If you're in network marketing, party plan or direct sales, you know the value of leads that are primed--they know you and feel comfortable with you.

These are key to an easier sale and even possibly a new downline member. If you're looking for leads like this, there are a number of ways to get them. First, don't pay for them. Why? There are methods you can use that will ensure you a steady stream of leads.

One idea, if you're in home party sales and rely on working parties to get the bulk of your sales and recuits, is to forget the old sales party. These days parties are being tailored to mirror all different uses and styles. For example, an edu-party is a party that features an educational slant. It needn't be boring or dull. A simple cooking lesson would be a great fit for anyone selling home or kitchen items. You could do a basic accupressure class to relieve stress points and throw a candle party at the same time.

Getting creative is the name of the game. If you know someone who wants to feature their business or fun skills at your next party, invite them to teach a class to increase their leads base, too! If you know something fun, start figuring out a way you can teach a class, get leads and build your business all at the same time!

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...

The All Powerful PLATFORM for Non-Fiction Writers

Do you have a platform? If you don't know what this is, or don't have one, don't even think about writing your book. This is the advice from publishing big-wigs like Arielle Ford. Of course, this isn't new, but it's now the MUST HAVE marketing for nearly any non-fiction writer who truly desires to make any money with his/her book. As most books don't sell many copies, authors are to rely on back-end deals like speaking engagements and selling other programs to truly rake in the cash. As a writer, the problem exists: Most writers who truly write are not really going to want to get up and speak in front of crowds and hawk their wares (books), right? So how to overcome this? For my money, I'm guessing teleseminars and maybe video seminars could work. Also, developing programs that are pricer that you can upsell to readers who enjoy your topics. In other words, don't be complacent and think as an author you're just going to write books and make m...

Is your home party plan business failing?

I've done a TON of work with the home party plan industry and here's what I've found in the past nine years of working with and for them: 1. They want to succeed, they just don't get the right tools to do everything they can with their business. Why? Because many well-meaning mentors still use old and out-dated methods that most people just are not going to do. For example: Talking to everyone you know about your business...really? Only the most out-going (and dare I say, irritating?) people might be able to accomplish this. Another gem: Circle of influence. Yes, it's a great start, but boy-oh-boy can it be limiting. You have to get out there to make yourself known and it usually goes way beyond your own social circle. 2. They don't have lots of cash for marketing. Most home sellers make about $10,000 a year (or much less or more). It's just an average figure and one that doesn't give lots of room for spending money on marketing. Even $...
