Yes, You Need An Automatic Sales Funnel!

If you have an online business or network marketing business, there are a few ‘must have tools’ that are critical for the success of your business.  One of those ‘must have tools’ that I will focus on today is the Automated Sales Funnel.  If you want to gain leverage and have your business exposed and working for you consistently and effortlessly, you need to create or gain access to an automated sales funnel.  So what is it, and how does it work to improve your efforts and results online?

Why An Automatic Sales Funnel?

An automatic Sales Funnel is simply a strategically, planned selling system which uses a series of web pages that are advantageously linked together in an effort to gain the attention of your leads in order to capture, shift and convert your leads 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

A good automated sales funnel is one that will do all the work for you in explaining your business, the product(s), opportunities and benefits, compensation or any relevant information that a prospect should know to ultimately close or help you to close the sale.

Once set up correctly, all the heavy lifting, sorting and sifting of leads are done for you.  Having an automatic sales funnel creates time leverage which enables you to expand the efforts of your business.

So How Do Automatic Sales Funnels Work?

All sales funnels always have a ‘lead’ entry point.  This is the point at which your lead will access your system.  Just like a traditional brick and mortar store the entry point is the door, and when someone walks into the door of a store, a series of events occur.  The entry point for an automatic sale funnel is usually found on a lead capture page or squeeze page.  A lead capture page is just like a store-front in that when someone enters the doors, the goal is to have them purchase something or have an experience that makes them want to return.

Ultimately it’s all about funneling out the bad leads (non converting leads) to get to the good leads (leads that convert) – just like a store; not all people who enter a store will purchase, but you want to give them an experience or incentive to return. And it is such with your automatic sales funnel – it must be set up in a way to entice even the non-buyers so as to keep them coming back, just in case they do decide to purchase at a later time.

The goal of your automatic sales funnel is to gain attention, capture, and shift your leads in order to close or help you close the best possible leads. For example, you may get 100 leads coming into your automatic sale funnel which may convert into 10 sales.  Your Automatic sales funnel is designed to do this work for you.

Thoughts To Consider When Creating or Seeking An Automatic Sales Funnel

There are 3 main topic areas or categories to consider when creating or looking for an automated sales funnel.

·         The first category is all about connecting with the right leads – how do you find the leads  that will be interested in your offer or better yet how do leads that are interested in your offer find you? Just like a traditional store – how do brick and mortar stores find leads? Is it by a window dressing, a sale sign, a mailed circular, word of mouth etc?

·         The second category to consider is how do you capture your leads – This is all about how to design and layout your lead capture page in order to get the most effective results.  The question really becomes: How will you get those leads to even look at what you have to offer? – Again just like a traditional store; how do you attract your leads enough to make them want to come in the door.  Are you with your capture page offering them enough value to entice them to complete the form on your capture page?

·         The third and final category to consider is about converting your leads – this is how you will take them from a curious, non- buyer into a happy buyer and your system should be set up and strategically choreographed in such a way to address, remedy or answer any questions or curiosities your leads may have.

Designing or gaining access to a good and well thought out automatic sales funnel is another solution to tilting your success results in your favor!

Don’t Just Skim Over The Product In Network Marketing.

Finding a multi-level marketing product to promote and sell in your network marketing business is not a difficult task.  As a matter of fact it is rather easy…maybe a bit too easy!

Let’s face it; there are lots and lots of multi-level marketing products on the market.  There are juices, pills, lotions, vitamins, coins, chocolate, apparel, coffee, candles and much, much more than I can ever list here!  Multi-level marketing products and companies can be found everyday and everywhere, however finding the correct product is a critical part of your multi-level marketing success. Yet folks seem to just skim over the products that MLM companies offer.  This skimming over can lead disappointment and failure if 3 specific things are not considered.

Do You Believe In Your Network Marketing Products?

Having said that, the very first ingredient at a minimum to be considered is your Belief in the product(s) you want to promote and sell. It is rather difficult to sell and promote something that you truly don’t believe in. But finding the correct product is more than just your belief in the product!

So… apart from you believing in your product, how do you determine what product would make sense for you and your network marketing business?

The Second Network Marketing Ingredient & Product

The second thing to consider is Value.  Your customers, clients and prospects are looking for something that not only do they want, but something that is of great importance and usefulness to them.   Value is something we as consumers search for everyday in our choices of purchases.  Value is about worth, importance and usefulness.  Ask yourself this question, “why should anyone be any different from me?” If you see the value of something, you are more apt and open to purchasing it, Right? So the key here is finding a product that has high value in the minds of your audience.

The Third Network Marketing Ingredient & Product

The third thing to consider is Continuity & Usability.  Continuity is defined as something that remains consistent or uninterrupted throughout and usability is about its capability of use.  If you find a product that your clients, customers and prospects will use consistently over and over again without interruption, then you have found a winner.

Some folks may also call this as having a consumable product.  A consumable product refers to a product that the consumer uses up and repurchases to replenish.  See my post on:  What Are The Elements Of A Good MLM?

Find a product that meet the above 3 considerations and you can position your network marketing business to be poised for success!

Multilevel Marketing, Scentsy & Scented Candles.

The Multilevel Marketing industry continues to grow everyday and since its inception, has grown to a multi-billion dollar mega industry.  If you think about it, where there is a product, there is a network marketing company.  There seem to be all kinds of products in the network marketing arena which range from household, to health, to technology and yes even wick-less scented candles aka scented wax and wax warmers by way of Scentsy.

You mayor (may not) have heard about this direct marketing company which sells and offers an array of scented wax candles and accessories by way of independent consultants – but do you really know their story.  The goal here is to provide you with enough information on the company, their products and what they have to offer so that you can make an informed decision to use the products or join their business opportunity.

My First Encounter With Scentsy.

I remember going to church a few months ago and a woman in the church congregation approached my wife and asked her to take a look at her Scentsy products.  At the time I had no clue who or what Scentsy was, so I asked, who in the world is Scentsy and what do they sell.  Little did I know I’d be purchasing several flavors of wickless scented wax along with their decorative warmers as Christmas gifts!  To my surprise, the products have been well received.  The people I gave the gifts to felt that the products were safer than a traditional candle!

Scentsy seems to be one of those companies that just came from no where and have grown into a million dollar revenue producing company.  Their no hype approach has allowed the company to generate over $900 Million in revenue in just about 7 years. So who are they…?

Who is in the world is Scentsy?

Scentsy is a direct marketing, multilevel marketing company whose focus is on promoting and selling wickless scented wax, wax warmers, room sprays and hand sanitizers.  Some may call it a scented candle, but this is not just the average scented candle…

Sometimes simplicity just works!  Scentsy came about as a result of a simple idea that two stay-at-home moms had.  The idea – create a wickless candle using a decorative designed warmer to heat and melt the wax (heating source – a light bulb) instead of the conventional wick and fire, and as they say… “The rest is history…” as a result of a home party the product caught the eye and attention of the Thompsons.

Get More Information On Scentsy

The company was purchased in 2004 by Heidi and Orville Thompson and became part of the Direct Selling Association.  Scentsy is located in Meridian, Idaho and they are accredited by the Better Business Bureau.  Their products are sold and promoted through independent consultants who can earn 20% to 30% commission on their own sales in addition to earning added bonuses on the sales of other independent consultants they sponsor.  Also in 2004, Scentsy enrolled its very first independent consultant and today has independent consultants throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, Guam and Puerto Rico.

Success with Scentsy or other MLM opportunit

If you are already an independent consultant for scentsy or other mlm opportunity, you already know that the key to having a successful business is having a consistent flow of leads.  One of the best places and easiest ways to find targeted strong leads is to use Facebook effectively.  Get the up to date information on Facebook and begin to learn how to build your business using social media.

The Self Determination & Focus of a Child

Today is my daughter’s 10^th birthday and I’m on top of the world with pride and elation.  I’m so thrilled for her!  She’s the one who inspired me to write this post on focus and self determination.  For several weeks, I’ve been trying to find a way to convey why we must have self determination and focus in what we do in order to reap the successes we aspire from our network marketing businesses.  And low and behold it was right under my nose all the time – My daughters self determination and focus in planning and executing her birthday wishes!

Over the last 3 weeks or so it started happening; well to be “frank” it was more like over the last 6 months.  My daughter had been consistently making sure and reminding my wife and me about her birthday- and boy, did we get the message!

Seven Figure Blueprint Teleseminar

My 9 year old, now 10 year old, had been telling my wife and me “you know my birthday is coming up in 6 months”!  And our answer had obviously been “yes we know” …as she recited what she wanted for her birthday, what she wanted to do for her birthday and what restaurant she wanted to eat at for her special day (she gave us 2 choices for the restaurant).  This continued each and every month consistently until about 3 weeks ago where the intensity was kicked up a notch.  Talk about self determination?!!!!

Dad’s Epiphany of His Daughter’s Self determination & Focus

About two weeks ago she started to write down everything she had been reciting to us over the last 6 months and she started checking off what was accomplished vs. what was not accomplished.  Things on her list  like – did we make reservations for her bowling party yet, did we order her invitations, did we order her cake, did we get her gift.  Things like…Does PF Changs or Bahama Breeze take reservations and did we make them.  She also wrote down and said that she wanted a bowling party with her friends on the weekend of her birthday and dinner at one of the above restaurants with family on her actual birthday (we will do PF Changs).  Things that were not checked off on her list were constantly brought up as a reminder for us not to forget.

My daughter was keeping things front and center in our minds which was quite clever – she was determined and focused on getting her desired result and used a plan and took action to make it happen!  Talk about PRIDE! I’m so proud of her and if all this is not what self determination and focus is, I must be missing the boat.

Lessons from a Child on Focus & Self Determination

The point here is a 10 year old, did some pretty basic, yet powerful things to get the results she was looking for.  She used 4 basic elements in self determination & focus.  Something we as adults should be using in our everyday lives in our pursuit for success  in our network marketing businesses. These 4 elements are:

• Affirm What You Want – Say out loud what you want in the first person in the present tense. See my post on Mindset For The Home Business

• Develop A Routine – Create a daily or weekly schedule/ plan that help you to stay focused on what it is you desire.

•  Take Action -  Take daily steps to work your plan

•  Never Give Up -  Make adjustments instead

Happy Birthday Nadja & Thanks for the Inspiration and Self Determination!

Do You Have The Best Home Business

I wanted to spend some time on a topic that is so important to network marketing but is rarely written about in network marketing.  The topic is having the correct mindset and attitude for the best home business.  I say the “best home business” because one of the prerequisites to true success is to truly believe that your business is in fact “the best home business” there is.  Now, please don’t get confused here, you must still do your due diligence and do your homework/ research before choosing any home business. However once you do, you need to dive in 100% and believe in what you do. This post is designed to assist you with checking your mindset and attitude towards yourself and your “best home business” success.

Let’s face it, no matter what business you get involved with, one of the most important things you will need to do is make money consistently in order for you business to survive for the long term but, even more important is acquiring and maintaining the correct mindset for success.  I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “you are what you think” and your “best home business” success depends on what and how you think about yourself, your business and your financial future & freedom.

If you do not have the correct mindset to earn a substantial income and have total belief in yourself and what you can do, you seriously diminish your chances to be financially successful with your “best home business”. It’s about what you think, what you do and how you execute what you know and understand.  Success is 80% mindset and attitude and 20% knowing the product, compensation plan and choreographed techniques.   Having the correct mindset will enable you to succeed at anything you choose to do.  The successful winning mindset starts with you thinking, talking, walking and acting like a winner.

Get A Piece Of The Best Kept Secret

There are 2 topic areas of focus that will train you to have the correct mindset for your “best home business”.  These 2 topic areas of focus are, Continuous Personal Development and Using Affirmations.

Continuous Personal Development For Your “Best Home Business”.

Personal development is about learning and enhancing the skills necessary to be really good at what you do positioning yourself to reap the success you want.  It requires a commitment of time and discipline.  I truly believe in the saying “what you put in is what you get out” The more you improve your skill level, the better your business will be as a result of it. Create a daily schedule and spend at lease 20 to 30 minutes each day on your personal development.  If you don’t, you will be doing yourself and your business a disservice – don’t expect great results on limited skills. Think of it this way – would you fly on a plane with a pilot who only had 3 hours of flight time logged? Then, treat your “best home business” as though it is a plane with you being its pilot.  Start by reading books on success or written by people who’ve had success.  And here are a few to start:

• Your First Year In Network Marketing
• Think And Grow Rich
• If It Is To Be It’s Up To Me
• Multiple Streams Of Income
• The Greatest Salesman In The World
• The One Minute Millionaire

Start with these and use the personal development section of your local bookstore to add to this list.

Cultivate Your Thinking For Your “Best Home Business”.

Cultivating or training your thinking is all about making/ speaking affirmations out loud.  The word affirmation is defined as a positive statement or declaration that is written in the “first person” and is in present tense. Here are few examples:

“I make $1500 dollars a day” (instead of: ‘I will make $1500 dollars a day’).  

“I own a big house” (instead of: I will own a big house)

“I am a strong leader” (instead of: I will be a strong leader)

Everyday you need to make affirmations, preferably when you wake up in the morning, at lease 2 more times during the day and again before bed time.  The reason for this is because your mind functions on two distinct levels.  The two levels are the sub-conscious mind and the conscious mind.  Your conscious mind works by way of helping you to decipher, rationalize, reason, decision making, etc.  Where as the sub-conscious mind grabs the pure data it receives from your conscious mind and goes to work to make the data it receives your reality.  It does not judge the data that it receives.  The point here is if you feed your sub-conscious mind positive thoughts, it will work to make those thoughts your reality. Obviously negative thoughts will drive it to make those thoughts your reality.  When you affirm in the first person and in the present tense, it sends a message to your sub-conscious mind that this is your reality now.

So go ahead and say your affirmations out loud and begin to feed your sub-conscious mind what you want your reality to be.  Say it out loud “I have the best home business!”

You Can Win In Your Network Marketing Business If You…

Understanding how to build your network marketing business both online and off line is a process.  The word process is defined as:  “a series of actions directed toward a specific aim”.  You must create an aim or goal and put actions in place towards reaching that aim or goal.  In part 1 of the “Five Strategies You Have To Know To make Your Network Marketing Business Thrive”, I covered how to plan your work and work your plan for your network marketing business as well as differentiating yourself in your network marketing business.  The main points in part 1 was about creating a plan to get you to reaching your goal or aim.  As well as seeking to find your best and strongest attributes in order for you to implement and use those strong attributes to differentiate yourself.  In part 2, I will cover the other 3 strategies that you must know and use so that your network marketing business will thrive and grow.  They are:

1.      Seek Continuous Improvement in your brand (YOU) for your network marketing business.

2.      Keep your brand highly visible in your network marketing business.

3.      Touch your customers or prospects regularly / Connecting on an emotional level.

Strategy Number Three: Seek Continuous Improvement In Your Brand (YOU) For Your Network Marketing Business.

In order to grow you and your network marketing business, you need to embrace the need to continually learn and understand your craft.   Continuous improvement is a key element in your quest for success in your network marketing business.  Continuous improvement in your network marketing business should be a permanent part of your monthly and weekly schedule or routine.  Some may ask, “Where do I start?”  I personally like to approach things in 3’s.  Start with 3 broad areas or topics that you want to learn about, and then break those broad areas or topics into sub areas or topics – what I call “bite sizes”.  You then want to determine a time frame for completion.  Lastly you need to get to work by taking action to continuously improve in your network marketing business.  Below is a monthly example of an action plan for continuous improvement and learning:

Strategy Number Four: Keep your brand highly visible in your network marketing business.

It is important to understand and recognize that the brand you represent and promote is “YOU”.  Even if you are selling a product, people still want to know who they are buying from.  Therefore you need to let people know who you are in your network marketing business!  There are some of us who hide behind our computers – sending out email blast, business offerings and useless marketing approaches.   Please don’t be one of those people – Folks; it does not work that way for any business, online or offline.  Most of, if not all of it ends up in the trash! The reality is people will generally purchase brands or do business with people they trust, know or recognize.  Generally, the way people get to know about and trust the brands they purchase is through familiarity and repetition.   Why do you think companies pay so much for commercials; why do you think they repeat their commercials over and over and over to the point where you start singing the jingle and associating the brand to the jingle? It’s about brand recognition and brand awareness.  And you too must strive to make your brand visible in your network marketing business.

Using Postcards To Grow Your Business

Strategy Number Five: Touch your customers or prospects regularly / Connecting on an emotional level.

Your customers or your prospects are the lifeline of your business and I believe they should be treated like gold.  Don’t be afraid to reach out to your lifeline.  Call them and thank them for choosing you!  DO NOT be a mysterious leader.  Make it part of your plan to make phone calls to connect with your base.  Find out who they are what they like and need.  Get to know what their goals and aspirations are, then focus on helping them.  It’s as simple as – “The more you help them accomplish their goals and aspirations, the closer you come to satisfying your own goals and aspirations.   If you truly and sincerely help people get what they want you will get what you want – but you must be sincere.  It may sound a bit crazy, but go overboard helping people and you will see your network marketing business thrive.

This Network Marketing Business Thing Is Hard!

Oh Yes it is…but not impossible. Too often people jump into a network marketing business without a plan or the correct mindset to enable their business to thrive and develop.  It’s just a matter of time before they give up or claim that it was a scam or some other bogus reason why their business failed.  Now don’t get me wrong, there are scams and schemes out there that will discourage and put a bad taste in peoples mouths, but that’s where doing your due diligence, planning and yes, trial and error comes into play.  Yes, it may take you a few tries with different network marketing companies, different up-lines, or different products until you find the right fit.  The key is not to give up!  Don’t give up on yourself, your dreams or your aspirations.  In part 1, this post will cover 2 of the 5 strategies that you have to know and use in order to make your network marketing business thrive, no matter what network marketing company you are with.

The five strategies you must know to make your network marketing business thrive are

1.      Plan your work and work your plan for your network marketing business.

2.      Differentiate yourself in your network marketing business.

3.      Seek continuous improvement in your brand (YOU) for your network marketing business.

4.      Keep your brand highly visible in your network marketing business

5.      Touch your customers or prospects regularly / Connecting on an emotional level with your network marketing business.

Strategy Number One: Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan For Your Network Marketing Business.

As an independent distributor in the network marketing field, you have to remember that you work for yourself! So, even though the network marketing company you represent may give you some guidance or literature – aka a kit, nothing really occurs or happens until you make a plan and take action on that plan.  The main element in what I just stated is making a plan.  The mistake that many people make when starting a business, is they enter into business without a plan and subject themselves to eventual failure.  Winners in business almost always, ALWAYS, have a game plan.  Think of it like football, baseball or basketball – do you think you favorite team goes into the game without a game plan?  If they did, they would lose their favorite status quite quickly.  Equally important to making a game plan is executing or working the game plan.  This is basically doing what you said you wanted to do in your game plan.

Get the Skills To Understand Online Marketing

Strategy Number Two: Different Is Better! Differentiate Yourself In Your Network Marketing Business.

What is your best product? If someone asks me this question, generally I know and understand that they may be referring to the company I represents product – but my thinking is, my best product is me. Therefore I must always put my best foot forward.  If it means going the extra mile to satisfy a customer or taking extra time out of my schedule to help someone out – I will.  I know they will remember me for just those reasons!  As for the product the network marketing company sells, the customer or prospect may or may not remember the company’s product, but I will ensure they remember me in a positive way.  When it comes to differentiating who you are, think about your strong attributes and what sets you apart from the next person, and use those attributes to grow your business.

In Part 2, I will cover the other 3 strategies that will make your business thrive.  All 5 of these strategies are simple, yet powerful if used and implemented in your business.  Though simplistic and powerful, many network marketing independent distributors neglect to use them in their network marketing business.

Get Visitors And Increase Your Website Traffic.

If you truly want to get visitors to your website and increase your website traffic, one great and free way to do so is through the use of search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing.  Several of my past posts have focused on how to increase your website traffic through the use of SEO optimization, specifically how to get better rankings through keyword use, content and on-page and off-page strategies.  A true fact is that if you know how and exactly what you are doing, you actually can fast track yourself to success and increase your website traffic along with your rankings in your niche market dramatically.  In this piece I would like to show you precisely how to make this occur so that you can get the traffic that you want and need.

Does Ranking High On The Search Engines Increase Your Website Traffic?

When your website ranks well with search engines such as Bing, Yahoo or Google, you almost immediately begin to receive more highly targeted traffic. Not only does this increase your website traffic, but if you invest the time to do it correctly, your cost is virtually zero.  Now, in order to rank well and increase your website traffic,  it is important that you have good, original content on your site that is specific to your niche market.  For example, if your site is about how to catch fish, your content should generally be focused on fishing. This is the First Step – Keep your content relevant to what your site is all about.  The search engines will not rank you high if your site is all over the board.  The Second Step is – You’ve got to ensure you have at least ten article pages or post on your website. Your ranking in the organic pages will go up.

Find Out Why Competitors Outrank You… Then beat them!

Increase Your Website Traffic Through SEO…

The most significant way to optimize your website for the search engines and increase your website traffic is to be certain all content on your site has keywords.

Keywords are those terms that people might use if they are attempting to find something that your website has to offer. For instance, if your business is selling cameras, you should include the word ‘camera’ on our site.  Additionally, you also want to include as many offshoots of ‘camera’ in as many terms like ‘buy a camera,’ ‘best cameras,’ ‘camera for sale,’ and that kind of stuff.

Get Targeted Keywords & SEO Stats At Your Fingertips

But just peppering your internet site with these terms, without any extra info, isn’t really enough for S.E.O.  This means you have to have good, original, relevant content!

Search engines love well optimized websites and as a consequence send massive volumes of traffic to them.  So it stands to reason that the investment of time spent on learning some of the basic steps of SEO is a wise investment if you want to increase your website traffic.  Here are 3 SEO tips to get you started:

1.                          When constructing your website site or blog or creating an article, ensure the keywords you are targeting are in your heading and sub headings.

2.                          When writing a post or article use at least 350 words.

3.                           Your keywords should not be used in your post or article more than 5% of the time.

Good use of SEO methods will generate more traffic and raise your Page Rank over time.  Always take the time to research ways to improve your website’s optimization and continue to educate yourself on SEO and how to increase your website traffic.
