How Regular Follow Up Can Increase Your Sales & Repeat Business

When I first began marketing online, I had already heard the phrase, “The fortune is in the follow-up”, a billion times as a Network Marketer. I can admit, following up used to be a struggle for me, even in my direct sales business because I always felt like following up, meant I would be seen as a nuisance.

Since those early days, I’ve learned (the hard way), the value in staying in touch with prospects on a regular basis. I also realized that when my way of thinking changed toward the idea of reconnecting, my income began to grow.

The changing point for me came when a customer I finally called after months…boldly asked me, “why did it take so long for you to call me?” I had no answer other than I had been making excuses.

3 Ways to Claim Your Freedom This Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!

Statue of LibertyOver this weekend, I’ve been really reflecting on what this holiday truly means and how it relates to us, entrepreneurs and small business owners. The same way our country declared independence on this day in 1776…we too, can claim our freedom as independent professionals!

Your Online Network Marketing Strategy SUCKS!

Let me first start off by saying, my intentions are never to offend anyone even though I realize what I’m about to share may indirectly strike a nerve with some of you, because I’m calling it as I see it. Try not to get defensive, I’m simply expressing my opinion (which I’m entitled too) and I will not apologize for it. Hopefully, you will take what I share, and reevaluate your online network marketing strategy…quickly!

The reason I can be this blunt is because I know what I’m talking about. I have been a network marketer for nearly 10 years and in the first 2-3 of those years, my online network marketing SUCKED! YES, I can admit it…because since then, I have learned a lot and my success has turned around completely.

How to Get Rich Quick…Really?

Cash MoneyYou’ve seen them. The ‘Get Rich Quick’ Ads promising overnight riches with little to no work involved. They sound so enticing, so promising, especially to the people who are desperately seeking a work from home opportunity.

But is it really that easy?

It’s like the old saying goes…if it sounds to good to be true then most likely it is. I mean think about it, if it were really that easy to make thousands of dollars in 7 days, don’t you think everyone would be doing it?

The fact of the matter is, so many people desire to have a very successful and financially sound home based business and believe the hype. Unfortunately, that’s all it is – hype.

Can you believe it? I did it again…

I almost can’t believe it either but what can I say, it’s just the kind of girl I am! I’m feeling so excited and giddy…like a kid on Christmas morning. I always trust my instincts 100%, not only in my personal life but even when it comes to business. That’s why I know I made the right decision.

Some may think I’m a serial entrepreneur but I just believe if an opportunity presents itself, the least I can do is be open-minded and willing to learn more…

So, that’s just what I did and have created an additional stream of income for me and my family!
