Logo Design Tips
Logos can be described as visual icons that provide a unique identification element to a business or product. Logos provide quick visual recognition of a Company which in-turn builds branding. Business owners and overly enthusiastic artists can often go astray in their efforts to design the perfect logo. There are too many examples of logo designs that look uninspired, overtly abstract or seem to be nothing more than whimsical art. Many of these logos are designed without forethought into usage, application or even cost impact upon a business. So how do you create a logo that makes business sense? Consider following a few simple guidelines:Remember that your logo is a business tool. Your design concept should begin with a commitme

The competition didn't stand a chance. Ray's system was like a greased chute. You turn it on, and it churns out a predictable end result every time.

So, as a network marketer, selling a business franchise, what are you selling to your potential buyers? Unfortunately, you are probably trying to sell them on your company and your product. (A"mine-is-better-than yours-burger-with all the trimmings").

Do what Ray did. People get rich in this world by solving other people'sproblems, and when you sell someone your opportunity, you are not solving a problem, you are giving them a BIGGER ONE!!! "Yeah now you got yourself the hottest progra

Customer Service and Conservative Political Conversations
Small Business Owners are some of the greatest Americans in our land and no one can debate that. They work harder than everyone else, do what they say they are going to do and get the job done for all the rest of us; God Bless the Small Business men and women of this great nation. Of course even with that said, we also find that most small businesses are amongst the most opinionated as well. In fact sometimes their opinions get them into trouble with customers of different opinions. Why is this you ask?Well, it is simple really, you see Small Business Owners have to battle the bureaucracy, read tape and all the insanity of ridiculous rules and regulations. They have to pay lots of taxes and have their hands tied often due to incessant lawsuits

There are typically two primary reasons why people fail in a network & affiliate marketing business... These are of course, after you kick out the tire-kickers, looky-loos, lazy bums, dreamers, excuse makers, whiners, and complainers. In other words, the quitters.

Network marketing is a business of business ownership, pursued by people who have never been business owners!

It's a business of marketing and training pursued by people who have never marketed or trained!

So, back to our two reasons for the hard-working, dedicated brothers,sisters,father and mother of the wonderful industry...

1: They start on a limited budget from the 'Jelly bean jar', and they run out of money before they have a chance to build an organization.

2: They make their list of 100 warm market contacts, run through those, and then they are out of people to talk to. (And out of money to advertise).

Those are the 'biggies'.

But it don't have to be that way, IF, they simply used a complete business model.

Let me explain...

Take a look at McDonald's. They are a Billion Dollar franchise. The most successful and duplicated business model in the world. And one that happens to be run by teenagers ,college drop-outs and retirees!

How? Why?

The answer can be found in the system that makes up the foundation of the franchise.

Do you ever feel like you bought a business in a box, but that a few parts might be missing? You know... The pieces that actually turn your actions into "production". Well, if you feel like that, it's because you're right.

Ray Kroc, the franchise master of McDonald's was a genius in more ways than one.

MLM & affiliate marketing has been compared to a McDonald's franchise in many ways, on many occasions. If you haven't come across these comparisons before, I'm sure you can quickly think of a few on your own.

Here is what you may not have realized about Ray, McDonald's, and your business... Ray's primary mission was to sell McDonald's franchises to franchise buyers

Pretty simple.

Our job as networkers is no different. We sell our franchise opportunity to others, and collectively market the product to the end consumer.McDonald's food sucks. It's about as far from good, fresh, quality food that you can get.

Yet it's the largest and most successful franchise and fast food restaurant in the history of human kind. How in the world is that possible!? How can you become #1, by selling an inferior product?! It goes against everything we think we know about business.

Well, this is exactly where the genius of Ray Kroc becomes apparent.

Ray knew the product wasn't going to be the initial key to success for his franchise buyers, just as your product is not the initial key to your success in your MLM or affiliate business. Having a good product is important after the fact...Once you actually have customers. Then it's critical to give them the best product possible. The key to McDonald's success with both franchise owners and customers, was their duplicatable system.

Ray sold them EXACTLY what they wanted,which wasn't a restaurant, but a machine that acquired customers, and turned them into cash.This is what all our friends or your prospect wants. Don't sell them the food,product or courses. Introduce them a system that generate money like McDonald.

In fact the system was so fine-tuned, that you could take a team of unskilled, inexperienced high school kids, and have them run the show.All they did was train each other on how to flip the switches, that ran the machine, which did the majority of the work behind the scenes. The competition didn't stand a chance. Ray's system was like a greased chute. You turn it on, and it churns out a predictable end result every time.

5 Secrets to Managing Your Sales Manager Productively
Many people believe that the main reason for representatives leaving their organisation is that of money in that they leave for a bigger salary. In fact, the biggest reason why people leave organisations is that the role they are doing is no longer offering any challenge or excitement. The second reason is due to the behaviour and capability of the immediate line manager. More often than not, the two are strongly linked with the manager taking little interest in the representative’s development and as such the representative feels under valued and bored due to the lack of attention and challenge.Often the blame is laid at the manager’s door, but the representative must take a share of the responsibility also. The trouble usually arises when e

Managing: New Managers are Usually Too Hard on Themselves
Moving from staff into management for the first time is exciting—but it can also be scary.There’s so much you don’t know. Somehow managing looked so easy from the outside, but now that you actually have to do it, you realize it’s more complicated than you thought. Before, you had certain tasks to accomplish and you knew you had the skills to do them. You still have responsibility for those tasks, but now you have to see that the work is done effectively by other people. That’s a whole new task in itself, and you’re not sure you’re up to the job.You also find that it’s hard to concentrate on the planning that is such an important part of managing, because emergencies large and small seem to arise all the time and people kee

Advertising Market from a South African Perspective
Advertising and marketing in the South African market is one of the toughest in the entire world, just for starters 22 different languages can be identified in our market. You might say this is common in many countries the world over. But do they have 11 official languages as is the case in South Africa.Capturing a broad market in South Africa is virtually impossible unless you have an internationally acclaimed product, something that has built up a reputation overseas either in the USA or European markets. This is not to say our own big brands have not captured a broad South African audience or an international market but they a few and far between.Our advertising and marketing techniques in South Africa must be simple yet effective if

Internet Marketing For Small Businesses
Business history has an abundance of instances of business failures on account of lack of proper marketing planning. It is extremely important in the case of Internet marketing to plan marketing strategies properly. Marketing planning provides the framework for all business decisions of an enterprise – decisions on markets, decisions on products and decisions on manufacturing facilities, investments and organizational structure.Marketing planning is the interface between the enterprise and its market/customers. Internet marketing places the consumer at both the beginning and the end of the business process and that any firm practicing marketing in the proper sense has to identify correctly the needs of the consumer, translate the needs into su

Product and comp plans don't make you successful. Systems do. And when I say systems, I mean a COMPLETE system which includes the pieces that bring in your customers (ads), sell them your product (marketing), and then train the new business owners, and develops the relationships within the them.

These machines (ads and marketing) should be doing the work for you. All you need to do is push the 'Go Button' and become buddies (customer service,cashiers) with the folks who come through the system. Not because you are unskilled or lazy, but because a system is duplicatable and you are not.

Your job is not to sell, but to BUILD RELATIONSHIPS,because THAT is they glue that binds this industry.

Take this advice to heart: A system that is not backed up and glued together by a heart, by people, by relationships, is a ticking time-bomb. Show them and sell them a system for attaining the results they want, be a mentor, friend, and a coach, and they could care less about ORAC values, price points, and competition. Let me share with you I bring people every week into my business, and they have NEVER even seen a company/opportunity overview! That happens because I don't sell them on the business. I sell them on me, our team, our system first (because these are the ONLY things that will bring results), and THEN, I sell them on the company... (Or should I say that I allow them to sell themselves on the company).

Solve their problem with your system and with your leadership. Do these two things, and you will reap success beyond your wildest dreams. See you at the Top.

Build a fortune in The Window Cleaning Business. A one person operation can make upto $500 per day, expanding exponentially when you want it to. Most commercial buildings don't have window cleaners washing their windows. The reason for this is there aren't enough window cleaners out there to fill this shortage.
