3 Keys to a Better Invite and How To Increase Attendance at Meetings & PBRS

Posted on December 18, 2011 by Erwin

Many reps are having great success but some aren’t . Have you noticed? Many committed reps are doing alot of work but not seeing the maximum results. One of the examples where we see this time and time again is in the area of invitations to prospects for them to come and see the business presentation. Particularly at hotel and home meetings ie. PBR’s. Now before I proceed let me preface this post by saying: The single most effective/profitable strategy we as a couple and national team have ever implemented and employed are PBR’s We absolutely would not change or replace this with anything. We’ve added more volume, enrolled more reps and rank advanced 50%-60% more ICR’s in the past 10 months than with any other business building methodology. However with a few of you not seeing these results yet, I decided to devote this blog to assisting those of you struggling with limited attendance and no-shows with 3 powerful tips to improve your inviting skills. Bottom line: We want you have more prospects actually show up. If you think you could benefit from that, then keep on reading.

The first thing to establish is in life we all invite people to things all the time, everyday. To sporting events, religious events, casual socials, family visits and even work-related meetings. So what is the difference. It is posture. Posture is not what we say but rather how we say it. It’s not just the words coming out of our mouth but the conviction of those words. While this is another huge topic which I will cover in an upcoming post, the important thing is to sound confident and self-assured whenever you are talking to anyone about your business. If you beg, prod, convince or drag people to see your business presentation, you’ll turn them off and the only one attending will be you and the gold fish. But if you learn the art of saying less and building value in your invitation. aka THE OFFER, this will be the beginning of a better personal show rate. The second thing is to separate explaining what THEY WILL GET from the actual INVITATION itself. So here are 3 things I say quickly to build curiosity, interest and value before I actually invite them to my meetings and PBR’s. Ready?

1) I let them know: (If they have a J-O-B) you’ll learn how to instantly, legally and ethically save your hard earned money in the form of tax dollars you are current losing bi-weekly on your pay check. This is explained by clicking HERE

2) I let them know we’ll reveal the main secret of how the wealthy through the centuries have created their own fortunes regardless of economic conditions AND how they can tap into the #1 wealth trend of the planet’s richest people.

3) Finally I let them know they will understand how to create something called “residual income” which is money they can earn over and over again even when they aren’t working.

Once I have shared THE VALUE, the real magic happens when this question is posed. “Is any of that something you would want to learn?” I even ask if they know anyone else who could benefit from that information. So you see what I have done here is position the value separate to the invitation. What I have not done is beg, prod, beat and convince. Instead I let the information I know they want and need do the convincing. And if they do not want that knowledge then they have also assisted me in qualifying where I should better spend my time and intimately disqualify themselves from success. I save my self time by not putting them into my calendar or wasting emotional energy not expecting to show up.

The final point is critical as many reps make this fatal error: Do not do to the prospect what the session is designed for them. Meaning if at the presentation they will learn all three points we have discussed, do not attempt to show them your website, explain the product and breakdown the compensation all in 5 minutes. You’ll surely confuse them and they will avoid you like the plague. Instead just build value and get them to agree that this is what they want to learn. Then tell them where and when they can receive it which is your address or hotel address of the meeting. Inviting correctly instead of explaining will increase your show rate and overall success.

If this blog has helped you and you can see yourself applying this new way to invite, please leave a comment and share it with others who may be struggling.

Happy prospecting and better inviting!

A “Starbucks Meet-up” Strategy For Building Network Marketing In Your Local Area?

Posted on November 14, 2010 by Erwin

Can your local coffee house franchise actually assist you in growing your network marketing business. Can it be a springboard to major momentum? Can Starbucks help you become a star and make more bucks? Yes it can.

It helped me and if done correctly can can help you do the same as well.

In this post I’m going to share the simply and effective strategy I used less than 90 days a go to not only reach out to my local community but how I also grew my primary opportyunity into a thriving city-based hotel meeting.

Let’s face it, everyone has a local market that they would so love to dominate. If you reside in a population base that has several hundred to several million and no one in your respective company has targeted or capitalized on it, then the good news is the leader of that local market is none other than you. Yesm you heard me. It’s the person staring back at you in the mirror.

While most people are waiting for a leader to emerge in your town, city, sate or province before they take action or begin their network marketing quest. The obvious truth is that you are the one and there is no competition if you do what I’m going to sahre with you in the next few lines.

1. Created a short 1-2min video calling all local reps in my primary company to come and attend a fun casual meet-up that will help these reps to connect with other local reps.

2. Post this video on all your video sharing, blogs and social media sites. Do this approx 8-10 days out to give attendees time to RSVP and book it in their calendars.

3. Create a specific event that connects the video to that day, afternoon or evening event. ie facebook

4. As people respond, reach out to them in a real sincere way asking them what their biggest challenges or frustrations with their company is and ensure you confirm their attendance and the directions to the venue.

5. Book the venue and prepare the area for your casual meet-up ahead of time. ie chairs, tables etc. I chose Sbux because it is a more affluent type of coffee house tending to attract more upper-middle class traffic

6. Make sure you have the right attitude so that whether 2 or 22 show up, you’ll be there ready to connect with these reps and new prospects and that you will 2-3weeks later have another offline meet-up.

* [The real secret to this strategy is that it must be done consistently. One time is not enough]

At the meet-up the objective for you to facilitate a casual and comfortable exchange (over coffee) lol so you can get to know the local network marketing reps in your immediate region. To connect with local entrepreneurs from your city is the the purpose. Be relaxed, get to know everyone and have fun.

Don’t be pushy, salesy or come across anxious or needy. You’re not there to recruit. Just to connect. Instead ask information-gathering questions about all in attendance. Write down names, numbers & emails before the meeting ends. If you follow this format of casual coffee shop format, I can assure you will have people come out to meet you the leader of this event. Don’t commiserate over those who do not show up. If you take interest in those who have shown up, they will almost always 99.9% ask you the question you’re waiting for which is. “What do you do?” or “can you tell me about your company?” This is not the point to drool, salivate or puke on your new friends. You can give a hand out or mention briefly some key info and/or book another specific time to re-connect to discuss your opportunity in detail.

The list of names, numbers and emails is now your master list to reference for follow-up and the next future meet-up. I think you’re now getting the concept of how a casual meet-up can bring local networkers to you!

Please listen to the below interview I conducted with my Business Partner & Mentor Ray Higdon via webinar on how I mastered this offline meet-up strategy that allowed me to recruit 15 new reps in under 33 days and develop a duplicating team of 100 plus in under 90 days.

The meet-up strategy works & it can work for you right from a Starbucks or local cafe house of your choice to build in your local area. Just be willing to step out away from the safety of your pc TODAY! Click the link below to listen to the full interview.

Celebrating Leadership Duplication in Network Marketing!

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Erwin

Mon Oct 18th at 8pm was not only a other great gold & silver presentation about Numis Network, not just another night of 90% sign-ups but the inaugural Numis Business Hotel Meeting hosted by top ranked Canadian 4 Ldrs Stars Olu & Roslyn Ogunniyi. This couple is putting a team together right!

What is even more awesome is how we met or should I say re-connected. You see you just never know where your biggest players and leaders in the industry will come from. Life is truly full of blessings and surprises. Following a hunch to seek your truly out for a emcee function, Roslyn managed to track me me on facebook. I was honored to be able to emcee Olu’s 40th on an amazing boat cruise, but that was just the beginning of a fantastic journey that has brought us all to this point.

Olu & Roslyn have seemingly come out of nowhere and hit the ground running and have had phenomenal success. Why? Because they are special? NO! It’s because they were hungry. Hungry for real results in their lives and hungry for success in the network marketing model that they knew existed, but just hadn’t found. Today they have found it; the right product, the right partners, the right pay plan and the right leaders. Today Ros & Olu having discovered Numis Network, the worlds’ first and only mlm marketing gold and silver, as they say “the rest was history”

We celebrated with them last week as they launched their own meetings in their own city. It was a rewarding event to watch take place. And so now we are thrilled to watch them bring on other great leaders who we believe will not only lead like they are leading but break their records even faster.

Now that’s real network marketing at it’s best!

Grand Checks, Grand Trips, Grand Duplication!

Posted on October 3, 2010 by Erwin

This was day #1 of a 7 night western Caribbean cruise we took in August 2010 after a 2 day business trip for leaders in our network marketing company. Our first port-of-call was Grand Cayman, and as we sailed, across North America and Canada we had “grand duplication” taking place in our network marketing business. What a concept of making money while sailing from island to island on the open seas.

We were away a total of 11 days on the open seas… enjoying nothing but sun, sea and salt. Without any real business schedule, we ate everything in sight, slept in til we were done, danced the nights away in exotic ports, and limbo-ed into the sunset. The best part though was returning home amazingly not to bills, but four awesome commission checks that blew us away. I turned to my wife and said, ‘we need to take more trips!”

Is it possible? Yes. Can anyone do it? Absolutely! Will we teach and show you how? You bet!!

You see the real point of even building a network marketing business is the ability to have both time & income in perfect harmony. The choice to control your own schedule any day of the year. to be able to go do what you want when you want with whom you want. The word is called freedom. It’s a far-fetched concept for some lol and a foreign concept for those still tied down by their pagers and hand cuffed to the cell phones. Even highly ambitious leaders in our industry who don’t train others to lead will only have a big “network marketing” job. A job being the only secret guru or magic component in their opportunities and thus they can’t get away from the grind of being a personal recruiting machine. Sound familiar? If they are always there, their business continues to boom but if not the production ceases.

So what’s the solution: DUPLICATION!

You must build others, develop teams and duplicate yourself in your current business opportunity. Simply build a business on helping others get what they want. Make the focus in duplicating teams and leaders the goal. Back those leaders up by other teams and leaders, then watch the world of possibilities open up for new found freedom. The sky will become the limit to the level of control YOU have over your calendar and schedule will amaze you. Travel frequently and with your families and come back home to a mailbox filled with checks! Now wouldn’t that be cool?

You ready to live life on your terms? If so, this is just the beginning and we look forward to sailing and traveling the world with whoever wants to come with us..

So who wants to build your network marketing business from island to island… Port to Port….Success to success? Weekly check to weekly check?

Start building a residual income on the open seas by building teams on land. Come back to checks and a bigger teams and more freedom all through TEAM DUPLICATION!!

I Just Can’t Lose With Leaders Like These!!”

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Erwin

“I just can’t lose with leaders like these!”

Yes this statement is the title of my recent blog post. Why? Because it is exactly how I feel. And I wanted you to think about whether you have leaders like these in your business or primary company?

In ten plus years of building teams and developing a networking business model, I’ve seen alot things happen. Some great & some not so great. I’ve heard alot of promises made and seen may of them go unkept.

Many have promised support and unwavering assistance only to come up short on integrity and accountability. But what I have found in my current primary company is nothing but the complete opposite. I have been amazed with the level and quality of support that has been extended to me and my team.

You see, I just have never ever met finer leaders than now. All of which have not only the utmost integrity and commitment but also an unparalleled work ethic and rock solid discipline. Leaders like Cedrick Harris, Larry Beacham, Ray Higdon and Chris Paraldi are some of those those first class business men to whom I am referring that have radically inpacted my results in the last 24 months.

One of these top earners is specifically will be flying up to meet me and my city-wide team up here in Toronto this week; His name . Christopher Paraldi. Even though I am miles away, he is still traveling on his schedule and on his dime to invest in my organization. Wow. What an honour to have this immense support and outstanding mentorship available in the network marketing industry.

Truly it was this one component I was always searching for in previous opportunities. Now I can say unequivocally and undeniably declare that I have the a dynamite company, the freshest product AND STELLAR LEADERSHIP!

If you’re looking to align yourself with great leaders, top earners, and dynamic producers, please contact me by phone TODAY at 416-882-5122
or send me and email and I shall call you back personally.After all I know you want to win just the same as I am now.

Thank you Cedrick for your unwavering example and that amazing first “12hr conversation” 2 years ago!

Thank you Ray for serving me and my team a few months ago and consistently setting the leadership pace!!

Thank you Larry for all the value you constantly deliver to me and others around you!

Thank you Christopher Paraldi for coming this week to make history in Toronto

“I just can’t lose with leaders like these!”
