"I'm Ready For The Big Time Money Now," Mimi Said By Kim Klaver At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

In the previous post, you found out about Mimi - the gal who almost didn't sign up nine years ago because she didn't want to make money off the people, she just wanted to help them, she said.

Here's part II of her story.

After nine years of being at the second highest position in her company, and with thousands of customers she's helped now, she announced in class, "After all this time, I am NOW ready for some BIG money. Where are the big money people? How can I find them?"

If you were her upline, what kinds of people would you suggest she go after, so that she can achieve her current goal of making really BIG money?

Use the info from the previous post, Money aside, why else do you want to do this? as a guide. Post your thoughts in the comments below.

Tell it or sell it?

Facts tell, stories sell. So say the experts.

Probably no one reading this needs an expert to tell them that, but it's a very natural tendency to get on that soapbox when you're talking about your product - to use the old bombastic boasts ("We are positioned to become the preeminent provider of XYZ"), or to use technobabble that's uninviting, distant and arrogant to regular folks.

Since networkers, unlike other marketers, actually use the products they market (safe assumption, I hope), we have an edge: We can tell an authentic, personal story about it to someone else.

Challenge: How can you tell your story without falling into the sales-pitch soup and the over gushy-stuff that sounds so fake, even if true?

Remember, people out there are suspicious of marketers. One of the best selling business books today is entitled, All Marketers are Liars.

The Do Not Call Registry has 120 million Americans signed up. Are you one? Don't sell me either, please.

That's also why blogs are so much more fun to read than the corporate sites: "bloggers write because they have something to say, and companies write copy because they want to make money."

Who isn't sick of all their happy talk?

So if you sound like them, won't you be too, be perceived as just another happy talk moneymonger?

Your first 10 seconds of talk or copy tells the other person whether you have a story to tell, or just a product to sell.

Reader challenge: How would you tell your product or business story, versus what most people unwittingly do now, which is sell their story?

Go ahead, have at it.

I dare you to tell, not sell, your story.
