I have been with GDI for about 4 weeks now, I have been contacted by my Upline, I have signed up through powwebs, I have google adsense, I have registered website addresses and have them forwarded to my powweb site. I have done all the steps necessary and yet I'm at a stand still. What do I tell people what we offer if they ask.? I mean seriously when I log into my account there is absolutely nothing there showing me anything I signed up (ie powwebs, gdidomainnames.com, google adsense) there is absolutely nothing. So can someone tell me how I am supposed to sell something when I don't even know what it is we are selling. Can someone please help me out? The FAQ's don't come close to answering any of my questions. Thanks!!
Hey Angela.
Let me speak as someone completely unattached to your business.
Please, do not rely on the internet and Google or any other
adword system to build your business.
Yes, they can provide a source of leads, but you're talking about a fickle little thing called the internet.
This business like all other businesses will succeed or fail based on word of mouth. This is an MLM/Network Marketing business no matter what anyone says and these businesses are built through word of mouth. I don't care if that word of mouth is done by email, phone calls, personal conversations over coffee or handing out business cards. The internet CAN generate you leads, but you're going to need an insane amount of exposure to generate good quality people to talk to. I am sure that on a daily basis anyone in this business runs into a lot of very good quality people who can make a go of this business.
Now, as for what you're selling - there are two parts to this. You have the product and you have the business.
The product is fairly simple. It's a website system that allows people to have a complete website package for US$10 per month. Domain name, website, email. And it's set in a way that people don't have to be technically savvy to make it work well for them. The great part of this is that those websites can be used for anything - personal or business. There are a lot of people out there who want a presence on the internet for one reason or another and thiis gives them a great opportunity to have that.
The business is really an extra built in for the $10 if you look at it. You not only have your website but you have the opportunity to share the same system with people and get paid for doing it. It's that simple and it should really be that fun. When it comes to the business, let the website.ws site do the talking for you.
But first and foremost, be yourself, don't change anything about who you are, but when you're talking to someone make sure you hand out a business card. If you're out having dinner, talk with the server. Put a link in the signature line of every email you send out. Do simple and fun things to build your business. And do something fun with your website.
You've got a story of WHY you joined this business. Use it if someone asks. Don't go into hype. None of the "this is the greatest thing in the world and it's going to be the next big brand name like Nike". Keep it simple and honest.
Here's my story plain and simple. I'm seeing that more and more people are starting to want their own identity on the internet. Just look at places like MySpace and others. This gives people a chance to have that without having to be tech gurus and with that I think there's a good opportunity here to make some money.
I know I just went on a bit of a rant here and it was a little disjointed. I speak better than I type, but that's this business plain and simple. And it doesn't matter if it's GDI or any other MLM. It's simple and should be kept simple. And most of all it should be
FUN. So get out there and have some fun with this.
Hope this helps.
