What Does Your Business Card Say About You? - Making A Great First Impression!
Interesting article in USA Today that I read this week that I've also read about on Scott Ginsberg's blog. Think about this: What does your business card say about you? If you work in a company that requires you to conform to the corporate standard, obviously you don't have much choice. For the rest, what are you doing to stand out in a crowd of many?A few suggestions from me that may or not be found in the above articles:Use wild, interesting colors.

When you are involved with a company with excellent marketing materials, it greatly increases your chances for success. You have high quality packages of information to give to your prospects, and you can send them to the company web site, hot lines, or conference calls. You also need a sponsor or upline support to help you to follow up with your interested prospects. Your sponsor will help you present your opportunity with a three-way cal to your prospect.

Good Contracts Make Good Clients
This January marks the tenth anniversary of the Advertising & Marketing Review Website, and to mark the occasion this column is about how the Website was initially funded. It’s a cautionary tale about the necessity of having a good contract whenever doing contract work.While working at Apple In 1995, I ran into someone looking for a writer to adapt a lecture series on multimedia production to a book format. Since I had recently worked at Radius as Beta Site Coordinator introducing a variety of breakthrough multimedia products to Hol

Just like in any business, failure to attract new customers will inevitably lead to failure. Therefore, it is imperative to the success of any network marketing business to have an effective marketing plan.

There are two marketing models in network marketing. They are:

Sales Model

This approach advocates having a new distributor make a list of 100 people they know that they could introduce to the opportunity. Once the list is completed, the new distributor and his sponsor call each name on the list, attempting to sell the person your opportunity or product. However, 90% of the people who utilize this model fail because the odds of finding a qualified customer in any average group of 100 people is very low. Tom Hopkins, the master salesman, couldn't find more than five customers in this group. That's a 95% rejection rate! What's going to happen when the untrained beginner contacts this same list? He will encounter massive rejection, followed by disappointment and failure. That's why most people quit network marketing within their first few months in the business.

Marketing Model

In the marketing model, you present your opportunity to several people, using various methods, and then let them contact you if they are interested. This helps you to identify people who are truly interested in your business opportunity, and it eliminates much of the rejection of the traditional sales model. First, you make a list of 20-30 sharp, opportunity-oriented people who you think would be interested in earning an extra stream of income. You then ask your sponsor to help you put together a package of the company's top prospecting materials such as video or audio material, brochures, company news reports, etc.

You then mail or give these to each of your best people, and tell them how excited you are about your new opportunity, and tell them that you don't know if this would interest them, but you would like them to read or listen to the material, and interested people that you meet during your daily activities. When you follow up with these people, you simply ask, "What did you thin?" This helps to eliminate a lot of the rejection of selling because you are letting the company's materials present your opportunity, and you are only offering your information to people who find a need for this opportunity at this time in their lives, and if they would like to add another stream of income to the future.

Another way to attract new prospects is to put small ads in the local newspapers, informing people about your opportunity to create income. In your ad you place a special toll free number with a prerecorded message for people to respond to if they are interested. They then leave their name, address, and telephone number on your voice mail, and you send them the package of information and follow up in a few days. This helps you find people who are looking for your opportunity.

Corporate Merger Acquisitions
Corporate mergers and acquisitions are quite common these days. In 2004 deals worth over $800 billion were concluded, up 50% from the previous year. This trend is expected to sustain during the rest of the decade.Basically, mergers and acquisitions are meant for consolidation and growth of a corporation. For instance, a retail chain, which has a strong presence in the East Coast, wants to expand its business to the West. It could either put up its own facilities, which is a time-consuming process, or acquire a large chain or several

Small Business Marketing Secrets - When is the Best Time to Call?
If you spend time calling on people, you know why this is something you need to think about. You can save a lot of time by calling on people when they're available and in a mood to talk rather than when they're busy.It's professional and polite to try to call on people at times that are appropriate for them. You're doing them a courtesy, even if they don't realize it. Doing so makes you stand out from the crowd of everyone else who ignores this. (And there are plenty who do ignore this.)For a short time there was a salesperso

Although you don't have to be a salesperson and use "high pressure techniques" to be successful in network marketing, you will have to sell some products. You will need to present information about the products or business opportunity and then ask the person for an order. A good upline team will train you on how to properly present, ask for the order, answer the questions, and handle objections. When considering which company to choose, ask yourself if the company has marketing materials to help you present your opportunity. Do they have proven methods to help me recruit? Is there someone who will personally help me present the information and sponsor people? Do they have well-written ads with a good response rate? Are there recorded calls that I can use for my voice mail system? How successful has their marketing plan worked for other people?
