Business Franchise- The Big Cover-Up

Thursday, August 27, 2009

Business Franchise: The BIG Cover-up

Shaklee has added a new earnings program to our already lucrative compensation plan!

It's called Fast Track and it can produce up to $34,000 in your bank account over the next 15 months. So why do I call it a 'cover-up'? .....Because I've done the figures and what it can really produce is $100,000.00 over your next 15 months. That's right, (ask me I'll get you the company information) and you can figure it up for yourself.

Yes, I know... you've heard it all before, probably even joined with a few companies that promised huge incomes right away without any work on your part or at least just a minimal part....of course there is always a membership and a charge for these services. That's to be expected isn't it? If you don't want to work, but just collect money, you'll pay a price. Only problem is, I get calls from people who have tried this only to find out it really isn't that simple, and by the time they've learned this, they've lost quite a bit of money.

Their question to me about Shaklee usually goes like this - "I'm tired of the hype, just show me what if anything I can expect from Shaklee if I join the business!" or "Be upfront with me, what do I stand to lose?" or "Can you prove to me your business works before I venture into it, because if I lose money again my wife/husband won't be happy!" or I just don't have hours to commit to a business right now, is there some way I can work this into my schedule and actually start earning some money now?"

If your question wasn't in that list - please submit it to me, because I'd be happy to answer it!

Meanwhile, think about this, thousands of Shaklee independent business partners have been receiving checks from Shaklee for 53 years, since Dr. Shaklee founded the compay. I've been receiving checks over 12 years, and they've never missed a month, nor made an accounting mistake.

In August 2007, we were given another way to earn, over our basic 3 way compensation plan, and we all thought that was great. Then in August 2008, despite the down spiraling economics in our country, we were given earnings #5 - Tru Infinity, and they weren't kidding about the infinity part! My earnings jumped 30% the following month!

Now in August 2009, Shaklee has added two more ways to earn to our compensation plan. Despite sad economic news that seems to beat on people daily....Shaklee has had 18 consecutive months of upward growth, and when Shaklee grows, our checks show that growth! In the past couple of years we've had more young people (20's & 30's age bracket) becoming financially free. People just like you or your kids, with young families and debts. People working way over 40 hours a week yet still treading water or even losing ground.

So I guess the question comes down to, what do you want to do about your life? Are you willing to check out one more possibility, get the facts, ask your questions? Are you willing to do what many of us at Shaklee do - W O R K. You will have to work for your future, but that work can be a lot of fun, and have a great benefits with it - for example: a week long Caribbean Cruise on the Carnival Dream. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E99FAA44552F84D0

Check out the information at: http://barefootsuccess.net then contact me. Explain what your doing and ask your questions. Let's talk and see if Shaklee and our team is a good fit for you - before you lay any membership money down. Then if you're ready to start a business that can make your dreams - realities, maybe even add some that you never thought you could even hope for... I can help you get started right away.

As part of our Business Franchise Team you are in business FOR yourself, but not BY yourself. Partner with us, join our Fast Track team, and enjoy the ride!

Business Franchise and Social Media: Does it Work?

Wednesday, August 05, 2009
Right now, small businesses have a huge advantage over big business in actually being able to convert social media conversations into dollars and cents. Here’s why:

Small business:

  • Can be less censored – They don’t have to wade through layers of social media do/don’t policy and legal sign-off on every tweet, update, post or comment. And, in social media, people respond to real and spontaneous. So, it’s much easier to build the conversation
  • Can have a personality – All too often, the voice of the company that filters through to social media is almost entirely devoid of personality. People connect with color, business proper gray.
  • Only needs to connect with hundreds or a few thousand, not hundreds of thousands or millions – If a small business connects with a few thousand people, that could make a huge dent in it’s business, making it worth the effort. A large business may need to connect with millions to feel the same impact and that may well not be worth the effort from an ROI standpoint
  • Can tap into local energy, events, traditions – By having a shared experience based on the local community, it’s a lot easier for people to bond with the voice of that business
  • Can implement instantly and tailor highly relevant offers – When it’s one person behind the mic, it’s way easier to carry on a real, spontaneous conversation and also create an ongoing series of highly local, highly-relevant and time-sensitive offers that will convert followers into customers.
So, if you’re a small business or entrepreneur and you’ve been wondering about the value of this wacky thing called social media, fact is you’ve got a huge advantage over large corporations right now. You have the ability to actually convert time spent on social media into money in the bank. And, have a lot of fun doing it.

Case Study: Mountainbike Madness

Mountabike Madness is a bike shop run by two college friends, Mario and Eva. It’s a real business with a great product and it’s growing nicely. But they’re always interested in finding new ways to get customers to the shop. Along with trying out street teams, the local pennysaver, mailings, sandwich boards and a bunch of other marketing ideas. Eva gets the idea to start to play around with twitter.

Actually, she already had a personal account. So did Mario, so they’re familiar with the nature of conversation in the communities, because they’re already regular users. So, they set up a Mountainbike Madness account and use Mario as the name associated with the account.

They use twitter’s search function and a number of other tools twice a day to find people in their neighborhood who either have some variation of the word bike in their profile or their tweets. They broaden it out to various forms of outdoor activities, too. They see what these potentially likeminded folks talking about, then follow them and join in the conversations they are having.

They also start to share all sorts of funny, quirky, edgy quotes, ideas, and stories. And, here and there, they throw out tweets about instant giveaways for the first person to tweet their favorite rider, grip or trail. They do daily or weekly specials on bikes, parts, clothing and other schwag. They share cool tips and riding strategies and aren’t afraid to show their personalities. They announce weekly Rave Rides where everyone has 4 hours to show at a particular trailhead for an epic group ride. And, once a month, they do a one-day 20% off twitter-only sale from the back of a truck and you have to be following them to know where it will be.

After 3 months, they can track twitter related sales to an average of 30% of daily sales and total sales have gone up 20% since starting on twitter. Not only is it great for their community, for customer service…they’re using social media to put money in the bank.

So there you have it. There are many ways to market online if you aren't considering adding social media to the mix your missing out on a big chunk of profits. Yes there is a right way and wrong way. Be sure to follow those who know how to do it the right way.
