Networking from home - How to track contacts and phone calls
Here are two very important, basic tools you can use to immediately to start building and tracking your list of contacts. Log and "cultivate" every contact that you make into your list. Your call log reminds you of all calls for the day and what happened on each call.
As we talk to those contacts, we always try to find out something new about them, such as other forms of contact like their email address or FAX, what they have done for a living and anything else that helps to create a better bond.
Use low cost, super effective marketing methods to initiate you business. As your business grows, steadily use some of your profits to leverage your marketing efforts. Remember, a huge budget is never required in order to get a bunch of warm bodies together ready to learn and perform like minded tasks such as a virtual business network like the Trilithon Business Network.
Use this prospect log page below to attract and log more calls and contacts on a daily basis.

Networking training - Recruiting new customers/partners
Network marketing training
Network marketing can be done a number of ways. What we are concerned about is what works. We are not worried about the way things should be. We are simply worried about the way things are.
We never prejudge contacts. We never know who will be interested.
We build a permanent list of contacts, cultivating additional information like email, fax number, skills and any other relevant information.
We constantly keep a heavy influx of new people calling/emailing in wanting information in response to a curiosity based advertisement that can be in a number of different forms, this is our marketing.
We respond to any inquiries as soon as possible and we simply get the email or fax so that we can send out the information.
We get a commitment from the prospect to review the information and we let them know we will be touching base with them with about 2-3 days just to make sure they got to see the information.
We send them a brief, enticing sizzle tool...such as a corporate video or pre recorded call.
We follow up and simply ask right away if they would like to get started. It don't have to be pushy, it can be friendly, no pressure.
We never underestimate the number of people you will need to talk to.
The more people receiving the information the better.
We contact new prospects about our product or business for at least 1 diligent hour per day...and remember, it does take work!
We treat it like a serious telemarketing job while we are actually working. In other words, we make goals and achieve them. We make goals like dialing say 50 phone numbers or having say 3-5 good conversations.
We don't expect to be great overnight, we understand that we need to train. To earn professional incomes, we have to read professional materials and listen to professionals speak.
We not only listen to the greatest salespeople, we also copy them word for word, nuance for nuance. We simply copy the voice tone, speech and wording of the masters such as Donald Trump or Jim Rohn for example.
We heavily invite people to company business briefings and events. If we have a local meeting, we attend that meeting every week and we try to participate in at least a small part of the meeting.
If we have no meeting in our area, we hold a small local meeting at say a coffee shop like Starbucks for instance. We invite as many people as we can to meet with us and we use a basic flip chart to give a basic presentation.
We maintain integrity and we treat every invitation like an appointment. We understand that many appointments will fall through, we expect the best results, but we prepare for the worst.
We never underestimate the number of people we will need to talk to!!
We use and explore our products whenever possible to know everything about them and how to save money with them.
We learn every detail there is about our compensation plan and our bonus structure. When it comes to compensation, knowledge is power.
We visualize and plan out the process of enroll new customers. We make sure we understand every step needed to be taken in order to process our business.
We plus into conference calls, if for nothing else, to check in an announce that we were there.
We invite as many people to the conference calls each day as possible, especially when, they can't be at a meeting or briefing.
We use local briefings and meetings, at the same time, we realize that business can be done all completely from home using the phone and/or internet only if we choose to do so.
We make notes about every call that we're on throughout the day either using a paper call log sheet or noting results on the "contact card" in our contact management system.
When people call us, we call them back as soon as possible to attempt to get the some immediate information, if we don't get an answer, we generally don't leave any message unless it really calls for it, we simply try to call back the next day, if no answer, then call back in 3-7 days and follow up every 5-7 days until you get an answer.
We are persistent, we are defiant, we think well outside the box, we are innovative.
We are always thinking of new ways to get a lot of new inquiries to send out some information to.
We use curiosity based marketing tools with vague, enticing messages and direct points of inquiry like a toll free phone number that captures every phone number or an internet squeeze page that a person can read and the submit their name, phone number and email in exchange for say a "free gift" or the like.
Our goal is to cultivate a huge list of contacts that we have at least some kind of limited relationship with regardless of our business. In other words, by expanding and building are "warm market", we then have a warm market to work with.
We keep our warm market updated with the latest products and opportunities we have.
We realize that our main asset is our ability to help enough other people get what they want.
People want attention. People want to feel important. People want to know their opinion matters. Online, people want to know you are real...period!
We realize that before we can exude confidence with anything, we must study it.
Study your compensation plan and know everything there is to know.
We use our upline sponsor to help us with presentation and anything else within reason to get the job done. They might want to help you more than you do! Help them by staying in close contact.
We realize that during the rise of people in business, we can only expect to be successful if we spend time talking and hanging with those people who want the same things we want.
We focus on at least 3 serious conversations per day...if we are super serious, we go beyond that.
We are fierce, determined, goal oriented, we have strong desire, we have vision, we keep our business plan simple and effective.
If nothing else, we work for at least 60 minutes a day.
And finally, we never underestimate the number of people we are gonna need to talk to!

Sponsoring phone script for networkers
How to sponsor new business partners in networking opportunities
Recruiting Script I. Introduction * ONLY IF OUTGOING CALL OR APPROACH “Hello, my name is YOUR NAME. I’m a recruiting assistant for a legal network and I was just calling/stopping to ask if maybe you could use an extra $2 or 300 a week working from home?” “Ok and my name is ______, may I ask your name?” * ONLY IF INCOMING CALL “Hello, this is _________, how may I help you?” “Ok and may I ask your name?” “OK and in case we get disconnected, what is the best number to reach you at?” (Get NAME, PHONE NUMBER) II. Briefing What we do is set you up with your own (insurance) business. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in? Great! We provide legal services and identity theft protection to our customers. We currently have about (X number) customers, but we are also growing at a record pace. So we are looking for associates who can immediately start marketing our services in your area and maybe even become a manager. So does that sound like a service you could tell people about? Ok great! Like any business, you determine your own schedule, you can work as little or as much as you like. Are you OK with that? Associates usually start part time and earn between $500-1,000 the first month. However, many associates earn over $100K a year. Would that help with some of your financial goals? III. Money qualifier “ OK, great! This is a very lucrative opportunity, but it’s not a job, it’s a business and just like any business you start on your own, there is some initial investment required.” (Wait for them to ask how much, if they answer negative, just offer to send some info by email or fax or mail if you have to.) “Start up cost is $X. So I got to ask, if you did like the particulars to the business, would $X be within your reach?” “Ok great! That pays for everything you need to get starting, including product brochures and fully automated website. IV. Company and product "Have you ever heard of Pre Paid Legal services before?" "Pre Paid Legal is a 37 year old New York Stock Exchange company. We are members of the Better Business Bureau and many other associations.” “Instead of leaving most people out of the legal system, Pre Paid Legal provides potentially unlimited legal counsel and services directly from a professional law firm for a low monthly membership.There is no contract and the service works well with individuals and business owners." "Pre Paid Legal members can talk to an attorney to ask questions, receive legal advice and it's perfect for situations where people are being treated unfairly. Things like wrongful traffic tickets, not getting a refund or replacement at a store, problems with the IRS or real estate problems." “Now to have an attorney on call at any time to help with legal matters and review important documents is an indispensable service and to have such a service could cost a lot of money. However, Pre Paid Legal has pooled the buying power of our members by paying 1/3 of all membership fees directly to provider law firms for preventative legal services to our customers. At $36 a month or less, our service is affordable and we are currently getting over 50,000 new customers a month and we just had our best year in business.” “There is no experience needed and you can work from wherever you like. As for the income potential, Pre Paid Legal has many success stories and has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to associates in the field. So I got to ask, if the compensation plan was lucrative and the company was reputable, do you see any reason why you wouldn't want to get started on something like this?” (Pause, allow them room to breath) V. Compensation “Great, now there’s 2 ways to earn income with Pre Paid Legal. One way to get paid is from personal sales and the other way is through overrides and bonuses.” “Our flagship product is a $36 membership with a one time $10 registration fee...a total of $46 to the customer. On that little $46 transaction, the very minimum amount you will earn is $34.50 and you can even have it wired directly into your bank account the next day. You’ll also continue to earn repeat commissions for the life of the customer as they renew their membership.” “You also have the opportunity to act as a broker, such as a real estate or insurance broker has licensed agents who market and sell services and the broker earns overrides. You can also earn overrides on the sales made by other associate members that join Pre Paid Legal as your associate partners.” “Let’s keep it simple and say just one of your clients also wants to sell the membership to make some money too. You start building a team and you get promoted, then your compensation will immediately double, going up from $34.50 to $69 and then it doubles again to $138 per sale and all the way up to over $250 directly into your bank account as soon as the next day for each membership you personally market.” “Now, just say you’re just a manager, which is very attainable. When you are a manager, any new associate in your group will earn you an override of $103 whenever they market a membership.” “Let’s just say that you have 3 new associates who are just marketing 10 memberships per week between the 3 of them. Just multiply $103 times 10 and you can do the math. If they market 10 memberships each, that’s $103 times 30. You do the math, that's over $3,000...and you weren’t even there!” “The best part about this plan is that many of our customers and partners stay with us and this translates into permanent residual monthly income for you, meaning that income will continue to come in and be paid on membership renewals long after you done sitting under a palm tree, if that makes sense?!” "Great and so one of the best things about going into business with Pre Paid Legal is that we give you all the training and tools you need to start your business successfully." "You will also have access to a contact management system that will help your business grow quick and run smoothly, sending out automated email campaigns and tracking the traffic to your website. The tools will take most of the selling out of the picture, so you can focus on sharing the information with new people." VI. Close “Getting started as a member or as a business owner is easy. The most popular option is to just get started with our fast start associate program. This program allows you the opportunity to make cash faster by getting you promoted faster.” “When you submit your associate application, methods of payment accepted include bank account or major credit or debit card. Your application usually takes about a day to process completely. Once it’s submitted, your account is activated, your websites are set up and you can start your training and you can start submitting new business immediately.” “In addition to that, we also ship your member package to your home with all the information you need to use our provider law firms for your own legal needs within a few short business days.” “So, when you get started, would you be willing to work at least an extra 5-10 hours a week to start your business part time?” “Great! So if you see the benefits and you like the idea of having your own business, all we would need is a little basic information from you and we can get you set up right away and we can even help walk you through the entire process!” (Pause) “Keep in mind, this program is not for everyone. It’s mainly only for people who want to make more money working primarily from home. There’s nothing complicated training needed and anyone can do this. When someone tries our membership, they just complete a one page application and you can do business in person, through FAX and on the internet, so it’s simple.” “The best part about the income is that it’s residual which can allow you to have the time and freedom to spend doing personal things that you really enjoy. Now I don’t now how important your personal time is to you….but if it is important to you, I’m sure you can see the benefits to having residual income, right?” “Now what I can promise you is that Pre Paid Legal will provide you with a strong, solid foundation which to build your business on, so that you have the best chance of success and in order to get started, all I would need from you is a little bit of basic information starting with the address you would like to have your initial business owner kit and welcome package sent to.” “How would you handle the initial investment?” (At any time during the conversation, especially when the prospect ask questions, tell them that you have a manager or director who may be able to give the most accurate answer and share his experience with Pre Paid Legal, “If you just hold on the line a moment, I’ll see if he/she is available…!” Speak highly of your upline and dial in to a three way call with your upline for maximum credibility with your new prospect.)

Home based business training - Networking business model
Home Based Business
I was just writing a little bit of a quick note here just to invite you to call me if you want or need any support.
I brought you into this business to teach you the methods I'm using to have success
At the same time, I can't really chase anyone down and make them work
My question is if you are really serious about making an immediate change in your finances?
Because if you are, that's what I'm here to help you do
Remember, DO NOT COMPLICATE your business!
It's simple, invite people to get free information on how they can save or make a little extra income part time.
It's a numbers game and the only way you get good at it is to run the numbers.
Do not present the program. Invite people to talk with me or your next upline manager/director!
We are both here to do nothing but help you grow your business for obvious reasons.
Our success is entirely dependent on your success.
There is no one secret to this business. It takes hard, diligent work.
However, that is work reduced in as short a time as you like.
This is network marketing, we are in business to make money and we do that by expanding our sales force and sharing the profit.
Now's the time to bring these benefits to the marketplace with a super serious passion.
Now's the time to become a superstar
Now's the time to start changing your thinking, your methods and recognizing how far reaching your limitations really are.
Now's the time to learn a revolutionary new business model that allows virtually anyone anywhere to start having success
This is a real business that sells a real product.
Your company is just the product, we are the marketing force.
We are the group of dynamic individuals who bring this product to the market.
It's kind of like every Ford dealership sells the same cars. We all sell the same product.
It's sold to us at wholesale and we sell it at a marked up price. We sell it alone or in conjunction with any other products or services
We are just the owner of our own dealership from day one.
We are in business for ourselves and our results are totally dependent on us
See, the key to having success here is DUPLICATION
And you must know what your goals are!
You must know what it is you need to be duplicating
With your company, you make your first promotion pin with just a few sales generally
Once you have achieved this first goal, this proves that you
have what it takes, you know what to do and you now have
the capability to show someone else how to do it since you
just did it yourself.
When you recruit just a handful of other serious business partners who
go out and get their handful of sales then you will qualify for
another promotion, which usually means more income.
Always here to help,
Your friend and partner,

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.
Aside from Kelly Paper, you can also get this particular card stock paper 1 sheet at a time at some copy shops, such as Copy 4 Less in Huntington Beach and other parts of Orange County, CA. The contact info for Copy 4 Less in listed further below.
Kelly Paper
7391 Count Circle
Huntington Beach, CA 92647-4551
(714) 596-6661
2. The next thing you want to have in place is your master copy of your sign content. 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.
Best copy prices in Orange County include different branches of Copy 4 Less shown below.
Copy 4 Less
18828 Brookhurst St
Fountain Valley, CA 92708
(714) 375-5838
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.

-"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?
