Are you stuck in an endless, awkward pattern of following up with prospects who have said NO?

If you're doing this, it's time to STOP this approach.

Weird follow-ups like this are nothing but weak, veiled attempts to pitch them all over again.

And the only reason it's happening is because It's because you're reaching out with a SALES mindset.

Now is the time to shift from a SALES mindset into a mindset of SERVICE.

And in this Biz Tip Friday, I'm sharing with you exactly how to do that --- the fastest way to effectively turn NOs into YES's.

I promise, this strategy will help you overcome your fear of following back up with prospects and will get you the results that you want.

Do you ever feel you're not getting the support you need in your business?

That's exactly how Anne-Marie was feeling about her company – and it was this struggle that I coached her through on an incredibly powerful Hot Seat call recently.

Today, I'm sharing with you that live coaching session that I did with Anne-Marie from our advanced leadership coaching program called Next Level Leadership.

Anne-Marie, is a mother of 3, born French-Canadian, and is currently living in Quebec.

And while she's built a phenomenally successful team in the US, she's struggling big time to develop her business in French-speaking Quebec where she now lives.

The big obstacle in her way, she feels, is that her company provides NO support materials in French.

But as we chatted and worked through the issue, we figured that the real issue is not the lack of materials, but rather how she looks at the circumstances and creates the story in her mind.

In this episode, you'll hear us talk about how to let go of control, the value of delegating and elevating your team, and how to reframe your story to turn obstacles into opportunities.

I know all of you are going to get so much value out of this. Enjoy!

In this week's Biz Tip Friday, I'll be sharing my Top 5 business productivity apps.

These are ones that many of you have never heard of but absolutely need in your business whether it's for social media content, managing prospect flow, scheduling, communication etc.

#1 Trello (www.trello.com)

Trello is a project management platform. You can use it for managing and keeping track of prospects, project management, and content planning for social media.

#2 Slack (www.slack.com)

Slack is a team communication platform that allows you to set up channels for leadership groups, challenge groups, daily accountability, etc. I think of it as replacing email.

#3 Community (www.community.com)

Community is a text messaging or text marketing platform that allows you to create a very powerful, intimate, direct way of communication with customers, team members, and prospects.

#4 Bomb Bomb (www.bombbomb.com)

Bomb Bomb is a video email marketing platform which I use to record videos right on my phone and send it by TEXT or EMAIL. It's best used for recognition for team members, customers, prospects - appreciation, etc.

#5 Voxer (www.voxer.com)

Voxer is a walkie talkie voice messaging app. I LOVE this app because I can do real time voice communication for individual coaching and support with new recruits and leaders.

There you go! Go ahead and play with them, and let me know what are your favorites.

We are smack dab in the middle of the craziness that is election season, and when someone shares opinions you passionately disagree with ... what will you do?

Over the next couple of weeks your social media is going to BLOW UP with people's opinions.

The big question though is..

Why do we feel so threatened when others have different political view than us?

And, why would it make us feel differently about them and respect them less?

Every one of us will always have different opinions politically.

But in every moment we also have the power to choose to act from a place of LOVE or FEAR.

We can either RESPOND or REACT.

However, what happens most of the time is we immediately REACT... And the more reacting we do, the less empowered we are.

In this episode, I'm going to show what it means to act from a place of LOVE.

Why, as leaders, we must seek to first UNDERSTAND before being UNDERSTOOD.

One of the most important qualities you will ever possess as a leader is your ability to lead and connect with people that are different from you.

It's about choosing LOVE even when it's difficult, frustrating, or inconvenient.

Are you running nonstop on the 'content treadmill?' You're hustling and bustling on social media…but it's just not really translating into a growing team?

Here's the trap that most network marketers fall into...

They do live videos (Facebook Live/Instagram Stories), they've got customers signing up, but what's frustrating is they don't seem to attract the best quality people.

Here's the #1 reason why: They are focusing too much time creating content around their products.

Here's what I want you to do instead: Reinvent on how you show up on social media.

And I share with you exactly how to do that on this week's Biz Tip Friday podcast.

I tell you, implement what I'm about to share with you, and you will be amazed by what it does for your business.

How can you break through weeks, months, or even YEARS of limiting beliefs…to finally build the business of your dreams?

On today's podcast, I'm thrilled to chat with Tami Cribbs, who is a phenomenal example to all of us of the power of not EVER giving up.

Tami has been in the direct sales profession for 34 years, and during that time she's been with 9 different companies. But she had still not experienced the kind of success and breakthrough that she had seen so many others experience.

But she never gave up!

Why? Because she had the overwhelming BELIEF that network marketing was what she was meant to do. This was her calling from God.

However, Tami was also holding on to a whole bunch of other, conflicting beliefs about herself.

Yes, she 100% believed this was the right path for her –

AND at the exact same time she was telling herself all kinds of Red Light Stories that were holding her back, like …

✘ "I'm not good enough"

✘ "people don't like me"

✘ "I need to learn more before I can really put myself out there" ...

Join me for this conversation with Tami as she shares exactly what she did to shift her beliefs. And how this mindset transformation lead to Tami's team growing to over 400 people with 30 promotions and increasing her monthly volume to over $20k.

Listen as Tami shares her business journey, the mindset shifts for success, the value of coaching, and the powerful role of faith in her success. Exciting!

What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘Reach Out?’ -- SALES, right?

This is one of the biggest reasons why people struggle in creating results…

…they think that Network Marketing is a Sales Business.

But, here’s the thing – as long as you’re focused on yourself, you’ll always struggle with FEAR and OVERWHELM when it comes to prospecting.

Here’s why - sales is just about YOU - it’s about GETTING. 

And that makes us feel selfish and uncomfortable – and rightfully so!

Make sure to check out Episode #173 – ‘Network Marketing is NOT a Sales Business’ (https://yourvirtualupline.com/podcast/episode173/)

Today, I’d like to propose that you completely erase the word ‘reach out’ from your vocabulary.

What if instead of ‘reaching out’ and ‘prospecting’ people, you looked at what you do as SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH OTHERS?

What if instead of focusing on making sales or getting new recruits (Sales Mindset), you spread LOVE by helping people solve problems and transform their lives (Service Mindset).

SERVICE is about OTHERS.  It’s about GIVING before getting.

This is the change I want you to begin in your business starting today.
