2 Eye-opening Network Marketing and Music Business Quotes

I am sharing this quote with you because it accounts for about 30% of the internal searches for my blog, as measured by Alexa.com

1. The early pioneers of both wellness and network marketing were motivated by the sense that it was possible to create a better life than the conventional routes offered – better personal health and better economic health, respectively. Now the ‘alternatives’ of yesterday have become the economic powerhouses of today and tomorrow.

He also is known as an economist in Google and has dealings with the Insurance. industry  His goal is( as afar as I can tell from my limited research) to help people in group plans break away from that and take care of their family the right way.

2. By monitoring the activity taking place on social networks, retailers can amplify successful marketing and sales strategies and avoid weak tactics which can later be tied back to organizational objectives.

   So true.  Take a look at the top people in your industry, because your prospects, people interested in your business because of a  1) pain, 2)fear they will be in pain, or 3) an unaccomplished gain, or 4) an impending event in their lives(change of some sort they want to be financially ready for) are doing just that. 

   If they do not have one of the four things stated above they are not really prospects. Be social with them but no that right now, and this can change, but right now they are not going to buy what you are selling, because they do not want it or need it.

    

   People looking at your business want to see how you measure up.   They also want to see that you are a real person.  But, don’t over do it.  Staying on facebook all day ,does not produce income for your business, unless you know the techniques that exist to do that.   Be on social networks enough to see and be seen, and then focus on income producing activities.

   I recommend, and I learned this from Tracey Walker(listening to the Inner Circle Audios ask me about those in the comments below) that you “never try to measure yourself by anyone else.” 

   Create your dreams, do what your mentor(s) tell you in the beginning of your business, until you start to figure it out, and you will.  

   Market research is the first step in any business.  Ask yourself, “Who do I want to sell to?”  In business you either sell a product or service.  They are either your creation or someone else’s.  That is how you make your living.

    

   Once you get crystal clear on that one area of your business you will start to see positive results that last.  You can always fool the system, but eventually it catches up with you.  Learn who you are really selling to and you will not spend more than you should on paid advertising.

    

   Believe that and stay at it until you figure out the science of being in business online or offline. It is a science that can be learned, it just involves the psychology of people.  Remember you are always selling to a person.  Help them buy. People hate change in their lives because change represents pain. Their compelling reason(s) for working with you have to be greater than the pain of change.

   I learned that from my mentors Dan Kreutzer and Robert Lambert of The Samurai Business Group

   You can use search  engines(Google, Yahoo, Bing)or social media to do this or both. This would fall under market research of the three areas of gaining market share namely: market research, marketing strategy and tactics, and having the right people to carry out the strategy.    test, measure, tweak and scale up your activity to monetize.  It should take no more than 30 days to evaluate anyone tactic or idea for gaining market share or more sales in your business.

   You want to:

   1) research your target audience

   2) know what your competition is doing

   3) become unique to the marketplace because you understand what is being done in it.

    

   This is how you capture market share in Your company or Industry.  With that said when you are just getting started

    

   Success From People Speaking On Stage Leaves Clues.

    

3. For the music business, social networking is brilliant. Just when you think it’s doom and gloom and you have to spend millions of pounds on marketing and this and that, you have this amazing thing now called fan power. The whole world is linked through a laptop. It’s amazing. And it’s free. I love it. It’s absolutely brilliant.

   Simon Cowell
   I have been really surprised at the number of musical people that are searching for ways to make money with their craft online.  Simon is spot on with this trend.  Free, well maybe, but more like greatly reduced expenses.  Nothing is truly free in business.  There is a cost to doing business.  When your costs are less than your income you are in profit. 
   That is what being in business is.  Growing profits as big as you can get them.  Do not worry about being greedy.  The marketplace will monitor that.  It will crush you like a bug when you are too greedy.  It will reward you beyond your wildest dreams when you are providing value to it.
