The 800 Number. . .

Why does one need a 800 number?  It is a must when you advertize that is when it is used… what does it cost ? “GOOGLE” 800 numbers, voice mailbox  I personally utilize a 800 service called connect me http://www.connectmevoice.com/  I use it when I advertize in classifieds I have a 5 min sizzle call attached to the voice it works wonders a great sorting… tool

Prospect (suspect) in the newspaper hears the sizzle message —> my website —> double opt in for a short 10 min video —> collect all prospect info —> follow up for a call to action —> confrence call, presentation or sign up.

I have the option to make the phone number follow me to any number I choose .

Either way you want to have a message that strkes curiosity and have the caller leave their name, number and best time to reach them. This really helps week out the tire kickers.

The Downside:

Just remember you are paying to have a 800 number but it starts out at 8 buck a month and that is part of my overall advertisement cost for the month. If you got any questions about 800 numbers or how to utilize them let me know. I would not use it to carry long conversations just to collect information…

Call my sizzle line its operational 24 – 7   (877) 492 7328  the voicemails get recorded and sent to my email address so I can play it online… how cool is that!?

Take away the pain of prospecting

The telephone, Friend or Foe? To Prospect or not to that is the question… sounds simple hungh? The only way to face this problem is t0 face it head on… is it painful to some YEP! Why? Because of our own self imposed fears. Now I don’t have a degree, I speak from personal experience this is not theory I was scared to freaking death of the phone… what if … what if … what if … what if the sky falls? I was afraid of what people would say to me about my company and about my opportunity. I faced this fear head on and overcame it. Mostly due to the fact I hated my job and I knew the way to the dough was to prospect… Have a formula mine was simple I modeled myself out of the other leaders out there my favorites are Todd Falcone www.toddfalcone.com and Jeffery Combs www.goldenmastermind.com .

I prospect anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 min per call and then send them somewhere where they can make a educated and informed decision.

The steps are 1. Opening 2. The qualifier 3. The interview 4 Close ( to action)  After day in and day out of calling I got more comfortable but I understand what I am doing and even though I did not see results for a while I knew I would make more up in numbers then what I lack in skill. 

I decided if I was not going to simply pick up the phone and start talking to people I was going to go broke and or needed to get the heck out of the industry all together.

It does not matter if your company has conference calls , cd’s, dvd’s, web presentations there are some rules to Network Marketing on is ” You cannot say the wrong thing to the right person and the right thing to a wrong person.”  and even if you suck in the beginning like any really GURU or Network Marketing Superstar did. That should make you feel better. I recorded my calls early in my career and screwed up a bunch of times ( I will put them on a cd one day and give it away sometime in the future) it is so funny… Time heals all wounds and even though it will be uncomfortable in the beginning it is simple the gauntlet to see if you got what it takes to make it and become a six and seven figure money earner. So understand get the script down to where you can say it without it in front of you put your twist on it ( your style ) and make calles every day.
