Entrepreneurs, Parents & Top Network Marketing Earners
Why? Because it works! It turns, it moves…simply work on perfecting it. In 1955, a gentlemen named Ray Kroc discovered a small hamburger restaurant in California. He saw machines doing most of the work. Taking all the guessing out of running a business. So he […]
As entrepreneurs, we don’t have someone standing over us telling us what to do. That can be a good and a bad thing. Sometimes hours, days even weeks can slip by us without doing a single thing if we aren’t intentional about our business. I […]
How many times have you heard that one?
Do you follow up?
When promoting a business, a lot of owners might tell someone about it, maybe give them a website or ask them to look something over and then follow up once…if that.
Then you may “not want to bother them,” because you figure they will get back with you if they are interested.
WRONG!
People are busy, you’re lucky if they look at what you asked them to look at let alone take any action.
As we have built our multi-million dollar business, we follow up with prospects for weeks, months…sometimes even years before they make a decision.
We do it because we know the fortune is in the follow up and we have something really great that the prospect just might not be quite ready for.
So we consistently contact them until that person asks us to stop.
That’s what it takes to build this business.
If that sounds uncomfortable to you, you will have the biggest successes outside of your comfort zone, so run to it!
Some companies give you something tangible like a flyer to give, with those, it does put you in a position to cross your fingers and hope THEY follow up.
That is NOT ideal.
You want to be in control of the follow up.
Depending on what you’re promoting, if there is something like personal before and after pictures of yourself that you can send via text, that is by far the best way to give them information AND gives you a way to follow up.
For our business, we call it blitzing.
Here is an example, take a listen to my husband Quintin…
Do you see how natural that can be?
It’s all in how you position yourself.
When you’re compelling like that, they aren’t going to say no.
Once you text them, you have their phone number to follow up…again…again…and again.
I want the imprint of this to be in your mind, so I’m going to say it again… the fortune is in the follow up!
And when you have their phone number you have something that is basically connected to them.
It just doesn’t get much better than that.
But you’ve got to dial that number to get the business!
Why do we want to shorten a URL? In the wonderful world of social media, we want our posts, pins, tweets, to be short and to the point. So if you have a URL that that looks like this… https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=how%20to%20shorten%20a%20url Well, that’s just not very appealing […]
Success can be very dangerous. It sounds odd, but let’s look deeper for a second. Success means many things to many people, but often what we see is people allow their temporary success inhibit them from long term greatness! All too often people chart […]
When my wife Lori started her business, I was to say the least…not excited.
I was working full-time as VP of a local bank and she was a stay-at-home mom with our 4 kids under the age of 6.
Life was extremely busy.
So as you can imagine, when she told me she started a business all I could think of was, WHY?
We don’t have time for this.
She could have quit right then and at that time I would have been totally fine with that decision.
However, she stuck with it and started making money.
Then paychecks got bigger and bigger and I realized there was something to this.
Take a listen to the best ways to support your wife’s business to make it work for your family.

If you’re in network marketing and lets say your products are in the health and diet category. Who is your ideal customer? I mean, we all need to be healthy and a lot of us need to diet a little bit. So who is it? […]
Have you ever wanted to show a grandparent something your child is doing live? Or maybe show someone your view from a hot air balloon ride? For me it hasn’t been easy to do, until now. You see, what you need is already attached to […]
Have you ever wanted to show a group of people something LIVE remotely but didn’t have a means to do it?
Maybe take them on a hot air balloon ride with you or get an urgent message out quickly.
You know, there are ways of doing this but it wasn’t very easy, it wasn’t just a click of a button.
Now, we have the Periscope app. 
It was launched for iphone in March of 2015 to discover the world through other people’s eyes.
They wanted to build the next best thing to teleportation.
Now, you can simply open your free Periscope app on your phone to show live events!
You can download it and use your Twitter logins, otherwise use your phone number.
After you download it and you’re ready to be on a live stream, select the broadcast icon.
Then you will see…
Go ahead and give it an attention grabbing headline where you see it say “What are you seeing now?”, you can even put emoticons to grab your followers attention in that title.
Then hit “START BROADCAST”!
You can have the camera face you so you will see yourself and see what’s going on, or you can turn it around to show things on the other side.
With Periscope, the goal is to get lots of hearts.
Ask viewers to tap their screen to give you those hearts, give them valuable content and do it consistently.
It’s just like anything else, consistency is the key!
Your viewers can also comment, which is always fun to watch.
At the end of your live stream, select the down arrow in the upper right hand corner to stop the broadcast.
You can also choose to record the video on your phone at the same time.
The benefit to that is to upload them to Youtube.
Most people do vertical videos so they can see the comments without totally blocking the video, so just know that in Youtube it will be a vertical video like the one below.
Take a look…
I know, I look crazy in this pic, lol.
But I wanted to show you what it looks like with the hearts and comments.
The goal just like anything else, is to be found.
You are ranked by the number of hearts people give you by tapping on their phone’s screen.
They can also leave comments, but the hearts are what matter the most so you want to encourage them to tap their screen to send the love…AKA hearts!
To get the hearts, you need a following.
Tweet on Twitter…
Twitter and Periscope are connected so you can easily gain a Periscope audience from Twitter if you have one.
Post that you are on Periscope, mention that they can log in with their Twitter logins and ask them to follow you.
But asking them to follow you is not enough though.
Depending on who you are targeting, make sure you give them a great reason to follow.
For example, “Follow me to discover how you can work part-time from home without ever picking up the phone.”
This goes for promoting on all social media outlets.
Always give them a reason to do something, something that’s in it for them.
Oh and also, while you’re broadcasting, you can ask them to right swipe their screen and share the video to their Twitter followers!
Post on Facebook…
Do a snapshot of your profile picture on Periscope, ask your audience to download the app for free and give them your name to search for.
Follow the guidelines above.
Hop on Periscope…
On Periscope, it shows the people with the most hearts, they are the ones that are easily found.
*Hint..hint…your goal is to be on that list!
Look at their description, if they are in a similar industry, follow them.
Make sure your notification settings is turned “on” so when they broadcast live, you can hop on.
You will begin to see others commenting, touch them, select view profile and see what their description is.
If it’s someone you can connect with and possibly do business with, go ahead and follow them and send them a message.
You can send a message hitting reply in the same screen you selected view profile.
Everyone on Periscope will see that message, IT IS NOT PRIVATE.
Just fyi 🙂
When you follow someone, they will likely follow you back.
Well, besides it being so easy…there are no do overs.
I don’t know about you, but I would do take after take on Youtube videos.
This is LIVE…once it’s on, it’s on and no do overs!
And…it’s only up for 24 hours, then it is gone forever!
Getting eyeballs on your offer is the single most important part of your business. If you have no eyeballs, you have no potential customers. Pinterest has become the leading way to get those eyeballs. First it was Google, then Facebook and now Pinterest! How […]
