Having Confident Leadership in Team Building


Most people are always striving to better themselves.
For proof, check the sales figures on the number of
self-improvement books sold each year.

This is an indication of people's awareness that in order
to better themselves, they have to continue improving on
their personal development.

How about that!

To excel in any network marketing venture, you must have
confidence, and knowledge of your abilities. You have to
know and understand yourself and your goals.

You have to recognize and accept your weaknesses as well
as your special talents. This requires a kind of personal honesty
that not everyone is capable of exercising.

In addition to knowing yourself, you must continue learning
about people. And the best, and easiest way I know to master
this skill, is through Mentoring for Free and the personality
colors training.

But there's a flip side

Our society is predicated upon selling, and 90% of the world's
population doesn't like to sell, or be sold to. Accepting these
facts will enable you to understand that there is a need to
develop the relationship, to be successful in the business of
network marketing.

You get paid according to your people skills, and knowledge
of developing relationships with these people. If you're ready
to become successful, then think seriously about learning the
personality colors of your prospects.

It's as simple as that

Promoting a product or service for the benefit of other people.
Will work much better if you know your prospects, feelings,
thoughts and actions You can start with the classic ebook
"Success in 10 Steps",

Study, learn from Michael Dlouhy's experience, and watch your
business move ahead by leaps and bounds. By using the training
that is available with Mentoring For Free.

Economic Storm Creates Perfect Opportunity for Successful Network Marketing Team Building



Tough economic times are creating the perfect storm for,
starting a network marketing team building campaign. In these
days, it's becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet
with just one source of income. Thus, more and more people
are investigating the possibilities of starting their own home
based business.

Now is the best time to get these people interested in joining
your group. The first thing you must do, however, is some basic
market research. Find out for yourself, first-hand, just how many
people there are in your area who are interested in your proposed
business opportunity.

Shooting fish in a barrel

This is known as defining your market and pinpointing your
prospects. If after checking around, talking about your idea
with a targeted group of people over a period of time, you get
the idea that these people would be motivated business partners.
Your next effort should be directed toward the training of your
step by step duplicatable system.

The more precise and detailed your system is for covering all
the bases relating to how you'll do everything that needs to be
done. The easier it's going to be for you to help your new team
members engage in success.

Plan you work, work your plan

Such a plan should show your prospects it pays to lay it all out on
paper before they get sponsoring. The clearer they can "see"
everything before starting the process, the better their chances
for success.

Now, assuming you've got your market targeted, you know who
your prospects are going to be and how you're going to reach
them. The next step is to set your plan in motion and start
building your network marketing team of motivated entrepreneurs

Organized activities, relieve chaos

If you've got your business plan properly organized, and have
implemented the activities. Starting a successful network marketing
business should be regarded as the beginning of an enterprise that
will grow and prosper, with you as the leader of your team,
receiving recurring income from your efforts.

Amazing Formula for Team Building

A Return To Simplicity

The 6 Things You Gotta Know To Put Your Formula Together

By Marlon Sanders

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let's return to simplicity.

There are all kinds of complicated things you can do to
market online. But let's just look at the simple things
we know work.

The following formula will work for you whether you have
your OWN products to sell or you're promoting affiliate products.

There are 6 basic things you gotta know to get your
Formula working for you:

1. Who is your target audience?

This is the FIRST thing you have to know. Who BUYS
what you're selling.

In today's world, this is easy to find.

a. You search Google for the keywords people interested
in buying what you hope to sell are likely searching
for.

b. You take the top 10 web sites under those keywords.

c. You go to Quantcast.com and type in the URL's.

Now you know who your audience is.

2. What do they want to buy

a. Go back to the SAME websites in step one.

b. Look at what they're selling.

c. Now you know what people want to buy.

3. What's your advantage in the Game?

You need to have a USP or an advantage.

Look for 1 of 3 scenarios.

-- People who are underserved
-- overserved
-- or non consumers.

If they are underserved, you create products to serve them.

If they are overserved, meaning the products are more expensive
and elaborate than they need, you launch a scaled down product.

If they are non-consumers of your product, you make it easy
and convenient for them to use your product or service.

LAW ONE: Before going to battle, always have a clear, decisive
advantage. That's what Red Factor is about: Gaining an advantage.

Now, you know WHO buys, you know WHAT they buy,
you know WHAT your advantage is.

4. How you will reach 'em

Go back to the web sites in step one.

Go through and look to see if you can buy ads on their sites or
in ezines.

Do backlink checks with and see if any of those sites offer ads or
ezines.

Go here:

http://searchanalytics.compete.com/site_referrals/

On the first "site referrals" tab, type in each domain in the top
ten. Now you can see what KEYWORDS deliver the traffic.

You can buy keywords using ppc OR you can get organic rankings.
All you gotta do is find out:

* Where these people are hanging out
* The blogs they read
* The forums they go to
* The things they search for in Google

Then you offer a freebie that's irrestible to 'em.

5. How to get 'em into your funnel

Now you know how to reach 'em. You need to offer bait. You offer
a free report or other bait to get people into your sales funnel
so you can follow up with 'em.

What attractive report can you offer that people will crawl over
broken glass to get? THAT is what you offer on your "Squeeze"
page.

6. Send 'em emails

Send 'em emails and promotions that get 'em to buy.

The idea here is to find other things they want to buy, join
the affiliate programs, write up promos and send 'em to your list.

You'll also want to publish content to your list. You can write
that yourself or hire writers.

Once people are on your list, you send content and offers.
There is a sequence to that that my friend Lee McIntyre has
proven to be very effective:

Content. Pitch. Content. Pitch. For every pitch, send a piece of
content.

My friend Jim Edwards used to do: Content. Content. Pitch.

You can send offers for your own products or those from other
people. You can do your pitches in the emails, in blog posts, by
video, by audio, by webinar, by Ustream, or by teleseminar.

In Promo Dashboard, I call this rolling out "The Full Arsenal."
You use all the tools that work for you and fit who you are.

7. Turn every customer into an affiliate

In the ideal world, you wanna turn every customer into an affiliate.

The idea is that you make it easy for 'em to get articles, links,
banners and tools they can stick on a blog, Facebook or
Myspace page.

SUMMARY"

* Know who buys
* Know what they buy
* Know where they hang out at
* Offer 'em a tasty freebie they can't refuse
* Send 'em content and offers
* Get 'em all to be your affiliate

If you wanna get fancy, have 'em post and talk to you on your
blog and Twitter. Get 'em into a Facebook group.

Poof! Now you know the simplicity of marketing online. Isn't
that 10X clearer than a LOT of the things you've read to date?

You probably know someone who needs to read this article.
Would you post it on your blog, pass it along to 'em on Twitter
or spread the word to 'em on Facebook?

I know they'll appreciate the CLARITY. In marketing, there is
no 100% certainty. But there is CLARITY.

Simple, clear thinking about how to pay your bills and have a
nice life by sellin' stuff online.

This is what I offer you.

In a time when it seems like everything is so complexl, there is
an essential simplicity. It isn't always easy.

But it is CLEAR.

CRYSTAL CLEAR thinking.

I hope it's all CRYSTAL to you now after readin' this article.
Spread the word.

Clarity exists at marlonsnews.com.

I've been around longer than most. Seen more things than most.
Tried more things that worked than most. Had more things fail
than most. Read more than most. And travelled and spoken
more than most.

Out of all that, there's on thing I have to offer you:

Clarity.

Floored by Team Building Results


The most interesting thing happened on the way to my blog.
I made a stop at ezinearticles.com, to upload a recent article
I had written. I had noticed they published one of my articles
today.

Being curious as to it's ranking, I did a quick Google check,
lo and behold, my article is number one. I was floored
my article ranked #1 out of 12.7 million pages, in less than
a day.

I have to thank my mentor Richard Dennis for this happening.
He did a teleseminar a few weeks ago, about using LSI which
stands for latent semantic indexing. It sounds like some
boring scientific research gobbledy-goop.

But what it really means is using relative words, that match
you major keywords. So I thought I'd give it a go using this
free keyword software PPC Web Spy.

Since it works so well, I decided to join the 100 Day Challenge.
Which is to write 100 articles in 100 days. The site is free to
join, and the community is there to help keep you focused.
You can join the Challenge, and get writing.

Mentoring For Free the Training System for Team Building

Most people do network marketing every day, they just don't
get paid for it. Although many people would love to have the
opportunity to work from home, and have their own home based
business. Most won't even try because they have no idea where
to start.


These are people you know, who are actively seeking an
opportunity. So it will make it easier when you approach them
to join your organization. By teaching them the formula for
creating wealth in network marketing: “Get a large group of
people – to do a few simple actions– over a consistent period
of time."

Team development is a critical beginning in this process, so
consider the following After discussing their objectives in detail,
you will help them prepare an outline of the exercises and
activities that will help your new team members achieve their
business and team building goals.

When you plug them into the Mentoring For Free training system,

of it. I think I can safely say that we offer more training information

Building Confidence for MLM Team Building



In network marketing, personal development is an important
part of the success quotient. So you cannot allow your thoughts
to be controlled by others, positive personal self talk is a
necessary tool to keep you in control of your own thoughts and
actions.

This is a great lesson for every network marketer.

The day's of you stumbling into success in network marketing
are gone. As prospects whose dominant emotion is fear - aren't
letting go of their wallets and purses so easily anymore. People
are so afraid, they don't want to spend their hard earned money
on anything that looks like a risky opportunity.

But sharper people who are re-inventing themselves and their
businesses with a disciplined action plan of personal development
are actually thriving. By being able to get control of your
thoughts and actions , you'll create success in network marketing
- in a good or a bad economy.

If you don't control your own thoughts, how can you ever expect
to talk confidently to a prospect about your opportunity? You
must believe in what you're saying about, your industry, your
company and your ability to help this individual build their own
downline...especially in these scary economic times. This creates
confidence in your team building strategy's

Luckily for us in network marketing, confidence is actually easy
to develop. In fact, if you stay on the personal development plan,
you'll eventually end up in a leadership role. So developing the
habits of highly effective people will pay off "big time"... so it's
worth it to stay the course of personal development mastery.

What you use to communicate with your prospects will have a
major effect on your ability to gain trust with them.Using
completely automated systems, where your prospect never
gets to question you, hear from you and "feel" your spirit, will
surely ruin your business. Even beforeyou can get it off the
ground.

Right now, you can get the tools and training you need to ensure
your success no matter what condition the economy is in. The
tools and training I use and suggest are available to you in
Mentoring for Free
