

You keep recruiting, and be available for their “income producing activity”!

Have Fun With This guys!!!

You can create your own fun experiences for your team too, as it grows! This creates culture, which is the “glue” that holds your team together. The friendships are what keep people in the business when there are distractions in life. Set up parties, barbecues, quarterly recognition events, team get-togethers at conventions, or retreats.! A team who plays together, stays together!

As your team grows, so will your leadership. It’s important that you decide today what kind of leader you want to be, and what kind of culture you create for your team. Always remember, whatever you do will duplicate, starting today! Create the culture that you desire and your team deserves.

Regular Events Will ROCK Your Network Marketing Business

Many people are amazed by my story– formerly shy kindergarten teacher turned 6-figure per month earner in network marketing in just 5 years! To be honest, my story surprises me too! Many people ask how I did it, and I tell them: I was coachable, and committed to daily activity, and long-term success!

When I started my business I was shy, young, and broke–and to be honest, I didn’t have much of a network. I knew to be successful in a business of networking, I would have to make some “exchanges” of time–get out of my comfort zone to “go where the people are”–be patient, and celebrate my progress along the way.

I would go to networking groups (alone). I would contact the few people I did know (and ask for referrals, and reach out to those referral sources). I leveraged social media (consistently). I would get of my house and strike up conversation (and go where the people are). I would even do events (my company is not a party plan company, but I’m willing to do anything for a short period of time to produce the long-term financial freedom that I desire, and my family deserved!)

I began doing events in my home each month, and told my friends to invite their friends–Each month had a new theme! These events were a powerful way to create awareness around our product and business, and helped me to get my initial customers and contacts for the business!

I recently brought on board a few new local partners, and it got me so excited that I felt like I was starting my business over again! My two new partners and I set a time on Saturday morning to get together, and I told them “invite your friends! Tell them they can come hear more about what you’re up to for an hour, and you can treat them to lunch and shopping afterward!” (we have great shopping and restaurants right by us!) Here’s a picture of me setting up=>

Coffee & Conversations

It was a blast! Each gal had a few guests, and the 10 of us sat around my table, sipped coffee, and I talked about the business (how I got involved, and why we are so excited about it–and why I thought each gal would be great too!) Then I talked about the product (an overview of each one, which sat on my table–as well as my own results and making a recommendation for them!) I asked them “what interested you the most? The product or the business?” Each one said “the business!” So, I pulled out my calendar and said “let’s pencil in an enrollment appointment for you now. I’ll send you home with info to review, and we will get you rockin then! If anything changes, let me know–otherwise, I have this time set aside specifically for you to answer your questions, and get you started!”

It was so simple–and SUCCESSFUL– Brittney signed on her guest, who is signing on her friend–and Beth signed on a new partner who is signing on a few of her friends! A one hour coffee turned into 10 new team members for us!!! We said, “let’s do this again!”, and keep the momentum going! They plan to start hosting regular events close to them too, and to keep “inviting” and to teach their team to do the same!!!

It’s so simple! Upon being asked a question about your business, products, what you do, or how you retired, etc. OR if you have prospected someone and they’re interested, you can easily say “We’re having a meeting Tuesday night at 7 and you can come see what you think and if this opportunity is right for you! I’d love for you to meet my friends too! I’ll pick you up and treat you to a drink after, and answer your questions!”

I want to encourage you today to plan a “Cocktails and Conversations” Event, or a “Coffee and Conversations” Event! Invite your friends, prospects, and customers– and tell your team to invite their friends (“it’s fun, and I’ll treat you to lunch/dinner! And we can network with other wonderful people!”) Paint the vision at the meeting, ask for the order, or enrollment appointment–and watch your team GROW, all in the privacy of your own home! If it works well, do it again, and again, and again…like my mom and I did (and we are both 6-figure MONTHLY earners in our company!)

Are You In Love?

I know I am! What a blessing it is to walk out our reason “why” and do what we LOVE every single day! That’s what gets us so excited!!! I was looking back in messages, and found this little gem! I LOVE network marketing!! Enjoy…

Are You In LOVE???
Who is a good candidate for joining you in this business?
We say, “someone who is a people-person”. Yet we’ve seen people who are bona fide people-people, and don’t go far in this business. And people who have gone far in this business, yet who are not especially people-people.

We say, “Look for people who have influence in their community”. But the same caveat applies: the correlation often fails to hold.

We say, “Look for people with whom you share a common bond”. Hmm, I have close friends who are not interested in joining my business.

So when you go prospecting, who are you really looking for? I think you’re looking for someone who falls in LOVE. How do you know? There are three signs to look for:

1. They see it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is this opportunity. You can’t make someone see the value this business model has to offer. You can show it and explain it, but that only goes so far. They see it, or they don’t. There’s an expression in network marketing: “You can’t say the right thing to the wrong person, or the wrong thing to the right person”. This is true in friendship, in courtship, and in this business.

2. They want it.
We like to say, “Anyone can succeed in this business”, but that’s not accurate. Who can succeed here is anyone who wants to, and a lot of people don’t. This business is not for everyone. For one thing, it’s work (*that eliminates a lot of people right there.) It also requires resiliance in the face of repeated disappointment, a willingness and capacity to work in partnerships with others, and faith in human nature. Most of all, it requires a compelling interest in succeeding at this business that borders on passion. This often has nothing to do with the candidates financial status. It’s not something you can predict or predefine; it’s an individual matter.

3. They DO it.
This last should be obvious, but evidence suggests it’s not, because I keep seeing leaders and aspiring leaders in this business who persistently chase after, attempt to work with, struggle to figure out how to offer the right support to, and pin hopes upon people in their networks who are clearly not doing it. There are people who see it and want it, but just won’t do it. Puzzling, I know…but there it is. What’s missing? They’re not in love.

You can’t make them SEE it, WANT it, nor DO it. You can’t make someone FALL IN LOVE.

And when they do…watch out…because nothing will stop them!

-John David Mann

Are you IN LOVE???? I know I am!

Because of my unshakable belief I was able to begin in network marketing as a shy kindergarten teacher with no network–and because of my love and passion for our powerful profession, was able to establish a 6-figure MONTHLY income by the age of 29! If I can do it, so can YOU!

Fall in LOVE with your business–and then you’ll be unstoppable too!

And now for a little more “LOVE”… a training tip for the week=>

We’ve created a culture of LOVE– a “sorority feel” or “sisterhood” on our team. Culture is the “glue” that holds your team together! Culture serves two purposes: 1) making our consultants feel welcomed, recognized, and appreciated 2) It engages our online “followers” and encourages friends and family to ask what we do, and want to be a part of it!

One of the ways we do this is through our “welcome posts” to our new consultants on our personal Facebook pages (hope you watched my social media trainings–you get Part 1 and 2 recordings for FREE when you make a purchase for books or CDs on this site!)

Here’s 1 of 5 things I coach my new consultants to do “first” when getting started:

Your kit is here! Text me the day you get your business kit to announce your business formally and to plan the official launch of your business! Doors are officially open! When you get your kit, take a cool picture of you with it (open it up, spread stuff out, make it fun!) If you have kids or a family, make it fun and do it together! There’s a cool app that allows you to put some fun text on it called “Rhonna” (iPhone app store). You can say something that creates intrigue such as “mommas got a brand new business!” Announce your new business on Facebook, and be sure in the post to include a link to your website “check it out here (link)”! When people “like” the post, or “comment” on it, you know they see it! This is an open door for conversation. Message them in their inbox and say “thank you for supporting my business! I saw you comment on my post, and it meant the world to me. Do you have some time that I could share more with you? I’m looking to expand my business where you are, and would love your ideas, support, and referrals! What’s a good time and number to reach you?”

I announce my newbies on my page a few days following, using the same picture, and tagging them to get you more visibility that week.

(*See example below–and WELCOME to my “newbie knockout” Tiffany! She uploaded the pic with the text “mommy’s new biz” onto FB first, announcing her business, and sharing her website! She inboxed each person who engaged on her post! Days later, I downloaded the pic, and added the “Congratulations Tiffany” text, uploaded to my FB, and asked my team to help in welcoming her. I tagged her, so it showed up on her page again for more visibility from her friends and family!

This helps to:

1) Encourage your team

2) Edify your newbie

3) Engage your online audience

This works really great for posting promotions too!

How To Do Effective Three-Way Calls In Network Marketing

3-Way Calling is an important tool in our MLM/ Network Marketing Toolbox.

What is a 3 way call?

A 3 way call (or conference call) is when a consultant brings their guest on the line with you (the sponsor) to hear more about your story and the company story.

Why are 3 way calls important?

These calls provide third-party validation, and social-proof (allows guests to see what’s possible by hearing other success stories). For new distributors, the calls are invaluable as it allows them to get off to a fast start (simply learning the art of inviting–inviting to a presentation or call) and following up with a 3 way call (where their sponsor can help them answer questions, objections, and close). This allows new distributors to leverage the experience of the sponsor and let’s the new consultant get off a fast start while they’re still learning/perfecting the story, this helps them develop their language, skill, and knowledge base. It allows the new consultant to learn how to answer questions and handle objections. Not to mention, these calls foster quick duplication in your organization.

Leaders use these calls too, as it allows their prospect to hear different perspective and provides further validation of the opportunity.

When to use 3 way calls?

I recommend that you invite a prospect to a 3 way call with your sponsor, or an upline leader after they’ve expressed some interest (they’ve listened in to an opportunity call, attended an event, or reviewed material and are open to learning more.)

How to do a 3 way call

Google “how to do a 3 way call on an iPhone” or whatever phone you have. Practice dialing in 2 other people before you do your actual call.

Scheduling the 3 way call

When a prospect expresses interest after hearing more from you, or from a call, meeting or event, scheduling a 3-way call with your sponsor or upline afterward is very powerful. If you are new, simply say: “I want to share more, but I’m new and just getting started. Can I introduce you to my business partner to share more with you? This way, you’ll get all of your questions answered, and this will help me to learn more as well!” (Edify your sponsor and share their success story to provide further validation of the opportunity, and what’s possible).

If you’re not new you can say “I have access to a top leader in the company and I’d love to introduce them to you. You’d enjoy hearing her story and I think you guys would get along well. Can I make a quick introduction?”

When they agree, schedule the time with your sponsor, or upline. I use a service that I love, and it’s called timetrade (they will give you a free trial). Here’s why I love them– it’s an online scheduling system that keeps my team from having to go back and forth between me and their prospect to find a time to coordinate three busy schedules (the prospect, my team member, and mine). Instead, I choose the times that I am available, my team member can find the time that works for them and their prospect, and sign up online, and I get an alert to my phone before the call. It even allows my team to tell me more about the prospect or their objections in the “notes” section before the call. It’s simple, professional, and saves me so much time!!!

Here’s a 5 minute tutorial/informational video I put together for you on timetrade=> http://screencast.com/t/HfnATW5rOHu2

How to Do a 3 Way Call

15 minute Script For a 3-Way Call or Coffee

C= consultant bringing guest to the call

S= sponsor sharing

G= guest or prospect

C: Hi Sarah, this is Kris. I have my friend Phil on the line.

S: Hi Phil!

C: Phil is an incredible businessman and is very well networked in the metro Detroit area. I told him our business is rapidly expanding there, and I wanted to introduce him to you. Phil—this is my business partner Sarah who is going to share more with you about our business that’s expanding in your area. Sarah’s a great leader who will be able to share with your her perspective, and answer any questions you have today.

S: Hi Phil! Great to talk to you today. I’m thrilled to share more with you. Kris told me great things about you before the call so I feel like I know you. Before I get started I’d love to hear what intrigues you most about our opportunity.

G: Guest shares

S: Thank you for sharing. I’d like to take a few minutes to share our business with you and how and why I got started. Afterwards I’d love to hear what questions you have and let you guide the conversation from there. Does that sound ok to you Phil? (Sponsor shares their packaged success story– their background, how they were introduced to the company, why they decided to join, what the company is doing for them). Weave in your company story–and more importantly share the benefits that the prospect would have in joining–what it can mean to them, and why they’d be a great fit.

Then: “With that, we’d love to pass the call back over to you and ask any questions you have in regards to the products or how you would get started in the business.” I then answer questions, and handle objections.

At the end of the conversation I like to ask them: “Based on what I’ve shared today, what intrigues or excites you the most?” Then: “Do you have a personal interest in learning more about the opportunity or products?” If they don’t have interest say, “Do you know anyone who would be interested?”

If they are interested in the product: “If you have a few minutes, we can make a proper product recommendation for you now, and help you in getting your order processed now!”

If they are interested in getting started in the business: “Getting started is quick and easy. Do you have a few minutes so we can walk you through the enrollment now?”

If they are interested but need more information: “We are going to send you some links to review now. Please write down your questions, and we will revisit tomorrow. Let’s schedule the follow-up call now.”

If they are not interested at all: Thank them for their time! Add them to your newsletter list and Facebook for monthly follow up, and so they become a part of your “audience”, watching what you do over time. Again, ask for referrals. If you replace every “no” with a referral your contact list will never run dry! Follow up with them from time to time, letting them know what’s new and exciting in your company, and see if the time is right to revisit.

The fortune is in the follow-up

The fortune is in the follow up! After talking to anyone, no matter what the response, I sent them a follow up email thanking them for their time, along with links to our business, products, success stories and my website, should they know someone who may be interested, or in case they have interest down the road. You’ll always need to be talking to people to keep your business building. The best way to master the skill is by talking to people every day. As you do this, your skillset increases, and so do your set of odds. Practice helps you to rock your presenting skills!

I share a detailed 3 way call script in my best-selling book, Rock Your Network Marketing Business, which you can learn more about here.
