increase income - increase prospecting
2008-07-28 20:02:00 Monday 28: Just had proof of my appallingly low income for the last financial year. While it is already better for the next (financial) year, it shows how reactive I have been on the prospecting front. Disgraceful, of course, for someone who was such a successful salesperson! Hopefully, by the end of a targeted fortnight, ...

My Prospecting Secrets Revealed!
2008-06-19 22:25:00 Let me start off by explaining the biggest benefit of providing your downline members with a viral prospecting system.It boils down to this...When you have a viral prospecting system in place for your team members, your downline has the potential to take on a life of its own and continue to grow effortlessly while you're focusing on more important things such as family and friends.A gentleman I recently discovered managed to accomplish the difficult task of duplication while maintaining his full time job and family life.He mentioned that ever since the beginning of his online ventures he had been searching for a system that brought interested prospects in automatically.He didn't have time to do the traditional recruiting methods because they required a lot of time and commitment.What he wanted instead, was a huge downline that duplicated on auto-pilot from his part time efforts."But did such a solution exist?"If it did, he said he couldn't find it...So after many years of strugg...
Commercial Mortgage Prospecting: Meet and Greet
2008-06-06 20:22:00 When it comes to prospecting for commercial mortgage deals, we like to say that the sky is the limit. What do we mean by that? Simple: When you sit down and think about it, your daily life is touched by commercial real estate much more than it is touched by residential real estate. When you leave your house, or better yet, your apartment building in the morning, almost everything that you see on your way to work, the gym, the doctor or most any other destination will have something to do with commercial real estate, and by extension commercial mortgage financing. Let's go back to your apartment building. That building has an owner, and that owner may need to refinance, may need to cash out, or may not need anything at all. RIGHT NOW! The fact is that at some point that building owner may need to do something with the current property, OR might want to buy a new property. At the very least, that owner will probably know other owne...
Improving Prospecting
2008-05-19 16:20:00 While at the NAR midyear meetings I had some great conversations with attendees about my recent "Future of MLS Features" article, and I was prompted for some of the additional "incremental change" ideas that I had referenced in that article. I provided a few ideas to those industry colleagues that asked, and here's one of those ideas: how prospecting should be improved. Prospecting, for those who don't deal with it all the time, is the capability for an MLS user to add a contact (usually a consumer, known as "the prospect") and perform one or more searches based on the prospect's property search criteria, the results of which would be sent to the prospect on a regular basis so that they can interact with the real estate professional and let them know what properties are of interest. In some systems, an HTML email with the property information is sent to the consumer, in other systems just a link to a search results web page is sent to the consumer. Different MLS systems provide...

Sales Prospecting : An Art and A Science
2008-04-10 21:04:00 “Sales prospecting, from the viewpoint of the competent engineer, is both an art and a science” Some thoughts on this by Engineer Mike Science is all about discovery, and successful sales prospecting begins with a discovery. What’s surprising about that? you may ask. Of course you have to discover who your sales prospects are, that’s why it’s called prospecting. However, where the art of salemanship comes in, is that the secret of successful sales prospecting is not discovering people to whom you can talk about your company’s products and services. Effective sales prospecting hinges on discovering folks who have a burning need for something that your company can supply in a timely fashion at a highly competitive price. What about the Competition? There will be times when the folks you’re talking to would be more effectively served by a competitor’s offering. People who would be better served by your rivals aren’t going to become...

Are Your Prospecting Calls Repulsive?
2008-03-08 21:02:00 Think of yourself as a magnet and watch to see what is drawn to you and what is repulsed. You are always either attractive or repulsive. Over the last couple of weeks, I've written in general terms about how important your vibration and attitude are to drawing to you what you want. It's an interesting truth that just taking actions does NOT produce results unless there is a strong relation to your values. The inspiration and motivation come from those values, not from just randomly doing "stuff." That is why some people can seemingly be successful in an effortless way and others seem to work very hard and not have the results to show for it. Let me give you a specific example. How do you feel about making prospecting calls? Let's take a little test: Score on a 1-10 with 10 being Love it and 1 being Hate it: • Calls to st...

MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 7 - Attraction Marketing & Funded Market
2008-01-29 02:09:00 In part 6 of this prospecting series, I talked about how to use pay per click marketing to rapidly produce prospects for your products, services and opportunity who will be so hot that in many cases they will CALL YOU instead of you chasing after them.In this final part to this prospecting series, I will share with you one of the most advanced techniques in prospecting. In my personal opinion, this method of prospecting is probably not going to be right for 99% of your organization and if you teach it to them, you will probably distract them and they will probably fail. However, for the relative few in your organization that this type of prospecting might be right for, this select few can revolutionize your organizational growth and your income.This method of prospecting is called attraction marketing & funded marketing. They are two separate methods of prospecting, but when you combine them, they make a very powerful 1-2 punch for building ANY network marketing, direct sales...
MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 6 - Pay Per Click Prospecting
2008-01-25 19:27:00 In our last article we spoke about the power of social and community network marketing as a way to generate prospects for your MLM business for free. Today, I want to talk about another very powerful vehicle for generating high quality prospects for your MLM business and that is pay per click prospecting.Whenever you perform a search on a search engine such as Google or Yahoo, there are two types of search results that appear. The first type is called organic search. These are the search results that appear naturally based upon the words and phrases searched for. The second type is called pay per click results. These are advertisers that pay to have their ads display among the search results.As an advertiser, you pay based on the number of people that click on your ad. Therefore if no one clicks on your ad, you don't have to pay anything. This is great because you only pay for the amount of people that actually come to your web site, as oppose to people who just look at your...
MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 5 - Social & Community Networking Prospe
2008-01-25 02:02:00 In part 4 of this series we spoke about the power of purchasing and contacting business opportunity leads for building your MLM business. In part 5, we will discuss the power of using social & community web sites as a free way of prospecting for your MLM business.On the internet, there are numerous social & community based web sites that you can use to prospect for your MLM business. A social networking web site is a web site where a group of people come together to network, make new friends and even date. The most popular social networking web site is Myspace. Another very popular social networking web site is Facebook. These web sites have tens of millions of people that you can meet and build a relationship with over the internet.A community based web site is a web site where a group of people get together to discuss a common interest. For example, one of the community web sites that I visit on a regular basis is the Rich Dad web site. This web site is centered aro...
MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 4 - Business Opportunity Leads
2008-01-23 18:43:00 In part 3 of this article series we spoke about the three foot rule and the most effective way to implement it into your prospecting efforts. In part 4 of this series, we will speak of business opportunity leads.A business opportunity lead is a prospect that has made a request for more information about working from home. That request can come from many forms, from the internet, from a magazine ad, from the radio or on television.A business opportunity lead can come with various levels of information. It can have as little as just a name and email address or it can have as much as specific information as to how much money the prospect is looking to invest in a business, how much time they have to put into a business, etc.I have found the biggest challenge with business opportunity leads is the level of quality. There are hundreds, if not thousands of companies that sell business opportunity leads. In my opinion, I would say that the majority of these companies have very poor qu...
MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 3 - The 3 Foot Rule
2008-01-22 23:40:00 In part 2, we spoke about the power of referrals when prospecting for your business. In part 3, we are going to talk about the 3 foot rule. The 3 foot rule is a nickname for a prospecting strategy that many successful business builders in MLM employ. The rule is as follows:"Anyone that comes within 3 feet of me is going to hear about my company!"So basically with this philosophy, any person that you meet from the time you leave your house to the time you return home is a potential prospect for your business.Now the 3 foot rule causes a lot of controversy in the MLM industry. Many of your leaders will swear by it as a very effective way to build your business. However many of the network marketing trainers, particularly those that purport an internet strategy for building your business will tell you that the 3 foot rule is a waste of time and doesn't work anymore.Here's my opinion on the matter.The three foot rule works. There is no question about it in my mind that it works....
MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 2 - Endless Referrals
2008-01-21 20:40:00 In part 1, we talked about prospecting in your warm market. In Part 2, we are going to talk about prospecting with referrals. Not everyone in your warm market is going to be interested in your products, services and business opportunity. However, that certainly doesn't mean that they still can't help you build your business.Here's why...Just because they personally aren't interested in what you have to offer, that doesn't mean that they don't know someone who is interested in what you have to offer. This is where the power of referrals comes into play.Case in point.When I first got started in my network marketing business, I made a list of my warm market, everyone that I knew. One of the first people that I went to was my friend from college. My friend from college wasn't interested in either the services or the business opportunity. So I asked him if he could think of anyone that might be interested and he told me about a friend of his that he knew back from grade sch...
MLM Sales Prospecting Methods Part 1 - The Warm Market
2008-01-18 15:17:00 As a MLM professional, it is important that you familiarize yourself with as many MLM sales prospecting methods as possible, even if you personally are going to only focus on a few.Why?Remember, the big money in this industry isn't made based on what we do as far as our personal production goes. The big money is made by producing a team of leaders who are able to drive the production deep down through the organization without your personal involvement.I have seen many a distributor quit building their MLM business, not necessarily because they didn't have what it takes, but simply because they were only familiar with one or two methods of building their MLM business that they were not comfortable with.As a result, I think it's important that I take some time out to share with you some strategies for building your MLM sales organization from a recruiting prospective. By knowing of multiple ways to recruit and prospect, you will be able to save many distributors who would have o...

THE Key to Real Estate Success...Always be Prospecting!
2008-01-08 18:18:00 A majority of your time in this business will be spent prospecting...that is if your goal is to succeed. ABP (Always be Prospecting) It is the most basic, critical element of success. It is imperative you develop and follow a plan. Build your plan around annual, monthly, weekly and daily prospecting activities. Demand of yourself a weekly minimum number of prospecting contacts. If you are new to the real estate business, 90-95% of your time should be spent asking for business. Do not let pending contracts or any other activity take you out of the business of prospecting every day. Prioritize your prospects, track your results and maintain a simple follow up plan. No other task in the real estate business can be performed until you have a person who is ready, willing, and able to buy or sell. Regardless of what prospecting method you use, the goal is the same! The main objective is to establish rapport, put the client at ease, minimize their perception of the threat you...

2008-01-07 13:57:00 Most advertising and promotion is a waste of money.

To your prospect, this is a risky ordeal. They ...
Franchise Prospecting and How To Maximize Your ROI
2008-01-01 08:01:00 September 2007 Franchising WorldThere is a resurgence of trade shows and other events underway.By Jim Squire, CFETwenty years ago, when franchise lead generation was much simpler, trade shows were the lifeline of franchise development teams. As the primary, and often only, source of prospects, franchise companies flocked to franchise trade shows and expos across the country in droves?daring not skip a single one, or they might miss out on their only opportunity to meet prospects and make that critical franchise sale.When the Internet entered the picture and became mainstream in the 1990s, trade shows and expos experienced a steady decline. Leads from the Internet poured in from all directions, and franchise systems opted to invest resources in both building their own Web sites and optimizing their Web site?s performance, as well as paying for stand-alone presence on franchising portals, rather than traditional expos and trade shows. They felt their development teams? time and funds ...

Unique Cold Calling Technique Helps Increase Prospecting Success
2007-12-13 14:05:00 Successful sales racehorses understand that most prospects hate to receive traditional cold calls, and their first thought when they answer the phone is typically, “Oh no.

Is Prospecting Online Right For Me & My Organization?
2007-12-13 05:16:00 One of the most common questions that distributors ask when considering online prospecting for their direct sales or network marketing/MLM business is whether online prospecting is right for their business. This is a very valid question and a very wise question to consider because the bottom line is online prospecting is NOT right for everyone.When considering prospecting online for your business, please keep the following in mind:1. Prospecting online should never replace the system that you have been taught by your company or your upline. It should only be used to supplement that system. Under no circumstances should you use online prospecting exclusively to build your business or teach your team to do the same. Over 90% of the production done by my organization comes from following the strategies & techniques taught by my upline and my company.2. If you or your organization still have warm market prospects or referrals to keep you busy prospecting, you should continue t...
