I set up a site to help people with their business goals. One way to help people with their goals is monetization and another is attraction marketing (attracting potential clients, customers, and associates that are interested in them and what they offer).  Attraction Marketing maximizes the effectiveness of their websites by attracting the attention of search engines as well. Click on this link to visit my site at: Income Solution, to assists Independent Business Owners and Network Marketers.

If you’ve been in the business of Network Marketering for awhile, you know how complicated this field can get sometimes. I’ve been there and back – from failure to success and success to failure – and so I know that some people see their dreams come true in business and some do not.  From experience, I also know what makes people succeed and what does not.

Everywhere you turn, you see ads that promote advice from so-called experts. They offer their expertise as mentors or business coaches. I also know that “Coaches” seem to be “a dime a dozen” on the Internet.  This situation may cause you to wonder if you really need a coach like me for your business. It also begs the question, “If I have an impressive upline, do I still need a coach?”  The answer is “YES!”, if you are serious about succeeding in the field of Network Marketing. The next question is “Who should I hire?”

You should take the time to watch some of my videos to see if the teaching is helpful. If you agree with what I teach, then lets get you started.

I am anxious to work with positive and motivated people. If you have a negative attitude – because life keeps beating up on you – let me help you get that spark back into your life. “Living a life without purpose and vision is like a flower without scent or a honey bee without nectar.” (Quote is from Judith Sherman’s book: The Treasure Box Series, Volume I: Peace, Joy, and Happiness. It’s from the chapter titled: Create a Life with Purpose.)

The question,  ”Can I Sell In These Economic Times?”,  is on the minds of most businesses and Network Marketers. The answer is “YES”! You just need to be more creative and flexible than your competitors or more than you may have been in the past.

Yes, you have to be realistic about the times we live in now.  However, people will always find a way to buy and sale things during hard times. It’s just a matter of applying principles that will improve your marketability.

I listed some suggestions below, shown in bullets, that you can do to improve your sales in difficult economic times.

• As you are a consumer of products and services yourself, what do you look for from a merchant with whom you do business?
  • You want good service when you go to make a purchase.
  • You want good products that you can afford.
  • You want a pleasant attitude from the service/sales person who helps you.
  • You want to make a purchase with as little hassle as possible.
  • You want discounts and special offers as incentives for doing business with that merchant.
  • You want to know the benefits of buying from one merchant over buying from another.
  • You want to be treated special, which builds loyalty.
  • You want to make the choice to buy and not be pushed into it with a hard sale.
  • You want to know that the merchant is solid and will be in business tomorrow, should you need to return something or require his/her service later. For example, when I sold Avon, I had to earn the trust of my potential buyers. I needed to convince them that I was committed to being there for a long time. They had gone through many Avon distributors in the past, who took their orders but never   delivered because they had quit the business. Once they saw me come by every campaign with a book and I made a phone call to them three days later for the order, and once they saw that I always delivered what they ordered, the orders began to come in regularly.
  • You want a guarantee that, if something goes wrong with your purchase, the merchant will stand behind the sale.
• You change your perspective and the way you look at the situation.
  • You have to believe in yourself and try to make a difference in people’s lives.
  • You cannot focus on the amount of sales you make – either you do or you don’t make your quota. Pushing a person to buy will not get you what you want in the end.
  • You can’t be thinking about your bottom line every time you talk to people or they will pick up on it and not buy from you.
  • You need to talk to people on a personal level, meaning you listen to them and then try to give them what they want and not what you want.
• You associate with positive people, even if they are not making sales at the moment.
  • This does not mean that you try to compete with them or become frustrated when they make more sales than you.
  • Associate with people who think like you. They will help keep your mind in an “I can do” attitude instead of “I can’t do it”.
  • Stimulate your brain with good works: television programs that nourish your mind, books that leave you with good feelings, and good, postive music that lifts your soul and excites your spirit or that calms you down so you can rest.
• Learn how to handle stress so you do not become overbearing and demanding with people.
• Get enough rest AND sleep so your body is able to function properly and think clearly.
• Keep your life orderly at home and work so disorganization does not put undue stress on you and the business.
• Keep your body healthy so you function on optimum energy and think clearly and rationally.
  • Establish a regular exercise routine to work off stress and boast your levels of serotonin and dopamine, which gives you a feeling of well-being. Serotonin and dopamine supplements are used to treat depression but the body produces them naturally when you exercise. That’s why you feel good after a work out, even though your body may be a little sore.
  • Take good vitamin supplements that promote good health.
  • Educate yourself on eating a balanced diet, on developing a proper exercise routine, and on the correct supplements to take.
  • Take your perscribed medications regularly. Becoming a work-aholic often causes forgetfulness in taking medication and other important things. . . that’s not very smart!
• Let go, let God. This is probably one of the hardest things to do when so much rides on our ability to make sales.
  • We don’t have to carry our burdens alone.
  • Hard economic times is when we need to turn to God the most, but people don’t want to because they have forgotten Him in times of plenty. But He wants you to trust Him, to depend on Him, to let Him guide your life. Let Him help you carry your burdens.
  • People seem to be embarrassed when they finally accept that they need to let go and let God help them. It’s okay, so what if you are embarrassed. Who should care about it any way, you, the one who needs the help or the business partners?
  • Believe it or not, letting go and letting God is a success principle that you cannot ignore if you want to succeed in life and business.
  • Many, many times I have received answers to my problems because I was tuned in to the spirit of God. His guidance has helped me figure out computer problems, web problems, personal problems, people problems, and problems with how to sell. You can have the same type of assistance, just ask for it.

I conclusion, don’t worry about what you cannot change, influence, or affect. All you can do is your best and then turn the rest over to God. It takes the pressure off from you and the stress that comes with it. I am telling you what I have learned. You can take it or leave it, but there is wisdom in this advice that I got from a friend. When you’ve done all you can and you’ve done your best, what is left? You can worry and stress out, you can put pressure on everyone around you, or you can give it up and let God step in. Just remember that I know this is the answer. I know because I’ve taken years to figure it out so I know that  it works. It’s your choice.

First, let me say that Quixtar/Amway is the example used in this video but it is not the one making the claims. The upline “big shot” is the one making the ridiculous claims.

Hype is commonly used to entice people to join a Network Marketing business, it’s just the nature of the beast, and the presentation of the plan is where hype will usually surface.

Often people make outrageous claims that a product will do something, and yet they have no back up to support their claims. Also, these same people are often known to make claims of huge income to be made in the business with little effort on the part of the distributor. When you hear claims such as these, you can be sure that it is likely hype and a lie. It may be possible to make that sort of money but successful people, who really make that sort of money, don’t have to flaunt it to be believable.

I will be honest with you and say that I am involved with Amway/Quixtar, and that I have been since 1977. I’ve been around the most successful in the Amway/Quixtar business, and so I know for a fact that people really do make that sort of money. I also know that the average distributor does not come close to making that amount of money.  I made $1200 a month for a month or two and then my income dropped to zip!

Because I have been in the Network Marketing business for so long, and because I have seen success and failure myself, I can spot hype in an instant. I know what is and isn’t true because I’ve lived it myself.  That is how I know that true wealth does not have to be talked about unless you are trying to impress someone; in that case, it’s hype whether it’s true for that person or not!  It is obviously hype because not everyone will make that sort of income, even though the presentation and presentor suggests the opposite.

Let me tell you what I know about wealth. “If you lay up treasures on earth that can be washed away in a storm, then you may feel empty when it’s gone or not attained. However, with proper training and the focus is put on creating a life with meaning and purpose, your life will be rich with memories and experiences with others. Yes, money makes those things happen easier but money should never be the focus in order to feel successful or satisfied.

With proper training, like I’ve had along the way, you build character along the way as you increase your income. When you reach a level of success that you work for, your life will feel meaningful and satisfying.

So why do Network Marketing businesses use hype?  To answer this questions, let us first talk about what hype “is” and what it “is not”.

• Hype is not healthy nor an asset in Network Marketing or any business venture.
• Hype is not real, it is a facade, a lie or not quite the truth.
• Hype is used to cover up a sinking ship or holes in the plan.
• Hype is triggered by emotions or by playing on emotions. Impulse buyers make unwise decisions when emotions are high and full of passion. Anyone who is worth a dime in Network Marketing knows this technique and tries to use it for their advantage. Then they get buyers remorse from those they sponsor, people who die on the vine before they ever get started.
• Hype is manifested in people who try to manipulate others. They use a quick-silver tongue to influence people into accepting another way of thinking, or to get them to do what the manipulator wants.

In conclusion, keep your feelers out to sense hype. In time you will become skilled at seeing through the hype and base decisions on the truth instead of a facade. If you need advise on this subject, feel free to send me an email.

What Is A Business Coach?

Small to medium size business owners often use a coach to improve their business in a variety of situations. Network Marketing businesses need a Business Coach as well.

A coach provides guidance, support and positive motivation, and keeps the business owner on target and focused. An upline functions differently than a coach and has a different type of investment in the business; often inspiration and motivation comes from use enthusiasm but sometimes from use of hype.

In our complex society, it is easy to become side-tracked on things without real importance in our business pursuits. A good coach identifies that situation and steers the client back on course. This is a valuable asset for a business owner.

Owning a small business or a Network Marketing home-based business is sometimes difficult. It is often a challenge to stay positive and on target when the business isn’t producing as well as expected. However, a good coach can be a powerful tool in this situation when he or she understands the client’s vision, dreams, aspirations, and commitment level and uses that to motivate the owner and key partners.

To sum it up, a good Business Coach is an invaluable asset for the business in improving sales, marketing strategy, management, team building, and more.

I am Judith Sherman, a Small Business and Network Marketing Coach. With years of experience in the field of MLM and Network Marketing and owning various business ventures (see “About Judith” Tab), I possess a good understanding of success principles and what causes people to succeed or fail. However, and more importantly, I know how to apply these principles. I know what works and what does not because I’ve probably done most of the things that have taught me real-life truths.

It’s true, I have had some business failures – it’s just part of being in business and Network Marketing – so I am familiar with what lies we tell ourselves and the excuses we use to camouflage our fears or keep us from moving out of our comfort zones. Nothing works unless we overcome our fears and do what other people are ubwilling to do to succeed.

My services are FREE for the first five sessions (fees are normally $75/hour). After that, we will evalute your future needs and come up with a fee we can both work with. I want to see you succeed in life and business, and if that means we will have to adjust the fee or the time we spend with each other, then we will do that.

Let me warn you, however, that I do not work like most coaches. My focus is on being successful in life and family as well as business. Also, I do not agree with DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SUCCEED. I believe that we must keep all of the facets of our lives in balance and in alignment with God and the universe in order to succeed in our endeavors. You won’t hear that type of statement come from most consultants or advisers.

Send me an email and tell me what you need and a contact phone number so we can talk. I am anxious to work with you.

My message and the point of this video is that you need to sell yourself, not somebody else that you think has credibility because of their notoriety. It is you they will buy products from and you they will work with as a distributor, so it is you they must accept.

People may want to take advantage of an opportunity but they may not want it from you if you have not sold yourself as a professional and if you do not appear to be a good mentor for them. In other words, your first impression with them needs to be professional, confident, and genuinely interested in them. Once you have their attention, you can sell them on the product or the service you offer.

It doesn’t matter how good the offer is or how good you present it if you come off as arrogant, or you are sloppy and unprofessional, or you are just in it for the bucks. What would you do if someone like this approaches you? You would shy away from them would you not?  In addition, you need to look clean, smell clean, and have clean teeth and breath.

Even if you do most or all of your marketing online, you must come across as professional and intelligent. You cannot get away with using slang and poor grammer or be arrogant by talking down to people.  Speak in simple and understandable phrases and in terms they understand. Listen to them and be genuine in your comments. Do not try to manipulate the conversation or them either because people catch on to that tactic pretty quickly and shut down immediately.

Let videos from people like Scott Rogers, Mike Dillard, and Mike Klingler (or your upline) speak for you as often as you can.  However, as you become proficient in the elements of your business and you can afford it, you should do a video of your own. Also keep in mind that videos speak louder than words.

People who pay attention to the needs and concerns of others are remembered in a better light than those who have taken advantage of them. Be the kind of person you would like to have sponsor you or you would like to do business with in some capacity in the future. If  you have an internet business and people contact you that way, you need to make a good first impression on them with your website or capture page and how professional everything looks – including your videos.  

Now would a good time to admit that my videos are not the best looking either because I am still learning (you have to start somewhere, right?).  The good thing though is that, when you get better at it, you can delete or redo the poorly done videos;  that’s what I am in the process of doing now.

Note: don’t let a non-perfect video or website keep you from doing a webpage, a capture page, or a video.  When we learn to do better then we do better, says Oprah Whinfrey. So start somewhere and do the best you can. You can’t learn to walk if you never take the first step or fall down a few times and get some cuts and bruises. So start out and take those steps. Worry about getting better when you become better at what you do.

I welcome your comments and feedback on this article. I am interested in your thoughts on this subject.

I am using this site as my offical consulting network as a life coach. I will be forwarding my other websites to this one or repost articles from there to this one.

I am NOT a therapist or a licensed consultant. I do NOT have a practice as a therapist. Consultations are based on personal experience and successes with counseling family and friends. I have also had success with counseling people on some of my websites.

My assistance mainly consists of listening to people and helping them come to their own conclusions about what they need to do.  The following people have said the following about their experience with me. 

___________________________________________________________________

Diane said, “JuLynne provides consulting services for home, business, and web. She has a blend of compassion and boldness in her writing”. 

Others said these kind words: 

Doyle said, “It’s as if you wrote the book for me…You have the amazing power to mirror life in general.” 

Carol said, “You’re the only person I’ve found in my entire life who truly understands where I’m coming from.” 

Anne said, “I was able to put things to rest because of what I read in your book.” 

A businessman and writer as well, Terrance Norton gives the following endorsement. “With her infinate love for mankind, she will do and say what she feels is right. I can say with confidence that Judy has tough skin, and yet she has a wonderfully soft heart with compassion oozing out of her towards mankind.”

Terrance continues by saying, “Known to be cheerful when facing trials, Judy looks at adversity and laughs about how she deals with it. For sure, she knows what peace in the middle of chaos means. She doesn’t just talk it, she lives it. She writes about this topic because that is her heart, a mentor to help people in times that seem to have no end. So why would she laugh when most of us will go the ways of our character weaknesses? She laughs because she chooses to focus on the postitive and not the negative. ”
