To your success!
This is always a question asked by people new to the Seriesse Opportunity or the Network Marketing business. Is it better to recruit online of offline? Well this does depend on what kind of business you are in. Some are more suitable to the internet than others.
The thing about Network Marking is that it must be able to be duplicated. Most sponsors or mentor teach new people the ways that can be duplicated and in some or most cases that is not the best way to grow your business. Now why is this you ask? Well, this industry appeal to anyone some methods of prospecting have minimal cost other can be expensive.
To make the opportunity appealing to everyone you need to have minimal costs, if not a lot of people would not be interested. This is why people are taught make a list and start calling people. Most of us know this does not work very well. On the other hand some people think if they spend big on advertising, buying internet leads, getting a web site, this is how to become successful in a hurry. This does not work very well either.
To be successful with Seriesse International or any network marketing opportunity you need to understand that it is not about selling it is about marketing. If you understand this you have a good chance of success. You business can be successful using online or offline marketing or a good idea is to use both.
A lot of people get put off my contacting due to the fear. Don’t think of it as contacting it is only meeting people. Network Marketing is a people business. It is about building relationships with people. It is about build trust with your potential customers or prospects. If I am using online of offline methods I never try to sell I just build relationships with people until they are ready to do business with me!
It is fascinating to work with different businesses like Seriesse International and to see how they approach their customers. There are those who are on the treadmill, working harder and faster taking in anything they can lay their hands on just to get turnover (the die hards). Then there are those who sit and focus on who makes a good customer and then commit unstintingly to seeking, attracting and converting those that they know are going to take them where they want to go – from financial, production capacity and market share perspectives (the seekers).
What are you? Of course it’s open to debate where the focus should be; externally or internally? I believe it is a balance between the two (and no I’m not sitting on the fence!). Having seen both sides of the coin many times, too much focus in one area leaves your business weak and susceptible in the other and, quite honesty, a ladder with one weak leg is still dangerous – it doesn’t really matter which leg it is!
However with Seriesse or any business, everything starts with who is going to buy your product or service. What do they want, what are their expectations, what is their level of understanding of what you have to offer and are you able (or willing) to satisfy – and exceed – their needs in order to build sustainability in the market place?
When last did you take a look at your customer base and determine how many good customers you have? A good exercise is to do is a quick Customer Grading Matrix. Here are two ways of doing this:
1) Establishing your existing customers’ position against two of your most important criteria:
This first method is good if you have an established client base with regular repeat purchases and want to assess their worth to you as a company. Take a piece of paper and divide it into 4 quadrants making a square. Determine what the X and Y axis are going to be (turnover monthly/annually, payment method, level of useage (units/time/range), loyalty level, location etc. The selected X/Y axis definitions should be the two most critical characteristics you require in your clients in order for them to be “great” clients for you. Then, plot your clients accordingly to see which quadrant each one of them sits. Analyse the picture created and then plan your course of action going forward.
2)Assessing new client potential to select the best clients to add to your books:
This second option is good if you need to increase your customer base and need to ensure you pull on-board more good customers. First, determine the characteristics that you believe make a good client. The same criteria as mentioned above can be used, however, this time create a quick bar chart eg one characteristic per bar (you can have as many as you need). Allocate a set number of “points” per category eg 10, and then rate each client, out of 10, for each of the characteristics you have settled on. When you start making contact with potential clients, mentally run them through your characteristic scoring mechanism (the bar chart) and see how you feel they would rate. If they score 80% or above you know they’re good for you, 60-80% look at what characteristics are pulling them down and determine whether or not these are critical, 50% or less you really need to take a close look to ensure you are not going to be running hard but getting nowhere!
Now, in my situation with Seriesse International or you situation with your business, how often do we find we are putting a lot of time, effort and resources into pulling on board customers who are not good for us in the long term? Our short-term turnover focus blinds us to the long-term value, ROI (Return on Investment) and ROE (Return on Effort).
There is nothing more rewarding than having a sustainable business built on a win/win of you taking your clients where they want to go while they are taking you where you want to go. After all isn’t that what we’re all striving for?
Two years ago, before this great Seriesse International opportunity, I decided to start an online business, never knowing what that would entail. I truly believed the hype of a business running 24/7 by itself. How naive I was.
Essentially an online business does run by itself, once it is set up. However, with Seriesse or any other online businesses there are constant changes. New challenges await the unwary behind every website. Not only does it keep changing and challenging you the business owner, but as your business evolves so do the challenges. How you adapt to these challenges and changes will determine whether your business will succeed.
From my personal experience, once you decide on the home based business you want to involve yourself in, allow at least three months to learn new strategies, for some a new language (computer speak), and to improve the multitude of new things you will be learning to enable you to run your home business. Have patience these first three to six months as they will be over in a blink of an eye; you need this learning curve to succeed. You need to know what you are doing and how you are doing it to start to grasp the concept of your running a home based business, and not chasing the dream of owning one.
Throughout the first year you will be learning every day, but within six months you should start seeing some award for your work in the form of cash! After months of trying and seeing little or no results that first big sale is like an answer to your prayers. It usually happens around the six month mark, but there are no guarantees in business, to some extent it is sheer luck and perseverance. For me it was people telling me I could not make a living working from home. Something about being told I cannot do something has always struck a nerve with me.
If you have reached this turning point you will know that you have chosen the right home business for you.
This is also the time when you think you can sit back and reap the rewards. Not So!
You have started building the business, now you have to add on. Much like you build a building. You have started the foundation, now move on to the upper floors. You need to take a close look at what you have built, and decide what you are doing that is working and what is not. Get rid of or refine what is not. Continue and refine what is.
I check my Seriesse website and my other businesses daily, to see where my sales are coming from. If one product is doing better than another, that product gets more exposure. Do the same with advertising. If you use only free advertising as I do, check your sites several times a week to make sure your ads are getting the exposure you need them to get, if they are not getting any hits, rewrite them. I am constantly looking for new and legitimate work at home opportunities. Many of the opportunities I try out first before I put them on my website to make sure they are what they say they are, if it is something I cannot check out I enlist the aid of a trusted group of people who check the offers out first. There are a lot of scam artists out on cyberspace, unfortunately.
Owning your own home business is a continuing learning experience. It really never ends and the Seriesse opportunity is not an exception.
Look into automation and programs that will help you improve your home based business. The business forums on the Internet are a good source for this type of information. As your profits increase the excitement of that first sale remains, but remember why you wanted a home based business. You need to take some of the profit and put it back into your business either in the form of better advertising, better software, whatever you need to make your business run smoother and faster.
Your home based business will give you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy life. Once you succeed in automating your business, you will be able to choose when you want to work and when you want to play.
Within the first year you will have set up a daily schedule which will give you a routine to your working days, while still maintaining the flexibility you longed for when starting. You won’t be rich yet, but you will be your own boss. At the end of the first year you have made it past the ups and downs of owning your own business, you should be seeing a profit, and you are on track for where you want to be.
I’ve been a Planner all my life, no exception with the Seriesse opportunity. I’ve always loved making lists, organizing my obligations by priority, and making sure all of those little blank spaces on my calendar were accounted for. It was like a game to me: how well could I execute my plan of attack for each day? And I’ll admit, I’ve accomplished a lot using this system. Then, when I was 21, I realized that I knew exactly what I would be doing for the next 50 years. I had become so good at planning, there was no room for surprises. My life had become a series of to do items and long-term goals. So I decided to break myself of the “planning habit.”
One rainy Spring day, I’d had enough. I booked a one-way flight to Ecuador (south america) and said goodbye to my friends and family. No return flight. No guidebook. No hotel reservations… I didn’t even know which direction I would go when I landed in Quito. I spent 4 solid weeks doing exactly what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it - no planning, no scheduling… there were times I didn’t even know which island I would be on from one day to the next. Sponteneity became my guide.
When I returned to the States, I was a new person. My new no-planning attitude provided a sense of zen-like peace. I’d become one of those “hey, I can go with the flow” kind of people. I’d overcome this need to plan every moment of my life. Then somehow, about two weeks after returning to my old structured lifestyle, my planning tendencies took over again. My to do list (what I now refer to as my security blanket) somehow started showing up again, like an old friend. I fought it for a while. I thought, “no way, I WON’T become one of those uptight control-freaks. I want to be spontaneous and fun!” But I couldn’t deny it. It was second nature to me to look ahead a little. I felt more in control, more organized, more prepared for my life when I considered the details and came up with a well-thought out plan for dealing with everything. I’ve accepted that this is just the way I like to do things. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.
Something else I’ve discovered though: there’s ALSO room in my life for being a “Doer”. There are times when thinking through everything gets exhausting. There’s definitely something to be said for just going for it. Not worrying about making mistakes. Not obsessing over every last detail that in the end, usually doesn’t matter anyway. There’s something to be said for allowing life to intervene to take you in a new direction… one that wasn’t planned.
What about you? Are you a “Planner” or a “Doer?” with your Seriesse International business or whatever business you are in. How has being one or the other (or both!) contributed to your life?…Think for a minute!
Why do some people, like Oprah, achieve massive success? What makes some leaders, like Michael Jordan, excel to the top and others like Dewayne Wade rapidly rise? How do you master precision like Tiger Woods?
Leadership, wether is with your Seriesse business or any opportunity does not start with success. You could have been just an ordinary kid, going through a rough childhood, but wanting to be something more. Wanting to be on that train that left the station but you were too busy messing around with the trivia that cropped up and got in your way. Sometimes, in life even when you do the right thing you go unrecognized. Doing the right thing does not guarantee success. Other times you make, what appears to be the best decision at the time, but time changes things and it turns out to be a bad one, putting you in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Achieving success with Seriesse International requires discipline. Doing the right thing sometimes is easier to say than it is to discipline yourself to do, not just for teenagers with a dream but also for adults with a passion - Passion that leads to more than ordinary. WHO WANTS TO BE ordinary?
BE DYNAMIC!
Frankly, you may not be ready for what it takes to be a dynamic leader. Standing in the limelight, you have a lot of pressure to undergo. Leaders with integrity have harder decisions to make. They live in glass houses but they endure because they stand on firm foundations.
Can you weather the storm; come, what may? Is your “integrity closet” clean enough to live in a prism that reflects to the outside world the glamour of your deeds? Dynamic leadership excels through it all. Do you have the tenacity to keep going through the thick and thin of obstacles that get in your way?
Dynamic leaders can reason with the opposition without murdering another person’s right to hold differing points of view – Can You?
Seriesse International and founder super model Jennifer Flavin Stallone creating a lot of buzz in the business world with this brand new opportunity. Now, wether is with Seriesse or any other opportunity, how many times have you heard from independent reps of network marketing companies that their opportunity is a ground floor business opportunity? I’m sure more times than you ever wanted to.
Certainly, everyone seeking a network marketing business opportunity wants to be a part of a company that is relatively new. They all want to get in on the ground floor because they believe that they have a greater chance of achieving success. Network marketers know this and that’s exactly why so many of them promote this as a key selling point.
So what really makes a company a ground floor business opportunity?
Well, according to Dr. Charles King from the University of Illinois companies usually go through four phases of growth. Those four phases are Formation, Concentration, Momentum and Stability.
Formation is when a company is just getting started and it does about $1 million in monthly sales.
Concentration happens when a company transitions to about $5 million in monthly sales.
Momentum occurs when a company expands into new territories and countries or it introduces a new product and it experiences vertical (or straight upward) growth. Momentum can last for about 3 years and that is when most of the top money earners are made.
Stability happens when a company has gone through momentum. However, companies can extend their momentum or even go into another stage of momentum with the offering of new products or expanding into new markets, as previously stated. So, with that being said, the next time someone tells you that their business is a ground floor opportunity, you can now asks specific questions or do a little research to find out for sure.
Once a network marketing has gone through momentum, the chance to experience life-style changing income is not as likely as it may have been in the beginning. Nevertheless, you should not take that to mean that the opportunity is not still a good one. It simply means that most likely you will most likely not earn as much as those who joined and stayed the course from the beginning. The bottom line is that you still can earn a good income. It just may take you a little longer to do it. And there’s the truth my friends and why you should take a look at the Seriesse opportunity!
With Seriesse international or any other network marketing business, many people build their business the old fashioned way. This involved many hours of calling cold leads, talking to friends and strangers and holding countless business meetings with new prospects and business partners. Now that the internet world is here and growing at an incredible speed, many experienced network marketers are finding it much easier to recruit and are building even bigger teams and making double the money than they were before. I am going to show you why doing your Seriesse international business online is a much better and cost effective way to build your organization rather than doing the old fashioned way offline.
1. It’s Affordable
Some of the top complaints among mlm business dropouts is that it costs too much money and they are not making anything to cover the costs. With the Internet your only costs involved are web hosting and registering a domain name. Many advertising methods for recruiting are totally free and very effective.
Lots of today’s network marketing companies like Seriesse even provide you with marketing materials and websites that cut your costs even more so that you don’t even need your own website. Many of the companies are also free to join and give you a very good chance at getting into profit quickly by recruiting only a few people.
2. You Will Achieve Success Faster
When you do business online, you can build an organization much faster because of the viral nature of the Internet and the marketing methods available like lead capture pages and auto-responders to follow up with prospects. You can truly harness the power of leverage that network marketing offer when you take it online. So many things can be achieved in much less time compared to traditional offline mlm companies.
It is very realistic for you to build a downline of thousands of people in as little as a year which would take up to five years with an offline mlm company. Plus many online companies have systems in place that can accelerate your downline growth on autopilot with very little maintenance work on your end.
3. It’s Easier To Keep In Touch With Your Downline
One of the most important factors in succeeding with Seriesse international or any other network marketing business is to make sure that you communicate with your team and make sure that they duplicate your success. With traditional mlm’s it can be very difficult to organize and train every individual in your organization and do it consistently. Not only is it very time consuming but very frustrating and stressful.
With the internet, you have the ability to send group messages to your whole entire organization at once and communicate through e-mail or instant messenger. Seriesse international takes a bigger roll in leadership and offer training and support for team members.
Conclusion
Network Marketing is a tough business like many others, but it does work and if you put in the work effort you will be greatly rewarded with residual income for the rest of your life. With so many things going online from videos, music and business, mlm online is bringing the most dreamed about and asked about subject “Get Rich Quick” closer to reality online. Although there is no “Get Rich Quick” program around, you are one step closer to it by starting a network marketing online business with Seriesse. Many people are finding it easier and more profitable taking their network marketing business online. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Several surveys have confirmed that the main growth of any business using the Internet is in the area of “networking”. Whether is with your Seriesse International business or whatever venture you are in, using the net to route telephone calls, or the use of web sites to discuss things with like-minded people, there is little doubt that “connecting people” is a significant part of the Internet.
Until recently, the only way of being connected was via email. That is mostly one-to-one, has inherent delays and is also limited in what you can achieve. Nowadays, you can share text, audio and video using social networking sites. These are not one-to-one, but many-to-many and are also immediate. That has significant appeal for many Internet users.
In a sense, what we are now witnessing online is what has happened offline for centuries. Groups of like-minded people are getting together, chatting, swapping information, passing on useful ideas and products and having a good old gossip. With the interconnectivity offered by many web sites nowadays you can achieve all this online without having to go out in the cold weather!
But for those people trying to earn money online, it’s good to understand the fact that there is this essential human need for people to interconnect when online. If your business web site doesn’t have any means of interconnection, you are less likely to attract the modern Internet user, who sees interaction as fundamental. No longer can your business rely on an email address or a “contact us” form.
These days you need to allow your Seriesse web site visitors to interact with you AND with each other. That means you need a forum, for instance, or at the very least a blog where people can comment on what you’ve written. You could also do with the ability for people to add content to your web site, such as articles or video clip. Such features in a business web site will help create a sense of belonging, of identity.
In the future a good business web site will be one where a community of people meet together to discuss what the business offers. No longer can you afford to have a static, brochure style web site. Internet users in the modern broadband connected world want interactivity. If your web site doesn’t offer some kind of interactive feature, you will lose out to competing web sites that do.
