You know have you ever been in network marketing before? Many of you have no doubt. Well, perhaps you will relate to my story.

Before I tell my story my name is Jonathon I am a business marketing consultant. I have been associated with network marketing for 7 years now. I have seen many companies come & go.

Many had many different marketing plans some of which were great as well as some that were not quite as good.

There is a lot of confusion out there as to how to be successful at network marketing. Some of it works & some of it does not.

When I first started in my business do you relate to this?

Go to meetings, recruit, recruit, recruit, harass your family, friends, and anyone who breathes on two legs is a prospect, if you’re not talking you’re not selling, put on meetings in your home. Do any of these things sound familiar to you?….

I did many of these things that were mentioned. We got a few people signed up; however, we could have done better. How about you? Did these ways of doing your business work for you?

The problem with this old business model is it just doesn’t work anymore. It is outdated & is totally ineffective.

The other problem is when new people get started in this industry many of them do not have what it takes; they do not have the intentions of becoming the professional they need to be.

They also are not aware what it takes to succeed in the business world and are not prepared for that kind of information.

What other problem is there in this industry? The other problem is the focus is in the wrong place. Many network marketing companies seem to be focused on the product or the compensation plan.

Is this really going to prove to be an effective way to bring new people in the business as a whole? The is no’.

People don’t care about that. Great products are dime a dozen and so are business opportunities. It is great salesmanship and great marketing, that is lacking.

Nothing Else In Business Matters If Good Sales & Marketing Are Not Being Used

When I shifted my focus from product to sales & marketing everything changed. Things will really start to really click and shift your business into overdrive.

The wealthiest people in the network marketing field have all got this one thing in common.

They know how to sell. Themselves. Their product…Their ideas….their services.

There is a problem that can’t be ignored…

I have discovered there are great deal of lies and falsehoods, myths, misconceptions out there that are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

As I mentioned at the beginning. Selling has become a dirty word in network marketing . This is because it has as many misconceptions as how network marketing is done. This is why it is also usually ineffective.

What do you think good selling is? Selling is the exchange of goods or services where money exchanges hands. What is wrong with the old model? Well, often times it is too confrontational.

The other reason for this is it oftentimes ignores the prospect true wants or needs. What other problems do you think it creates?

The next problem is you are forcing a product on the prospect whether they like it or not, and this inevitably is going to result in resistance every step of the process. Then some may also approach it like an argument.

Who usually wins an argument? No one! This is not good sales!

Some network marketers believe that rejection is normal & should be accepted. Here are some questions for you to think about….Do you really believe this to be true?

What if rejection wasn’t even a factor? What about marketing? What if marketing is combined with sales? What is marketing anyway?…There is a lot of confusion about what it is and how it is to be done.

I’m sure you have heard the saying before “no one likes to be sold but everyone loves to buy” I am sure like most people you have never been given a logical meaning of what that really meant.

Well the difference lies in whose decision it is…

When You Are Trying To Sell Something To Someone It Is Your Decision Forced On Them. When Someone Wants To Buy Something IT Is Their Decision.

So if everyone loves to buy, which the key to making your job easier (and more profitable), doesn’t it make sense to focus on helping people buy what they want then trying to sell them stuff that they don’t?

This is exactly what marketing is. I like to think of marketing as creating a situation where they can buy on their own. Good marketing is about tapping into needs that already exist.

If you’re not doing that nothing else matters…

So that may prompt you to ask another question…So the next question is..what is an effective way to market a business?

Your own marketing system. Your marketing system can plant seeds (your prospects) for you. Then what’s next? Then you use one- to-one sales to close them.

That way you get more done in less time with less effort. To piece it all together to complete the puzzle. The objective of your marketing is to bring in qualified prospects.

The main goal of the sales process is to close the deal & build a relationship with the best ones.

After all that is the master plan that every network marketer should have whether they realize it or not.

Sales letters are often used in internet marketing business especially when you are promoting your products. However, most people resort to article writing instead of sales letters because it’s the articles that get more frequently used in other people’s websites, therefore building one’s traffic by plugging it into other people’s traffic.

Still, a sales letter comes in handy for those who you have already filtered out of your general list as those who are interested and capable of buying what you have to offer. When you pitch in your sales letter, here are some of the statements they must find in your sales letter so that it will be a sure hit.

I have a wonderful product

This is the first thing your sales letter must have. You must have something to sell. If you do not have anything to sell your prospect, then your sales letter will be all fluff and you will not derive anything from it. Make it clear to your prospect which products are you selling and promote them accordingly.

It’s the best product

A product with no competition from the outside market is not a hot item. If you are really after the big bucks, you are most likely selling something that other people are also selling. When you have your competition at bay, your sales letter must communicate to its reader that it’s the best. And do not just state that, but back it up with ample proof to support your claim.

You really need this product

Creating a need is the thrust of any marketing business, whether online or offline. If you are able to convince your readers through your sales letter that the product is important, bringing utmost benefits, reasonably priced and the best among its kind, you will be able to expect more sales pouring in your business in less time.

You will not regret trying it and we have a guarantee if you do.

The money-back guarantee, discounts and warranty all serve to placate any anxious prospect. A good sales letter communicates that your product is something that is of high quality and will not be something that they will regret buying. Just make sure that as you do this, you get to deliver what you promise.

It is best if you buy as soon as you possibly can.

The urgency is what rakes in the sales in the sales letter. An effective sales letters knows how to properly assert the time element. Some good sales letters fail to apply this, and they end up losing their prospects because they do not feel the urgent need to click the buy button and put it into their shopping cart after reading the sales pitch.

A sales letter is different from the article in the sense that it is focused on your own products. Articles may be a good partner to your sales letters, and if you will be able to use them as part of your marketing arsenal, it will be so much the better.

Question: I’ve been charged with buying my company’s first pop-up exhibit. What are some of the key things I need to know about pop-ups and vendor selection before I make my first purchase?

Answer: Simply by asking questions, you’ve already taken the first step toward a successful purchase. You’d be surprised how many people merely Google™ “pop-up display,” compare prices, and place an online order — knowing little or nothing about the quality of the materials, graphics, and services they’re purchasing and often even less about the vendor. When it comes to selecting a popup display, the old adage rings true: “You get what you pay for.” Pop-up prices vary dramatically, depending mostly on the quality of the materials and service provided. While a low price option may be exactly what you need, you’ll want to make a sound, informed decision. Tradetec Skyline Chicago’s motto is “anyone can sell you a pop up display’’ their consultative approach is to provide valuable insight for you to consider before you make your first purchase.

Frame Quality
Most pop-up frames comprise two main components: rods or tubes, and connectors (sometimes called hubs), which connect the rods or tubes. The materials used to make these components impact the quality of your booth. Lower-priced pop-ups are almost always made of aluminum tubes that are riveted to a hub. While aluminum is lightweight, it has its drawbacks. If the frame is bent during use, it can become unbalanced, which not only makes for an unstable and sometimes unsightly exhibit, but can also throw your graphics out of alignment. Tradetec Skyline Chicago’s high-end Mirage pop-ups are made of Fiberglass or carbon-fiber rods. These materials also are lightweight, but they are almost indestructible and do not bend permanently. Hub quality also varies greatly. Skyline’s hubs are made of plastic and engineered to release upon impact instead of breaking. So if a rod comes undone, it can simply be reinserted on the fly. The same is not true with riveted hubs. The only remedy for a broken rivet is to send the frame back to the supplier for repair or replacement. If a rivet breaks at the show, you may end up with misaligned graphics or, worse yet, your damaged frame may be rendered entirely useless, leaving you without an exhibit altogether.

Graphics
While your frame is your exhibit’s backbone, your graphics are the face of not only your exhibit, but also your company and brand. So selecting appropriate graphics is critical. There are many things to consider when purchasing graphics — including everything from image and text selection to lighting, color matching, materials, file formats, file sizes, fonts, and so on. However, as a new exhibitor, you don’t need to be a graphics expert. Rather, you need to find a vendor with the knowledge and willingness to help you make the right decisions — one with which you can develop a long-term relationship that extends beyond your first purchase and through your program’s growth and changes.

Graphics vendors typically fall into one of these four groups: 1) exhibit or graphics suppliers that sell only fabric panels rather than large-format graphics, 2) exhibit suppliers that outsource graphics production and resell them to clients, 3) exhibit vendors that produce multiple types of graphics in-house, and 4) graphics suppliers that sell only graphics, rather than entire exhibits. While you may need only a fabric panel supplier, most new exhibitors want a graphics/exhibit vendor with a wide range of knowledge and a consultative approach to client communication. For example, Tradetec Skyline is willing and able to talk to you about the pros and cons of fabric graphics vs. laminated options, as well as the problems associated with inkjet, Lambda, paper substrate choices, and so on. And when it comes to graphics formats, file types,and sizes, you need a supplier that not only knows its stuff, but that can communicate requirements in a language even Elmo could understand.

As a new exhibitor, ask a lot of these types of basic graphics questions before you sign on the dotted line.

The vendor’s willingness to answer your questions and the thoroughness of the answers provided will clue you in to the service you can expect down the road. If the vendor becomes impatient before you’ve made a purchase, imagine the service you’ll get after it has pocketed your cash.

Warranties
As you may have guessed, a $700 pop-up doesn’t carry the same warranty as a $5,000 pop-up. While your needs may not necessitate a lengthy warranty, you need to understand your options before you buy. Warranty packages usually cover the frame and graphics separately and range from guaranteeing nothing at all to covering some parts and materials for a lifetime. Prior to purchasing the exhibit, ask the vendor to explain all of their warranty options, and ask for a detailed list of what materials and components the warranty covers. Tradetec Skyline’s Mirage pop-up display hardware is covered under a lifetime warranty.

Some vendors sell strictly pop-up exhibits, while others offer a variety of these add-ons to complement your display. Before you make your purchase, think about all possible uses for your pop-up, and ask what add-ons your vendor can supply to support these needs. Then see how the cost of these add-ons compares to other vendors.

Vendor History
Many vendors sell pop-up displays; however, much like their products, many companies pop up today and are gone tomorrow — often leaving you with a questionable warranty and no means of service. Prior to purchase, be sure to investigate the vendor’s history in terms of not only the number of years it has been in business but also how long it has maintained its clients — a factor that will provide valuable insight into the level of service it provides over the long haul.
