How to Deal with People to Get What You Want

People communicate with each other in various ways for a lot of reasons. And one of these reasons is when you need something from someone. For people in business, this can either be in the form of products or services. You may want to sell a product while the other party must find your product useful for his intention. You may want to offer your services while the other party must be satisfied with the services you render according to his needs. In short, the way to get somebody or anybody to do what you want is to make them want to do it.

To get something you want through intimidation or violence is to invite trouble. Yes, it’s possible but not advisable to use forceful methods because the results are undesirable and at times disastrous. Imagine if you force an employee to take a leave of absence for having apparently violated a company rule. The relationship between management and the employee, or perhaps between management and union (if the employee is a member of it), is likely to be severed.

To get what you want, give people what they want. Just what do people want? Physical health, family ties, financial security, spiritual growth, peace of mind, a successful career, and fame are the basic needs of people. There is one important yet intangible thing everybody wants and that is appreciation. Being appreciated and complimented makes a person feel important. When you feel important, you feel needed and wanted, and this gives you a whole lot of reason for existence.

Just how do you give somebody the feeling of importance? Say it, act it; just give it freely, honestly, and wholeheartedly. As literal as it is, saying how appreciative you are for a favor received, makes the other person feel important. You may not be able to describe exactly in words the feeling of importance when you’re in the shoes of the recipient. But definitely, what you can not describe is real and priceless.

Pre-empt importance. Give some sort of sign to the other person that what you want from him, will make him feel important. Let’s take charity for example. A recipient wants or needs contributions from the giver. It can either be material or service contribution, or both. Even before the act itself, the giver somehow expects appreciation from the recipient and this will give him a boost of importance. Appreciation may not necessarily be in words. A smile and/or a pat would suffice and they can come from both giver and recipient. The giver shows his feeling of being appreciated. The recipient shows his feeling of appreciation for the gift. Somehow magic or chemistry takes place. It’s a feeling both parties would enjoy happening many times over.

Are you aware that the feeling of importance, brought about by compliments and appreciation, is good for your health, mentally and physically? Whether you are the giver or recipient, it is good for both. There are medical findings that substantiate health effects brought about by positive emotions like compliments and appreciation. Frequent doses of the feeling of importance activate the brain cells and various harmonies in the body that promote good health. To put it plainly, the feeling of importance is the antioxidant of life.

Can you think of a better way to nourish other people’s feelings than to show your concern and appreciation? Well, you can show something better than appreciation, and that is - a truckload of appreciation.

You know what you and I and everybody else should be doing right now? We should go out there and show our feeling of appreciation to everything and everybody. Let’s go!

Jonathan Budd Interview

Last night I listened to an interview of Jonathan Budd done by Daegan Smith. Actually, I listened to it twice in a row even though it was after 1am.

What the interview was about was "Network Marketing 2.0 Predictions."

Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

The Learning Process:

  • You should spend at least 6 months just learning as much as you can.
  • Look at other people's sites, blogs, squidoo lenses, etc. to get ideas.
  • Test, test, and test some more to see what's working.
What is "Web 2.0?"

Web 2.0 is the social networking/ video communities and the rising social interaction on the Internet.
  • You Tube
  • My Space
  • Facebook
  • Blogging
  • Squidoo
These type of sites allow the readers to interact with the site/ page designers.

  • Stats:
    • My Space has about 215 million people. That's equal to the amount of people in the 6th largest population in the world.
    • You Tube gets close to 1 billion page views per month.
    • Even those who aren't members of You Tube have been there. The reach is huge.
Video Marketing

Video marketing is an awesome tool for:
  • Branding
  • Relationship building
Videos show people who you really are. People will join your business because they like you and what you're about.

This is the key to "attraction marketing."

People Have A Desire For Connection!

Traditional marketing methods are receiving all time low results.

Big businesses are nameless, faceless, and have no real soul. There is no relationship building done by traditional marketing.

People are at a prime position right now where they want "something else."

Focus on the "little things" that people are looking for.

How?
  • Articles
  • Videos
  • Lenses
Blogs, You Tube, My Space, and Squidoo can all be integrated with your site to make your search engine rankings happen naturally and quickly.

The point is this:

Not a lot of people are taking advantage of this form of marketing as of yet. Smart marketers are going to be using these methods to round out 2007 and ring in 2008 with an explosion in their business building.

I know I am, how about you?

Network Marketing, Your Ticket To The Good Life?

Network Marketing, Your Ticket To The Good Life?

You're here because someone introduced you to Network Marketing and now you're trying to figure out what to do, right?

Well, before we start, let me just tell you that you may have just stumbled upon one of the most amazing chapters in your life.

The only reason I say "may have" is because it all depends on you and what you do with the gift you've just been given.

Do you realize that you are now in charge?


You're now the president and CEO of your own company! Do you realize how powerful your position is right now?

And better yet, guess what your job is?


You probably think your job is sales or something to do with it, right? Nope, you're ice cold.

Your job is to help other people become successful because the more success stories you create in your organization, the more successful you'll become.

This, my friends, is what Network Marketing is truly about.


You have a chance right now to build a big business from the comfort of your own home.

Please, don't make the mistake so many others make. Don't treat this like anything other than what it is, a serious business opportunity.

Just because you didn't pay $100,000 to get your business running does not mean that you should treat it with any less respect than you would a "brick and mortar" business.

If you're not yet involved in network marketing...


Perhaps you've been thinking about it because you heard of a great opportunity froma friend or family member. Or maybe you've just heard about the incrdible fortunes that have been made by network marketers. Maybe you've heard that it will be fun. Maybe you're attracted to the opportunity to build a residula income that keeps paying you long after you've "retired."

Whatever the reason, you're in luck because now you can get some tips on choosing the right company for you and make an informed decision.


First of all, the product has to be good.

A good network marketer always leads with the product, not the money making opportunity. There are opportunities all over the internet, it's a great product that makes something special.

So, if the product is junk, you're pretty much had.


How are you supposed to get excited about a product and recommend it to others if you don't believe in it yourself?

Here's how it works.

Think about the last really great movie you saw. Remember how you told all of your friends and family how great it was and urged them to go see it?

Well, this is, in a nutshell, the way network marketing works. We've all been doing it our whole lives we just haven't been getting paid to do it.

Get involved with a network marketing opportunity that is built around a product that you can actually use and enjoy yourself.


If you can be "a product of the product," it can go pretty smooth for you. I'm not saying you won't have to do any work. I'm saying that you'll enjoy it so much more if you have a product that you can share from the heart.

I got into network marketing completely by accident.

I was already doing my thing online as an affiliate marketer but in the direct sales business model.

When I saw the product I now promote, I immediately saw it as a tool for building my existing business as well as an entity of it's own.

It had a use in Internet marketing as well as in everyday communications between friends and family.

Maybe I was wrong, but I jumped right in, head first.


My point is, if something really exciting comes along, don't wait for the "perfect timing" before you commit. The "perfect time" never comes, my friend. You might miss out on the greatest opportunity of your life.

Just go for it! Take your life by the horns and make it what you want it to be.


Network marketing is a possible vehicle to do all of those things you've always wanted to do in life.

It's all up to you.

What will you do with what's been handed to you?

The IAHBE

What is the IAHBE?

Well, it stands for the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs. What it does is provide you with a tremendous amount of resources for you, the home business entrepreneur.

While there is no way that I can tell you everything about the IAHBE here on this blog post, but I want to give you some insider information about what you really get. I know because I have been a member for quite some time now.

I actually found the IAHBE through SFI. It's free to join as many of you are already aware, but I understand the principal "it takes money to make money" so I wanted to get my standing order set up right away before I even started recruiting for SFI.

Why?

Well, because when you create a standing order which automatically qualifies you each month as an Executive Affiliate, you're setting the example for everyone in your downline. If you're serious about making money, you'll do these kinds of things in the programs that you're going to promote from the heart. How can you ask someone in your downline to create their standing order (so that you can make even more money) if you haven't set the example yourself?

Anyway, back to the IAHBE. It was my standing order from almost the very start of my joining SFI. This means that every single month, I get a check from SFI.

Of course, that's great and all, but the IAHBE membership in itself is awesome.Here are some of the things you get with your IAHBE membership.

Ok let's look at some of the topics at the IAHBE.

  • Getting Started
    • What's the ideal startup look like?
    • Everything's a scam
    • Take a permanent J-O-B vacation
  • Marketing Tips
    • Your words are your business
    • Breaking a vicious search engine cycle
    • Why people won't buy from you again
  • Finance your business
    • Forget what you THINK you know about loans
    • Capitalization For Small Business Owners
    • Credit Cards Aren't So Bad
  • Personal Growth
    • Use history to solve your issues today
    • Save Yourself-Quit Your Job Now!
    • A step-by-step guide to finding your niche
These are some of the main topics you can click on this month. They come in the form of free Ebooks, articles, and audios.

Here is a list of some of the other tools you'll get as an IAHBE member
  • More than 150 reports and exclusive articles.
  • Hours upon hours of free audio seminars.
  • Free windows and Mac software for your home business. Let me give you a few examples of what they offer here.
    • A free video and voice calling service.
    • A business form creation software.
    • Business plan guide and template.
    • Free secure shopping cart software for your e commerce website.
    • A keyword research tool plus a subscription to a keyword secrets newsletter.
    • Tax calculator (because there are great tax breaks when you work at home).
    • Software for your PC performance
      • Anti virus software.
      • Adware removal.
      • Registry cleaner.
      • Firewall.
      • Spyware removal.
      • XP tweak.
      • Hacker alarm.
    • And a ton more. The ones I listed here were just the ones for PC, they also have software for MAC users.
  • Exclusive home based business book and tool reviews.
  • Marketing aids.
  • Subscriptions to top business magazines (i.e. Entrepreneur)
  • Free best selling books that cover every aspect of home based business.
  • Online resources directory.
    • Blogs
    • Classifieds and Ezine ads
    • Promotion and Marketing
    • Autoresponders
    • Business Newsletters
    • Business loans
    • Tutorials
    • Fraud/Scam help
    • Essential downloads
    • E-mail clients
    • Lead generating
    • Online networking
    • Website design
    • Free downloads
  • Motivational thought of the day.
  • Free access to exclusive interviews and advice from entrepreneurs who are doing what you want to do.
  • An intro pack with over $1000.00 worth of bonuses.
  • 12 Free issues of "home Business Connection" magazine.
  • 15 free leads from CEM's leads generation system.
  • And more.
These are just some of the things that you get with your IAHBE membership. It is well worth the price and it gives you automatic Executive Affilaite status with SFI.

No doubt that your IAHBE membership will also help you grow your SFI business as well as any other business you may be promoting. This service will empower you and explode your business.

The drawback?

You can actually get lost on this site all day if you're not careful. It's hard to get through here and get all of the benefits of this membership. Some months when I'm really busy, I actually feel ripped off if I didn't get to access the IAHBE.

I have been a member for quite a long time and I STILL haven't had a chance to access all of the benefits that I'm entitled. I get busy with my actual marketing and forget to even visit! Then I get my check from SFI, and it's all ok.

So, there you go. A look into the IAHBE.

No Money, No List, No Experience Neccessary.

You’ve been waiting for a long time and finally its here- an affiliate program that will blow all the others out of the water!

The already popular TheSecondTier affiliate training center has undergone a complete information and visual makeover.

As an affiliate you’ll get more tools and they’ll be more powerful than ever. This translates directly into cha-ching! Here are just a few things that make this affiliate program the most effective affiliate program out there:

• Huge commissions on both first AND second tier sales!!! • Product tools for all types of affiliates.
• Full training center with access hours of video and audio training.
• Live affiliate manager blog where you can get your affiliate questions answered.
• Weekly live training calls (every monday morning!!!)

Russell Brunson's unique philosophy that affiliates should be provided not only with powerful tools but the knowledge to use them has pushed

TheSecondTier to the top of competing programs. Russell has taken affiliate training to a whole new level. He understands that he can have hundreds of affiliates that don’t know what they are doing and get decent sales OR he can give them the knowledge and tools they need to create explosive amounts of money AND share with them a very generous portion of the profits from each sale they generate!

Here are just a few of the things that you'll learn inside of TheSecondTier:

• How to choose the right product for you to promote - One of the biggest mistakes that almost all affiliates make when they first start out, is that they try to promote too many things at once. This video will show you exactly how to choose the right one or two products that will make you the most money.
• How to set up an "Affiliate Squeeze" page - Less then 2% of all affiliates use this powerful technique, but after you implement it into your affiliate promotions, you will see your commissions grow exponentially.

• How to drive targeted traffic to your "Affiliate Squeeze" pages for FREE - Once you learn this simple (and free) concept on how to drive traffic to your "Affiliate Squeeze" pages, you will be able to start literally writing your own paychecks.

• How to build an huge targeted opt-in mailing list - You will learn how easy it is to build an opt-in list, and use that to exponentially increase your affiliate commissions EVERY week!
• How to strategically place "Affiliate Land Mines" and watch your profits EXPLODE! - Follow this one simple strategy and you will start getting checks in the mail every month!

• How to dominate your Pay Per Click ad campaigns - It's very powerful if you learn how to do it right. This video will walk you through the process to get high converting PPC ads! • How to use teleseminars to close ten times the clients in 1/2 the time - One of the secrets to selling a lot of products as an affiliate quickly is doing teleseminars. I was nervous when I did my first few, but now I can't stop because every time I do one, my affiliate checks from that day are anywhere from $2,000 - $15,000 (and it's a lot easier then you'd think).

• How to broker JV deals and make a fortune on your 2nd tier - Many of our affiliates earn thousands of dollars each month from the efforts of others. These videos will show you exactly how they find super affiliates to add to their second tier. • How to protect your commissions from thieves while increasing your conversions - One of the number one concerns that affiliates have are people stealing their commissions. You will learn the techniques that will protect your links and also guarantee that even the worst thieves will gladly give you their commissions instead of keeping it for themselves.

• and a whole lot more....

Russell does not discriminate against less experienced affiliates. In fact, he’s already taken countless numbers of people from knowing 0 to being listed among his top affiliates. It is so effective that some people actually pay to sell products for him!

The products Russell puts out are of top quality and always in demand. In fact, people call his office months before products are ready just begging to know when they can get their hands on them.

Combine this with all the promotional and training tools Russell provides and you’re already half way to making serious affiliate commissions. The other half will be done when you take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
