Five Things You DON'T Want to Say 

to a Prospect

It's very important to be as careful as possible when talking to a prospect about the business.  Without realizing it, it's easy to say something misleading about the business...or say something that simply turns your prospect off.  Here are five of those things (I believe Kim Klaver originated this list):

1. "Anyone can do it." 

While it may be true most people have the basic skill set to do this if they want to, the truth is it's not easy to have your own stamping and scrapbooking business and each and every person cannot do it.

2. "You'll make lots of money immediately.

While there is money to be made, it usually takes some time and effort before you really start to see it.  Telling people they'll be raking it in immediately sets their expectations too high, and leads to disenchanted downlines who drop.

3. "Everyone will want your product/service"

As popular as scrapbooking is right now, not everyone will want what you have to offer.  Also, this is what everybody says about their product/service.  Nobody believes it when they hear it.

4. "This is the best company to sign up with."

This may be true, but again, it's also what everyone says about their company.  Your prospect won't believe it... and it may even turn them off to what you're saying.

- "All you have to do is talk to people you know."

In the long-run, this just isn't true.  Sooner or later, you're going to have to speak with people you don't know.  Some people say that starting with family can cause problems, too.  Family members may be more likely to criticize someone's decision to start their business, and this can have a very negative impact on a new, inexperienced downline.

Two 1-on-1 Coaching Slots Now Open!

As many of you know, I began accepting a limited number of 1-on-1 Coaching clients a couple of months ago.

I'm happy to say that I am now expanding this program and taking on two additional clients.

1-on-1 Coaching is for those stamping professionals who are committed to doing what it takes to see rapid results and dramatic growth.  

Unlike Mentors, who's knowledge is usually limited to the world of stamping, a Coach knows about the latest technologies, trends and techniques in the worlds of business, marketing and advertising, sales, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) & IT (Information Technology), and can show you how to apply it to YOUR world.

If think you're ready to step up to 1-on-1 Coaching, or would just like more information, select here.  We'll set up a complimentary consultation call to see if 1-on-1 Coaching is right for you.

Of course, Group Coaching is still available, as well (although space is VERY limited).  If you're interested in learning more, select here.

How Much Are Stay-At-Home Moms 

REALLY Worth?

It's no secret that stay-at-home moms are generally unappreciated.  But a recent study by Salary.com illustrates just how much!

The study looked at all of the job duties a stay-at-home mom takes on, weighted them on the basis of importance & frequency, and worked them into a 100-hour work week (14 hours per day).  The results are below:

As you can see, being a stay-at-home mom is a six-figure profession!
