The success of your business will always depend on the mundane things you do. This is my list:

1. Log in to my account everyday and complete all the actions required of me in the action tabs

2. Every Monday is a day for communicating with my team on the way forward and how to be successful (using The PSA/CSA/genealogy mailer)

3. Three times a week I post encouraging messages to my team ( using the Stream Tab)

4. Everyday I sharpen my knowledge by taking part in the Biz Quiz competition and revising LaunchPad lessons

5. I made a list of names with contacts on it when I started this business. Each day I contact at least five people advertising various products. It may be through e-mail or we simply do coffee to discuss the business and products further. In addition, I try to add at least three contacts on this list everyday

6. Follow up: Everyday I make a follow up on the e-mail and "Meet Me" sessions (coffee meetings) I have with prospective buyers and the gutsy people who are willing to join the business

7. ECAs: I constantly review and share ECA products to prospective buyers

8. Every week I visit suppliers of products in search for suppliers willing to build ECAs on TripleClicks

WOM or should I say Word of Mouth.

Word of Mouth is a powerful tool of attraction marketing.

For instance, typically when you want a friend to keep a secret what do you ask him/her?
The answer is "Can you keep a secret?". Well, a lot of times this has "backfired", yes? I know you are nodding with me. Why? Because your friend for whatever reason will tell someone else in his/her circle or should I say ask "Can you keep a secret?" and go ahead to spill the beans. Forgive them if it is a forgivable transgression because there is this burning urge to say something forbidden. Aye, the forbidden fruit! Anyway I digress.

Word of Mouth will help you as follows:
1. spread the gospel whether in a negative or positive light; bottom line the word gets out
2. arouses curiosity in the recipients; this means a ripe market for "harvesting"
3. knowledge is power: when recipients receive news they would also like to know more about what you are talking about. They will want you to tell them how successful you are, how viable your business, if the products you are selling/marketing are genuine etc

You can use this tool effectively to spread the gospel of your business, products and services you are selling etc. A lot of people may be reached this way because one friend will tell two and so on. Soon you will more people than you anticipated wanting to know

Magdalena,

From the experiences I have encountered, it is not so much about negativity; it is more do with the fear of the unknown. Again, a lot of people tend to think marketing and sales is very difficult. They will give you answer like "I do not relate well with strangers" or "I would not know where to start" or "I do not know the first about marketing". You get the drift.

The first thing for you to do is to assure them that everyone can make it in this business but it will depend on attitude. Then add in the guts and confidence to get what they want.

Secondly, you will probably need to cover marketing and sales methods in brainstorming sessions. Cold calling etc.


Lastly, be the best and most accurate communicater. This means studying all material available on SFI so that you have ready answers for your team. Fumbling for answers will not cut it.

Fear is an inhibitor. I say get rid of that variable first before anything else.
