This thought today is short and simple BUT powerful!

I just finish my telephone call with a person that called me after he saw me blog and Facebook fan page and he was frustrated and was asking for advice.

I came across some “buzz” on this company and Tony Rush, one of the people involved with Avant. This new company has a “different” feel to it that will either appeal to you or not.

I get asked all the time. “Al Rod, what do you think about this MLM opportunity?”

When you start something new it is very hard to know ahead of time what tools and knowledge you’re going to need. Combine this with a natural resistance towards spending money on an unknown venture and you’ll likely wind up lacking something that’s essential to your business.

Marketing and lead generation is the main priority to your success but your state of mind or your inner game is actually more important than any marketing you could do.

I’m asked all the time about how to make money and to be honest with you I hardly knew the answer for a long time. You see I am not much different than you and others that simply want to make some money from home but get caught up in all the fancy systems and techniques; then another one and then another one…

There is so much confusion right now as to how to build a successful home based business. I Totally understand that as I too fell into all the GURU ideas and opted into list after list to find out the HOW of making money from home.

It’s almost funny to see the MLM guys in one corner and the Top Tier guy in another as to what is best. I have to tell you the truth; marketing is marketing and you just have to find something you like and then apply yourself.

1. Connecting with People – We have all heard of know, like and trust BUT a huge mistake people make in prospecting, marketing and sales is that they will can not build a strong rapport or connection with their prospects before pitching them on their business; Nuriche or any other. This makes the business very difficult, no fun and full of rejection. Plus others see your business (the business you want them to join) for only “sales types” and just a pitch-fest. Simple remember to create the relationship first, the “friendship” and the rest will tend to fall in place. If you don’t have a good connection with your prospect, you’ll never know his/her real objection. It sounds corny, however people want you to be interested in them, to care about them and if the connections is there it opens it up to discuss their concerns, objections and desires for your business in a much more open and easy manner. This if often overlooked and if you place this into practice, people will trust you more, connect with you better and that will result in sponsoring more people.
