Hello everyone in GDI,

I wanted to share with you some keys to running a successful business which doesn't cost anything except your time and planning.

1. When your first in business do you remember the excitement you had the first 72 hours?
 Well bottle that up and provide that type of excitement each time you talk to a prospect.
2. Don't sell the opportunity first add value to the prospect get to know them the first time and their wants and needs.
3. Its not about who we know its about who are team knows.
4. Qualify people for your time provide them something in return and educational newsletter and provide some information about what you do.
5. Offer tools and proven techniques which could fit into your prospects agenda.
6. Be open listen to what the prospect has to say and make sure to repeat back.

The key to having a successful home business is to show people you truly care and are willing to work with them if there is a fit.

Not everyone can have a home business and I commend you on choosing GDI.

If YOU were your prospect, what would YOU want?
I know what I’d want.


1. When you talked with me, I’d want you to LISTEN first and foremost,
to find out what I really want. I’d need to feel you and I were simpatico.
This is where you must kick butt. Start your relationship-building immediately.
TELL me what you’re doing and WHY you’re doing it, and let me know that part
of your system is to help me build those key relationships.
I want to believe you consider MY success crucial to your life.
Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever. A big part of that was,
he just plain WANTED to win more than the other guys.
You ever watch Jordan the last few minutes of a close game – ANY clclose
game? He CHANGED!! He’d psyche himself into a zone where he couldvirtually do no wrong. He had total disdain for whomever he was playing.
He didn’t just want to beat them. He wanted to EMBARRASS them!
He’d focus on his skills and become a human winning machine.
YOU need the same focus when you talk to your prospect. The ONLY thing that
matters is what your prospect thinks, wants, wishes for, desires and needs.
If I’m your prospect, YOUR entire universe better revolve around me when we
talk. What YOU want doesn’t even exist, as far as I’m concerned. And it shouldn’t
exist for you, either … not when you’re talking to me.
THEN you and I will have an identical viewpoint!


2. I would want you to make a very clear, short, compelling case –
based on what I’ve told you – as to why YOUR opportunity is better for
me than all the competition.
I’d expect you to be able to answer every marketing question I have.
Don’t tap dance around what you don’t know. Know your company resources
well enough to get me to the exact right source (hotlines, web pages, brochures,
etc.) to answer any questions you can’t answer.


3. I would want a simple marketing system that’s inviting, informative,
non-threatening, educational, & fun.
The more complex it is, the less chance I’ll be able to execute. You are in a cutthroat
contest for my time and attention. One of your key weapons in this battle
is simplicity. Making the complex clear is hard work. Few people do it well.
If you can give me all the information I need, clear & organized so I can make a
quick choice, your chances skyrocket.
Plus – it helps YOU work smarter.
A System That Works
Again … you need to do lead generation, prospect follow-up, sponsoring and
training. If you can do them all with one system, so much the better. If your
company or group does not provide systems to accomplish these actions, you
will absolutely have to set them up yourself. It’s a lot easier to go someplace
where they’re already established.
You can have a lead generation system that brings ONLY
the most qualified people into your group. Then I’ll train
them FREE, 5 nights a week, to build relationships and become
Top Sponsors who will build YOU a lifetime residual
income!
How does this work?


1. Get visitors to your website (see step 2 for your website).
There are a ton of ways to get visitors to your site. If you can’t spend money on
traffic generation, that’s OK. Many effective traffic generation methods are free.
And even if you can afford to buy all the traffic you’ll ever need, many of your
reps won’t be able to. So you are best to start NOW learning how to generate
traffic at zero or very low cost. There’s a good tutorial, listing several traffic generators,
giving you exact steps to get started.

A lot of people ask "what is it that I should look for in a network marketing company?". It's a question a lot of new comers ask because of many reasons, skeptical, tricked/scammed in other deals, curious, looking for the right company etc...

When I was approached with an opportunity when I was 18yrs old I was skeptical, scared and also curious. After being around in the industry here are some things I learned to look for when choosing an MLM Program that may be helpful for you.

When trying to evaluate which Network Marketing or MLM Program you should join, you need to look at several universal factors:

1) How Long Have they been in Business?

2)How Good are the Companies Products?

3) Are They Certified by the Better Business Bureau?

4) How Competent is your Upline/Coach to Properly Train You?

5) Is the Company You want to Join currently having any Legal Issues?

6) Do they allow On-Line Advertising?

7) Is the vechile going to get you to where you want to go in life?

Cool Do they offer Yearly Conventions, Training Calls or Special Training Events?

9) Can you contact the Owners OR top producers in the program.

10) How much effort (work) will you put fourth in YOUR business?

There are hundreds of great, honest MLM and Network Marketing companies out there to promote that will be happy to pay you a residual income check for the rest of your life for work you put in today.

The only real problem when researching the appropriate Network Marketing or MLM for you in the end boils down to HOW YOU FEEL.

For example, some women can easily make thousands a month in Avon, but a young single male just starting in MLM and Network Marketing might prefer a Health & Wellness company.

Bottom line!!! When you join the Network Marketing or MLM company of YOUR CHOICE that you follow basic Due Diligence rules to make sure that the MLM or Network Marketing company you join is financially sound, offers great support, offers great products and will be there to train you when you're ready.

Your Partner In Success,

As Denis Waitley puts it, we are all born winners and then trained to fail. If you want to break that chain, you'll need to train yourself for success. Why would you want to do this instead of staying in your nice cozy comfort zone? How about, more money, better relationships, more friendships, better health, more fun! Here are the steps you'll need to take to train yourself for success:

1. Prepare Your Mind for Success - your mind is like a garden. You can either grow beautiful flowers or weeds. Either will grow just fine. If you prepare your mind, plant good seed, fertilize and water, weed your garden regularly, and then harvest at the right time. Whatever goes into your mind will dictate what comes back out.

An old biblical principle that has been used in the business world for years is, as a man thinketh, so is he. What this means is that you will become what you think about most. If you think you are fat, you will get fatter in order to fulfill the picture in your mind. If you see yourself as a financial failure, you're mind will continue to recreate that picture in your life.

So, what you are going to need to do first is to quit putting garbage into your mind - newspapers, radio, television, trashy books and movies, etc. You're mind stores it all and it affects your ability to succeed.
Instead start putting good stuff in - motivational and inspirational books and tapes, classes at the local community college, seminars, teleconferences, bible studies, church, etc. If you put good stuff in, you'll get good thoughts back out.

Next, you need to change your mental picture. Take a piece of paper and describe in detail your perfect life. When you are finished, read the description out loud and picture it in your mind. Feel the emotions of excitement, fulfillment, accomplishment, and so on. Now, when you start each new day, read your life description, so that your mind can work that day to move you closer to fulfillment of that mental picture. Take a little time each day to close your eyes and visualize your perfect life. By doing this you make it reality in your mind. It has been proven through many scientific studies that the mind cannot tell the difference between reality and a vivid mental picture.

By preparing your mind for success, you are about 90% there. As, Napoleon Hill wrote in his epic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." A properly prepared mind will enable you to focus on your business, family, health, spiritual life, with incredible clarity. You'll be amazed at what happens.

2. Prepare Your Body for Success - success takes time, energy, and brainpower. It's not going to be possible if you are tired and worn down. Make sure that you are eating a healthy diet, exercising daily, and taking good nutritional products. It's time to develop a lean, mean fat burning success machine, so that you can live a long and productive life.

3. Prepare Your Business for Success - make sure that you have received the training that you need in order to succeed. Know what to say or ask in order to get someone interested in your business. Be capable of handling the basic objections - network marketing, time, money, sales, etc. Learn how to answer common questions about your company, the products or services, compensation plan, getting started, etc. You should have in place a system that generates leads on a weekly basis. Develop a list of at least 100 people you know and be contacting them regularly via phone, mail, e-mail, fax, and in-person. Arrange to do a 3-way call with both your upline and downline. Learn how to train a new downline distributor. Discover the differences between a legal network marketing (or
multi-level) company and an illegal pyramid. Develop a strong enough belief system in your company and it's products or services that people who say negative things about your business, won't bother you. Learn to give a presentation to one person or a large group.
If you don’t know can't do these things, you need to immediately contact your upline leaders and have them coach you.

Next, you need to have the tools necessary to succeed. You will need a telephone with a flash key, 3-way calling and call waiting on the phone, if you have a family (particularly teenagers) you should have a separate line put in for your business, voice mail or answering machine, company voice mail (if available), Internet access, company literature and marketing materials. If you are part-time (under 20 hours a week), you should have enough supplies on hand to hand-out or mail at least 20 new information packets per month. Keep a small portable filing system in your car, filled with marketing materials; so that when you encounter a great prospect, you'll have what you need.

Every day treat your business like it was a multi-million dollar company. Set up a work schedule at the beginning of each week and stick to it every day. Consistency is one of the major keys to success in network marketing. Treat your business like a BIG BUSINESS and it will eventually pay you like a big business. Treat it like a hobby and it will pay you like a hobby. It's your choice.

Work through fear. When you run up against fear - making those initial contacts, follow-up calls, and public presentations - run through the fear. As Nike says, Just Do It! and the fear will go away. The more you do what you fear, the more fearless you become. Soon, nothing will get the way of your success.

Prepare, Prepare, Prepare - your mind, body, and business. The better you prepare, the greater the success. The quicker you get started with the preparation and resulting action, the quicker you will start seeing the success you seek - checks, bigger checks, pin levels, awards, and rewards.

What I'd like to ask everyone is, "What specific questions do you think would be best for this type of interview?"

My outline so far is:

1. Introduction

2. Tell me a little about your background

3. So, tell me...how did you end up joining this company?

4. What specific techniques and tools have you found to be the most effective in growing your business?

5. What specific support and additional training do you offer to those in your downline?

6. What are the biggest mistakes that you see new distributors doing?


So that's what I have so far. My main concern is that my sponsor, who is actually a 6 figure earner, did not build his business through the attraction marketing model.

So, if anyone has insight on what other questions I should ask or how to address old school business building advice that may come about in the interviews, I would definitely appreciate it!

Almost everybody in MLM knows the feeling of being avoided and/or rejected by friends & family. When you recruit friends and family, three things can happen … and two of them are bad:

1. They are successful in your business and your relationship strengthens.

2. They reject your idea and don’t want to join your business, and they’re annoyed at you for what they might see as trying to take advantage of them. This leads to tension at future family gatherings.

3. They do join you, and they fail. Result? See #2 above.

And then there’s another problem that often comes up. When you share your dream with people you care about, they often are sizing you up based on past experience. They’ve known you a long time. Maybe they’re jealous. Maybe your past success annoys them. Maybe your past failure helps them feel superior to you. Maybe they really don’t want to see you be successful.

Total strangers, on the other hand, have no bias. It’s a new relationship, and they often become your biggest fans. Unlike friends & family, their impression isn’t formed by what they know about you (or think they know).

None of us is perfect. We all have weaknesses. The idea is to succeed despite your limitations … and along the way, work at eliminating those weaknesses. To succeed, you will need others to follow your lead. It may well be easier for people who don’t know you to believe in you than it is for people who do know you.

And for sure, you don’t want to put yourself in a situation where you’re trying to lead people who’ve already decided they don’t believe in you.

Just one more reason why - for most people - it’s best to avoid recruiting friends and family until you already have built a successful business. THEN, if their perceptions of you are positive, invite them into your business

But strangers have no reason to trust you, either. You have to build a
relationship first and that can take weeks, months, even years. Especially on
the internet.

What supports this is that 71% of customers do their research on-line and
then go to their local store to make the purchase.

My daughters have just offered to fund a new laptop for my birthday. What
have I done? I've researched suitable laptops on the internet and I shall be
calling at the local store to make my purchase.

Why? Because I know the stores in my area and I trust them more than
those that "direct-response" (mail-order) market on the internet.

That's why many of the very successful network marketers say that "cold
marketing" should only be used as a supplement to "warm market"; never
the other way around.

Cheers,

Gordon

his is a very brief introduction to keyword research and how it relates to Internet marketing.

First a couple of concepts that are important…

What is a “market”?

    * A segment of the population that have a common need or desire.
    * … That have the wherewithal to buy.
    * … Are motivated to acquire a commodity or service that meets their need or desire.

Often people like to define segments in terms of niches. A niche is effectively a segment of a market. For example:

    * Market: People interested in earning extra money
    * Mega Niche: People interested in a home business
    * Niche: People interested in network marketing
    * Micro Niche: People interested in GDI

The premise is, on the Internet, market and keyword research are synonymous.

This is because on the Internet, people with common need or desire, can be defined by the keywords that are commonly and regularly used by people within that market.

What’s so wonderful about the Internet is that you can actually target people that have a specific need by focusing on the keywords that they tend to enter to find that need. In the offline world, it is much harder to target a specific market and may have to look at specific things like buying habits, salary, age, or location.

Not all keywords are equal though. Some keywords have a lot more traffic than others, or they may have more competing web pages. With the keyword “home business,” there are millions of pages online about it while for “global domains international,” there are much fewer pages.

As an Internet marketer, you are interested in finding keywords that have a commercial value. If you have a group people with common need or desire and they are looking to buy something, probably they are going to use certain keywords. That’s going to be an indication about what they are interested in buying.

Some people who search for free content and use the word “free” as a modifier in their keyword search may be less interested to buy something.

Your goal is to find the keywords that are used by a large enough group of people who are willing to buy a product – that relates to the keywords / market being searched for – and for which there is an acceptable level of web page competition.

In the past, the process to find keywords with sufficient traffic and appropriate competing pages was more like a hit-and-miss affair. It was also definitely a manual process. You had to go and do a lot of manual searches to find it.

Now, there is a tool called Market Samurai that lets you easily do this kind of assessment, drilling down to find those keywords. If you are wanting to do social marketing, pay per click, or search engine optimization (SEO), Market Samurai opens the possibilities which literally have never ever been available before.

Practically in minutes, you can preform complex data analysis, needed for market research, and discover what keyword phrases have good market potential. I researched dozens of phrases I wanted to target and was able to easily prioritize them in order of traffic, profit potential and competitiveness.

No/Low Cost Recruiting Strategies

 

To begin Prospecting, you need to have people to talk to.

 

There are many ways to find prospects and your choice of "how" you find them depends on your budget, skill set, and motivation. In this article, I want to cover some low cost ways to find leads. People who get into your business don't always have a lot of money to advertise their business or to buy leads... and they can still be successful. Use creativity, use free tools, and begin to think outside the box.

You can Exchange Capital Equity for Sweat Equity and still be successful.

It may take a little longer but that is OK. You have to start somewhere. Once you start making money you can start advertising.

When you don't have a lot of money to buy leads... go after the people you already know - CLICK HERE

When you don't have a lot of money... go after people who do - CLICK HERE

When you don't have a lot of money... USE FREE TOOLS



A Simple System for building your business

   1. Get some business cards, Hot Cards, and brochures. If you have a favorite local printer then have them create a card for you. It doesn't matter where you order....just order some.

      Important: Use your personal domain name on all information. One website, one simple system.

   2. Gather all the mailing addresses and email addresses of people you know the people in your "Warm Market." These are family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and people you've had personal contact with. Build a long list of 250 people and get every email address that you can. You might want to store this data in a software program such as ACT! or Goldmine.

      Picture in your mind the ideal prospect for your business:
          * They want to improve themselves in all areas of life, but they don't have the tools.
          * They would love to help their friends improve in all areas of life, but they don't know how.
          * They are already plugged into the Internet.
          * They love the idea of being financially rewarded for simply helping others.

      How many people do you know who qualify as a prospect?

      Do not censor yourself in making your list of "warm market" prospects. List everyone who comes to mind. Don't prejudge. Don't eliminate a person because he is too busy or because he doesn't appear to be "the type." Just give people a chance to discover a home business with your help, then allow them to make a decision for themselves. Remember: You never know who your "stars" are going to be. It's exciting to know that your brightest star may be the very next person you enroll.

          * Immediate family
          * Extended family
          * In-laws
          * Neighbors
          * Close friends
          * Co-workers
          * Member of your social groups (PTA, Fraternity, Sorority, Bowling Team, Church, etc.)
          * Professional relationships

      Important: The list should NEVER exceed 250. As a better prospect is thought of or emerges, add them to the list by removing someone you feel is a less fit.

      Here are some more mind joggers...

          * Accountant
          * Landscapers
          * Dentist
          * Gas Station Worker
          * Chemlawn
          * Interior Decorator
          * Mail Delivery
          * Tenants Little
          * League Coaches
          * Barber
          * Daycare Provider
          * Gardener
          * Insurance Provider
          * Loan Officer
          * Pet Groomer
          * Teacher
          * Attorney
          * Contractor
          * Exercise Instructor
          * Hairdresser
          * Librarian
          * Stock Broker
          * Cable Repair
          * Clients
          * Doctors
          * Grocer
          * Landlord
          * Mechanic
          * Sales People
          * Vet

   3. Once you have your list started (don't wait until you have all 250 people on your list), spend 15 minutes per day and mail a business card in an envelope to FIVE people per day. Be sure to hand write the address on the envelope.
          * After you have mailed a business card to everyone on the list (6 to 8 weeks) repeat the 3 step cycle using the HotCards. (Important: use the same list of people.)
          * In 6 to 8 weeks, complete the mailing cycle using a post card.

   4. Important: Keep repeating the cycles of business card, hot card, post card, to the list permanently.
          * If someone that receives information asks you about your business, simply state "This is a very smart thing to do" and refer them to your FOL team website. Do not get in to allot of detail. You want to simply pique their curiosity to visit your website and learn more.
          * Follow up with them by telephone, and if they went to the website and show interest, invite them to the next "live" on-line meeting. Also, answer any questions they may have.



Developing a warm market from your cold market

Focus on finding professionals, business owners, sales people, success oriented people. Look for people who are dissatisfied with where they are at and are HUNGRY for an opportunity. Timing is EVERYTHING. When the timing is right ANYONE can be open.

   1. Get some Business Cards, Hot Cards, and brochures. If you have a favorite local printer then have them create a card for you. It doesn't matter where you order....just order some.

      Important: Use your personal domain name on all information. One website, one simple system.

   2. Begin to gather names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses. Store this data in a software program such as ACT! or Goldmine.

      You are NOT going to send the people on this list an email message about your business. Not yet anyway, because that would be spamming.

      Here are some ideas of where to find names to add to your "cold market'' list:

          * Existing network marketers
          * Network marketing companies
          * Business opportunity seekers
          * Small businesses owners
          * Home business owners
          * Fortune 500 Companies
          * Dot-corn companies
          * Franchise companies
          * Associations
          * Sales organizations
          * Christian market
          * Churches & synagogues
          * Pastors
          * Missionaries
          * Counselors
          * Medical organizations
          * Insurance Agents
          * Real Estate Agents
          * Professional Trainers/Coaches
          * Professional coaches
          * Speakers
          * Executives Professionals
          * Sales people
          * Non-profit or fund-raising organizations
          * Success oriented individuals

   3. Once you have your list started, spend 15 minutes per day and mail a business card in an envelope to FIVE people per day. Be sure to hand write the address on the envelope.
          * After you have mailed a business card to everyone on the list (6 to 8 weeks) repeat the 3 step cycle using the HotCards. (Important: use the same list of people.)
          * In 6 to 8 weeks, complete the mailing cycle using a Post Card or brochure.

   4. Important: Keep repeating the cycles of business card, hot card, post card, to the list permanently.

   5. After you complete one cycle of sending a business card, hot card, and post card you will next call each person in your list asking their permission to send them an important e-mail. Be sure to verify their email address and let them know it is the most powerful financial success tool you have ever seen and you thought they might enjoy it as well.

      If someone asks you about your business, simply state "This is a very smart thing to do" and tell them the email you'll send them will give them more details. Do not get in to allot of detail. You want to simply pique their curiosity to open your email and visit your website to learn more.

   6. Send your prospect a brief email with the link to your FOL team site.

   7. Follow up with them by telephone, and if they went to the website and show interest, invite them to the next "live" on-line meeting. Also, answer any questions they may have.

Hello Guys,

I want to share with you what I'm going to do this week.

I'm going to order some business cards (1000) with the appearance of a movie ticket with my web site sending people to the Income for Life movie; I'm going to walk parking lots until my feet hurt and I'm gonna place a movie ticket in every car window. If I get some sign ups this way I will recruit every homeless in town and I'm going to sponsor them and make movie tickets for them to help me cover the whole area. Because as I say "This Home Based Business is so easy even the homeless can do it.

Good, and I wish you success.

Keep us posted on how you get on.

Try to tuck the card in between the glass and the seal on the drivers side
window, just above the door handle. That way you will have less of a chance of
making the car driver angry.
