  • Burning Bridges in Direct Sales

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 147

    How do you handle it when a team member leaves your business for another? Or companies make changes?Do you keep your cool or do you burn bridges? We are going to cover that topic in today’s show!

    I’ve reopened my one on one Direct Sales coaching program , along with my DO It Yourself Inner Circle Coaching and you can learn more over at StreetSmartWealth.com/coach

    I would love to help you break through the barriers and have the success you want in Direct Sales.

    Why It’s Never a Good Idea to Burn Bridges

    It's never a good idea to burn bridges with people and Direct Sales is no different. Sometimes, conflict can be created when people change companies; stop working; or in some way disappoint. Harsh words and actions can come back to bite you later.

    Stay calm, cool and collected and wish others the best, because after all, it's important that they find the right fit for themselves. If you keep the door open, they may return!

    Here are a few things that can happen to cause a shift:

    People Leave.

    Leaders Leave and take other with them.

    Companies change compensation plans.

    When these things happen, tempers flare and it can seem like the right thing to lash out and bad mouth others. Perhaps you and your company are being bad mouthed.

    But, as hard as it is, it is important to keep your cool, and use my “24 hour rule” before acting, or reacting to any situation.

    Take a step back, think about things and wait to respond to anything until 24 hours has passed. You may be surprised at how differently you feel.

    Today’s review shout out goes to my Friend George Fourie, from down under in Australia who writes - Jackie is the ultimate innovator. I subscribe to many business podcasts but couldn’t find anything great that focused on our industry. Until now. About 7 years ago I was searching the internet, as you do, to find more information about the network marketing professoin. All roads lead to Jackie’s websites. Not sure which episode it was where you mentioned that you don’t know SEO Jackie but that ain’t the truth. unless you’re just a natural. Jackie gives away more pure gold in this podcast that you can take straight to the bank. The top notch production keeps you even more engaged. Well done Jackie, keep on sharing the value!

    Thanks George!

    I LOVE and appreciate reviews!

  • What's the Value in a Blog for Your Type of Direct Sales Business

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 146.

    Do you need a blog for your direct sales business and will it really work for your type of business? This is a question that Mike asked me about his Weight Loss Network Marketing business and program. Answers to this on today's show!

    I was shocked at the question since weight loss is still one of the most widely researched topics online, and probably always will be as people focus on looking and feeling better....at least for awhile!

    Your blog is the hub pf the universe for your business.

    Not your company site. And, not your Facebook Page, although both of these have a strong purpose in your overall online strategy.

    Think of the awesome content you can create and the before and after photos you can share.

    Weight loss keywords are awesome and as I mentioned, highly researched all of the time. People are looking for this information.

    And, when you create your own content, you have valuable information to share on Social Media to drive traffic back to your blog and your list!

    It establishes you as an authority!

  • How to Build an International Network Marketing Business Without Leaving Home

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 145

    JackieUlmer.com/coach

    How to Build a Global Direct Sales Business

    Start with your own warm market list and ask - who do you know? GREAT chance to go back to those who you have previously talked to and see if things have changed, and do so with a 3rd party approach.

    Then, think of offline networking groups you belong to. Share that your company is expanding! Drop/Blitz cards, your 30 second commercial and so on!

    Other business locally that may be tied - restaurants, bars, chambers of commerce, stores and other businesses.

    Think of local Chambers of Commerce and businesses that are geared toward these ethnic and global groups.

    Social Media - my favorite way to reach out to a specific number of people each day to create curiosity and build new warm market!

    Facebook and Linked in, even Meetup - SEARCH for people and groups in these countries that match what you are looking for!

    Don't forget - http://JackieUlmer.com/fbforbiz - my ebook on how to use Facebook effectively to sponsor!

    ACTION STEPS

    Who do you know? Go back to your list.

    Who can you network with offline in business groups?

    Check out Social Media.

    Reach out to a set number of people each day in these countries!

  • How to Effectively Invite Prospects to Look at Your Direct Sales Business

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 144.

    On today’s show, we will cover How to invite prospects to take a look at your Direct Sales and Network Marketing business. Master this gateway skill and you will be successful.

    We’ve spent the last few shows going through how to launch a business, where I am sharing with you exactly the steps I am taking to grow a business from start to finish.

    Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.

    Now, don’t forget that I provide complete training audios and worksheets on this in my inner circle coaching program.

    JackieUlmer.com/coach

    Inviting is one of the most important gateway skills you must learn and master to be successful in your Direct Sales business.

    If you are here and looking for the right Direct Sales company, I would love to talk with you. Go to WorkWithJackie.com and let’s talk.

    How to Invite Prospects to Take a Look at Your Business.

    Have a plan; know every steps in the process. Don’t wing it and leave it to chance.

    If you are prepared, you can easily impart knowledge and interest with the words you share.

    Stay out of sales mode. You aren’t selling here, your goal is to get them to take a look.

    Have a basic script without sounding scripted.

    Write it out, practice it, put into bullet points and become a master at communicating what you do.

    Use tools - don’t try to explain it.

    Don’t use a tool that goes so far into details that it overwhelms them.

    See the invitation by paying attention to cues offline and by what is shared on social media.

    Honor what they are currently doing and be respectful if they say know. Don’t burn bridges and don’t offend with comments like -

    I’m going to need someone to mow my grass and clean my house, and so on.

    Share success stories casually as you talk with people.

    When out networking, share exactly what you do to make money - don’t be sketchy. Let them know.

    Develop your own success story to share, and model in any way that you can how it works.

    Send thank you cards for those who look and even those who say know. Stay top of mind!

    ACTION STEPS

    Plan for Success; know your process.

    Write out your scripts and practice.

    Know the tools you will use.

    Learn how to seed your invitation; don’t just pounce, learn to casually share stories that relate to what they are sharing.

    Ask for referrals.

    Keep in touch.

  • Tribute to Mark Yarnell Network Marketing Professional

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 143.

    I was so sad to hear of Network Marketing Legend Mark Yarnell's passing on March 4th, 2015. He touched my life and helped develop my skills and knowledge of how to be successful in Network Marketing. His phrase - Impression Management - which is handling how you feel about what others may say and think about your involvement in Network Marketing stands out strong for me.

    I had the honor of interviewing him last year, and wanted to re-broadcast that show in case you missed it. Access the full transcript here.

    Mark Yarnell Tribute

    Mark Yarnell, Network Marketing professional and legend passed away March 4, leaving a huge legacy and deep void in network marketing. Here is my interview of him from last year, full of fun and nuggets of wisdom as only Mark Yarnell can deliver.

    What other's are saying -

    Stacy Todd Clark, on Facebook - Mark was one of the most generous people I knew. He taught to me to never judge a person asking for money. He would say if they are a "fake" that was between them and their maker. That I should give what my heart felt and to never second guess it.

    One day we were walking in downtown Reno and a man who was definitely tipsy asked Mark for money, he reached in his pocket and gave the man a $20 bill. I was surprised and said Mark he is just going to spend it on booze. Mark smiled that beautiful smile of his and said even a drunk deserves a Chivas Regal now and then.

    Mark Walmsley, on Facebook - Mark Yarnell, the author of "Your First Year In Network Marketing" passed yesterday. He was a true legend of the industry and his book is an absolute must read for everyone in this amazing profession. I appreciate his phone call when he had read my book, his words of support and encouragement meant a lot to me. Thoughts and Prayers to his family and friends.

    And, there are hundreds of others. Listen in to hear some of Mark's great insights into our profession of Network Marketing.

    Thank you, Mark, for the gifts you gave to all of us. You will be greatly missed.

  • Do You Suffer From Super Hero Syndrome in Network Marketing

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show XXX

    Do you suffer from Super Hero Syndrome in Your Network Marketing Direct Sales Business? Feeling like you have to do it all - motivate, lead, be responsible for the success and failure of others? You might be suffering from Super Hero Syndrome, especially if you like the way you look in tights! More on today's show!

    Now, don’t forget that I provide complete training audios and worksheets on thow to build a successful network marketing business both online and offline in my inner circle coaching program.

    JackieUlmer.com/coach

    How to Avoid Syper Hero Syndrome in Network Marketing

    Do you like the way you look in tights? Now, that sounds like a joke, and it kind of is, but I want you to think about Super Man, Super Woman, Super Hero syndrome and think about whether you might be suffering from it.

    This typically happens once you have a team growing and you have some momentum going!

    Do you think you can save the world in Network Marketing?

    Do you try to do it all?

    Do you feel responsible for the success of everyone on your team? And, do you take on the responsibility of their failures?

    Let people know in that very first phone call you have with them once they have joined that THEY are the ones responsible for their own success or failure.

    Congratulate them on making a decision and joining the team, and you will be there to be their best cheerleader, but success or failure is based solely on their actions in their own business.

    Be clear right up front.

    You can't motivate another to work the business, you can only inspire.

    You can, however, sell people into joining. That's called a "paid no!" But "joining" is not the same as building.

    I made some big mistakes in my early network marketing career by running meetings and thinking I was the only one who could do a presentation "the right way!" We created a team where others thought they were not capable of doing the business themselves.

    Spend time where it is earned...where it is deserved...with the ones who are actually building a business. Doing the daily action steps.

    Remember, it's okay to set boundaries around your business and your time. Don't fear that others will quit if you are not there at their beck and call. True builders are doing this for themselves and by themselves. Your role really doesn't have a lot to do with anything!

    ACTION STEPS

    Determine if there are places in your business where you have adopted super hero syndrome? Taking on too much responsibility and feeling like you need to motivate?

    Are you spending time with those who earn it?

    Build a business that reflects YOUR values and creates a lifestyle you love.

  • Should You Buy Products From Direct Sales Companies Besides Your Own

    Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 141

    Should I buy from and support other Direct Sales and Network Marketing business owners? This is a great question and we will cover all aspects of it on today's show.

    We’ve spent the last few shows going through how to launch a business, where I am sharing with you exactly the steps I am taking to grow a business from start to finish.

    Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.

    Now, don’t forget that I provide complete training audios and worksheets on this in my inner circle coaching program.

    JackieUlmer.com/coach

    Should I buy from and support other Direct Sales and Network Marketing business owners?

    Loyal customers are an important part of a solid Network Marketing business for long term stability, and distributors from other companies could become some of your best customers and ambassadors. In fact, solid customers who are not part of the compensation plan can be much stronger for your business than mediocre distributors who are only in it for the money, and once they quit, they stop using the products or services offered.

    There are some things to keep in mind though....

    It's a good idea to look for reciprocal agreements - I'll use your products, and you use my products. This is a win win. And, don't be afraid to shop around until you find someone who will also support you.

    Be careful and think it through before you sign up as a distributor, though. In some cases, you can get the biggest discount if you are a rep for the company, but I am leery to put my name anywhere into a geneaology report or downline matrix.Don't buy for the wrong reasons, and this would include just because they will buy from you. If the products and services are not something you will use, or that match your values, I would avoid it!

    Make sure the product is value oriented, price wise, and not ridiculously over priced.

    Be up front if there is something in the product that doesn't work for you, such as an allergic reaction. I have had this problem in the past with some skin care companies.

    Share a testimonial if you love the product. Set boundaries around this so your name is not wrongly associated, however.

    Be a "Go-Giver" and you'll likely find you get testimonials back!

    Also, think of other small businesses in your local area that you can support in a similar way, who may also support your business. Become a strong ambassador of small business!

    Provide samples whenever you can, so potential customers can consider buying from you.

    Are you feeling stuck in your business? Maybe like it’s not quite IT, but your hands feel tied about what to do about it? Let’s talk about feeling stuck, understanding why you feel stuck and what to do about it on today’s show.

    Understanding Why You Are Stuck and How To Get Unstuck

    Since I started sharing my recent journey of change, I have talked and coached with at least a dozen people who are feeling stuck and unhappy for one reason or another.

    So, here is my disclaimer - if you are listening and we had a phone conversation, a coaching session or an email exchange about this, I am NOT talking about you and your story.

    And, at the same time, know this - you are not alone.

    How this often shows up is -

    Business stops growing.

    You procrastinate.

    You believe there aren’t any motivated people any more.

    You stop sponsoring people.

    You become indifferent and frustrated.

    You might even feel hostile about your company.

    There is a much deeper issue.

    And, by defaulting to the above statements, you are saying - other people have power over me and I can’t have what I want because they are stronger than me.

    It seems to be about unmotivated people, but really it’s about your lack of belief….in something.

    Products, company or management - something.

    Maybe you feel like you've climbed the ladder of success and found that it was leaned against the wrong wall. I've been there. Built with that turned out to be the wrong company.

    But, there are no mistakes. There really aren’t.

    We are all on a journey, and we don’t know the path when we start. It’s full of starts, stops and twists and turns. The path can feel very painful at times.

    Money, loss of income, friendships, others counting on us, what will people say and so on - it can be even worse in the network marketing “box” than corporate America.

    You must slow down to hear the voice of God, which is ALWAYS there, speaking to you. If you can’t quiet your own voice, you won’t hear it.

    My own story - things kept being placed in my path. Even 3 years ago.

    Mary Kay

    PLR content for a blog

    Companies sending me products to demo.

    Those things were God, or spirit speaking to me, but I had a challenge getting my ego out of the way so I could hear.

    What I mean by ego.

    Passion vs Routine - what might that feel like?

    Where will life lead me when I have a passion and I follow it?

    What if you are being guided to serve an audience that needs and wants you? What if you are playing small to remain stuck where you are?

    What’s the lesson for you in all of it?

    What’s the cost? What’s the payoff?

    The cost is in not being truly happy and following your values and passion.

    The payoff might be not having to get back in the game and build again; of not having to tell your sponsor, or team, or whatever.

    We never want to do something that creates more of a loss than a gain, but there are perceived payoffs and real costs that must be examined.

    You are often losing more than you are gaining by staying stuck.

    More often than fear of failure, we have a fear of success, and so we continue to attract people into our business who are not really interested or ready. When you think about it - we attract that because WE are not truly interested or ready.

    Question - what action or behavior is leaving you feeling stuck, frustrated and unfulfilled?

    What do you perceive the payoff to be?

    What is the cost?

    These are REALLY heavy questions.

    Now, what if you chose a different action or behavior - how would that feel?

    What would that payoff be?

    And the cost?

    There is a concept of IT and NOT IT.

    It experiences align with our joy, our values and passions.

    NOT IT experiences grate against us, deplete us, frustrate us.

    So, right now, what is the NOT IT experience for you?

    What might the IT experience look like? If you find yourself thinking - I don’t know - go deeper. If you DID know, what would that be?

    These can be tough question to ask, but if you will be honest with yourself, you know the answers.

    You serve no one, least of all you, by choosing to stay stuck. And, that’s what it is - a choice.

    I know, I hear it - the paycheck, the company, the team - it’s all still a choice and you know for yourself how to choose it and not it, to best align with where you want to be.

    No one else is choosing for you.

    Actions Steps

    Where are you feeling stuck

    Why is it NOT IT

    What would be it

    What action do you commit to in order to create the change you want

    What will that feel like?
