“Let me show you how to get 100 leads a day!” Hmmm, maybe I’m an old cynic but what does that mean when you hear it? Are the leads real and how do they translate into genuine prospects and then business partners? There are a lot of folk in our profession who appear to stress quantity over quality. Seriously, could you call 100 people a day?
We all work with different lead generating systems. In the one I use, a lead is really only of value if I can call him or her. Simply opting in to a list means little. That useful lead then only becomes a prospect if the first call results in building a relationship.

Are you still looking for the four leaf clover or the rabbit’s foot? Of course not because you know that the harder we work, the luckier we get – you don’t need that stuff. We are all true network marketing professionals. I wonder…..

So you want to earn 10K a month or even just 5K. But have you ever seen that kind of money? Do you know what it feels like? If you or your new team members are like most people, that’s like funny money – to begin with. [click to continue…]

The teacher in my karate class last night really captured my attention……are you wondering what is coming next?
They say stories sell – well maybe not quite but they catch people’s attention. We don’t see them as a sales pitch so we are listening to what follows. You know how it is when you are stuck for inspiration for an article or a video. You want something original and everyone else you read seems so good but nothing comes.

“When you focus on yourself, you increase the tension but when you focus on the other person, you decrease the tension.”
Sometimes this is easier said than done even though I’m sure most of you are familiar with Zig Ziglar’s oft quoted saying “Help enough other people to get what they want and you can have everything you want.”
The trouble is that it is easy to say these things but sometimes we fall short. I know I do which is why I often talk about this in different ways! After all we are all human. You know how it is when you have had a lean patch in your business; maybe growth has slowed right down.
