Editor | MLM Training Tips | Monday, January 18th, 2010

Excellent! You’re back.

It takes a real leader to check out tips on phone etiquette. The truth is, I’m likely preaching to the choir. I bet you’re a pro on the phone. Thanks for taking the time to confirm you are presenting the best you over the phone.

Previously I noted the importance of a dedicated phone line and an efficient voice message. I also reminded you, “The phone is not in control.”

Now, let’s put the phone to work.

Home Based Business Phone Etiquette

Editor | MLM Training Tips | Monday, January 18th, 2010

Let’s visit about phone etiquette for the home based business owner.
There is so much to cover from how to answer the phone, leaving messages, your recorded message and basic phone etiquette. I’m going to have to break this into two segments.

Let me start by reminding you, you are an entrepreneur, a business owner and your time is valuable. Unlike the receptionist whose job is to answer the phone, your job is to manage the entire business. I’ve tried to imagine what home based business might require every call to be answered at its origin, and I can’t think of any. You may be the exception. Everyone else, read on.

Years ago, I read Mary Kay Ash’s You Can Have It All. The biggest Ah-ha I took from that book was permission to not answer the phone. I know that’s crazy, (more…)

Your Ideal Customers Are on Twitter

Editor | Social Media Networks | Friday, November 6th, 2009

When you’re an MLMer and your business is a success you may find yourself asking, “Who am I around? How much influence do I have on others? If I talk to someone, do they listen? And most importantly, can I really affect change?”

When you’re a business owner it’s important to go where the crowds go. It’s not going to work even having the best product in the world if you’re as silent about it. If you don’t already know, there are literally millions of people on Twitter. So exactly how many of those people do you need to sign up to build a massive team of distributors?

Editor | How to Brand Yourself, MLM Training Tips, Social Media Networks | Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

When you build an outstanding MLM team and an outstanding Twitter following, they’re really very similar goals. In order to build a large group of people you must find a group who actually think you are worth following. It’s also how popularity is defined on Twitter and how you define success in MLM. It’s also easy to see how popularity on Twitter can lead to success in MLM.

Because MLM recruiting is simply about reaching more of the right person, and Twitter boasts about millions of members, it’s really obvious that using their service is no longer something you can just ignore.

Your Google Profile & Google Map

Editor | How to Brand Yourself | Thursday, October 29th, 2009

This should be included in any future MLM training you share, especially when doing any online MLM training.

If I ‘Google you,’ what will I find? Google has created Google Profiles. This is a great tool to help you move up in Google’s search engine.

If you want ‘your name,’ I encourage you to take some time today and set up your profile. I’ll also encourage you to confirm the profile submitted properly. Oddly, I had to submit mine a second time. I thought it was up for weeks before I realized it wasn’t.

Check out Tami’s Google Profile

Also, are you on Google maps? If you run your business from your home, I don’t recommend publicizing your home address. Maybe your ‘office’ is the local coffee shop. Be creative.

Or, as I did, promote an organization you support. I’m a Toastmaster. Listing my local club has given me the opportunity to post a video on the map listing. I also posted a comment where I left a subtle plug for this MLM Training Report site.

Be creative and play by the rules. Google can be your friend and you definitely want it to be your friend.

Here are some tips from Google: Google Profile Tips

And you’ll love this: SEO by Google

You’re smart. Use this Google gift to share an image worthy of the business you desire.

Be Creative & Be Blessed,

Part 3: Your FREE email with GoDaddy or MergeDomains

Editor | How to Brand Yourself | Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

So many of my online entrepreneur friends own domain names. I love that! I just don’t understand why an ambitious online entrepreneur, network marketer, or online affiliate continues to promote yahoo, gmail, aol and all the other guys when he can promote himself.

Every time you share your email address, you can share your website without looking obvious. Every time you post a comment online, join a new forum, or send an email, you could be promoting YOU.com.

Most domain registrars provide one free email with each domain you purchase. How cool is that? What else have you purchased and aren’t using?
