The Dreaded (Out of the Blue) Approach Still Lives

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (2)

Monday, June 15th, 2009

I was in the store today doing a little grocery shopping when I was approach by a gentleman. He asked me was I from around here…you know trying to make small talk.

In the midst of this, I am wondering why he has decided to interupt me. Because to be honest, I was pretty focused on what I was doing. So anyway, he talks a little longer that proceeds to ask me if I was open to an opportunity.

After talking to him and getting his card of course (because there is a better way), I started thinking about when I first started in MLM and was told to the house parties, approach people, cold calls, you know what I mean. I also remebered how they refered to these techniques as ‘duplicating success’.

Let’s get real…

I can’t begin to tell you about all the NO’s I recieved using this ’so-called’ duplicable system.

This is system is not duplicable by a long shot. Now I’m sure it was at one time (maybe back in the 60’s or 70’s) but today is a new day. No wonder the network marketing industry gets a bad wrap.

So here is what I discovered….

If you sponsor is teaching you these ‘old school’ techniques, then you are being set up for failure. You see, these strategies lack one MAJOR component – LEVERAGE!

Let me explain…

Network marketers are so concerned about ‘duplication’ that they are willing to try to duplicate anything. But it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that people hate to cold call and chase after people like puppies. Yet they continue to teach these methods (knowing they aren’t having much luck with them either) because they are trying to duplicate success. WHAT SUCCESS?

Let me let you in on a little secret… a duplicable system is no longer duplicable if it’s not being duplicated.

So understand this, if you don’t like the ‘old school’ way of doing business then your recruits won’t either. The fact is, it is not about duplicating set you up for failure stratigies. It is about duplicating what works. And I promise you, approaching people in the store is not it.

You must have control over you business. You have to put yourself in the drivers seat of your network marketing business by, not only, controling how you generate your own leads but how you interact with them.

The best way to do this is by leveraging yourself by using the internet. The internet has absolutely changed the way the world does business. It has leveled the playing field for all businesses, big and small.

By using the internet, you can generate your own leads, make money(even if people don’t join your business), and let the leads contact you. So instead of you chasing your leads, they are now chasing you.

It’s time to harness the real power of the internet to take your business to the next level.

Mastering Your Personal Brand

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (1)

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

When you think of people who have a great personal brand, Oprah Winfrey, Suze Orman, and Dani Johnson might come to mind. See each one of these people have built powerful personal brands that have propelled them to the top of their industries. But what have they done to master their personal brand?

Well like many other successful people, they took the time to connect, communicate, build, and protect their brands. Now there is no magic to this, there are just a few personal branding principals that should be followed to reach great success.

Principal #1 You already have your own personal brand whether you recognize it or not. Your brand is YOU! You are unique in your own way and it is up to you to improve, strengthen, and make changes to it as necessary.

Principal #2 Your personal brand exists in the minds of other people in the way they perceive, think, and feel about you. Think about someone you may have encountered in your life that you perceived as a hateful or negative person because of one interaction that you had or something someone else told you about them. You may not even know this person very well or anything about them but you view them in a negative light. So it is critical to keep in mind that your personal brand is not what you think it is but what others perceive it to be.

Principal #3 A common misunderstanding with personal branding is that it is all about YOU but that is far from the truth. Even though personal branding is about representing yourself, it is also (very much) about your audience. It is about impacting and fulfilling a need of your audience.

Principal #4 Since your personal brand exists in the minds of your audience; the only way to determine if your brand is successful is to find out how you are perceived by your audience. If there is a gap between what your audience thinks and feels about you and what you want them to think and feel, then you personal brand should be adjusted and strengthened.

Principal #5 In order to have a strong personal brand you must define it. Until you define your personal brand, your brand will just be a vague premise with no real foundation. The definition of your brand should define what you stand for and who you are targeting.

Principal #6 To have a great brand, you must respond to both emotional and functional needs. You must be able to provide your prospects with the solutions they are looking for and be able to connect with them on a personal level.

Principal #7 The best personal brands are credible, so you must be able to prove that you can deliver what you promise. It is not enough just to say you can fulfill a need; you must show that you have the ability to do it.

Principal #8 Your personal brand is built every single day, 24/7 and 365 days a year, through what you say and what you do. Now this doesn’t mean that you won’t make mistakes. However, it does mean that you must think about the behaviors that might damage your brand.

Principal #9 Communicate your brand consistently. If you don’t communicate your brand, how in the world will you be able to represent your personal brand as a strong and sturdy brand?

Principal #10 Do not pretend to be someone you are not, Be YOURSELF! Pretending to be someone else is dishonest and consequently you will be unhappy. Not to mention, it is hard to be consistent with a fake personal brand. So you must find out what your audience needs and align those needs with your own unique strengths and traits.

These personal branding principals can be applied to your network marketing business and life not only to achieve your goals, but to surpass them.

Attraction Marketing 101

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (0)

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

In this video I will speak about how attraction marketing really works and how you can use the power of your own life (my story marketing) to get the most out of it.

(Video Delays towards the end…be patient)

When you are settinf up your page, it is very important that you include videos. It can be videos done by other people that you enjoy and find helpful or videos of you or both. I highly suggest that you include a video from you welcoming people to your site. It makes it more personable. Remember your objective is to build relationships with these people.

You don’t have to contact me about your page but if you would like some feedback feel free to ask.

For guidance, check out my page at www.myspace.com/inspiretobegreat.

Also, adding video is very powerful. By having video as well as print, you will be able to satisfy different people. Some people prefer to read others prefer video, so you want to have both but it is not neccessary.

My Story Marketing (MSM) is a HUGE asset in your business. If you haven’t written your story, then stop what you are doing and get started. MSM is the concept of attracting people that are like you and relate to you. Everyone has a story, an authenticty about them that no one else can duplicate. How you present yourself to the world is how the world reacts to you. If you want prospects chasing you, you must have a story. Take a look at the video by Danny Arrington on MSM. He explains it very well. Then go on to the next video and start building your story.

Attract Prospects By Adding Massive Value

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (0)

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

STOP Promoting Your Business Opportunity

If your marketing consists of primarily promoting your business opportunity, through a replicated business opportunity website you will join the 95% of all home business marketing reps who spend more money on their business than they actually make.

Promoting your business opportunity is the fastest way to go broke!

So Before we get started, Do You Understand the Law of Attraction? Are You Using It in Your Life and Business? Danny will explain it in the video. It is very important to understand this concept before you can truly start attracting people into your business and life.

Law of attraction plays a Huge part in understanding how to attract people to you and how providing value makes you more attractive.

So what it means to add Massive Use Value?

Well, adding value does not have to mean that you are teaching an advanced marketing technique or doing live webinars or anything even close to that.

One of my mentor’s Danny explained it best, he said that Adding Massive Use Value is about finding your passion and having as much fun doing it as you can.

He added, I have a student named Frank Wall. He is in Monavie. He LOVES working out. The first time he called Danny he had NO CLUE how to do anything other than pitch, pitch and pitch some more. He could get so excited about Monavie! And you know what? He has a heart of gold. He really does believe in it. He is in amazing shape and says that his energy level is a result of drinking 2 oz’s per day. Who can argue with that? He is a walking billboard.

But guess what? NOBODY CARES! His family tells him they don’t want to hear about it. All of his friends are sick to death of it. His coworkers have all bought in and then fallen out on him.

He is making no money and it’s been over a year!!!

So he calls Danny and wants to know how Danny can help him. Danny told him to describe to his ideal life. He says I would work out everyday, own a gym, teach people to eat right and get in shape. PERFECT! Danny told him to start making videos that teach people how to work out. He looks at Danny like I am crazy.

How is that adding value and making me Monavie sales?

Danny said when you teach others how to improve their lives, they become fans and fans want to follow you and do whatever you do.

He didn’t believe it would work but did it anyway with some hesitation. It’s been 5 months and he now has people all over the country following him around begging to know how to get in the shape he is in, how to eat like him, how to work out like him. He is a legend in the minds of hundreds and hundreds of people.

Now, Frank Wall is at the top of Google for the keyword phrase ‘atlanta fitness expert’. His video is the first and second spots. He has realized the power of living your life NOW and has also adopted MSI (Multiple Streams of Income) by becoming an affiliate for some workout stuff. He is writing an ebook and has totally expanded his mindset.

So see adding value is different for everyone but this is a secret that very few network marketers will ever use. Why? They are too caught up thinking what’s in it for me instead of realizing that all you really have to do is go out there and give to others. They have a competitive mindset instead of a creative mindset.

They are focused on taking instead of giving. They have never experienced the success and fulfillment that is the result of having the heart of a servant.

One day about a year ago I was really struggling with adding value. My mind was blank about the whole idea of what it meant. So I asked myself a very empowering question and I have not stopped asking myself this question everyday since.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR OTHERS TODAY THAT WILL HELP THEM REALIZE THEIR DREAMS?

Think about that question and begin adding value. If you want to get started quickly or just don’t know what value to give, I highly recommend the The MLSP Mastermind System. This system will give you a way to provide Use Value to your prospects and teach you How to Generate More Up Front Cash Flow For Your Business and Plug Your Team Into the Most cutting Edge Training Available Today.

You do not have to be in a MLM to be use this system. The training that is provided relates to any business. It is really important that you understand the concept of ATTRACTION MARKETING before you start marketing your new business and website. This is the foundation for your business, and the more you really “get it”, the more success you will have with your marketing efforts and conversions.

I also HIGHLY recommend you pick up a copy of Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring Course. This course will give you provides excellent value and understanding of how to incorporate The Law of Attraction in your business.

'How To Develop The RIGHT Mindset That Will ATTRACT Success Into Your Life

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (0)

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Without the right mindset success will always feel like that little engine that could chugging up a mountain, rather then effortless and easy like it should be.

There are 2 things that matter more to your success then anything else.

1. Marketing
2. Mindset

I have plenty of Marketing for you so in this section we’re going to go DEEP into the MINDSET of success.

So what do I mean by that? Quite simply I mean this…

You are creating YOUR reality all the time, whether you are conscious of it or not. The thoughts that you emit, the emotions that you feel, the attitudes you hold, and the beliefs you have are directly responsible for what you will bring into your life. You ever notice angry people seem to always hang around other angry people? Or did you ever fear something so much that you actually MADE it happen?

I KNOW we all experience these situations in our lives but too many times we let our awareness of them fly under the radar. We let our emotions and thoughts dictate our actions, rather then our actions dictating our emotions and thoughts.

Do you think people who make millions of dollars behave, think, act, or feel the same way as someone who struggles to pay the bills? I’m not saying either is better then the othe because I don’t believe that. But what I AM saying is that successful people have developed a certain mindset that will ATTRACT success into their lives. Their mindset is directly responsibility for their ability to create wealth and if you want to get wealthy, then it’s time to start working on that mindset RIGHT NOW. So what it is?

Here it is…

The success mindset is simply the knowledge that YOU are creating your own reality all the time. It’s becoming aware of yourself so much that you are ALWAYS emitting the kind of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that WILL attract success into your life.

That’s it. But contained within that simplicity is a MASSIVE challenge!

It’s a challenge that is begging us all to GROW. And growth sometimes happens kicking and screaming but when we come out on the other end it’s worth all the effort in the world. When you truly learn how to effortlessly attract certain types of people in your lives, certain types of situations in your lives, or certain opportunities into your lives you possess the ability to make a FORTUNE.

This knowledge is directly responsible for EVERYTHING I have ever done. Even people reading this right now will resonate and FEEL it to be so true that I’m sure I will end up talking to many of you who want to learn more. It’s just that simple. What you put out, you get back.

So the key is making sure we are putting out REAL VALUE and we will get REAL VALUE back. So how do you put out real value? How do you become more valuable yourself?

Easy You Build Your Knowledge. You increase your value each time you develop a new skill, learn something you didn’t know before, make a new relationship or business partner, discover more about your self, or any other aspect of life that causes you to GROW. Each time you move forward in your own growth you become more valuable to other people.

Do you know why that is?

Because people are SEARCHING for real knowledge. And if you can be the one to provide them real knowledge they are going to come to you to get it. They will show up right on your doorstep, asking can you please teach me. And THAT is the position you want yourself to be in because Leaders make BIG MONEY in network marketing.

So here is what you can start doing today, start building your value more and more each day. You can read more, write more, take more classes, network with more people, go for nature hikes, meditate, go the gym, take a yoga class, develop a new marketing skill, educate yourself on changing technology whatever you do just build your knowledge and it will increase your value! And the more your value increases, the more money you will be able to make. It really is that simple in one sense.

'What to Know Before Starting Your Network Marketing Business

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (0)

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Starting a home based business is a big decision that also has alot of unanswered questions. So listen up because there are a few things that you should be aware of before you make your choice.

You see I know how difficult it was when I first started my home business. I didn’t know much about the industry, I didn’t know who to believe, I even wondered if I would be able to have success quickly and I am sure you are going through some of the same obstacles. So here are a few things you should be aware of before making your decision:

1. Don’t believe everything that you see. You have probably seen a lot of ads stating something like “$10k in first week or $30k your first month”, I am not saying that isn’t possible but it is highly unlikely that it will happen that way. You must understand that making a ton of money in a home business is not an overnight thing. You might here some people saying that there top earner build up a fortune in 2-3 days maybe a week but let me assure you, that he had probably been in the industry for awhile and just happen to move from a different company bringing his followers with him.

2. You will see a lot of people telling you how great there business is and that is better than another business. It may be true, it may not be true who really knows but all of that is irrelevant to the task at hand. Just because a business is great doesn’t mean that you will make money, it doesn’t mean anything. You want to make sure that they more to offer that just a business…this goes into # 3.

3. When looking to join a business you want to make sure that the person has the training and support that you need in order to help you succeed. I don’t mean the basic marketing you get from most people like making a list, cold calling, placing ads everywhere on the internet promoting your business first or products first. This will limit you to little or no success. You want someone that will show you cutting edge techniques that will cut your learning curve in half so that you can see results much quicker instead of spending 1-3 years trying to figure what works and what doesn’t. Times are hard these days and you don’t have time to waste on mediocre marketing that won’t get you the results that you are looking for.

The key to making money in this industry is not just the desire to do so but the actions you put behind that desire. It is a necessity to have technologies in place that will help you see the success you are looking for in the least amount of time. That is why it is so important to not only choose your company wisely but choose the people you work with wisely.

Don't Be Scared, Take Action

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (0)

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

In 2009 or even past years, you probably set goals for yourself on what you want to accomplish in life and business. How you want to learn more about internet marketing, prospecting, expanding your business, etc. Well goals are great to have but that is all they are ‘GOALS’. They mean nothing without action. In the word of internet marketing, action means providing content; loads and loads of content. Content includes video, articles, blogs, audio, etc

I know that putting yourself out there can be scary. I was shaking in my boots when I started putting content on the internet. I wondered if the content I was providing was good, what people would think, in a nutshell…I was scared.

But I realized in a short period of time that I wasn’t the only that was scared and there were plenty of other people that knew less than me.

In other words, take action. There is no reason to be scared of what other people are saying because there are plenty of people out there that know less than you when it comes to building an online business. You will always have something to share with people, whether it is just an experience you had with a particular person, or product. Blog about it, write an article about, do a video. The more content you have the more exposure, the more exposure the more followers, the more followers, the more business you will create.

Think Your Business Opportunity is the Solution…THINK AGAIN!

Posted by: Tasha Palmer | Comments (0)

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I notice that there are still tons of people spamming forums, inboxes, groups, etc, thinking that they are going to provide the perfect solution (their business) for people but that is not the case at all. If it was, they wouldn’t be spamming other people they would be enjoying their success.

There is a reason that 97% of people fail on the internet. People don’t look at their business as if it is a liability. The reason it is a liability is because without the right tools and techniques you are bound to lose way more money than you earn. People don’t seem to see it that way when they are spamming people and boasting that their business is the best.

The problem with this is that your prospects do. They are way to educated and intelligent to just spend money on an opportunity especially without a detailed instruction guide.

So instead of being part of the problem, You have to be part of the solution.

What do you have to offer besides your business opportunity? What can your prospect gain from being in business with you? Can you show them how to be successful? If you can’t show them yourself, can you guide them to the right people?

These are some of the things that you need to think about when prospecting for your home business. You have to provide something that the competition is not.

It is not about your business opportunity, People don’t care about that. They care about what you can do to help them seek the success they want. The business opportunity is just a bonus to make money. Once you start providing solutions, you will become extremely attractive and people will won’t to work with you over and over again.
