Today’s question is….   How do I get over being worried about what other people think about Network Marketing and my decision to join a company?   ANSWER   Boy, can I relate to THIS question. I struggled immensely with this. And, most of it was made up stuff in my own brain and mis-information.   Sometimes, when you start a Network Marketing business, you must be willing to accept a temporary loss of Social Status with some people. Oh well!   Remember this - other people’s opinions don’t pay the bills! More on this later.   I have listened to hundreds of hours of interviews by entrepreneurs, outside of network marketing and do you know most of them have gone through the exact same thing?   When they wanted to buck the corporate system and take the entrepreneurial path, they got huge resistance from parents, family members, friends and those who wanted to “protect them” from themselves.   Think of Robert Kyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He’s “poor dad” or biological father told him to go to school, work hard, get

Today’s question is….   How do I talk to people without feeling like I have an agenda.   ANSWER   DO you have an agenda and if so, what is it? Write it down and sort through it?   This business is about planting seeds, that sprout and grow into trees that give shade to people you will never know.   Let THAT be your agenda.   What you don’t want to do is always be thinking about what you will get if they join? What YOU will make, and so on.   Think of how it can change THEIR life?   Their history…   Their family tree….for generations to come.   You are not asking for a favor, you are offering an opportunity, and believe it!   Every person who has ever made money in the network marketing profession will tell you that they are GRATEFUL to the person who introduced them. Indebted to them, even.   If you go into every conversation and remember that your prospect is asking - what’s in it for me, and you stop asking yourself the same question, you’ll see your results soar.   We don’t want anyone who can fog a mirror

Visit SocialMediaBackstagePass.com for details.   Today’s question is….   Do I lead with the product or opportunity, especially building online, with a blog.   India wants to know!   ANSWER     Begin with the end in mind. What is your “Most wanted response?”   Lead with the product, you get customers FIRST.   Lead with Opportunity - you attract those looking for a business.   First let’s cover that question offline and then move online.   Offline, it’s best to lead with common sense and “where you are with the prospect.”   When making your list, you take each person individually and decide how you want to lead, and again, what is your most wanted response?   Let’s take weight loss. A high demand market, for sur

Today’s question is….   I really want to be successful in my business, but how do I find the time? I’m so busy.     ANSWER   Well, I have to say, I love this question and I hear it A LOT!   Here is the thing - EVERYONE is busy. Seriously - you are not unique there. Sorry to say!   You will never FIND the time, you must make the time! PERIOD.   We all have the same 24 hours in the day, and we all choose what our priorities are. We do that, even if we aren’t thinking about it. Just look where you spend your time - THAT’s where your priorities are. Don’t like it? Change it!     Here are some ways to make your time count.   First decide your commitment - REALLY decide. Stop fooling yourself - DECIDE, COMMIT, PRIORITIZE.     CALENDAR everything - work, play, church, housework, and business time.    If it’s not on the calendar, it doesn’t get done.   Sit down with your family, share your WHY and what you are working to accomplish. Avoid hype and money claims.  Ask what they would like to do/have when you reach cert

Are you afraid of picking up the phone to call prospects about your Network Marketing business? Have you ever wondered about working with leads? Today's podcast features my interview with Dialing For Dollars Gal Tracy Monteforte. Tracy was a school teacher looking for a way to be home with her newborn when her sister introduced her to Network Marketing. She has had her share of ups and downs in MLM, including having a company close down in the US and being forced to move to another company. After joining a leads company, she began to master the art of working the phones, dialing for dollars and calling leads. This show will teach you how to make friends with your phone!

From running a successful family business, to finding network marketing, to troubles with the federal govt,  to court, to a shocking sentence, to prison, to success again, now a speaker and trainer on a worldwide stage.    You think you have challenges in your business?   When I first met Lisa, it was March, 2013 at the Association of Network Marketing Professionals event in Dallas, where we both spoke on the Social Media Panel. Somehow, I had missed her name in the MLM profession until about a year earlier.   Listening to an interview she did with Eric Worre, I became intrigued to meet and get to know this strong, yet gentle, ambitious, yet kind, seasoned and sweet person.   Today, the opportunity to interview her and draw out a little of her story brings me huge joy and a sense of satisfaction!   In 1988, she was introduced to Network Marketing. She had the good fortune to become part of a company that in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s was a starting point for where some of the greatest network marketing

Today, we are going to cover the power in developing stories and becoming a good story teller. You’ve heard it before - Facts tell, stories sell. And, yet think how many times we are tempted to blurt out nothing but the facts and features of what we are offering. As you are building rapport with people and building on those relationships, the stories you share about your life and how they relate to your business.   You will learn how to create a solid story to share so you can handle that question - How is it working for you? Once you can handle this question, you are well on your way to what you want. You’ll learn the importance in what you say and how you say it, so you don’t come off as salesy or like a telemarketer, which can be our worst fear, right? You must become a master communicator to be successful in your business and it all starts with telling stories.   Show notes - JackieUlmer.com/059    

Donnie Walker, who brings over 23 years of experience in our profession to the show today, is an inspiration with his "never quit" attitude! He is a self proclaimed graduate of the MLM school of hard knocks, since 1991, and has reached the top of at least 3 companies, only to start over again when his values did not aligned with those of the company. He is strong on honesty and integrity. His quote - "I love this industry for what it can do for the person, that doesn't think they can have more in life. Network Marketing can change lives forever." Multiple times, Donnie has built groups of ten and twenty thousand, only to find himself starting over when things didn’t line up. So, I asked him - how did you start over? Did you go back to your list; your old downline, or what? He started back in the time with no cell phones, fax, internet and the per minute charge to Australia was $25 a MINUTE! He incurred thousand dollar phone bills. While nothing beats the face to face encounter, Donnie was truly an early pione
