Title: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: gdi on June 29, 2005, 01:47:39 PM
Please keep in touch with your Upline and Downline. Also, encourage them to 'get involved' at the Forum.

YOUR entire Upline is there to help guide you so you can help everyone in your downline.

Also, be sure to go to the Marketing & Training Boards and share your best tip or, one that is a 'stand-out' on your team.

Yes Chip!

Creating a "GDI Leadership Persona" can be one of the most effective ways to generate a strong team.
I have always appreciated your leadership work because you "Do It" not just talk.

One of the most rewarding things that GDI offers is the chance to meet, mingle, learn and develop yourself through the people you meet through the GDI experience.

When an upline or downline member contacts me, they instantly step up in my mind. It is the people that communicate/network and get to know each other, those people . . . Are the ones I contact whith breaking news, product releases etc.

As for leaders, they should make contact with their entire sales team. Even just to say hi and establish a brief one on one phone conversation. I know that it was the relationship that Bram and I established that brought me into GDI. If it were not fior that feeling of honesty and dedication, I would not have gotten near this business. It turned out my impression was right. Bram ended up being the head marketer working for the company.

Many of my members thank me for taking time to communicate and I thank them when I see new members take the bull by the horns and take a leadership role.

Communication. The bottom line.
Is that not the difference between failure and success in network marketing?

I do believe the have the bull by the horns there! I look forward to more of your posts. I think you have a lot of information that would help all of us in marketing GDI.
Thank You!

It seems like my upline can care less! >:(  I've sent all of them emails with no response! My goal is to be nothing like them...besides it looks like they all live at the same contact information...with minor email difference. Then MY sponsor gets kicked out...for spamming.  >:(

I have no upline support, sure glad I've go this forum! I've got plenty of ideas myself! Just wish I could help an active upline with their income, not a bunch of lazy, no contact, supportless "leaders".   :P

It stinks to help "lazy" people earn money when they don't do anything. According to the training book, it advises to help with the 1st 5 paid enrollies.  :(

By the way, is that training manuel up to date? The business card has changed... not to mention the printing company.  ???


Anyway... I'm not letting it bother me, just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone.

Be Patient, you reap what you soe!  ;D

Speaking of this, what DOES happen if your sponsor is removed or leaves? Are you moved up, bringing your org with you? Are you just orphaned? What?

Then MY sponsor gets kicked out...
I have no upline support,

I have no upline support,

"When someone in your downline fully completes the cancellation of their GDI account, their downline will now "roll up", and the empty position created by the person who cancelled will be filled by the next active member downline from them. Compression will happen in real-time as cancellation of an account is finalized."

That's too bad, but as you seem to realize, it's their loss, not yours. :)  I'm glad you're able to not be discouraged.  And from the small amount of contact I've had with you and seen of your posts here, I'm thinking you are standing pretty well on your own two feet. :)  I think one of the great things about the forum is that no one has to feel like they're alone, if they need help, or just want to exchange ideas.  I have been in several mlm businesses where I've felt literally hounded by the person over me, so what I have now is a nice balance, and being able to come here as a choice rather than a requirement of "you must attend this meeting on Tuesday, or we shall shun you from our clique" kind of attitue many marketing companies have is a great thing, too.

When you send a message to your downline through GDI, does your upline get a copy of it ?   If so, how far up does it go ?  I sent a message to my downline the other day, but the only response I got was from an upline sponsor about 4 or 5 levels up !


Title: Re: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: JNapier on September 13, 2005, 08:26:25 PM
Marie, I believe that the entire upline will also receive the email. Perhaps someone will correct me if I am wrong.  I have no ego to bruise!!

Wishing you much success!
All my best,

Chad,

I agree when you as a leader in GDI show your team how to by using simple affordable systems.

You not only help those who on your team need it but the bottom line create a winning attitude within your org.

Finally the work you do today is stepping stone for 2006.

See you at the top.

Title: Re: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: Joseph_Johnson on February 18, 2006, 09:09:21 PM
I think that's why it is very important to choose the right people for your downlines and not just any body
what's to just join.
Not to say that everyone is not welcome but you have to be careful of the team you pick cause it can either
hurt you or make you stronger and GDI.

It's also very important to make sure you train your downlines everything that you know so thart they can
duplicate as fast and as efficient as yourself. ;D

So make sure you ask them the four questions that Howard Martell described on the radio show.

Thanks,

Its all very well saying only invite the best to be in your downline if you have plenty of people to choose from, what about when we have no customers at all, ANYONE in our downline will do...

This GDI is not working as well as I expected so why restrict it in anyway?

Hello,

Joseph is absolutely correct.

If you had your pick of 20 negative people or 1 positive person, which would you pick?

That one positive person would make your team grow stronger than 20 or even 50 negative people. Who wants to spend their time on 20-50 negative people who aren't motivated or have the desire to rise to the top? They're wanting a quick fix and when it doesn't happen they become very upset, quit and move on to something else. How will you build a successful team with people like this? This is NOT what a work from home business is all about.

I am presently advertising on Traffic swarm as well as Google Adwords.  Is this good or do you have a better way of building downlines.

Any takers?

So far, I've been keeping to regular contact with a couple members of my upline.  They're doing what they can to help me succeed.  I don't have an existing downline yet, as I am still really new to this whole thing.  Once my downline gets started I want to be just as motivating to them as my upline has been to me.  We're all helping eachother succeed.  This is a ladder where we at the bottom are being pulled up from the top.  Keep motivating your downline, its a good way to get us to be better affiliates.

Any ideas on what to do about downline members who don't respond to emails?

One of my pet peeves has always been unsupportive sponsors and now I'm starting to feel the same way about unresponsive
downline members.  I think I would rather have a responsive member who's struggling over one who's doing well but choosees
to ignore me.

You can try giving them a call. Email them thats the only thing you can do. If they are active in the

I'm still trying to get a good start on building my list Still waiting for a response from my up-line and still trying to be the best that I can be to satisfy myself and then my family. I would love any helpful hints or ways of generating more people in my team. Thank You

Title: What to do with a dead upline?
Post by: Eva D on April 19, 2007, 07:38:54 AM
Hi, I am a new member. I signed up with GDI a few days ago. I followed GDI suggestions to get in touch with my upline to get off to a good start. So I worked my way up from one level to another, contacted all 5 members of my upline by email, but so far received NO reply from a single one of them. I am beginning to wonder if I even want to be in these people's downline. Certainly, they don't seem to care if I am in their downline.
My question is: is there any way to switch to a more active GDI upline? Or am I locked with these people?

Thanks for your input,

I have a few questions that I was hoping some of you expert could answer. If you have some time I would appreciate your input.

I assume some of you are in fact millionaires, I want to learn from the best so I direct my questions to you...

Is there a specific strategy to placing reps in my downline?
Is there a form of matrix that will generate the most money the fastest?
Did you build your 1st level 5 across or 10? Or is it really that important?
What kind of time frame am I looking at if I want to make $2500 per month in residual income?
Anyone out there get a check for $20,000 or more in one month?
After 5 levels, does my matrix fall apart or end? Do I have to keep recruiting in say four years from now?

I just want to hear from the pro's on these questions everyone. No Newbies, you and I are here to learn.

Thanks everyone,
Chase

In other words, out of 100 who sign up, how many are still in your downline six months later? A year later?   ???

That's a good question. I think you should take a 100 of your sign-ups and track them. Contact them every day and see if they need help with their business. Then continue to follow up with your support. Show them how to get the ball rolling by sharing with them your success. Then after six months, see how many are left.

Title: The Importance Of Communication
Post by: P De Thierrry on June 03, 2007, 11:32:22 PM
I'd like to point out the importance of communication with upline and downline, this is an encouragement to upline and downline members to get involved with helping new GDI members to get started on the right track, to many in this forum I have seen and also other GDI members I have come across, complain about not having that support from their upline.

To not have the support needed from a sponsor or upline willing to give that support, would make the newly recruited seem frustrated in getting the answers necessary to progress in their GDI business, and good on them for seeking out the knowledge if their upline cannot not give that to them. And Upline do we really know the importance of this?

GDI teaches us importance of duplication and asks us to please help our downline, I'm also blessed to have got a sponsor that has taught me as well the importance of it and how it's gonna benefit my business a long way into the future, we must teach our newly signed up ones the art of duplication and also the newly signed up ones must be humble enough to be taught this ever important building block "Duplication".

For me teaching my downline and any other member no matter who it is has become a passion and also a great way for me to learn about how to approach people and be ever on my guard for the next question a new prospect may have, I'm always learning all I need to know about GDI and I should be, how else am I gonna answer questions If I don't have the answer, never may that be or happen.

I shall become that leader to my downline and support them in anyway I can, never will you see a downline of mine ever asking for help in this forum, I think thats why none of them have joined, because I have fully equipped them in what they need to know about making their GDI business a success because I depend on them for my financial freedom.

One last thing to say to people that are not being supported by your upline, take the lead for your own GDI business, learn all you need to know about GDI and equip yourself for the work ahead and don't make the mistake of not giving the support your downline needs and see them one day in here asking for the same help you were asking for.

I wish you all success,

Patrick.

 


Title: Re: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: DPro on June 04, 2007, 11:11:34 AM
That's very good advise you are giving, Patrick :D
Since GDI is a network marketing business, the main focus is relationship building and leadership development.
You are absolutely right that we as members should take up the leadership role to guide our downlines instead of over dependent on our uplines

Why be upset over an unsupportive upline? If we could channel that energy to mentoring our downlines, we would be surprise how fast the business would grow.
I agree with Patrick 100% and want to do what he is doing -- be a leader to my downlines and teach them to be leaders too.


Title: Re: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: P De Thierrry on June 04, 2007, 09:33:41 PM
But in saying all that above, by no means do I condone using this forum for anyone who needs help in running their GDI business, this is the first place everyone should come to for advice and tips.

With the GDI forums alone you can gain that knowledge needed to be a successful leader all is required is a bit of time researching and reading all the excellent information provided here by other GDI members. Truly I say to you, a few weeks of reading tips and information in the GDI forums, the world becomes a less nasty place to market in, but becomes a fun playground, as those few weeks of reading was also creating in you the belief in the system, and also there is no way we can fail. Out of all my research I've done on GDI and the system they use, I've found only two ways we can fail the 1st Is if the whole internet collapses and 2nd if you don't advertise your links at all.

A Little Tip Remember to categorize your prospects, meaning if you got a response from a prospect asking for more information because of responding to an ad, put that persons name and e-mail in your address book, in a folder called "Ad Response" if you get a response from GDI that someone has just viewed the GDI movie, put their name and e-mail in your address book, in a folder called "Viewed Movie" and so forth, it helps to decide what kind of follow up e-mail to send them meaning eg: you wouldn't want to send the www.my.ws/USERID to someone who has already seen the movie, you can send them the personalized movie link http://webiste.ws/USERID/Fred&Flinstone if they want to watch it again , the www.my.ws/USERID you would want to send it to the person who responded to an ad you placed, so the person who has seen the movie you would want follow up e-mails pointing out the advantages of GDI and sending e-mails with links about the product, the rewards and bonuses links, testimonial links, as for the one responding to the ad, your trying to get them to watch the movie. So set up e-mails to tackle your categorized groups.

Also once one of your prospects who responded to an ad and has now watched the GDI 7 minute movie, you can now move that person to the "Viewed Movie" folder in your address book, also remember when following up on people who have seen the movie remember to always give them that chance to opt-out of any e-mails from you or GDI as set out by GDI on FAQ, and the link:

http://mail.gdi-invitation.ws/delete.cgi?email=EMAIL_ADDRESS_TO_REMOVE must be included in all correspondent e-mails between you and the prospect.

I wish you all success.

Post by: JoeF on June 18, 2007, 03:07:17 AM
I joined GDI because it was priced right at $10 a month and it looked simple. ;D

My upline encourages me to buy leads, autoresponders and other stuff that also costs me money. :-[

I tried that way and I don't like it. PERIOD! >:(

All that stuff just makes things too complicated. I'm sure this works for them but I found a better way.

You have to position yourself as a leader, you must have a solution to your prospects problem. If you are able to put it out there on the net that your the man or woman, then people will find you. Basic law of attraction.

Stop pursueing and be pursued.

Did you know that myspace has over 100 million users and is growing at almost a quarter million new users a day?

This forum is only 45,000 people.

Birds of a feather flock together!

We in GDI must stick together. We are one. We can make a bigger impact if we join forces and make our presence known. Forget about upline, downline or even sideline. We are on the same team. Your success is our success. We need more success stories to break down peoples fear in this business.

We need a plan to take advantage of where the online trends are going.

I just started a blog (just click on the website icon in my profile). I plan on sharing my ideas on tapping into new web 2.0 technologies to help generate free leads online that are coming to us for a change.

Is it possible to communicate with people from the same country with me in our own language to make the things more understandble for them? That way I can follow the communication boards just like this forum and get back to my downline with valuable information.

Good luck you all...

If I had the answer to that question...I'd be a Billionaire.  I have no earthly idea why sponsors do not reply or respond.  For some reason people just do not respond.  However, that goes both ways.  Personally I have team members that have never answered or returned a phone call nor have they replied to an email that I've sent.  You just move on and work with those whom are coachable.

My suggestion to you is to spend time here on the forum, conduct searches and you will find the answers to your questions.  Now as you begin to succeed, just remember how it was for you and do not repeat the cycle.  Teach your team members to be responsive to their team and that is the basis of a good and solid foundation.

Title: Re: What to do with a dead upline?
Post by: M Khan on September 10, 2007, 09:38:29 AM
Hi, I am a new member. I signed up with GDI a few days ago. I followed GDI suggestions to get in touch with my upline to get off to a good start. So I worked my way up from one level to another, contacted all 5 members of my upline by email, but so far received NO reply from a single one of them. I am beginning to wonder if I even want to be in these people's downline. Certainly, they don't seem to care if I am in their downline.
My question is: is there any way to switch to a more active GDI upline? Or am I locked with these people?

Thanks for your input,
Eva D >:(
Hello Eva,
I feel very sad that you have got a dead upline.
You can ask any help from me if you need although I am not in your upline but I will help you.

I Have to say that I have a very good upline. Helped me out alot in the beginning. Now if I have a question I just email him and very quickly I get a response. I fell bad for those who don't have this support. But the forums here are very good and great people!
I find with my downline , I have been in GDI for almost a month and  my team is quite small still at 6 people, but they are growing . one of them signed someone up on the same day she signed on  :) and today she got her second. and another just got her first after her first week. I immediately email them with congratulations!
I have all the emails of my downline and email them off and on with ideas to help their business grow. and see how they are doing.
I help them  learn about members area. What is available to them.
I am building friendships with wonderful people.

I love GDI!

I think I can speak for most of the people that visit these forums regularily that we are here to help everyone whether you are in our personal downline or not.  It is unfortunate that some of our uplines don't value their members enough to make contact.  Try not to get discouraged.  Instead, use this information to change how you will interact with your downline.  Make the decision to become a success with or without your upline support.  Your efforts will pay off.

I Believe that if you have an upline that doesn't reply to your request for help or advise

that you will be the first one that will.. You will be the first leader and mentor for your downline..

Just because your upline doesn't reply doesn't mean you can't still be successful..

Don't give up.... Believe in GDI .... Believe in yourself

Retention is always a big challenge in any MLM business.
I believe this is because many people have been given a wrong impression that once they join,
they can do nothing and make a lot of money.

Let your new downline know what they need to do from day 1.
If uplines express their expectations and layout step by step action for business building, I believe retention rate will improve.

Hi Guys,

For sample emails and scripts feel free to use those that I have posted on my training site www.wealth411.ws (http://www.wealth411.ws).

I think you will find a nice variety to get you started.  You will also find on my resources page a Letter Program that has 40+ letters for any business. They will need to be personalized but with a little work you can make them fit our business model easily.

Go to www.wealth411.ws (http://www.wealth411.ws) and enjoy the material.

Contact your whole downline. The ones who
are willing to work will contact you and they
will be happy to receive a help from their
sponsor. Don't pay attention to ones
who don't respond.There will be always
people who think it is enough to sign up
and hope to get rich by doing nothing.
We don't need them. We are after serious
business builders who understand that in order
to build a business they have to work on it.

Hi

I must say that my upline is not dead it is EXTINCT. I have been a member now for 8 months have advertised the beejeezes out of this program from ppc to safelists to traffic exchanges to listbuilders, classified ads it has cost me over $2000 and I have not got one sign up! I consider myself to be a reasonable writer, I am not pushy nor overbearing. I have had sign ups but when they do (sign up) they do not respond to my offers of support and generally quit before seven days or if they hang on past the trial they quit before 2 months.

My upline has contacted me once in the whole 8 months, that is out of 5 of them, one received contact! I see some of them in the leader boards consistently but they seem to have nothing to share, they do not answer emails. I wish I could change sponsors but cannot as I have put too much work in my site and have optimized my domain names now so I do not want to lose them, they are too valuable for me in promoting programs other than GDI (ones that ARE working for me).

GDI is a good product this is why I am still here, the product itself offers such good value, it is just a mighty shame that I seem to be caught blind on the business opportunity here as now my leg of the business seems to be dead. I need water but there is none forthcoming.

In spite of all this I remain steadfast and optimistic I will not let up nor give in. The strength of the product allows me this and I believe in this company strongly.

Cheers
Marty

I think people look at the $10 that they have to put in say that it's taking so long to make back a profit. I really have to encourage people to hold on and make the business work for them. With any business, you have to put in long hours, hard work, dedication, persistence, etc. It just that you need to put all those ingredients together to make your business work for you. You have to look at the short range or long range goals. You have to look at what you really want out of life, and put everything you have into this business to make it work for you. I had to spend about $3000 in my first month just to get this business moving. Classifieds, business cards, traffic exchanges, advertising here and there, and what do you know? I make less than $40 a month, and I feel good about that. But you can't stop there. Tell people about it by word of month. That still works today. People need their own business to get into, and the internet is the way to go right now. Sooner or later, somebody will need their own domain name to operate their business, and the internet is the next best thing to a business card. So I encourage you people to keep on keeping on. GDI is the way to go.

I was reading your advice here that was dated, June 18, 2007.  I must say, your words encouraged me to go check out your site.  All I can say is AWESOME!!!!  I'm going to follow your lead with my site. 
I just joined a lastnight, and can't seem to put this forum down!  I would have been talking to my upline all night, but knowing he ws probably asleep...I just started digging around on the GDI site.  I ran across the forum and it has been answering all of my questions.
Upon talking with my upline this morning, he informed me he wasn't even aware of the forum.  So, we are learning together.
Anyway, Thank you for your help.  I'm sure I will be visiting your site often.

Success be OURS!

If you left GDI for a year, then your downline would be where it was before providing they are still members.

What surprises me is if you had a downline before, why would you have ever quit?

Imagine how much growth you may have experienced to your team over the year you lost.

Longevity your best asset in any Networking Opportunity. Longevity is where the money is.


Title: Downlines in one line!
Post by: B_Jelacin on April 27, 2008, 08:32:34 AM
Hello!

I am new in the business and don't know how much down-lines you can have in one line or in first line for example? According calculations with revenue calculator a member can have 10 sign-ups in first line and 5 down-line steps. Bud I don't know if that limit is only shown by calculator or it is a real limit for pay-out calculation?

Examples:

1. - The first level down-line: 5 sign ups
    - 2nd level down-line:       1 sign up
    - 3th level down-line:        1 sign up
    - 4th level down-line:        1 sign up
    - 5th level down-line:        1 sign up
    - 6th level down-line:        1 sign up
    - 7th level down-line:       10 sign ups + each of them 5 or more and after 7th level business is expanding as fast as possible

    1. How to calculate the income? Do you still get 1$ from every down-line sign up after the 6th level?

    2. What happens if a member in 6th level (or 2nd, 3th, 4th, 5th level) signs out? Does the system corrects then the empty place   
        between 5th and 7th level and put the person from 7th level after the 5th. And then the person in 5th level becomes referral
        from person who was before taking place in 7th level.

I hope that it was enough clear to understand...?

Thanks,

Brane








Title: Re: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: DPro on July 20, 2008, 01:14:07 AM
Hi Brane,

From my what I understand, you will get paid from everyone who are in your level 1, 2,3,4 and 5.
You won't be paid for 6th level sign ups and beyond, unless you have achieved the master affiliate status

Quote
Infinity bonus overide (quote for GDI website):

To earn 10% of revenues generated on your levels 6 through infinity, you must earn our "INFINTY OVERRIDE" bonus by referring AND maintaining at least 10 active accounts on your front line. In addition, at least 10 of those front line affiliates must maintain at least 10 active affiliates each on THEIR front lines (100 active affiliates on your second level, who are referred by your frontline 10), and you'll need to have at least 5,000 active accounts in your entire 5 level organization.
This will achieve the INFINITY OVERRIDE and you'll qualify to earn a 10% "unlimited levels" override, which pays down to the next qualifying "Infinity Override" on any given leg.

If someone in between level drops out, the system is suppose to correct the empty space by compression.
But I think this takes some time for it to activate in case the person re-joins.
I haven't experienced the compression in my team,  so far I see the cancelled downline still in the system - so I am not sure about that too.

 I would like it to be made mandatory for downliners to respond to upline emails.The upliners have come in for a lot of flack in the past re ignoring their downline and looking after themselves. ::)

 I used to think that was really bad form. Until I had started sending emails to downliners who do not respond to me either on purpose or because they are just too importantly busy  to either answer or  white list me with their spam filters  for instance.
                           
I prefer to think they are just careless and not just lacking in manners.It takes two to tango and a good team must co operate and teamwork is very important in this business.All for one and one for all  ;)

BIG PS HERE : In my humble opinion the biggest failure here on GDI is to give upline  no dignity or authority whatsoever over their downline as long as this big egalitarian democratic mind set exists :We end up with  too many chiefs and not enough indians.

All for one and one for all.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately marketing GDI is very competitive online.

What would an all for one and one for all recruiting strategy look like?

EVERYONE, just look at the number of GDI affiliates regestered to this forum.

If we all worked together we could own the internet with a real plan thats fair and free for all.

Google - power5plan - and tell me what you think.

Share this info with your upline and downline to get more affiliates involved and increase our YouTube voting power!

It seems like my upline can care less! >:(  I've sent all of them emails with no response! My goal is to be nothing like them...besides it looks like they all live at the same contact information...with minor email difference. Then MY sponsor gets kicked out...for spamming.  >:(

I have no upline support, sure glad I've go this forum! I've got plenty of ideas myself! Just wish I could help an active upline with their income, not a bunch of lazy, no contact, supportless "leaders".   :P

It stinks to help "lazy" people earn money when they don't do anything. According to the training book, it advises to help with the 1st 5 paid enrollies.  :(

By the way, is that training manuel up to date? The business card has changed... not to mention the printing company.  ???


Anyway... I'm not letting it bother me, just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone.

Be Patient, you reap what you soe!  ;D

Sigh. I experienced the same thing too. I sent emails asking for help and I get autoresponded emails in return.  It makes me sad that i have to make things on my own. It confuses me alot! there so many links and instructions and my uplines are recruiting to sign-up to another MLM. It gives me headaches.

im still on my trial period. Somehow, this makes me think of quiting.. BUT I SAID NO TO MYSELF. Thinking of it, IF OTHERS CAN, I WILL TOO! NO MATTER WHAT!

i joined 2009, some of the posts here dated from 2005. These people came a long way.. i will too!

Hi Fellow GDI Team Members,

I had been in GDI for almost 2 months now and yes its very motivating and very refreshing to see all the replies and greeting from everyone around the world.
However I am having a bit of misfortune as I am heading no where.
My up line promised to literally give us 5 free sign ups once I am signed in and not even a single word from my up lines on that matter.
And I am not in the rush to get any of the free sign ups myself, I am ready to gear up to win my own sign ups but I am not getting any sort of help or response from my up-lines. I need some advise and help of this.

Can I choose to change my up line from one team to another? Its really useless to be in this team and I dont think the current team can help me out to reach out for potential prospect. Please do advice. Thank you.

Regards
Chandra

Hello,

Regards,

Lee

You lead by example and they followed you? That is the only way you have no downline. That is to be expected. You have to communicate and be active with down and upline members. There is no other way. Get their real communication links, phones. Skype and other platforms.

I make it a point to always communicate twice a week. Then one meeting with all at a free location that host unlimited video sign-in people. We have fun and learn how to increase a members business with growth. Leaving no one behind. That is how we get things done.

We have offered to help every member withing GDI and must tell you. Most are not making a step in growing there business. The rate of sign-ups have been so low and not worth talking about. People globally are hurting that they can not afford even $10.00 per month. That can feed some families for a week. Think about how bad the are off. It makes you want to do more if they would respond.

Well, people will jump and make a move when the hit bottom. We will still be here to help. Stay positive and get out and make things happen. Stop with all this self-pity stuff. I believe in everyone who had the guts to join GDI. Now, only if they would believe in their self.

Below you will find a conversation that helped allot of people within this forum. I will return with it.


Title: Re: UP & DOWN the LINE!
Post by: WilliamAmis on September 13, 2011, 08:34:57 AM
Here it is. This is helpful and I would love to read the replies. Really this will help you.

I am going to give this away for free. This is the correct way to create something right the first time. By the way, GDI requires no selling at all. Your focus should be on getting people to watch a movie. That is it. GDI pays us to do just this. Make sure it is ethical and do not tell of anything. Let the movie to it's purpose. By you telling anyone and everyone all their questions will be answered when they watch the movie. There is no selling needed. If you must speak on something make sure it's the follow-up and then only speak on how you will support their business and personal growth. No one is left alone. It's only about them and that is your teams only focus, them. You place yourself out of the equation. There success as they determined is the end result. Now, below is how to duplicate the process. This is being given free. People join people and not products or services. If your supportive persistent and reachable. That is what building that relationship bonded on trust is all about. People will purchase a roll of toilet paper for $10.00 if the like and trust you. Tell people what you will do for them and give them examples of support. You be the go to person who gets things done. Brand yourself and not products or companies. This is what keeps members growing and you business alive. This is a lifetime journey not a race. It will become a lifestyle for you as it has for many of us. Help enough people on a daily basis with an attitude of gratitude. That is all it takes to only do what makes you happy everyday and get paid to do it. Hey, if men can get paid to play a child's game(Baseball) why can't you get paid to do what you love and enjoy? If one can do it, why not you?

The Ultimate Team Existence

We loose focus on well, what is the product. I believe your the real product. You build your name to a level of greatness. One such as with character, and thus, respect.

Your the product, and what ever venue you choose to accept, as one of the many projects, to generate unlimited revenue. To coach, mentor and empower others, to achieve their success as they determined. Can be established with any company. The business system that each company has works, with the right supportive team of dedicated hungry people. Each being responsible for one or more weekly tasked to grow the team larger. To train all members. To motivate with webinars. To call and utilize other means of communication at least twice a week. To empower those team members, who have not reached the higher level of confidence as leaders, coaches, mentors in our industry. Those who have reached these levels start to duplicate the working process of evaluating more projects to add to the team, another source of revenue. Then just duplicate the same actions as complete with the first company.

This is how it is done correctly. Keeping every team member achieving each goal and taking on the responsibility as the original members. Each project has new members of the team taking one or two supportive roles. More member will able the team to add another project without original member over worked, and stressed. Thus, keeping it real with having a home base business, with multiple generated revenue. Plus, each member works less and have more time to share with loves and travel. Then start telling their stories globally adding more new members to the team, from all parts of the world. This is how to establish the “Ultimate Team Existence” worldwide.

We who have accomplished understanding being great coaches, mentors, leaders and visionaries. Have the obligation to ask each person who we recruit, if they have complete due diligence on us, our team and the company. You have nothing to worry about being ethical in all your actions. Your accepting to support, motivate and empower people who are giving their trust in you. Your responsible to their success as they determined, and the health and welfare of their loved ones. This is imperative, to the overall success of the team that you are developing. This is true character. It will be reflected by each team member.

You lead by example. You live the passion for supporting others without expecting anything. Then all things will be possible. There will not be any limitation as you believed, based on prior institution education. Now, having before you , conscious of the truth. Your leadership will be duplicated within people who believe, not only in you. Yet, in the vision that you have planted the seed in their minds. 

Now, you have the hole truth and system that works with all businesses and all teams. This is a real usable blue print for success, as you determined. This is the blue for achieving success, as each member determined themselves. It really works.

The how’s, do not matter, with driven passionate, hungry, supportive, loving and giving people. This is the formula to build real relationships, of people to be included, in your lifetime team. Remember, this is a journey and not a race. These people are going to be around your loves, and develop into powerful friends. You will be traveling around the globe, with these people. So, create your team with the right mix, of dedicated  passionate, ethical,  positive people. It just works!
