Are You Who You Want To Be?

Isn't that an interesting question? I thought so when I heard the song on the radio.

It really got me thinking if I am who I want to be.

Find the song by the group Switchfoot and listen to the words.

This is your life, are you who you want to be?

So as you go through your daily routine, keep this thought in your head.

If you're not who you want to be, then what in the world are you doing about it?

There are so many things out in this world that will promise you this and promise you that and most are just junk. I know, I've tried a bunch of them.

Then I found this new book by a man named Joe Schroeder called "Super Mind". This is the answer that I was looking for to help me BE who I want to be. This is my life and I'm becoming who I want to be thanks to this book.

If you don't have it yet or you have never heard of this, take a few minutes and listen to this recording at 1-800-772-9781 ext. 40. Then, visit this website and get the $10K Report. Finally, get back with me and I can tell you how to get this book in your hands.

Don't go through another day wishing that you could have yesterday back, because today is all you'll ever have.

This is your life, be who you want to be. You deserve it and you know it.

A letter from my friend Joe

Secrets of My Full-Page Ads!

Or ...

“Houdini Marketing Genius and How To Think Before You
Place Ads.”

How do you write ad copy (or even just a simple classified ad) whereby on one piece of paper sits enough sales psychology to fill up a football stadium?

The Thinking Behind The Words
In fact, what is on that piece of paper, posing as an advertisement, was so much sales psychology that it induced 100’s of people to send you money?

Or, to be more “professional,” to buy whatever it was you were selling. How would that work?

I Think For The Reader
How do you write in such a way that the people would not only believe what you were saying, but they would believe you to such an extreme level, that they would actually get excited enough to send you their MONEY?

How do you do that? What would you say?

It’s called “Cognitive Intuition”
How do you “write” ad copy in such a way that is actually induces absolute strangers, who are mesmerized by the words you write, to buy whatever you are selling?

Well, believe this:

30 Million and Growing
I have written ad copy now for six years professionally. And these “little strips” of paper have been the catalyst in moving over $30,000,000 dollars of goods and services.

Yes. There is a formula.

Now listen up. Because this is important. What follows is a very brief four pages of HOW people are CODED.

The Genetic Code
Yes, I am saying that we are all CODED genetically the same way. So much so in fact, that once you know the formula of the "genetic code," you will virtually know how to write in such a way that people’s reactions to what you will write are PREDICTABLE!

What I am saying is that people are predictable. But enough "talk." Let me prove to you what I mean. From my course, "The Cash Flow Recruiting Machine!"


All humans are genetically coded the same way.

This we know for sure about people:

People are drawn to blood and decay faster than they are good news.

I Am Negative
The headlines in my ads are negative. Show people a negative and they seek to survive the negative by learning about it. People study my ads like they do the six O’clock news. Why? To avoid
MORE PAIN possibly tomorrow!

"Where’s the beef?" That was a negative ad from Wendy’s.

"Don’t leave home without it!" the AMEX TV commercials are totally negative. They show people having a HARD TIME when they lose their luggage and clothes when they travel. But, if you have American Express (solution) you are saved!

Have you ever noticed how cars on the highway will come to a stop just to see dead people that have crashed their cars? Perverse for sure.
It’s also how people are. Isn’t it?

The first column on the left of each of my ads always gets the reader to nod their heads and say, "this guy Joe is talking about me". I accomplish that by being the reader.

When you look at the left column of my full page ads notice how I am identifying with every Networkers worst dreams. Things I KNOW they have felt before. About recruiting in MLM.

When you watch the SOPRANOS on HBO (you Do watch that don’t you!) have you ever wondered what they "big deal" is and why everyone in America is ga-ga over this "Mafia" TV show?

Here’s one answer. It has to do with RAPPORT.

The appeal is that when you watch the SOPRANOS you are watching yourself.

Can People Relate To a Sociopath?
We all are like Tony (the lead and also a killer). And the appeal is how "normal" Tony is. He is an "everyman." He is also a murderer. And as people watch it they subconsciously get a thrill by being so much like someone they are so opposite of.

In your ads, if the reader can not relate to you or what you are selling they won’t trade their money with you. Watch the SOPRANOS to see what I mean. Sundays @ 9.

People will do more to avoid pain than they will to gain pleasure.

Based on this fact about people I do NOT advertise pleasure. Thus, I do NOT advertise MLM products or highlights any MLM company.

Because I know the genetic code of people, I gain their attention by identifying and highlighting their pain.

Survival Mechanism
Thus, because I write about better SURVIVAL techniques in MLM, readers will STUDY my ad copy before they will read traditional "company" (vanity) advertising. Based on people’s preconditioned disposition, (they avoid pain) people have NO CHOICE but to read my ads. Because we are built to avoid pain and discomfort.

Any good ad solves a problem and HIGHLIGHTS the anguish and pain the reader is presently experiencing. Read the left column of my "bag ad" again. The left column is all rapport building and about shared anguish.

People will avoid humiliation and rejection at almost any cost.

I Sell Solutions:
My job is easy because I sell SOLUTIONS. The middle column of all of my full page ads shows the SOLUTION to whatever pain I identified on the far left column. Thus, if what I am selling will erase people’s predictable.

Embarrassment or perceived anguish (ever try enrolling someone for instance?) people tend to give me money in their own attempt to SOLVE THEIR ANGUISH.

People buy through emotional impulse before they begin to sort information logically.

Marketing Hypnotism
It’s easier to tap into people’s subconscious when they hear your voice but they can not see the face who is speaking.

That’s is WHY all hypnotist and Doctors ask you to CLOSE your eyes from time to time. Listening to someone’s VOICE (just their voice) can by very hypnotic. Which gives the speaker (me) a chance to sell and re-sell and re-sell the person.

Lesson: I always list a 24 hour recorded message in my ads:

Sensory Acuity
I do this to take people who read my ads from VISUAL to AUDIBLE. These voice-mail Tel-a-seminars introduce an alternate way for them to grasp my message and to feel the offer.

People hate to be wrong.

This is why I use additional links of information in my ad copy. Such as my web-site or a fax-on-demand or my Tel-a-seminars. I do this because I know people. And people can not RESIST the temptation to

"challenge" their own belief in what they just read (remember, people HATE to be wrong), so they will go through all of the INFORMATION ports for one reason.

TO VALIDATE themselves. Plus, before people send me money from the ads that I place they feel COMPELLED to hear my VOICE and to see how I sound and to see if they have made a WRONG decision.

Not only that, but by adding a QUICK LINK (fax-on-demand, voice-mail and web site) system to ANY of your ads, you take the reader into multiple sensory perceptions (sight, sound and touch) regarding your sales message and (USP) your unique selling proposition.

Bind someone emotionally and give them ownership and they almost can never give it back.

When you hear my Tel-a-seminars (15-30 recorded Tel-a-seminars) I do NOT sell anybody. Instead, I induce OWNERSHIP by teaching and exposing what I know.

What this does is give OWNERSHIP to the listener.

So when you hear and then you learn parts of my system via the recorded (sales pitch) Tel-a-seminar people THINK to themselves, "I have to buy Joe’s system so I can USE what Joe just gave (taught) me."

Plus, when you GIVE VALUE people will usually feel compelled (law of reciprocity) to buy from you AFTER you give them value and teach them USEABLE information.

HOPE this is CHANGING your world, (and how you market!)

Your Friend,

Joe Schroeder

What's The Hurry?

What is the hurry in network marketing/mlm? Why are we usually taught when we come in to go so fast and only talk to prospects for a short period of time? Sure, I can understand that there are those that are certainly not worth the 30 seconds we give them, but what about the rest?

Don't those who are looking for a home business deserve our time? I know what many are saying. I need the bonus commissions or what have you now. Don't you agree that the more time that your prospects have to learn about you and your business, the better off you will be. If we let them take their time and feed them knowledge and learning, I think we'd have better prospects and potential business leaders.

We all want to make money in this industry and help change lives, but speed is the wrong way. Do you think any of the largest and wealthiest companies in the world work like what we are taught? Let's take my favorite bookstore, Barnes and Noble, for example. Do they have someone standing in the door waiting for you to come in and help you get what you want and get you out the door as fast as they can? NO! They have coffee shops, tables and chairs, sofas everywhere so that you will take your time looking for what you want. Maybe you'll find more than you were looking for, thumb through it on a sofa and buy more than you originally planned. Genius, isn't it? Think about it the next time you go there.

So, I say, take your business and slow it down. As my mentor, Joe Schroeder, says, "To go fast in your business, go slow. To go slow, go fast." Think about it.

Until next time, slow it down and I wish you the greatest of success. You deserve it.

To learn more from my mentor, call 1-800-772-9781 ext. 40. You'd better be seated.

Have You Been Branded?

Isn't that an interesting title? Have you been branded? Well, have you? Do you even have a clue what I am talking about? Let's discuss this for a moment.

Are you currently involved in network marketing, mlm, direct sales, etc.? What company do you promote? Ah, that's it, what company do you promote? You see if you're like me, I've been involved with network marketing for over 7 years. I was taught the same thing that many of you were. That is to promote and sell the products or the company. That's how you make the money.

This is where the difference between branded and branding comes in. You see, when you walk into a McDonalds' or any restaurant or most anywhere for that matter, what is the first thing you hear? Welcome to .... how can I help you? Right? By doing this, the company is taking their nice hot iron and poking you with it and saying, gotcha now, you've been branded. Pretty much like animals are.

Are you branded or branding? I know from personal experience that I used to be branded. That's right, used to be. I've always promoted company and products first, not me. Yes, I have the t-shirts, polo shirts, jackets, folders, pens, etc. of my company and I love all that stuff. It wasn't until I got involved with the Million Mind March did I realize that I was branded.

How could people join me in my business if I didn't believe in or brand me? If people know you, trust you and like you, then they will join you in whatever you do. The key is that you have to promote yourself. You have to believe that you are a leader that people are looking for. If your prospects were to do a Google search for you, what would they find. Think about it, try it.

Think of some of the biggest names in the network marketing industry. If I gave you one of their names you would probably be able to tell me what company that they are associated with because they have been branding themselves all along.

Those of us involved in this great industry all want success. Are you there yet? I know that I am working on it everyday like most of you. I now know that I have to be branding me. If people see that you are the leader that they've been looking for, then it won't matter too much what company you're with. Think again back to the biggest names in the industry. If you heard that so and so big name was leaving XYZ company to go to ABC company, what would his people do? Most of them would more than likely follow him because he has been branding himself as the leader that people should follow. Happens everyday.

I've gone on long enough, but I hope that you will take what I've put before you and think about it. Are you branding you or are you branded by your company? I look forward to bringing you more insight for you to apply to your business.

Remember, you're the greatest,

Ralph

My Very First Entry!

Hello all!

I'm so happy to finally be getting up to date with technology and starting my first blog. I'm certainly not a writer, nor do I play one on TV. I actually hated having to write in school so I'm going to do my best.

I've been involved with the MLM/Network Marketing world for a very long time. I was actually introduced to this great free enterprise through my parents who were Herbalife distributors. My dad actually got me involved with my first company. I knew from the minute I saw the presentation that this was going to be my destiny.

I've been involved with many companies since getting involved with my first. I just never found anything that stuck or anything that I could relate to. That is, until 2001, when I was introduced to my current company. I started taking the products and knew that this would be the one for me. I started noticing great things once I started taking the products and got involved as a distributor, basically to get a discount.

In January 2006, I entered a company weight loss contest using the weight management product and I finished in 2nd place with losing 17.5 pounds and 7.5 overall inches going from 210 pounds to 192.5 in 90 days. I felt great losing that weight without strict dieting or overwhelming exercise programs. I continue to take these products daily and since the end of that 90 day contest I've lost an additional 17.5 pounds and haven't gained any back. I am still working on acheiving my goal to be able to see my abs by my birthday this year. My birthday gift to my health.

My company introduced a fabulous new product in April that I was lucky enough to be included in the testing panel. This stuff is the best overall health product I have seen. It's main objective is to help those who are trying to lose weight, but don't want strict diets. I actually lost 6 pounds the first 2 weeks on this product. The best thing about it is it not only helps you lose weight, it gives your body much needed antioxidants. That's why I think it is an overall health product.

So, I've been dabbling in the business ever since I got involved and decided early this year to get serious about building my business. I really want to help others who are struggling with health issues and/or financial or dream issues, much like I have. Like Zig Ziglar says, "You can have anything you want as long as you help enough people get what they want."

I'm still learning how to do this business. I've always been a very shy person and now this industry is helping me say goodbye to that. I'm getting better at being me and know that my business will get better in the process. Like I said this is new to me and I just wanted to get this first post under my belt. If you have any suggestions for my blog or my business or if I can help you in any way, just let me know.

Thanks,

Ralph
