1. More people don’t know you than do
2. You have more credibility with strangers
3. You must prospect to grow your business
Prospecting is basically talking to people to see if your particular business can help someone improve their current situation.
Recruiting is sharing information about what you do to help relieve one of the stresses people have.
Hello again…I just returned from a weeks vacation and picked up a copy of John C. Maxwell’s “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”. I suggest if you have not read it you take the time and pick up a copy. It will give you some eye-opening and jaw-dropping moments that will most definitely help you in your journey towards greatness in the network marketing industry and more importantly life.
Over the past year or so I have written many blog post and today I am going to deviate from what network marketing is and I am not going to discuss the many intricacies as it relates to this industry. Today is all about why I became involved in this wonderful industry.
First, I took a long hard look at my life and I realized that all of my years in the work force had not gotten me to the point where I felt I could truly live the type of lifestyle I wanted once I retired. Retirement is suppose to be the time when you sit back, relax, travel the world,and do just about anything you want to do when you want to do it. There is only one problem. I can not see how that would truly be possible with the way the economy is and the constant rise in inflation. What I am putting in my 401 could not keep up with those two prior things I just mentioned. Not only that, my increases were not covering the rising cost of insurance for me and my family. In essence I was going backwards every year. Fortunately for me someone introduced me to this industry and although I am not at the level I strive to be, there will be a day when I can say that retirement is directly in front of me and it did not take 20-40 years to achieve it either.
Secondly, it is my duty to make sure that others who feel the same way are introduced to network marketing so that they to can have the same options as I am building for me and my family. There is another avenue out there and if you are willing to put in the work, follow a set pattern of doing things, work with integrity and show this business to others you to can have that retirement directly in front of you and not be relegated to 20-40 years of dedication and hard work and still not feel that you are where you need to be when it comes to retiring.
Success is within you,

Hello,
You have undoubtedly heard about the economy and how it is starting to improve. The question still remains is it improving to the point where more jobs are going to be created here in the USA to replace those jobs that have been cut in the last 18-24 months. If you are one of the fortunate to not have been affected count your blessings. Even at that rate I would sugges you come up with a “Plan B” just in case something happens unexpectedly with “Plan A”. Many people have turned to network marketing in order to supplement their current income with the potential to replace that plan A income altogether.
I am not here to tell anyone what to do but I would say use the boy scout motto and always be prepared.

Hello everyone,
This will be my last post before the holidays.
I have been playing around with skype a little bit and you may be asking yourself how can “Skype” help my network marketing business. In case some of you do not know what skype is. It is software that you can download from the internet for free and it allows you to dial your friends for free and be able to have a live video call with the person as long as both parties have a webcam and speakers. It is a pretty neat piece of software.
This can help your business two fold. First of all, what about having your prospect view a presentation about your business opportunity and being able to instantly stop them at any point and talk face to face to them via skype. What an awesome presentation you could put forth and the prospect will more than like think this person has their act together. Second of all, you build instant credibility with your prospect when he/she sees you live via a video feed from pc to pc. The prospect now sees you as a real live being and not just some autoresponder or blogger or faceless person on the phone.
I suggest you add this to your methods of talking to prospects but as I stated this will only work in they too have a webcam or speakers. If you and some friends have a webcam just test it out and play around with it until you feel comfortable and add it as a powerful resources to building relationships and your business.
I wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Rodney
