Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 132
In today’s show, I’m going to share with you how to create a powerful benefit statement that encourages your network marketing and Direct Sales prospects to choose you as their sponsor.
We’ve spent the last few shows going through how to launch a business, where I am sharing with you exactly the steps I am taking to grow a business from start to finish.

How to Make Your Prospects Excited About Choosing YOU as Their Sponsor.
In the last show, we covered - What’s Your Hook - at JackieUlmer.com/131 - listen to review.
Over the last few weeks, I have had a lot of people come to me, now that they know I have launched a new business, and said -
I wish I had known you were looking…or on the market…
Then, they have gone on the “over sell” why their company would be great for me.
And, I am honored, make no mistake, but I really was not looking, at least consciously. I wasn’t on the market, so to speak.
Now, a quick point - when I did start researching for a business that would fit for my daughter and I, I went straight to the internet to research companies, and sponsor’s.
Yes, I sponsor shopped and selected my sponsor, and my upline after stalking them online. I had a specific criteria list for a company fit, and a sponsor criteria list.
Learn more about the Company Criteria in my show at JackieUlmer.com/125
So, question for you - are you out there so that others can FIND you online, if they go looking for YOUR company and YOU as a sponsor, even if they don’t know you exist?
And, how do you measure up? Do you represent the type of image and partnership that someone would be looking for?
How are your social media profiles? Your status updates? Are you set to attract your ideal prospect?
Good thing to keep in mind and clean up, if needed.
Now, here are some tips to engage with others on if you find they have changed companies -
What made you start looking for a new company?
What was your criteria list in a company?
A Sponsor?
Now, another tip is this - if you have changed companies with some frequency, and I get that you most often have to join a company to figure out if it will be a fit for you, don’t be in a hurry to blast things all over social media. Make sure you are REALLY sure and REALLY solid before you make any public announcements.
This protects YOUR integrity should you find a few months down the road that it’s not a fit.
So, let’s develop that benefit statement for why people would want to join with you.
Ask - would you like to know what happens next, when you decide to join?
Sign up.
Schedule Game Plan Interview Call, and share what will be covered.
I’ll assist you in developing a daily/weekly action plan and strategy.
We’ll talk about a business launch event.
We’ll cover the basic tools and training on how to use Social Media effectively in your business to create interest.

Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 131
In today’s show, I’m going to share some ideas on how to set yourself apart from the "crowd" of network marketers, people in your company and others in home business. Why would someone want to join with you? What makes you unique?
We’ve spent the last few shows going through how to launch a business, where I am sharing with you exactly the steps I am taking to grow a business from start to finish.
Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.
If you want even more in depth coaching, visit my inner circle coaching at JackieUlmer.com/coach
Are you looking for a business to settle in? Find out more about what I'm doing -
What's Your Network Marketing Business Hook
The concept of setting yourself apart from others in your company, the profession of network marketing and home business is important so you don't begin to sound like a broken record -
"Join me, our products are the BEST!"
"Take THESE, we have these patents pending!"
"Guess who uses our products and endorses them? The US National Reality TV Watching Marathon Team!"
Guess what? No one cares about that. It sounds like a sales pitch!
Tell people what you DO -
I help women look and feel their best by....
I help those who have problems with low energy in the afternoon overcome that...
Whatever fits for your products.
So, look at your product line and pick one product from your line that you can FOCUS on. You can always back end the OTHER products.
But find one that is easy to develop a hook around.
Then, figure out your hook as a business partner. Sell the benefits for working with you!
I teach others how to develop a solid business offline and online. I built a team of over 10,000 offline, and have personally enrolled over 1800 people who came to me through social media. I share how to do this with my team, including the exact steps I have taken.
I love working with moms and teaching them how to build an amazing business, from home, with their children by their side, using social media and other tools!

Your Listening to the Street Smart Wealth Podcast, show 130
In today’s show, I’m going to share with you an important step in achieving the success you want and that is how to manage your mindset as you launch or re-launch a Direct Sales business. Everything from getting started, to hearing no, to having success, how you manage your mindset is critical!
We’ve spent the last few shows going through how to launch a business, where I am sharing with you exactly the steps I am taking to grow a business from start to finish.
Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.
If you want even more in depth coaching, visit my inner circle coaching at JackieUlmer.com/coach
In the last show, we covered Success Language - and how to develop scripting that fits for you and your prospect. Listen in at JackieUlmer.com/129
How to Manage Your Mindset In Your Direct Sales Business Launch
Ask any successful person what the secret is to their success and somewhere in there, they will share - stating focused and managing the disappointments and setbacks.
And, it’s equally as important to manage your mindset around your calendar and your successes.
Get clear on -
Why you joined?
Determine Your Why and Write it Down
This sounds simple and yet very few people ever take the time to do this very important step in the business. So, let me ask you – have you taken this step? If not, do so now in the handout that accompanies this training series. Get crystal clear on this; write it down in several places, including your day times, above your computer, your bathroom mirror, etc.
Now, take a look at it and ask yourself – is this truly compelling enough for me to take action in my business. After reading this, am I willing to turn off the TV, make my list and begin really working my business.
There is a saying that your why should make you cry, and it is so true. When you care more about what you are working toward than what others might say or think about your decision, you are on the right track.
For me, my why was my children, as I mentioned and not having them in day care. That was compelling to me and something that I was highly committed to. It is what kept me in the game; what kept me from quitting when someone said no; or laughed at me; or quit my business when I was just sure they were going to be "the ONE" to take me to the top.
Make sure your why creates this kind of feeling and emotion for you. You want to be emotionally connected to your why. When you think about it, you do want it to bring up emotional feelings for you.
As you are determining what your reason why, also spend some time writing out what you perfect day would be in your life, once you are well on your way toward your goals. I say well on your way because it really never ends. You never quite get it all the way done, there is always something more to be working toward.
What your expectations are.
Setting Your Expectations, Handling Shutdowns
It is so important to set realistic expectations for yourself and your business. One of the biggest mistakes one can make is to set some super high goals that are so far outside of the ballpark that there is just no way to really achieve them. We get excited, and we think we are going to totally clear our calendar and do nothing but our business. Often, we do this at a Super Saturday, or initial training and then we get back home and the real world and real life sets in. The kids need driven for car pool, the real job may still be there, etc.
So, set some realistic goals and plans for yourself. We'll talk more about this when we get to the module on Scheduling your calendar and business time, and developing your plan.
Having your goals in writing will help you and your team with what can be known as "buyer's remorse." This often comes up when a new rep gets started, talks to a few people and experience a "shut down" and then wonder if they made the right decision. It's easy to get bogged down in other people's opinions that can be offered to us by someone who is not really familiar with what we are doing.
Listen to my Mean Janeen story!
Handling the NOs
First, not everyone is going to tell you yes, and you may hear a few no's before you get to some yeses. If you know this going in, and are prepared for it, then you will be expecting to hear no from some who you are hoping will join you.
Can you prepare for that now? Can you handle it if and when they say no?
Here is one thing I assure you – if you will stick with your business; develop your business skills and keep following up with those who you have talked to previously, many of those will come back and say YES at a later time. That is my story. I said no WAY before I said yes. Nothing had changed in the business, products, compensation plan, etc, when I decided to say yes. What had changed was ME. I was now ready.
Remember, other people can only affect you if YOU allow them to. Their opinion does not reflect on you, your company and products, or your decision, It's simply a reflection of them, and where they are in their life right now. And, if someone happens to be mean or nasty about it, then that speaks a bit to character and their own insecurities, in my opinion.
StreetSmartScripts.com has some great come backs when people get arrogant with you!
Manage Your Mindset Around Your Calendar
Slight Edge, easy to do, easy not to do.
Listen in and hear my story with the Bagel Moms. It’s about giving up something today so you can do whatever you want whenever you want tomorrow and forever.
Manage Your Successes
Develop your leadership skills.
Reach out to people but don’t babysit. Point to tools to educate.
Be a servant leader. Ask how you might assist.
Don’t be afraid of objections and challenges.
Timeline of Success
Understand the timeline of success. In the beginning, it feels like you are doing a LOT of work for little to no pay. And, you are! It’s like a scale that is weighted at one end. Over time, as you stay consistent, it begins to balance with time and pay, and pretty soon, it tips to the side where you are working the same of less time, and making a WHOLE lot of pay. Remember, you are building ongoing income and like compound interest, in the beginning, it seems so slow. Also, understand the timeline of others. Some will come in right away, some will over time, some never will. Some will work their business right away, some will over time, and some never will.
How fast or slow did you start? Give others the latitude to start on their own timeline. You can’t control it anyway.
Avoid the tendency to sponsor and then sit back and wait.
As YOU stay consistent, you will create that tipping scale that leans in your favor! Set realistic goals and expectations and avoid “buyers remorse.” 2-5 year plan and your first 90 days are critical.
ACTION STEPS
Get Clear on your why.
Set realistic expectations.
How will you handle the nos?
How will you manage your calendar?
Understand the timeline of success and don’t wait on anyone.

Success Language for Contacting Your Prospects
Contacting and Inviting is the gateway skill you must learn and master to be successful, it’s an art and a skill.
Once I learned it, everything changed. I went from being in sales mode to solutions provider and I learned how to handle every network marketing prospecting situation that came up.
I cover this in StreetSmartScripts.com
Most people aren’t trained on this topic. They sign up in their Direct Sales company, given a basic training and an idea of what to say and sent out to make that list and start contacting people.
We get into sales mode when we talk too much about the ingredients in the products, the celebrity endorsements and a lot of fancy words and concepts tossed around that we think is going to bring in our prospect.
But, that is not what “sells.”
What was it that brought you into the business? What caused you to get out your credit card and hit submit?
Did you have a product experience?
Or, maybe you just caught the vision of what was possible with your network marketing business.
Whatever it was, this is likely what you will want to share
Review show 127 for ideas on building your active candidate list and how to edit it properly.
You will contact them in different ways.
Spend some time developing some ideas of what you will say to your
Hot Market Friends and Family People you’ve been in network marketing before Those already in a Direct Sales business
and so on.
A big mistake many network marketers make is getting signed up and blasting some advertising pitch on their Facebook page.
Beware - Facebook is REALLY cracking down and shutting down Facebook advertising accounts, so make sure you know what you are doing.
That’s ok - I have sponsored many people from Facebook just by reaching out and building relationships.
I sponsored 5 people just this past week through my Facebook Prospecting methods.
Learn more in Facebook For Direct Sales Profits.
People don’t come to Facebook to get advertised and sold to; they are there for social and fun. That doesn’t mean they aren’t open, you just have to be specific in how you do it.
You also don’t want to blast out anything big to your email list, either. You give away your ability to generate leads and interest and have no idea who to follow up with.
So, again, go back and start with your reasons why for building a business.
Contacting those who have been involved in a Direct Sales business before is an important piece. Why? Because they have been open in the past and may be again, BUT, you want to contact them carefully so as not to appear that you want to draw them away from what they are doing now.
ACTION STEPS
Write That List.
Sort That List.
Write out what you will see in different situations, to build rapport, create curiosity, ask permission.
Remember the third party approach.

An important step to take before you launch your business is take some time to really determine who your target audience is.
Here’s a hint - it’s NOT the whole world.
Today, we will cover how to narrow that down based on products and opportunity and you’ll find a download guide to walk you through this in the show notes -
We’ve spent the last few shows going through how to launch a business, where I am sharing with you exactly the steps I am taking to grow a business from start to finish.
Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.
If you want even more in depth coaching, visit my inner circle coaching at JackieUlmer.com/coach
The first two weeks have been awesome of the new business launch. I have sponsored personally and my second level is started as well.
I have reached out to large audience and have 2 showcases booked by friends. More on that in another show.
I have 2 more people committed to joining this week, and many in the deciding stages.
I did this doing EXACTLY what I have been sharing with you in the last few podcast shows.
In the next show, we will cover what to SAY as you begin contact people but first, let’s determine -
Who is Your Target Audience
Key Points -
It’s not everyone.
This is important as you work through your list, and also as you get out on social media, into groups, forums and begin interacting with people.
Sort this into two areas -
Your Products
Your Opportunity
And, even if your products will only work for a specific group, don’t forget your list of potential referral partners.
Start with your product line, and this is where it is important to KNOW your products. What’s your Direct Sales Company’s Flagship product? What are some other products?
Who would be right for your products?
Develop a paragraph around this concept -
You know how people (insert challenge here)? I market a product that helps people (insert solution here.) Do you know anyone who might be interested in a product like that?
Now, you aren’t selling, you are problem solving. Big difference.
Once you’ve developed that paragraph, go through your list and pick out who fits that MOST appropriately. And, then also think of your referral partners.
Now, let’s think of your opportunity.
Tendency to think of people who NEED money. Don’t write them off the list but don’t necessarily start there.
Start with movers and shakers. In this case, you’ll be leading with the opportunity.
Again, a paragraph -
“You know how people have been really challenged in this economic environment? I started a business on the side that has created extra income for me, without getting a second job and leaving my family. In fact, I do most of it from home, in the evenings after the kids are in bed. Do you know anyone who might be looking for something like that?”
So, again, ask yourself -
Who is my target audience?
What is my target audience's demographics? (age, gender, background, income level, etc.)
What are their dreams, goals and desires?
What are the challenges, fears and concerns they face?
Why did I choose this audience?
Why did I choose my company and products? (Get VERY specific)
What experiences, skills and/or personal attributes do I have that will connect with this audience?
What solutions do I provide?
Based on my answers and my target audience, how will I differentiate myself from my competition?
So, here are some ACTION STEPS for you -
Develop your paragraph for your product and opportunity.
Get very clear on the solution you provide. This gives you confidence.
Begin to develop what you will say with each different person. It will vary and that’s okay. There is no cut and dried “script” that fits everyone.
The more you talk to people, the easier it will become to know what to say in each situation. Today, nothing takes me out of my game and I know what to say EVERY time. I mean EVERY time. And, I didn’t start that way. It’s only because I have done it so many times.

No matter what company or product line you choose to promote in your Direct Sales business, one of the first things you will be coached to do….and will want to do if you want to have success (I’m avoiding the word should. Do it because you understand WHY!)….is begin to build a list of potential prospects for your business and your products.
Let’s talk about how to make a success list; where to find those names and how to keep adding to that list.
If you’ve followed this show from January 1st, 2015, you’ll know that I am sharing the exact details of how my daughter and I have launched a new Direct Sales business so that you can see exactly what needs to be done, and what you can expect.
Check the podcast archives on the blog at JackieUlmer.com for previous episodes if you missed any or are new to the show.
I’m thrilled you are here, either way and enjoy spending this time with you. My goal is to empower you and inspire you to know that YOU, can do this, too.

Show notes -
How to Build a List of Prospects For Your Direct Sales Business
First, please don’t miss this point - Write out your list, on paper. Get it out of your head.
And, here is where you have a choice.
Some people say -
No one I know will be interested. (Really, you are a mind reader?)
I don’t have any warm market. (Really, you don’t know ANYONE?)
I don’t want to talk to anyone I know until I am successful.
These are 3 common objections to making that list.
Here is the thing, though -
Every business needs customers. Direct Sales consists of customers and business builders, who are also customers.
How do you intend to find customers to take your business into profit?
I understand Fear, so I want to acknowledge that. We all have them. And, those who are successful learn to push THROUGH them. It doesn’t mean the fear goes away. I had this discussion with my daughter as we were working on her list.
I explained what NO means from a prospect. It’s not rejection, or any kind of indicator that what you are doing, or your company/product is bad.
If you don’t want to start with those you know, then you MUST find alternative ways to find people to talk to.
This can be - life styling, offline networking events, running ads, buying leads, or social media. Those methods have been and will be covered in future shows, so stay tuned. In the meantime, still pay attention here, because either way, you’ll want to know how to work with your list.
And, as you go throughout your direct sales career, you’ll always want to be adding to that list.
So, let’s build a list, shall we?
Get out a notebook. Yes, we are going to WRITE it down. There is power in the act of writing vs typing.
Start with your hot market - these are those people closest to you, who you are simply going to contact, share what you are doing and ask if they will just try your product and give you a customer testimonial if they like it.
Who will do this for you, because of your relationship? Family, very close friends, inlaws and so on. You aren’t going to try to “sell” them on the business.
Next, let’s think more about warm market. Those would be people you know and have a good relationship with, but won’t immediately say yes to trying your product.
Business oriented market - who do you do business with?
Networking contacts
Previous Business Contacts
Other Social Media sites
Forums online
Network Marketing leaders you may know - just to advise and promote product
My story with men and the women they know.
Mobile Phone
Holiday card list
Potential referral partners
Sort your list - how do you know these people?
This is important because then you want to pull out your pre-launch list. You’ll approach them a little differently, with a different “Hook.”
A hook is just a form of enticement; some bait, so to speak, and not in a bad way. You want to chum the waters; salt the oats to lead them to water.
Have a goal you are working toward with prelaunch group.
Incentive trip.
Regional Training Event.
Reward.
Promote the heck out of your incentive, Build excitement toward it.
Incorporate it into your contacting language.
Now, here is some advice you have heard over and over again but don’t pre-judge and don’t edit your list. Put every name down that you think if, even if you come back to them later. My daughter and I also worked on this, as she didn’t fully get it.
There will be some you contact for -
Product Business Referral Partners
So, here are some ACTION STEPS for you -
Write the list down. Don’t leave it in your head.
Sort your list by the 3 categories.
Don’t edit your list.
Have a hook or goal you are working toward with your contacts.
Be fearless with your list. You’re just asking a simple question.

I’m going to explain the difference between joining a business and launching a business.
I mean how to really spend a little time and get prepared! That’s what we will cover in today’s show…
As I have shared in the last two shows, my daughter and I have launched a new business and I thought it would be cool to pull back the curtain and show you how to start from scratch and build it.
In the last show, we talked about some specifics we used to choose the right company for us, and you can get an idea of a check list of criteria at http://JackieUlmer.com/125
Today, I’m covering how to prepare to launch and you’ll find show notes at http://JackieUlmer.com/126 so you can come back and write down some of the steps I am covering.

How to Prepare For Your Direct Sales Business Launch
Ignorance on Fire and the Fallacy there.
Joining vs Launching.
Know your products.
Order and use your products.
Start working on your own customer testimonial. No hype!!!
Write out your list, get it out of your head.
Sort your list - how do you know these people?
Hot market, warm market, business oriented market, networking contacts, Facebook and social media, previous business contacts, mobile phone; potential referral partners.
Pull out your pre-launch list.
Plan prelaunch and then 90 days. Have a goal to work toward. Ours is an incentive trip in the Caribbean.
Success language and scripting. KNOW what to say and what to say to whom.
Phone, email, text, Facebook private message contacting, autoresponders.
Short and sweet, and NEVER give your link or company details until you get permission.
Offline Networking Events. What products/Tools will you need?
Think about social media. Do you need -
Gmail account Blog or new domains Autoresponders for opt ins New SM accounts - FaceBook Business Page, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube
You may or may not. Don’t let this slow you down.
I do recommend a domain re-direct though.
I’m considering a very simple WordPress blog just to share and track my daily activities and growth. This way, interested prospects can follow along. Thinking about the duplication aspect of it, though.
Get familiar with the tools. Order business cards, and anything else you will need.
Get trained by your sponsor and take notes so you know how to get someone else new started. And, even if you are seasoned, take this step so you don’t reinvent the wheel.
Develop your Daily Method of Operation.
GET STARTED.
So, here are some ACTION STEPS for you -
Know, Use and Share Your Product story.
Write your list down. EVERYONE. Don’t be fearful; when you know what to say, and you do it right, you’ll have success. 95% success right now in at least getting people to take a look!
Start contacting. Set your daily minimum.
Use good success language, avoid hype and ask for referrals.
Follow up consistently.
