Calling all networkers!!!

As announced by Tom "Big Al" Schreiter at our last meetup:

Your local Network Marketing Meetup Group is sponsoring a terrific evening of fun and learning. And … you might get some awesome training and networking materials for pennies.

We are asking all the local network marketers to:

1. Empty your shelves of all those CDs, Audio Tapes, and books about network marketing that you have reviewed, and probably won’t use again. Bring and donate all your old generic network marketing materials that you don’t want to our charity auction.

2. Come and join us as we are going to auction off all these materials. You might get a set of Jim Rohn CDs for $1, $20 or ??? Or maybe you can get a great MLM training book for 25 cents Or how about a massive audio tape library from one of the greats in network marketing for only a few dollars?

3. 100% of money raises will go to Houston Aeros Charities - Tickets for Kids program:

Tickets for Kids is a program that allows the opportunity to purchase blocks of tickets at a discounted price to donate to underprivileged children in the Houston area.

.4. And you can go home with great networking materials to give you brand new ideas for your business.

This is generic event for networkers from all companies. Let’s learn together and make our profession the best.

If you haven’t met Keith Schreiter, now’s your chance.

Professional Network Marketers know how important events and trainings are. We are thrilled to bring you Tom “Big Al” Schreiter to start the New Year off with a bang of new material for some and an excellent refresher for others.

Get your prospects to immediately accept and believe the good things you say.

How?

By changing the sequence of your words.

Yes, it is that easy to place your information inside your prospects’ heads and have them believe instead of dis-believe.

We all know how frustrating it is when our prospects don’t believe us. Here is your chance to change that forever.

We will learn magic phrases and sentences that go immediately to the decision part of the prospects’ brains, and these phrases will pre-sell your prospects.

Imagine what it would be like to have your prospects agreeing, nodding their heads, smiling, and in total rapport with you and your message.

Start learning these magic phrases and sentences now, and put them to use within minutes of the workshop. You will be shocked and amazed at the new world awaiting you.

There is a small fee to attend this workshop (to help cover the cost of the meeting room.)  If you are a member of the Houston Network Marketing Meetup Group, the fee is $10, if not a member the fee is $20 per person.  Fees are collected at the door.

Date:  January 07, 2009

Time:  7:00PM

FREE marketing campaigns to the hundreds of free social
networks on the Internet.

You’ll love it.

Now you can be talking to real people, with real needs
that your product, service or opportunity can fill.
Stop cold-calling and lead-chasing forever.

You don’t have to be an Internet or computer expert

these easy step-by-step instructions to create your own
marketing campaign.

This is a "live" and interactive, hands-on training
with limited seating.

What a great event.  Tom "Big Al" Schreiter shared some killer 1st sentences for starting a conversation, starting a presentation, closing a presentation.

Here are some pictures from the event.

The next meetup has already been scheduled.  Mark Davis will be the guest.

In order to build a successful business, we’ve got to keep learning new skills.  The Houston Network Marketing Meetup Group is a great way to do that without being pitched on someone else’s ‘deal’.

See you at the next event.

Tom "Big Al" Schreiter - Back by popular demand. 

Prospects make an immediate decision based on the first sentence out of your mouth. If your first sentence is good, your prospect will look for reasons to join.

If your first sentence is bad … well, your prospects will look for reasons not to join.

Learn this important skill at the live workshop! There is a small fee to attend this workshop $20.00 (to help cover the cost of the meeting room.) If you are a member of the Houston Network Marketing Meetup Group (http://www.meetup.com… ), the cost will be $10 at the door.

Because seating is limited, please reserve your seat as soon as possible by RSVP’ing

As soon as "Big Al" confirms a location, we will get it posted.

The One Minute Presentation

Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone we invited to an opportunity meeting actually showed up, eager and ready to take action?

Let’s look at where that system is breaking down. It’s before we ever get to the presentation meeting

We spend too much time trying to convince unqualified people to join
It is not true that every one breathing on their own, who has a pulse – is a prospect We do the show up and throw up system – too much information.

What do you NOT need in your 1 Minute presentation:

1. The Company P&L statement
2. Who is the President
3. If you were the 33^rd fastest growing company anywhere
4. How many millions of dollars in sales the company did.
5. What percentage of growth the company had last quarter
6. Details on the comp plan.
7. How many colors/sizes/features/prices/bps/cvs, etc
8. How much time and money is spent on the quality assurance
9. Money back guarantee
10. The corporate Jet, building, # of customer service reps

Here are some questions prospects WANT to know:

1. What do I have to do?
2. Tell me a little about the product or service
3. Is it reasonably priced
4. Will others want this?
5. Can I do it?
(Watch your terms- linear, residual – consider using on-going until you explain “Rock and Roll” income or “Mailbox” money.All the things a prospect does not need to know in a 1 minute presentation is something they should get as "training")

If you start with the attitude that …. here’s the facts…. that’s it.  Then the decision is up to the prospect.

Many prospects think they must become a salesperson to do Network Marketing, when in truth Network Marketing is about building relationships, referring and recommending…… not "pitching, pushing, prodding, convincing, or selling".

So, here’s the format for the 1 Minute Presentation:

1.  Let your prospect know they do not need to change.  The prospect does not have to become something he/she is not,  just continue to refer and recommend just like they always have - movies, books, shopping, etc….

2. Let your prospect know WHAT your company has to offer, for multiple services or products, just give them 2-3 ideas based on the ones you like and ask if they think they could find however many they liked and feel comfortable recommending those?  Remember that we do not all have to like the same things.

3. Ask your prospect if between everybody they talk to and everybody they talk to, so on and so on, does your prospect think with your help and your team’s system that they might could find X number of people who looked forward to using Company ABC’s products/services on a regular basis?

If the prospect leans forward and says ”tell me more", then you can take one of several paths:

1. Ask questions such as:  What would you like to know - don’t assume you know

what they want to know.

2.  LOAN the prospect a third party tool, like your company DVD, CD, Magazine (let the person know you will need to get the ‘tool’ back from them within a reasonable period of time)

3.  Invite them to the ‘training’ session that is coming up (you know -  that presentation meeting). 

If the prospect says "no", then leave him/her alone.  No need to spend time trying to convince someone to be interested.  Remember, we can’t ‘make’ someone want to have a dream or see the vision in Network Marketing that we do.

Thanks to everyone who came for making it a great, interactive Meetup.

From the desk of Tom "Big Al" Schreiter.

Why some networkers get great referrals, and other networkers suffer from a lack of prospects.
The answer is easy: guilt and embarrassment.
Think about it. When you are asked for referrals, what’s the first thing that comes into your mind?
You think,

"Oh, no. What if I recommend my friend and this salesperson is rude, offensive, pushy, dishonest or a jerk? Will I lose my friend’s respect and friendship? Rather than run the risk, I’ll just pretend that I don’t know anyone I can refer."

We don’t want to feel guilty or embarrassed. That’s why we pretend we are hermits, orphaned, or extreme and lonely introverts.
The solution?
When you ask for referrals, make your prospect or customer feel comfortable by:
   * Explaining exactly the type of person you are looking for.
   * Explaining that you will be courteous and polite, just as you were with him or her.
   * Explaining what you will say or do with the referral.
   * Explaining that you will first send a courtesy letter to let the prospect know that you will be calling.

Picture from the Magic Sequence of Words workshop with Tom Big Al Schreiter July 07, 2009

Thanks to all the Houston Network Marketing Meetup members for attending and a special "Thanks, Big Al", for inviting the Meetup group to attend your "Magic Sequences of Words" workshop.

Those who attended learned WHY and HOW to use some seemingly ordinary but actually mind bending sequences of words:

Would it be ok if …
If - Then
Most People ..
Everybody Knows
Everybody Says
So what is going to be easier for you?

As Big Al recommended, if we start working these key phrases into our everyday conversations, they will become so natural we won’t even realize we are manipulating the subconscious minds of others ALL the time.

So STAY TUNED !!!!!

Those who attended the Houston Network Marketing Meetup Thursday evening learned a valuable technique when ‘listening’ to others.

If you would like the notes Shari used during the presentation, click here and save to your computer.  Click here for a ‘completed color chart’.

Good questions to ask in helping you determine a person’s personality:

1. What type of work do you do? What do you like best about it?

What do you like least about it?  G Y B R

2. What is the most fun thing you do in your normal day?  G Y B R

3. What would be your ideal way to earn a living?  G Y B R

4. Tell me about your level of self-confidence? G Y B R

5. Tell me about your closest friend. G Y B R

6. Are you more of a people-person or are you more comfortable being by yourself?
G Y B R

7. Tell me how you make decisions? (What process do you go thru?) G Y B R

There are also other resources available that can help us go from learning that this ’secret language’ exists to near mastery.  However, as Tom “Big Al” Schreiter says, if you can get it right 50% of the time, that’s good too.

You might want to add this to your Network Marketing Skills library.

From Tom “Big Al’s” site. (clicking will take you directly to his site)

Learn the secret language of prospects, that INSTANTLY goes to their minds and to their hearts . . . so that you can say just a few sentences and your prospects will want to join!

There is also a 100 page E-Book available.  Contact Jennifer Fisher, for details.

Please note the Organizers do NOT receive any financial benefit from the sales of any skills tools from any source.

Happy Networking !
