Get off the computer, stop the automation scripts and un personalised auto-responders.

Get on the phone, I cannot stress the importance enough of contacting your prospects.

They have responded to your advertising, they contacted you first; they need help and have a need that needs filling.
Their not asking you to send them information about your product or service they are asking for help!

I am not going to venture in to it now, because that is for tomorrow, but by sending the prospect information you are putting them on a logical emotion, this is a very cold calculating place.

This is not where you want your prospect to be. Emotion sells, people purchase based on emotions far easier than any other psychological trigger. 'Tomorrow psychological triggers'
Giving somebody unselfish educational help or asking for help, is subjective, has feeling and warmth associated with it. People make discissions based on feelings and emotions.

So don't think of calling your prospect as a cold call, it is not it is boiling over, when you start to understand that people are only searching for solutions to problems, it becomes all so much easier.

Now get on the phone and help someone.

How many times do I say this stop selling!

Everything you have read and been told tells you to build your business sell as much retail as possible make that money, it is the only way you will make it.
Wrong
That is pretty much a formula to fail, why! It is selfish and self-serving attitude that flows through you and all your copy, it puts people off.

Our whole focus is not to sell, but to solution, 'to help people with their problems'. When you remove money from being your goal, it will come naturally, offer help understanding and commitment to their problems. Have a conversation with them not a sales call!

Changing your approach and thinking, many years ago I put a smiley face on our reception phone big yellow smiley face, anyone who picked up the phone saw it, before answering the phone this put a smile on every persons face that used the phone. Happiness conveys down a phone line.

Do not start your day with the thinking I have to call as many prospects today as I can and sign them to my business. Think of it as I am going to call as many people as possible today and see how many of them have problems, I can help to solve.
Now you are in a much better psychological state, not selling that is much better can you feel it?

Why does this work? People know what they want; they may not know how to get it. People will tell you what they want, they will tell you why they want it, and they will tell you why they do not have it yet.
They will tell you how they feel about their life and where they would like it to go.

All you have to do is stop selling, be quiet and listen, look for body language, look between the lines not at just what they are saying.

When you let, people talk about their situation, their barriers start to come down, and then the emotion will start.
They will feel their own uncomfortableness; with their situation, they want help.

Put away your needs, it is not about you it is about them; once you start listening to your clients, they will start to listen to you. No one wants to be told what to do, do you?

In my early sales carrier I worked for a family friend, this is where I learnt more about marketing then anywhere else for many years.

This is what I called my apprenticeship, anyway this friend sold products the product I became best friends with was 'Exit Rust' a rust converter product for painting over steel before topcoat.

The company was trying to get into the lucrative paint distributor market, many had tried before me, and failed, this is the reason I was given the chance in the first place. Off I went to the companies and came back the first day with orders for 300 cases of 24 bottles.

You see every rep before me had walking in the door and gone straight for the hard sell of this fantastic new product you just have to carry. Most companies are hounded by so many sales reps it is just not funny.

I went to the customer service desk introduced my self not the company I was working for, asked if I could talk to someone in purchasing. Why was the first question, because I have a solution to allot of your customers problems? I was allowed to see the purchasing rep
Once I was in it was easy, you must get many customers buying metal primer yes? I asked. Yes he said, but why are you here you said you had solutions to my customer problems, what problems he said. Rust problems I said would it be good if people could just paint this solution on and they can paint right over the top it and the rust is gone.

What I am getting at here is that old ways teach you to expect and welcome rejections, how many times have you been told every 'no' is one step closer to a 'yes' don't take rejections personally let it be water off a ducks back.

Sorry but rubbish take rejections to heart let them eat away at you, because they are rejecting you, your ways and your manner, you have just insulted your prospect.

When you understand that taking away the pressure of selling, you let the natural cause of their problems come through.
So are you telling me that everyone is going to say yes with your system?

Everyone one will respect you as a person and will not say no to you, they will feel you had their best interests at heart and a genuine feeling of wanting to help. 'With this approach you hardly ever burn a bridge'

Not everyone is ready for change, not everyone is ready for your business, and not everyone has the motivation or want for change.
Let peoples own desire to change and their problems come through, change the way you think, approach people how you like to be treated. Nearly everyone is open to the idea of earning more money.

You are showing people your business all wrong, I bet nearly every one of you get your white board out, or lap top and get into your presentation. You are up there selling those benefits and how we are going to change your life.

How do you know this person wants to change their life, how can you know anything of what this person wants. Since you walked in the door, you have not shut up.

Get to know you prospect find out what is important to them, what are they looking for, once you have educated yourself, then you can do the presentation.

Now you have an idea what the prospect is looking for, you can tailor your presentation to be relevant to your client.
Get off the computer, stop the automation scripts and un personalised auto-responders.

Get on the phone, I cannot stress the importance enough of contacting your prospects. They have responded to your advertising, they contacted you first; they need help and have a need that needs filling.

What are you doing? Do you like all the automated customer service systems 'press 302 for frustration'
People are human not robots do you like being treated like one?
If you do not know what your client is looking for how do you know what information to display to them?

Personalisation works.

Again, I refer to quality versus quantity, you have been taught to call and close, again this does not work effectively anymore, and it never really did.

If you let people talk, they will sell themselves and close themselves, people want a better life, and people want an easier life. Once you learn to start offering tools instead of telling people what they need your business no matter what industry it is in will boom.

One only need to read news headlines and statistics to know that crime, including burglaries, rapes, and murders, continues to increase. How does one protect their family and home from thefts, damage, and quite possibly death? Research indicates that homes and businesses having a home security system are three times less likely to be burglarized because intruders don't want to be caught. Home Security System monitored by ADT, providing coverage for more than 5 million homes, is the most respected name in the business with more than 130 years experience.

ADT Security Systems provides more than just protection against burglaries. State of the art technology has allowed them to expand their services to include burglaries and break-ins, medical emergencies, fires, floods, carbon monoxide detection, and GPS tracking and emergency monitoring for automobiles. 24-hour continuous monitoring is like having a professional security person in your home or auto round the clock. Specialized equipment is installed in the home by a knowledgeable team of professional experts who will address any questions to satisfaction and offer suggestions on additional security needs. Equipment includes a master control panel, a key chain remote, 3 door/window sensors, a motion detector, a built-in siren, and yard and window signs for prominent display. When the system is activated by an intruder, sensitive wireless sensors emit signals that are immediately transmitted to one of five Command Monitoring systems that are strategically located across the nation to provide person-to-person communications. Upon satisfactory verification by the Command Center, contacts are then made to the appropriate agencies for whatever assistance is required - police, fire, or medical personnel. A simple touch of the keypad will summon assistance for in-home medical emergencies and fire without arming the system. Sensors are capable of detecting intruders before they step on the property and can distinguish between animal and human body heat. These are installed around the periphery of the home as well as in high-traffic areas inside the home to provide total coverage. ADT is supported by multi-tiered disaster preparedness procedures to assure optimal levels operations even in the worst of conditions. Their professionals enjoy uninterrupted support and services from powerful computers and secure communications links to assure customer reliance in emergency situations -hurricanes, floods, blackouts, tornados, power failures, power outages, and computer crashes. Those you love and the things you love are continuously protected with ADT to provide peace of mind.

There are many things one can do to protect the home, but a home security system by ADT is the best investment to protect all your investments at affordable prices. Begin right now.

Before, giants in the consumer electronics industry were reaping in most of the huge numbers while retailers were going home suffering from low sales. However, it seems like the tables have already been turned. This time around, retailers are seemingly taking home huge sales while the giants seemed to be suffering from low turnouts.

It seems like the whole consumer electronics industry would be experiencing a shakeout soon enough. Experts in the field have been saying that perhaps this phenomenon would all be because the giant manufacturers of consumer electronics became too lax in their strategies in the market. All the while, the retailers expanded their ranges and headed out towards creating quite a number of chains. Experts also found out that the Internet that has once helped out the consumer electronics giants like Sony, Philips, and Samsung is now a strong ally for retailers.

Aside from this, it also seems like many consumer electronics products in the market have been produced by the Chinese. And with labor being inexpensive in that country, it would not be surprising to find lots of new Chinese consumer electronics products like phones in the market soon. However, as per the quality and the performance of these Chinese products, experts have yet to find out. Some experts even say that it is still too soon to tell.

Ray Croc, the founder of the most successful and most recognized restaurant chain in the world, once coined the fraise, "Keep It Simple Stupid" or K.I.S.S. for short. He recognized very early on that simple is good that simple is the most productive way to run a business. This simple concept is what has driven the McDonalds franchise into the monster it is today.

If you are looking to be successful in a home based business of your own then why not stick with a concept that works, simplicity? How can we find such a business opportunity? E-A-S-Y! Affiliate Programs!

Ask yourself this, what home based business do I know of where I don't need to concern myself with inventory, storage, packing, shipping, complaints, returns, phone calls, emails, checks and credit cards, etc.? When your only concern running your home based business is generating traffic to your affiliate links, your life is immensely less complicated and less stressed then it would be running your home based business in the traditional sense!

Generating traffic to your affiliate links is accomplished the same way as you would generate traffic to any internet business. You will want to have your own website. Yahoo makes it very simple to set up your own website using their free SiteBuilder application and they will host your site as well for extremely reasonable prices. Your website dose not have to be fancy. It's only job is to display your affiliate links. Once people click on your affiliate links, then they will be taken to a fancy website. At the top of your website put a brief description about what your site is about. With each of your affiliate programs put a brief description of what is being offered along with your affiliate link at the end. Do not divulge too much information about your affiliate product or service because then people will "think" they know what it's all about and loose interest. Just enough of a description to stimulate their curiosity is enough. Let your affiliate website do all the selling!

Make sure to put Cost-Per-Click(CPC) advertising on your website such as Google AdSense. Google makes it very simple to put their AdSense on your website and it's free! The ads displayed will be relevant to the content of your website and you will be paid a commission every time someone clicks on one of the ads. Doing business online is a numbers game. Most people who will go to your website will not buy from you, they will look around and leave. Think about it, if someone is going to leave your website, with or without buying, wouldn't you rather they left through a link that will pay you every time someone clicks on it? A very substantial part of your income will come from Cost-Per-Click advertising.

Once your website is up and running there are a number of ways to drive traffic to it. Here are two of the best. They are also free!

Start your own Blog. This is a great way to drive free traffic to your website! Google will even give you your own Blog site for free at Blogger.com and it's simple to set up. Having your own Blog and making daily posts will with time establish you as an authority figure in peoples minds on whatever topic your Blog is about. With time people will come to trust and believe in you, and people will buy much more readily from people they know and trust. As peoples confidence in you grow some of them will want to see what you have to offer them by checking out your website.

Writing articles and submitting them to article submission sites is a great way to drive
lots of free traffic to your website. Just remember to put your bio along with a link to your website at the bottom of each article you submit. The search engines will spider your articles word for word, and when people search online for information using keywords or phrases that are in your articles, they will turn up on the search results along with a link to your website so be sure to include highly searched for keywords and phrases!

Having your own home based business dose not have to be complicated. Affiliate programs offer the simplest home based business opportunities available because they work with you by taking all of the difficulties that come with owning a business off your hands!
