    Is a 2X2 Matrix Marketing System Legitimate
    I bet if you have been on the internet very long you have seen a few programs that market themselves with a matrix system. In the 2X2 matrix, the recruit would sponsor two and those two would sponsor two, filling the 2X2 matrix with six people.There are questions by many whether this is legal or not. That is almost like asking if concrete is legal. It really depends on how it is used. The matrix system itself is not illegal, unless it is used to perpetuate a fraud or a transaction or exchange of money without any substantial product or c

    Top Ten Tips for Writing your Best Press Release Ever
    Keep these few crucial details in mind when writing and submitting your press release to increase your chances of news coverage:1. If you are not the news: become the news. No matter what your release is about, you need to find a way to tie into the news. Make use of current trends and statistics.2. Make sure your headline is catchy, compelling the reader to continue. Research your newspaper to see what works to help you write one.3. Use "Who, what, where, when, why, how" but not in that order. Your first paragraph should s
    I arrive with about 350 other guys. We smile at each other but really don’t talk much. I guess we all feel that we are too good and too proud to be at a sales-training seminar.

    The trainer/speaker/guru promenades into the room and starts glad-handing everyone. He is dressed in a $1,200 suit with a sequined T-shirt underneath.

    He lets us know right away that he just never wears a tie. (Suddenly all of us are loosening our ties, slipping them off, and stuffing them into our briefcases.)

    “OK fellows, get up!” he tells us. “Put down your pens and pads; you won’t need them today. I am going to make you a successful sales rep by changing how you think, not how you write. I want everyone to push away the chairs. Open up the room so that we can open up your minds.”

    Reluctantly, we start pushing the chairs and table into the corners. Are we supposed to be in nursery school? I thought I was finally going to learn how to close more deals.

    The lights are dimmed. He begins with a whisper. “Close your eyes… think back to when you were a small child. Remember that story your mom would read to you. The one that you already knew by heart but wanted to hear again and again. The story that shaped you hopes and dream. What was it?”

    New or Smaller Franchisors and Business Brokers - Some Marketing Thoughts
    Should a new or smaller franchiser align themselves with a business broker in order to generate regional sales rather than setting up a master franchise, regional partnership or sub-franchiser strategy? Business Brokers look enticing to the smaller franchiser, since they know the market and the people there and put lots of advertising into that market.Nevertheless, a Franchiser needs to be careful on who they are dealing with and make sure that the Business Brokers do not break the franchise rule. One slip of the tongue by and the franch

    Sell More By Sticking To The Script!
    Please ask yourself this very basic question: why are you in sales as a career?Is it to earn a fine, substantially above average living? Are you in it for the money, or for some other reason?Perhaps you like the lifestyle, an expense account, travel, a car allowance, not having a boss peering into your cubicle every five minutes. I don’t put these motivations down.They’re perks, but really, the number one reason you should sell is to produce a great income, agreed?If so, you should devise a set presentation, a script

    FREE: The Timeless Word That Instantly Lifts Response Rates in Advertisements
    Free has been around forever.In fact, you may think the word "free" in advertisements has worn out its welcome. That it's a tired word that has lost its appeal.But you would be wrong.The word free, along with free offers, free information, and free gifts still dominate the advertising world. The appeal of getting something for nothing is timeless, and is still effective today, when it is done correctly.If you are going to offer something free, do not offer junk. Whatever you offer must have value. It's even better if

    Negotiating For Fruit in the Baghdad Open Market
    For those who are not use to the Islamic way of life and their free market way of trading and negotiation, perhaps you might like to walk with me in the open market for produce and such in Baghdad Iraq. You see here everything is for sale and the price is simply a negotiation starting point. But do not get discouraged because a savvy negotiator can make some great bargains here and in doing eat very well for not so much money.What is available at the Baghdad Iraq open market, well just about anything you can think of and even fruit from

    Mr. Guru jumps on it. “Great, now I want you to really get into the story.” He starts pretending he is a train and huffs and puffs around the stage.

    “Those of you who want to get on that train of success, what are you waiting for?” He is imploring us to join him.

    To my disbelief, within 20 seconds 100 guys are snaking around the tables and chairs in a long conga line. Then I start hearing music that sounds like an engine that is racing faster and fastrer. The guys are loving it.

    After a few minutes of pure pandemonium, Mr. Guru cuts the music, and everyone quiets down. “OK, OK, I want everyone to get that favorite story of their very own into their karma and act it out. Also look around the room to see if anyone else has a similar dream.”

    The noise level goes right back up, and yet I am still standing in the corner doing nothing. These guys are a bunch of jerks, I tell myself.

    The guy next to me is starting to take off his jacket, and even his shirt. “What are you doing?” I ask.

    “My favorite story was the emperor’s new clothes,” he says with some embarrassment. “You remember, everyone pretends that they see stuff that is really not there to please the emperor. Well I am tired of pretending at work that all those ideas from my boss are so great. I think most of them
