Formal Versus Informal Behavior? Which One When?
I met and coached a CEO recently and he confided in me that it can be lonely at the top. He is recognized throughout his organization as a wise and competent person. He is there to bounce ideas off of, is running the company, having regular management meetings and retreats and is managing the hiring and firing of the company.The big distinction that came out of the coaching when to be formal versus informal. It’s a great lesson to learn.Being folksy and informal is part of the American way. It’s down home, “Bill Clintonesque” and fun and lively. I teach charisma which shows a person how to have the ability to switch on the personality when it’s needed. This particular CEO felt a bit taken advantage of by one of his managers. They became good friends and golf buddies and slowly the friendship was mi

Part Time and Full Time Entrepreneurs
Who doesn't want to be the boss of his own company? But very few realize this dream. What is the reason behind it? Fear of failure is one of the biggest factors that don't allow a person to turn entrepreneur. After all, we all have families to support, liabilities to shoulder and one misstep could result in problems created for them. And who wants to lead one's family into trouble?But despite all this, don't you ever feel that you should start a business venture of your own without actually quitting your job. Your job provides you and your family security and safety but there is something that your heart wants and that could only be provided if you turn an entrepreneur. Job satisfaction is something that few care about but few could actually ignore its impact.So, what needs to be done? What should be

How can you find the MLM that's right for you? If you're like me, you've tried one or two and decided that it's not for you. The concept of multi-level marketing, however, really is sound. If you are a Christian, you can see that sharing the gospel is kind of like multi-level marketing: Go make disciples means go teach people how to reach other people. It's a one-on-one, face-to-face, here's what I have to offer you approach. It has worked for thousands. So why didn't it work for you? Why didn't it work for me?
There are several reasons why your last MLM attempt failed:

You don't really believe in the product
You think your product is over-priced
You're afraid other people might not be interested
You aren't motivated to get out and share
Let's look at those briefly:
You Don't Really Believe in the Product
If you don't believe in the product, you might as well quit before you start. You need to project confidence in your product to convince people. A lot of how well you do has to do, not with what you say, but with what you don't say—that is, your body language. You've got to be either a very good actor or an excellent liar to promote a product you don't believe in.
You Think the Product Is Over-Priced
Sure, MLM products are more expensive than their in-store counterparts. But keep in mind that up to half of the sale price is returned to those in the business in the form of commissions and bonuses. Also keep in mind that people are willing to pay more for a better product. If that wasn't the case, Wal-Mart would always sell their Great Value version of Cherrios and no one would buy the name brand that's right along side it.
You're Afraid Other People Might Not Be Interested
When I found out who in my church was interested in a certain product produced by an MLM company, I was surprised at how many there were. You never know until you try. Try to focus on people that might actually be interested in your product (don't try to sell kids multi-vitamins to single bachelors, for example). And don't take rejection personally. If they are your friends, offer it in a take-it-or-leave-it fashion; make sure they know that you're still friends if they say no.
You Aren't Motivated to Get Out and Share
This means one of two things. Either you have the wrong product (aren't excited enough about it) or you shouldn't be in MLM. Take a good look at yourself. What do you get excited about? What makes you enthusiastic? Then find a company offering products in that area.

Growing Pains - Signs For Change
If you've ever bought shoes for a teenager, then you know first-hand about the pains associated with fast growth. Just when one pair seems barely broken in, it's time for a bigger size! Similar to a parent who can't ignore the urgency of meeting the changing needs of a constantly growing child, the leader of a business in transition also needs to put top priority on addressing the "growing pains" - signs that the organization's talent, structure and systems have become outgrown.Every organization goes through phases of development. As your business expands, it will start to feel uncomfortable in its own skin. Customers will continue to expect the next best thing, and in order to anticipate and meet their evolving needs, the organization must be resilient enough, as well as willing and able to transform itse

New England and Economic Recovery
New England area is experiencing some good economic rebounding finally. Those markets, which involve larger consumer items are finding life a little tough, smaller manufacturers are waiting for orders and everyone is waiting on cash flow in the New England rural areas and cities under 150,000 which is nearly every city in NH, VT and ME and that 85% of the cities (calling a city that which is over 10K pop.) in CT, RI and MA. In some NH cities those involved in custom manufacturing are talking in terms of a “Train Wreck” when discussing the economic calamity. They were being promised by the Democrats who wanted a good showing in the NH primaries complete economic recovery, not sure how that was going to happen. Why is politics so important to these issues? Well because the rhetoric and bullshit has a lot to do with

Free Radio Publicity for Marketing-Minded Financial Planners
Radio is a powerful publicity tool. Most stations offer news and talk programming. Those shows are put together not necessarily by the voice you hear on air, but by people called producers.Getting to know producers, and giving them reasons to showcase you on air, is a very doable for most people in most towns. How? The same way you'd contact a print reporter, which I discuss in my other articles for financial planners.Getting on the radio is possible in huge markets like New York and L.A. too, but it’s not for the weak or the timid.Radio stations love to team with community resources – like you – on promotional activities. Call your station’s promotion department and tell them you’d like to explore ideas. Need an idea or two? Don’t worry – tell the promotion folks what you do, and they’ll prob

Let's discuss these areas:
The Products—would you use them regularly?
Most MLM companies have a product that they promote at the outset, but then they have a host of other products that you can get. Are any of their products something you would use regularly? If not, then it's probably not the MLM for you. Users make the best dealers. That's why Paul Harvey's commercials are so effective.
The Minimum Qualifying Order
What is the minimum qualifying order amount? Can you see yourself spending that every month until you get your order paid for? What will it take to get your order paid for? Is it feasible for you? How about for your friend? This is something you should know and understand before you get started.
Will Their Business Model Work for You?
I don't care if there are a million people making thousands each month in this business. If I can't make it work for me, it's not for me. A few years ago I was introduced to an MLM that focused on health products. I tried twice to get people under me, but it was just too hard and I gave up twice. Find out how many people you have to tell to get your product paid for. And figure that you're going to have to get that many people all by yourself. It's going to be hard to train those people until you can show results.
Also, do you get any kind of commission before your product is paid for? Suppose you have to spend $100 every month, and it takes five people to get your product paid for. If you get two people, do you get $20 each, or do you only get something like 2% or 3% of the payout (the portion of the purchase price that is paid out in commissions) until you get all five people? Do they have to be personally enrolled or can your upline put them in for you? If you are in the business to make money, study the business model carefully and ask your potential upline all the questions you need to before making a decision—and don't let anyone pressure you into a decision you might regret later. You want it to be your decision, not someone else's.
Are They a Member of the BBB?
This might seem obvious, but it's worth checking out. Just go to www.bbb.com and search for their name. Even if they aren't a member, you can usually check on the BBB's opinion of them anyway. It will help you feel better about it, at the very least.
