Are you looking to build a successful network marketing business? Do you want to maximize your month and achieve your goals? In this article, we'll share some tips on how to effectively build your network marketing business and make the most out of your month.

Set Your Goals

The first step in maximizing your month is to set clear and specific goals. At the beginning of the month, take some time to identify what you want to achieve by the end of the month. This may include the rank you want to reach and the amount of money you'd like to earn. Write down your goals and keep them visible throughout the month to help you stay focused.

Focus on Introducing Others

For the first two weeks of the month, focus on introducing as many people as possible to your products and opportunity. This may involve hosting events, reaching out to your personal network, or leveraging social media to reach new people. The goal during this time is to build your prospect list and introduce your business to as many people as possible.

Help Your Team Members

During the second half of the month, shift your focus to helping your new team members build their businesses. Spend time working with them one-on-one to help them get started, and encourage them to reach out to their own networks to expand their reach. By helping your team members succeed, you'll also be helping yourself reach your own goals.

Check In With Your Organization

As the end of the month approaches, it's important to check in with your organization to see who is close to the next rank, who is slightly short for their monthly order, or who needs help placing their monthly order. This is also a good time to check in with your customers to ensure their monthly orders have processed correctly.

Take Action

The final days of the month are critical for maximizing your results. Use this time to take action and make sure you're doing everything you can to help your team members and customers succeed. This may involve following up with prospects, making calls to your team members, or hosting a last-minute event to help people reach their goals.

In conclusion, building a successful network marketing business requires focus, dedication, and a clear strategy. By setting clear goals, focusing on introducing others, helping your team members, and taking action, you can maximize your month and achieve the results you desire. So take action today and start building your network marketing business!

Staying Motivated and Positive: How to Push Through Difficult Times as a Single Parent Entrepreneur #031

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Staying Motivated and Positive: How to Push Through Difficult Times as a Single Parent Entrepreneur

Episode #031

Intro:

Today, we’ll be discussing how to stay motivated when things are not going your way in either your personal life, business life, or even both, at the same time are making you feel frustrated and overwhelmed.

It happens. There was a time when the company I was with changed their compensation plan, again, for the worse again, and key leaders on my team were seriously talking about quitting. They had had enough. I didn’t blame them, but I was trying to hold my business together, trying to settle my team down and talking to corporate to try to get them to fix what they did. Both my daughters were in a very expensive private school at the time. I was the mom, dad and provider and here’s my business on the brink of going up in flames. That same week, I discovered the man I had been dating for 3 years, at the time, the guy I thought I was madly in love with, had been cheating on me pretty much the entire time we were together.

I just wanted to crawl into be and stay there.

I didn’t want to deal with my business

I didn’t want to deal with my personal life, I just wanted to stay in bed.

And I did, for 1 day.

I drove my girls to school, came home, hopped back into bed.

I didn’t answer a single call or reply to a single text all day.

Picked up my girls from school.

Told them I had a headache and went back to bed.

I had pizza delivered and called it a day.

I’m not proud of how I handled what was going on, but when shit hits the fan from multiple directions, you’re bound to get hit in the face with some. That’s life sometimes.

I realized that I couldn’t continue to live everyday in bed. I had major responsibilities, not only to my daughters, but also to my team, so I had to dig deep and tapped into my Driving Force.

I incorporated the tips and strategies I’m going to give you here today and managed to get up, take a shower, and began dealing with my issues at hand, one at a time.

It was not easy, but I took one step in the right direction over and over again until I was out of the mess and back on track.

Then I kept doing what I’m about to share with you, and still do today. This helps prevent, or at least it helps minimize the rut, slump, frustration or overwhelm that we find ourselves in from time to time and keep the motivation to move forward going.

“The Struggle of Staying Motivated”

We all know how hard it is to stay motivated when things aren't going well. Whether your personal life is in shambles or your business is not growing as fast as you expected, like in my story I just shared with you, it’s easy to give up on everything and throw in the towel. But here's the thing: success requires consistent action, even when it feels like nothing is working. We need to dig deep and find the motivation within ourselves to keep going- no matter what!

Here are the Tips & Strategies I use to Stay Motivated:

They are tried-and-tested to help you stay motivated, even when things seem impossible...

1. Give yourself grace. Cut yourself some slack from time to time- sometimes it’s okay if you don’t have that extra energy or enthusiasm for doing something. Acknowledge where you are right now instead of expecting too much from yourself

2. Celebrate small wins. It can be really hard when our main goal seems far away or out of reach, so celebrate each step along the way! Celebrating small wins helps us appreciate our progress while also keeping us motivated to keep going

3. Stop comparing yourself to others. Comparing ourselves can be detrimental as it can lead us into a spiral of feeling inadequate or unworthy compared to others who may appear more successful than us at first glance. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on making progress over time and celebrating your own accomplishments

4. Connect with other people who understand & empathize with what you’re going through. Having relationships with people who have been through similar experiences can help keep you motivated and remind you that there is hope for better days ahead. This is where a good accountability partner comes in very handy. We covered that in last weeks episode #30

5. Take care of yourself first & foremost before anything else- make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating healthy meals, exercising regularly etc so that your body & mind has enough energy & motivation to keep pushing forward towards success!

Bonus Tip:

It can also be helpful to create daily routines that keep you disciplined and productive while building your business. This might include setting up specific goals each day or scheduling out different tasks at certain times of the day so that you stay on track with all that needs to be done. Having this kind of structure will not only help keep you organized but will also give you a sense of accomplishment as tasks are completed one-by-one.

Conclusion: Even though it can feel like everything is out of our control at times, remember that we still have power over ourselves and our actions - we just need to find ways of staying motivated no matter what! By following the tips discussed in today’s episode, we can make sure that we stay focused on our goals, personal and business, even during difficult times….

I am here for you every step of the way.

3. Getting Motivated in Difficult Times: The Keys to Staying Positive and Productive (12:12 - 16:32)

Long Summary:

When faced with multiple pressures it is important to recognize and utilize one's driving force to stay motivated. Breaking the task down into manageable steps is an effective way of dealing with the issues and achieving the desired outcome. It is necessary to monitor mental health and wellbeing, which can be done by being kind to oneself and celebrating even the small wins. To further improve mood, motivation and overall wellbeing, it is beneficial to embrace things like sunshine and positive music, creating a daily routine and setting goals for oneself each day. Lastly, prioritizing self care and giving grace is paramount.

The Power of an Accountability Partner #30

Samantha Gamble — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0400

The Power of an Accountability Partner

Episode #30

One of the many advantages of building a network marketing business happens to also be one of the things that makes it so appealing to parents, especially single parents.

That is…you are your own boss, and you set your own hours.

No one looking over your shoulder with deadlines and project due dates. No one checking your time sheet to see if you arrived late or left early. If one of your children wake up sick and can’t go to school, you don’t have to panic trying to find a last minute sitter, or having to lie to your boss telling them you’re sick and can’t come in.

Being your own boss definitely has a lot of perks. You can make your own hours, take days off when you want, and work from the comfort of your own home. But, let's face it, it's not all rainbows, butterflies and unicorns. It can be really tough to stay on track and be productive when there's no one breathing down your neck telling you what needs to get done and telling you what time to show up and what time to leave.

That's where an accountability partner comes in.

An accountability partner has to be someone you respect. If you don’t respect them, this will not work.

If you respect them, you won’t want to let them down.

An accountability partner will hold you accountable for showing up and doing the work, even when you don't feel like it, ESPECIALLY when you don’t feel like it.

Having someone in your corner who understands what you're going through and can offer words of encouragement (or a swift kick in the pants) can make all the difference in the world when it comes to staying on track and building your business.

Not sure how to find an accountability partner? Here are a few tips:

Look for someone who is in a similar situation as you. It’s best if. You can find someone who is in the same network marketing company as you, but they don’t have to be.

They can be someone in your upline who you respect and who understands, not only your life situation, but also your goals.

If you can find someone who is also a single parent, that is a great plus, but again, not necessary.

The most important part about having an accountability partner is that they understand:

Where you currently are
Where you want to be (and by what time period)
What your working hours are
How often are you going to connect

Make sure your accountability partner is someone who has similar goals as you, or higher. If their goals are less than yours, they are not going to be very motivating. You want to make sure that you're both working towards the same things. For example, if your goal is to lose 20 pounds and their goal is to gain 20 pounds, chances are that they're not going to be very helpful when it comes to staying on track with your diet and exercise plan. Find someone who shares your vision and who will help you stay focused on your goals. And speaking of goals...

Make sure that your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). This will help ensure that both you and your accountability partner are clear on what needs to be done and when it needs to be done by. There's nothing worse than getting halfway through a goal and realizing that it wasn't actually achievable in the first place! By making sure your goals are SMART from the start, you can avoid this pitfall altogether.

So if you're struggling to stay on track with your business or personal goals, consider finding yourself an accountability partner. They really can provide much-needed support and motivation when times are tough. By following the tips above, you’ll not only find an accountability partner who is perfect for you, but you will also get the maximum benefit out of having a partner!

By the way, you can adopt this in all areas of your life. I have always had an accountability partner for my network marketing business as well as for working out. Before my girls went away for college, I’d workout at 5:30am. That way, I could get my workout done, come home, shower, take my girls to school, come home and start my day. But there was no way I’d do that on my own. My friend Jillian and I would hold each other accountable. If I woke up first, I’d text her an emoji of 2 paperclips, why paperclips, who knows, if she woke up first, she’d do the same.

There was no way we would let the other one down.

Could you imagine if I didn’t show up and she was there by herself? She would have killed me, or at the very least, she would have never let me forget it - I would never have done that, because I respected her enough to not want to let her down.

And that is what you are looking for in your own accountability partner. Someone you respect enough, not to let them down.

Key Highlights:

1. Gaining Flexibility and Freedom as a Single Parent with Network Marketing: The Benefits of Having an Accountability Partner (00:00 - 06:13)

2. Maximizing The Benefits of An Accountability Partner: Setting Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound Goals. (06:13 - 11:58)

3. Harnessing the Power of an Accountability Partner for Achieving Positive Results (11:58 - 16:05)

Brief Description:

Building a network marketing business is a great opportunity for single parents who want to work from home and set their own hours. To ensure success, single parents can set a personal schedule, communicate their working hours to an accountability partner, meet with them regularly, and set SMART goals. By finding a supportive and reliable accountability partner and engaging in positive behaviors together, single parents can maximize the business structure and fit it in around their children's schedule to achieve success.

The Power of Measurement in Network Marketing - Episode #28

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Introduction: As the old saying goes, “What gets measured, gets accomplished.” When it comes to building your network marketing business, this rings truer than ever. It’s not enough to have a vision for your business—you have to break that vision down into achievable goals and track your progress along the way. To stay motivated and on track, I like to break my goals down into bite-size chunks: 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years… and then keep tracking my progress! This episode will walk you through how to do the same.

Measure Your Progress Every Step of the Way

Let’s start with day one. When you start your journey as a network marketer, you should be asking yourself questions such as “How many people can I reach out to today?” or “How many times can I follow up with someone?” These are all measurable activities that will help build your business over time. As you begin to build relationships with customers, make sure you are reaching out regularly and helping them use your products and services correctly. This is an important part of measuring success—you have to ensure that customers are actually using the products or services correctly for the best results.

Set Goals for Every Stage of Your Journey

Breaking down your long-term goals into smaller chunks will help you stay motivated and on track as you work towards achieving success in network marketing. Start by focusing on short-term goals—what do you want to accomplish within the first 30 days? How about 60 days? 90 days? Then look at mid-term goals like 6 months or 1 year; finally think about what success looks like after 2-5 years in business. Writing these goals down helps visualize them—and seeing them written down makes it easier to envision what success looks like!

I’ve been listening to Bob Proctors latest book, Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life. It’s a great book by the way. Anyway, he said, that even to this day, every morning, he writes down what it is that he wants for his business 5 times in a row, speaks it out loud 5 times and records himself saying it. He then sends that recording to his business partner, who is also his accountability partner and she does the same.

This is a great habit to get into. Pick an accountability partner. That, will help you stick to this new habit.

Be specific with what you want and write it down. Don’t write down “I want to make a lot of money with my network marketing business”. This maybe what you do actually want, but break it down, bit by bit and make a measurable amount of progress in a reasonable amount of time.

Breaking down specifically what it is that you want, will help you achieve your ultimate goal quicker.

Ask yourself the following questions for each of the time frames

30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, year 1, year 2, year 3, year 4, year 5 -

What rank would you like to achieve? -By the way… Once you have decided what that is, find out how many customers and team members it will take to get to each of those ranks. If you don’t know, no problem, most people who are just getting started don’t know. That is what your upline support team is for. Ask them to help you treat it down.

This will then help you identify how many people to reach out to on a daily, weekly basis to reach you goals.

How much money would you like to earn per month?

How much money would you like to save and/or invest?

How much debt will you be paying down?

What vacations will you be taking and to where?

Feel free to add in additional questions that fit the needs of your family, but answer them for the same timeline, even if the answer is 0. Chances are, you’re not going to go on a holiday at each of these time intervals, as an example.

Reward Yourself Along the Way

Building a successful network marketing business takes hard work and dedication—so don’t forget to reward yourself along the way! Set milestones throughout your journey and give yourself a pat on the back when you hit them. Celebrate small wins like signing up a new customer or getting positive feedback from an existing customer; these little wins add up over time! Plus rewarding yourself for meeting milestones gives you something extra to strive for as you continue working towards long-term success in network marketing, it also helps train your brain to want to do the right actives everyday.

Keep track of your daily and weekly activity along the way. This will not only allow you to keep on track and pin point what is working really well, but it will also help you identify what isn’t working, or what you’re having a difficult time with. You can then take that information to your upline support team for a fix and refine session to help ensure you stay on track and on target.

Conclusion:

Building a successful network marketing business requires hard work and dedication—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or daunting! By breaking down long-term goals into smaller ones and tracking your progress along the way (measuring what gets accomplished), achieving success becomes much more manageable—and even enjoyable! So go ahead - set those short and long term goals, measure your progress every step of the way and reward yourself along the way - because after all is said and done - What Gets Measured Gets Accomplished! Good Luck!!

Do you get confused with all of the conflicting information out there on how to build your network marketing business what you should do and not do?

My hope is that by the end of this episode you are less confused and you'll have a focus and a handle on what you need to do, everyday, in order to build a successful network marketing business that will last a lifetime.

Before I get into this episode, I want to share something I am very passionate about.

If you are a single parent and you want to have a successful network marketing career, but you’re not quite sure how, or what to do? Maybe you've tried before but never had any success.

Success as a single parent is 100% possible in network marketing! Join our community and we will help you every step of the way.

Okay, let’s dive in. There is so much conflicting information and training out there right now, more than ever before.

It's hard to know what you are supposed to do and not do how you're supposed to do it and how you're not supposed to do it. It seems like every time there's some thing a new training out there that tells you to do one thing the next week there's a training that tells you to do something completely opposite.

As an example I just listened to a gentleman who said that you don't need to have a “why” in order to have success in this industry.

Yet there are people that teach, myself included, that you need to have a why, better yet you need to have your driving force. Why are you doing what you're doing.

I have to admit though, this training that I listen to, if I was brand new in the industry, he was very good. He was very convincing, to the point of, if I didn't know better and I was just getting started, I would not have focused on identifying my way or my driving force, which by the way would have been a HUGE mistake.

Let me tell you the truth, as fun as our industry can be, there are ups and downs, just like with anything. The difference between having ups and downs say at your job, you have people around you, you have a boss that you answer to, so it’s easier to get out of a down time and turn things around. However, with building a network marketing career, you are your own boss and when you go through the rollercoaster of building your business, you will be very tempted to stop working for the day, week, month, or even quit if you hit a big down period. The ONLY thing that will help pull you out and turn it around is your “why”, your “driving force”.

If you haven’t done so yet, check out the 7 levels deep exercise. That will help you identify your true driving force and will make you unstoppable. You can find it on spspcommunity.com/podcast - also in the show notes.

So Conflicting Information #1 - do you or don’t you need a “why” / “driving force”….absolutely you need it!

Next…There are people out there teaching that you have to do three reels a day in order to have success in Network Marketing. Then there are people that say that you don’t need to do reels.

Okay, so this form of marketing is fairly new, it’s only a few years old and already it has changed so much! Last year, you could post a reel, didn’t even have to be that great of a reel, and you’d wake up to sales in your inbox. That is NOT the case anymore!

I see too many people doing 1 of 2 things.

#1. They are spending way too much time creating their reels - hair, make up, lighting, clothes, shooting, editing, etc., that they are not doing the actual work they need to be doing in order to have the success they are wanting, and, on top of it, they’re barely getting any engagement. Hardly anyone is even seeing their reels.

#2. Or they are so terrified of actually doing a reel, yet they think they have to in order to have success, they feel as though they almost have to be an actor to have success, so they become paralyzed and end up doing nothing.

Both are wrong.

Reels, or short form videos are great. They definitely get pushed out to more people than a simple post, but they are not the be all end all, nor do they have to have a high production value.

If you posted 10 reels a day (which is insane) and that’s all you did, you would not have success in network marketing.

If doing reels takes you away from reaching out to actual people, then don’t do them, or cut back how you are doing them. They don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be perfect. Done is better than perfect. If you can batch filming your reels in 1 day, you can bang out a months worth with a little bit of preplanning and organization.

Sit down for 1 hour and do a quick scroll through peoples reels. (Set your timer, don’t go down the black hole of scrolling for hours). Find the reels that resonate with you and that have good engagement.

Write down the idea and make a note of the reel. Do this 15-20 times and you now have all of your ideas for a months worth of reels.

Since not that many people see them anyway, realistically, you can always repurpose them in a month or so. Keep this in mind when you are batch filming. Avoid mentioning dates, or time of year. Keep it evergreen, so you can use them over and over again.

So Conflicting Information #2 - do you or don’t you need to do reels? It’s a good idea, but you don’t need to do 3 per day. 1 every other day is fine. Don’t let it distract you from the task you need to do to really build your business. Reels will not build your business.

There are people who say you need to post 2- 4 times everyday on social media plus post 5-7 stories everyday.

Then there are people who say posting on social media isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be and you won’t get sales from it anymore anyway, like you use to a couple of years ago.

Okay, so keep in mind that less than 6% of your social media friends or followers will ever see the content you’re putting out.

So, kind of like the reels, don’t let it suck up your time. What happens a lot is we get busy doing busy work and none of it converts to sales.

Let me clear this one up for you, because it does get confusing. I have listened to trainings from 2 different leaders in our industry, who are both earning several millions of dollars per year with their company’s and the BOTH contradicted one another. It’s no wonder people are confused. LOL

Anyway, here is what you do…

Yes, you post and yes you add stories, however, you don’t need 2, 3, 4 posts per day or 5, 6, 7 stories per day.

You do need to have a social media presence, mainly because when you are reaching out to people, cold marketing or warm market, the first thing they are going to do, is check out your profile page and see what you have been posting.

Posting 1 time per day and adding a couple of stories per day is plenty. You can do more, but you have to be mindful of tasks that take you away from doing the actual income producing activities like reaching out, following up and growing your list of contacts (which could be growing your social media friends and followers)

Just like with the reels, do the same thing here. You can take 1 hour and scroll through to find posts that resonate with you and they have good engagement. Make a note of them and copy the link.

Then take 2-3 hours 1 day per month and create your posts for the month, or if that is too overwhelming for you, you can take 30min per week and create your posts for that week.

Batching is a lifesaver. It is worth taking a little time to organize your thoughts and map out your posts, than to have to create and post everyday. Trust me, you won’t be able to stay consistent.

Being consistent, plus your messaging is what people who are checking out your profile and posts, really care about. They will see your commitment level through your consistency and they will either identify with what you are putting out there or they won’t. If they do, then they are your perfect customer and/or teammate.

So Conflicting Information #3 - Do you post and add to your stories? Yes, but not as much as what some people are saying. You only need 1 post per day and a couple of stories that help people get to know you (more behind the scene, get to know you, kind of content)

So Conflicting Information #4- (there are more, but we will stop at this one for now)

There are people who say find your niche and speak to your people. Then there are people who say don’t so exclusive. Niching down is thinking small.

There’s a saying out there that says “if you are talking to everyone, you’re talking to no one”.

You do need to identify who it is that you would like to work with and help. What type of people do you want to surround yourself with? What struggles are they facing? What solutions can you offer them?

Then target all of your content towards that person. As if you are talking to your best friend.

This will help you sift and sort through the right people and will cut down on wasting time with the wrong people.

When you are working with the right people, the right people for you, your business will grow 100 times faster than if you are working with the wrong people.

Sometimes, especially I think as single parents with a huge amount of financial responsibility on our shoulders, we think we want anyone and everyone to join our business and I can promise you, that is not the case. You will end up wasting so much time and mental energy dealing with people that you don’t want to deal with every single day.

You don’t want to sell you soul for the quick money today. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Stay consistent reaching out to people. Stay consistent with putting out good, thoughtful content and your business will become a success.

Do this for 90 days and you will have a business you couldn’t stop if you tried.

So Conflicting Information #4- Should you find your niche, or widen your market? Identify who is it you would like to work with and/or help. Who do you want to surround yourself with? Identify their struggles and what solutions you have for them and create all of your content and messaging towards that person.

Your business will grow faster, you’ll have more success, plus a heck of a lot more fun if you build this way, than if you try to market to everyone. No one will hear you. There’s too much information out there.

A coach of mine told me this recently - she said “a robin can only hear the song of another robin” You are singing with your content and messaging and your robins will hear you loud and clear.

I hope this weeks episode gave you clarity and left you feeling empowered. You can do this my friend.

Why Aren't My Customers Reordering? Episode 25

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 04:00:00 -0400

“Why Aren’t My Customers Reordering?”

Episode 25

Do you have customers or even distributors that come in and order one time and never order again?

Are you wondering why people aren't reordering month after month. I mean after all you did get involved in Network Marketing so you can build up your residual income. You know the products work. So why aren't they ordering again?

Well, I’ll tell you exactly why, there's a couple reasons, either you didn't follow up with them to make sure they are taking the products or using your service the right way, everyday, or your products really don't work.

Now I know you wouldn't be selling your product or services if they didn't work, so of course that's not the issue. Which leaves the hard truth of, most likely, it's because you didn't follow up with them correctly, or enough.

When people buy your product or service they have every intention of using it the right way every day, being consistent, but it's adding a new habit into their life. Usually for a person to implement a new habit into their life they need an accountability partner to make that habit stick.

That's where we come in! We care about the results our customers get with our products or service.

Now keep in mind, our distributors or team members are also our customers. Anybody who consumes our products or service are our customers.

Not everybody is going to build a successful network marketing business like you. Not everybody will put in the type of effort that it takes to build a successful business in Network Marketing. Yet our products and services are things that everybody can use and benefit from.

Let me back up for a second, to state the obvious, as a business owner, which is what we are, we want people to re-order month after month.

These are people that we exposed to our product or opportunity, they went through the information. Fell in love with what they saw and they placed an order. The hard work has already been done.

However, the real money in network marketing, the real freedom, time freedom and financial freedom all comes from your re-orders.

Yes do you make bonuses for different ranks you achieve, fast start bonuses, maybe a car bonus, yes most companies have bonuses, but those are all frosting on the cake. Your actual cake, your foundational income, the money coming in month after month that you can count on, all comes from people who love your products or services so they are re-ordering month after month year after year. They are “Lifers”. God forbid there is a natural disaster and they have to evacuate, they are taking their kids, pets, pictures, and your products. LOL

This is your bread and butter. If you think of a bicycle wheel. The hub of that wheel is your recurring monthly revenue which is the revenue you receive from the orders that come in month after month. The spokes on that wheel are the different bonuses that you receive the advancement bonuses, the car bonuses, the rank advancement bonus is the fast start bonuses, you name it. Now don't get me wrong, bonuses are great! I love frosting, but without the cake you just have a mound of frosting no structure. It would be like building a house on sand without a cement slab as your foundation.

Follow up is the key. You've heard it probably 1 million times “the fortune is in the follow up”. We've heard it so many times because it's true. When somebody orders your product or services the first thing you need to find out is, why are they ordering your products or services. What result are they looking to achieve?

Then find out how serious are they about achieving those results. I like to use a scale of 1 to 10. One meaning they're not very serious at all about achieving that result, it would be nice if it happens but they're not going to do anything to make it happen.

10 is they are deadly serious and they will do whatever it takes to achieve that result.

This will let you know how to follow up with them. If they are anything below a seven, chances are you're going to be going into convincing mode to get them to take the product or use your service on any type of consistent basis.

Follow up is a lot easier if they are at least a seven or higher.

Now here's how you're going to follow up, this only takes a couple of minutes by the way:

You're going to follow up with them on day 1, day 2, day 3, day 5, day 7, week 2 and week 4, in time for your re-order.

Sidenote, it depends on how quickly your company processes the orders and ships the products out. You may want to adjust that week 4 follow up to a week 3 if you know it's going to take a week for your company to actually get the product to your customer.

Here's all you're going to ask your customer with every follow-up call you make and this could also be done through a text or Facebook messenger, but it has to be done.

The first follow up call you have with them, you're going to walk them through how to use the products or service. Set them up for success based upon the goal they gave you.

Every follow up call after that, all you're going to say is “how did you use the products today or yesterday?” That's it. I will guarantee you no matter how simple your products or services are to use, you'll find that nine times out of 10 your customer is not using them 100% correctly.

Now you may think that they'll be sick of you checking in on them so often, but they won't, what they will realize is that you actually really do care about the results that they get.

You weren't just interested in closing the sale, getting the commissions.

You really are interested in their well-being.

That intern will yield you a very loyal customer. They will be more open to looking at any other products that you sell.

Now by following up with them like this, and again this is for your distributors / teammates and your customers. They're all customers, it guarantees that they will get the results that they are after, because you are hand holding them and encouraging them every step of the way.

Now what do people do if they're getting great results? They re-order! They don't want to stop getting the great results that they're getting.

On the second month and for every month there after, you can check in on them once a week or once every other week once your business gets to be too large to get in touch with everyone every week, just to see how they're doing and how they’re using the products.

As you build your loyal customer base, they will also send you referrals. Unless they are already on your team, and by the way, by you following up like this with your distributors, people on your team, you're teaching them what to do with their customers and distributors. Therefore you are building loyal customers deep within your organization. That is your true residual income my friend.

I'll tell you a story, there was one customer I had a few years ago. I was selling a weight loss system at the time, and my business was growing rapidly. I was in 34 countries, was approaching 20,000 distributors on my team and my follow up with my customers was not as on point as it should've been.

I received a text from a lady who said “this product doesn't work, I have gained 8 pounds in the past three weeks”.

Now I knew the product worked. I had helped people loose anywhere from their last 5 pounds on up to 640 pounds, so I knew the product worked. I knew that it had to of been user error and it was my fault because I dropped the ball and didn’t follow up with her.

Not only was she not going to re-order, she was going to return the product, so I gave her a call. After listening to her tell me about how the products don’t work and how much weight shed gained, I asked, “so Betty, how have you been using the product?”. She said “I have been using it just like you told me to, two shakes a day and one sensible meal”.

I said “okay, that’s great Betty, let's go through step-by-step how you're preparing your shake and what your meal consists of”. She said “well I can tell you the shake tastes amazing when I blend it up with chocolate milk”. LOL

Long story short she was preparing her shake with 24oz whole fat chocolate milk, and having a massive meal at night.

I fixed and refined her. Made sure I followed up with her consistently and she ended up losing the 28 pounds that she initially wanted to lose.

Betty went on to be a very loyal customer and ordered many of the other products that I sold at the time.

So this is an example of me not following up on a consistent basis and somebody who not only was she not going to ever order the products ever again, but chances are, she was going to return them.

And after a five minute phone call with her we fixed and refined her and she went on to have success and become a loyal customer.

Is Your Excitement Turning Into Frustration? Episode #24

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Is Your Excitement Turning Into Frustration?

Episode #24

Hello my Network Marketing friend.

We all start our Network Marketing career with the same level of enthusiasm.

When we first get started in the industry we are so excited!

We're like a kid in the candy store or an excited puppy, only not peeing everywhere…

When we first get started, the possibilities seem endless!

We have big dreams and big goals.

We anxiously await for our first product order to arrive.

We have high hopes that this business will bring us the time and financial freedom we have always always desired.

The first week we get started we're getting acclimated to the products, the tools, our support team, the income producing activities, and everything and anything that our support team tells us to read, watch, or do.

Then we talk to the first person we know, chances are they're positive because, although we are excited, we are super nervous, so we start with an easy sale. We reach out to the closest person to us because we know they will just order anything that we want them to, no matter what it is. Lol.

However, the next handful of people we reach out to, they aren't so positive.

They start saying things such as:

“Why are you doing that thing?”

“You don't know anything about running your own business.” “Haven't you tried one of those things before?”

“No one ever has success in those things.”

“It's a pyramid.”

“It's a get rich quick scheme.”

“You're not a sales person.”

“Why don't you look into getting a real job?”

“Only the people at the top make money.”

You catch my drift. LOL

You name it I have heard it all before. When I was first starting out in the industry 27 years ago, I heard all the negatives. I even had my own family members, for years, even when I started to have real success, like solid five figures a month coming in, I still had family members ask me when I was going to get a real job and why am I doing that thing, it's a scam.

People say these things not because they want to hurt us, or even discourage us, they say them because they think they know the Network Marketing Industry, but the just don’t.

The thing is, it's such an inexpensive, easy way to start a simple to build business, no experience or college degree required (thank God), with unlimited potential, you can be from Yale or Jail. Because of this, countless amount of people have tried building a network marketing business. And I use the word “TRY” very loosely. (I’m doing air quotes right now)

Often times people who say “I've tried one of those things before, they don't work, only the people at the top make money”, well the truth is, they didn’t really try. They didn't connect with their support team. They didn't use the tools. They didn't reach out to enough people. They weren’t consistent. They didn't put in the time or effort that's needed in order to build the type of business they were hoping to build.

Before I get into why I am saying all this, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have so you and your children can live the life you truly deserve. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

So why am I saying all of this? Well I go back to my original point. When we get started, we are so excited!

The sky is the limit!

The world is our oyster, until we start shucking those oysters expecting to find a pearl, and all we find is sand, grit and slime… over and over and over again that it becomes understandable, heck, even justifiable to think

“well I guess they must all be right, these things really don't work, I don't know how to run my own business, I guess it’s true, only the people at the top make the money”…and so on and so on and so on.

Here's the thing. The fact of the matter is thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people all around the world are having and experiencing levels of financial success and time freedom that to levels so high that 99% of the worlds population could never wrap their heads around that level of success.

They are all walks of life. They’re with various Network Marketing companies. Selling various products. Selling various services. Different types of compensation plans. They have different backgrounds and experience. Some got started when the company just got started. Some got started when the company was 15 years old and there are hundreds, if not thousands of people between them and the company in the lineage.

The decades upon decades upon decades of success in our industry, automatically proves that most of the negative things we hear from people, who just don't understand, are wrong… 100% wrong.

The other negative things such as:

“you don't know what you're doing”

“you don't know the first thing about running your own business”… Those are all learned abilities.

The key is make sure you connect and latch on to your support team.

Find those people, in your company, that have the lifestyle that you want and find out exactly what it is that they do. Believe me they will share it with you because it's in their best interest for you to have massive amounts of success. There isn't a single leader out there, well, a true leader, a servant driven leader, who will ever keep what it is that they do to achieve their success, a secret.

Find out what it is that they do, don't question it, and do a lot of it. Now, if you are doing what you need to be doing, consistently, and you're STILL not having success, you are sucking those oysters only to find more sand, grit and dirt over and over and over again and the thoughts of quitting start to creep into your mind and you are no longer having fun, then it is time to call and connect with your up line support team for a fix and refine session.

This is where you're going to go through with them your activities for that day, that week, the previous week, and the week before that.

You’re going to go through with them:

The conversations that you've had.

The messages that you've sent.

The follow ups you've done.

How often have you followed up?

What messages have you sent?

What tools are you using?

They will be able to pinpoint one, two, or several areas where you're off just 1 or 2 degrees. Sometimes it’s just fixing and refining the little things that make the BIG difference.

Pretty soon you'll be shucking those oysters and you will get Pearl after Pearl after Pearl after Pearl.

It's through the repetition and consistency of doing the correct income producing activities, the right way, every day that is going to produce the outcome that you are looking for. The financial freedom AND the time freedom.

Don't quit!

Are you going to get frustrated?

Absolutely!

Are there times where you're going to think of quitting? Absolutely!

If the thought of quitting doesn't enter your brain fairly often, you're not doing enough of the right income producing activities. LOL

I'll close with this:

Everybody always has an opinion.

Everyone always has advice.

The key is:

Only listen to the opinions and take the advice from people who have the lifestyle, not just the money, but the entire package, the whole lifestyle, that you desire for you and your family.

And remember this, what you're desiring for you and your family has been put on your heart, no one else’s. Therefore no one else can give you advice on how you can get to where you want to go.

It's your dream, your desire, your goal, therefore you have the ability within you to reach it, otherwise that desire would not have been put on your heart.

Now that doesn't guarantee that you're going to achieve it.

You could be given a very grandiose desire, but if you binge on Netflix every day it's never going to fulfill the desire that's been put on your heart.

Don't let the naysayers steal your dreams. I can tell you from experience, you could be earning over $1 million a year, and you will still have naysayers. You will still have people asking you: “Why don't you get a real job?”

“Why are you involved in that scam?”

“Why are you part of a pyramid?”

Your job is not to debate, or convince them that they are wrong, because they are, your job is to put one foot in front of the other in the direction of your goals, dreams and desires.

DON’T QUIT.

Take a breath.

Look at your activities.

Be honest with yourself about what you are doing to build your business. Are you busy with busy work, or are you busy with doing the right income producing activities.

If you are, then call, text, email, DM, send a note via carrier pigeon, or send a smoke signal to your support team requesting a Fix and Refine Session.

I promise you after having this session with them, he will see where you can fix and refine. It could be a lot that you have to fix and refine, or it could just be a little bit, but being a little bit off will completely shift your business in the wrong direction. It isn't any different than a pilot flying an airplane. If we are flying from here, California, to go see my daughter TAYLOR in New York city, and the pilot set the course just slightly off, maybe even just 1 or 2 degrees, instead of ending in New York City we could end in Quebec, or North Carolina.

Being even a little bit off adds up to a lot, but not to worry, your upline support team is there to help you. Take advantage of their expertise and their experience.

So was this helpful? Did you get value from this episode? I’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect on Facebook or Instagram, links are in the show notes and on our site www.spspcommunity.com.

Is Network Marketing Right for You? Episode #23

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:15:00 -0400

Is Network Marketing right for you? Episode #23

Is Network Marketing right for you?

Answer is…Who in the heck knows…

What I do know and can tell you are the attributes, or qualifications if you will, that you need to posses in order to have any hope of having success in this industry.

Based on that, you’ll then know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, if Network Marketing is right for you and if you are right for Network Marketing.

Before I get into that, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have so you and your children can live the life you truly deserve. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

Now, let’s get down to it!

I have been in the Network Marketing industry since I was 22 and 1 week old. I am now 49. You can do the math. LOL

These 3 qualifications were taught to me when I first started and continuously throughout my 27 year career so far.

It doesn’t matter what company you’re with. What product you sell. What service you provide, or what country you are based out of.

These 3 qualifications are an absolute must, if you are looking to have a successful network marketing career.

The first one is

A Burning Desire - you MUST have a burning desire to change the way things currently are. If you don’t, you won’t do what is necessary to have success. This is more than having your “why”. Having a “why” is great, but you need more than that. If you haven’t identified your Driving Force by doing the Seven Levels Deep exercise, I highly recommend you do it. The PDF download and the episode can be found on www.spspcommunity.com/podcast scroll to episode 12 - How to become unstoppable & unwavering. In every area of your live, not just in your Network Marketing business.

You have to be at a place where you can’t stand the way things are, not for one more day, not for one more min. You are done! For things to change you have to change and for things to get better, you have to get better. You are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

For me, my moment of disgust was when I was in the grocery store with my daughters years ago. My ex husband had left and took everything.

I wasn’t even making enough to pay the mortgage at that time.

—You know when you’re in the grocery store, you almost always hear kids ask their parent for something. I never could understand when the parent would say “no, I can’t afford it” I understand saying “no”, but saying “I can’t afford it” when what their child was asking for was just a couple of dollars, well, this day - I was in the grocery store with my daughters, Vons, here in Thousand Oaks. Taylor, she asked if we could get Tree Top apple juice. It was 2 big bottles, tied together with that plastic cap thing. The 2 bottles were on sale for $5. I didn’t have the $5 to spare.

Right then and there, I understood how those parents could say, “no, I can’t afford it”.

Now I never uttered those words to Taylor, I just told her “not this time LoveBug, maybe next time”

That sick, burning gut feeling enraged me. In my head, while we were in that grocery store, I said, “that’s it, not another day, not another min are we living like this”

I started putting all of my efforts on the distributorship I had at that time and increased my commissions from $4,700 to $21,000 in 3 months and I have never looked back.

I swore that I would never be in that position again and I haven’t.

So #1 is Burning Desire

2nd Qualification is - Willingness to work - We hear of a lot of people making ridiculous amounts of money in Network Marketing, so you know it’s possible, but I can tell you, first hand, it takes a lot of work.

Building this business is VERY Simple, but it is not easy. You get out of it, what you put into it.

If you treat it like a hobby, it’s going to pay you like a hobby, well, as with most hobbies, it will probably end up costing you money.

The key here is, make sure the work you do is your income producing activities.

Often times, we get done with our day and we feel as though we were busy all day, yet we didn’t actually get anything accomplished.

Without working hand in hand with your upline support team, and being focused on what you want to achieve and how are you going to get it, it is easy to fill your days with busy work.

Next thing you know, you’re network marketing business isn’t growing, but you’re putting in all of these hours, so you think this just isn’t working and you quit. Be focused on what rank you want to reach and what monthly residual income you want to earn and work backwards. Figure out how many customers and how many team members you need to attain that goal. If you don’t know, your upline support team will. They will also tell you what you need to do to get there.

Which leads me into Qualification #3 - Be Teachable. This is true when you first get started in the industry, but it holds true until you die. Never Ever stop learning. Every single person I know, who’s net worth is over $10,000,000, invest in themselves everyday by learning or studying something that makes them better.

The success isn’t in the learning, however.

People say Knowledge is Power… respectfully, they are wrong. The Power is the in the application of the Knowledge.

Your success is in the application of what you learn.

Side Note: Make sure you are learning from people who have the lifestyle you are wanting. Those are the people you need to listen to and do what they say to do. Don’t question it, just do it and do a lot of it.

I have built 7 successful, multi million dollar distributorships with 7 different companies during my 27 year career.

My mentors were and are the greatest networkers of all time.

I was extremely lucky to be able to learn from the best of the best, like Larry Thompson, Jim Fobair, Jay Bennet, the late Jim Rohn, Ray Higdon, John Melton, Brynn Lang, just to name a few.

They make or have made countless of millions of dollars in our industry.

And although I only went to community college for 2 weeks, I am actually a very good student.

When I attended or attend any training that these guys do, I take notes as if it was the very first time I’m hearing them say it. The truth is, I’ve probably heard it dozens, if not hundreds of times, I can even write their sentences down before they are finished saying it sometimes, but like Bob Protor teaches, you don’t learn by reading something once, or hearing it once, it’s through repetition that it becomes part of you, part of your DNA and changes your paradigm. It then becomes your norm.

The 3 Qualifications are:

#1. Burning Desire - to change the way things are

#2. Have the Willingness to Work

#3. Be Teachable.

So, if you have all 3, congratulations, Network Marketing is for you!

Best Way to Win in 2023! Interview with Jeff Weisberg - Episode #22

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Best way to Win in 2023 - Interview with Jeff Weisberg - “The Hero of Network Marketing”

Episode #22

Well I have a very special treat for us for all of us.

We are kicking our year off with advice and wisdom from a dear friend of mine Jeff Weisberg.

He is an entrepreneur, a dad, a life changer, influencer, travel enthusiast, and the hero of network marketing.

Jeff's career, in this industry, began when he was 19 years old and you name it, he’s been through it.

When his 2 boys were 4 and 6, he became a single dad with 100% custody.

He went from being able to travel the world building his business, to being a full-time mom and dad.

Jeff quickly learned how to adjust and build his business in and around his new lifestyle.

Jeff, just like myself and many of you, wanted to be a hands on dad, but also had to financially provide for his family.

He figured it out. He was able to volunteer at his children's school. Coach 26 different teams. Took his boys to and from school. Plus build a multi million dollar, international Network Marketing company with his teams exceeding 250,000 people and impacting millions.

Jeff’s children are now about the same age as mine, they're in their twenties and super successful. In fact, his youngest son, Josh and Taylor my oldest daughter were born a day apart at the same hospital. So Jeff was actually in my delivery room for a little while, so we go way back. LOL

We are going to talk about mindset and what it really takes to have an impact on people around the world.

The impact starts first at home, with our own family and to be able live the life that we and our children truly deserve.

Here’s the transcript of the interview…

Jeff Weisberg:

Thanks Sam appreciate being on here and good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you guys might be listening in from. I live in Sarasota Florida but now I am in Oxnard, California, it's kind of an interesting situation.

My parents are getting older. They're not doing too well. Because of network marketing I always learned early in my career, you build your business around your lifestyle. Not your lifestyle around your business. That mindset has made it possible for me to turn a three-week trip into three months so I can be here, taking care of them.

Thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure. Yeah I've known Sam for a long long time. I remember when she and my ex-wife were in the hospital together a day apart. My son her daughter and literally their rooms were right next to each other pretty funny and then they ended up meeting each other in high school. And through talking through friends they realized who they actually were and didn't even know it when they heard the story. They couldn't believe it! Such a small world.

I love what you're doing with the Single Parent SuperPower I mean I'll tell you my story real quick. I started the industry when I was 19 years old got involved with a company called Amway everybody's probably heard of them.

You know, growing up. My dad was very successful in the life insurance business and taught me go to school get good grades and have your own business. He taught me about residual income and I learned about life insurance, but it didn't really turn me on then, obviously now I'm older I think about it differently but didn't really turn me on that much then as a career, but residual income did.

A friend of mine took me in September of 1979 to an Amway meeting here in California at the Civic Center and I walked into this meeting. I'm nineteen years old and these guys are all dressed in suits and ties and there's a chalkboard, the old days when they used chalk. They're drawing these circles and talking about duplication and residual income. I went home that night and I was looking up on the ceiling. All I saw was circles and I said “wow!”, but really it wasn't the money it was more the lifestyle. I saw the lifestyle these people had and that night I drank the kool-aid and boom, I was all in!

I was going to college, and doing somewhat decent with Amway. I then soon got involved with a company called Old World. Dropped out of college. Had some more success there. Met a gentleman named Ken Makovic who, at 21 years old now, took me under his wings. I learned a bunch of things. Unfortunately that company didn't really make it.

Then I got involved with Herbalife, here in Southern California, there I had an opportunity to spend time, personal time and met Mark Hughs and Larry Thompson and I'm a now 23 year old kid and boom, I mean it exploded!

I was blessed and became one of the top 50 in the world in Herbalife in the early 1980’s.

I had my own airplanes, cars, traveling. I'm taking the concord going to London and I was just rolling. Huge success but then Herbalife had some issues and again. Nobody thought those things would happen. We think it's just going to go well, like this in network marketing. Nothing goes always goes well and continues to grow, network marketing or not. It kind of took a crash and I had gotten out of the industry from 1985 till about 1992.

I got out of network marketing. I was kind of discouraged that my dream was gone.

Then I got back into the business with a friend of mine who's probably, if not the top, he’s one of the top all time earners in the history of network marketing around the world. He's still with that company.

He's been involved with them for thirty plus years.

I went over to Europe with him and got back in the industry and just went to town and have pretty much been in it ever since.

I've had my own company. I've consulted for companies. Been a distributor. Supplied companies. You name it.

I just feel that the industry, it's changed a lot, but the industry for a person, part-time to make a huge income part time or the above average person to make an above average income is great.

You know the concepts that people are learning and the things like I've learned early in my career, when we didn't have all this technology, I mean it's still crazy for me. I'm 62 years young and to be able to sit here stare at a laptop computer in California for free on wi-fi. You know Sam's on the other side and people all over the world get to hear this for free! Where when I started back in 1979, it was suits and ties a telephone that you walk around, forget about. Internet what's internet? I can run my business and my life right here I mean this phone right here does more than what computers did in the white house fifty years ago. It's just mind boggling and so technologies change the industry but the concepts are the same.

During that time, I became a single parent like Sam had said. My boys were four and a half and six. I had my business going. Things were going well.

I ended up becoming a full-time dad and you know sometimes you're not ready for things that hit you in life. I had to step it up. You know I had to start drinking all this kool-aid of all the personal growth and the positive attitude and for things to change you have to change for things to get better. You have to get better. I had to look in the mirror and say “Jeff, I guess now it's time to step it up”.

My focus was my boys so I had to learn how to delegate my time and time management. And like I said earlier, I learned early in my career that you want to build your business around your lifestyle. Not your lifestyle around your business.

My boys were I focus and I had to learn to delegate and I had to learn time management and I had to step it up.

In the morning I helped them get ready and when they were in school, I worked the business. I got them home, coached sports teams like Sam said because that was important to me. It wasn't the money, it was a lifestyle and then when they'd go to bed I'd get back on the phones (You know obviously they weren't these phones they were the kind of phones that you couldn't walk too far because they were connected to a wall) and built the business and have been blessed.

Now I've been to 51 countries. Built businesses around the world. My son's traveled internationally with me as well as well as domestically with me now they're 23 and 24. My younger son lives in Miami doing fintech sales. He went to the University of Miami. My older son's a cpa which is pretty funny because in that story I didn't tell I dropped out of college to do amway full-time. He's now a cpa living in san diego and, you know I'm blessed and it's because of the industry and because of things I learned early in my career from guys like Ken Makovic, Larry Thompson and others as well as what I learned from my father obviously as a very young man.

Samantha Gamble:

Yeah it's so true. Well you look at my children. Taylor graduated from Ucla lives in Manhattan, NY now and is a Biotech recruiter. Danielle's in her third year at Chapman and you know our stories are so similar. If it wasn't for the network marketing industry, God knows how our children would have turned out. Being that hands-on parent I think is so crucial and so important and that's why I've developed the SPSP Community as well as the Single Parent SuperPower Podcast, because I was reflecting that it was such a luxury that we were able to financially provide for our families but yet also be that stay at home parent. It was a win-win scenario that most people think to provide for your family, especially as a single parent, you have to go out get a job, which nothing wrong with that at all, but the single parent guilt is real. You want to be home with your family and through network marketing is the best way and the easiest way to do that.

We talked earlier, before we started recording, about strategies and tactics and the how tos and the here's what you need to do and all of that stuff. What you said was pretty profound. It is really not the how to stuff or the step-by step stuff.

Why don't you talk about that because that always changes.

But what is our real job? What do we need to have control over? What do we have to do to have the type of success, even half the amount of success that you've had, which everyone would be happy with.

Jeff Weisberg:

Well I mean that's a great question Sam I think you know number 1 is people kind of get all tied up into where do I go? What do I do? What do I say? You know I learned early in my career from Larry Thompson - concepts stay constant techniques change -.

If you spend a lot of time learning how to do a fax blast (back in the day), or how to work an auto dialer or how to run ads in the newspaper nobody does that anymore. I mean some of your audience probably doesn't even know what a fax machine is I remember when the fax machine came out and I said wow you could take a sheet of paper and put it through and on the other end it can come out the person can see it.

I know I sound stupid saying that today because you can do it in 2 seconds but that's what it's like. So if you get focused on all those techniques imagine if you spent a lot of time learning about myspace? Where's myspace today? People get hooked on what do I say on Facebook, or Instagram, or snapchat, or Tiktok, or Linkedin.

Those are the current kind of things people are using. 5 years from now those are all going to be like myspace. I mean who in your audience uses myspace today, but I know plenty of people that learned about it.

Google adwords is another one. They try to learn all these techniques. At the end of the day you have to learn the fundamentals which are applicable to any product. Any service. Any company. Any country. Learn the fundamentals that can be used in network marketing or out of network marketing. I've taken a lot of these things I learned in millionaire training, for example, and used it outside of network marketing because I think most people today are trying to figure out, “well, how do I do a Facebook live and is the lighting good back here and is my hair okay”, which I get concerned about often does it look okay? Do I have to buff up my bald head? 😄

Samantha Gamble:

Your hair looks amazing by the way it does looks amazing. 😆

Jeff Weisberg:

Is the lighting good? What's the background like? What am I wearing? What do I say? They get all concerned and all of that means nothing.

At the end of the day, all you have to have is:

#1 A burning desire. That's the first thing. People have to want it. You to have be hungry number.

#2 Willingness to work. I mean you know the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary unless you win the lottery or you're from the lucky sperm club and you end up inheriting a bunch of money. Last time I checked, it takes some work.

#3 Be teachable. I believe that ahead of us people have done what we want. They've already made the mistakes and they've made the errors. So do I want to sit here and go spend hours trying to figure it out on my phone or the internet, or do I want to find somebody like you, Sam who's got a system in place that I can just plug and play and learn from because you spent the time, the money, the effort to develop it.

So I've been blessed to have great mentors. A mentor can lead you through because he or she's at the other end already so he or she knows where there's the fork in the road. Where there's the hole in the road, or where there's a stop sign.

Most people today don't want to get the coach to help them work out. They don't want to get the coach for the mindset. They don't want to get the coach to help them with their business, their daily method of operation. They want to try to do it themselves. My dad used to tell me, “a wise man learns from the mistakes of others and a fool learns from his own or her own”.

I think mindset's important. I don't think it matters where you came from. I think it matters where you're going.

I mean I'm a dropped out of college to do network marketing and I have a son who's a cpa. I don't even know how to balance my own checkbook and this kid's a cpa, so it doesn't matter what your past is, your future and where you want to go is the only thing that matters.

Think about it. You have people today that are not just Billionaires, their net worth is one hundred or two hundred billion and a billion is a thousand million! I mean the abundance of money is out there today and the abundance of resources out there today is unbelievable.

Some people think that if I win you lose. You know if you win I lose no, there's abundance everywhere. You can have what you want but you have to see it here.

Bob Proctor, another mentor of mine, used to always talk about the paradigm shift. He used to say if you can see it in your mind you can see it your hand. Everything we have whether it's this iphone that somebody thought of, the laptop or pc you're on, a can of sparkling water, these glasses, anything and everything was thought before it was here. Network marketing isn’t any different. You have to see where you want to go with your product or service. You have to see where you want to go financially and then you have to book in when you're going to do it.

It's a simple business. It's not easy, but none of these businesses are easy. Sometimes we get all wrapped up into this “oh network marketing is easy”. No, it's simple. It's not easy. People also wonder if they can do it part time. Yes, you can, but it depends what you're doing part time.

Time management's the key.

Am I going through social media to see what everybody else is doing or am I posting on social media.

Am I organizing my desk and my shelves and dusting off my warehouse or am I making phone calls.

Am I sending out emails.

Am I sending text messages.

Today the business with technology, Sam is so much easier than the old days. We used to mail stuff to people. I know some people don't use mail anymore. We used to send you the product. I'd have to go to the post office send it to you, wait untill you got it. I'm going to send you a video. Send it to you and wait until you get it.

Today, in 2 seconds I can literally go in in 10 minutes, text twenty friends with a link to my product, service or company and so all the techniques are going to change. I don't know people here if they're familiar with what the metaverse is you know Facebook changed their name to meta the virtual world that's coming. You know the virtual reality glasses and all that ar vr I mean that's the future. People are going to be living in this outer space virtual reality, the metaverse and it's already starting so Facebook, it's going to be my space.

Why do you think they changed their name, I mean Mark Zuckerberg is no Dummy. You know Instagram, snapchat, Tiktok, that's all going to pass.

You know the thing that Wayne Gretzky used to say is “the reason I'm the greatest hockey player of all time is I didn't see the where it is, I anticipated where the puck was going”.

I need to know where the puck's going in order to get the puck and the goal. Same thing in life. Don't look at what happened in the past, focusing on myspace and learning Facebook is stupid. Where are we going tomorrow and the next day and I think people get caught up, like you said, in the in the the techniques versus the the concepts. Because concepts like, I said stay constant techniques change.

Samantha Gamble:

True. You're absolutely right. I mean I look at how I did the business before. We did the home parties. I put flyers on cars. I was the queen of three way calls. I was the 3 way master. But because I was working my business in around my kids, I couldn't travel all the time. I couldn't go to people's homes and do home parties. I couldn't do it, so I did three-way calls and now it's Facebook group chat. So the activity is still the same so our job is still to talk to people, expose people that's it. How we do it is going to change next year from what it is today. Last year on Tiktok, people were having their reels go viral. They would wake up and they would have a ton of customer orders. That's a thing of the past already and that was just last year.

I remember there was a story, you and I both had the same mentor Larry Thompson, and when you were in Herbalife, you were doing really well. You had your plane and everything, you were making a ton of money, but it was flat. You weren't increasing and you wanted to go to the next level and you got frustrated. You called Larry to get some...

If you had an unwavering amount of confidence, how would that impact your life? Episode #21

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 04:00:00 -0400

If you had an unwavering amount of confidence, how would that impact your life? #21

If you had an unwavering amount of confidence, how would that change your life?

I have asked a handful of people in our community this question and here were their responses:

Kelli - Take greater relationship risks

Lisa - I would fire my boss and build my network marketing business full-time

Beth - Start more businesses

Christopher - It would be an immense change to my life

Rochelle - I would say yes more often

Margie - It would help me accomplish some personal goals I’ve had for some time

Jill - It would make my social and professional life so much better

Kim - I would be a lot less depressed about the world around us

Vicki - I would lead better at work and home, improve

communication

Carole - It would lower my anxiety greatly and improve my level of trust in many things

As you can see, having total confidence is a game changer.

How would your life improve if you had a new level of confidence?

The foundation of your success is believing in yourself.

We have talked before about visualizing your future self. Last week on episode 20, we talked about perspective and how to change it in 2 steps and one of those steps was visualizing what your future would look like in great detail.

Confidence is the true belief that you really can accomplish and achieve what you are visualizing.

Sounds easy enough, right?…

Well, unfortunately confidence doesn’t just kick in automatically when we summon it, especially when we are trying something new.

Sounds like a catch 22 doesn’t it?

Confidence is the foundation of our success, yet, we don’t naturally just have confidence, especially when doing something new, like building a Network Marketing business.

So how can you GET the confidence you need to have the success you desire for you and your children?

Well, there is something that comes before confidence.

That something is Courage.

It will take courage to give you the nudge, the push you need to do what you have to do to get the results you want.

Now, to muster up the courage, you have to be crystal clear on why you are doing what you are doing.

What is worth the effort?

What is it that is worth you getting outside of your comfort zone?

If you haven’t done so yet, go through the 7 Levels to Uncover Your Driving Power. It’s episode 12 How to become unstoppable.

It’s deeper than your “why”, much deeper. It is what you will need to have the courage to do what’s necessary, to take the uncomfortable action and get outside of your comfort zone.

Here’s the great news…

You will only have to use courage to push through, with anything new, just a few times before your confidence will kick it.

Once it does kick in, you will be unwaveringly confident.

The more you do this, the quicker your confidence will build in all areas of your life.

Confidence in building your network marketing business will then build your Commitment.

Your commitment level is something that your team as well as your prospects can sense.

Commitment acts like a magnet. It will attract the people you want and repel the ones you don’t.

You have chosen the company you are with for a good reason. Our very first episode goes through the 8 check list items to go through to ensure you are with the right company for you.

If you haven’t gone through those, I highly encourage you to do so.

Once you have made sure you are with the right company for you, then commit!

Get in line and stay in line.

Don’t get shiny object syndrome.

When you are building a network marketing business, I can tell you that there is a good chance people in your upline will quit. There’s a good chance people in your downline will quit.

It will make you want to quit. Don’t!

Don’t let anyone hold your dream or you hostage just because their commitment level is low.

Your dreams have been planted in you for a reason. Your gifts you’ve been given aren’t for you!

They are for you to share. There are for other people.

To live the life you truly desire for you and your children and to have a positive impact on the lives of others you must first have the

Courage to learn, try and do something new which will then turn into unwavering Confidence.

That confidence will then solidify your Commitment. Your level of commitment will attract the right people to you.

The result…is a successful network marketing business that will pay you week after week, month after month and year after year for the rest of your life.

It all starts with having the Courage to take the first step.

Want to Speed Up Your Results? Episode #20

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Want to Speed Up Your Results? #20

There is 1 thing that will create real speed in your business and it’s probably not what you think.

It’s not the latest and greatest system, or a way to get qualified leads, or the new social media algorithm…it’s your perspective.

It’s where you spend the majority of your time in your mind.

Perspective is the amount of time you spend in a position or a thought -

Here’s an Example of having a negative perspective -

“this is hard”

“I look stupid”

“I can’t do this”

“I’m stuck”

“I’m overwhelmed”

You can Change your perspective in 2 steps

Before I go through the 2 steps, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have so you and your children can live the life you truly deserve. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

Now, here’s how to Change your perspective in 2 steps

#1 - Change how you describe it -

Example - Instead of “I look stupid” say “I’m not going to notice my missteps”

Instead of “I can’t do this” say “I’m not going acknowledge or recognize my feeling of lack or not good enough”

Instead of “I’m stuck (or overwhelmed)” say “I’m not going to give energy to the feelings of being stuck (or overwhelmed)”

Note: We are so conscientious about how we talk to others, We are even nice to complete strangers in the grocery store, yet, for some reason, we do not extend that same curtesy to ourselves. We would never tell someone “you’re not good enough, you should just quit, you can’t do this, you look stupid”

Yet, we tell ourselves negative statements all the time.

That has to stop… NOW!

Our Self Talk is incredibly important, especially when shifting your perspective. Your self talk also cues people in on how to treat you.

You’ll find, if you are very negative with yourself and hard on yourself, you’ll most likely attract people who won’t treat you the way you want to be treated, why, because they are getting their cues from you.

Look back at your past relationships, you’ll see the pattern. I know I sure do. Every guy I dated and even the one I married, cheated on me and was abusive. I thought my “picker” was just broken. Turns out, they were all taking their cues on how to treat me from how I treated myself.

My friend, this took me decades to understand. Please don’t let it take you another minute.

You are an awesome, amazing person who deserves nothing but the best in all areas of your life.

Okay…moving on…

#2 - this is the magic…Pour speed onto where you want to be by Visualizing yourself there - doing it - having the result you want - the success you want - the Experiences you want -

So, what is it that you want from your network marketing career? I mean what do you really really want if there wasn’t anything holding you back, the Sky’s the limit…What is it?

Once you are crystal clear on that, I mean 1000% clear, then ask yourself -

What would it look like? -

What’s the rank?

How many people will be on your team?

How many customers will you have?

What’s the residual income?

How much do you want to make every month, every year?

Next, ask yourself:

How will I know it’s true?

Would people recognize your accomplishment’s? Maybe your upline and your company would congratulate you on your accomplishments.

Maybe your team would be seeing tremendous success themselves.

Maybe you would know it’s true because your family would be so proud of you.

Is there a big bonus you’d receive by achieving what you really really want?

Maybe an award and they’d present it to you at the next large convention.

Maybe you would know it’s true because for the first time in years and years, you don’t feel the financial stress. You check your mail regularly, versus ignoring it because you know there’s bills in there that you can’t pay. Now you check your mail and pay your bills on time, every time without having to juggle which bill you pay this month and which bill can wait until next month. You go to the grocery store and buy what you want versus just what you need and you don’t buy just the items that are on sale.

Last question to ask yourself:

How would that make me feel?

Would it feel, Empowering! Freeing! Like the shackles have finally come off! -

That’s how I felt and I can’t wait for you to feel that too!

There is nothing like it.

Especially when you are at your company’s biggest convention of the year and you look around the room and realize that most of the people there are in your organization. It’s enough to give you goosebumps and bring tears to your eyes.

Would you feel such a tremendous amount of relief and satisfaction?

Be overcome by a tremendous amount of gratitude and appreciation for your team and family. Would your heart be full?

Now, here’s what you do.

Before going to sleep- take a couple minutes every night and go through Step 1 and Step 2

Step 1 - Change how you talk about your current circumstances - Change the language.

Example: “I am not stuck. I have a clear vision and focus. I have positive momentum in all areas of my life and I am helping thousands of people around the world live the life that they and their children deserve”

Step 2 - Visualize every night -

What would it look like?

How will I know when I have it?

How will that make me feel?

Choose not to dip into that lack or negative mindset, move to the creation of what you want.

Every continuous thought we have is a unit of energy. Therefore we gain energy by knocking out thoughts that don’t serve us because they occupy brain space.

You either Release or Tackle your thoughts. Don’t hold onto the thoughts that will not serve you and where you want to be.

MOST IMPORTANT - Create the memories of your future!

See it

Feel it

Smell it

Be it - Be in it

It has happened -

Use polarity only to create the perspective you want to live into, but don’t hang out with the negative, simply use it only as a comparison.

So my friend, don’t dwell on the negative - don’t pay attention to the missteps. Speak as kindly to yourself as you do a stranger in the grocery store. And create the memories of your future.

Be sure to do Steps 1 & 2 every night and you’ll be surprised how quickly things will click into place for you.

Episode #

Are you jumping the gun on your close, or stalling out? Episode #19

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 17:00:00 -0400

Episode 19 Are you jumping the gun on your close, or stalling out?

How is your closing ratio?

Are you reaching out to people, filling your pipeline, being postured as we covered last week and the week before in episodes 17 & 18?

Yet, people are STILL not going your way? They’re still not joining or buying from you.

Then it’s time to check your positioning.

What I mean by this is, what position is your prospect in?

Position 0 Cold market - you don’t know them, they don’t know you.

Position 1 is someone who knows you.

Position 2 is they are open to taking a look

Position 3 is they watched, or went through your exposure tool (whatever you and your support team uses that grabs their attention)

Position 4 is they like what they heard or saw and want to go to the next step.

Position 5 you follow up and pop the question

Position 6 go through the ordering / sign up process

Position 7 have them go through your teams onboarding process

Position 8 help them duplicate what you just did with them

If you know how to drive a stick shift, you know you can’t go from 1st gear to 5th. It’s too big of a jump. Your engine will lag. You’ll be pressing the gas pedal and not going anywhere. You have go back down to 2nd gear and work your way up to 5th gear.

This is the exact same thing.

If you jump to position 5 without going through 1-4, your prospect will not be on the same page as you. You will come off as being spammy, desperate, pushy…nothing good will come out of it. They will not join or buy from you.

Same goes for if you stay in one position for too long. If you’re getting on the freeway and you have your car still in 3rd gear, your engine will rev out and possibly blow a head gasket.

Often times we get to position 3 and either never follow up, or keep giving them more and more videos to watch, posts to read, calls to tune into, etc. Never getting them to position 4, which is your ace in the hole by the way.

No matter how positive they were, if you don’t stay on top of your follow up, or bombard them with information overload, you’re not moving them up in position and they will not join or buy from you.

Let’s quickly break down each position:

Before I do that, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

Position 0 - They don’t know you, you don’t know them. You have 2 options here:

You can forge a genuine relationship with them. Get to know them. They get to know you. This takes quite a bit of time, especially to form a genuine connection, not just a “I’m getting to know you so I can pitch you” connection.
You can cold marketing message them and jump to position 2. This is the only time it’s okay to skip a position. You can check out Episode 13 to learn how to do this effectively.

Position 1 is simple - You have a relationship with them of some sort. They already know like and trust you.

Position 2 you have sent them a message, or talked to them and asked them if they’d be open to taking a look at how you’re helping people make money through social media, or whatever it is for your company and give them an out- If not, no big deal at all.

For the product you know that would help them, you’d ask them if they’d be open to checking out your product that will finally alleviate their joint pain, or whatever your product will do for themIf not, no big deal at all.

Position 3 - every company has a different exposure tool, usually a video. When exposing a person to your opportunity, your video should be less than 15min, but longer than 5min. If it’s less than 5, they aren’t getting enough information to make Position #4 effective. You’ll end up going from Position 4 back to 3 again and giving them something else to review. Longer than 15 min, they won’t watch it and you’ll be caught the follow up trap of asking them if they’ve watched it yet. You’ll stall out in position 3.

Once they have watched the video, immediately move to Position 4.

Position 4 - this is where your support team comes in. Your support team are the 2, 3 or 4 people who are where you want to be with your company, or they are well on their way. You connect your prospect with them immediately following position 3.

I highly recommend connecting them to your support team through Facebook messenger. It’s way easier than trying to line up and work around everyone’s schedule to connect on a 3 way call or a zoom.

Make the introductions. Edify your support team to your prospect and then let them take the conversation away. 3rd party validation is priceless! (Check out episode 5 - don’t be a loan ranger - to learn how to identify and work efficiently with your support team)

If you get your prospect to this position, your chances of getting them to buy or join you sky rocket!

Which leads to Positions 5.

Position 5 is where you ask them the ultimate question. If you went through all of the positions, you’d then give them the options to join and ask “Which option would you like to get started with, I got started with xyz because xyz reason (most value, better selection of products, etc)?”. By telling them which package you started with, that helps them decide how they should start. More often than not, they’ll do what you did.

If they aren’t quite ready and have more questions, fall back to position 4.

Position 6 Give them clear instructions on how to place their order. If need be, walk them through it on the phone. Not every company has an easy to navigate website and order process. You want to make this as easy of a process as possible without doing it for them.

Always remember this pro tip: Every interaction with your prospect is doubling as their training. When they join your team, they will do the same thing with their prospects that you did with them…good or bad, so my strong advice is, follow a system. Use your tools. Go through the positions.

Why, because it’s duplicatable.

Position 7 help them go through the onboarding process. Don’t have them go through absolutely everything. They just need to know enough to get them into action. You and your support team will help fill in the gaps in the beginning.

If they get bogged down learning all the ins and outs, they won’t get started and they’ll lose the momentum they had when they signed up.

Which brings us to Position 8 - Help them duplicate the exact process you put them through. I like to help any new partner get a customer within the first 24hrs. Help them get into action. The best way to do this is for you to be very clear on what they want out of their new career with you and why they want it. Then ask them how serious are they about achieving that on a scale of 1-10. If they are an 8 or higher, they have just given you permission to help drive them into action and into success.

Rinse and repeat my friend.

Building a network marketing business is very simple. Don’t over complicate it.

Just do the same thing day in and day out.

Put people in position and moving them to the next position until they are duplicating you, or they tell you “no”.

Episode #18 What is Posture and Why is it so Important when Building Your Network Marketing Business

Posture: What is is and Why is it so important to have when building your network marketing business? Episode 18

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Posture: What is is and Why is it so important to have when building your network marketing business?

Posture.

What is posture and why is it so important to have when building your network marketing business?

Posture is the belief in what you have regardless of external acceptance or approval.

Most people lack posture, especially when faced with negativity, or push back.

Having posture when building your network marketing business, is the difference between being great at getting new business and being terrible at it.

Before I get into how to have posture, which will drastically increase your closing rate, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business success guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

Okay, so…Having posture, is you coming from a position of strength, not weakness.

Often times, when we are talking to someone about our products or opportunity and they say they are too busy right now to take a look, or maybe they are even flat out negative and say something like, “I’ve tried one of those things before. Only the people at the top make money. It’s a scam.”, we go right into convincing mode.

We love our company and we love our products and we just know that if they take a look, there’s a great chance that they’ll love them too so we go into all the reasons why our company is so great and how it’s different than anything else out there. How the comp plan is the best in the industry and the products are patented, they’re the only products doctors recommend. Can’t get them anywhere else in the world…blah blah blah.

When people are skeptical or negative, we tend to go into this convincing mode, especially if we are desperate.

Desperation doesn’t work.

We have to have the energy of not needing them to join or buy.

Begging and pleading doesn’t work

Don’t try to convince or defend in the attempt to turn them around

There is a 100% chance you are going to be hit with all kinds of replies that are going to test your Posture.

People being;

Negative

Busy

Don’t think they can do it

Are all tests of your posture

When we get hit with these tests, most Network Marketers think;

Okay, even though they are too busy right now

Okay, even though they are negative, how can I still get them to buy

convert

turn around

They are pulling away from you and your are leaning into them, chasing them. That doesn’t work.

Think about if you were on a 1st date. He was nice and pretty funny. You had a good time. As you are saying goodbye, he asks if you’d like to go on a second date. You told him you’d love to, but you’re super busy right now with the holidays coming up and the kids home from school, but you’ll let him know as soon as you’re freed up a bit.

He said he completely understood. However, 30 min later he reaches out to you and tells you that he’s the best guy out there, he’s not like anyone else you’ve ever dated, he’ll adapt his schedule to yours and he’ll be available whenever you are, the next day, the day after, the day after that, the day after that and he gives you all the reasons why you need to go on a second date with him right away, completely dismissing the fact you told him you were busy.

He’s coming off as being desperate, pushy and needy. A complete turn off. You would go from being interested in seeing him again, to being completely repelled. There is not a chance that you’ll ever go out with him again and you’ll most likely block him. LOL

When we are hit with responses that test our posture, we often look for the “what do I do” to get them to go my way.

So…Instead of thinking of “what do I do or say to get them turned around” think of of “who you want to be”

Have the “Be” Posture -

If someone says they’re busy, say “Hey, no problem. I’m slammed too, but reach out to me when you’re free and I’ll do my best to respond” or, if they tell you they’re too busy to take a look right now, but follow up with them next week, say “Shoot, I don’t have any openings next week to follow up with you. I have an opening the following Thursday”

Be busier than they are.

Respond the way you want to be.

Meaning, if you are worried about having enough money to pay your electricity bill, you are going to want to slip into the “what do I do” to get them to go my way even though they said they were too busy, negative, said they can’t do it, they’ve tried network marketing before and it didn’t work, etc.

Versus

If you have reached your financial and rank goal in your company, let’s say you have even superseded your goal by a mile, how would you handle someone saying they were too busy to take a look at what you’re doing, or were negative, said they can’t do it, network marketing doesn’t work, etc.

You wouldn’t chase them. You wouldn’t lean into them as they were pulling away, as your posture was being tested. You would lean away and take it away from them.

I know this may feel counterintuitive to lean away from people if you really need the money, but you will actually close more people if you carry the posture of your future, successful you.

This is about being effective.

By being postured, you will be more effective.

If someone is super negative, be postured, come from a position of strength, and say “hey, I get it. This isn’t a fit for everyone, no problem, I’m sure you know people who would like to (make more money), (build a side business), etc, let me know, thank you so much”

Btw, the people who are negative, they’ll be taken back by your posture and more often than not, their curiosity will kick in and they’ll become open to seeing what it is you have. No one expects you to pull away, everyone expects you to go into convincing mode.

If someone says they can’t do this kind of business - “I understand what you’re saying there’s a single mom of 3 children who was on welfare and living in her care and now, she’s debt free, her kids go to a private school and she just bought a home, but not everyone wants to do this kind of thing. Do you know anyone who would like to earn some extra money?”

Don’t make a counter point to their objection - to their leaning away - the posture tests.

Think of the posture tests as a brick wall, would you run full force into the brick wall, no. If you lean into them as they are lean away, that is you, running full force, into that brick wall, head first.

Don’t counter. You’ll lose.

If your posture is being weak, needy or desperate, it won’t work.

Remember, you are the one with the solution to their problem(s). You’re the prize.

Don’t be arrogant, be confident. Have the posture of the person you want to be.

This is the difference between someone who is great at recruiting, building a team and consistently growing their customer base and someone who is bad at it.

It’s all in your posture.

As a side note, it’s okay to be selective when your are recruiting. These are people you are going to be working with for years to come, if done correctly.

You don’t want everyone. Trust me. You want people who are hungry and coachable.

So keep you posture throughout the process and most likely you’ll end up with the right people on your team.

If there is someone who is positive, but you’re not sure if they are a good fit for you. Maybe you don’t know if they will be coachable, or if they’re hungry, it’s okay to ask them.

Tell them,

“I only work with people who are coachable and hungry. I make it my goal to help them reach their goals and if they are not willing to learn, they won’t have the type of success they were expecting and it’s just a waste of time for both of us. So are you coachable and hungry?”

4 Ways to always keep your pipeline full of people to talk to about your products and opportunity Episode #17

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 14:15:00 -0400

4 ways you can fill your pipeline and never run out of people to talk to about your products and or opportunity

Episode #17

Pipeline is Network Marketing 101.

Without a full pipeline, you don’t and won’t have a business. Our business is a people business, therefore, we have to have “people” to talk to, but where do we find these people?

Well my friend, it’s easier than you may think.

I’ll let you in on a secret, if you don’t have people to follow up with today, yesterday, or even last week, it’s because your pipeline was empty last week, the week before and the week before that, so you are not planting seeds.

You are not exposing people to your tools, walking them through your process, or using the ATM method. (For more training on that, see Episode #6 Don’t be a Fool, use a Tool)

Social media is an amazing tool to help us build our network marketing businesses, however, we can’t just post and pray.

It doesn’t matter how great our content is that we post, that will never fill your pipeline.

Posting content gets people familiar with you. They can get the know, like and trust factor, but posting will not fill your pipeline.

To fill your pipeline, you have to be strategic and purposeful with your activities.

Throughout my 26 years in this amazing industry, I have helped thousands and thousands of people around the world build their network marketing businesses.

However, there was always a common denominator with the people who weren’t experiencing the kind of success they were hoping for.

That was, their pipeline was empty.

We have all come across the “anti-mlmers” who say network marketing doesn’t work. It doesn’t work, if you’re not talking and exposing new people to your products and or opportunity.

It isn’t any different than a realtor.

If a realtor doesn’t reach out to people to see if they want to sell their home now or in the future. If a realtor doesn’t reach out and build relationships so people will come to them when they want to buy or sell a home, the realtors pipeline will be empty and that realtor will not be listing any properties nor will they be selling any properties.

Are people ever “Anti-Realtors”, no, because it is understood that a realtor has to keep their pipeline full in order to have success.

Network marketing isn’t any different my friend.

The great advantage we have as network marketers versus a realtor, is we have the opportunity to build a residual income. Realtors sell a home. Earn a commission and start again.

So, how do we keep your pipeline full so you never run out of people to talk to?

Before I get into the 4 ways to make sure your pipeline is always full, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

How many Facebook friends do you have? How many Instagram friends do you have? How about LinkedIn? How many have your reached out to? - Yes, you can message your social media friends. That is not spamming. That is not cold messaging. Why would you be Facebook friends with anyone, if you can’t message them.

Now, when you message them, you don’t just tell them about your product and opportunity and give them your order link.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Be a human. Have a human, natural conversation. Your message to them can be “Hey Abigale, we haven’t chatted in quite sometime. I just saw your recent post and I wanted to reach out and say hi. What are you up to these days?”

You only have to go back and forth 2-3 times before asking them if they’d be open to taking a look at you’re doing. Don’t drag it out, but don’t hit them over the head with the first message either and use your tools. Don’t get into details. ATM them - Add, Tag and Message them with a member of your support team.

2. Join groups where your ideal customer is hanging out. When someone posts in the group and asks a question, be helpful and offer advice. Comment on other peoples posts within the group. This is a great way to meet new people you wouldn’t have ordinarily met.

Note: this is why your posting is important, because the people from these groups who don’t know you, will go to your page and snoop around. If you have good, valuable content, they will be more inclined to want to hear about what do, what you have and how you can help them.

3. Referrals. Always ask fro referrals from your existing customers, but also from anyone you have spoken to, who isn’t interested yet. Everyone knows someone.

4. You can also use the cold market messaging technique that I went through in detail in Episode #13 “How to build your network marketing business using Cold Market messaging?” I give the exact scripts to use. How to use them and who to use them with?

Quick recap:

Take full advantage of the friends you already have on social media.
Join Facebook groups where you Ideal Customer is already hanging out and provide value
Always ask for referrals
Learn how to use cold marketing messaging

The Daily Gratitude Challenge (5 Steps to a Happier Life) - Episode #16

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0400

The Daily Gratitude Challenge

(5 Steps to a Happier Life)

We are told to give thanks, be grateful, especially this time of year.

It sometimes can seem easier said than done. When you are a single parent with a job you hate. No time to spend with your own children. Feeling the single parent guilt. Barely making ends meet, or not making ends meet. (Pancakes and Mac n cheese were my dinner go to’s for a brief period of time). You know the holidays are coming up and you just can’t give your children the Christmas or holiday you’d like to.

I know this, because I have been there. It is difficult to be grateful, everyday, no matter what is going on. It is, it’s hard. We try not to be negative. We try to find the positive and find even the smallest of things to be grateful for, but when life gets more and more difficult, it gets harder and harder to find even the smallest of things to be grateful for. They are over shadowed by things in life that seem to be sucking the joy right out of us.

However, just like brushing our teeth, tying our shoes, making our bed or grabbing a cup of coffee everyday the attitude of gratitude can and will become second nature to you, if you are willing to give a little bit of effort…not much, just a little.

Here are 5 daily action steps to incorporate into your day that will give you the attitude of gratitude each and every single day, no matter what is going on in your life.

Before I get into the 5 action steps, I wanted to tell you about the free gift I have waiting for you over on spspcommunity.com - it’s the ultimate home business guide with the 7 insider tips that will help you build the successful Network Marketing business you really want to have. Go grab it…not right this second, but after this episode LOL - pop over to www.spspcommunity.com

Okay - here are the 5 action steps to incorporate into your day that will give you the attitude of gratitude each and every single day, no matter what is going on in your life.

#1. Notice your negative thoughts. Not stopping them, that’s just about impossible, but we can catch them, acknowledge them and then release them. Negative thoughts are only harmful if we hold on to them and take ownership of them. Let them go as if you’re watching a leaf float down a river.

You maybe thinking “Sam, easy for you to say, you’re no longer struggling to make ends meet. How in the heck do I let my negative thoughts go like a tricking leaf floating down a river?”, Well, that was my thought when I first heard this concept. What I did, when a negative thought popped in my mind (believe me, with an abusive addict for a husband, there were many), I would envision that negative thought written on a post-it note and watched that post-it note float away, down the river, until I could no longer see it. Believe me, the more you do this, the better at it you will be and the quicker you’ll be at catching and releasing the negative thoughts.

You’ll actually begin to catch other people’s negative words or actions like you never have before too. Side note - limit your exposure negative people. They are not going to help you live a better life.

#2. First thing in the morning, before your feet hit the floor, take a big stretch - arms over your head, point your toes, arch your back, tighten your muscles, take a deep breath and then release it all. This will instantly get your blood flowing. Creating circulation, which automatically makes us feel better and changes our state.

#3. After your “Good morning stretch” take less than a min (more if you like, but it doesn’t have to be) to make a mental note of 5 things you are grateful for. It could be you are grateful for your comfortable bed, warm blankets, waking up to another day, your family, the birds chirping. It does’t have to be the big things. We just want to generate the feeling of gratitude in our body. We want to condition our mind and body to get use to this feeling. Remember, we want the attitude of gratitude to become as second nature to us as brushing our teeth.

#4. Find 1 thing you like about yourself (I’m all for finding more, but if you are anything like me, in the beginning, finding just 1 thing I liked about myself was difficult for me). My self worth was at an all time low.

By the way, this again, can be something small, such as “ I like how kind I am to others”, as an example.

#5. At the end of the day, when you are closing out your work day, or before you start getting ready for bed (don’t do this when you’re hopping into bed and you’re completely exhausted), have a little energy to tap into-, do a quick review of your day and congratulate yourself on a win you had that day. Again, it doesn’t have to be a big win. Your win could be that you reached out to the amount of people you wanted to today, or the fact that you took 3 10 min breaks throughout your day and moved your body. Congratulate yourself and tell yourself that you are… indeed… proud of YOU!

As James Clear, author of Atomic Habits (one of the best books ever by the way) says, “If you get one percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done.” He also says, “Most people need consistency more than they need intensity”.

Stay consistent with these 5 daily action steps and you will have the attitude of gratitude. It will become second nature to you.

You’ll notice that being in a daily state of gratitude, your thoughts will begin to change.

And as Dr Joe Dispenza teaches, our thoughts lead to our choices. Our choices lead to our actions and behaviors. Our actions and behaviors give us an experience. That experience then creates an emotion. That emotion leads us back to our thoughts. If we have good thoughts, this cycle will be amazing and makes our life better and better. If our thoughts are negative or victim (life happens to us) type of thoughts, poor me thoughts, that will lead to poor choices, which will lead to poor actions and behaviors that will give us a poor experience that will create a poor emotion that will then create another poor thought. Vicious cycle that will be detrimental to living a best life.

We have to make sure our thoughts match up with the person we want to be and the life we want. Live as that person now and the “how and what” will come.

It all starts with having an attitude of gratitude my friend.

Believe

Behave

Become

…

7 Tips That Will Help You Get More Traffic, Engagement & Leads from Facebook - Episode #15

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0400

7 Tips That Will Help You Get More Traffic, Engagement & Leads from Facebook

Did you know that Facebook now has over 2.6 billion monthly active users? That's a lot of people! If you're building a network marketing business, heck, any business, that means there's a lot of potential customers on there just waiting to find you. However, if you have been posting on Facebook for the past year, you have probably noticed that barely anyone see's anything you post. It's the norm now to have your post only be shown to less than 6% of your entire following. So how do you increase your traffic, engagement and make sure your ideal customers are seeing your content and not getting lost in the shuffle? Tune in to find out my friend!

Invest, learn, teach - Invest time and or money into learning something that your ideal customer is interested in then teach it. This will give you quality content to post to improve your engagement. People go to social media, to be social, entertained and to even learn. They don't go there to be sold or to look for something to buy. Grab their attention by giving them content that has value for them.
Don't post to your feed unless you have time to take 10 minutes to comment on other people's posts first. Then post to your feed. Wait 10 minutes. Then take another 10 minutes to comment on other peoples posts again (new posts, different people than the pre-post 10 minutes). The reason for this is it warms up the Facebook algorithm. Facebook rewards those who are active. If you are actively engaging on other people's feeds, Facebook will show your post to more people.
Engage with every single comment you receive on your posts. This is the critically important part of generating leads using social media, Facebook in particular. Note: In the beginning, even engage with people who have just liked your post, but didn't leave a comment. Send them a quick DM say something like "hey, thanks for the like on my post about xyz"
Reduce the amount of friends you have on Facebook. If you have maxed out your friends on Facebook, yet only a small handful of people who are seeing your content, it's because Facebook's algorithm is seeing you have a bunch of friends and little to no engagement. Therefore, they are not seeing your content as being valuable enough to share with others. They don't think it's good. (Facebook is saying this, not me. lol) I highly suggest you go through your friends, just a handful a day. If they haven't posted anything in the past 6 months, unfriend them, unless it's someone you are close with (don't unfriend them, you don't want that drama. lol). If you reduce the amount of friends you have and are selective of who you add as a Facebook friend moving forward, your reach, exposure and engagement will increase.
Use relevant hashtags - Hashtags are a great way to reach people who are interested in what you're posting about but don't necessarily follow you yet. When used correctly, hashtags can help improve both your engagement and traffic significantly. Hashtags are a great way to categorize your content and make it easy for people to find. When you use a hashtag, Facebook will add a link to your post that people can click on to see all posts with that hashtag. This makes it easy for people to find your content, and it also helps to broaden your reach. The best way to use hashtags is to research popular ones that are relevant to your business or topic, and then start using them in your posts. You can also create your own hashtags to build up awareness and get people talking about your brand. Whatever route you choose, just make sure you're using hashtags regularly to maximize their potential.
Go live! - Videos get much higher engagement than regular posts so going live is a great way to reach more people and get them interested in what you're all about. Live videos also show up higher in the newsfeed than regular posts so it's a win-win! Now, you don't have to do a full training. You don't have to go live for and hour. Using lives to generate more traffic, keep the short 5-10 mins. Give value. Incorporate step #1. ILT Invest, Learn, Teach. You can absolutely have longer lives where you do an entire training on something, but that you spend time promoting and building for. That is a different animal than going live with the sole objective of generating traffic which in turn, turn into leads.
Reels - Yep, Facebook has reels. Reels are short, looping videos that Facebook users can watch and share. By creating engaging Reels, you can reach a wider audience and generate more traffic for your Facebook page. Here are some tips for creating successful Reels:

- Keep it short and sweet: Facebook users have short attention spans, so make sure your Reels are concise and to the point.

- Be creative: come up with fun and original ideas that will capture people's attention. You don't have to be original and create everything from scratch. Spend about 30 min a week scrolling through accounts that are relevant to your market and save the reels you like and use them as inspiration to create yours. You can even simply remix them.

- Use relevant hashtags: this will help people find your Reels more easily.

- Share regularly: the more Reels you share, the more traffic you're likely to generate.

By following these tips, you can create Reels that will help you reach a larger audience on Facebook and promote your business more effectively.

There you have it! 7 easy tips that will help improve both your engagement and traffic on Facebook quickly and easily. Get out there and start implementing these tips today! Your ideal customers are waiting...

3 strategies to maximize your energy and productivity as well as the top 4 tips on how to manage your calendar

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0400

3 strategies to maximize your energy and productivity as well as the top 4 tips on how to manage your calendar.

#1. Plan your Ideal Week - This will be your framework

This is essentially your perfect week, if everything goes smoothly, there aren’t any distractions, or wrenches thrown in and the stars are aligned

This will give you the blueprint, foundation or framework of what your ideal week would look like.

All the tasks you need to get done.

All the family time scheduled in.

All of your personal time scheduled in.

When planning your week, there are 3 areas of your life to fit into your schedule.

High leverage work - this is the work and tasks that only you can do, things you can’t delegate. These are the things that require your expertise, knowledge or personal touch.
Administrative work - these are items like checking your email, facebook messenger, texts, paying bills
Personal activity - appts (doctor, hair, nails, etc.), volunteering at your childrens school, carpool, time with friends, family, etc

#2. Daily Big 3

These are your “come hell or high water they’re going to get done” items.

These big 3 are tasks that are helping you get to your major goal. That way, you are chipping away and getting closer to where you ultimately want to be with your business and your personal life.

These Big 3 are your momentum building or mini goals. You’ll be making constant and consistent progress everyday and feeling that sense of accomplishment which will continue to move you forward.

#3. Startup / Shutdown Ritual

Rituals you set to start and end your day will bring you more clarity and you’ll be less stressed and you’ll increase your productivity in your business.

Block out 20-60 minutes at the beginning and end of your day to carry out your ritual taks.

Do what you know you can stick with, if that’s 20 min great, if it’s 60 min, then great. I do about 60 min in the morning and about 20 min at the end of my work day.

Example of a startup ritual - here’s what I do-

Meditate

Visualize my day

Review my mantras

Review my calendar

Review my big 3

Set any appointments and alarms I need for the day

Example of a shutdown ritual - here’s what I do-

Review my successes from the day

Prepare for the next day

Check my calendar for the day and for the next day. Did I get everything done? If not, I move those items to the next day.

Here are the top 4 tips for managing a busy calendar.

#1. Be realistic, know yourself, & identify patterns.

Build your calendar around your habits and who you are versus planning a perfect.

#2. Learn to say no, plan for buffers and allow for rest.

No one can do it all and you’ll burn out if you try.

#3. Prioritize tasks and use a Time management tool.

I use Google and Asana -

I used my reminders on my phone for ages before asana. Just make sure you itemize your items, tasks, calls, etc. and put a time with them, don’t just list them as a to-do list.

Make sure you schedule your day.

Your day probably won’t run perfectly, but you’ll know with your shut down ritual what tasks you need to roll into the next day, but your Big 3 should be done

#4. Batch as much as possible to avoid context switching. When you have to switch tasks, back and forth, you’ll spend way more energy than necessary.

As an example, video your reels all on 1 day (by the way, you can schedule reels now on Instagram) versus, having to shoot videos everyday of the week.

Sit down and create all of your social media posts

Block out time to do your reach outs

Don’t flip flop back and forth.

(Closing)

Have your 7 Levels Deep worksheet in your sites. Remember your Ultimate Driving Force.

Commit to yourself.

Determine your boundaries. - A great mentor of mine, the late great Jim Rohn always said 2 things -

#1 “if it’s not on your calendar, it won’t get done” if you want to go on a vacation, put it on your calendar

#2 “be where you are” - if you’re sitting down to dinner with your children, don’t be on your phone. Don’t work. Be with them. Have conversations. Be there 100%. If you are in the middle of your reach outs and prospecting time, don’t scroll through social media or watch netflix, the there 100%

“Be where you are”

By the way if you're looking to build your network marketing business or you've been trying and maybe it's not going quite as as well as you want it to go hop over to spspcommunity.com.

All right my friend until next week, take care of yourself.

How to Build Your Network Marketing Business Using Cold Market Messaging... Does it even work? Is it even the right strategy for you?

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0400

How to build your network marketing business using Cold Market messaging

Does it work and Is it even the right strategy for you?

Those questions and more will be answered in today’s episode.

Are you ready?

Let’s dive in!

So, I’ve done cold calls, cold emails, cold messages on social media, shoot, back in the day, I even put fliers on cars in parking lots. You name it, I’ve done it. LOL

Some of the things worked and some, my friend, absolutely did not work for me. LOL

I recently listened to a training that 2 top leaders, from 2 different companies, selling completely different products did. They talked about how they got to the top of their respective companies and become the top recruiters all by using cold market messaging.

It got me thinking that this is something I should teach you guys, in case you’d like to go this route, you’ll know what to do and how to do it correctly and not spin your wheels. I want to make sure you have success if you choose to implement this tactic.

When building your business, especially building with cold market you have to remain more addicted to your activity than the response you get from the people you are prospecting.

Now, there are many people who say they’ve tried cold market messaging and it doesn’t work.

It does work. It didn’t work for them because of 1 or more of the following reasons reasons:

They weren’t sending the right message
They didn’t send enough messages
They didn’t do it for a long enough period of time
Or they weren’t consistent with it

If you build with cold market by sending out up to 50-100 messages per day.

After 1 year, your business will rival most within your company.

Cold market is a numbers game. SINALOA - Safety In Numbers And Laws Of Averages, so it’s super important you remain more addicted to your activity than the response you get, because you will get a lot of “no’s”, and a lot of ghosting. That’s totally fine and normal. Be addicted to your activity.

Even if Cold market doesn’t appeal to you, still tune in to hear how to do it, because there will be people on your team who will be interested.

Cold market is not the be all end all, it’s simply an option.

There are usually 2 types of people who are drawn to or get excited about building with the cold market.

The 1st type of person is the type that doesn’t want to do a bunch of videos, posting, they’re maybe a little introverted and not ready to get out of their comfort zone yet, they’d rather just get to the point and send messages.

The second type of person doesn’t have influence. Maybe their circle is super small, super negative, not supportive, or maybe they’ve tried network marketing and have gone on the MLM merry go round and jumped around and approached their friends and neighbors with ALL of them and now no one will take their calls, return their text messages and they avoid them at the family functions, you know what I mean. LOL

Cold market people don’t know their history, it’s a clean slate, which makes this a very appealing option to some.

Side note, all the people who wouldn’t answer your phone call, or want to associate with you, as soon as you start having success, you’ll be surprised how quickly the texts get replied and the calls get answered. LOL

Anyway, I see some big leaders in the industry, influencers, bash cold messaging. Why would they do that?

Well Usually it’s because they have influence already. They have a good social media following and/or they have a great warm market. They reach out to people in their circle and they are met with positivity and people who are excited to jump into what ever it is they’re doing, and buy what ever it is they’re selling, so they've never needed to cold message and because they didn’t need to do it, they are out of touch and don’t realize that other people, probably people even on their team, don’t have the built in influence or clout and they don’t want to do all the videos to build their influence either. Their circle is super negative and even runs away from them when they see them coming.

This type of leader who bashes cold messaging or cold marketing, they are just out of touch because they’ve never had to do it and so they can’t see why anyone else would want to.

Now I’m not saying this is the only way to build your business, or even the best way like I said, but it does give a very valid option for those who need it, that’s why I wanted to do an episode all about this today.

There are different types of cold marketing, but the most popular and the one that everyone always wants to learn is Cold messaging through social media.

That’s what we’ll talk about here today.

There are some rules though when you’re cold messaging on social media. Never, ever

beg,

chase,

convince,

bug or

annoy, that actually goes for any prospecting you’re doing. Lol

By the way, these scripts are not designed to recruit other network marketers. I don’t believe you should market to them. You wouldn’t appreciate someone marketing to people on your team.

I believe it 2 things

Do what you say you’re going to do
Treat others how you want to be treated

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Treat others how you want to be treated. Now, if a network marketer reaches out to you to see what you’re up to, then all bets are off at that point.

Now, if you reach out to someone and they turn out to be a network marketer, you can just say to them “I didn’t realize you were already in the industry. That is so awesome! Congratulations” That, by the way, makes you even more appealing to them, so if ever they are not happy where they are, they will remember you and who knows what could happen in the future, but don’t actively pursue other Network Marketers.

The scripts I’m about to give you won’t work on them anyway. These scripts are for the other billions of people who are outside of the network marketing industry.

This brings up a point. Before you send them the message I’m going to give you, check out the persons profile page first. Do a little research. This will only take you a few seconds per person, but it will save you a lot of grief. Other networkers usually don’t take very kindly to people reaching out to them, especially when they receive a scripted message from someone they don’t know. Lol

Okay, so when you reach out to someone through direct messaging, there are 3 things that go through their mind.

“Do I know you?”

“What do you want?”

Why me?”

It’s the “why me” that most people don’t address when they cold message people.

If any of these questions are left unanswered in your initial message to them, your conversation will not move forward. It’s a real thing. You have to address all 3 in the first reach out.

No, this doesn’t mean you have to build a rapport with them. For this type of marketing, you do not need, nor should you build rapport, at least initially.

It would be weird if you sent a first message to someone who you don’t know and they don’t know you and you say something like, “I see you just went on vacation, how fun!”

They will think you are stalking them!

Don’t do that. That’s weird and creepy. LOL

You build rapport if they reach out to you. As an example, when I get a new friend request, I check out their profile first.

By the way, pro-tip, If they don’t have their picture as the profile picture or they haven’t posted for a long time, I don’t accept their friend request. Also, I’ll look at their posts, if they post about negative stuff or things that don’t align with me, I won’t accept their friend request. You have to manage your energy and we are so fortunate to be in this industry where we have the luxury of choosing who we work with and who we associate with.

Anyway, if I check their FB profile and I like what I see, I’ll accept their friend request and then instantly message them. At that point I will comment on their latest post.

As an example, I just accepted a post from a lady who is very active on social media and she has just had twins. I don’t know her. I checked out her page and saw she had to amazing twins. So I reached out to her thanking her for the friend request and told her how adorable her twins where and how my bundles of joy are now 21 and 23 yrs old.

Side note here - we are in the relationship business. When someone reaches out to you, via friend request, comment or even a like on a post, that opens the door for you to reach out to them to open the door a little further. That’s all.

This makes being purposeful with your posts, stories, and how you’re showing up on social media even more important. They will be stalking you. LOL Give them something worth while. Something where, if they are your ideal customer, they’ll think, “wow, I need to connect with her” or “wow, I want that” or “wow, I’d love to work with her.”

To learn more about identifying your ideal customer, check out episode 4 “know your ideal customer better than they know themselves”. I’ll put the link in the show notes and in the blog that goes with this episode.

You can comment on one of their recent posts by the way. Don’t comment on posts that are back weeks, months or years, that is also creepy. LOL

So, you can comment on 1 or 2 of their recent posts, but don’t go out of your way to build a rapport through messenger. Just get to the point.

If you don’t just get to the point, they’ll wonder why you’re reaching out to them. What do you want? It’s just not natural. If you’re at a dinner party and you meet someone you didn’t know, that’s when you build rapport, messaging is not the place my friend. It comes across as very weird and creepy if you’re cold messaging.

People, by the way, whether it’s in business or dating, they’d rather you just get to the point. Life is short, don’t waste it dancing around the tulips with them, get to the point, for the sake of both of you.

So the sooner you answer the 3 questions everyone thinks when someone who they don’t know reaches out them, “do I know you? What do you want? Why me? The better. You either get their attention and put them in your process sooner, or they say no sooner. Sooner is always better than later.

Remember, you have to answer all 3 question in that first reach out. If I left one of the questions out, look what happens:

“Hey, I know we don’t know each other, but I represent a business that is solely focused on anti aging. Is this something you’d be open to chatting with me about?”

Their first thought, guaranteed, “wow she thinks I look old”, or “why did she reach out to me?”. I promise you. It leaves a hole in your approach for them to go to.

I didn’t tell answer “why them”.

Again, this is only for cold market, meaning, you don’t know them and they don’t know you, a stranger.

The why them by the way, is going to be either location or their occupation. There maybe other “why thems”, but those are the 2 I’ve always used.

Here’s the message you’d send for location:

"Hey, I know we don't know each other. I see that you live in Los Angeles, California." That's the why them. "I see you live in Los Angeles, California. I'm actively expanding my business in the LA area. We show people how to make extra money on social media without interfering with what they're currently doing. Is that's something you'd be open to taking a look at? If not, no big deal.” Or you can say not a problem at all.

Always end by giving them an out.

This simple message answers all 3 of the questions everyone thinks when they receive a message from someone they don’t even know, plus gives them an exit.

So the basic outline is:

”Hey, I know we don't know each other. Here's why I'm messaging you. Here's why you specifically. Oh, by the way, if you're not open to it, no big deal. It's okay."

No one will be offended by that. You may not get a reply and that’s okay, that’s all part of cold marketing. You have to have thicker skin sometimes when you decide to use cold marketing as a method to grow your business. By the way, who’s going to be offended or mad by you asking if they are open? What are they going to say, “no I’m not open” That’s a weird statement.

They don’t know you, so they don’t know to be nice to you or to respect you.

I’ve never taught anything I haven’t done, or do myself. So, a few years ago, I was intrigued by cold marketing and then the main thing was cold calling. Oh my gosh! I have never been yelled at and hung up on more in my life than in the first 10 min of me doing that. LOL

I was a multi million dollar producer and had helped thousands of people do the same, but they didn’t know that. I was just some person, they didn’t know, calling them and interrupting their soap opera. LOL

I made mention of this, but the words “are you open” versus “are you interested” are very different.

We are hard wired to say “no” if someone asks if we are interested, but we aren’t if someone asked if we are open. Think about it. It’s so true. What are we going to say, “no, I’m not open”, so we’re closed? It goes against our nature.

Okay, so that was the script for location. Let’s go through the one for occupation. First you need to look at their profile page and see what their occupation is.

Whatever it is, chances are, unless you’re with a brand spanking new start up company, there are people, within your company, that have that same occupation and are having success.

Let’s say they are a realtor, your message to them would be;

"Hey, I know we don't know each other. I see that you're a realtor. We happen to work with a lot of realtors to show them how to make extra money on social media without interfering with what they're currently doing. Is that something you'd be open to taking a look at? If not, no big deal."

Again, saying “Is that something you'd be open to taking a look at? If not, no big deal.” No one will be offended by that. No one is going to say, "How dare you say it's okay if I'm not open?”

These scripts are super simple. If you use them verbatim, implore SINALOA - Safety In Number And Law Of Averages - and stay consistent, everyday, 1 year from now, you will have a thriving business that will rival most others in your company.

Remember, be more addicted to your activity than the response you get.

By the way if you're looking to build your network marketing business or you've been trying and maybe it's not going quite as as well as you want it to go hop over to spspcommunity.com.

All right my friend until next week, take care of yourself.

How to become unstoppable and unwavering in every area of your life, not just in your Network Marketing business. Episode #012

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 04:00:00 -0400

There are moments in life when everything seems to be going against you. Your bank account is running low, your car won't start this morning, you have a million things to do and not enough time to do them - the list goes on. During these tough times it can be easy to feel down, overwhelmed and lose hope.

But what if I told you there was a way to become unstoppable during these difficult times? What if I told you that there was a secret to becoming unwavering, not only in your Network Marketing business, but in life? The good news is, there is! And I'm going to share it with you.

Key Highlights:

[03:58] It's not just identifying your why? No no, no, no, no, my friend. No. It is not the why is great but this is way deeper than that...

Can you be addicted to failure and not even know it?

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Can you be addicted to failure and not even know it?

Well my friend I am here to say "yes"! You absolutely can and I know this because I was.

I've been super fortunate and I've been able to have tremendous amount of success in different areas of my life, but there was always a ceiling. It was as though my success could only go so far and I never quite understood why that was. I kept bringing myself back to a level that I was comfortable with. Tony Robbins talks about this. He talks about the the sixty eight degreer. Any colder than that you're not comfortable any warmer than that, you're not comfortable.

I didn't know I was doing this until I went through this training we are about to through.

The 10 signs that will show you if you are in fact, addicted to failure. If this is you like it was me, great news, you can completely fix it, change it and then the sky will become the limit. You won't have a ceiling in any area of your life any more!

Key Highlights:

[2:32] There are 2 types of people that I want to talk to you about

[4:35] #1 people who are addicted to failure are usually addicted to the approval of others right?

[7:30] #2 entertaining yourself versus educating yourself

[10:32] #3 blaming other people and things for your circumstances

[12:05] #4 people who are addicted to failure are afraid of making mistakes

[15:02] #5 we stay in relationships that are not working

[18:09] #6 people who are addicted to failure are also addicted to drama

[19:26] #7 you're spending your time with people who are going nowhere

[23:52] #8 you are careless with money

[27:57] #9 you have dreams, but no set goals

[35:28] #10 you think other successful people got there by luck

Notable Quotes:

"You are an average of the 5 people you spend the most time with"
"There's no CV in TV"
"For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better."
"Make a measurable amount of strategic progress."
"You have to set momentum building goals in order reach your big goal/dream"

Secrets of Video Marketing that will help drive sales!

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Insider Secrets on How to Use Video Marketing Effectively and Efficiently | Interview with Ed Garza

It’s well known that content marketing is an effective way to build your brand and reach your target audience. One form of content marketing that is growing in significance is video marketing. When done well, video can be a powerful way for a brand to spread its message in a way that is easily accessible to a large audience. The great thing about video content marketing is that it is becoming easier and easier to do effectively. The number of options marketers have means there is something for every business, even those without traditional video recording or editing skills.

In today’s episode, Ed Garza, a founder Investor with VodCast HUB, will talk to us about the importance of video marketing and branding. Ed will also outline his journey from a sportsman to a branding expert, give us the secret sauce of being a successful branding expert, and give tons of advice for all business owners. Please stay tuned.

Key Highlights:

[00:02:09] Introduction to Ed and his journey to being a branding expert

[00:05:44] From playing sports to becoming a branding expert

[00:12:26] How a busy parent or single parent can fitting into video marketing

[00:16:30] Importance of them building own brand

[00:21:47] Where to post the videos

[00:23:16] Tricks to gain more engagement on posted videos

[00:26:45] Seven secrets of video marketing that help people drive sales

[00:34:47] Advice for home-based business owners

[00:37:31] Importance of emotional scale

[00:41:04] Ed’s parting shot

Notable Quotes:

If I stopped teaching, sharing, and educating, I think part of me would die inside. It's a graphical way to put it, but that keeps me motivated.

If you're building your brand, don't think that your story is not worthy; it is worthy. It is worthy to be told, and if you don't tell it, then nobody will know it. Empathy goes a long way; you don't need to worry about how you sound or look.

If you get better prepared, all of that's great, but keep your same heart and your openness in terms of who you're talking to and how you're talking to them.

You can really do well if you develop a good ecosystem and a support system for people because that's what people are looking for. They're looking for a community they can join to interact and get social support and encouragement.

Addressing the pain points is what we discussed, what's important to have in your video right up front, and then you need to provide a good solution. You need to relieve the guilt from them.

Regarding the emotional scale, you get to choose what emotion you want to inflict on your listener, whether it's happy, laughing, sad, or scared. It doesn't matter; you got to evoke some emotions.

Do Affirmations Really Work? What 4 Questions You Should Asking Yourself & Visualizing? What is the 5F Method That Works 100% of the Time?

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Check out the entire episode and more at https://SPSPCommunity.com/podcast

Do Affirmations Work? Here's The 5-Step Process That Works 100 Percent of the Time.

The idea behind affirmations is to get you to believe in yourself and your abilities. By believing in yourself, you can achieve anything. Affirmations are positive statements that you say to yourself to reinforce a belief or goal, but do Affirmations REALLY Work? Tune into this episode to get the great and the not so great news about the world of affirmations. Learn the 4 questions and the 5 F Method that I learned from my one of my 1 on 1 coaching sessions with Ray Higdon that you can do every single night that works 100% of the time, and it will help you achieve the life you truly desire. Tune in!

Key Highlights

[01:33] Introducing today’s topic

[02:08] Why affirmations don’t always work

[04:32] How I learned the 5-step affirmation process

[06:33] #1: Visualize yourself being there and doing it

[11:33] The 5-F Method

[19:02] What you should avoid doing before going to bed

[19:53] What to do when you’re facing difficulties following through with the process

Notable Quotes

I even had pictures that went along with my affirmations. And while I did see some progress, the thing with affirmations is it doesn't tap into your subconscious mind.
Our subconscious mind only acknowledges emotion, not language. That's why affirmations don't work.
If you want to pour speed on wherever you want to be, you can do it by visualizing yourself there.
The most important part of all of this is don't pay attention to negativity.
Feed your brain the right nutrients just like we do for our bodies.
You're creating memories of your future. You need to see it, feel it, smell it, be it be in it. And remember, it has happened.

In today’s episode, we have our first guest of the show, a friend, successful entrepreneur, motivator, author, and mother of three, Lisa Griggs. I wanted to have Lisa as our first guest because her story is extremely unique. She is a hardworking single mother who has been able to pull herself up and remain composed at every challenge thrown at her, including being homeless for three years with her children.

Lisa shares some great insights on overcoming adversity and how you can use it as an advantage instead of seeing it as a disadvantage. She also shares some great tips on making your luck by taking action even if you don't have everything figured out yet!

Being a single mom and being on welfare was extremely disappointing as a parent, and I never thought I would be in that position at 40 years old.

Friends can be great therapists.
Your support system and who you're around can lead very strongly to that can lead to your breakthroughs.

When you get deliberate and focused, then it elevates your mood naturally.
We don't know where people are at. We don't know what they've got going on. So when someone's in front of us, we can't prejudge the.

Don't Be A Lone Ranger if You Are Looking to Have Massive Success #5

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 04:00:00 -0400

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” In other words, if you see someone who is having the success and lifestyle you are wanting, copy what they are doing. Emulate them!

So how do you find these successful teams? And how do you work with them for your own success?

In this episode, I'll be going through the absolute best way for you to not only have reliable success and growth with your business but how finding and emulating the most successful team support will help you avoid getting burnt out and getting overwhelmed.

Success leaves clues. So follow the people who are having the type of success that you want. And you will ultimately also have that same type of success.
By utilizing and plugging into what's already working, what's already proven to work, you will speed up your success by an immeasurable amount of time not to mention you'll save yourself a ton of tears, frustration, sleepless nights, and money.
Because you're using the same tools in the same system, they (the support team) can fix and refine you a lot easier to help kind of hone your skill set so that you can catch that momentum and start your growth pattern with your business.
Introducing your prospect to your support team subconsciously, plants the seed with your prospect of how simple this business is.

Samantha Gamble — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Congratulations! You’ve officially opened your own network marketing business. Now what?

This is a question that many people have after they’ve made the decision to join w Network Marketing company. It’s important to understand that opening your own network marketing business is more than just getting started and making money. It’s also about building relationships. As well as learning what and how to build your business and setting up the right expectations moving forward.

Notable Quotes:

If you opened up a restaurant in your neighborhood, who would you tell? Would you keep it a secret from your friends and family and your neighbors? Would you only tell strangers? You know, would you only post on social media about your new restaurant? Of course not.
The network marketing business isn't any different. You love the products or service. You know how much they will help the people you love and care about. So it's all about your mindset. You're doing them a favor. You're helping them coming from a position of service.
If you know of anyone suffering from anything that is subtracting happiness from their life, and you have the solution, who are you to keep it a secret?
Exposing and following up is our entire job description.
Courage is having the fear and doing it anyway. That's what we have to do. That is the magic of network marketing.
The bottom line is this you are not a secret agent. You have the solution for so many people. Don't deprive them of it.
Keep this in mind, not everyone is going to see what you see or feel what you feel. Not everyone will buy it from you, not everyone will join your team, and not everyone will be positive. And it’s okay and normal!
And you will have people who buy from you, and their lives will be so positively impacted.
Some of your closest friends and family members may say no to you as well. The key is not to take it personally. They're not saying no to you. They're just not seeing it quite yet.

Notable Quotes

Just because our friend or family member joined that particular company or opportunity doesn't really make it the right one for us necessarily.
Selecting the right opportunity for you is a very important decision. And it could very well change the entire trajectory of the future of you and your family.
A baseline investigation will basically tell you if the company is a good solid reliable company versus a “here today gone tomorrow type” company.
Building a network marketing career is simple, but it is not easy, my friend, it takes effort. It takes hard work. And therefore, you really want to make sure that you are investing your time and effort with the right company.
Obviously, we can't and nor should we believe everything we read online, absolutely not. But if you're seeing more bad comments or bad reviews than good, that's probably a huge red flag.
To get this information about the financials, are they well funded? Are they in debt, you can always ask the person who's presenting the company to you. But if they don't have them, ask their support team.
Being with a network marketing company whose sales are growing is usually way easier and a heck of a lot more fun than being with a company whose said sales are flat.
To have that long-term success, you must have consumers who are consistently purchasing your products and services.
For me, the money part was more of a motivator. But I can promise you as your team builds, recognition will be something that people on your team will strive for and they will go the extra mile to achieve.
You can love the products. But do they really offer a solution for the masses? Are they easy to talk about? Are they easy to share? And if your answer is an absolute Yes, then this will make your job a lot easier.
As with all aspects of building any business whether it's a network marketing business or not, consistency is always the key.
The only way you will not have success in network marketing or quite frankly any other area in your life is if you don't put in the effort, or you quit.
Persistence beats resistance.
