Have you ever struggled with following up with your prospects? If so, today’s show is for you as we will cover several areas and types of follow up.

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….

As I mentioned, if follow up has been a struggle for you, join me over the next few minutes as I provide some tips on how and when to do this effectively!

ANSWER

First let me share the story of someone in the business. Ron Forrester was already a success in the eyes of many as a pharmacist, and was probably on quite a few chicken lists. 7 years of asking and re-asking to take a look, come to a meeting and such.

Finally, he said yes. Today, he and his wife are top income earners and enjoy retirement freedom. Would you like to have sponsored him? Would you have been willing to swallow your pride, or get out of your own way and continue to invite him for 7 years?

There are hundreds if not thousands of stories out there just like this.

My own story is like this.

Let’s talk about 2 types if follow up -

After you have shown the business.

And, after you have contacted someone who has said no to taking a look.

After you have shown the business -

First, ask to join. If they say no, set follow up appt before you end the presentation.

Follow up. Continue to follow up 3 times, and then do take away, but leave the door open.

Recontact the next month, and the next month, and then every 4-6 months after.

Simple success language - share new updates, expansion, life changes.

Use direct mail postcards. This is powerful. SendOutFunCards.com simple, powerful option.

After you have contacted someone who has said no to taking a look.

Recontact every 4-6 months.

Simple success language - share new updates, expansion, life changes.

Use direct mail postcards.

Share your own success stories in a way that is not about hype, but very casual and day to day.

Keep it fun, light, upbeat and avoid pressure.

ALWAYS ask for referrals.

Starting a business of our own means being the boss, the one who sets the calendar and writes the job description, and more. Often, we don’t have a lot of time to build a business part time, so it can replace our full time income, so what should we do to stay most productive?

Along with the amazing resources the Internet brought us in terms of expanding our reach and sponsoring people we have never even met face to face, it also create a situation called “Sponsor Shopping”, something that seldom occurred before the internet.

Today’s question is….

How to a make my Network Marketing prospects from the Internet interested in joining me and not someone else?

Thanks Amir Izaq Hakkim, for another great question that I am sure many have.

ANSWER

Do a personal inventory.

What is your benefit statement.

Be prepared to let them know what they can expect from you, should they join you.

Ask them - what’s important to you in your Network Marketing sponsor?

Provide good follow up - share Don’t story with Darren.

Be consistent online, so you stay top of mind.

And, at the end of the day, you’ll win some and lose some. I have. IT’s okay, let it go. Don’t be afraid to ask what you might have done better, or different.

You’ll find the right ones for you!

Donnie Walker introduces Glenn W Turner

Glenn: I belong to the greatest nation in the world - Determi-NATION.

I dropped out of school in 8th great, in South Carolina and started selling sewing machines door to door, until I was 32 years old. Met a 19 year old fellow who had made $16,000 in 30 days in 1966 and he recruited me. My dad and uncle put up $5000 for me to get started, and that’s what I did.

My second month I earned $28, 500, third month $80,000.

Back then, I bought a Cadillac Eldorado for $7,000.

Went into business for himself after 8 months with a company called Holiday Magic.

First month -

$67,000 in sales, second month earned $33,000 and by the third month I was at $342,000 and went up from there and by second year I was doing $33 million. And, then highest year was $150 million and that was when money was more!

Then, I opened a company called Koscot, a cosmetic company. From there I owned 78 corporations, owned 19 aircraft flying around the country and we put on presentations.

It was $5,000 to attend a seminar and it was motivational. Less than 1% complaints, but some of my competitors didn’t like it.

The president of my Board of Directors was 23 years old.

Everyone made money except this who sat around and complained about what was going on in the world.

Had one of the first black president’s of a major company.

7 women became millionaires in four years in my company and one was a black woman, a maid! Many became multi millionaires and hundreds became wealthy. Developed many preachers and priests.

Started Dare to be Great in 1969. About confidence, goal setting, attitude and how to become a public speaker.

Lived in the village of “Anything is Possible.”

Didn’t worry about those who said bad things about us - we had a choice, let it in or keep it out. I decided to keep it out.

Jackie: you have a huge passion about personal development and mindset. Were you raised this way or how did it develop?

Glenn : I love people and have no prejudice. Color, race, gender - it doesn’t matter to me.

Trying to get even with people who stick it to you is a waste of time. If you had their mod, dads, teachers and backgrounds, you’d be sticking it to you, too.

My website is GlennWTurner.com - I sell positive mindset CDs.

I am 80 years young, don’t drink or smoke and my goal is to help more people before I die than any man who has ever lived outside of Jesus Christ.

Jackie: Sounds like you are well on your way. You ran into some legal challenges with Network Marketing. Tell us about that.

Glenn: There were no laws so the government accused me of making laws. Finally, I settles on a misdemeanor and after speaking in Arizona, to make a long story short, they indicted me on aiding and abetting running a pyramid scheme.

I didn’t take it seriously because I was running for United States Senate and almost got it. I had also run for Congress.

Spent 4 years and 8 months in the prison system, and it was the best time of my life. I became a driver, I finished my high school education and was paid 15 cents an hour by the prison. I became a janitor and was paid 25 cents and hour and the third year I headed up the library and was paid 35 cents.

The fourth year I became a state driver and was paid 60 cents an hour, so I tripled my income in 4 years.

Jackie: What did you do when you came out?

Glenn: I had a year probation, so I couldn’t do much of anything, but a lot of my friends helped me while I was in there. They would ask me if I was running a scam.

I started doing some public speaking for different companies. I got out in 1992 and never had any trouble then.

Jackie: What would you say the secret to your own personal success is?

Glenn: Never quit, no matter what. If your gonna quit cause it rains, you’re going to quit. If you are going to quit because your husband or wife doesn’t like it, something is always going to make you want to quit. Stickability - the ability to stick like a postage stamp until you reach your destination yet.

Jackie: People struggle with fear, especially about Network Marketing, what do you have to say about that?

Glenn: If it was a woman and you were a man, what would you do? Would you have fear or keep at it until she says I’ll marry you. You have to have the same desire!

The body is more powerful than the mind but you have to get the mind in charge again.

Jackie: How did you go about starting your business?

Glenn: In Holiday Magic, when I got within 3 foot of anyone, I was excited. You wouldn’t be on this earth if someone didn’t get excited. When you are excited, people want to know what you are excited about; they want to be excited, too. They want to be happy like you. If you aren’t happy, you gotta pretend you are happy until you get happy!

Donnie: You crack me up, Glenn.

Glenn: Well, it’s true and Donnie you are one of the most fascinating young men.

Donnie: I first met Glenn he was speaking in Florida and I had no idea who he was. He had one liner after one liner. I had heard of him but never met him and when I heard, I thought “wow, you gotta be kidding!” We were instantly drawn to each other.

Jackie: What were some of your takeaways Donnie?

Donnie: His tenacity and desire, he’s been knocked down so many times and most people would have quit. But, his desire to go, keep it up…that’s what draws me to Glenn Turner. I had a grandfather figure who was like that. I get that old knowledge and that experience. It’s inspiring, when you call him he is never down, always upbeat and never down. We face a lot of adversity in this world but not with Glenn. I want to learn more about how that works.

Glenn: Confidence is a bull fighter who goes into the bull ring with mustard already on his sword. Life is too short to be unhappy. Happiness comes from within and not without. Nobody can make you happy but yourself. God Almighty but you on this earth to be a special king or queen of the earth.

Jackie: Did you have that confidence when you were little?

Glenn: People laughed at the way I talked because I was born with a hairlip. So, I told jokes, sang songs through my nose and people would laugh at me and I pretended they were laughing with me. When I got grown, I wanted people to love me.

I never had a pair of shoes until I was 9. We were poor with an outhouse. I had 4 brothers and a sister, and I was the oldest. But I was blessed.

I had a handicap but I got it out of my mind and out on the lip where it belongs. Everyone has a handicap, some of us are too fat, too skinny, too black, too white, too Greek, too Jewish. We gotta hang up our hangup.

Jackie: Any advice for someone getting started today, knowing your struggles and yet great successes?

Glenn: In order to be a success don’t give up first. You gotta lay out a goal, make so may calls a day, use the phone. Although I like things in person. It’s so easy to be a multi millionaire. There is no shortage of money, some people just hold onto it.

People are worried about the economy, and Obama, George Bush, Bill Clinton. IF you don’t like them, vote them out!

Donnie: Glenn is having an 80th birthday party in August, the week of the 19th.

Glenn: It’s on my website and my Facebook page.

Donnie: He’s hitting 80 years old, and he’s one of the oldest networkers out there!

Glenn: I’ll still be doing this when I’m 169.

Donnie: He already has a network built in the big world.

Glenn: Be sure and look me up when you come to Orlando, Donnie has my number.

Jackie: I’ll make sure all of that is in the show notes, any final thoughts?

Glenn: Everyone wants to be somebody, help them, don’t hang em!

Bye!

Here are a few other things you need to know about Glenn W Turner.

In that first company, Holiday Magic, Zig Ziglar was also a distributor but Glenn was outselling Zig so he didn’t go to Zig’s training classes. He was already making $30,000 monthly. According to Glenn, Zig told him he probably wouldn’t make it!

Glenn’s philosophy is to help someone get their money back and then it’s up to them. 30% will make it.

Whatever you put in your mind is what comes out. It’s like learning a language. If your parents speak to you in Russian, you speak Russian. What you feed your head is what comes out.

Good stuff to keep in mind. So, some action steps for YOU!

ACTION STEPS:

Do a mindset check up. What are you complaining about?

Have you quit before you’ve really started?

Layout some goals and commit to your daily actions!

It can be a struggle when you get “taken out of the game”, perhaps you have a slow down in your Network Marketing business because of something that has happened in your life; a fight with a spouse; or maybe you just got lazy or experienced burn out.

Today’s question is….

How do you regroup and get going again when you’ve stepped back from your Network Marketing business.

SPEAKPIPE

Thanks to Dayna Camp for asking a question that I know many people have experienced and wonder about.

ANSWER

Take a deep breath.

Dig out that why, and see if it is still relevant or needs updating.

Have a conversation and some good communication with those close to you, if that’s the problem. Don’t ask them to join you or even understand. Just ask them to support you, even if silently. Even if it’s just encouraging you to stick with something.

Write out a daily method of operation.

Create a new vision statement or dream book. Surround yourself with reminders; pictures, cards, posters, post it notes.

Do SOMETHING every day in your business.

Every day is a new day and a chance to turn it all around!

When we start marketing online, and putting our business out there so that those who are interested and looking for a Network Marketing business can find us, it’s tempting to wonder how fast it will happen, and how we can generate massive numbers of leads, just like the hype, smoke and mirrors promises. It can seem overwhelming, right?

Today’s Network Marketing question is….

How do I find dozens of people online for my Network Marketing business and how do I avoid overwhelm?

Thanks to Amir Isaq Hakkim for the question. I hope I pronounced your name right.

ANSWER

2 parts to the question, attracting prospects and avoiding overwhelm.

Let’s start with attracting prospects.

It starts with your system, and the content you create that attracts and engages others.

It’s not about hype and blatant advertising, although we are tempted to do that.

I learned this from my experiences early on when participating on discussion boards, groups and forums online before social media sites.

I had a plan:

Engage and attract.

Bring back to my website or blog.

Capture their name, email, and sometimes other details such as phone and address.

Contact them personally as soon as possible, even though my auto responder was delivering information instantly.

Follow up, follow up, follow up.

Do this over and over again until success shows up.

And, it did.

Now, about avoiding overwhelm.

This typically happens when we are chasing bright shiny objects online.

I have avoided overwhelm because I have followed a specific system and daily method of operation, for nearly 15 years.

Blog and create content.

Market that content.

Show up online where my target audience hangs out.

Offer support, coaching, ideas, tips and build rapport.

Work with the once who come back to my site and “opt-in”

Do this over and over again.

Try it and see what begins to show up.

A question I am often asked by those outside in Network Marketing is - I can see that the internet works for you, but will it work for me and my company?

Today’s question is…. It’s worked for you, but is it possible for me, with my Network Marketing company, to build a business and sponsor people I meet through the Internet.

ANSWER

Marketing is Marketing - I was taught by Internet marketers, selling everything from used car secrets, to penny stock sales, to how to make money online.

These days, everything sells online.

3 million plus people a day go online looking for a business.

You aren’t selling your company.

You aren’t selling your company’s products

It’s not whether IT will work, it’s whether you will work.

Layout your strategy and blogging/online plan; begin to take action on it; stay consistent; don’t give up when things don’t show up immediately. They seldom do; but with time, they will.

Today’s question is - I need a mentor, you say you can show me, teach me, train me….

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

Today’s question is….

Thanks to Mike for today’s question -

I need a mentor, you say you can show me, teach me, train me….

ANSWER

Now, the interesting thing about this question is that I reached out to Mike and called him, but I never heard back. So, Mike, if you hear this, I’m ready to work with you, if you are serious and ready.

Here is the thing to note for anyone looking for a mentor and making a DECISION to take action.

There is a difference between wishing, hoping, wanting, needing and so on….

The difference is called making a decision and then a commitment. It’s letting go of any and all excuses holding you back. These include -

No time.

No money.

Don’t know enough people.

Don’t know how to start.

Don’t know how to use the Internet.

And so on. Name your favorite excuse here.

I can show, train, teach, coach and share everything I possibly know and have done, but I can not do it for another person.

We are all personally tasked with the responsibility of clearing through the clutter and obstacles in our way, or that we perceive to be in our way.

All it takes to get from Point A to Point Z in ANYTHING is the ability and willingness to overcome a set of challenges and obstacles. It’s learning to reframe the way we see things, the questions we ask ourselves and the words we speak to and about ourselves.

Before seeking a mentor, make sure you are really ready to commit and make a decision. There is ALWAYS someone out there who is ready and willing to commit to your success IF and WHEN you are also equally, if not more committed.

Okay, let’s get to today’s show, which is how to avoid that Summer Business Slow down, or in other words, get ready NOW for summer!

And, my apologies for not getting this show out SOONER! Now that I am an empty nester, I forgot about this crucial time of year!

There are extra activities, kids home from school and vacations.

In fact, as you listen to this, I am in Rome, about to return from a 14 day vacation with my daughter, cruising the eastern mediterranean. A bucket list cruise for sure, thanks to my business.

And, I do remember the days of fretting over the upcoming summer and what would happen with my business…

My struggles with this:

Small Children, home from school

Hot Phoenix Summer

Lots of Excuses

I didn’t adequately prepare

Here are some tips for getting ready and we’ll cover that super important topic of how to prepare and work your business with kids, and then also when you go on vacation. Offline and online.

Kids:

Communicate.

Calendar and make plans of things you want to do this summer, activities and vacation.

Zoo, water park, camping - don’t be afraid to add this in as a reward for help getting things done.

Use chore charts - get kids involved. They do love to help.

Plan meals together and give them each duties. Teach them to clean up and then you use that time for follow up calls.

Let go of perfectionism, if you struggle with that!

Babysitting coop - see show notes for details!

Meetings? Schedule babysitters ahead and be prepared. No last minute frenzy.

Bulk up on prospecting and follow up calls now.

Squeeze small blocks of time in later.

Don’t be afraid to let people know you are home with the kids, and please excuse the background noise, that is one of the benefits of working from home! Sell what you can! Sell the benefits.

I used to use this as an excuse….

Lifestyle - talk to other moms and parents as you are out and about!

Vacations - plan ahead, again. Change your voice mail message to let people know when to expect to hear back from you. Sell the dream! You are on vacation!!!

Set away auto responders on your email and communicate with your team that you will be gone!

Also, postcards are a great thing to send to your hot prospects…a wish you were there…when you have a fabulous vacation! Plan ahead with addresses and stamps so you can buy, write, post and go!

Want to send postcards and cards with your family and vacation photos that you can upload while still on vacation and have them mailed out for you?

http://SendOutFunCards.com

Online:

Set up blog posts NOW and set the date to post on specific days. If you do a blog post a week, you can work some double time now to get them done for summer.

Same with shooting videos, and really any type of content you create online. I do this with my podcasts, too.

You can also preschedule Tweets, LinkedIn Updates and your Facebook business page updates.

Use down times to jump on your mobile apps to keep connected (loosely) to Social media.

And, remember, you deserve some time off, too. Just because you work from home, and/or run your business online does NOT mean you can’t ever disconnect.

Remember, email is someone else’s agenda for YOU, as is any type of inbox. You control your time and your agenda!

Today’s question is….

Thanks to Teresa Johnson for today’s question……

Where are all of the women leaders and mentors? Women are often the ones getting it done and yet it’s the men on stage.

ANSWER

This is a timeless question, one that women have asked for years - where are all of the women leaders and mentors? Why do we hear that there are more women in network marketing and yet it’s the men who dominate the stage and the top income earners, typically, unless it’s a company that focuses primarily on women’s products?

Are we not asked? Do we not want to be there?

Networking Times has dedicated an entire issue each year to women, and have repeatedly asked this question.

My conclusion, personally - it’s a combination.

Men just seem to mostly network quite often better with men. Men come to mind when they are thinking of leaders.

Women - not a priority for us. Mentor better one on one. Want our people on the stage. Don’t like public speaking. Don’t crave public recognition as much. Balance with family and business.

Sit down with a group of women network marketers over lunch at a convention or event and you'll often find the conversation much different than that of the men. Instead of talking about the latest strategy to "max out the compensation plan", women will be actively engaged in finding out more about each other – families, jobs, interests, hobbies.

While this group may have just met for the first time, by the time lunch is over, many are well on their way to becoming great friends and already know much about the personal side of each other. Through this, we develop support systems to uplift and empower each other. And, we learn and develop good communication, listening and business skills.

Women are born to "get it done." We are multi-taskers by nature and wear the hats of mom, wife, bread winner, caretaker, friend, volunteer, shuttle service and more! Our primary focus is most often family, friends and home. This is exactly why a home business in Network Marketing is perfect for women. Our homes are the center of our universe and it only makes sense that we should make our living while at home, with our children by our side.

Being a mom requires flexibility. It doesn't fit into an 8-5 routine and that is exactly why corporate America is not a fit for so many of us. Network Marketing allows us to work a business on our own time schedule and fit all of the pieces of the "time puzzle" in to get everything done.

Women make such a difference in the network marketing environment because of their very nature of being nurturers, encouragers and supporters. We are the cheerleaders and love nothing more than to empower others to believe in themselves, even when we often have our own self doubt to deal with. While we all love recognition, we love nothing more than seeing those on our team reach the top and get recognized.

Network Marketing builds the inner confidence women need to succeed through product sales (yes, I said "sales" and it is not a dirty word!); team building and developing their own income through their own efforts. These successes and business skills are priceless and will serve us in all areas of our lives.

Women also think differently about money. We certainly want to do well financially, and enjoy the finer things in life. But our mission for earning money is often motivated to some degree by how we can make a difference in the lives of others, through the income we earn. A study by Thomas J. Stanley in "The Millionaire Next Door" shows that of female millionaires, the average donation to charitable causes is 7% of her annual income. That is almost three and one half times the average of most households in the U.S.

All of this together shows why Network Marketing is such a perfect fit for women. We can pursue our dreams and passions, while sharing an opportunity to "have it all" with others in our circle of influence. We aren't forced to choose between our job and our families. We can truly make a difference in the lives of others and enrich our families at the same time. It doesn’t get any better than that.

This is how we extend our leadership into the network marketing arena. Not always so much from being on stage.

And, having said that, we need more women on stage, so don’t be afraid to throw your hat in the ring and set that as a goal! That’s a win win for everyone!

What woman can you reach out to today and share this opportunity with?
