As I share this information with you, I don’t want you to feel like I’m your strict parent about to give you a lecture on your work ethic.
(Ok… brace yourself… lol)
Not at all.
Actually, I just want you to remember a few key things that you may have already picked up in your entrepreneurial journey that many of us need to revisit.
These are the things I have learned along the way and continue to remind myself to do on a daily basis…
Things I learned from top leaders, mentors (not necessarily ‘gurus’) and those who are actually out there doing stuff…
The words themselves are not that glitzy or glamorous, but they mean a lot to you in terms of how you perceive your own business and the services provided by others.
You know I don’t *normally* post stuff like this… but let’s face it…
What’s *normal,* anyway?
This video is about a guy who was determined to do a little experiment on an apparent web phenomenon called “Chat-roulette.”
I have never used Chat-roulette but have heard some interesting stories from a few friends.
So what does this have to do with your home business?
Well… lots
Allow me to explain.
Lesson #1: KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
Marketing provides by far the highest leverage a business can possibly wish for in terms of ROI (return on investment).
Chat-roulette’s marketing is based almost entirely off of word of mouth advertising.
(Word of mouth advertising… sound familiar?)
So this guy Casey conducted a personal experiment to explain Chat-roulette’s demographics:
The results came out to: 71% Male, 15% Female and 14% Pervert.
How about THAT for real stats, huh ?
Lesson #2: HOW TO GET ATTENTION, APPEAL TO, AND BUILD RAPPORT WITH THAT AUDIENCE
This BIG lesson came at the 3:00 mark.
He did something interesting to DRAMATICALLY reduce the ratio of being “nexted” by others.
In fact… 10 TIMES less likely to be nexted!!!
Insanity – Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.
As network marketing professionals, we’re taught to learn the ropes from those that have done it before and duplicate their efforts.
It is a beautiful concept…
Duplicating like carbon copies…
With only one challenge.
Human intervention.
Humans are dominated by their emotions (yes, I’m the analytical type, yet I have to admit to this fact!)…
And emotions dictate our lives, which means we MUST learn to not only adapt, but adjust.
We’re very much in a relationship business, and that’s what makes me LOVE this industry so much.
The people.
But in order to succeed in this business, we MUST develop the relationships with our teammates…
And before they are teammates, they were prospects…
And before they were prospects, they were strangers…
I’m sure you got the message here.
How we handle that FIRST conversation has profound effects on not just our eventual outcome in business, but also all the steps in between!
If you’ve been going through the motions of trying to “show them the plan” but having limited or no success at all, there’s probably a few things that need to be tweaked (hint: it’s sometimes external, but MOSTLY internal… SHOCKING, isn’t it?).
I’m friends with a good group of leaders in the industry…
and they’ve never ceased to amaze me with their specific individual talents in different areas of the business.
Mike Dillard’s brilliance in building info marketing funnels that deliver great value to the customers…
Jim Yaghi’s unanimous status as the king of getting leads from Pay-Per-Click marketing…
Fernando Ceballos’ uncanny ability to help people (including me!) dominate Google search results to build their lists…
It’s true! 11 days ago (SepteMber 17th, 2009) I walked away from my very cush, 6-figure engineering career as (literally) a rocket scientist.
Crazy?
Not so much.
Actually, I want to share with you what I believe is the game-changing success secret that I’ve not seen any marketers, network marketing or Internet marketing, talk about.
I have it captured on video, all 26 minutes and 37 seconds worth.
I’m HANDING it to you… the 6-figure secret.
And trust me, it’s scientific…
But it’s something ANYONE can do, doesn’t cost any money, and WORKS EVERY TIME.
You’ll be left speechless, and with a MASSIVE amount of clarity.
So if you’d allow me… here it is
(IMPORTANT: PAUSE the video at 12:34, go through the exercise yourself, and resume the video to watch the analysis… PLEASE leave a comment at the end of the post to share your thoughts!)
