Quiet on the set!!! Ready, set, action! One single perfect take is what a producer really hopes for but why? Because it saves the producer time and money. The big advantage a producer has that you don’t have in your business is the actors, including the extras aren’t going to leave because they get paid to be there and finish their role in the upcoming attraction or commercial. So here’s what I know to be right and I’ve seen this happen for years both the right way and the wrong way, you must learn to be a good producer/actor. What do you mean Madiba? What I mean is your business is a daily ongoing movie and you are constantly scouting for new up and coming talent. Both the producer and actor must sell each other on why they would like one to be in this specific production. The problem, the bad producer is talking to much they are telling more then they need to, where as the good producer says just enough and then gives the actor a script to follow. Cool thing about the script is the actor gets to add their personality and their personal flare to it.

When auditioning for a part
Follow a script because that is something everyone who is auditioning for their part in the movie is doing, you will have some that do better than others at reading the script which will allow some to get star parts and others to get co-star and parts as an extra. The GREAT PART is that as people go through their acting career they have the opportunity to get coaching and become better at their craft which can eventually put them in a lead role. It’s the same with your business you will determine how great you become and how fast you become a person who takes that lead role, so definitely keep on getting mentoring and coaching, never think you are to good.

Quiet on the set/business etiquette
This is a very critical part that I notice a lot of people miss out on big time and ruin adding new actors to their life business movie.  When you are having people sit down at a challenge party or at your business overview at your home or where ever it is held then you must be quiet once the presentation comes on, unless the video or speaker is asking an interactive question like “raise your hand if…”

You are the leader and if you start talking everyone else that’s not a pro at your event thinks it’s okay to talk and if you start walking around to do something, then that just takes emphasis away from the importance of what you are having them watch.   Lastly if you have a leader over at your event just be quiet and let that leader be the producer for the day, they are in the position they are in through activity not theory.  Let them help you make money, if you talk over them or talk period instead of letting them answer question you are only hurting your business and not leading by example.  So in turn what will happen when you go to your team members event where you are the proven leader, they will remember you talking when you had another proven leader in the building.  When a leader is in your event DON’T SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO (Sorry for the all caps but just trying to get my money making point for you across) QUIET ON THE SET…READY, SET, ACTION!  These are all critical parts to a movie and more important a VERY CRITICAL part to your movie that you are acting in don’t deviate and you will get paid.

Please take heed
When leaders are pouring out to you like this blog post it is not based on theory at least not the leaders I run with.  We give value advice based on action we’ve taking that produces proven results.  The current business that you are in can produce a lifetime of wealth if you take it serious.  The reason that certain stars get paid the big bucks is because they take their craft serious and they constantly are working to improve it.  The same thing is the case here in your business you will notice the ones making the big bucks have a certain characteristic to them and they keep working on their craft to get better.  The great part about your movie business is you are the producer/actor and you can’t be fired, the bad part is you can’t be fired.  So that being the case you must be willing to follow the leader, find someone who is in the position that you want to be in this will make your entrepreneurship journey easier.

In closing Lights are on, Camera is rolling, the only thing missing is your proper Action, so are you ready?  I know you are or you wouldn’t be reading this so on that note I’m out so we can get busy.

The problem that most people have when they want to work from home and have success is… Are you ready for this?  Drum roll please… Continue Reading

There is a simple process to generating consistent enrollments in any business you are involved with, the key is have an S on your chest.  LOL JUST KIDDING I have been blessed to be a top enroller in the industry.   The reason this has happened is through consistent training and more importantly an hour in the field beats one thousand hours in the classroom, but great coaching is definitely the key to my success. (Be A Doer Not Just A Hearer)

The importance and how I recruit high numbers monthly is consistency and persistence however that is not all but that is critical when doing the correct steps in what I’m going to breakdown here for you.

This is much easier then most think and as you do it more, like anything you will get better.

1. Talk to people that request information about working from home either through purchasing leads, driving traffic specifically to you or whatever way you want bottom line is you talk to people.  All I do is direct those people to a simple message either a sizzle call, web presentation, live webinar, dvd etc…
2. I then set an appointment for follow up (VERY IMPORTANT TIP) you are a professional business developer and are busy, people will respect that and your time is very valuable so treat your time as it is valuable.
3. When I follow up I ask some very simple questions finding out what they liked about what they saw or heard, if the business is for them great if not that is fine too.
4. The next step when you find out that the people are wanting to join you in your business venture you must say “Welcome aboard, how do you want your name spelled on your checks” assume the close assume they are ready to get started.  Most people fall off here and don’t ask the closing questions.  Here’s a great cliche’ my mom use to say, “a closed mouth doesn’t get fed.”

But it boils down to this when you know why people want to work from home you have a solution with your business I didn’t say the solution but you have a solution.

Treat your business like a business and not a hobby and it will reward you like a business.

1. Why does it seem like I make a connection but can’t enroll people in my business?

2. How do I get people to show up on the follow up call?

3. What can I do to get people to stop asking me questions like what is this? How much does it cost?

I remember when I first started in this industry my back ground was in car sales, we were always taught to show the FAB which stands for Feature, Advantage and Benefit.

NOT, WRONG ANSWER.  That’s like leading a horse to water and saying drink it as you shove the poor animals head in the water when they aren’t thirsty, also known as throwing up on prospects.
