Wake Up Now...(?)

I love this NPR radio program called THIS AMERICAN LIFE, with Ira Glass...

The show recently aired an interesting segment about network marketing (kinda), featuring a company(?) called Wake Up Now...

m.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/543/wake-up-now

One of the things that struck me, is the fact that the biggest problem with many networking companies may be... LACK OF CLARITY in the presentation!

Presentation of what? ...whatever.

It could be a product... it could be a service... it could be the real business opportunity. Whatever you have to offer... lack of clarity in your presentation will destroy you!

In the interest of clarity, let me say that I don't endorse Wake Up Now... and I don't speak against it. But look, whether you build Wake Up Now, or Amway, or whatever...

you better be CLEAR, you better be STRAIGHT-FORWARD... you better come correct with people.

Direct Sales 101...

I picked up two guys today, while I was driving with Uber.

We talked about our various enterprises... I sell Amway products, they sell telecom services. Since I also happened to have a book about direct sales... well, they asked for any advice i'd like to give.

I asked them what they liked about the services they offer. They said, "we don't like anything about the services we offer." (What?! ...Why are you selling that service then?!)

So, I asked them how they expected to be any good at selling something they didn't like. They said, "we could just lie to people about liking it, right?"............

So, here it goes... direct sales 101...

DON'T SELL WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE! ...ONLY SELL WHAT YOU DO LIKE! ...and

DON'T LIE TO FOLKS TO GET SALES...

Class Dismissed.

Sales Recommendation...

I just thought that I would mention...

our personal biggest sellers are the MEN'S HEALTH pack, and the WOMEN'S HEALTH pack. They are once-a-day supplement packs... they're easy to take... they're inexpensive...all of our customers buy them!

It's important, as far as sales are concerned, to find a specific product to market... something you personally like... and something that appeals to an audience.

You don't wanna try to sell everything... Amway has about 450 products! AND, they distribute a couple hundred thousand products thru their PARTNER STORES...

so find something specific.

If you're still researching Amway, check out the health packs here...

Remember, when it comes to sales... be specific!

We All Work for Money...

I drive with Uber part-time...

Most drivers have other gigs as well. But, whether you Uber, or Amway, or something else... what you do, you basically do for money..

A few months ago, I went to an amazing seminar about money...

The MASTER YOUR MONEY seminar, hosted by Dale Gibbons. With the seminar fee, I also got a book and the income-tracking software free. Here's a link to some free material from the book titled MASTER YOUR MONEY IN 7 DAYS...

http://www.masteryourmoney7.com

The key point of the book and the seminar... you gotta master what you already earn, BEFORE you can effectively earn more!

The free software alone is worth the cost of the seminar... or the book!

Check it out... and learn some simple ways to change your life!
