Teaching Sells in Business

I hope you are open minded and you may agree or disagree with the contents. My intention is to share and expand your knowledge about network marketing, and also to challenge you to think out of the box.

What may work for me might not work for you, because NETWORK MARKETING is about people and we relate to people differently. If what you do works and makes wonders for you, I recommend you stick with it. Be aware that we are living in modern times and things evolve, so as the NETWORK MARKETING INDUSTRY.

TEACHING SELLS and pushing sales, pushes prospects away. Don’t PUSH sales, TEACH your prospects about health & nutrition, hygiene, skin care and/or whatever you may be retailing in your program. Read and collect more information about health &

nutrition (or whatever you are most comfortable with) and share that information with your prospects. One can make a presentation and teach prospects about health and nutrition, without mentioning your NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS and guess what will happen at the end of the presentation. Prospects will ask you where can they get the products / services. Then you can introduce your MLM business and its products.

The more you TEACH, prospect will ask you to join your business. Also when your prospects join, TEACH them how you are doing it. Be there for your prospects, present on behalf of your prospects up until they can do the presentations on their own. In most cases your prospects will choose products you are also retailing. Chances are very high that you will also TEACH your prospect’s prospects about health and nutrition, and those prospects will either buy the products and/or join your business.

TEACHING about your products and/or services does not only apply to NETWORK MARKETING only. This applies to any industry, if you are a car mechanic TEACH your clients about keeping your car in good condition as it will save them money. TEACHING SELLS

“Selling is about leading. If you want to close more sales, you need to improve your ability to persuade your prospects to take action now. People will buy today if you give them a reason to buy today”

Building my FORTUNE with NETWORK MARKETING, while making a living with Advertising & Printing

Network Marketing is also known as Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) or Referral Marketing.

Although it has been around since the early part of the last century, for many people, it is still unfamiliar territory.

It is a very good way of starting a profitable, full-time business with little or no investment. It is also a good method of starting a second or part-time business to run alongside your existing business, career or lifestyle.

In most cases it involves selling a product or service which is produced and supplied by a ‘mother’ company. You take on the responsibilities of selling the products and introducing other people to the company. You get paid commission on the products / services sold by yourself and a smaller commission on the products / services sold by the people you have introduced to the company. In addition to this, you often get a percentage commission based on the sales of the people who- ‘the people you introduced’- introduced… and so on…Confused?  Sorry!

Designing a Logo

Follow these guidelines to create the best logo for your company.

By John Williams

Do you realise just how important your company logo is? It appears on everything from your letterhead to your website, reaching customers, prospects, suppliers and the press. In other words, your logo reaches everyone who has any contact with you and is the first impression someone will have of your company. Because of its potential impact, your logo must offer a favorable impression of your business.

Present yourself clearly and dynamically, and you’ll look like a pro, even if your office is in your home’s basement.Easier said than done, you say? Maybe. Luckily, there are time-tested guidelines you can follow in your quest for a great logo. Whether you hire an agency or decide to create it yourself, commit these rules to memory – or at least bookmark this web page:1. Your logo should reflect your company in a unique and honest way: Sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how many business owners want something “just like” a competitor.

If your logo contains a symbol – often called a “bug” – it should relate to your industry, your name, a defining characteristic of your company or a competitive advantage you offer.What’s the overriding trait you want people to remember about your business? If it’s quick delivery, consider objects that connote speed, like wings or a clock. Consider an abstract symbol to convey a progressive approach – abstracts are a great choice for high-tech companies. Or maybe you simply want an object that represents the product or service you’re selling. Be clever, if you can, but not at the expense of being clear.2. Avoid too much detail: Simple logos are recognised faster than complex ones. Strong lines and letters show up better than thin ones, and clean, simple logos reduce and enlarge much better than complicated ones.But although your logo should be simple, it shouldn’t be simplistic.

Good logos feature something unexpected or unique without being overdrawn. Look at the pros: McDonald’s, Nike, Prudential. Notice how their logos are simple yet compelling. Anyone who’s traveled by a McDonald’s with a hungry 4-year-old knows the power of a clean logo symbol.3. Your logo should work well in black and white (one-color printing): If it doesn’t look good in black and white, it won’t look good it any color. Also keep in mind that printing costs for four-color logos are often greater than that for one- or two-color jobs).4. Make sure your logo’s scalable: It should be aesthetically pleasing in both small and large sizes, in a variety of mediums. A good rule of thumb is the “business card/billboard rule”: Your logo should look good on both.5. Your logo should be artistically balanced: The best way to explain this is that your logo should seem “balanced” to the eye – no one part should overpower the rest. Just as a painting would look odd if all the color and details were segregated in one corner, so do asymmetric logos. Color, line density and shape all affect a logo’s balance.Many logo gurus insist your logo should be designed to last for up to 10 or 15 years. But I’ve yet to meet a clairvoyant when it comes to design trends.

The best way to ensure logo longevity, in addition to the rules I’ve listed above, is to make sure you love your logo. Don’t ever settle for something half-baked.And once you commit to your logo design, be sure you have it in all three of these essential file formats: EPS for printing, JPG and GIF for your website.

Essentially, these file conversions render your logo as a single piece of art-so it’s no longer a symbol with a typeface. Which brings us to the most important rule in logo design…Never, ever re-draw or alter your logo! If you want to animate it for your website, fine. But don’t change its essence. Reduce and enlarge it proportionally. And if you become tired of your logo, that’s good. Because that’s usually about the time it’s starting to make an impression on everyone else!

Joining Soweto Positive Speakers Club

 Since I have joined Soweto Positive Speakers – Toastmasters International Club my confidence and public speaking level has risen to the top. It is not only by making speeches themselves, but by learning through observation when other club members make speeches. It is great to see people who are not confident with making presentation do it. People who have fears to walk past a crowd and feel like opening the ground and hide themselves inside it so as not to be seen. These shy club members make powerful speeches even if they are scared.

One learns that he was not alone and if someone can deliver an interesting speech in his / her fearful state, then with courage to conquer a speech can be delivered by all of us. If we can challenge our unknown fears slowly but surely our confidence level will reach the stars. Soweto Soweto Positive Speakers – Toastmasters International Club has offered me a non-professional platform to develop myself as a speaker. Since joining Positive speakers, I am now able to speak with strangers confidently.

Networking becomes a second nature as I am dealing with striking a conversation with people who are not in my comfort zone. I now accept invitations and offers to attend any meeting without any unknown fear(s). It is through participating in club meetings and roles that I am becoming confident in speaking publicly. Activities inside manuals that we get from Toastmasters International play a key role in my development.

As a member of Soweto Positive Speakers – Toastmasters International Club I get to be evaluated in every speech that I make. Club members offer their positive criticism that builds me to being a better speaker. Feedback from club members will tell you where your level of speaking is. You get evaluated on the

 relevance of your speech, pace of your voice, hand and body movement and grammar. During the meeting your evaluation will be read out to you and the club members. This evaluation will help you and other club members. I am always looking forward to attend the next meeting.

It is exciting to be with a group of people who do what they love and committed in what they do. Positive Speakers club members are exciting people to be with as you always hear inspiring and humorous speeches and you can always take one or two points and apply them in your live. Come and be inspired or inspire others with your words of wisdom. Joining Soweto Positive Speakers – Toastmasters International Club was the best thing that I have ever done and I plan to stay here for as long as I live.

I highly recommend Soweto Positive Speakers – Toastmasters International Club to you, your friends and family members. Soweto Positive Speakers – Toastmasters International Club is interested in accepting members from all walks of life and any age.
