I remember when I first started my Network Marketing business. I was consumed with knowing the exact right script to say to people; how to follow up; what sizzle call to take them on and all of these “things” about the business that I thought were important. Really, what success comes down to is the A B C D ’s and I’m going to cover those in today’s show.

Today’s show is brought to you by - SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

My inner circle coaching program has launched and in it you will find all of the tools, training and resources you need to build a successful network marketing business online and offline.

Success scripts, how to contact, invite, train and duplicate, along with how to attract an unlimited amount of leads online, who are pre sold on a business and looking.

Question

What does it take to be successful in Network Marketing? What are those things I should focus on daily?

ANSWER

A B C D - these are what makes or breaks you.

A - attitude

B - belief

C - culture

D - DMO daily method of operation

Attitude - are you confident, or just wishing and hoping? What are you sharing with your prospects through your body language and conversation? You can say one thing, and easily feel another.

Belief - in you and your ability.

Culture this starts with YOU in action, following a system and sharing this concept every time you can with those on the team. It doesn’t matter how they find people - online, offline, ads, biz opp leads - the key is inviting 2 a day. So, you create the culture by always asking - did i work my business to the best of my ability today?

DMO - Daily method of operation. Where the rubber meets the road. Income producing activities; contact, invite, present with tools, follow up, track, be organized, be consistent, take time off when you need it and yet get back in the saddle; don’t complain; reframe how you see things.

Success is about simply doing a few simple things, over and over again. It’s blocking out the negativity that we can allow to creep in; the doubts, the fears and the lack of belief. That small voice that can smack us if we aren’t careful.

Everyone goes through it. You think Bill Gates didn’t? Steve Jobs? Donald Trump?

All successful people go through the challenges; the near failures and so on. They just don’t let it define the vision and future they want.

When we first start building online, and start generating leads through the internet, most of them go into our auto responder and we have the chance to keep in touch, share information and encouragement with them, and catch them when the time is right. So, today, I am going to answer the question - how often should I email my list and what do I say?

Question

Thanks to Angel for the question - how often should I email my list? I’m scared that I may say too much, or email too much and I don’t want to lose them before I have the chance to sponsor them. Help!

ANSWER

Having a big list is one thing; getting your emails opened is another; and converting those on the list to buyers is yet another. All 3 go hand in hand.

I want to really make a point with you - All you are doing online is creating new warm market. That's it. You are taking people you didn't know, and turning them into people you DO know, or at least who know YOU.

You will hear over and over again how important it is to share your story, share your story, share your story. Now, you may be thinking, why would these people care? Well, why do so many people read People magazine, and read about celebrities?

We like to be entertained and see what other people are up to. This is why reality shows are so popular. Once people opt in to your list, YES, they are interested in learning about your business and What's in it for them.

And, they are also interested in learning about YOU, and how you fit in with it.

So, practice and get good at sharing your story and creating compelling emails..

There is good and bad follow up; once you get leads, what you DO with them matters. Remember, you are probably not the only person or business they are evaluating.

Different people will convert differently. The way the person landed on your list will make a difference. It has been proven that those who find you through Social Media and Search Engines typically have a higher interest level, convert faster (although most often not instantly) read your emails more.

Those who come in through paid sources (solo and media buys, PPC) are typically a little more stand offish and take more time to warm up. And, like anything, NOT ALWAYS. Every person is different.

If possible, do a little of both types of marketing and begin to test for yourself. I know a lot of people who build almost exclusively through solo ads.

Today, email is still an important part of marketing and can be more effective than the phone, because people don't answer the phone. Think about it. How often do you screen your calls? And, while every email you send won't be opened, staying consistently will increase your success ratio.

I think of some email lists I am on that I seldom read. but don’t unsub from -

Target

Anthropologie

White House/Black Market

and others. I stay on and every once in a while. a subject line draws me in.

You want to work on getting good at those subject lines and use a good auto responder lead capture system that tracks opens and clicks.

JackieUlmer.com/ar

Don't be scared of your list, or those who unsubscribe. You WANT those who are not interested to unsubscribe! Why waste your time and email resources and space on them?

I want you to think about the emails you open; scan; read all the way through; take action on; and delete without thinking twice.

Study your own habits and you may find you fit your target market's habits as well.

There are a few KEY components to getting opened and read.

The language you use is important. Over time, you want to learn to use more persuasive and even hypnotic language. Those who study NLP tend to write more persuasive emails.

You'll be learning how to engage people and share your story, and become like a friend to your list - and they'll be expecting your emails and look forward to reading them.

Write like you talk, not to impress; no jargon or big words; keep it simple; write like you are writing to Homer Simpson.

Unsubscribes shouldn't worry you - they were not going to buy anyway. Get them off your list and move on. The more you mail, the more you'll get and also the more sales you'll make.

Be authentic; be real and don’t just copy what someone else is sending. You want people to go from Social Media, to your site, to your auto responder and email messages to a conversation with you and know it’s the same person.

I share what I do and have done to build a relationship with my list at SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

We will cover:

How to create cash on demand by sending emails.

Subject lines that Make your emails immune from the delete key.

How to structure your emails and avoid The one KILLER mistake most people make

How to deliberately use hot buttons to capture your prospects attention

How to steal hollywoods best stories to make money

Welcome to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show #72, and on today’s show, I’m interviewing Leslie Zann, who brings more than 20 years experience in the network marketing profession both as a distributor and team builder, and a corporate employee, and now a field coach and trainer…..

Hello, bonjour, hola and Welcome to the show, I’m so thrilled to spend this time with you and know you are going to get extreme value from today’s interview!

What brings you here to listen? Maybe you are here looking for some simple tips, so be sure to tune in each Mon - Fri.

iTunes reviews shout out!

Special thanks to Carl Prebilsji who shares in his review - I have always enjoyed listening to Jackie on her conference calls and she is an inspiration to me and delivers useful information about Netwrok Marketing. Now that the mp3s are here, it will be easier to listen to any call you want. Believe me, you will never get tired of listening to Jackie Ulmer.

Thanks Carl!

Are looking for more in depth coaching on how to build a successful MLM business; maybe a one stop shop for coaching you through building your business online and offline. If this describes you, be sure to check out SocialMediaBackStagePass.com for my complete coaching on network marketing and how to use the tools of social media to attract and sponsor others into your business.

Alright, let’s get into today’s interview with Leslie Zann. Leslie Zann is a master at helping people discover and ignite their true and limitless potential. She has an extraordinarily unique way of making deep and emotional connections with her clients…and these connections lead to unveiling their outrageous achievement.

With more than twenty (20) years of Direct Selling experience, Leslie has developed a unique talent for helping people overcome their potential-stopping “limiting beliefs”.

Her one-of-a-kind perspective has much to do with the fact that she’s worked on both sides of the fence. She’s built her own very successful Direct Selling business ($1.2 million in sales), and has eight (8) years’ corporate experience with three (3) distinct business models: Direct Selling, Network Marketing and Party Plan.

5 Questions and ACTION ITEMS

Who do you know like Leslie, someone who might be on your chicken list who NEEDS what you have NOW?

How coachable would you say you are on a scale of 1-10? Remember, Leslie was not coachable in the beginning, and that stunted her growth. Once she realized that, she surrendered to the process and grew a hugely successful business!

Are you willing to “pay your dues” for 3 years and develop the skills you need to be successful? To make the shifts needed?

Do you have a personal development plan in place? Are you consistent with it?

Do you make attending events a priority in your business? IF not, why not?

Oh, and finally - “Are you letting your good enough get in the way of your great?”

So, I hope you have taken away some golden nuggets. The show transcripts are available in the show notes at http://JackieUlmer.com/072

It’s amazing the roadblocks we will put in our own way that prevent us from being successful. I know how it goes, I threw a lot of those roadblocks in my own path back when I was getting started. Here is one I never had though, but I have been asked the question before - how do I get over feeling like I am making money off of people?

Go to SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.

One of my own team partners recently asked this question, so I thought it would be perfect for the show -

How do I get over feeling like I am making money off of people?

ANSWER

Do you ever or have you ever felt this way in your network marketing business? Like you are making money off of people? Do you see people as if they had a dollar sign stamped on their forehead?

I’m not sure really what triggers this for people, but here are some suggestions I have for getting over this.

First, evaluate your own WHY, goals and motives.

What are you doing this for? Who are you doing this for?

Do you feel like every time you place an order, or sponsor someone, that your sponsor is making money off of you? Does that cross your mind?

When you bought your last car, did you get hung up on the fact that the sales person was making money off of you?

How about when you buy -

Groceries?

Pay your light bill?

Go to dinner?

Buy a plane ticket?

OR do anything where there is an exchange of money?

Anytime money is exchanged, someone, somewhere, is making money off of you. And, often it is many people, just like network marketing.

Do you have a job that pays you? Are you somehow making money off of someone? Does that bother you or do you happily cash that pay check with no regard?

So, let’s dig down a little deeper.

Do you believe in the product or service of your business? Do you believe it offers value?

Do you believe there is the potential for others, besides you, to make money - fun money or even network marketing gangster money?

Do you believe that you are offering a gift when you invite someone to take a look?

Or, do you immediately think - how much will I make if they join?

Evaluate your own thoughts and feelings. This is something you are going to have to get control over to be successful.

We are vibrational beings and we give off a vibe of how we are feeling, even if we are unaware or try to think differently. It’s how you feel and believe that makes the difference.

Do you find yourself leading with the money in your network marketing prospecting conversations? Or, do you focus more on painting a vision of freedom and lifestyle?

Money is just a means to an end.

It’s an energy exchange.

Also, spend some time thinking about and journaling about how you feel about money. Do you have positive or negative thoughts around it? Do those thoughts consume you? Are you abundant or lack oriented in your thinking?

Do you believe money is the root of all evil? That it doesn’t grow on trees? Or, do you believe it is out there in abundance and anyone and everyone has the ability to generate as much or as little as they want?

Your thoughts in this area will drive the course of your business.

I’ll have some resources over in the show notes that can help work you through this obstacle.

When we first get started in Network Marketing, we are often told to make a list of everyone we know and use that to launch our business. And, a question I very often hear is - I am out of warm market, or, I don’t have enough warm market. Today, I’m going to give you some ideas for dealing with this issue!

Today’s show is brought to you by - SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

My inner circle coaching program has launched and in it you will find all of the tools, training and resources you need to build a successful network marketing business online and offline.

Success scripts, how to contact, invite, train and duplicate, along with how to attract an unlimited amount of leads online, who are pre sold on a business and looking.

Go to SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.

Thanks to Heidi Ryan, who asks today’s question and that is - I can’t find enough warm market to create momentum in my business. Help!

ANSWER

This is a question, challenge, dilemma or whatever you want to call it, that many of us face in our business. Here’s the harsh, cold reality of it, though - we are most often lying to ourselves.

Ouch! Sting!

I don’t mean to be harsh or call anyone out, but I know from my own lame excuses that lack of people we know, or people to talk to is not the challenge.

Being comfortable enough to approach them; and knowing what to say and how to take them through the process is the REAL challenge!

Every dud knows a stud.

Your job is not to enroll everyone you talk to into your Network Marketing business - or even anyone, for that matter. What?

Your job is to learn the number one skill that will make you millions - how to properly invite people to take a look.

That’s it. If you learn to treat your business like a serious business, it will produce for you like one. Over time, 1 in every 4 people you talk to will join you. 2 out of ten will do something, and about 1 in 100 will be a leader.

Knowing those odds, do you think you are willing to get started and be bad so you can be good, and get good so you can be great?

Success in inviting is a skill that is LEARNED and MASTERED. ANYONE, who can follow some simple coaching can learn it. You are no exception.

Work to lose you fear of rejection in Network Marketing. Carry fear with you into conversations and you will struggle.

Let go of your own agenda with people saying no, or people joining and you’ll sign people up.

Let’s quickly cover the basic memory jogger list for Network Marketing warm market lists -

Family

Friends and Acquaintances

Social Contacts

Business Contacts

Before I get into what to say, remember this -

When people are looking and open, you don’t have to sell, you just need to share. Some people are open and don’t realize they are looking. You just have to ask.

Someone who is currently closed is just that - and nothing you can say or do will change that.

IT’s not you, your company, your script, products, Network Marketing and so on.

But, that doesn’t mean they are closed to giving referrals when you approach them the right way.

So, what do you say - remember, this is all about making the Network Marketing invitation.

I’m going to share what I say, and you can fine tune this to fit your particular company, product and situation -

I have a specific business oriented question I want to ask you. I’m expanding a business that I’ve just started (or been working on) because I want to quit my job and be one of those people who makes money from home with my laptop that I’ve seen around. I know you are busy and this may not be for you, but you may know some people who want to benefit from the internet business options that you may refer me to.

I have the chance to earn a $600-1200 bonus this month, and am wondering if you can do me a favor -

When would you have 5 minutes to watch 2 short videos on your computer?

Or, I’ve started a business because I am really not a fit in the corporate world any more and I want to go out on my own, and I need your help. (Or, I need a favor. Or, I need your opinion.) I want to quit my job and be one of those people who makes money from home with my laptop that I’ve seen around. I know you are busy and this may not be for you, but you may know some people who want to benefit from the internet business options that you may refer me to.

I have the chance to earn a $600-1200 bonus this month, and am wondering if you can do me a favor -

When would you have 5 minutes to watch 2 short videos on your computer?

There are some key components here that set off some triggers.

You acknowledge they are busy and it may not be for them, letting them off the hook, so to speak.

You share your why, and may spark an emotional trigger - corporate America.

You share that you have the chance to earn a once bonus - sparking the thought potentially that they could, too.

You spark the thought of an internet bases home business - who doesn’t think that sounds kind of cool?

You’re asking for 5 minutes, not an hour or a kidney, right?

So, get the invitation down to a science. Have a few simple openers that roll off your tongue easily and naturally. Be confident, have belief, stand up, smile, Be enthusiastic. It’s not always what you say but how you feel about what you say!

Have fun, stick with it, power through and I’ll see you on the other side. I got there, so can you!

How can I sponsor others and have success online without a proven success story?

First, though, today’s show is brought to you by - SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

SPONSOR

Is it really possible to build a successful network marketing business online? To have people come to you, already sold on a business, already interested in Network Marketing? Yes it is, I have done it and you can, too. Learn more about my inner circle coaching program where I train you on the exact steps, systems and tools that I’ve used to sponsor over 1700 people personally into my Network Marketing business online at SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

Today’s question is….

How can I sponsor others and have success online without a proven success story?

ANSWER

Thanks Amir for that question.

We all start at square one, offline or online.

Surgeons don’t worry about having a success story when they are in pre-med, right? Attorney’s don’t when they are in law school.

How do you think they build success? The same way you are going to…from the ground up!

Here are some keys:

Have passion and enthusiasm!

Avoid hype and blatant sales.

Reach out to people who fall into FORM and ask questions through private message. Don’t blast with your Network Marketing opportunity, be sincere and genuine.

Be a 3D person, meaning make your updates social, fun/personal and business. Practice the 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 rule!

Offer value and education first, and the sign ups will come.

Be someone who is interested in others and you will become interesting.

Be consistent and engaged!

Success with social media is no different than offline. People are watching you so make sure your message fits your goals and who you are, what you stand for. Blend a 1/3,1/3,1/3 message. Watch for clues and take a sincere interest!

A lot of people wonder how to explain what it is we DO in Network Marketing. And, even - do I lead with the product or the business? Stay tuned for today’s answer……

First, though, today’s show is brought to you by - SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

SPONSOR

If you are ready to learn all aspects of building a successful network marketing business, from the basics of the business, to the steps to take your business online, and use the amazing tools of blogging, creating an email list of prospects and how to use social media sites like Facebook, LI, Twitter, GPlus, Pinterest to attract people to you who are already pre sold and looking for a home business, then my inner circle coaching program is for you! You’ll learn what works and how to build a freedom business of your dreams. - SocialMediaBackstagePass.com

Today’s question is….

How do I explain what we do in Network Marketing? We often choke up when someone says - what exactly is it that you do?

ANSWER

Thanks Sasha Simon for that question, and I love that name - it’s catchy!

Don’t get bogged down in features and a long explanation. Also, it’s okay to create curiosity, but be careful being too evasive as that can create suspicion and put a lot of people off.

Ideas of creating curiosity:

I help people create multiple income streams through a side business online.

I help moms quit the corporate gig and develop their own business at home.

Here is how to get more descriptive -

There are two sides to my business. Explain products and how you help people who….

Then, there is the business side. Kind of like a real estate broker, I look for others who are looking for more - more income on the side; maybe income replacement; and so on. I help them market our products and build a team of others, just like I am doing.

Do you know anyone who might be interested in that?

First, develop your phrase or elevator speech.

Product - I help people who……with a product that…..

Be careful to stay within regs. Share a story.

Business - I help people who….through my business marketing products that….and finding others who want to do the same.

IS this a pyramid? I’m not sure what you mean by a pyramid but let me tell you what we do and then you can call it whatever you want. How’s that?

I help people who….

The key is to become confident in what you are going to say when people ask what you do, or you have the opportunity to share it. The more you practice, the better you become and then easier it will roll off your tongue. When you have confidence, people will naturally be interested. Give it a try!

Today, I want to cover a topic that people ask a lot and that is how to build a business as a single mom, or dad.

We all have such busy schedules today and finding time to do anything extra can seem impossible at times.

But, as they say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

If you want to own your life, own your time, and to some degree, own your income, then you must MAKE the time and get very focused and serious about your time and calendar.

I did a previous show on this and it can be found at -

http://JackieUlmer.com/011

Success is about a few simple things -

Contact, Invite, Present, Follow Up, Sponsor, Train and Duplicate

Sounds oversimplified but it is true.

These are all business skills that can be developed.

So, let’s get into how to do this.

I recently received an email from a new team partner, looking to use online methods to build her business, who said -

I'm a recently divorced single mother of four daughters and my desire is to not only be the breadwinner in my household, but to make a great income while being a WAHM, like you. I was a WAHM when I was married and I want to do better financially as a WAHM now than when I was married. Can you show me how?

My answer is - You bet! Nothing I have done over the last 20 years is a secret or anything that anyone else “Can’t” do. It’s more often been a case of what others WON’T do to be successful. There are no tricks OTHER THAN -

Be very clear on your why;

be very clear on your commitment;

Talk to your family about your goals and involve them in the process.

never quit on a bad day;

be consistent;

put your blinders on and avoid the distraction of bright shiny objects.

Study, learn and master the business skills needed to be successful.

Talk to at least 2 people a day about your business, even if you are getting started using the internet as a tool.

As far as the online piece of it, there is nothing magical in any system that's being "sold" out there! Success takes hard work, period! Immerse yourself in the journey and have fun!

We must master the skill of finding out what another person really wants before we jump into sharing the details of what we offer.

This takes time and practice. Almost all of us start this process feeling a little rusty, like a fish out of water. It’s most often not something we have done before, so it’s normal to feel uncomfortable.

Start to get over this by becoming authentically interested in finding out why another person might also be interested in pursuing this journey with you.

Learn good success language to start and finish the process.

http://StreetSmartScripts.com

Set realistic goals and expectations for yourself. The financial side of this is so important.

As part of this email, this question was also asked -

I'd like to make six figures within 12 months. This goal means I need to earn $300 per day online starting now.

My answer to that -

That's a great goal to have out there, AND, it’s important to be realistic. Do you make 6 figures now? I only ask because there is a mindset shift that has to happen for most people to get there. Most people who want to climb Mt Everest won't make it the first year they start training. Even if they went full time and took massive action, it IS a process. Don't let that deter you. Just be realistic and again, focus on being consistent.

Setting too big of a goal can almost be worse than setting no goal at all, especially when it throws us into fear and scarcity mode, even subconsciously.

When someone has not really earned anything yet from their business, and then they need to be earning $300 a DAY right now, yikes!

That is most likely a Mt Everest type of goal.

First of all, one must understand the timeline of success and how momentum and growth occurs in this business.

You have to create momentum, and that doesn't happen overnight. The steps you take your first three months may not yield much in terms of tangible results. But, there is stuff going on behind the scenes that you don't know about! I promise. People begin watching and evaluating.

What you earn daily in month one will not be the same as month 3 or 6 and so on, if you are being consistent and are creating growth.

Your team members also must begin creating momentum to create the type of growth you are looking for. And, it can be a time process for them as well.

Think of your own story. Did you take action right away? What did your first few weeks or months look like in the business? Where did you excel? Where did you stumble? Have you had a pattern of starting and stopping, starting and stopping?

Expect that some on your team are going to do this as well. It’s not until we get a core group of builders on the team that things REALLY begin to happen, without us being the “driver” all of the time.

Let’s cover the specifics that must be consistent that I mentioned at the beginning -

Be very clear on your why; seriously, without a strong, powerful, compelling “must have” why, it is SO easy to procrastinate and ultimately give up, and blame a lot of things outside of our control for our lack of success. If you have not clearly defined a powerful why that compels, and I mean compels you to take action each day, that will be your #1 stumbling block and I encourage you to do that NOW, before you take a single other step.

Be very clear on your commitment; commitment involves making a decision. It’s not about hoping, wishing and just thinking about it. Look at other areas of your life and commitments you have made or not made. I like to use the gym as an example. Or diet, weight loss, fitness, etc.

It’s no mystery what it take to get in shape, lose weight and such. For most who are failing in this area, it’s just simply a lack of COMMITMENT, and follow through.

So, be honest with yourself and your level of commitment.

Thinking about your business is NOT the same as working your business although it can lull us into thinking that we are spending all this time and getting no where.

Talk to your family about your goals and involve them in the process. Explain why you are building your business and what they can expect from you; what you need from them; and open it up for questions. ASK THEM to assist and support you. Listen to my previous show on ways to involve them.

Never quit on a bad day; always give yourself the space of 24 hours to re-evaluate anything. Quitting is MUCH easier than seeing the job through.

Be consistent; this is much like commitment. Just do it!

Put your blinders on and avoid the distraction of bright shiny objects. This can be such a challenge and the reality is that only YOU can control it. Always ask - is this moving me closer to my goal. And, if so, how? Here is a tip - there are NO secrets. I don’t care what new company, new online system, social media plan and so on, that comes along. There is no flip to switch or overnight success way of doing things. Whatever it is takes work. My 20 years in this profession has proven this over and over.

Study, learn and master the business skills needed to be successful. We started with that, and these include -

Contact, Invite, Present, Follow Up, Sponsor, Train and Duplicate

Talk to at least 2 people a day about your business, even if you are getting started using the internet as a tool. While you are learning to

generate leads online, you still need to be contacting new people. Don’t use this as a reason to stop doing business building activities, just because you are developing a blog and so on.

Look at it this way - let’s say you have a jewelry store and you are moving to a new location. You don’t stop selling from the old location, or opening the store daily while the new one is being built. Or at least I hope not!

In closing, just remember that we all have the same 24 hours in the day, even as a single parent. Please go back and listen to my show on this topic at -

The requirements of success don’t change. The steps don’t change. We all most often need to burn some midnight oil to make the transition we want. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed, then got up at midnight, and worked until 2am and then went back to bed while I was learning the skills of the internet.

IT wasn’t ideal, but I knew for sure that those 2 hours were MINE and there would be no distractions from family or household stuff at that hour! Looking back, I don’t miss that sleep I didn’t get and I am SO glad I did it. Was it worth it? Absolutely. And, it takes discipline, I know.

Or get up earlier in the day. Think of the military. They have a slogan that goes something like - we get more done before the sun comes up than most people do all day….

All great things happen outside of our comfort zone!

ACTION ITEMS FOR YOU

Look at your calendar and see where you can create time for your business.

Determine your skill level at contacting, inviting and so on and see where you might need improvement and take steps to do just that - improve.

Schedule time to sit down with your family and discuss your plans, your commitment and how they can be involved!

BELIEVE that you can do it, because you CAN!
