They said, if you’re looking for tires, shop around, then Call Us Last so we can explain why you should buy from us.

Now that’s a business who’s confident about what they have to offer.

How many marketers do you know that have That Kind of Confidence?

Many networkers I know (especially online) usually can’t wait to get their offer in front of people. If you visit enough websites or blogs, you’ll begin to see a trend … you’re either beat over the head with aggressive (and sometimes hillariously bad) sales copy. Or, you’re presented with various options for allowing yourself (or at least your information) to be “captured”.

This may work fine for information marketing, or direct sales.

But …

Network marketing is Different.

If you’re a network marketer, and you think that recruiting involves “closing the sale”, I’m willing to bet that you’re probably not recruiting many people. Or if you are, you most likely have a pretty high attrition rate within your group.

In network marketing, we don’t close …

Sponsoring someone into your business is the Beginning of the process, not the end.

This is why “Call Us Last” resonated so well with me.

A Successful part-time networker MUST have the confidence to let (and even encourage) their potential business parters to have a good look around … then Call Me Last

Are you confident enough in the “tires” you’re marketing to let your competition make the first pitch?

Till next time …

Here are some of the notes I took …

“A Leader is someone who consistently demonstrates what’s possible”

• Great Leaders are path finders
• They make sacrifices, and take calculated risks

They understand …

• You can’t motivate anyone
  • provide guidance, then get out of people’s way
• Leaders are not created, people with leadership potential are found
• “Illusions of relevance” – losers are more concerned about what other people think of them, than they are about becoming successful
  • you can’t manage other people’s impressions

Leaders …

• Oversee their organization, but don’t supervise
  • they are available, but don’t pursue
• Are pace setters, but not rulers
• Are innovative, not analytical
• Are pioneers, not settlers
• Are creators, not critics
  • blaze the trail

The shift to Leadership is very minor and easy

• slight changes can produce major results

A few more traits that leaders share …

• They don’t control, they trust
• Leaders are peaceful
• They attract, not repel
• They are excited
• Demand authenticity … no spin
• Fearful, but never phobic … verify
• Self deprecating – never boastful
  • real leaders don’t have to tell you how great they are … actions speak
• They’d rather be active millionaires than passive billionaires

This call was perfect timing for me. I’m just getting settled back in at home, and I’m ready to jump into my business with both feet again. I was actually just on Mark’s website Holy Grail of Network Marketing and I’m ready to order the first volume in the training series.
