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 !

What: Learn the Language of your Prospects

Most successful Network Marketers know you have to talk to people in order for them to either be interested in your product(s) and/or services or your business opportunity. However, what most don’t realize is that if you say the same thing to four different prospective clients, it’s very likely you will get four different reactions.

Join us May 21, for a more in depth study of the 4 primary personality types. Come and learn how to spot different personalities, what their main interests are, how best to tailor your offering to their ‘hot spots’ and how to determine a person’s personality before you even speak to them.

If you are in any type of business, this information will be of benefit to you and your entire organization.

As you know, these Meetups are all generic. So bring your friends and business partners.

Join us at 6:30 for dinner.  The meeting will start promptly at 7:00 PM.

Bring the most guests and receive a free CD Set from Tom "Big Al" Schreiter’s Collection.  Visit the Meetup group to RSVP and to get the location.

… including "How to get 300+ prospects listening to you."

Tip #1: "How to speak the secret language of your prospects."
The most fun of the 25 skills I teach. Here is a free mini-course
that you can enjoy now.
http://www.fortunenow.com/products/item13.cfm
Tip #2: How not to be a leader.
Here is the message I heard on my worthless sponsor’s answering
machine:
“Thanks for calling and remember this call costs $3.95 for the
first minute, and 95 cents a minute thereafter.”
Okay, that’s bad, but what does your voice mail or
answering machine message say? Is it uplifting? Inspiring?
Tip #3: Want to know when a "live" Big Al Workshop is
near you?
One way to make sure the workshop is near you is to
invite me to your area. Just drop me an email at:
bigal@fortunenow.com

I just received this in Tom "Big Al" Schreiter’s newsletter and wanted to share it with the group.

Ten ways to be a leader.

Everyone tells us to be a leader, but they never tell us how. Dale Carnegie tells us exactly how. If you haven’t read his book, you are missing a treat.

1.  Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

2.  Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly.

3.  Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.

4.  Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.

5.  Let the other person save face.

6.  Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement.

7.  Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.

8.  Use encouragement.

9.  Make the fault easy to correct.

10.  Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

                                        – - Dale Carnegie (1888-1955)

Tom "Big Al" Schreiter is going to teach us the Magic Sequence of Words!

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 disbelieve.

We all know how frustrating it is when your 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.

Visit the Meetup Group to RSVP and get the location.

Join us for food at 6:30 p.m.; the meeting starts promptly at 7:00 p.m.
