Better to be Good than Lucky at Social Networking in Business
OK, every once in a while it is a good thing to be lucky. But it is a much better thing to be good at social networking than rely on luck. An approach that is consistent and genuinely beneficial for the parties involved is a much better way to network.
Networking does come fairly easy to some. But to most it is a learned skill. I must say it a skill that takes continual learning. It is not that the game is changing so much. The key is we have to continue to learn to keep reminded and further sharpen our networking skills.
1. Learning helps us gain knowledge we do not have about social networking.
2. Learning helps us regain knowledge we have forgotten about social networking.
3. Learning helps us stay sharp in areas we need to be the best social networkers we can be.
4. Learning increases our confidence regarding social networking.
5. Learning keeps us humble regarding our social networking skills.
Get good at social networking. Being lucky is just not reliable…lol
By becoming a good social networker you can assure yourself that the relationships you build will be genuine. The more genuine relationships we develop, the more opportunity we will have to get ourmessage out.
Special Note: When relationships are developed properly, the people in your network will become your best referral sources.
Stay in the game,

The Danger of Your Sense of Urgency in Social Networking
For years sales trainers have been telling us “you gotta have a sense of urgency or your prospects won’t buy.” And what did most of us do? We mustered up the greatest sense of urgency we could. Believe me I was in the front of the line.
When it comes to sales or social networking online or off line we have to recognize that our sense of urgency to accomplish our goals is secondary to those we are connecting with.
Let me tell you what I discovered about having a sense of urgency in sales. I found that the more my prospects felt my urgency the less I would sell. For months I would express the urgency for my prospects to get on board before it was too late. I would tell them that they would lose out if they didn’t act now. I would share with them that the price is expected to go up and they would definitely have to pay the higher price if they didn’t act now. You name it I tried it. The only thing was it was all to no avail. When it did work, I found my clients canceling after they cooled down after the sale.
Urgency is an interesting thing when it comes to customers. I’ll use myself as an example. About 18 months ago I got the new care fever. I’ve been wanting a Mercedes Benz for about 10 years but I felt the time just wasn’t right. Every time I went to the dealer to look at a Mercedes, the salespeople would all express a sense of urgency that really turned me off. Consequently I never bought the Mercedes. In two distinct shopping experiences in the last 10 years I went to my old dealership and bought another Dodge.
Just about 16 months ago I went to another Mercedes Benz dealership “on a mission” to get my Mercedes. This time things were different. I had the sense of urgency this time. All the salesperson had to do was show me what I wanted to see and follow my lead. What I discovered was that it was my urgency that made the sale.
Here’s my point. When we work with prospects, it is not our responsibility to push them to a place of having a sense of urgency but rather discern how urgent they are and flow with them. When a prospect shows up with a sense of urgency, we will never be accused of manipulating them to do something they didn’t intend on doing. While our own sense of urgency can get us in trouble at times, just remember that the urgency of a prospect is much better than our own in the sales process. They key for us as salespeople is recognizing the level of urgency our prospects have.
As social networkers and salespeople we need to learn to flow with our prospective clients in order to tap into their sense of urgency. When we do so we will end up being heros in their sight because we will have just helped them accomplish their mission.
Until next time,

Recruit,recruit,recruit - Leverage Your Income in Business
Why do brokers and small business owners recruit, recruit, recruit?
Have you ever thought about why some brokers and small business owners recruit so much and others don’t?
There is something to recruiting that you need to know. Here’s the word, “leverage.” Most brokers and small business owners recruit to expand their business without having to do all the work themselves. I am sure you would agree that having more people working for you is smart provided you can train them to be the best they can be. There is one challenge though. Once some salespeople become good, they get this strange idea that it’s time for them to take advantage of leveraging their income. The concept is awesome but there is a big difference between being a salesperson and being a broker or business owner. I mean a big difference! Not all salespeople should be brokers just like not all brokers should revert back to being salespeople.
The reality is that as long as brokers have salespeople they will have a need to recruit because salespeople come and go no matter what. Some go on to different companies. Some go on to start their own companies. And some go on to do entirely different things.
Recruiting is important for various reasons:
1. To build your sales team
2. To find sales managers
3. To discover who you will spend time with
4. To identify your potential competition
5. To stay ahead of your competition
6. To leverage your income
7. To sort out the best candidates
8. To increase your knowledge base
9. To keep current salespeople on their toes
10. To build your data base
When we stop recruiting we fall into a false sense of reality. Things are subject to change. Recruiting keeps us in the flow so that when things do change we are able to flow with the change without having to play the “starting over game.”
OK, Ced but what about the economy? Somebody is going to sell Real Estate. Will it be you or someone else. It’s a recruiters market. The more we have on our team, the more we can offer what is available.
Recruit, recruit, recruit and you can do it in any order you choose to.
Ced Reynolds
p.s. The great thing about my business is that those I recruit are recruiters also. When they choose to leverage their income it benefits me also.
MLM Leads Network Marketing Leads Sponsoring Online with Sponsor Daddy
http://www.SponsoringOnline.com
Sponsor Daddy is a new Internet and Email Marketing System. It is simple to use and explain and very replicable. It is what you need to keep your down line going strong. It will free up a lot of your time now spent marketing in other ways. How does it work and what does it do?
It depends on what you intend it to do. When you join you receive two duplicate websites. One that offers the Sponsor Daddy System to others and one that allows you to offer up to three of your current income opportunities. Let’s say you are already involved in Internet Network Marketing and you are offering people an opportunity to join your Health or Beverage Products.Company.
You would send your prospects to your SponsorDaddy website link. As a member their System will automatically send out emails to 10K opt in leads, people who are interested in joining an income opportunity online. It then follows up on your leads and any prospects and attempts to convert them to sales. So is it just an auto responder service? No.
The first page of the website explains the benefits of joining a home based business, perhaps breaking down any prejudice someone may have against network marketing. It then directs people to you as a potential sponsor and works to build a relationship for you with the prospect. It then works to encourage the prospect to consider your Opportunity or Product. As far as I know, Sponsor Daddy is the first complete system that merges the explanation of the home based industry in general with an automated prospecting and follow up system.
In addition to this, The Sponsor Daddy Marketing System also attempts to interest prospects in itself. The specific site they use for this is SponsorDaddy. This is basically the same website, however, it directs prospects to joining Sponsor Daddy as a business or income opportunity as compared to directing them to your number one income opportunity.
Sponsor Daddy makes it possible for you to earn back your inital Enrollment fee by sponsoring four new members into the program. It also makes it possible for you to earn as much as $10K per week through their Binary Compensation Plan. Obviously, at some point you could potentially earn enough to pay for your monthly plan, thus making the whole system free. The key to this possibility is whether the whole System works. Does it?
As a new member, I can’t say right now. However, as the system is implemented, I will add to this article and answer that question. Will it work? In my opinion, I believe it will. This system is the work of experience. As the site says, Sponsor Daddy is where tradition meets innovation.
What advantage is there to this Marketing Program over others I’ve used? It saves you valuable time. It also puts all your leads and prospects in one single source. It also sends out messages to the leads that come with the system or through the monthly plan (starting at $25.00) that you become a part of. In other words, you join and let the system do most of the work.
This System is especially easy and beneficial for new networkers who don’t know how to use an auto responder, don’t know how to write sales letters, don’t know how to do spam compliant email marketing and probably can’t afford all the built in features separately. What are these?
Video emails, live actors, lead capture pages, tracking and movies. The trends and introduction to Sponsor Daddy clearly explains that this System utilizes all the key ingredients for Marketing through Social Networking and Videos which is the current trend on the Internet. After all, it doesn’t matter if you have the greatest product on earth if no one hears about it or you. Marketing is the key to your financial future. Sponsor Daddy can be your ticket to make it happen.

Social Equity, the best thing about Social Networking
Being sold yourself is of great importance when we utilize social networking in business. There is an acronym that says, “iasm stands for I am sold myself” In fact I think this is true about anything we hope to share with others.
If you can ever get excited about something, getting excited about helping people attain their goals should be high on the list. Our enthusiasm just spills onto people and is very contagious. Can you imagine an unenthusiastic person trying to offer help to somebody? The person with enthusiasm has a tremendous advantage.
One thing I must tell you is we ought not be fooled about enthusiasm. Everybody shows it in a different way but no matter how it is shown it is contagious. I have come across people who were not so overt but they expressed a degree of enthusiasm that just captivated my attention. Then I have come across people who are were extremely bubbly but they really didn’t convey they were genuinely enthusiastic. Enthusiasm comes from the core of our being. It is not something we can fake for long. For me I have to be able to say “I am sold myself.”
I want to encourage you in your business endeavors to be sold on social networking. Believe me it is not a waste of time. We are in the people business and people need each other in various ways. Find yourself getting sincerely involved with your business associates and clients. You will not be disappointed. The relationships we develop over time are assets in our business and our personal life. It is like having “social equity”.
Remember this. Being purposeful about social networking will cause us to reach out beyond our comfort zone. Take a moment and call a client to give them an update and let them know your plans. Take a moment to contact a business associate to give them a lead. Take a moment and reach out today on purpose and develop your social equity.
Are you ready to reach out beyond your comfort zone?

Documentary (Social Networking Online 1)
This was a huge project for my Documentary Media class. It wasn’t requred, but I wanted to show myself that I had filmmaking skillz. I chose to focus on the current trend of online social networking. I included many people, some that I never met before, but it all turned out to be great. A few glitches here and there, but I got an A. A hearty thank you to those who participated. I also wrote a blog: The documentary is finally up, and many apologies for leaving you hanging on. (The people that were in it were those that wanted to see themselves) Doing this project was fun, and a lot of hard work. Probably the toughest part was renting the cameras twice a week and having John (Mass Comm engineer) putting up with me coming in and out of his office. So what’s the documentary about? I wanted to focus on the current trend of online social networking. This was for a class (Documentary Media), and I ended up getting an A in it, partly because of this project. After Dr. Murphy okayed my topic, I went ahead and made a list of what I was going to cover in this film. This was only going to be 13 minutes, which was the limit. I knew it would be tough to cram it all into one, but I think that I did it. Choosing the people to interview was easy. I immediately drew up some names, such as my friend Liz from the radio station (she likes Myspace for the bands), my friend/co-worker Marc (who likes to meet people through groups), and one of my past professors Dr. Tom Foster, who was one of the very few faculty members that used Facebook. Just about everyone agreed to be interviewed, except for Mike Turk, for the obvious reasons. Everyone that I interviewed on-camera provided great nuggets of information, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to include all the great quotes. I realized that this was always a director and producer’s common tough situation, which is choosing the right stuff. I remember doing an interview with Dr. Foster, and it lasted 20 minutes, in which he provided some great details. However, again, I wasn’t able to include everything. Maybe I should make a deleted scenes version? Getting some of the b-roll was another fun part, as I logged in many miles of footage and in my car. I went from Greenville College to Alton to the loop to Larry Flynt’s place (which comes with a funny story, by the way). Sneaking the cameras into the mall was not too bad of a challenge, either. I would like to say many thanks to those who participated in this project. Your part means a lot, and there are those who I met while doing this. To my new acquaintances, like Bogart said at the end of Casablanca, “May this be the great start to a new friendship” Like what David Wark Griffith once said, “History by lightning”….. p.s.: Since I completed this project in April, it’s already showing a sign of outdatedness. During the near-three month period, Facebook added the feature where one can add as many ‘Applications’ as possible. In the film, I said that Facebook is ‘just plain text’ while comparing it to Myspace, which lets people use html and be creative. Thanks to those who took part in this (first part): George Beckett, Dr. Tom Foster of SIUE, Janelle Dobson, Chris Schrage
