Hi,


You may have already cancelled by the time you read this. But if
you are still in GDI you may not have realised this... There are
thousands of people all over the world making a profit from GDI.
They are living proof that it works.

This fact also applies to most other top rated team building
business opportunities.

That being the case, it stands to reason that it is not the
company, or the compensation plan, but you. You are doing
something wrong with how you are trying to promote GDI. Either
you are not doing enough, or you are promoting to the wrong
market, or both.

There are three markets.

1. Those people who want a domain name and hosting but only want
to "pay as you go", rather than paying a whole year, or two in
advance. Also they don't need all the bells and whistles such as
hosting their own wordpress blog, or hosting their own forum,
that some hosting services offer.

2. Those people who are looking for a way to make some extra
money.

3. Those people who want a mix of 1 and 2.

What you need to focus on is discovering where these prospects
are located and how you can get them to ask for more
information. I suggest you start looking in your own location.

Start distributing fliers and drop cards. Create some simple 3 x 5
postcards and place them in newsagents shop windows,
especially at newsagents that have bus stops outside their shops.

Leave dropcards at ATMs, in library books about
self-development.

There are all sorts of ways to generate inquiries for little or no
expense.

Just to recap; If others in GDI are making money then it's not
GDI that is at fault.

Therefore, for things to change you need to change the way
you are doing things.

Hi Stacy,

I appreciate your enthusiasm. Just keep doing what you are doing until you
discover a better way of doing it.

Just one minor point. Could you please use normal type, rather than all CAPS.
All CAPS is more difficult to read and in forum posts, is also indicating that you
are shouting or yelling or angry.

Hope this helps,

Gordon

The basic reason why many GDI members do not want to contact
local people (especially family and friends) is a lack of
confidence in their choice of opportunity.

If you are convinced that GDI really is the best business
opportunity, then why in heavens name, would you not wish to
share it with your family, friends and anyone who comes within 3
feet (1 metre for you metric heads) of you?

If you are not absolutely certain that GDI really is the best
business opportunity, you need to get convinced.

The other really important factor about building local groups is
that members can meet if they want to. Humans are social
creatures. For those that do want to meet, training,
presentation and recognition events form a very important "glue"
to keeping people in the business and feeling part of a team or
group. For those that don't like meetings (the minority), you
don't have to attend.

Hi Melissa,

I did actually post a thank you for displaying the domain name
registrations chart, but I my posts are still under mederation.
I rather think that the post ended up in the limitless ether.

Anyway, Thank you. Most re-assuring.

Gordon

I firmly believe in the "Monkey see, Monkey do!" philosophy.

I have moved across the oceans and live in a completely new
country, so I am a little short on warm list candidates. As a
result I am focusing on local newspaper linage ads in the
part-time general vacancies.

From the response, I look for people who are prepared to work
their warm market. I then work the 3 x 2 system. That means I
work their (call him Alfi) list until I have found 3 members for
Alfi.

Once I have found the first member (call them Barbara). Barbara
must be a person who is prepared to work their warm market. I
start working with that Barbara and help her find 3 people. In
the mean-time I am helping Alfi to get his remaining 2nd and 3rd
members.

It is Alfi's responsibility to use what has learnt from me, to
help his 2nd and any subsequent members to get 3 members each.

Working with Barbara, when we find Barbara's first member (call
him Charlie), I start working with Charlie to find his 3
members.

In this way I am driving the leg in depth. I continue to drive
the leg in depth until there are 3 times as many people being
sponsored into that leg each month, than I am personally able to
bring in, working at whatever level I happen to be at,
currently.

This is not the best way, for some to build their GDI group, but
it suits me.

I am not a salesman, marketer, or promoter. I have tried online
tactics that I have taken several years to learn, and I've had a
little success, here and there.

The problem is, that most of the people that I have introduced
have been completely clueless about Network Marketing online,
and what is worse, either they don't want to learn or it's going
to take years, as it did with me.

Most of you, of age 20+, know at least 150 people who, when you
called them, would recognize you immediately you mention your
name. That's 150 candidates that you don't have to advertise
for. How long would it take to make a list of their names and
telephone numbers - 2 hours - less?

Some people have mentioned not wanting to "pester" their family
and friends. Does asking them four questions constitute
"pestering"? I don't think so.

Here's two examples (FROG stands for a contact from Friends,
Relatives, Organizations, Geographical).

You: " Would you be interested in a way to make some extra money
without it interfering with what you currently do?
FROG: "No, thanks!"
You: "No problem - speak to you soon. Bye"
==========
OR

You: " Would you be interested in a way to make some extra money
without it interfering with you currently do?
FROG: "Could be. What is it?"
You: "Got a pen? Go and watch this 6 minute movie. Here's the
web site! Let's talk tomorrow."

When you follow up:

You: "Have you watched the movie?"
FROG: "Not yet."
You: "Watch it tonight and I'll call you tomorrow"

OR

You: "Have you watched the movie?"
FROG: "Yes!"
You: "Is it of interest to you?"


If they say they are not interested. Don't phone them again
except for non-business matters.

In my view, that's not "pestering"

I hope this helps,

Gordon

Most people have to pay to travel to and from work, and in a month it's
normally much more than $10.

All the best,

Gordon

Try it the other way around.

Redirect your hotel room budget to buying DVD presentations.

Place your advert in the local paper.

Send inquirers to watch the 6 minute animated presentation

Follow up 48 hours later by phone, to see if they want
more information. If they do, send them a DVD.

Follow up 24 hours later and ask them what they think. If
they haven't taken the 7 day trial, they may have extra questions, so invite
them to an "in-home business review" at your house. This will save you
travelling time and money.

At the "in-home business review", answer any questions and help them get
started, if they want to.

My better half and I have been using this method to build another business.
She is focused on that, but I have lost interest because they have radically
changed the plan. That is why I am focusing on GDI and I will be using the
system I've outlined.

There is only one problem with this plan and that is the cost of advertising.
Most people do not know how to advertise and promote effectively so it could
be an
unacceptable drain on their resources. You will get a very big attrition rate 

Because you are working local and thinking global, try and move to working
warm lists. I only advertsie when I personally need to start a new leg. In fact,
now I will only sponsor a person if they agree to write a list and work it with me.

This may seem harsh, but I know that any other way, my downline are at a very
much higher risk of failure.

By working their list WITH them, I help build their team and mine, without
wasting masses of time and money on cold marketing.

Here's something else. The oldest and the biggest (by far) Network
Marketing company in the world does not allow any advertising for
distributors. It's top distributors are earning between 1 million and
4 million dollars a month.

If that is true, and it is, then doesn't it stand to reason that their
tactics and strategies must be worth serious consideration?

Just because GDI is internet based, doesn't mean that you should
use only internet marketing.

Visit your local library and ask for the book, "How To Build A
Multi-Level Money Machine" by Randy Gage  ISBN 8186775-87-0
