*SMH* Wow…I’m sitting here listening to these CD’s and I am in total AWE at what I’m hearing and I’m also kinda kicking myself.

See, I’ve just recently started digging into this CD course, BUT… the funny thing is that I’ve had these in my possession for, I believe, about two years now!  WTH?

I tried to listen to them back when I first got them, but the fact of the matter is, I just wasn’t ready for it.  I could not receive what I was hearing…it made no sense to me.  I remember listening to one of them and thinking to myself (probably even said it out loud), “These guys are total JERKS!  You can’t build a business like THAT!  You can’t talk to people like THAT!  You’ll never get anyone to sign up into business with you if you say and do THAT!Read the rest of this entry

my lead system pro vs magnetic sponsoringFrom time-to-time someone will ask me about the difference between Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring funded proposal and My Lead System Pro (MLSP).  They ask if the two are in direct competition with one another or which one should they use.

So, I decided to write this article and address those questions. Read the rest of this entry

TamPogo: A Promising Opportunity For You?

tampogoIn our present economy, more and more people are searching for bargains.   Therefore, a company such as TamPogo might be viewed as an answer to prayer for many individuals.

What’s A TamPogo?

TamPogo is an Internet-based shopping mall of sorts that claims to offer thousands of products that you use every day and even some that you may DESIRE to use but could not afford prior, since the company implies you can save money by shopping with them. The products range from clothing to toys, hardware, jewelry and more.

What’s So Appealing About TamPogo As A Business?

Some of the things that really seem to appeal to people who look into TamPogo as a business option is the fact that it is free to join and the only requirement to maintain an active membership is to purchase one “Fast Track” product per month.  Sounds good huh?  I mean, what could be better than free with a small monthly requirement, right?  Buuut…

Review of Shaklee Corporation

Shaklee is a company that has been on the block for a long time… over 50 years to be exact.  Shaklee Corporation was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. who also helped pioneer both the nutritional supplement industry as well as the method of distribution that rewards word-of-mouth referrals – what we know as Network Marketing.

The program offers all-natural nutritional products and earth-friendly cleaning and other household products.   Shaklee prides themselves on not using any pesticides and other contaminants in their products and animal-lovers will appreciate the fact that they do not perform any animal testing.

What Exactly Does Shaklee Offer?

Shaklee offers the following types of products:

- Healthy Nutrition that includes an array of nutritional supplements to aid in restoring your body’s health

- Healthy Weight that includes meal replacement shakes, bars, teas and more to help with your weight goals

- Healthy Beauty with skin care and makeup to improve your skin, hair and enhance your overall appearance

- Healthy Home to clean your environment without using harsh chemicals that may harm it

Any Cons?

You may be wondering if something so good for you and the environment could ever be…bad?  Well, not “bad” per say but what I’ve found with companies like Shaklee is that, oftentimes they advise you to “simply” replace what you already buy with these products but this may not always be financially feasible for all – especially at first.  For example, while their cleansing soap bar may be extremely good for the skin, some people whose household budgets are adjusted for a monthly cost of $7-8 for an entire family pack of soap may find it a tad difficult to pay that same price for one bar!

But in retrospect, many of their products are definitely as friendly to the budget as they are to the environment, especially the household products.  I have used and really loved their Basic H2 ™ as well as the Scour Off ™ products!

What About Shaklee’s Marketing Plan?

In general, I see Shaklee as a great and highly reputible company with wonderful products.   However, there is still one little flaw that they, like most other MLM companies have and that’s in how they train their distributors to market the business.  While their system may work for some, unless the people who join are part of a relatively large circle and have a great deal of influence on those in that circle, the instructed manner of “list building” may prove disappointing.

There is nothing wrong with utilizing one’s warm market to ask for product orders, but to really build a strong business there are simply other marketing skills that need to be obtained.

So, make sure that if you are looking to join Shaklee or even if you’re already involved with them, that you learn more marketing strategies that will help you build your team as well as help your team build theirs!

Tips For Marketing Your FHTM Business

So, you’ve joined FHTM, you’re excited as all get-out because this is an AWESOME business and you can hardly sleep for thinking of the presentation you saw and the potential for how much money you’re going to make!

You’ve made your list, checked it twice and now you’re off to start contacting those top people to show them the plan.

Once you’ve hit your entire list, now what?  What do you do next?  Who do you talk to now?

These are REAL concerns that I’ve heard from REAL Fortune Reps.  So, I’ve decided to outline some tips to help you bring a bit more momentum to your business…

TIP #1: Warm Up To Your Warm List – BUT…

Upon doing some research online for ways to help grow your business, you’ve probably come across some information telling you NOT to approach your warm market – maybe even from ME! ;)

But the truth is, you can approach your warm market HOWEVER…you don’t want to come at them with the business presentation  right off but rather approach them with your PRODUCTS!  That’s right, lead with your products when dealing with your warm market.   Remember, develop a strong customer base first and get some residual income flowing into your pockets and then start finding your business builders!

Depending on HOW “warm” they are, simply ask them for their support by switching over the things they already use that YOU offer.  For example, you could head off the conversation with, “Hey Dad, when does your cell phone contract end? ” and go from there!  And if your warm folks say no, don’t pressure them and try not to get offended…simply leave them your card and request that if they  change their minds or if they come across someone who may be interested to let you know and then move on to the next person!

But I am just of the firm belief that warm market is best for developing your first group of customers and from there, should they decide to look into the business, allow it to be their decision based on their satisfaction with the products and services offered and/or the realization that, “HEY!  I can make money by getting folks to use these services!

TIP #2: Pick One Area And FOCUS on It…

Within Fortune, you have a variety of products and services that you offer.  One of the things I’ve often suggested to other FHTM Reps I’ve coached is to pick one of the products/services and really learn the in’s and out’s of it…in other words, become an EXPERT in that area!  For example, when I was in Fortune I was going to focus on the Travel FHTM area.   My intention was to set up a blog and post HELPFUL tips on how to get the best deals, best times of the year for traveling, etc.  I was going to be the “Travel Expert” in a sense and then when people looked to travel, they’d choose to book their flights through me!

So again, my suggestion is that you choose one of your many services (Identity Theft, Home Security, etc.) and offer a website/blog,  do “tweets” on Twitter, and post FaceBook status updates, etc. that give or point to helpful or informative tidbits dealing with the importance of identity theft protection or why every home owner needs home security, etc.  Maybe even do a “comparative review” on the different ones out there and then mention the one YOU recommend with a discreet link to your site.  There are many different ways to go about it.  And finally…

TIP #3: Set Yourself Apart From All Other FHTM Reps…

Okay, now that you’ve done the whole “warm list thing”, now comes the FUN part – going beyond the warm list!   But first, take a look at your FHTM website.  Now, take a look at anyone else’s – your sponsor’s, for example.  Anything different?  Nope!  No difference other than the name on it.
So, what’s going to make YOU stand out from all the other Fortune Reps out there?

What is going to cause someone to choose to sign up with you rather than someone else in the same company with that same website?  Here’s something I’ll bet you’ve “never” heard before – “People join people, not businesses!“   What YOU have to do is allow people to get to see and know you.  What you DON’T want to do is to let them see you as a peddler, a beggar or a greasy-slick salesman.  You want people to see you as a LEADER…an expert, as I mentioned in the above tip, but even aside from the product aspect… an expert on the business side as well.  For me personally, if I were looking to get into this business (especially if I were new to the industry or to marketing)  I would want to join someone who I feel:

1. Is knowledgeable about the business

2. Is knowledgeable about what it takes to succeed in this business

3. Can show me how to generate leads BEYOND my warm list

4. Can teach me (or point me in the right direction to learn) how to market and promote this business effectively

So, be sure that you have these traits because I’m sure that most people who are SERIOUS about building a business will look for the same or similar qualities as well!  If you’re not too sure or you feel you flat-out don’t have these qualities, then start developing them NOW!  Stop desperately trying to recruit people into the business,  start focusing on getting customers and start EDUCATING yourself and learning your business and how it works (not necessarily every intricate detail but enough to at least appear to know what you’re talking about) and learn a system of marketing that your team members can duplicate!

Hopefully these tips have been helpful to you and if they have, please leave me some feedback below in the comments area…I’d love to hear from you!  Much success to you in building your Fortune Hi Tech Marketing business!

To YOUR Success,
