There are people out there that worry about the level of support they’ll receive when they get started in a business opportunity such as Empower Network.
Heck, you might even be one of those people.
Maybe you’ve been part of an opportunity in the past that didn’t really work out, and you blame it on the support you didn’t receive.
Well, first off, get that out of your head. If you fail, it’s nobody’s fault but your own….
For those of you who are new to the online marketing world, you’ll hear time and time again, “the money is in the list.” Which is absolutely true. Many dollars are to be made through email marketing. However, there’s a trick to sending autoresponders to your list which not only captivate those who actually open the email, but also calls them to action.
The first thing you need to realize about your list, is that your list is sacred ground. I’ve seen others promote almost anything to their list, things which they haven’t even looked into personally. Instead of treating their list like a gold mine, protecting it from the rest of the world, they treat it like a dump, throwing trash at it as fast as they possibly could hoping to get something of value back.
Today I’d like to share with you a simple tactic that will not only help you in building a larger team, but will also help your individual team members know that they’re not alone. It’s not really a tactic, it’s just something all of us should do, and many of you probably already do this on your training calls and webinars. It’s simply validation.
Validation means to make valid, substantiate or confirm. So when I talk about validation, it’s simply confirming someone’s decision to get started with you in your business and recognizing them for something they can be proud of.
Simply validating, or recognizing someone on your team can make a huge difference in their business. For some, recognition can turn into a small fire of fuel behind their future success. It does something to a person to be noticed for the actions they’re taking. It helps them to confirm to their own self that their choices up to this point have been validated by someone who they consider to be an authority figure. And whether you believe it or not, if you’ve ever signed up anyone, even if it’s just one person, into your opportunity, then you are their direct authority figure.
If you’re having trouble recruiting others into your business, when all else fails, just cry. Let me explain why.
In my last post I told a story of my wife’s recent recruitment into a home based business. But in case you weren’t able to read it, I’ll tell you the story again.
But before I tell you the story, I want you to know that my wife had no intention whatsoever in joining the opportunity she is now part of. The only thing she wanted was to get her product for free. And the deal was, if you can get three others to buy the same package you want, you can get yours for free.
That was her plan.
So, she planned the home party and invited a handful of her friends to check out the product with her. Several women were interested because the product is related to the health and wellness industry and helps you to lose weight. So naturally, women come flocking, right? I know, if you’re a woman and you’re reading this, you probably just called me a jerk.
