Follow along with me as I grow a successful Greeting Card and Gift business. I would love to share this business and journey with you, and I want you to see just how simple it is!
This was a very exciting week with our company incentive cruise, which was a blast and then expanding into the UK and adding new customers!
Are you ready? Let’s get you started!
This is the ability to get paid month after month on the work that you do one time.
A good analogy that you are already familiar with is the franchising industry. In franchising, the franchisee, or one who
purchases the rights to do business using a well-known business name such as McDonald’s, pays a royalty fee every month to the franchiser, or parent company. It’s always a percentage of the profits earned.
The parent company, or McDonald’s, has incredible time leverage. The more McDonald’s stores they have around the world, the more money they make.
But, the parent company certainly doesn’t do all of the work. If they have 5,000 stores, each open 18 hours a day, 90,000 hours are worked daily on their behalf.
The concept works in much the same way with our business system, except you don’t have to pay a royalty fee each month! Imagine building a “franchise” system of hundreds and thousands of Team Partners Sending Out Cards and Gifts to friends and potential prospects.
What might that mean to you over time?
Here is an example – let’s say you start your own Greeting Card and Gift business and begin by investing five hours per week into your business. You introduce your card business system to Mike and begin working with him. He also puts five hours a week into his card and gift business. You now have 10 hours per week working on your behalf, although you are only putting in five hours yourself.
If you and Mike each bring in a new partner, who each commit to five hours, you will soon be benefiting from 20 hours per week. Remember, your actual time involvement is only five hours each week.
By the end of the first month, you have forty hours each week working on your behalf. At the end of the second month, over 640 hours will be invested into your business each week, but not all by you. You are only putting in five.
Do you see the beauty of time leverage?
In network marketing, we are paid for opening “outlets” and teaching those “outlets” to be successful. Who can you send out a card to now and introduce this amazing system?
And, remember, franchising was thought to be a scam in the ’70s, when it first began.
Here is Part 1 if you missed it! – What Is Network Marketing.
If you think this would be helpful to others, “Tweet It” or “Like It” at the top of the page or “Share It” right below!
I would love to hear your feedback and comments. Let’s exchange ideas below. Just leave your thoughts/questions.
Great question and one that almost everyone has when they are getting started. Here are 5 simple steps that will guarantee your success if you will do them daily and stay committed:
1. Become a product of the product – send out cards daily. Send some for love and appreciation and send some to share this business and change someone’s life. How cool that your low monthly business cost ($31) is part of your marketing budget!
2. Invite others to take a look – hand out a DVD; give out a business card; send a card and DVD, etc. Ask the simple question “Do you know anyone who buys greeting cards or gifts?” It doesn’t matter what they say, but most likely it’s going to be YES! Your next question is “Do you know anyone who would like to get paid a percentage of every card or gift bought by those you know?” Your next step is to get this person in front of the DVD or online presentation. The more you say, the less you make. Let the tools work for you!
3. Present the business. Here is where this business is so simple. Your prospect can view it on your personal website. You can hand or send a DVD. This works as your “meeting on the go!” More “meetings” mean more money! How many “meetings” can you do a week?
4. Follow Up – most people won’t make a decision right away. Make sure your prospects experience our business by sending a card themselves using the online system on your account. Then, you can follow up with a thank you card for checking out the business. If your prospect isn’t ready today, make sure you keep in touch with a card or postcard regularly!
5. Training. Get your new team partner started right by putting them in front of the 72 hour challenge! This consists of having your new person Send Out 3 Cards and 1 gift in the first 72 hours. Have 3 people watch the opportunity presentation. Do this over and over and watch the business soar!

In order to achieve the success you desire in your MLM Business, solid training is critical.
Read on for more of what you’ll find our partnership and MLM Training together will consist of. MLM Business Coach Jackie Ulmer shares her story and concepts –
You’ve heard it said before – “Anyone can be successful in a MLM business. Anyone can do it.”
Is this really true? And how will you be successful in your Send Out Cards Business?
Well, yes, it is true, and the thing most critical to insuring that success is to have solid, realistic MLM Training. And, you need more than your company’s basic training and getting started guide.
I was not a “fast starter” when I first started in Network Marketing. I struggled with my own beliefs and fears. The best thing I ever did was subscribe to Upline Magazine (no longer available) and read the success stories each month from ordinary people who made it to the top.
Why couldn’t I do this, too?
When I made the decision to be a top income earner and leader within Network Marketing, I knew I wanted to create something different. I wanted to be the type of sponsor, coach and trainer that is dependable and backs up claims. I wanted to know that no one would ever leave my business because I was not there to provide training and support.
If you’ve ever dealt with a sponsor who signs you up and you never hear from them again, you’ll know what I mean.
