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

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.

What To Do After You Leave Your Company’s Live Event?

In our business and on our team  the philosophy of success is simple.  There are 3 mandatory things that any serious network marketer MUST do to experience exponential growth especially after leaving a motivating live event. Let’s face it we all have been there right? we get jacked up with the company event with the other 100o reps only to find ourselves back in that seat next event at the same level or worst less than where we were.

You see while many attend an event and leave elated, some just never seem to translate the feeling, the excitement, knowledge  and desire into any real results. What then is the solution. What component is missing? What is the strategy to get to the next level?

Here it  is.  The game plan to breakthrough?.  Simple. 1) Develop leaders, 2) duplicate with consistent work ethic and 3) build from event to event.

That’s it..

And this is exactly what my good friend and business partner Kenneth Bristol with Team United shared with me in this spontaneous and organic video right after we left our company’s 3 day intensive University style training.

Watch this short video clip and commit to do exactly what Kenneth shared. It really is  something any serious rep can do to experience the results they are seeking.  Once again develop leaders, duplicate and build function to function. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Commit to this and Kenneth & I will see you at the top!

Would You Ever Cancel Your Auto-Ship if it was Money?

Canceling your auto-ship? Now what sincere network marketer would ever want do that? The amount would actually startle you. 87% of those new to mlm will cancel their auto-ship in 67 days or less.

Let me lay the straight goods on you.

If you’ve been in the network marketing  industry or direct sales any length of time then you know what the two most common challenges that face most distributors regarding their monthly purchases. Recruiting reps and keeping people on an ongoing auto-ship.

Time and time again over my 10 years in the industry I have seen well meaning motivated reps buckle under the pressure & temptation to cancel their auto-ships because of these main reasons.

#1 Most financially can’t afford  it;  a $200-$500 monthly commitment just isn’t realistic for the average rep or modern family struggling to make ends meet especially in this soft economy.

#2 They don’t really need or want the product. Whether it was a juice, lotion, pill or potion. Most people faced with a financial crunch, the first thing they will let go of or axe is the expensive or pricey consumable  they are not even sure they really need in the first place.

Furthermore without getting some profit in the hands of that new rep within 67 days, they’ll not only cancel be out of business before they even got their franchise door opened.  This scenario happens more times than we can even imagine which is one of the reasons why the industry has such a low retention rate and a high turn over rate.

What have we proven ? It it simply this undeniable point: Money is a key factor in distributors, reps, home-based business people staying on or leaving their monthly auto-ship. As a matter of fact when educated properly about the complete, legal and allowable tax deferrals/ deductions available to independent  business owners, the best thing for the average employee or person struggling today to do to continue to stay on monthly auto-ship while running their home based business.  However I will dedicate a separate blog about this topic in the near future.

But now  imagine for a moment that your network marketing company’s product was “MONEY” Huh?  you ask…yes you heard me money. What if you could have the best auto-ship ever that was what I refer to as collectible money? Well if you did you certainly would never cancel that I assure you.

Question:  Didn’t we all join network marketing to make that stuff-MONEY? Well, what if you were a rep inside of a company where the product was money.  Every month the item you were being sent was MONEY and the product you were marketing was more MONEY, I think you’re getting my point….What if that company was actually shipping people money as their auto-ship on a monthly basis? And what if that money not only arrived every month without fail but it came in the form or GOLD or SILVER? I’m sure you’d agree that would be a major game changer for sure.

Well, now imagine you’re part of this company…would you ever for a skinny moment consider canceling that type of auto-ship? Listen to the below video of how to have more money and wealth all through having the word’s best auto-ship ever! Gold and Silver.

Oh yeah remember this very important fact. Average people collect paper but smart people collect gold and silver, and you certainly can as well starting today.
