There's A Better Way...

I Found this interesting article and wanted to share it with you all.

"There is a BETTER way to build your network marketing business than you are probably being taught!

In all honesty, most people are still being taught to build their businesses using old, outdated, and not very effective methods and techniques that actually HURT the distributor more than help them.

In fact, many of these ways people are teaching their downlines to build their businesses go totally against good business practices, and actually repel the very prospects they are trying to attract.

It's funny because network marketing itself touts such big incomes, lifestyles, and business ownership principles - but why is it that most network marketers do not ever achieve those things? Why does the network marketing industry practice some of the most unprofessional business building methods known to man, and still think that it is a 'business'?

In fact (in my opinion), most network marketing distributors are not taught true business principles or marketing principles, and are expected to build their businesses on hope and chance - rather that a solid business plan that is measurable and based on smart, professional business methods.

Here's where we as an industry need to stand up and educate each other properly and quit leading hard working people astray:

I mean look at the person you are following in network marketing. Do they even have an internet presence? Have they even made money in this business themselves? Do they actually know how to MARKET, or are they teaching you to just PROSPECT and annoy others using the company 'system'?" - Scott Rogers


Here's the good news. I'm a huge believer in using good marketing techniques to build your Zrii business. I won't feed you with the re-hashed, "outdated" techniques that are so prevalent in this industry.

I get 30-40 prospects a day just through the internet and I want YOU to learn to do the same. An effective marketing system is critical if you want to learn to market your business properly- that is why my brother and I are working day and night to give you the very best marketing system.

Zfreedom marketing system will have everything you need in order to succeed. It is NOT a magic bullet but if you apply what I teach, you will do very well.

The beauty of an effective marketing system is that you can set up advertisements both online and offline and let the system do the "hard selling". You only need to spend your time with "pre-qualified" prospects- saving you time... and time is money!

Zfreedom will be complete with all the training you'll ever need to know about internet marketing and how to talk to prospects.

For those who are newer to the internet and feel overwhelmed... don't worry... the Zfreedom marketing system is made for the beginner and the advanced. It is designed to simply leverage your recruiting efforts. If you don't have time to learn internet marketing, you will be able to buy REAL time, high quality leads. A steady flow of good quality prospects is the life-blood of any business!

"People are NOT duplicable, but marketing system are"

The Zfreedom marketing system is coming within the next few weeks. But don't wait to market your business! At least utilize your sample bottles and get the message of Zrii out to your target market! Build, build, build!

I got my 5 this month (actually, more like 10), did you?

What To Do With Extra Product...

Many of you might have some extra product sitting around. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In my opinion, having extra product is great because you have inventory to set up marketing campaigns around. If you didn't have the extra product the chances are you wouldn't buy more... and thus, you wouldn't have any for marketing with. So think of it as a blessing.

Now, most people think having extra Zrii is almost a burden because they envision themselves having to hand out 20 mini bottles a day to get rid of it. If that is what you think then I don't blame you if you're a little discouraged.

Did you know that your extra product is like sitting on a gold mine? Instead of handing out one bottle at a time- think LEVERAGE! You have the ability to set up marketing campaigns in your community whereby you advertise FREE samples of Zrii.

Everybody wants something for FREE! Why go to them, when they will come to you?

So how do you go about setting up a marketing campaign that entices people to call you? Well, if you brainstorm a little I'm sure you can think of dozens of different ways you can get the message out to people to try out Zrii for FREE!

To be more specific think about where your target market is (read blog post on target market). Then set up joint ventures with that health store, yoga center, chiropractic clinic, etc. Sign up the owner and use some space in their store or center to advertise Zrii. Make the display really nice with some brochures, DVD's, business cards and advertise that they can get a FREE bottle of Zrii to try. Tell the owner of the store that you will build their business for them. Who wouldn't want an extra stream of income and not really have to do anything other than letting you leverage their customer base?

Joint Ventures are one of the best ways to leverage your advertising efforts. The idea is that you are using someone else's business and client base to advertise your opportunity or product to. As long as the business owner benefits from the joint venture then they will have an interest to let you advertise. You could spend your time trying to recruit Uncle Bob or go and leverage yourself by setting up a joint venture.

Or what about mailing out a few thousand flyers (one page colorful ad) to your community that advertises Zrii- focusing on its health benefits and how they can get their FREE sample. Make the flyer simple and easy to read (benefit orientated) and highlight the FREE sample with no strings attached (this is important because you don't want people thinking they have to buy something). The idea is to get them to call you and ask for their free sample. The more health benefits you focus on... the more likely they will want to try the product. You can even focus on how Zrii tastes great and it is very beneficial for kids.

The point is that if you just take the time to brainstorm- you'll see that there are multiple ways of getting your product out into people's hands without having to hand out one bottle at a time. Think leverage.

People love FREE gifts. Use your extra product to build your business by giving people a FREE gift. You take the first step towards them by giving them something of value for FREE and you'll be amazed at how easy it is to follow up with them.

Hopefully you have a NEW perspective on extra product and how it can actually be used in a way that gives you HUGE leverage.

I love marketing!

Goals Vrs. Dreams

The other week my brother and I were discussing the difference between goals and dreams on a conference call. You hear a lot of people talk about goals, but so many forget the power of dreaming!

I had a fellow Zrii I.E. write me and gave me one of the most clear explanations of the difference between setting goals and dreaming. Here are her words:

"Also, I loved your closing on dreams vs. goals. During my quiet time this
morning I was visualizing my goals - a big one is making the 6 Star
incentive. I was visualizing 50000 Group Volume. Then I realized that was
the wrong visual. The visual was sitting around poolside in Cancun with
Bill Farley. And with the two of you and Jason, and my sponsor, and Clint
and Tracy and Ryan and all the rest! I could see all of you, feel the
sunshine, hear the waves, and taste the Pina Coladas!

So when you were comparing dreams and goals I thought that is what I need to
distinguish. The goal of 50000 GV is very important. But the dream of
walking the beaches of Cancun with Bill and the team is so much more
emotional, so much more inspiring and motivating! That is what will get me
on the phone each day!

Thanks again for all you guys do!!!"

Zriiyaa!

Never stop dreaming!

When People Think Zrii... What Comes To Their Minds?

Zrii can do so many wonderful things for you. I've heard of people that are getting better sleep, less migraines, less pain, more energy, better digestion, better circulation- all from drinking Zrii.

But, what makes Zrii different than the rest? What is their unique selling proposition?

If you haven't heard of a unique selling proposition (USP) then listen to what Jay Abraham has to say about it. Jay Abraham is considered the greatest marketer today and gets paid over $5000/hour for consulting fees.

" Even while you creatively imitate others, remember that it's also important to be different. Distinguish your business or practice from all the rest. Make your enterprise special in the eyes of your customer or client. That is the goal I want you to pursue.

How do you get your business differentiated? By creating a Unique Selling Proposition - or USP.

A USP is that distinct and appealing idea that sets you and your business, or practice, favorably apart from every other generic competitor. The long-term marketing and operational successes I help you achieve will, ultimately, be helped or hurt by the USP you decide upon."


So what is Zrii's USP? Without it, your marketing efforts will be way less effective.

My brother and I have come up with a slogan USP that we feel fits Zrii very well. It appeals to a very broad market and targets people's emotions. Plus, it is all-encompassing.

Here it is: Zrii- The Juice That Restores Your Youth

Use it whenever and however you like. It will make people remember Zrii. It will bring them back to Zrii. And it will give you an easy way to remember the GREATEST benefit of Zrii- rejuvenation!

Hope this helps :)

You might be surprised to know that the first time I met Bill Farley he said to me that one of his secrets to success was that he read "Think and Grow Rich" over 40 times!

Today, not only do you get to watch a video clip of the classic Napoleon Hill but I am going to show you where you can download his book, "Think and Grow Rich" for FREE!

A Simple Way To Build Your Zrii Business

Thanks To MJ for this!

The DVD/Sample Handout

Preparation:

Have on hand the following:

1. Zrii 6 minute DVDs (or regular DVDs)
2. Mini bottles
3. Applications with your ID# filled in

Execution:

Step 1 - finding a need

Open a conversation about Zrii, either from a call or noticing a need for health, wealth or community during a conversation.

Step 2 - offering the gift

Say to your prospect something like (use your words and practice them many times before you start)," You know, I think I may have something you might be interested in. I'd like to give you this DVD to watch, and when you return it, I have a gift for you."

VERY important - make a date to get the DVD back! The fortune is in the follow up. People will be more willing to do this because they want their gift.

Step 3 - following up and giving the gift

1. Be sure to have a pre-printed application handy. Ask your prospect,"What did you like about what you saw?" Listen carefully to what they say. Use active listening to make sure you understand what they've said - and also so THEY know you understand what they've said.This is a very important step to building rapport and trust.

*If you're not sure exactly what active listening is, be sure to do a Google search. There are 1,060,000 listings that will make you a pro.

2. Next, ask, "Who in your life do you think could benefit from hearing this information?" Use the words they've shared with you when you asked them what they liked about the DVD.

3. As they give you the names, say,"You know, by doing what I just did to those contacts (sharing the DVD), you can pay for your entire month's supply of Zrii and even get some extra cash. Could you do what I just did?"

4. Next, say, "Thank you for taking the time to watch this. I'm glad you enjoyed the information and found it helpful. As promised, here is your gift." Give them the mini bottle.

5. Have them try the mini bottle. Ask, "Given the benefits you saw in the DVD, can you see yourself taking Zrii every day?"

6. When they say "yes", say "Great. We'll get you started right away. I just need a little information from you. Fill out the application form.

7. Welcome them aboard an teach them to do what you just did.


You should be doing this on a regular basis on top of all your other marketing and advertising. Remember to keep your target market in mind... you will get a better response. The idea is to hand out at least one DVD and sample bottle a day!

Building your business is not magic. It is consistent and persistent every day efforts of getting your message out to your target market. The more people that you share the story of Zrii with- the greater your results!

Would You Buy A $10,000 Hot Dog?

I was over at a friend's place last night and we starting watching the show, The Apprentice. I'm not a big fan of that T.V. show but for some reason last night's episode caught my attention.

The project given to the two teams was to sell hot dogs in New York city and whichever team got the most money- won! They could sell the hot dog for whatever price they wanted.

The team that won raked in over $50,000 just by selling hot dogs in a few short hours! One hot dog sold for $10,000.

So how did they do it?

They used the power of celebrity endorsement. They got a bunch of celebrities to come to the hot dog stand and started using them to gain attraction and get people to pay the big bucks.

What's the message of today's story?

If someone can use the power of celebrity endorsement to sell a $10,000 hot dog then you should see the power that is at your finger tips with Zrii!

I'm often amazed that some people do not understand the magnitude of having the Chopra name attached to Zrii. This alone will make Zrii a billion dollar brand and it will make your life so much easier when marketing Zrii.

That is why it is critical to use the Chopra Center endorsement as your focal point when marketing your business. It attracts attention and lends credibility. People will literally buy Zrii just because of the Chopra name.

Remember, marketing is NOT about how great the product is. There are many great products but McDonald's did not become the biggest hamburger franchise because they sold the best burger.

Marketing is about drawing attention. It is about credibility. It is about believability. It is about branding. And it just so happens that a celebrity endorsement meets all those needs.

Don't get me wrong- Zrii is an excellent product and will change many lives. We are getting and will continue to get amazing testimonials from people taking Zrii. Without a superb product the network marketing model falls apart.

The point is- don't get caught up in the "endless go-around" of trying to tell people that Zrii is the greatest juice on earth. They just won't believe YOU.

But, they will believe the Chopra Center. That will grab their attention. That will give you and your business HUGE credibility. So focus on that!

Never before in the history of network marketing has there ever been an endorsement as great as the Chopra Center. That is what makes us so unique. Obviously, that is why people will KNOW that it is a great product- they trust the Chopra Center.

Nike understands the power of an endorsement (Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods)...

Do you?

Is Marketing Your Business Really That Important?

I hope everyone is having a great new year thus far!

In case you don't know, you can treat this blog as a personal interaction with me. At the end of each post is a place to leave a comment (encouragement, thoughts, helpful information, questions, etc). Someone left a comment for the last post I made which I have to share with you all (Thanks Michael!)

Aloha Dave....

Excellent advice! Yes, contacting
networkers are # priority and it is
how I've built major mlm businesses
over the past 24 years...

Here are some quotes on marketing
that you'll love... Enjoy, Michael

80% OF SUCCESS IS MARKETING....

"In any economy, Networking Marketing is a great way to get
into business. If there is one downside to Network Marketing, it's
that distributors don't always understand that they are marketers!
No product or service ever sells itself:

"The product is 20% of the business, the other 80% is marketing!"

--- Charles Givens, Financial Expert, Best selling author
________________________________________________

ANOTHER WAKE-UP CALL FROM A MASTER MARKETER:

"Misconception #1: Having the best product or service guarantees
success.....THIS SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE! Some of the best products
ever made failed in the marketplace. Get it out of your head that you can succeed just because you have the best product or service...

"Times have changed. Old strategies don't work. Businesses today
have no other advantage than Marketing. Because of the speed of
information and growth of technological advancement, No One Product Is Much Better Than Anyone Else. Advertising and overhead cost
the same.. Only With Marketing Can You Outperform The Competition".
