Using signage to get immediate high response to your recruiting and enrolling efforts

So you want exposure for your new home based business. But you don't want to spend much on advertising cost, right?

This is why signs and posters can be so beneficial when starting your business.

To get a good response, you want to have a lot of exposure and one way to do that is to make a large type, clearly printed sign or poster and place it in a high traffic area.

Here's what you need.

1. 11x17 inch card stock paper - This paper can be found a la carte at some copy shops, however, it is often hard to find in some areas. If you live in or around Orange County, CA, you can buy this paper at at place called Kellys Paper in Huntington Beach. They have other locations as well and they can be reached by dialing them direct. They specialize in many types of paper. 11x17 card stock cost about $20 for 250 sheets, so you figure that's less that 10 cents each.

You can use a number of different wordings for your product or business to inspire people to call you just to get the free information. You can use a template or you can just create new sign of your own in a program such as MS Word.

3. Take them to the copy shop and get copies blown up from a standard size sheet to the 11x17 sheet and you may need to experiment to get the sign the way you want it to appear on the card stock poster paper.

4. Once you have made the signs and you are ready to post them, be sure to buy an inexpensive staple gun from a Home Depot or Lowes for instance. Use it to staple the sign to wooden surfaces and other such surfaces.

TIPS

-Post your signs in highly visible areas, preferably in the early morning hours for 30 minutes to no more than 2 hours at a time. You can start a round at say 6, 7 or 8 am and beat the heavier traffic when scouting out good, high visibility locations such as major intersections and the such.

-Don't over-do your signage in any one area. You don't want anyone in the community to have a reason to resent you and your signs because, say, you're posting too many of them.

-"Crimp" the signs as you post them. Place 2 staples near the top middle, 2 near the center middle and two at the bottom middle for a stable hold. Crimping the signs as you post them to keep them from being "flat" where they can be more easily blow around by wind and the like.

-Always as yourself "Is it visible?". In other words, will a reasonable amount of people see it?

-Using an Earnware Toll Free phone number, you have the ability to capture every single phone number who calls it, so that you won't miss the chance to get back to anyone. Also, you have the ability to block any numbers that you don't want to receive calls from.

You must have the eye of the tiger

Remember, when it comes to network marketing, you don't want to take it lightly.

As a new business partner in this industry, you don't want to let the game of chance play with your future!

You want to make solid progress and you want to make sure you accomplish your goals on a daily basis.

To do this, it's going to take something more than the average person has.

It takes a strong desire to accomplish your goals no matter what. If that means making do with what you got, then so be it.

Don't get caught in the trap of telling yourself you're going to wait until the conditions are just right. In fact, the conditions may never be as good again as they are right now.

Become a professional at what you do.

Study and train, quickly, passionately. Read books by the best marketers, copy and emulate the exact words that they say and the things that they do.

Listen to and copy, word for word, the exact wording and phrasing being used by leaders in our industry and become a professional actor, a professional duplicator, a professional provider of information and an active mover, shaker and closer.

This means that you must talk to a vast number of people quickly. You must start each day with a super powerful motivation and eagerness to live the life of your dreams.

Don't expect network marketing to be easy. Don't expect it to just start happening and for things to change without you making changes.

This means getting down to the nitty-gritty. Getting down to business. All B.S. aside. It's time to get on the phone. If for no more than at least the very minimum of 1 hour at a time to start.

This will warm you up and allow you to get the marbles out of your mouth. It will allow you a baby step. It is better to practice crawling before we try to walk, because otherwise we take a hard fall and get discouraged.

Also, we may not have a bunch of leads to start with. We not have a fresh list of interested people to call. After all, if this was easy, do you think it would be such a great opportunity? No, however it is simple. You can learn it...anyone can, however, it's kind of like starting a fire with 2 sticks. Unless you are taught a proven technique by someone who already knows what they are doing, it may be a long time if you ever figure out how to make fire by yourself.

And just like starting a fire with sticks, starting a network marketing business takes some serious determination and a focus on technique, however if you read and studied a proven method and you learned and duplicated every little nuance and then applied it consistently, wouldn't that drastically increase the odds that you would start a large, raging fire or, for that matter, a furious and raging business....if that makes sense?!

So, read the masters of sales and enjoy the things you learn and the mastery you will gain by plugging in and learning from the masters of our industry such as Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Tom Hopkins, Mark Yarnell and many others.

Remember, you are the underdog and in order to win, you better be prepared, you better have your plan laid out. 99% of successful people have WRITTEN GOALS.

So then, doesn't it make sense to write down our goals? Doesn't it make sense to keep track of some basic statistics?
