In this episode of the VN² PowerUp Podcast we tackle the all important topic of leadership. Most of you already know this, but building a successful business will take great leadership. Sometimes that can be a lonely place; especially when you are going against the grain of the status quo (like the VN² strategy). So we invited an expert in the field of leadership to join the discussion—Ted Ma, who also built a very large network marketing organization prior to launching a very successful speaking business.
These days, Ted is an award-winning speaker that helps companies develop leaders, increase production and reduce turnover. He has spoken for audiences as large as 10,000 and has shared the stage with Mel Robbins, John Maxwell, and Jack Canfield.
Unlike many leadership experts, Ted has been leading teams and developing leaders for over 16 years. His unique perspective on leadership comes from his experience building an international team of thousands upon thousands of independent distributors, reaching the top 1% in that company. His success in the field led to him co-creating a training program used by over 100,000 sales associates.
Ted was named one of Databird Research Journal's top 100 Keynote Speakers for 2019 and has been featured in numerous publications including Kiplinger, CNBC, Inc, and the New York Times. He is a member of the National Speakers Association, Global Speakers Federation, and Toastmasters International.
Listen as Rocco & Jodi pick Ted’s brain on some of the difficulties that come along with change. We also spend some time on how good leaders can separate their brand from their ego (that is a big one for social media!).

We feel one of the main responsibilities of VN² PowerUp Podcast is to empower you (our audience) with ideas, tools, concepts, strategies and insights about how to change the rest of the world’s perception about the network marketing industry—so more people will want to join your team.
Over the past few episodes, we talked quite a bit about how to use social media to make new connections of PowerBase recruiting prospects. We also introduced you to some great technology ideas to help you manage your prospects and tell your story with RapidFunnel mobile app.
But what do you say when it comes time to actually speak to your prospects? With that question in mind, we couldn’t think of a better guest to have on our show than Phil M. Jones. Phil is the author of five international best-selling books including: Exactly What To Say; Exactly How To Sell (and recruit); and Exactly Where To Start. He had his first business at just 14 years of age and is the youngest recipient of the “British Excellence in Sales and Marketing” award. To date, more than two million people, across 57 different countries have benefited from his lessons, And as a result, they now know exactly what to say, when to say it AND… EXACTLY how to make more of their conversations count.
Are you ready to learn these magic words? Magic words are a set of words that talk straight to the subconscious brain; which is a powerful tool in decision-making because it is pre-programmed through our conditioning to make decisions without over analyzing them. Working a little like a computer—it has only “yes” and “no” outputs and can never land on a “maybe”. Using words that talk straight to the part of the brain that is free from maybes and responds on reflex gives you a fair advantage in conversation and can result in you getting your own way more often.
Trust us...you DO NOT want to miss this episode.

In this episode of the VN² PowerUp Podcast, we introduce you to Patrick Shaw. He is the founder & CEO of RapidFunnel, a company that is taking the network marketing industry by storm with their mobile app SaaS product (software-as-a-Service).

That is just a small benefit of using a tool like RapidFunnel for your business. It will also tell you if your prospect opens a resource, how much of a video was viewed. It allows you to rate your hottest prospects and send email drip campaigns for following up. RapidFunnel even gamifies your income-producing activity so you can incent and monitor your team.

On this episode of the VN² PowerUp Podcast, Rocco and Jodi welcome a proud millennial branding and web design specialist, Tova Herskovitz. Tova is a joyful mother of 4 and co-founder of a digital design and social media agency: Boss Brands.
Listen as they kick around a variety of topics including why Tova’s primary social media platform is LinkedIn; which seems to be quite different from the rest of her generation that have dominated the scene on Instagram. We also dive deep into personal branding and how important creating an AUTHENTIC brand is. Why is that? In Tova’s words…”You don’t have to fabricate anything on LinkedIn...and you don’t have to compete with the Kardashians to develop a real brand presence.”
Tova calls Rocco “Grandpa’ before jumping into conversation with Jodi about the values of being a female entrepreneur. Listen today for some fresh perspective from this rising millennial’s playbook.
In this episode, Rocco and Jodi explain why recruiting for your business on social media requires patience. You have to be willing to play the “long game”. Having patience helps on an emotional level as well as a strategic level.
Here is what we mean:
First we look at the emotional level. Psychologists Don Kelley and Daryl Connor wrote a white paper titled “The Emotional Cycle of Change” (ECOC), which includes five stages of emotional experience when we are faced with change. Change takes time to get use to and it gets ugly if we don’t know what to expect. Rocco unpacks each stage of the ECOC starting at Uninformed Optimism, moving to Informed Pessimism, to the Valley of Despair, to Informed Optimism, and finally to Success. If you are moving to a social-first recruiting strategy, rest assured that you will go through this process. Being aware of this process will keep you from quitting when you don’t see immediate results.
On a strategic level, having patience keeps you from being more than just all the other “noise” on social media. Jodi explains how to get past the noise by playing the long game with your content being both relevant and relatable to your audience. Most people post relevant content, but they have a tough time also making it relatable. Your success requires BOTH!

In this inaugural episode, our show hosts (Rocco Sileo and Jodi Gilano) introduce themselves and unpack what the theme of the VN² PowerUp Podcast is all about: a rebellion against traditional network marketing recruiting strategies.
Every December, about 16% of the american adult population indicate that they intend to start a business in the new year. That’s the equivalent of 44 million people (See the link below if you want to reference these numbers). Statistically, only 1% of those people will actually take the plunge. Why does everyone else stay on the sidelines?
There are three barriers needed to be removed in order to start a successful business:
For years, the network marketing industry thrived because it removed all three of those barriers. However, within the past decade, the marketing strategy for the industry has unraveled because most people’s warm market have turned cold on them.
Instead of spending a ton of energy trying to figure out why this has happened, Rocco and Jodi spend the bulk of the time in this episode exploring a new strategy in the age of social media. Once you learn this new strategy, you will be able to unlock the floodgates for the above mentioned 44 million people who like to be business owners. Listen and learn how to trade in your old warm market list for a new list of PowerBase connections.
