I May Get In $%!^ For This But I just Had To Share This With You...
Group: PROSPECTING CLUBWARNING: This one is long so have some time or print it to read when you do.
My intention was to make a video for you guys showing you how to story board your content and how to use a simple Search Engine Optimization Method that has help me automate so much of my online prospecting.... But, I stop by me email first (forgive me :-D) and I was just blown away about what I read and I wanted to share this with you.
So What Is It?
It's an email from a guy you may have heard of Name Mike Klingler. Just in case you don't know who he is, he's the founder of the Renegade University, which is an Internet based training center for attraction marketing specifically for the home based business owner.
Why Am I Sharing This With You?
There has been many conflicting views and opinions on what the best lead generation system on the market. The conversations are good and necessary (as they have also inspired this article) but also confusing. The problem is you may not have a clue on what a good lead generation system is suppose to look like.
So, I'm seeing the ease of set up, how much money you can "potentially" make and the the amount of programs you can promote in as the primary criteria on weather a system is good or not.
Most of the time you're comparing apples and oranges thinking they are all the same.
If you already are a lead generation system owner or promoter and the leads are overwhelming you with emails and phone calls then you can tell just having a system is not enough. The only way that system will have any value is if you can effectively drive targeted traffic and consistently convert them.
The system creators can tweak and split test and perfect the landing pages and back end offers all they want but if you, the system user, aren't the gateway new customers are finding those capture pages then you have nothing.
So What Separates The Wheat From The Chaff?
The leader in front of the system. For the system creator like Mike Klingler that would be him... and for the system user that would be YOU!!
Why?
Because its the only variable factor. You are the only thing that made Jonathan Budd sold (and still sells) WAY more blackbelt recruiting books than you. It's the reason Ferny Ceballos and Ray Fong have been here only a year and are now Instructors on BetterNetworker.
And It's because of who Mike Klingler is and what he personally brings to the table in the form of solid marketing education that I choose to use his products to generate an additional residual Income stream.
This Is Not About Tooting His Horns Brown Nosing...
He creates content that speaks from his heart. That's why I open all his emails, read all his articles and sign up for everything he offers. I know he has my best interest in mind every time.
That's the example I want to share with you because you must be that person to your prospects. You follow the lead generation system that is behind the type person you want to emulate...
Without Any More Rambling, Here's The Email:
******************************************
Don't just read this email. Study it. Why? Because the easiest way to succeed in business comes by being thorough. Think about that. Think of successful people you know. They are thorough in the way they study, plan and apply what they learn... it shines through in the way they communicate.
Maybe You Thought They Were 'Just' Smart?
Yah, some of the highly successful people ARE very smart... but many of them got that way by being thorough first. Have you noticed some successful people who aren't all that smart? You'll notice they can attribute their success to being thorough as well. They all have it in common. Being thorough is what makes people smart enough to actually make money at something.
Are You Being Thorough in How You Approach Your Business?
It's an illusion to 'buy into the idea' that you'll find a faster way to success by thinking and planning less. If you agree with that statement, pass it on because that illusion is costing the masses their dreams, and it's often costing them a fortune as they go year-after-year, in and out of trying to build an illusion they call a "business."
Be Engaged. Get Focused. Get Serious!
Now for the updates, news and training...
As you may know we're going to be launching a new educational resource called "Mxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx" to further assist you to grow your business with social networking (the "no" and "low cost" way of building a list and attracting leads).
Renegade University will continue to be upgraded and improved, but there are at least 7 more educational 'doorways' and systems we'll be releasing to you soon, each focusing on different areas of business development.
This will allow you to attract different 'kinds' of prospects who are looking to start or grow a business of their own from home. The different 'doorway' pages will allow you to target a number of different audiences, and each will provide uniquely separate educational products and funded sponsoring proposal solutions. We'll also be adding the feature of being able to place your own video on the capture pages (plus more branding options).
Mxxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx will be released next, planned for early December. Click to fill out this short form if you'd like to be among the first notified when this training area is available.
*Note that any leads you may have already referred to Renegade University will remain on YOUR list even if they fill out this Mxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx notification form.
What Will Mxxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx Do For You?
Mxxxxxx Sxxxx xxxx will assist you to optimize the leads you've already generated using any Magnetic Sponsoring resources (Building on a Budget, Magnetic Sponsoring, Black Belt Recruiting, etc).
If you haven't generated leads related to Magnetic Sponsoring yet, but you want to diversify into this additional 'target market' we'll be helping you do just that.
This is also going to help you increase sales, and give you even more value to provide to your list specific to their needs. We teach you how in the upcoming training at Mxxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx.
"Better Networker" -- A Powerful Social Networking Site...
Mxxxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx will also assist you and your team by providing more specialized training for those of you using the social networking site, Better Networker to generate more leads and attract better business relationships to you.
I love to teach how to properly use social networking sites like Better Networker to build a business. Better Networker is a phenomenal site for attracting quality business relationships because it consists mostly of networkers who practice 'attraction marketing value-based' principles.
We will continue to provide the more in-depth training at "Professional" to teach the proper mindset, practice and strategies that 'generate leads' through free and low-cost social networking sites.
More About The 'Better Networker' Social Site...
People at 'Better Networker' are Literally Asking for a Good Upline to Sponsor Them!
I see new people emerge at Better Networker often who are openly shopping for an upline.
In Mxxxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx and the Professional training area, we're going to be teaching you and your team how to be the upline they're looking for.
To prepare you for the Mxxxxxx Sxxxx-xxxx introductory training, I'd like you to start by setting up your profile at Better Networker today. This way you'll be more ready to take advantage of the strategies we're sharing next.
How to Quickly Set Up Your Profile at Better Networker:
1. Click to go to Better Networker
2. Find the "Green Button" at the Top of that Page
3. Fill Out the Simple Form
* If you have any trouble with the part of the form that says, "Are you a robot? Fill out the code above..." just try it a few times, a few different ways. If you need help contact support@marketingmerge.com
Better Networker can absolutely explode your business. That's not overstated IF you apply what we're teaching you. I generated hundreds of leads there when I launched Renegade University last year. Didi and many others I've worked with continue to pull leads every week out of there, quite easily.
It works.
I'll show you exactly how we do it.
In addition, one of the top topics of the training at Mxxxxxxx Sxxxxx-xxxx will be "How to get people to find your lead capture pages" if you're already using a lead system. We'll be giving thorough in-depth training on how to do the stuff most people try to avoid, but that's absolutely necessary to rise up as a success in a home-based business in today's era of the Internet.
Here's an article that discusses this in more details, called,
"Lead Systems Are Worthless If You Can't Get People To Them."
We're fully committed to assisting you and your team long-term, which is the kind of commitment it takes on both sides to break through the challenges and succeed in your business once and for all, for good.
End the Struggle...
I know what it feels like to struggle. The best phrase to sum it up if you're in my age group (I'm 36 so I'm Gen X) is to say... "it SUCKS big-time" to continue to fail at business. Others may describe it as simply discouraging... but that's an understatement. I had success early in my networking career, but it took me years of struggle before I reached a level of success I was comfortable with. I struggled to pay the bills and to hang onto my dreams early on. Back then, in the 90's, I had to invest nearly everything I made to keep enough leads coming in and pay the phone bill. That's of course no longer the type of challenge you have to face. But I know what it feels like to be embarrassed to tell friends and family 'you're still doing that thing.'
Now there's a new and better way to make 'IT' happen if you're willing to be thorough.
Get More Serious. Focus. Read and Study. Apply What You Learn.
I hope you take the time to follow through and review the article and steps I've given you today.
Yes, that might take the same focus and effort as reading a full chapter in a book. That's what it means to be thorough (read, study, and then apply what you have learned). Regardless of what anyone tells you, you have to be "smart" or get smart to succeed in a business. It's B.S. to tell you anything different.
If you don't feel smart, there IS a solution. Study. Do the work. Be thorough. Being thorough will make you smart even if you feel your IQ is substandard. It's actually the easiest path to take even if, in the moment, it feels more difficult.
Isn't that what every mature adult has to learn about all things that are important in life (health, relationships... and now... business). A higher level of commitment may be all that's missing (in the area of your focus).
Treat the business development process much like you would if you were attending a University. Take it seriously long-term. This is what it REALLY takes. Any other approach will cost you lot of money, precious time... and maybe even your dreams altogether. It's too important so do this right.
Pass THAT on! Let's clean up this home based industry!
Until next time,
Mike Klingler
P.S. Read the articles I've linked to. Get a profile set up. Be engaged so you can engage others.

Thank You for Passing it Forward
Hi Malika,
Thank your for passing Mike Klingler's email forward to the rest of the BetterNetworker community. You'll find he also blogged this similar message at Mike's BetterNetworker blog (one of the many lessons he teaches his students is how to leverage each "marketing piece" for your audience(s)).
Get in trouble for sharing this? ...hardly ...I want to give you a pat on the back for sharing this message.
I really like what YOU said, when you wrote,
"...The leader in front of the system. For the system creator like Mike Klingler that would be him... and for the system user that would be YOU!!
Why?
Because its the only variable factor. You are the only thing that made Jonathan Budd sold (and still sells) WAY more blackbelt recruiting books than you. It's the reason Ferny Ceballos and Ray Fong have been here only a year and are now Instructors on BetterNetworker..."
And I think the point is this...No matter what lead generating system people are using, no matter what internet marketing training program one is following, it comes down to taking personal ownership, and actively participating in your own success.
It's clear that this is what you've done (it's what you do). It's also the reason why when I first arrived here at BetterNetworker I looked you up and sought after your advice.
So...no Malika, you're not going to be in any trouble...keep sharing. Thanks for passing on this information.

It Looks More Like A Pitch To Me
To be honest Malika a link laden article advertising recessionproofincome isn't really suitable for the forum.
Especially in a group where we are dedicated to training people how not to spam the forums.
Susan may dissagree with me, but that is my opinion.
All the best,
Dean.
Stop Clicking and Just Read It
LOL, No offense @Dean
I had to replace the links with something...they weren't mine to repost and as I noted, they were replaced. The point wasn't to make people click on anything. I and yes I could have made them link to nowhere but what's the point of that? Susan could delete it if she agrees with you. And as I said from the headline... I may get in trouble. So is it that you think my points weren't valid or is it just the links that rubbed you the wrong way?
I'll just move it to my blog, it's all good with me :-D

It was for a different purpose
@ Eric,
Thank you for your kind words! Alls I know is Mike's content Isn't really mine to repost and I don't know how that is handled since I didn't ask permission. I know Mike sent the email and made the blog post for his own purposes but me reposting wasn't for the same purpose...
For me it was to show an example of what really attracts leads to a system and to give concrete evidence that it is and can be done by all.
It's about heart, being authentic and caring about others peoples success. If your system teaches you how to covey that to your target audience then you've got a winner!
I sell the University as part of a system not a system in and of it self. So even before a potential prospect get to the "system page" they have already been presold by content (video, article etc.) created in the spirit that Mike educates everyone on.

Whatever Your Purpose, It's All Good (From My Perspective)
You know Malika, it doesn't really matter what your purpose was, and you don't need to be apologetic for posting something you believe in - even if all the links go to your capture page. Leaders aren't generally apologetic unless they've done something wrong, and they don't ask permission. So lets just defuse that bomb.
On another note, what Mike is teaching his students (as your aware) is attraction marketing - I wouldn't necessarilly call it a system. It's a means to grow your business; grow your name; build your list and make money with affiliate commissions on the front end. It's textbook attraction marketing as espoused in texts like Magnetic Sponsoring and The Renegade Network Marketer.
But more than anything, it comes down to -- perhaps the one thing we agree on here (lol) -- which is "heart, being authentic and caring about others peoples success." Mike teaches his students how to do that.

If It's A Link I Click (or at least hover).
What can I say - I am a compulsive clicker.
I probably wouldn't have commented had you not headed the post "I May Get In $%!^ For This But..."
Nor am I saying there isn't lessons to be learnt in the content.
I was writing more of an explanation but I decided to make it another post rather than hijack your intent on this one.
Dean
I liked it
Hi Malika,
I liked it, I am actually a member, though shame on me I have been way busy trying get my office set up, and winterizing my house. I have had foot of snow since the week before xmas and I am almost ready to dive in and not come up for air. I've got the concept of attraction marketing, now I just need the nuts and bolts of it all. You can't pitch what is already here for our use. Mentoring for free and Magnetic Marketing are all over this site in varing ways I just thought it was part of the site. :)
Oops
Sorry that last post got sent out twice.
Well, I'm kinda new here and
Well, I'm kinda new here and so perhaps I don't know all the rules and am learning myself and perhaps am speaking out of line, but I'm with Dean on this. I understand that you didn't have permission to repost and you weren't sure what to do with the links, but one solution would have been to simply unlink them. You also put your link in before the repost.
I'm also a clicker and will click to see what others are up to, and as you know, with cookies in computers, in many cases it logs in our emails.
I'm also a renegade user and yeah, I think on the blog is more appropriate, but then again, I'm still learning protocol. I did an article not too long ago about Renegade and within 10 minutes, Mike Klingler was helping me to alter it because it looked too much like I was promoting.
I enjoy your content though Malika.
Getting the help
well I am glad you are getting the help you need. Be carefull on sounding like every one else or being to salesy, Wet their whistle, make them curios seems to work the best, Full out promotions seems to drive people away. Almost an oxymoron, when you think about it, because most people are using the Internet to share and find info.
