Why Is Nobody Interested in Your Opportunity?
0People hate being sold, but they love to buy.
Does this sentence make any sense? Well to me it makes all the sense in the world. In fact this is the number one mistake people in MLM are doing when they are trying to build their “empire”. This is the number one reason why 97% of people fail miserably in Multi Level Marketing. They are trying to sell their product to their prospects. Some people will opt in to their opportunity, because of their initial enthusiasm, but will quit a month later. This is called attrition and will kill your business faster than anything.
To be able to make any real money in any business, it does not matter if you work through the Internet or with traditional ways of network marketing, you have to sell people what they want. You need to target market with laser accuracy to those people who are really interested in your opportunity. Then they will want to buy your product and they will come to you asking for more information.
Let me give an example here to back this up. Lets say that you want to market to the world your new Pest Control company. If you make a search on Google about pest control, you will find adds like “we are the largest pest control company” or “get a free quote for your needs today”, “we use the most effective products in the market”. Nobody is having the advantage. They all market the same way. If people have a pest control problem, they could go to any of these companies. Let’s say that you make a research and you discover that most of the companies are using chemicals that are harmful for children. Then you write an article about something like this “Pest Control? How to protect your children from dangerous chemicals”. Guess what? You have just put yourself as an expert in the industry. You are not even promoting your product. You are promoting a solution that most mothers out there will be interested in. When these people will actually want Pest Control, you are the one that they are going to come to.
What I am trying to say is that you have to spend some time listening to people and learning their real needs. You have to provide solutions for their problem and you should do this for free. This will put you ahead of competition, because people will want to hear more from you. If you have provided a solution to their problem, this puts you in a position as a leader and people will just follow you.
All of you people out there dealing with Multi-Level-Marketing, should learn how to build rapport. Only then will people join your opportunity. People will follow people or solutions and not products. Nobody is interested in your opportunity because they do not think of you as a leader, or someone who has a solution on how to make this work.
What you need to do is put real value to the table and you can do this if you educate your self on how to do this effectively.
What Makes a Number ‘Memorable’?
0People have different strategies to help them remember things. Perhaps you write lists and stick them on the fridge, or keep notes on your smartphone. Maybe you leave a pile of items at the bottom of the stairs as a visual cue so you remember to take them next time you go up. Or you might even use the traditional mnemonic technique of tying a knot in a hankie!
When choosing a phone number for your business, it’s wise to pick one that’s easy for customers to remember. That way, when they see it on marketing material such as your advertisements, website and vehicle livery, they are more likely to phone you and not a competitor.
With Telecoms World, like many suppliers, you’ll find that numbers are offered in price tiers depending on how memorable they are. But what makes one number more memorable than another? (more…)
Attract New Business By Creating Personal Connections With Business Partners And Clients
0When attracting new business it is wise to build personal relationships with the people you interact with the most, whether it’s a business partner or a potential long term client. While it is important to be focused on the core business issues at hand during a conversation with a business partner or a new client, spending a few minutes to gather some personal information and being conscious of building a personal relationship will ensure that special connections can be made.
While a personal relationship does not always immediately attract new business it can be the difference in closing a deal or getting a business referral later down the road. Leverage your personal relationship in marketing strategies to reach new clients, especially through social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Focus on the most important details for a person and make them feel special to attract new business through personal relationships. (more…)
