to Leads are a Vital Element in any Online Business on Google.
Ever walked by the same flower garden day after day, yet never knelt
down to smell not even one single flower? This age old adage still
rings true in so many different aspects. Or how about this one, "Not
being able to see the forest for the trees." Get the picture now?
So how does this all translate into the follow up of leads. Well, you
go out and spend a fortune on buying and/or generating business
opportunity leads. You carefully call each and every one of them,
pouring out your heart and soul in your conviction as to why you have
the best opportunity around. Or you email them your business
opportunity with a finely tuned set of auto responders. Each auto
responder slowly building up to a climatic, stupendous, I can not wait
to sign up into your business opportunity series. Surely, you tell
yourself, I will sign up everyone on my leads list as these emails are
SO GOOD! Who wouldn't sign up?
So why aren't you more successful in your sign ups? What went wrong
you ask yourself? You have purchased every "How To Develop Leads"
E=book on the Internet, all kinds of inspirational tapes, you have
spent a fortune going to every seminar possible in order to gain the
upper edge in these matters. Yet, you end up with nothing but more
credit card debt, and knowing you have lined the pockets of others,
only to find yours empty, just some lint remains.
The truth is no matter the type of business you are involved in, the
REAL follow up is where the determination between the men and the boys
(or should I say the girl and the women) comes to play. May I refer
you back to the flower garden. Answer this question honestly, did you
bend down and smell the flowers? Did you see their beauty and detail?
People like to be treated with integrity and respect. Not just faces
in the crowd. Bring a personal ring to your approach. When you buy, or
develop a lead, take the word "Lead" out and introduce the word
"friend" and treat them accordingly. Begin your approach whether it be
a phone call or email with a personal message. Share yourself with
your new acquaintance. No... you don't have to be too personal...such
as your choice of underwear. You know what I mean. You want to share
yourself as REAL person. That your words convey that you are a friend,
not a money hungry person seeking yet another victim.
Once you have conveyed a personal contact minus any reference to
making money. Follow up with the beginning steps of building a
relationship. Seek their questions, offer any advice you can.
Demonstrate your patients in offering freebies and/or a service that
actually helps your new acquaintance, again without reference to your
business opportunity. Notice I did mention "patients" because the
truth is developing business opportunity leads into friends is going
to be a process.
Continue to follow up with your new acquaintance, keep personal notes,
phone calls and such pouring out. But do it in a timely fashion, not
all at once. Develop fresh new ideas, keep things a new. Bring
creativity into play while keeping the thought of developing this
acquaintance into a possible new friend in mind. You know that this
contact/acquaintance is looking for an opportunity or currently is
involved with business. So never under mind this person, show respect,
as you would wish them to do unto you.
Maybe you have heard all this before in your educational process, but,
are you really empowering yourself by actually doing it or are you
only thinking about it?
Learn to slow down, and smell the flowers, admire their beauty, then,
and only then, will your success rate come to pass. Think about this,
what if one day you noticed the garden was no longer there. Would you
wonder what happened to it? Of course you would. Today isn't too late
to say thanks to the gardener, to appreciate all the hard work
involved. Make their day! You never know, you might just make a new
friend...think of the possibilities this can bring.
Here is to your success,
