Share Your Greeting Card Business With Friends Successfully

.

IMG_2318You’ve launched your online greeting card business and are so excited, right, and then this happens…

You bump into a friend you haven’t seen in a while. She’s on your list to contact about your new business, but you just haven’t made that contact yet. You want to break the ice, and you think she would be great, but you don’t want to approach her at the wrong time, or come across salesy.

She may be interested, and maybe now! So, how do you get the conversation started?

This is where good, “success” language and a “detached” outlook become so valuable. Your goal in every conversation is to put people at ease, begin the process and not do a “data dump” on them.

This is where questions become SO valuable.

 

Remember this right up front – you aren’t trying to “get” anyone in. That is no way to start or run a business.

 

Whether you are making a phone call specific to the business, run into your friend or are out together and the timing is right, make sure you ask good questions, listen and then keep the conversation geared toward your prospect’s point of view.

Let’s say you run into Jill, you ask how things are going and she begins to unload about her boss and how she HAS to get out of that dead end job.

The tendency might be to start spouting off about how great your business is and how perfect she would be, and she could fire that boss and on and on…

Instead, say something attention grabbing that will relate her back to her own reasons such as – “Jill, I don’t know if you know this, but I have been working on a side business for the past few months. It offers a nice alternative for working from home, getting out of the corporate rat race while being home with the kids. I work with a number of highly successful, six figure earning women who have left behind their jobs through this company. Would you be open to learning more?”

Share a benefit of your business from her point of view. Don’t even mention the company or product to begin. It doesn’t matter at this point. Your goal is to engage her emotionally. If she is intrigued, the time will come to share the rest, and in the right way.

If you are specifically making the call about the business, get to the point right up front.

“Hey Jill, I’m calling today with a business question to ask you and would also love to catch up, is now a good time?”

Now it’s okay to ask some simple questions that you both relate to, such as about the family and such, before diving in. Spend a few minutes and then YOU be the one to move the conversation to business

“The reason I called today Jill, is that I have been working on a new business project for the last few months. I work with a lot of women who have left corporate America to work with this company and I know you have mentioned for a long time that you would love to leave your job. Would you have about 15-20 minutes some time soon that I could share some details with you? I think it could be a fit for you, but that’s something only you can decide.”

When she says yes, schedule the time and then use the simple tools of our greeting card business to present the opportunity. Have her send a card, watch a video and learn more about earning an income.

.

And, then get permission to ask a few more questions.

.

“Do you mind if I ask a few questions now?”

“Why? Why would you want to look at this? Have you looked at any other options? What’s most important to you in another career option?”

Great, thanks, that helps me a lot for when we connect on XYZ date. I’m excited to share the details and I hope you’ll find it something of interest, and if not, that’s okay. You may be able to offer some referrals of others. I look forward to your feedback! I’ll talk to you then!

Now, everyone is clear on the direction of the next appointment and you have already cleared the way for her to say “No thank you” and remember – success is 100% about getting an answer – not just a YES!

If you find this training helpful, you’ll be happy to know there is a lot more on the inside, when you join the team! Are you ready?

Netflix iTunes and Amazon – Imagine Having a Share

By Leave a Comment

Who wouldn’t have loved having a piece of these industry game changers?

Netflix – totally changed the way people rent, borrow and watch movies at home and on the go. You don’t see many video stores around any more, do you?

iTunes – totally changed the way we preview, buy and listen to music, at home and on the go. You don’t see many music stores around any more, do you?

Amazon – changed the way a LOT of people buy and read books, and while Barnes and Noble is still out there, it’s once $5 billion dollar value has dropped dramatically.

Imagine having a piece of any of those three companies.

Here is the cool thing – we are totally revolutionizing the way people buy greeting cards and gifts. The difference for YOU? You CAN have a share of these profits. And, you determine how big the share is!

Do you know why Hallmark charges $4-7 for a card? And why we only charge 93 CENTS for a personalized card with all of your own photos?

Hallmark, and other greeting card companies pay AHEAD of time for all of the cards that no one buys, and that NEVER make it off the card rack. And, that amounts to over 80% of cards printed.

At SendOutCards, we print ONLY the cards that are being sent. In fact, we don’t print a single card a head of time. You select it, customize it, say who it goes to and THEN we print it and mail it for you.

And, we’ll pay you a lucrative income to share this concept with others.

We call it “moving from brick and mortar to click and order!”

How to Create Fast Success in Your Greeting Card Business in 8 Weeks

Network Marketing Success Checklist

Congratulations! Are you ready to finally be successful in Network Marketing?

 

Don’t let me speak for you, but I probably know how you are feeling. If you’ve read my story, you know that I will never be written up in the network marketing hall of fame as a “fast starter!” In fact, I’m sure my picture lined the hall of the “doubtfuls” for a while!

 

And, as we say, it’s a marathon and not a sprint. I finally figured it out not once, not twice, but now three times. I just passed my 19 year anniversary in Network Marketing and I can say this – I have NEVER quit.

 

And, since I have learned what works, I’m starting an 8 week, intensive, sure-fire success mentoring program for my team.

 

This is what I’ll be showing you –

 

1. How to Turn Your Mindset and Personal Struggles Into Success and Break the Cycle – This is getting your business set up done RIGHT!

 

2. How to put together a simple, proven system using the tools and resources of SendOutCards and our team. When you know WHAT to do each day, you are much more likely to DO IT! I’ll share the steps I take each day; each week; each month and each year to be successful.

 

3. How to Create an Ongoing List of People to Share SendOutCards with. People are everywhere and in today’s economy, they are LOOKING for what we offer. Once you know the proper business and communications skills, you can rocket to the top!

 

4. How to overcome your OWN objections and handle any questions and objections that might come up with your spouse, your family, your friends and ANYONE you talk to about the business! Remember this – in baseball, connecting the ball with the bat just 2-3 times out of ten makes you a million PLUS earner! Same is true in our business! You don’t need SCORES of people to talk to; you need to know how to cultivate the right soil so that when the time is RIGHT, you’ll get the sign up!

 

5. Productivity and mastering success – WHAT you do; WHEN you do it; and setting yourself up with realistic EXPECTATIONS and an action plan is what every top earner knows that it takes. We are going to develop this for you in a way that FITS you!

 

6. Understanding how to work your business in the right 30 day cycles. There are peak times for different things in your business. Do you know what these are? You’ll know after this session.

 

7. Setbacks, struggles and self accountability – we ALL have them. The key is knowing the ways to reframe the situation and use any of it to your advantage. And, once you adopt self-accountability into your daily and weekly program, you will be amazed at what shows up!

 

8. Leadership and team building – this is an area where many people silently and subconsciously struggle. I feel there is a bigger fear of being successful than not being successful. I’ll show you how to set yourself up as a leader from day one, and how to run your business smoothly and successfully with a team of 1…10…100…1,000….10,0000 and more. You AREN’T a manager, so don’t try to be one. You’ll understand better after this model!

 

Now, along the way, I will be holding you accountable. This program is not for wimps or the faint of heart. If you feel excuses and objections welling up inside of you just reading this, it’s not the right time.

 

And, that’s okay! The perfect time for anything is when YOU are ready.

 

There is no cost for this mentoring, you just need to be on my team, either personally enrolled by me, or someone on the team. You must follow our 7 day action plan and complete the very simple steps that it outlines to participate.

 

I want you to imagine something, for just a moment. Close your eyes and picture this….

 

Imagine having a global business. A business that you can run from anywhere in the world, with a laptop and internet connections; or your smartphone; an iPad, etc.

 

No products to stock, deliver or cart around. No inventory.

 

No expensive monthly “autoship” to be in business.

 

No “me too” products.

 

Just you, a dynamic team, and a completely portable business.

 

Now, imagine this – you have a business where the sun TRULY never sets on your income. Your business spans the global and each day, someone, somewhere in the world (many someone’s actually) is sending cards and gifts. From the US, to Canada, to Australia and New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa up to the United Kingdom and Europe. You have customers all over the world!

 

Imagine THAT kind of business! Let’s build it. I am – are you coming along for the ride?

My Business and Team Plan for 2013

By Leave a Comment

Welcome 2013! It’s here, like it or not! And, most people I have spoken with are GLAD to release 2012 and welcome in this promising, new year! How about you?

It’s always a good idea to reflect on what worked and what didn’t from the previous year, and so I thought it might be helpful for you if I shared a little of what 2012 consisted of, and what lies ahead for myself and my team for 2013.

Actually, 2012 was a great year for me. I won the SendOutCards company wide award as Top Sponsoring Team Builder; was named to the Eagle’s Nest Advisory Panel for the Summer and Winter session, and took top 5 (or higher) honors in the Eagle’s Point Challenge all year! I am a goal setter by nature and I love working with others to set powerful goals, and then lay out the action steps that make those goals come alive, and come to pass!

Would this interest you?

As exciting as it is to win an award, it is MUCH more rewarding when your team does as well. And, I had some of the team finish in the top 50 and top 100 in the Eagle’s Point Challenges, too! Kudos to the team!

How did I do this? How did WE do this?

Well, we followed the simple daily action steps laid out by the company, in our training. And, as a team, we worked hard on developing good “scripting language for success!” We did team calls, role playing and one on one work together to help anyone who wanted to develop and improve on what they say to introduce the business to others.

We have a team accountability and mentoring call every week, along with a team calling blitz. While neither are mandatory, those who join in see much higher results, typically, than those who don’t!

Those are all great examples of what worked.

We had our team launch call on January 2nd, and covered some specific ideas for building the team and getting more people into top earning slots. Once you are on the team, you’ll have access to all of our calls.

Here are some areas we covered on the call and are focused on as a team for 2013 –

Social Media is back in the spotlight! I am truly convinced that WHEN DONE RIGHT, the internet and tools of Social Media are a powerful way to find people interested in the business. So, I’ll be coaching on the methods that helped me sponsor over 1,400 people in the last 13 years, and become that top sponsoring team builder for the SOC year!!!

We are focused on these key things as a team –

  • MeetUp and building locally through Social Media first.
  • Blogging – this powerful tool is a solid platform for anyone who wants to attract a following, and is willing to BE CONSISTENT and learn!
  • Using Facebook to reach out, connect and FORM people. We are NOT talking about blatant advertising, posting your opportunity links and calls all over your timeline, etc. I am talking about building relationships and reaching out to people who indicate a desire.
  • Niche markets – who can you relate to?

Offline, we are focused on some key areas that work
  • Small, in home business launches, or Coffee and Cards gatherings.
  • Local Networking events – we have a GREAT product to introduce to small business owners – ask about our Gratitude Marketing overviews and ways of introducing our product to others!
  • Live daily Opportunity calls
  • Our simple Card Demo and Walk Through – no easier way to share the business

These are a few of the proven, timeless methods that have worked for me for the past 19 years offline, and the past 13 years online.

And, of course, the real beauty of having a truly internet based business – this is the perfect business for that because:

  • We are unique, not competing with dozens of “me too” companies and products such as weight loss, vitamins, juice, nutritional products; skincare; makeup; travel; technology, etc. Nothing wrong with those, except when the question comes up – what makes your XYZ unique?
  • We have a business where you can literally make your list, pick up the phone, share what we are doing using our proven “scripting” techniques; ask for referrals and do it all without leaving your home
  • No products to stock or deliver
  • No inventory to keep on hand
  • No expensive monthly auto-costs or ongoing costs
  • Lucrative training bonus program

 

So, these are a few of the things that await you as a SOC team partner. I would love to get started with you today.

Did you know that January through May is PEAK business building season? No better time for you to start and succeed.

IF you are ready, use the form below and let’s get you started. I am laser focused for 2013 – what about you?
