I just want to take a moment and comment on Linkreferral, http://www.linkreferral.com/adwel.pl?oldrefid=262962

After setting this up a couple of days ago, I have seen a tremendous increase in blog/site traffic. I would highly recommend clicking the link above if you haven’t already done so, and setting up your links within the site. It does a great job of sending people to click into your site and review your site. The bottom line is, its another way to get exposure.

Month End is upon us

I have not yet blogged about the Tampogo.com/wipeouthunger opportunity and I think with the end of the month upon us, it is time to let you know more about it. Tampogo is an opportunity to not only build a great home/online business, but to really start giving back in a world that has been so good to us. I’ve always felt that we will be judged by how we treat the least among us.

With Tampogo, you have an opportunity to purchase an item on your online store at a significant discount over other online stores. Here you will find something you need or want to purchase as a gift. The best part is that with each purchase you will feed a child for a week.

Our CauseIn our first 13 days, TamPogo iReps fed 11,368 meals to starving children around the world. This is just the beginning! Imagine how many lives we can save every day by sharing the TamPogo story.

Starvation is a crisis that is not just found on late night TV adds, but is found in every country in our world. Our goal is to wipe out hunger and through a christian organization, www.fmsc.org, it is possible and TamPogo is dedicated to make this dream a reality. We have committed a percentage of every purchase to feed a starving child for one week. That’s right! EVERY purchase you make at TamPogo feeds a staving child somewhere in the world for one week. You can be part of the solution by providing hope and nutrition for a hurting child.

Now you have the opportunity to help Wipe Out Hunger, and build a business. Please visit my store www.tampogo.com/wipeouthunger and just make that one purchase to help feed a starving child, or you can sign up as an IREP and not only help feed a starving child but also earn commissions on each purchase that you make or anyone else makes through your own store.

This is:
Simple to get started
NO cost to get involved
Feed a child for a week with just one purchase
Build a business that keeps giving back with every purchase
Secure your financial future so that you can help the least among us

And maybe best of all, this is a brand new opportunity with incredible backing including one of the founders of Intermix (which became MySpace) Chuck Stebbins. Imagine, finally having the opportunity to be on the front of the wave crest, rather than the trough behind it.

You only get to make a first impression once!

You only get to make a first impression once!

We’ve all heard it before, and there is certainly a lot of truth to this statement. According to the “Executive Buying and Selling Study” conducted by the Real Learning Company, a Scottsdale, Arizona based consulting firm, you’ve got five (5) minutes to establish credibility when talking with your prospect.

Have we ever stopped to hear what we are saying in the first 5 minutes? It doesn’t matter what your opportunity is, the 5 minutes are the same for everyone. The next time you’re making a call to a prospect, tape record yourself, when you play it back you may really surprise yourself.

Right off the bat, we tend to tell them what we think they need, but really, do we know what they need without asking the question? You want to establish control of the conversation by asking questions. Start the conversation off with a question either about their current work situation or their current life situation (baby on way, college on the horizon). Everyone wants to talk about themselves and the best way to get them on your side and interested in what you have to say is to let them talk about themselves for awhile. Just make sure you are listening and not trying to practice your next lines in your head.

When you do speak, make sure you bring something of value to the table based on their previous response. Most people will talk too much about features and benefits instead of bringing value to the table. Instead of talking about how many layers deep you get paid, talk about creating a future of residual income and relate that back to a personal goal of theirs (sending kids to college?).

Just remember, the more your prospect talks within the first 5 minutes, the better chance you have of bringing them on board. Your prospects are looking for value… Value through their eyes, not your own eyes. So open up your ears and close your mouth, and watch your business grow!

Success in Selling

Jim Devitt — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 22:40:03 +0000

Your ability to control and direct the thinking of your prospect is directly related to your own ability to control your thinking. In other words, if you have a doubt, concern or objection, it is guaranteed that your prospect will experience the same.

Selling isn’t telling, listen to what the prospect’s needs are, they will tell you everything you need to succeed.

Closing a sale requires only one attitiude, the WILL to help and serve others.
