A study by Selling Power Magazine states that...
1% of all cold calls turn into sales
15% of all leads turn into sales
55% of all referrals turn into sales
80% of all introductions turn into sales
Think about it.

Usefu Tip For Today
"It's far better to find a poor sales method, master it and do it . . .
than to find several great sales methods and haphazardly do them all at the same time".

Tip For today
Contrary to what you may have heard, many top producers in network marketing quietly (but aggressively) recruit leaders from other network marketing companies.
Think about it.

A Great Openening Sentence!!!
I was at a restaurant in Charleroi, Belgium with my friend,
Jean-Philippe. After ordering our drinks, Jean-Philippe
asks the waiter:
"Are you married to your job or are you open-minded?"
Everyone wants to be considered as having an open mind,
so the waiter responds:
"Yes, of course I am open-minded. You know, this
job doesn't pay enough for me."
Jean-Philippe gives the waiter his card and casually says:
"We'll talk later."
This opening sentence opens the door for you. Not only
will the prospect be more receptive to hearing a presentation,
your prospect will also try to give your presentation a fair
hearing.
What more can you ask for?
Simple sentences and questions like this will build
your business. Network marketing leaders work hard on
perfecting these sentences and questions.
Later in the day, Jean-Philippe and I were back at the
same restaurant. The waiter was still working. He was
supposed to get off work hours earlier. And he was busy.
In fact, he was the only waiter and the restaurant was
was very crowded.
When the waiter sees Jean-Philippe, he smiles. He knows
he wants to talk to Jean-Philippe. He is motivated.
So what do you do next?
You could set an appointment to talk to the waiter
when he gets off work. You could give the waiter your
card and tell him you will call later.
Or, you could invite the waiter to a conference call,
an opportunity meeting, or even set an appointment
to visit with your sponsor in person or via a
three-way call.
Maybe you could just give the waiter a CD to listen
to on his way home.
Or, just give the waiter your "One-Minute Presentation"
- and then if he was interested, you could talk more
when the waiter had a break.

Men Of Honor
Men Of Honor
Oct 09, 2007
As I was flipping through the channels a great movie thatI hadn't seen in a while came on - "Men of Honor" starringRobert Di Nero and Cuba Gooding Jr.
The plot goes . .
Cuba is a African American US navy cook whose life dream isto become a navy diver in a time when there were no nonwhite navy divers.Robert Di Nero is navy master diver who is demoted to drillsergeant because of a violent incident he brought on.(Details not necessary)
Well Cuba's character, after getting into the navy divingprogram is assigned to Robert De Niro as his drill sergeant.Do to his racism and heat up the line of command, De Niromakes in infinitely tougher on Cuba to get through theprogram than his white classmates.But because Cuba's drive to achieve his end is no less thanconcrete, he doesn't miss a step no matter what his drillsergeant throws at him.
In a key seen, De Niro tells Cuba to "Go home Cookie." When Cuba doesn't back down De Niro ask him "Why won't youquit!"
Cuba answers "I'll never give up!"(Of course, I'm paraphrasing all this.)
Well it comes down the last day of training for the new navydiver hopefuls and they are giving as a final exam the taskof putting together a series of tubes in the frigid darkdeep waters around their training ground.The men are sent down and then so are the pieces of tubing,screws and tools in a separate bag.Well, when it came Cuba's turn Di Nero cut the bag open sothe pieces of the tubing would be scattered around the seabottom.
As you can imagine all the other navy diver hopefulsfinished within hours of getting their bags of tools andtubing while Cuba was left at the bottom searching the seafloor in the cold darkness of night to find his piece andassemble his project.
At any point Cuba's character could have quit and come up,but he didn't.His dream was to be a navy diver and that was what he wasgoing to be.After over 9 hours and almost succumbing to severhypothermia he assembled the tubing right before beingyanked out of the water unwillingly.Nothing and no one could stop him from achieving his goaleven if it meant he might die in the process.This was an extremely powerful and inspiring lesson to watchon a Sunday night before going back to work.Cuba's desire to become a navy diver in the movie meant morehim than his life. With that sort of drive there is no way he could have failedshort of dying.
He overcame every obstacle because it was inconsequential tohis goal.
So I ask you . . .What does your time freedom mean to you?
How willing are you to pay the necessary price to grow the huge network marketing organization you dream of?
What if it takes you 5 years to get to the point in yourbusiness that you want to to live the life you dream?Will you be there?If your DREAM is big enough I guar antee you'll be therestill pushing no matter how dark or frigid things get.
Make sure your why is big enough and there is nothing inthis world that can stop you.

How to Have a Productive Day Rather than a Busy Day
How to Have a Productive Day Rather than a Busy Day
Quote of the Day: "At the end of each day you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you" -Jim Rohn
Did you know that there is a GIGANTIC difference between having a productive day versus simply having a busy day? I can't tell you how many people I know, whom I have worked with personally, who THOUGHT that they were being productive in their home businesses, only to find out that they were simply staying conducting menial tasks that meant nothing to their bottom line. Folks...in the end, the only thing that matters is PRODUCTION. What did you produce today?
In fact, here's a GREAT TIP to help keep you on track. I do it. It works! Take out a piece of paper and write down the following words:WHAT DID I PRODUCE TODAY ???Now...post it someplace you HAVE TO SEE IT DAILY. The bathroom mirror, your computer monitor. Put it someplace where you CANNOT MISS IT. That is the important part. Reading it daily and asking yourself that simple question. If you want to make it in this industry, you must PRODUCE. Being busy doesn't cut it. Being productive is all that matters.Focus your time conducting Revenue Producing Activities. If it doesn't make you money, then don't do it. I still have yet to meet a person who makes money dusting their desk, organizing their leads, or cleaning up their office files. You MUST spend your limited time in production mode. We are ALL limited to 24 hours in a given day. The question you have to ask yourself is, how am I spending my valuable time??
3 Tips to Help You Stay on Track
Here are some tips to help you make sure you stay ON TRACK, in PRODUCTION MODE, and stay away from simply being busy.
1. If you are involved in Network Marketing, spend all of your prospecting, presenting, closing and training. Nothing else really matters.
2 . If you need to conduct tasks that keep you "busy" (i.e. writing auto-responder letters, producing training documents for your team, etc.), do it in DOWN TIME. What I mean here is do it when you can't be making phone calls like late at night or very early in the morning.
3. Track yourself and conduct regular self-checks. Log the number of outgoing dials, presentations you made, messages you've left, etc. This will help ensure you are on the right path before it's too late.
Making it in this industry is simple: Proper application of the right activites daily will produce consistent results.Failure is just as simple: Application of the wrong activities daily, and not recognizing that you are doing the wrong things will consistently produce nothing, except frustration and disappointment.This industry works. Network Marketing works. However, YOU have to work (doing the right things) in order for it to work for you.
