An Unexpected Honeymoon Horror

An Unexpected Honeymoon Horror

If there is any single type of holiday that deserves more thought and organisation than any other, I think most of you would agree that honeymoons at the start of a happily  newly married couples lifetime together should get top spot.

I am about to share with you a recent experience that literally  took my breath away because of the reaction it attracted, however in hindsight it could merely have been my approach that rocked the boat.

For those that are not aware I am a representative of a global discount holiday club allowing it's member amongst other benefits, guaranteed best price on all travel and holiday experiences through an incredibly affordable savings plan. More details on request.

With that in mind, you can imagine that my chosen product line is very much end user friendly and with that also in mind you would think others would jump at the chance to explore how to add it to their own offerings.

Well, I recently approached a wedding organiser that obtains commissions for referring her clients to holiday companies who then go on to organise the happy couples honeymoons and the response was astounding.

My proposal was to explain how they could help save future happy couples hundreds if not thousands off of their honeymoon expenses.
If the lady owner of the company had broke for wind, I could have explained how this would result in a far greater income for her but sadly though, she was furious at the thought of lower prices meaning lower commissions and literally declared that she would much rather her clients pay more for their poxy glorified holidays.

Her disgust was so that I literally struggled getting a  word in edgeways so I basically made a polite retreat and ended the phone call.

Hopefully your shock at her apparent focus on GAIN rather than the quality or authenticity of my proposal for her clients will be on line with mine. Its not that I am sorry not to have introduced somebody else to my business but the sheer lack of care or interest at providing better for her clients that horrified me.

Now, I'm not going to criticise this lady any further because there is a good chance the blame of her reaction was in my own approach.

When marketing your business it is wise to try to determine where your contact is in relation to their own operations. On this occasion and due to the fact that it was she that phoned me due to my previously leaving a message with her receptionist, I was part way distracted by what I was doing when my phone rang and on request, led right in with my proposal.

In hindsight there is the possibility that her business is barely making profit, maybe it is simply a case of surviving one customer to the next. This is an extreme example and one I seriously doubt is anywhere near the truth but it does open up to a whole new approach that I intend to go back and put to her.

I'm not expecting to rescue what is probably an already written off option for her to entertain but I am going to go back and approach her with the question as to whether if I had led with the focus on increasing her turnover with minimal actual cost to her to see if that would have gotten me further.

There is a good chance that what transpired is a common but typical case of leading without listening. Something notable from many a good sales guide yet regularly and generally ignored through lack of understanding.  I admit to going in without initially investigating the needs or desires of my potential client, the result of which left me horrified. In all honesty the blame may lay entirely on my shoulders  for forgetting a simple but important step. Tomorrow will tell.

Thankfully this isn't one of my typical experiences but I can see how many of those struggling within the industry could well be dealing with a continuous flow of objections based simply on not listening first. Ask questions, get a feel for whether your product could fit into what they are looking for and make your move accordingly.

Even an objection free rejection can seem a triumph during the long haul. I hope that's give you something to think about during your next bout of calls,

Good luck and may your hard work be handsomely rewarded

Network Marketing Is Amok With Misguidance

Network Marketing Is Amok With Misguidance Probably Causing The 97%

Something that I like to do when approached to join someone else's networking opportunity is to ask them about their marketing strategies and how they are working out.

For me it's a foregone conclusion that if somebody introduces themselves with a direct link to their opportunity then their marketing is going to be somewhat flawed.

Sadly, the majority of the time my instincts are further reinforced by the sheer fact that my not jumping for joy at their introduction causes no further contact. I bet there's a few of you who will be familiar with what I mean there.

Add to this a quick look at what they are proposing is a great opportunity and it's easy to see why they will be jumping onto the next exciting launch that comes along. So what is it that causes so many to continually follow these poor tactics in the bid of making the big time?

For me it is the hype and misguidance provided by what ever opportunity they have chosen to follow. Sometimes it's a miraculous berry laid undiscovered except for the solitary tribe of natives who are living to 250 years of age by refining it's extracts, combining them with the oils of a fruit seen only once every 11 years and adding it to their regular diets. Oh, and they sold the licence to wrinkleberrygone.com for the sole purpose of retail via direct selling.

Or

It's the free to enter matrix where no monetary input is required in order to receive an income from recruiting other non paying members who all try desperately to market some low level strategic training material that the quality of which can be found freely anywhere you look online . OK, maybe not gardeners world or something like that.

My point is, these people come online to find solutions to their problems. For many it is monetary problems and having little to play with they become susceptible to offers that announce easy gain with little input or commitment.

Truth be known, network marketing can be really tough going for the newbie and with offers of easy money who wouldn't go for the easy option.

It needn't be hard though. With a little forward thinking, seeking out those that provide freely and taking a few  weeks out prior to jumping in, a typical newbie could come into the industry fully able to get it right first time. My personal opinion is that if more people took to learning before earning then the estimated 97% would soon drop to at least 79% or much lower. Why, because we would have a better class of marketers teaching the new newbies.

The punch line is, and yes it's a crafty one. I work with a team who are prepared to provide just such training at no charge. Why? because we're confident you will like what we do and we hope you'd choose to join us. If not, then you are free to go off and make your fortune your way but at least we're changing the percentage of failures.

Out of nothing and Know-how a way was made

The Sign of Freedom - Network Marketing

The Sign of Freedom in Network Marketing

For those pinning their hopes on making some level of income or even a living via the internet and Network Marketing  there are several free to enter opportunities to get involved with, but despite the sometimes irresistible offers of near instant rewards of income and supposedly ease of earning potential,  are they simply playing with peoples desires and emotions or is there actually a long term future without actually parting with your hard earned cash or trying to retail hard to market products.

Approached correctly Network Marketing can and does produce the best retirement income on the planet, it does allow ordinary people to become financially stable and with the correct attitude, guidance and ambition can and has produced many many millionaires. Sadly though, through it's own openness to all nature, it has also allowed far to many false hope opportunities to cause dream damaging scepticism to enter the hearts of many.

Unlike many of the free to enter opportunities where at some stage you'll most likely be asked to upgrade, purchase products or be required to retail some of little value, this little medallion on the left represents total freedom within the network marketing industry.

Total freedom within Network Marketing means zero payments, no monthly auto-ship, minimum orders or subscriptions to hosted websites. It means you've not only got no payment to make, it means you actually own your share of the company giving you marketing and earning potential for life. Almost sounds to good to be true doesn't it.

The downside is that it can't be obtained for nothing, however anything of true value rarely can. It comes down to the question of how much somebody wants to be part of something amazing and how much they are prepared to commit.

On initial viewing the sheer potential of what's on offer probably won't jump out at you, you will most likely be expecting some alternative or hidden plan, but World Ventures is a spark of new life within the Network Marketing industry, a company based on creating more fun and freedom and providing an enjoyable and rewarding way of obtaining it too.

I can't express the value of what's available and do it justice via this blog post but I can assure you that if you are looking for freedom within Network Marketing we have literally every tool you need, we  will show you how to use and enjoy them and help you every step of the way. Free to enter may seem appealing but we definitely have a better way.

As with any Networking opportunity I wouldn't expect you to jump right in so I'm open to Questions and answers to help guide you as to what to expect.

Live and prosper
