How Mary Jane got 2,457 customers in 2.5 years. With one little script.

Have you heard the story of Mary Jane? She struggled for almost three years and got 32 customers in all that time. Then she took one course - over the phone. In the next 2.5 years, using the little scripts she learned, she got 2,457 customers. How did she do that?

She learned what to say to earn trust and arouse interest. And she got that from this little program...

MJ is now, five years later, at nearly 8,000 customers. Here are some of the hundreds of other stories...

"This week I spoke to 13 people, I got 2 autoship customers and 3 referrals; one is a health club owner. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. It's fun to work now." -SandraP, Isagenix Rep

"I did $1,200 in business in one day. In my 31 years in business I've never had a day like that, ever." Mary A. Shaklee Rep

"Of the 78 people I talked to, I revived 6 dead people who hadn't ordered in years, make 18 program sales instead of single bottles, and sold 2 air units. My sales went up almost $1,000 this week." Jan H. Melaleuca Rep

They and hundreds of others each spent $270 on a three-day course with me. You can now get it for $57 or $47.

Are your words worth $25 million dollars?

Who says words don't matter?

I'm watching a video in which a marketing guy, Bob Serling, reports on a sales letter he created for a customer, who used it, and landed a contract for $25 million with it.

It's a page and a quarter, and he uses it now for different clients, tweaked to their business. When a prospect wanted it, he sold it to them for $30,000, plus a percent of whatever they took in.

No, I don't have the letter.

It's just a reminder about how important the words you use, are, when you're trying to sell something large or small.

How do you talk to people? Do you "throw up" on them? Do you techno-babble them? Do you encourage them to come to a conclusion themselves, without you having to convince them?

First steps to your $25 million marketing letter:

1. IS there a market? (Don't take it for granted that there is one big enough or findable enough for you to earn a living.)

2. If yes, who are they? What kinds of people are they and what are their values?

3. Describe their values or experiences that might have led to those values in minute detail. Begin with yourself if you're a raving product lover of whatever you market.

Do we promise too much with nutritionals?

Taking a nutritional supplement, especially if it's whole food based, is a good thing.

But is it really going to change one's life?

Should we create less expectation of a life transformation, and instead position it as as a first step towards getting back that old energy or improving one's health?

Who's your enemy?

Every movie's villain makes the whole movie fun and keeps things moving. In a fun post, one marketing author suggests we, as marketers, also need villains.

What's your number one enemy?

Our blogger friend suggests:

"The weight-loss blog's No.1 enemy is fat. The productivity guru's enemy is clutter or poor time-management. The web designer's enemy is ugly and non-user friendly site architecture."

He points to a site here which lays out "what we're fighting for" and "What we're fighting against." (See right side, bottom quarter.)

"Enemies" are not specific people of course, but conditions, attitudes and habits.

What are you against, as it relates to what you are for, marketing your product?

For an example of the enemies we chose in the little start-up I am part of, check out the affiliate link at the top left of this page: Are Your Vitamins Safe?

Can you see what we positioned as our 'enemy'?

What's YOUR enemy as it relates to what's most important about your product line?

Then tell the world. Start here, by telling US.

In case you want the little one...

Customer magnate:

This coming Tuesday, and the following Tuesday, two third parties will introduce the 3 Scripts 100 Customers 100 Days CD program. They're big players, with hundreds of thousands on their lists. This is a first for me. Fun.

Anyway, I have about 400 of those left.

That's the 5-CD 3 Scripts 100 customers 100 days program, based on the classes I did from July 2003 to June 2006. It's the most successful program I've released in the past 3 years.

I'm pretty sure they will all be gone in the next week or sooner.

I am telling you because I am not reprinting the 3 Scripts CD program. I am replacing it with the expanded and newer 12-CD Customer Enchilada program.

The 5 CD program is $49.

The newer expanded 12-CD one is $137. It's based on the New School program (for which students paid $619 for the customer part, which this program is), is $137.(With the orange book it's $147, see both options here.

So if you'd like to get the little orange 5 CD 100 Customer program while I still have it, now is the time.

Either way...they'll be gone forever soon. If not this week, next week. Because both promoters have lists that dwarf mine.

It's here if you want it. $49. Get $8 discount too.

Offer good through March 31 (this Monday.)

To get the $8 discount, DO THIS: Enter the code: shipfree

at the end of the order process. It will prompt you. Then you save $8.

shipfree. It knocks off $8.

Can't get the free shipping code to work right, so we're just knocking off $8 ok?

OK that's all. :)

P.S. I fixed that code, and it's working right now. shipfree. It knocks off $8.

How to prevent customer Lulu from quitting the product

How do you get a customer who sticks with the (product/service) program? Compare these two scenes.

1. You've been convinced and persuaded to buy Product X from a friend. You even tried it.

2. You learned about Product X from a friend. After some consideration (and perhaps trying it), you realized it's really what you want. Product X harmonizes with your values.

When the spouse starts in, which purchase will you defend more?

The $64,000 question:

How do you present the product or service you have, so the other person gets to decide, on their own, that this product (or service) is in harmony with what they want - or not? (Trying it is often not enough, especially if you've promised big results that they don't notice.)

Open for wild and woolly ideas from the floor...

Saying it makes it unso, say some.

Is there anyone here who doesn't think their product, their business or their offspring isn't the greatest?

And in case the other person didn't notice, who ever misses an opportunity to say that out loud to anyone listening?

Here's one way others react to that:

"I'm reminded of a new trend I'm seeing more of, which is the act of declaring whatever you're working on 'the best ever,' 'the best in the world,' etc.

Saying it doesn't make it so. In fact, it probably makes it unso."

So writes Seth Godin here.

Sigh.

Do you know how to inspire curiosity in your product? Instead of "There she goes again!"

Three of the 12 CDs on the expanded new Customer Enchilada program here are devoted to that. (Special ends tomorrow. Then it will be gone.)

No doubt you have ideas too...

How to find high class local resellers for your product

Here's a way to find local and professional resellers. People with their own clientele - people you don't have to teach, motivate or drag to meetings.

And they'll sell the product if they love it. And they cost zip.

Combining Google with staying local.

Say you market a natural energy product.

1. Google entrepreneurs who have clients that are likely to have an interest in that product.

E.g. enter: Chiropractors in Wichita Kansas

Fill in any professional entrepreneur type, from upscale hair salons to alternative MDs in any city and state in the US.

2. Find one of the 'lists' or directories.

For most every category in the search results, you'll see a directory - sometimes several. Search those for lists by area and their specialty. You'll see their address, maps, and phone numbers.

3. Using some of the friendly scripts in the orange book, you can contact a group of 15-20 of them per day. Do all of one kind to start (e.g. all chiropractors, or all personal trainers) so you get familiar with them. Then find the one or two who might want a product like yours to check out and maybe carry.

One gal in our class called a group of chiropractors in her town, and one of them invited her to speak at an upcoming local event for chiropractors in the region (!!)

Most all entrepreneurs understand wholesale-retail spreads.

In my last company, I contacted alternative medical doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area, from the Yellow Pages. There was no Google then.

One of those MDs still orders 5-10 boxes of the product to this day, some 12 years later(!)

I know because the group I sold my business to shows me the reports now and then.

There's more detail on this reaching out method in CD 12 of the expanded new Customer Enchilada Priority Program here.

Do-it-yourself-ers can get started just with this info, yes?

Results: YES 296; NO 17

1. Would you use your product if you weren't selling it?

1. Yes 296 (95%)

2. No 17 (5%)

Out of 313 people, 296 of you would use the products even if you weren't selling it.

Do you think there are others out there like you, who'd use the products even if they were not selling them?

Would you give Lulu a chance to be your customer - like many of you said you were - years before you decided to sell it?

Want to learn to create a following of customers who are like you?

December 31, 2008: You have 30 customers who love the product, and each earns you $10 per month. That's $300/mo.

Would it be worth $147 one time - to learn to earn that - each month?

296 to 17.

Can you beat those customer-lover odds?

Check out the special Customer Enchilada Priority program here. Less than $147.

The Priority Special rates and extra bonuses will be gone tomorrow.

Would you use it if you weren't selling it?

Here's a question to ponder - a few people have been surprised by their honest answers and have found something else to market:



Results so far here:

Kim, why did you change?

John Fogg asked me that a few years ago.

"Why did you change from a rabid recruiter to the customer queen?"

In 2003, going after customers in NM was considered really dumb.

Why go after customers they asked, when "all the money's in the recruiting?" (Most companies still pay much better for recruiting than repeat customers.)

Anyway, here's why I changed.

In June, 2003, after some 8 years of consulting with thousands of reps from almost 100 different companies, I saw that many were just fading away. They were quitting. They did not want to recruit.

But it was all they were told to do.

Interesting tidbit: Nearly ALL those quitting were still big product lovers. They decided to stay with the product but not recruit anymore.

Then I got two surprises from my work with a few of the companies directly:

1. Only 3% of a network marketing company's reps sell enough product each month to get a check each month.

2. About 97% of the income a good product company gets comes from the product orders placed by 'wholesale customers' - former reps who've stopped recruiting.

That told me recruiting and selling is much harder than the companies and recruiters let on. And it's even harder today, in this recessionary time.

The good news: There are plenty of people who care about their health, the environment, good skin care, and clean household products, and who will pay a premium to get the high-grade stuff.

If AOL and cable TV can build repeat monthly customer empires, why not us?

1,000 repeat customers paying you $10/ea gives you $10,000/mo
300 customers paying you $10/ea give you $3000/mo.
30 customers paying you $10/ea give you $300/mo

Before you read further, ASK YOURSELF:

WOULD YOU USE THE PRODUCT IF YOU WEREN'T SELLING IT?

If YES, do you think others would, too?

Instead of quitting the business, how about taking a page from the AOL and cable TV model, and build up a repeat customer base?

Hundreds of people have done that instead of quitting the business.

Why not you?

P.S. The new and expanded and Customer Enchilada program will be released this Tuesday at NOON PT. We will have 99 special deals available - something for the first 33; second 33 and third 33. Hehehe.

Tell ya tomorrow what the deals are.

The customers: They haven't enrolled anyone yet!

I mistakenly posted this on the main blog. So here it is here, where I intended it to be...

Shelagh comments this to the post: "Networkers, quick: What's a customer?"

"Many of our customers are Distributors who think/say they are building a business, but haven't enrolled anyone yet!"

I wonder how many of them discovered doing the business wasn't something they enjoyed, and now they say they're building a business, just to pacify their upline?

We all want everyone to build, it's true. And most everyone is taught to hit on their customers, hard, to enroll others.

But only 1 in 100 will really consider sales, which NM is. And when people discover they don't like doing it, they stop. It's hard to force someone to do what they don't enjoy.

So maybe we can be grateful that they are at least staying on as customers?

Perhaps they'd be more interested in bringing in another customer, instead of enrolling more distributors?

Or perhaps they know someone who really does love sales?

From 27 customers to 2,783 in two years, with this little script...

Want to hear how one gal, new to mlm, went from 27 customers to 2,783 in two years, using a little script and some attitude?

Go to this page, SCROLL TO the VERY bottom, and click on #1.

Remember - SCROLL TO the VERY VERY bottom of the page. #1.

It's a 20 minute audio interview we did...she's since gotten her numbers up to 7,000 customers, but this is how she started from zip.

Enjoy this Easter Sunday!

Click here. Scroll to bottom of page. Click on #1.

P.S. The details on the little things she did, and many more others have done with fun and success, will be available to you this Tuesday. Noon PT.

"I don't want customers, I need Directors," she said

Tonight a gal emailed me saying "Oh I didn't know this Customer Enchilada Priority Notification group was about customers, I don't want customers. I do $10,000/mo in purchase volume and I want to break new Directors."

Oh. Cool.

Let's say a new Director does $500 in business. For which she gets 20%. So $100.

The number of people who want to build a business is at BEST 1 in 100. And usually, after that initial order, that's all they do.

Here's the CUSTOMER option.

Say the product she sells costs a regular customer $50/mo.

Customers are ten times more available than recruits.

More like 1 in 10 or 15. That's if you go to those with a problem and similar world view to yours - e.g. something for women with night sweats who want something natural. (Like in the WebTalk Part 1).

So if she knew how to approach them in large numbers at once, the way we will show in the WebTalk Part 2, she might get ten in 6 months. Her PV would be $500/mo (10 x $50)

Say they also pay her 20% for the customer orders.

In six months, she would make that same $100 she'd get from her Director .

Not just once, but month after month. (10 customers x $50 = $500 x 20% = $100).

Getting Directors isn't the only way to make money in NM. Your company has to pay you at least 10% for just customer orders though. If they don't, recruiting, though much harder, is the only option you have to earn anything.

Tomorrow I'll announce the timing of the release and the special extras for the first 99 people who sign up for the expanded Customer Enchilada program. It will be available Tuesday, exactly at NOON, PT.

Kim's Customer WebTalk #1

Here's the private and exclusive for-customer-enchilada-priority-notification group link:

Networkers, quick: What's a customer?

Someone who BUYS stuff. Not who sells stuff.

The latter would be sales people. Or network marketers.

Part 2: WIN $147 CE: How does your product give Lulu what she wants?

This continues the post announcing WIN $147 CE the contest here. If you posted something already, thanks. The challenge to you was to complete this statement:

"Lulu, here's how this product gives you what you want."

Everyone who responded asked Lulu, in some way, if she'd like to buy your product.

That's what you want, but is probably not what Lulu wants. Not really. Here's the next question. Look at your answer and then tell:

What are you thinking Lulu wants?

WIN $147 CE: How does your product give Lulu what she wants?

Good sales and marketing folks know they need to give people what they want.
"Give people what they want and you'll be rich!"

Sounds good.

Let's try it. Take your favorite product and show us how you'd complete this sentence. [Lulu is someone you've just met through a friend.]

Use the principles in Post #1 and #2 in this blog (scroll down to see those) and tell us how you'd complete this statement:

"Lulu, here's how this product gives you what you want."

Winner gets the new and expanded 12 CD Customer Enchilada Program - $147 value. It should be out within two weeks. We'll take entries for the next 72 hours. Starting now, March 17, 1:55PM CT.

P.S. It's a little tricky, just like marketing. Hehehe.
