Timing in business…

People often ask me, when is the best time to get into a business opportunity? My answer is, “if your belief level is so strong it makes you cry, then today.” Successful people take action immediately despite of fear. It´s like buying a house, just do it. You can easily find property anywhere, we buy houses cincinnati especially with the help of Costello Realty & Management .

You see many people don’t know this but the reason I got involved in this industry was because of a girl not because of money. And no the girl wasn’t in a network marketing company, she was an ex-girlfriend who left me for another guy. As depressing as that sounds, it was and it took me awhile to get over her.

The beauty of this story though is that I got invited to a business opportunity that summer of nineteen nighty-nine. It was my 2nd exposure to Amway and it was called Quixtar at the time. I had no idea who these people were or why they looked so happy as if they were on crack :-). But this set a seed in me that would keep me addicted to this industry for years to come.

So many of you know that my primary product at the moment that I have been passionate about is Kangen Water because of what the water did for my 3 year old son Adam [click to read the story]. My point in sharing with you that link is that you will read the full story of why I became so passionate.

As I stated earlier, your why has to be so big of why you’re doing this business that it makes you cry. Sometimes if not all the time it’s bigger than money. Some people just show up to feel that they’re apart of something huge. But I saw the product results, I saw the potential and I went to work. Is it ok to say that I’m money motivated when I see something huge? I am now a top leader in Kangen Water thanks to my wonderful mentor and duplicateable coaching.

Every installment loans with monthly terms that you get involved with has a marketing/sales department. I don’t care if you’re not a sales person. Get over your funk and figure out what happened to you at a young age to hate asking for the order. Sales and Marketing is the highest paid profession on planet earth – Period.

Take someone like me for example. I was a left brain thinker, engineer as I started my professional career. I realized very quickly that I love engineering, but I love network marketing even more. The self improvement and personal growth is priceless (seriously). You have to make a living first with it before you can make a fortune. Therefore, I don’t recommend quitting your job until you have come to surpass your primary income (job).

So when looking for a part-time business, my recommendation is do your homework on what your passion is. Make sure the product says what it says it’s going to be/do. Don’t just drink it on faith and make a story in your head about it. Actually see the results and your belief level will be strong. Give out samples of your product and let others let you know what they think.

Most of you know that my niche is Craigslist and I rock it quite well. I have produced over $55,000 in less than 7 months just utilizing Craigslist. You can see how [I did it here (CraigslistAdPower.com)]. The strategies work and they will continue to work.

Finally, I recommend if you’re going to build ANY business. Whether it’s real estate (which is my passion), MLM or network marketing (my vehicle to purchase more real estate), or traditional brick and mortar business, you need these tools (www.biztoolsuite.com), if you choose real estate I suggest to get in contact with Advantage Properties, you can get lots of experience from their work, you can also check Mr. Scott Nordheimer who does a pretty awesome job.

You yourself that wants to succeed should copycat those that have made it happen. Sure you can go invest in PPC, SEO, SMO courses, but those won’t pay you today. If you want results and action quick, utilize this message and apply it. I’m an up front cut to the chase no crap type of guy. If you want results, take action today.

Our knowledgeable cincinnati real estate professionals focus on providing informed perspectives and clear solutions, drawing experience from a variety of backgrounds including accounting, tax, advisory, banking, regulation and corporate finance.

If you’re still at a job and tight on funds, start small but start somewhere. Go make a list of your friends and family and practice with them. This wasn’t my niche but some people are successful at it. I encourage you to just start and run with it.

Make it a profitable hour.

The Perfect Follow Up System

Follow up letters. They are the key to email marketing. Whether you are selling a product or trying to enroll new people into a MLM program. Follow up letters make the difference between a forgotten offer and a sale.

This is a wonderful system that will make the clicks turn into sales, even for the most difficult of prospects. Though it is geared mostly toward those promoting a network marketing program, it can easily be incorporated into any type of offer.

1. The First Letter
Once a person requests information on your offer, a letter should be immediately sent out to each person thanking them for their interest. This letter should briefly introduce yourself and detail the benefits of your offer. Avoid speaking about the features of your offer. Nobody buys features. They are only interested in how your product will benefit them. It’s the “what’s in it for me” mentality.
Be sure to supply a link to your page/order form, and, it is recommended, your contact information (telephone # and best time to reach you). Do this on every letter you send for your business from now on.

2. The first Follow-up Letter (24 hrs after initial letter)
This letter should remind the prospects that they requested the information from you. Tell them you’ll give them a special bonus if they enroll, but tell them that you can only offer the bonus for 72 hours and to take advantage of it as soon as possible.

3. The Second Follow-up Letter (48 hrs after initial letter)
This letter can be about your story and how this program has made a difference in your life. If you write as the average “Joe”, your prospects will be able to identify with you easier. This letter should sound sincere and NOT hyped.
Excited maybe, but NOT hyped. Think about how you can relate your situation to theirs every step of the way as you write it. Talk about all the benefits you have received since you enrolled. How it has helped you, unlike other similar programs you either tried or looked into. How you’re confident they will benefit from it like you.
Also talk about how you will support them. Remember this. Most people want to know they can depend on someone for guidance and help when they need it. But if you make a commitment to support them, don’t take it lightly. Your support is the #1 reason you will develop a loyal and committed downline.
Remind them they have only 48 hours left to get your bonus offer.

4. Third Follow-up Letter (72 hours after initial letter)
Here is where you offer an additional bonus. Make this a very attractive bonus and even better than the first. This is where you must bring a call for action. Make the bonus as irresistible as possible and you will bring a good percentage aboard. Remind them that they only have 24 hours to take advantage of the bonuses you’ve offered.
Also, supply just a few testimonials and state something like, “Don’t take my word for it…”

5. Final Follow-up Letter (84-90 hours after initial letter)
This is your final follow up. Don’t leave anything on the table. They have not signed up yet, so ask “Why haven’t you enrolled yet?” Get as much feedback as possible (it helps you to improve YOUR weak areas).

You might want to offer them something to get their feed back…like the first bonus. If you can get them to send feedback, you still have an opportunity to recruit them.
Provide a few extra benefits that you may have not included in the first letters, or mention the strongest ones again. Mention that your bonus offer has almost expired. Explain that you are a winner and don’t accept failing…ever! You want them on your winning team and will do everything in your power to see them become successful. Possibly offer to help them recruit, at first, so long as they are willing to learn from a winning team and put forth the effort so they can in turn, duplicate your success.

Leave them with, “Now it’s up to you to prove to yourself that this program is everything I’ve said and more.” Remind them, “Wouldn’t a few hundred dollars extra a month makes a big difference in your life? How about a few thousand? Better yet, be your own boss and achieve total financial independence.”

Be as bold as possible without making any false claims, and you just might push some of them over the fence. NEVER talk about big money unless you’ve already made it. Otherwise, your credibility is lost and your downline will quit. Speaking of fence, get some privacy and install a privacy fence today.

Your continued success will VERY MUCH depend on how well you work with your downline.
