Well a couple of posts ago I told you about our friend Tom “Big Al” Schreiter and how he came out to speak at an event for us.  Well I told you I was going to share more of his “Magic Sequence of Words” that he shared with us. So here are a couple more that he gave us that seem to work really well.

There are two types of people in the world…  Those that get repeat customers and those that lose them to their competitors down the street.

Or if you are in my business……

There are two types of moms in the world… Those that love staying home with their kids and make only a few calls a day while their children are taking a nap and those that have to send their kids to daycare so that they can go to work and be away for 8-10 hrs a day.

You can structure this to what ever industry you are.  Just fill in the blanks.

There are two types of ______ in the world.  Those that ___________ and those that ___________.  Pretty easy right!

Here’s one more!

I just found out __________________.  You fill in the blank.  Here is one that I have used and that gets tons of curiosity.

I just found out how you can make more money part-time than your husband does full-time.  Or…I just found out how you can work part-time from home and get an extra paycheck every week.

I would love to hear your magic sequence of words that work for you!

Have a great weekend!

He also travels around the world year round and may be out in your area. Here is a link to his workshop schedule http://www.fortunenow.com/public/department33.cfm He is an awesome speaker. I know you will enjoy him!

Nothing happens magically overnight.  It takes time and effort.  I have been watching these video’s on Eric’s site for a few months now. My husband Carlos and I start off our morning by watching at least one video from his site everyday. My favorite so far is the video’s he did with Earl Shaw. If you don’t know who Earl Shaw is then you have to watch to find out. Right now there are 3 of 4 videos were Earl Shaw tells his story.  How he was “living the perfect life”, cars, a mansion and how it all got taken away.

Just go to http://networkmarketingpro.com Start treating your business like it is worth a million dollars! (The words of Earl Shaw)

Wishing you much success!

Hello! Well today I am going to talk about appreciation marketing for your home business. Not sure what I mean? Well if you have a home business or any kind of business you must have customers. And my question to you is do those customer keep coming back for more or refer anyone to you or your product?

If the answer is no then you must have not said “thank you”. Now I know you say thank you when they just bought whatever product you sell, but do you do anything after that? How can you get them to remember you and not go to someone else selling your same product?

I’ll tell you what I do. I’ll send them a Thank You card. No, not an email or text, but an actual greeting card. People love to feel appreciated. Trust me they will keep coming back for more because you took the time to let them know that you were thinking of them and that they weren’t just a quick sell.

I would love to hear the different ways you show appreciation to your customers that work for you. Please share!

Wishing you much success!

PS: Make sure to check this book out Appreciation Marketing at http://www.appreciationmarketing.com written by Tommy Wyatt & Curtis Lewsey.  I just ordered it yesterday!

Well another wonderful thing has happened too, Bella is out of diapers!  Yes!!  I didn’t think this was ever going to happen. But I finally said this is it, but it won’t happen until I believe that she can do it .  So I changed my thinking to “Yes she can” from “No she’s not ready”.

Remember whatever you believe you can do can be done.  So the next time you think “I can’t do it” or “It won’t happen”,  just remember my little Bella, she believed she could do it and  she is now diaper free!  LOL!

Have a great day!

Well you are probably wondering what the heck is this question all about. “Do you know the magic sequence of words to get someone to say yes in less than 30 seconds?”  Well last week a good friend of ours Tom “Big Al” Schreiter was in town and spoke at our first MeetUp meeting last Sunday. If you don’t know who Tom Schreiter is then you must check out his site if you are in any network marketing opportunity. Let me just say he is the master of phrases.

He explained that people that you are approaching about your business opportunity make a decision in the first 30 seconds of you talking to them. Is that crazy or what!  So you have only 30 seconds to get them to say “Yes tell me more!” or “How do I get started?”.

So what would you say?  Well here are a few example of what you SHOULD say.

“Would it be ok, if…..”   DO NOT CHANGE THESE WORDS!

“Would it be ok, if you got an extra paycheck!”
“Would it be ok, if you got a tax refund?”
“Would it be ok, if you could keep all your customers?”
“Would it be ok, if you had a secret weapon to keep all your customers?”
“Would it be ok, if got new customers without advertising?”
“Would it be ok, if we could get your customers to come back and buy more house’s from you?”
“Would it be ok, if you never have to go to work again?”
“Would it be ok, if you got a weekly check, while your waiting for your deals to close?”

You must use small words easy to understand, no industry jargon (residual income, relationship marketing, etc)

Do you think a few of those phrases could help you get someone to say “YES”?

Change it up a bit and phrase it to whomever you are talking to whether it be a Realtor, Insurance Agent, Mortgage Broker, Stay-at-Home mom or dad.

Here is a phrase I use for moms “Would it be ok if I show you how you can make more part-time than your husband does full-time?”

Hopefully this helps!  I will make sure to post more of his “Magic Sequence of Words” in my next post.

Have a great one!

The 4 tips he gave were about how to generate “Buyer Leads”.  A buyer lead is a person that has spent some money with you already. Remember when people invest in you they are emotional invested in you too.

1. Offer something for FREE
Ex. CD, DVD then charge shipping and handling.

2. 100% Affiliate Products
Get others to promote your products. They will forward it to their list and this will you tons of exposure.  So if someone gets your FREE CD or DVD make this an offer.

3. One Time Offer
Create a product like an EBook and sell it as a bonus after someone gets your FREE CD or DVD.

4. Hold Teleseminars or Webinars
The way to make sure that they will attend is to charge a fee. Something as little as $1. Again if someone invests in you they are more likely to attend.

David Frey is also in my home business SendOutCards. He mentioned in the call how he use it for his business, like when he gets the attendees contact information from the speaking engagements he does.  He makes sure to follow up with them immediately using this marketing system.

This is a marketing system that will allow you to send 1 card, 10 cards or 10,000 cards with just a click.  And the best part is that it is personalized with your handwriting.

Well tomorrow is another day, so make sure to listen in.  See my previous post for the list of speakers and times or just register for the calls right now. Don’t miss out again!  CLICK HERE

Here are a few of the speakers scheduled. You’ll have to sign-up to see the rest!

I was watching the news this morning and they were talking about the millions of people who have lost their jobs, the  economy…blah..blah…blah.  I don’t even like watching the news anymore because it is so depressing.  I then flipped the channel on to a morning show and on that was a segment about Home Businesses.  I don’t think I have ever seen any news show talking about a home business.  It was really great to see.  This just shows you that there are other alternatives to a 9-5 job.

You can be your own boss!

There was a women on there that had been with a particular home business that made over 100,000 over the course of 13 years and that was only because she was doing it a few hours a week and she also had a 9-5 job.  Imagine if she had done it full-time.

The key is finding the right home business that works for you and having fun doing it, but first you have to be open for change. Change your mindset and know that you can do anything you put your mind to!

Wishing you much success in whatever business you choose!

I am married to Kip Farquhar and have 2 children, Kyle, 9 (on 6/23) and Bailey, 6. I have lived in Redlands my entire life! I love Redlands! My husbands family, the Farquhar’s have been here since 1887. My number one hobby/job is being a mom. That is the most important thing to me. I love being with my family and being involved in my children’s activities. I’ve always had an interest in birthday party planning for children and at one time tried a business of making specialty gift baskets (The kids’ baskets were my favorite!). I guess the two sort of came together but in a way I never expected.

While doing some volunteer work this past Christmas, I began thinking of a way I could help children throughout the year. It was a fleeting thought of possibly giving birthday parties to children whose parents couldn’t afford to give them one. While working full-time, I knew this wasnt possible so the idea evolved into filling birthday bags with lots of fun toys and candy. At first I wondered if there was even a need…if there were actually children out there who’s parents couldn’t afford to buy them a birthday gift and that maybe my idea was just plain silly. After all, I would consider my kids spoiled and couldn’t imagine there were parents who were unable to give their child at least a small toy for their special day.

Soon, I learned, after contacting several local agencies, that not only were there children here locally, who often do not get a gift at all on their birthday, but there were lots of them. What a sad, sad thought. I couldn’t imagine not being able to give my children a birthday gift. I ran my idea past a couple of friends, saying, ” What do you think about this? I would like to help brighten the birthdays of children in need by giving them a fun birthday bag full of toys and candy. I could solicit donations from friends, family, and the community.”
Feeling shot down with the response of ,” I don’t think people will want to help you with the economy the way it is. I don’t think you’ll be able to get donations”…”It’s a nice thought, but I doubt it would work.” or “you shouldn’t enable these parents”.

I agreed, my idea was silly and decided to forget about it. I went to bed that night and woke up with an even bigger desire to want to do this. That morning, I sent an email out to my friends and family. Within two weeks I had a car full of toys! Birthday Bags for kids was born. During our first month, we delivered 44 birthday bags to children in Redlands alone. Birthday Bags 4 Kids continues to gain momentum and I am very excited about where it could go. My big dream is to really grow this program…to be able to reach out to more and more children and their families… despite zip codes. To bring families together…to have a part in helping to create happy memories. I am so grateful for the support of everyone who has kept this program alive, in one way or another, in the last 6 months.

If you would like to help her give needy kids a Happy Birthday please visit her website www.BirthdayBags4Kids.org

She has a list of kids every month ranging from 1-12 years old who need a gift bag. It could be 10 things from the dollar store. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

I will keep you up to date on all the happenings with this awesome cause. We are also in the works of developing a blog for BB4K.

Have a great day!
