How to Appear Successful with Prospects
Dec 31st
Oh my….I got lead / prospect. Now what do I do? Do I call? Do I send an email?
These are questions that I get all the time. I strongly suggest not calling your lead / prospect. This can be interpreted as a cold call and you may come across as desperate. Most of the time, the lead is browsing around for internet marketing business opportunities.
If you have branded yourself correctly on the internet, your story and pages will give them an idea of who you are. The more they see and read about you, the more you are successful in their eyes. This would include posting yourself in videos on YouTube, blogging, articles, press releases, social media sites and forums. Just to mention a few. Google your name and see what comes up in the organic listings. You should be ranking on the first page.
They will contact you if they become serious and want to know more about your business opportunity and of course, about you. When this time comes and your lead/prospect phones you, let them go to an answering machine or have your assistant (friend or family member) answer the call on your behalf. If a message is left, your assistant calls them back and sets up an appointment time for you to call them back.
Example conversation: “Hello, my name is Sally Joe, I am Bill Black’s assistance. I understand that you wish to speak with him. Let’s set up a time that works for both you and Bill. His schedule is filled tomorrow, how about the next day? Which is better for you, morning or afternoon?….. He has 2:45 or 4:30 available. This call should only take about 10-15 minutes. 2:45? Alright. Be near your phone at 2:45 as Bill will phone you at that time. He will make one other attempt a few minutes later should you not be reachable. Otherwise, he won’t be available to speak with you until next week.”
Guess what? Your lead / prospect will be at the other of the line when you call. You have come across as an extremely busy and successful leader. They may even sound nervous to speak with you.
During your conversation, listen to what they are saying. Hear their pain, relate to them in some way and give the solution to relieve their pain. Keep the call short (time yourself) as you could get caught up in lengthy life story. That’s not what this call is about.
Now is the time to tell them what to do next….”call to action”. Let them know how to sign up, join, attend a webinar or conference call, which ever is the next step in your lead / prospect becoming a member of your business team.
Congrats!! You have made a sale and are on your way to truly becoming the successful leader that your prospect sees you as.
To Your Abundance & Success!

Emotional Freedom …. Body and Mind
Oct 30th
We are all filled with wonderful and frightening emotions. These emotions can control our lives, if we let them.
Happiness or sadness, calm or anger, fear or courage, grateful or envy, forgiveness or vengeful, frustrated
or in control, passion or numbness, warmth or bitterness, proud or ashamed, confidence or shyness,triumphant
or defeated …. what other emotions come to your mind? Which ones do you let control you or do you control?
It is said that opposites attract. So, why not transform the positive and negative emotions together and create
a powerful you!
What we must do is control our emotions. Once again, we have the choice.
Right now, today, this moment, is all we have. Let’s take control. We cannot change the past or foresee the future,
but we can alter the course of our future.
Celebrate your small achievements today and give yourself a pat on the back. Did you get out of bed? Did you
brush your teeth? Did you pay $5.00 towards that credit card debt? Did you take action today on directing
your future to freedom? Baby steps…..one foot in front of the other. Take a look in the mirror in the morning
and say to yourself, “I will not let my emotions control me! I will control my emotions!” 
In other words, for us to have true emotional freedom, we must build a connection our body and mind (spiritual
and thought). Always give first and never take. By helping others, we help ourselves. We feel…..well….
great! Smile, let someone in line, open the door for someone, etc. Our positive emotions will pass onto others
and create a better world. It starts with you.
These steps also apply in internet marketing. Share, teach, forgive, do not judge, …. people follow people, not businesses.
There are four types of emotional traits.
1. Intellectual – head strong, control, spirit comes last
2. Empath - open, sincere, takes on others’ emotions (if someone’s angry, they become angry)
3. Gusher – in touch with emotions, a little too much – shares eveything
4. Rock – strong, steady, there for you … doesn’t share their own emotion
Recognize these in others and your can learn how to communicate precisely.
Remember….. Emotional Freedom brings true happiness in our body and mind, plus success!
