Personal Note:

I want to open with a huge Thank You to the folks at Usborne Books Canada for inviting me to speak at your convention. What a treat you were! Thank you. I’m excited that I’m going to get to work with so many of you in our upcoming Savvy Sponsoring programs. Given what happened at the convention, I expect the energy to be like a ball of fire!

No need to feel left out. We have lots of things lined up for everyone in February and March. Don’t miss our complimentary teleclasses that are coming up this month. Are you happy with the results of your efforts? Or does the year feel like it is already slipping away? These teleclasses are made for you.

In typical “not so warm and fuzzy Jillian style,” I’ll put out there during these teleclasses what we know works. We don’t think it works here at Savvy, it’s proven. I used these tools to build two financially successful network marketing businesses and have been coaching others to do the same for years. And you cannot beat the price – no charge to you.

Why is now so important? Timing. It is perfect. Why? Because when the economy goes south, people look for things to bring financial relief, more control over their lives and recover their peace of mind...

How do you answer these questions?

Can you confidently present your business to anyone so they can see how?

It will work to bring them economic relief.
They can regain control in difficult times.
They can experience the benefits of peace of mind once more?

If you hesitated in your answer, don’t miss our complimentary calls in February. Plus check out the details of our Six Month Savvy Sponsoring program. If there was ever a time to “Build Your Business Big” it’s now. Register here for the free calls.

Featured Article:

Are You Hurting Your Business?

A neighbor of ours owns high end seafood restaurants that have been successful here in the northeast for a long time. It started as a Boston fish market, expanded over the years and recently opened in the south. He was talking about how difficult it was to make sure that every restaurant turned out each dish in exactly the same way. So people going into a restaurant at the airport got the same wonderful service and food that you got in downtown Boston or Atlanta, GA.

He went on to say how necessary it was to implement a system to drive the processes in the kitchen. Then have a way to measure the success of those systems long before the customer starts to complain! Sound familiar? It should!

Every business has the same issues. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the restaurant business, the dry cleaners business or you are a network marketer building a distribution center. If you want it to be a financial success your business needs:

A system to drive it so processes are done the same way regardless of who is doing it.
A method of measurement to make sure that the system is doing the job it should be doing.
Regular systematic communication with all the players to keep your hand on the pulse of what is going on with the people inside your business.

Do YOU?

Do you have a system in place that drives your business? Is everyone you sponsor (or your downline sponsors) trained the same way? They should be if they are going to work with the general public as an independent representative of your company. Yes, everyone.

Why would you turn someone loose to talk to people (even if they are only going to do one home event a month) unless you know they can do a great job? They are out there representing your company and the network marketing industry at large. Hostesses either love them because their party was successful or they don’t. People in the room enjoyed themselves and bought product, looked at the business or they don’t. Regardless, they are going to tell people about their experience. Unfortunately, they are most likely going to tell more people about a bad experience than they are about a good experience. People hate having their time wasted!

Do you have a way to measure the results of your activity? Or do you just keep on doing things hoping they are going to work? (Hope is a great thing but it is not a good strategy!) Plus, how sane is it to keep doing the same things over and over again ‘hoping’ to get different results? Hmmmm? If things aren’t working, how do you strategically implement change(s) into your downline?

What kind of communication/training/coaching is in place that your team can count on regularly? Are you limiting your business by trying to talk to every person individually? Or do you have (as they say here in Boston) a “wicked good” team MasterMind coaching call?

Want Some Help?

Want some help in setting these things up? Click here to register for our upcoming no charge to you teleclasses. There are three teleclasses in the series. Don’t miss any of them.

There are 11 months left in 2009. You can either whine or you can shine. (I know sorry, it is a bit corny but fun – and true!)

Don’t have the time to get your business in order?

And by the way for all of you who are saying, “Well I’d like to get my business that organized, but I don’t have the time.” Bull Manure.

It takes less time to set up a business correctly than it does to run it by the seat of your pants.
It takes less time to work a business that is set up correctly.
With systems in place you can run a large vibrant team in the same amount of time you are flailing around now.
Everyone around you will respect (not necessarily like) what you are doing. (Think about that one for a minute. Kids on board with your time. Your spouse or partner on board. How different would that makes things?)

There are no excuses not to be the best you can be. None!

The Economy is Too Bad

Traditionally network marketing companies do extremely well in hard economic times. Why? People are motivated to make a change. Many have already lost their job or are worried about losing their job. Waiting for the other shoe to drop creates urgency. I urge you to take advantage of this economic downturn to build your business

Are you ready?

Warmly,

Are You Ready?

Did you know that a poor economy is the best time to build your network marketing business? In the last couple of months a number of retired network marketing leaders (think living on their residual income) have called me for coaching. They all say the same thing, “In the last recession my business doubled (or tripled.) I’m going back to work."

Are you ready to take advantage of a recession economy to build your business? Yes! Great. Our next Savvy Sponsoring programs begin in March. These programs are sponsoring and training intensive. They will help you put your business into high gear. People are afraid. People are worried about their jobs, their retirements and the quality of their lives. It is complacency that makes it hard to build a business. If people are happy they stay where they are. But people are not happy. Where do you want them to go? Our upcoming Savvy Sponsoring classes are already filling up. If you have been waiting for these classes register now – seats are limited.

Are you ready for strong community leaders to join your business? How are you finding them? How are you talking to them? How are you going to train them? Is your system in place? Are you ready to duplicate your efforts?

Want to be ready? Don't miss our complimentary teleclasses - register now!
