Cold Feet Closing

Invite - Complete
Presentation - Complete 
Closing- Uhhhh

So you went through the trouble of inviting someone to take a look at what you're doing and they said yes!

Not only did they agree to look, but they actually did! So now comes the close....

Well no worries this is where people either get nervous or hope the miracle of them saying I want to join comes in. News ALERT if you don't ask them more than likely they aren't going to join.

* Fun Fact: The #1 reason people don't join a company is because they were never asked to join.

One of my favorite quotes is by Eric Grzybowski, "We don't work for free, so if you show someone and don't ask them to join you just worked for free!" 

Here are 3 Major Things You Must Understand To Get Better

1. No Addiction to the outcome: Your only job in the business is to get someone to an exposure (Johnny Wimbrey). You have to become like an airplane you are leaving with or without anyone person aboard. You have a schedule to keep and that schedule is your future you! 
2. Pre-strike: Before you start the presentation, tell the person why YOU are doing the business. It can't be for materialistic reasons. Make it personal, make it authentic and most of all be vulnerable. People can see the fake and feel the real.
3. Assume The Close: When the presentation is over assume they loved it and with excitement say, "So you're ready to get started RIGHT!" This shows your excitement and commitment, which is contagious. When you assume they are joining they are more likely to join.

Meet Someone and Stuck With What to Say......

We've all been there! Brand new and excited about your opportunity! Then we meet someone and either stumble over what to say or throw up all over them.

Tired of not getting the results you want? Well this video might help.

Wanting Better Results

I remember being brand new in the profession and getting so excited I would talk to everyone. They called it the 3 foot rule, meaning if someone was within three feet of you talk to them about your opportunity. 

I'm not apposed to this, however you might want to be armed with some skill to become more effective. 

I wanted better results so I sought out some additional training and Todd Falcone who is a great trainer in the profession had a course on cold market prospecting, so I bought it. The course changed everything for me!

I went from hardly getting anyone to take a look at what I was doing to having everyone wanting to see what more money was about. 

Now I know what you're thinking, I have to spend money on a course. The answer is NO! 

However, you might want to consider the alternative to this.

1. You can talk to a lot of people with what you are saying and with sheer numbers you can make up for what you lack in skill.

2. How have your results been thus far?

3. If you don't invest in yourself what is the real cost? What's the alternative?

Is Your Past Haunting You?

Do you often think about things you would do different in the past or missed opportunities? 

This will help you to shift gears into a regret-less life.

3 Ways For Shifting Your Focus

Most of the time people will focus on past experiences and current circumstances when they think about life. Is this you? Well, I'm here to tell you that it is not serving you?

1. What are you grateful for?

Is it your job? Is it your business? Is it the people you are surrounded by? What are the things when focused on make you happy?

The attitude of gratitude is what keeps our heads lifted and focused on the right things.

2. How can I make someone else happy?

Who can you write a note to, to help brighten up their day? Who can you call and say I've been thinking about you and want to wish you well?

Giving positive energy will give you positive energy and will come from unlikely sources.

3. Who can I get around to make me better and get me on path?

You can't always meet with the people who are successful in your field but in this day in age technology can have you listen to them or view there videos. I'm a huge fan of Ray Higdon. www.rayhigdon.com 

No one ever listens to failures so don't you do it either.

How to Get Your Significant Other to Do A 3 Way

3 Way is The Best Way

My very first time I was so nervous, my palms were sweating and I couldn't believe it was going to happen, my very first 3 way. The feeling of excitement, the anticipation, the thoughts of what if it goes well or what if it doesn't. Will she agree to do it again?

The Jig Is Up

Ok ok ok I must confess if you were looking for a guide to a 3 way other than a 3 way phone call this blog probably won't help with those "other" ideas. At this point you have an emotion of sadness, relief or curiosity. Well either way this will be a NO HYPE POST. If you are still ready to learn about the power of a 3 way phone call let's get into it.

Why a 3 Way Is Important

I'm writing this blog because many times a person may see an opportunity presentation and depending on which spouse you are sitting with can produce different results. Typically in most relationships there is the decision maker spouse and there is the supporter spouse. If you find yourself with the decision maker spouse, then you have a higher chance of getting the group decision.

This is if you find yourself with the spouse who is the support. Usually the spouse who is supportive will get excited, however won't make the decision for the group. They will go home with excitement and if decision maker doesn't side with them, then you are chopped liver.

This is where a 3 way call comes into play to help both parties understand what they are seeing and not jump to any conclusions.  

The 3 Way Golden Rules 

Before we can effectively do a 3 way phone call we must understand that there are rules to make it a success. 

#1 Find out information about there spouse. Who knows them better than the person they live with. This will help increase your chances of connecting and helping the couple.

#2 Train the spouse on what to say prior to them speaking with there spouse. If you do not do this the call will not happen and you have no chance of helping impact their lives.

#3 Teach them to be quite when you are speaking with their spouse as you do not want to interrupt the expert.

#4 Respect the decision of both parties. Wether they join or not respect is key. You never know if they will come back around later.

#5 Ask for referrals. You never leave without asking for referrals, because they can lead you to someone great!

All The Joys Of A 3 Way

When you think about doing a 3 way phone call with the spouse who is upbeat and the excitement is flowing they can be totally fun. I recently did a 3 way phone a with a new team member and his wife. She saw our product and immediately got excited. I could tell there was some apprehension thought. I asked her what she liked best about what she saw? She replied, "It looks like tons of fun." I said, "Yea I agree!" She asked a few questions for understanding and after answering them she said it was way different than what I thought and better!

See if we hadn't got her on the phone she would have had a false understanding and not been able to see the world with us! It's best we got them started!

Here's My Challenge To You: When you are faced with an objection of I have to talk to my spouse about it. Share the ideas from this post to help educate the couple to make the best decision for them! Get a 3 way phone call done this week!

Here's My Final Thought: This is not a 100% Guarantee that if you do a 3 way phone call that everyone is going to join you, but what is true is that if you don't do them you won't be able to help the excited spouse live the life of their dreams. 

To Your Success!

Top 5 Ways To Stay Motivated

The Struggle Is Real: Motivation The Best 5 Ways To 

When I was a teenager I could hear my father yell out to his football players, "Stay solid and disciplined. Don't let anyone stop you rom getting to the Quarterback!" I always wondered how he was able to get the best out of his players and make them better. This fascinated me as a young man. As I got older and started my journey into business I would always reflect back to hearing my father saying stay solid and disciplined, don't let anyone stop you. As good as those words were, they didn't seem to resonate with me during tough times. I would often find myself getting down and feeling sorry when things wouldn't go my way. It wasn't until I got a coach to help me understand the things that I needed to do in order to inoculate the staying motivated feeling. 

I'm going to share with you some of my private coaching and the 5 best ways to stay motivated.

1. Focus On Your Vision 

What is the vision you have set for yourself? Is it to be the best parent? Is it to be the best coach? Is it to be the top income earner in your company? Whatever your vision is you cannot lose sight of it! The old saying is without a vision the people will parish. So I asked my coach why am I not staying focused on my activities to grow in my business? He replied, "Randy if you are not doing the things you need to do on a daily basis to grow, it is simple.... You lack vision." This was tough for me to swallow, however I knew that if I wanted to get better then I had to listen. I asked, "How do I get better? How do I get vision?" He laughed and said, "You don't GET vision, it's in you! You just have to find it and focus on the things that you desire." 

Here is the exercise he gave me: 15 Minutes in the morning, shut off your phone and any sound that is going on. Sit down and do some meditation with your eyes close, really seeing what you want in the future. The best parent! The best coach! The top income earner! Simply focus on what you want and the feeling it will bring to accomplish it!

2. Affirmations

The majority of people don't do affirmations. Most people are unsure as to what they are and if they work? Affirmations are the things that you say aloud that you want to become allowing the universe to help you to achieve those things. I questioned if this was even possible and if it was how come everyone wouldn't do it? The real question was why would I not do it? If coach said do it, that is exactly what I did!

Here is how I start every affirmation: I am so happy and grateful I am ________________________

3. Attitude of Gratitude

Instead of looking at how far you have to go, look at how far you have come! When struggling with the disease compare-itis you have to know that everyone started from the same place, the beginning! Every great person at one point or another sucked. So know that you have to suck to get good and get good to become great. Think about what you are grateful for and all the things you have in your life.

The attitude of gratitude will help you to grow and see your vision clearer.  Gratitude helps put things into perspective and what is important in life.

4. Surrounded by Greatness

Who are you listening to on a daily basis? You become the average of the top 5 people you hang around with on a daily basis. In the beginning of starting my business I heard this concept. Well I didn't have millionaire friends to go play golf with or go to lunch with, so what do you do? The advice I got was worth gold! The people I started to surround myself with were on audio and video. You can listen to, read or watch whoever you want to.

It is 2015 you can easily get on Youtube, Facebook or Amazon and find the people who want what you have. Always surround yourself with greatness!

5. Believe You Can

Knowing that it is possible to achieve greatness in any field you want is one thing. It is another thing to believe you can! The first step on any journey is to believe you can, because if you don't why would a person start? Without a ounce of belief there is no vision there is nothing! This is the heart of where it all begins is the belief that it possible for you to be the best parent, the best coach, the top income earner!

Believe you can do anything you put your mind to! You can do it!

Here's my Challenge to you: It is easy to read this blog and do the typical thing...... Nothing! You may read this and say I can't do all that. Well the challenge is to embrace change, embrace challenge, embrace something new. Don't hesitate and postpone your destiny. You may have to start out with one of these and slowly work your way to doing all five. Which ever one or two you choose, do them for 21 or more days straight!

Here's my Final Thought: The successful do what the unsuccessful are unwilling to do. Don't allow motivation or the lack there of to have you on an emotional roller coaster. 

To Your Success!

Strengthen Your Personal Initiative

Your personal Initiative is the spark that initiates your actions. Without personal initiative you cannot be successful. 

Napoleon Hill talked about personal initiative at length in his 9th principal of success. He said, “Success is something you must achieve, without someone telling you what to do or why you should do it.” 

Where Does Success Come From

Success comes to those who are proactive. Instead of drifting through life doing only what is required, successful people do the extra things that give direction to their goals and bring more fulfillment to there lives. 

No one told Fred Smith to start FedEx. He started it by using his own personal initiative. No one told Sergey Brin or Larry Page why they should start Google, they did it using their own personal initiative. No one pushed me everyday to do the things that were required of me to achieve my goals. It was the consistent use of my personal initiative that allowed me to achieve them. 

No matter what your goal is becoming a remarkable parent, one of your companies most valued employees, an outstanding athlete, a top producing sells person or the owner of your own business. If you’re going to be successful, you must use your personal initiative to do the little things required of you to succeed. It won’t happen any other way. 

Personal initiative is more than a requirement to achieving your goals. It’s about taking time to do the little things that make your life and the lives of others both at work and at home more enjoyable. It’s doing the simple things like picking up your dirty clothes, washing the windows or emptying the over flowing trashcan. It’s taking 3 minutes to clean the coffee mugs in the office sink. It’s taking time to express your genuine gratitude to someone who did something for you. It’s offering to help a friend in need. 

How Will It Benefit You?

In a sense your personal initiative is noticing and being aware of the things that need to be done without being asked. 

I firmly believe that the only way you will have personal initiative to do the big things, is to strengthen it by first doing the little things. Every big success is made up of a great number of little successes. Each requiring personal initiative. Many are so insignificant that you’ll be the only personal who notices. But in the end isn’t that all that matters? After all it is you that has the deep yearning in your heart to achieve a goal. You’re the one responsible for taking action and making decisions. And you’re the only one who can change course if required. 

The use of personal initiative has more benefits than meets the eye. First you’ll become more respected. People who use their personal initiative are well regarded and have greater influence. Next it will build your self-esteem. No other method for building self-esteem is more effective than using your personal initiative to do the little things you know you should do. And last it’ll help you advance your career. People who are consistent in using their personal initiative to advance their careers are those at the top of the pay scale in their profession. 

Here’s my challenge to you: This is your opportunity to step up your game and distinguish yourself from the growing number of apathetic people. This is your chance to use your unique talents and skills to achieve the things that are important to you. Don’t let the lethargic environment around you keep you from stetting yourself to be your very best. Start by doing the things that require personal initiative. As you build your confidence in doing the little things stretch yourself to do the big things. Continue this process and allow each success to build upon the prior one. 

Here’s my final thought: Now is the time to put your life in gear and go conquer your dreams! 

To Your Success!
