Webinars do you get on them?  Do you make sure that you listen to the Corporate Webinar every week.  Do you make sure your team does the same?  Why you ask? For one reason, remember this is a business based on duplicability, and what better way to make sure you are saying and doing the right things, than to hear them from the Founders and Leaders themselves on a constant and regular basis.  Another reason is everyone needs to keep connected!  In a business where it is so easy to get secluded and feeling all alone, we must plug in every chance we get, (this is called Network Marketing for a reason,)  and stay moving in forward action.  Training is another major reason to make sure you are not missing these calls.  Team calls provide specific information and are geared towards each team’s players and goals, if you are not attending these calls you are missing a big part of your team participation!  So if you are not already attending these events here are a few suggestions to help make sure you get yourself moving forward, remember progress not perfection.  After all aren’t we all trying to fail our way to the top?

1)      Write down a weekly schedule of all calls you may want to attend.

2)      Put them in your calendar

3)      Set up remimders in your calendars with alarms.

4)       Set up a follow up call with team members to discuss the calls, keeps everyone participating.

Remember this is one of the most basic and fundamental ways to start getting yourself moving in the right direction.

What do you do to keep plugged into you company?  I would love to know…

The Holidays are officially here.  Have you already slowed down in what you are doing to drive your business?  Have you been thinking to yourself, “it’s the end of the year”, “everyone slows down,”” what’s the big deal, I deserve a break too?”  This is Network Marketing, that means networking, and what better time to do that then during the holidays.  The holidays, a 3 week period of time when most people go out to more parties, visit and see more family, and generally socialize more than the whole rest of the year.  So instead of slowing down over the next few weeks, here are some pointers as to how to work your business while enjoying all of these various events.

First of all, remember everyone is there to have fun, whether a party, a family get together, or a group of friends celebrating.  If you are at a party, DON’T go up to someone, and start pitching your opportunity.  Instead, ask them what their New Year’s Resolution is going to be, it is a great ice breaker, and will present you with some wonderful information about the person right away.  Listen carefully to their responses.  Peoples resolutions are usually problems they are trying to fix, listen to what they say carefully (if you can make notes after the conversation), you just may have the solution, once again, DON’T pitch the opportunity, share contact information, and follow up after the party.

Are you giving gifts this holiday season? Seeing the whole family?  Why not give your product as gifts?  Or perhaps your company’s branded merchandise? (Just make sure that your companies merchandise is quality, I can only speak for my own company’s lines which are top notch. Below is an example of our New Branded Sustainable Kor Bottles.)  Not only are you introducing  your product to someone new to try, but your gift is tax deductible too!

If you are working an internet business also, don’t forget to keep putting stuff out there on the net as well.  The web doesn’t know that it’s the holiday’s, and with a lot of people slowing down, now is a great time to get your content out there and seen.  Keep up the Blogging, the Social Networking, make sure your Tweets have value, interact, participate in groups, make sure to be more social online as well as off for the holidays.

Remember all of the work that you do now, while others are “slowing down” will be what pays off for you during the first few months of the New Year.  We are the lucky ones, this time of the year is our time of the year.  Have fun, Happy Holidays, Good Health, and a very Happy New Year!!  And of course, remember NEVER BLAST ALONE!!

We here at Never Blast Alone love to hear from you, so starting this week we are going to post a question of the week and hopefully hear from all of you.  This week’s question: What do you think is the best way you expose your opportunity?

In the meantime, we would like you to think about the following things as you work on growing your business this week.  One, are you consistently presenting people with your product or opportunity?  You are not furthering your business if you are not connecting with people.  This is true whether you are building your business online, or offline.  This is network marketing; you must go out and NETWORK!  Every day, presents you with opportunities are you grabbing them, or are you running the other way?  Keeping this in mind, we want to share a great tip we heard from Tom “BiG Al” Schrieter during a training call this week.  He said people simply react to what we say and do, so what we must learn to do is change someone’s mindset, to open up their minds to listen to our opportunity.  “Big Al” then gave us 4 simple words to use if you want to get someone’s attention, words that actually make someone stop and listen to what you are about to say, and those words are “I just found out.”  Examples of this would be “I just found out how we can earn an extra paycheck each week” or “I just found out how we can fire our boss”.  What these statements do is make a person want to hear more, and they thus have their defenses down, and you will be faced with far less rejection.  To hear more of “Big Al’s” training, and words from 5 of our Yoli Founders listen to the whole Dream Team webinar here.

Have a great week, keep Yoli’ing, and remember NEVER BLAST ALONE!!
