MyPhoneRoom

Here is the best example that I can think of to describe the strength of MyPhoneRoom:Show and Tell - Demonstrating is Always Better Than Verbalizing!I was doing a weekly call with one of my partners of my bizopp. We were discussing our numbers, whether we acheived our goals or not and some of the people in our organization.

There is no better way to describe the strength of MyPhoneRoom:

Show and Tell - Proving is Always Better Than Verbalizing!

I was conversing with one of my partners of my bizopp. We were talking about our numbers, whether we acheived our goals or not and some of the people in our downline. We reviewed which new distributors we wanted to put our marketing efforts behind and which ones still
needed to show us they were serious. He started complaining about how he could not get
his people to contact the sales leads we gave them. I reminded him that he was the same way, when I enrolled him. He just giggled.

There was an uncomfortable quiet. I interrupted it by asking him if he held onto the email I sent him, with my statistics from last month. He said of course. I asked
him to go check his email box for my statisitics for this pay period and to get back to me when he had an opportunity to compare them.

Then I hung up the phone and waited.

After about an hour, my phone rang. It was him. He just kept repeating "Dang, man"! After a few of those, he finally asked me what happened to get my numbers up in my other leg?

I just said, "MyPhoneRoom".

Then, I told him to go check his email box again and call me, when he finishes going overthe online presentation. He called back, not thrilled at all that I had not presented this to him sooner. I apologized! He insisted on signing up right then. I asked him not to for now and told him that it would all make sense tomorrow.

The Less You Say, The Better!

Now, up to this point, all I did was send him to a website...

He called too doggoneearly the following day. He told me about the follow up call he got, on my behalf, from my personal telemarketer at the MyPhoneRoom call center. He raved about how comfortable my personal acount representative made him feel about how MyPhoneRoom could help expand his business. But, the best part was that he kept telling me about how my representative edified me.

Then I asked him a question. "Do you feel your organization will get as stoked about MyPhoneRoom as you are"?

Silence from the other end of the phone. He got it!

He saw that I did not interview him. I didn't qualify him. I didn't have to detail the benefits to him, either. I, simply, put him in the MyPhoneRoom system and the system sold him.

All I did was giftwrap the package!

There is NOTHING more powerful, than confidence and will. I know what my strong points are and I know what I am not so good at. And, I am uncomfortable on the telephone, if I am trying to qualify you. Working the telephone, in
Network Marketing, is a skill. Unfortunately, it is an imperative skill, if
you are going to function in our industry. Until now, that gift defined who succeeded and who failed.

But thanks to MyphoneRoom, those days are over!

I upload my list of prospects. I send an email to my Support at the call
center. That email has the name of my program, my script, the website that I want my prospects to go to for my online presentation and instructions about what to do, if the prospect is qualified and interested.

THAT is the only time I will speak with the prospect.

Can you do that? Can you teach the members of your organization to do that? How impressed will your recruits be, when they realize you have a method that will handle all of their prospecting for them? Heck, they are certain it works. They
just signed up! And it takes away their fear of prospecting.

I hate cold calling. Most of the people that I know do, too. But, I am making a living, doing something I love and I am able to sign up more people, because I can wipe out one of the greatest obstacles to MLM success - the Fear of the Phone!

Maybe, that's not your issue. But, I will bet you know people, who struggle with it. Perhaps, they are in your business right now. Close your eyes for a sec. Just walk with me through this vision. I have to ask you, what impact would it have on you, if your organization started recruiting like professionals? How many more signups a month do you think a system, like MyPhoneRoom, is worth per distributor, in your organization. What if everybody in your organization just added one new person per month?

We are receiving much better results than that! But. let's just go with one new distributor per month per person. What would that do to your business? How about, if each person in your organization could add one per week? Tell me what do you see? I'll tell you what you see...

You see wishes coming true! You see happy people, willing to work AND share with others, because the fear of the phone is gone..

Let MyPhoneRoom take your home business to the next level!

graphic design

The World Wide Web has come a long, long way from the brief time that it first came into existence. From the moment that it was first developed to keep researchers located from different universities connected to each other through their computer networks, it has since spread out to connect people online from different parts of the globe using their own computers.

Web Design History

Author: Wes Towers

Along these lines, the potential of the Web spread and provide information has led to the development of hundreds and hundreds of websites. In a matter of years, these websites have significantly increased to thousands in such a short span of time. Now, websites available online number in the millions. It just shows you how the Web enjoyed such incredible growth in such a period of time, fueled by the fact that it has the ability to connect a single entity (business, organization, government) or individual to a larger audience than ever before.

Business on the Web

But just as the World Wide Web develops, so does the way that people online do things. Many people have discovered the Web as a wonderful opportunity to do business. Setting up a website gives you an opportunity to enter into a market with a global audience. You are now able to reach out to a market bigger than you ever thought possible.

The World Wide Web has enabled even the small businesses to conveniently establish a presence in a global market that was once just reserved for the big guys. By opening up a website, you now can sell your products to people not only from your neighborhood but also from the far reaches of the planet, as long as they are connected online.

Sheer Numbers

But then, with the growth of the Web comes also the development of websites. With the many opportunities that abound on the Web, millions and millions of websites have since made their own stake in this rapidly growing online world. Websites previously only established themselves to provide something of worth to an early global audience

But now, websites have to compete with hundreds of other websites for attention from their audience. Their success now depends on just how effective they are in convincing and persuading the people that do visit their websites. Good web design has a lot to do with this.

Powerful, way of success.

Skilful business writing involves getting your message across simply and quickly. This often means writing in a style that is easily read and understood by a broad audience.

The Secret to Good Writing

Author: deepika563

Skilful business writing involves getting your message across simply and quickly. This often means writing in a style that is easily read and understood by a broad audience. Yet, writing simply is often difficult for most of us. Why? The answer lies in our school education. We learnt that if we used big words and complex sentences, we were more likely to get an ‘A’ by our English teacher or University lecturer. The education system taught us that people who use a broad range of vocabulary are more intelligent that the rest of us. There is nothing wrong with writing beautifully pieces of prose that feature a stunning range of vocabulary knowledge. However, such writing is unsuitable for a business market. No business manager has the time to wade through material that meanders and weaves before a point is made. They are even less likely to have time to grab a dictionary to work out what the writer is trying to say. When I used to work as a market research consultant, I had the impossible task of trying to write market research reports that seemed interesting. My immediate response was to write a report that would make my University lecturer’s proud. Sadly, my colleagues all felt the same way. It wasn’t until we had a business writing consultant come in to train us about how to write at the level of a Year 8 student that we realised the folly of our ways. Using my newly found skills of writing a report using simple English, I proudly produced my ‘easy on the brain’ report to my manager (who missed the writing class). He told me ‘You write like you talk’. To this day, I still don’t know if he was criticising my talking or writing ability, but I gathered either way he wasn’t happy. However, from a communication point of view, this style of writing is perfect for getting your message across quickly. Later on in my career, I worked at a company that prided itself on its easy to read reports. While this was true (to some degree), one of the directors loved to throw in a difficult word in every report he wrote to make the marketing manager reach for his dictionary. He thought this was really clever and that his clients would be in awe of his knowledge. I’m guessing his clients thought he was a tosser (interestingly, I met an ex-client years later who told me that when their company received one of his reports they would quickly scan it to find the unusual word and then erupt into hysterical laughter). Articles that are written to impress your audience about how clever you are, do nothing more than distance them. No matter how learned your market is, they still prefer to read information that is easy to digest. A great way to test whether your writing is easy to comprehend is to read it out loud. If someone spoke to you, using those words, could you instantly understand what they were getting at or would you have to really concentrate? Scripts for marketing videos are no different. In fact, they need to be extremely simple in order to quickly grab the attention of people walking past at a trade show, for example. Writing that is heavy on technical terms and jargon can be a real turn off. The beauty of a marketing video is that it uses both pictures and words. The saying “A picture tells a thousand words” is a powerful concept with corporate movies. It means you can actually get away with saying less, but easily get your message across, because the pictures do all of the talking. Surprisingly, clear writing can be quite a difficult writing style to master, but the effort is well rewarded. And look at the bright side, at least people won’t burst into fits of laughter when they read your masterpiece. (c) Marie-Claire Ross 2005. All rights reserved.

First of all, I would like praise you for doing a little homework.

Not only will you be better educated in directing the image of your company, but you will also learn how to get the most out of your company image.

I want to discuss logo design in general.

A logo should be easy to read and easy on the eye.

Lets look at some of the national brands, that we all know and recognize: AT&T, McDonalds, Nordstroms, etc. Maybe you have even heard of Starbucks...... and I bet you could recognize their cup lying on the side of the road!

We all know what the company is, even if we only see a portion of the name or logo.

Each is easy to read and recognize. Many also adhere to a certain theme of colors.

This is called "Branding" or Brand Identity.

It permeates every aspect of the business from cards, to cups, to buildings, to vehicles, to advertising.

Sounds simple enough!

How do we build brand identity for your business?

Font:

First, make sure that your name is legible.

The script, tribal, or gangster font might look cool, and even go with the image of the business that you are in. BUT, to be honest, if a potential client has to decipher the puzzle, just to find out who you are and where to find you, they are most likely to go with someone else, a more recognizable name.

Colors:

Colors may have more of an impact on a person's impression than you may think.

Are there any colors that you can readily associate with your type of business? Perhaps the image that you are trying to portray?

Lets look at an example:

You are opening a day spa. The basic premise for a day spa is what? Relaxation, tranquility, and so forth.

We want to relay this message in the colors and tones that we use. Red, bright orange, bright yellows (what we refer to as "hot" colors) won't work well to relay the "feeling" that we are trying to present. How about softer tones of greens, earthtones, maybe a splash of gold for that upscale, pampered touch. Skulls, flames, and tribal graphics...... probably not a good idea! But then again, maybe that is just the "odd" approach that you may need to make your business different.....or attract the client base that you are marketing to.

What type of "feel" do you want your company to have?

Sophisticated and professional? Fun and whimsy? Energetic and exciting?

Get the picture?

Now that you have come up with a basic look or feel for your design, how does it translate to the rest of your business?

Will it work for letterhead? Business Cards? Window Signs? Vehicle Graphics? Web site? Pens? Shirts? ........

Bottom Line:

To get the most out of your logo (and design dollar), make sure that your logo is fitting to your business and image. Make sure that it can be used for more than a fancy business card.

Design does not have to cost an arm and a leg, but quality will surely have an impact on your business.

Make sure that your "graphic designer" truly has your company's best interests in mind, not the quick lining of his pocket book. Don't settle for the "I'm the designer, therefore I know" attitude.

If something does not look quite right, don't be afraid to ask "why?".

Why did you choose those colors?

Why that font?

Why that layout?

You may even end up teaching them a thing or too.

How to make your personal userbar

Author: Frederick Young

Our age can be definitely named the age of web with its enormous opportunities among which different social networks are to be searched out. You may search out a great amount of things on the above mentioned forums as, for instance, avatars, glitter graphics, gifs and userbars. The latter are little images applied in signatures. You can without any difficulties search out these userbars in web. There exist a great number of resources providing them gratis. To make the quests of userbars more simple all of them are organized into categories. You may pick up such Harry Potter Books Fan in the category Literature. Although supposing you have defeated to search out the desirable userbar there is a chance to make your exclusive custom userbar.

Inventing of a userbar starts from electing the style or the logo you want to use in your userbar. When you have chosen it you should go to Photoshop with the help of File->Open. After that click on Select->All, Edit->Copy Merged and next elect File->New, press ok and select Edit->Paste. After that you should evolve the picture from the background. You may without any complications fulfill it with the help of eraser tool. It can happen in such a way that you perhaps wish to modify something if the tool does not delete the background properly. In such case you should go on making efforts till you will not be satisfied with the results of the erasing. After that elect Select->All, Edit->Copy Merged, open a new picture by electing File->New, and elect ok and after that Edit -> Paste. It is recommended to store the picture by electing File->Save As and saving it as a psd. Provided you wish to alter the size of the picture you should select Image->Image Size and diminish the height to about 40 pixels. After that elect Go to Select->All, Edit->Copy Merged, File->New, modify the resolutions to 300 pixels (width) and 19 pixels (height) and select ok. Install the picture by electing Edit-Paste and then make a new layer by pressing Shift, Ctrl and N at the same time, enter "BG" and press ok. Shift the "BG" layer under the other layer by pushing the left button of the mouse, pull over the BG layer under the other layer. After that elect the Eyedropper Tool, select the color you fancy, push X.

After that elect the gradient tool. Supposing you can not look at it press the right button of the mouse on the color tool and choose the slope tool. Then press and pull over the cursor from the head of the picture to bottom. You should have a cute gradient at present.
Elect the layer comprising the style, make a new layer by pressing Shift, Ctrl and N at the same time, enter "lines" as its title and press ok. After that elect the color tool, choose "Pattern" and the diagonal lines. It is better to check up that the conditions are the same and press on the picture then. When the "lines layer" is selected decrease the opaqueness to about 13%.
As you can conclude the procedure of creating a userbar is not so simple, that is why it is much better to search out the desirable one in web as, for instance, such Fire Userbar.

Press the right button of the mouse on the layer enclosing the style in the layers window and elect Blending Options. Choose Outer Glow and install the conditions. After that download a pixel print and store it. After that elect the Horizontal Type Tool, enter the words at dimension of around 8 pixels. Then press the right button of the mouse on the words layer and elect Blending Options. Select "Stroke" and use the appropriate conditions. Elect the Elliptical Marquee Tool and pull over the cursor from the left corner to the right one under of your future userbar. Elect the layer with words and create a new layer with the help of Layer->New->Layer. Push D; choose Select->All, Edit Stroke. Store a psd by electing File->Save As and then store a png for usage on web with the help of File->Save For Web.
Well done! Be pleased with your beautiful excluxive userbar or just elect the desirable one as, for instance, such High Voltage in the net!

trade show,displays

Does your company still use the same old trade show booths and displays you have used for years, mostly because of budget concerns? Times are tight for everyone when it comes to money, but your presence at the shows does not have to suffer because of it! Here is some information you need that will help you make certain that your next trade show is a huge hit.

Trade Show Booths & Displays That Create a Memorable Impression

Author: Joel Mclaughlin

Think about it this way. If you are attending these events using worn out equipment that makes no impact, you are not drawing the potential new customers and profits that you should be. Trading off a little of your budget for new displays will certainly help to draw attention to your company's presence, which will in turn lead to new customers. Profits will increase, quickly replacing any money you spend on new equipment. Isn't the trade well worth it?

Now you can find trade show booths and displays that are of the highest quality, but priced for any budget. How can this be? Companies who keep their overhead costs low can afford to sell high quality exhibits for less money, simply because they do not have the expenses that other companies may. This means lasting quality for you, at substantial savings.

Of course custom displays are more costly than some other options, but they are also a popular choice simply because of the attention they are capable of attracting. Vibrant colors, elaborate designs and attention to details make all the difference. When you want to draw the attention of every single person who attends the show, this is the way to go.

You can achieve your desired effect with other trade show booths and displays as well. Truss displays are easily assembled with no tools, and can be created into a variety of unique shapes and sizes. They enable you to have a very powerful look and are so durable that they will last for years. If you are after a look that is impressive and dynamic, this is a great option.

When you need to keep costs to a bare minimum, you can still create a presence that is attention-grabbing and memorable with pop-up and tabletop displays. Sometimes, the details and effects you add to your display is what makes the difference between a ho-hum exhibit and one that draws the eyes of everyone who attends. Is your company budget conscious? Most are, however you can achieve a memorable and lasting impression when you choose the perfect trade show booths and displays.
