Is living in the past killing your sales?

You might be saying, Nicole, I don’t live in the past! 

Well, that’s great but living in the past simply means that we let things that happened to us previously affect the way we live right now.

This happens A LOT with sales.

Think about it, we’re feeling bad because of things that happened to us yesterday, or last week, or 5 years ago in some cases.  

Those past events, no matter how big or small seep into our daily thoughts and those thoughts influence our actions.  

Effectively, this means we’re living in the past.  

Let’s take a really simple example that most of us can relate to:

You’re talking to Jenny, a prospect you met online.  You’ve chatted about life, that you both love dogs, you’ve found common ground and built some rapport so now you feel it’s time to pop the question.

You...

I hear from Network Marketers all the time that “social media just isn’t working for them”, or “I only have 500 followers so I can’t sell online”.  

Well, I have some simple tips that can change the way you market yourself on any platform and have you making real connections in no time, no matter how many connections you have.

I sell online and bring in prospects EVERY DAY using the methods below.  

1. Check your perspective - don’t look at being online as something you HAVE to do.  The energy you bring to anything you do will come back to you.  So, if you show up on social media like it’s a chore you will get that same negative, forced energy back.  Instead, start looking at it like a party or an event where you GET TO make connections.  
2. Take it Online - Online is no different than in real life.  Everything you would do sitting face-to-face with someone can now be done virtually. ...

Are you building a Network Marketing business?

Do you sometimes feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day for you to get everything done for your business?

Are you working more than you thought you would have to in order to achieve your goals?  Or worse, do you feel like you’re not doing the things your business needs to truly succeed?

Don’t worry!  A LOT of people feel this way and there is a simple solution.  Below I share my Top 5 Easy Productivity Tips for Network Marketers.  These simple tips will help you CRUSH the goals you set for yourself and leave you with time to spare.

#1 - Work Blocking

This little trick is so easy to implement and it’s a total game changer!  Work Blocks are 25 minute blocks of time that you set to work on a specific task.  To start a work block you set a timer (I like to use the website www.tomato-timer.com  because block and break times are preset...

Do you have an accountability partner?

How’s that going?

Do you find that you sometimes talk for over an hour and only a few minutes of that time is spent on your goals?

Have you really seen any growth since starting this relationship with your accountability partner?

If you have, GREAT!  You’re ahead of the game and the tips I have for you in this post are going to help you advance that relationship even more.

If you haven’t seen progress from this relationship then you’re really going to be thrilled that you stumbled upon this article.

Accountability partners can be a really valuable resource, but oftentimes they fall into the friend territory where we just catch up and we don't focus on clearly defining our goals and how we plan on meeting them.

So, what makes a successful accountability partner relationship?  

How can you structure those meetings so that they're productive for BOTH of you?
