ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR THE WIZARD?

I’m the character you didn’t see in” The Wizard of Oz”, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Mention:https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/wizard-oz.html

You, Me, And Dorothy have a lot in common. We all know what it’s like to find ourselves in a distant land surrounded by strange people.

Though our chosen paths aren’t paved with yellow bricks, we still hope it will lead us to success.

The Guru’s want more than our ruby slippers.

Dorothy is not the first person to find themselves surrounded by brainless, heartless, and spineless people. CAN YOU RELATE?

The plot: We are looking for the easiest way to succeed, in the least amount of time, spending the very least amount of money, doing as little as possible hoping the riches will flow in magically.

When you look at the end of The Wizard of Oz, we find they had everything they needed already inside them. Now, look into the MIRROR. The power you need is really a power you already have. Look deep enough, long enough, and there’s nothing you can’t do.

“Try a little harder” is little encouragement for someone who has spent countless months trying to succeed. At some point we need more than good advice, WE NEED HELP.

ARE YOU SELLING YOURSELF?

Now that’s a loaded question. Hello Everyone. Michael The Traveling Trucker with today’s view on SELF.

What sets you apart from the millions of online marketers?

Sales is a four-letter word—that’s what you’re thinking, right? There is scarcely a culture in the world that doesn’t regard the idea of selling as a little icky. But in truth, we are all practicing that four-letter word—in every area of our lives.

In very small businesses, the owner and business are one and the same. When you’re marketing your business, you’re really marketing yourself – but that isn’t easy for everyone.

A Writing On The Wall

Here’s advice for getting better at selling yourself and your business.

Start with WHO not WHY. Your why is not necessarily my why. Start the conversation where they are, with what they believe or wish to achieve.

Selling is a listening skill. People will actually tell you how to influence them—by telling you who they are and what they want the world to know them as.

Be Yourself because it is who you are. You can’t be me and vise versa. There are wonderful things about you so utilize them.

Be Persistent. Your job is to be persistent—even kind of annoying. Keep sending them e-mails, keep sending the texts, keep calling them. Let them know when something changes that is valuable to them.

Just keep in contact with them. Even if they’re not ready to buy now, they’ll think of you later.

Offer a Solution.

Your customers are plenty smart enough to identify the problems. What they need is for somebody to dig into the details and offer a solution. Not something that MIGHT work; something that WILL work. Offer more of a solution than your competition. 

 Stop with the Resume Speak. I’m a go-getter. problem solver, attention to detail kind of person. Your customer wants specifics. Who have you worked with that had problems like theirs and how did you solve them?

 Be Positive. Find ways to find the positive. Smile a lot, be thankful for what you have, talk about things you enjoy, tell your customer that everything is going to be alright. Positivity equals confidence. 

This is my FAVORITE. Be easy to agree with. Our capacity to sell—or engage, influence or persuade—defines our success in our business lives, our personal relationships and even our own self-awareness and effectiveness. 

You don’t have to argue, make a stand in concrete or drive the point home in a unprofessional way. Stay clam and easy to agree with.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS?

Hello and Welcome. I’m excited you decided to join me, Michael The Traveling Trucker, and our brief journey together.

So READER, HOW WAS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION? Was the experience joyful, exciting, full of mystery? Did your needs get met? Was the phone call professional? Was the text personal that made you want to know more?

My job is to make you feel welcome. I’m what is known as the First Impression Maker. What I do at the beginning is vital for the growth of the prospect or lead. I can also push people away if done incorrectly.

Maker or Breaker. Yep, that’s the whole thing in a nutshell. We have a team set in place that SHOULD offer a welcome and glad your here pat on the back.

Before every football game, the Coach gathers everyone together to focus on the task at hand and pump everyone up.

Huddling is a form of training, not just the Dos and Don’ts, but the kind that equips and empowers everyone to accomplish the will and work at hand. Building strong business teams.

The MAIN reason we huddle is we don’t know everything on our own. WEEKLY WEBINARS, ONE ON ONE CALLS with our sponsor, coaches, and mentors.

Bouncing ideas off each other. Offering solutions to problems. How do you greet your prospect on your first contact? What do you say or do?

Our FOCUS is PEOPLE. People need love, guidance, and a helping hand.

Strategy: Be genuine in your first connection. People know when others are fake, so be yourself, nerves and all. Be confident, stay focused. People need to know that you have their best interest in mind. You are really here for them.

Remember your smile and friendly greeting can make a difference in someone’s day.

MAIN GOAL: We want to be the most hospitable place on earth! We want people to know their questions will be answered. People offering a helping hand.

I personally have experienced this from our group from the leaders down to someone just getting started. This business has helped me to grow and have great success.

We can never forget we are human beings, we need a personal touch or greeting. We need people to look us in the eye and really see us. We want you to know deep in your spirit that this is a place of safety and a home for years to come.

Don’t overwhelm people with information overload at the beginning. Work your way into it slowly. Don’t be in a hurry, slow down. People are not sure who you are or why you are contacting them.

Introduce yourself so the lead knows you’re a friendly professional following up on their request for more information.

Identify your company to lend more legitimacy to the call, so the lead associates you with a credible professional brand.

Explain the reason for your call to remind leads what prompted them to fill out the form.

Set a timeline to reassure leads that you won’t take up more than a few minutes of their time, and then schedule a time as soon as they’re available to meet with you and discuss their options.

Let them understand you are busy with others and have a small window to help. Time is of the essence. The more time that goes by, people forget who you are and why you are contacting them again.

The better you understand and execute each of these four points, the more appointments you’ll set.

ARE YOU TELLING YOUR STORY?

Hello Everyone. Your CB talking, Gear Jammin, Pedal To The Metal trucker is back and lighting the fire. Yes Michael The Traveling Trucker is alive and well.

The last 8 days have been packed with pickups and deliveries. No time for sharing life on the COMPUTER.

Finally got back home Saturday so I can share life with my beautiful bride and, Yes -YOU DEAR READER.

What is it about telling a GOOD story that people love? What is your favorite story?

Here is a little of my life. My driving career started in 1994 and it was by pure accident. A drummer from my church bought a truck. He was gone for a few weeks. When he got back I asked where he was and he told me about buying a truck.

I made the statement,” I always thought about driving a semi-truck”. He got this glowing look on his face and a twinkle in his eye.” Really”, he replied. I need a Christian person who will take care of my truck. I did a road test the next day. I drove from Georgia to California for 3 months on a learner’s permit and a lead driver.

I got back and got my CDL license. That has been 27 years of driving with over 3 Million miles under my belt. Been around the world a few times. Seen a lot of beautiful country. I have been to all 48 states (continental) plus Canada.

My story takes a turn into mu business practices as I’m building an online business. I invite people all over the country to join me. My best invite was a man I met in Florida. His name was Sumeet Mall from Canada.

I built a strong relationship with him before I shared this business. Once I shared, he and his wife tonya decided to join.

I shared countless hours on the phone talking about family, friends, and life. Because he is 20 years younger, I got to share experience , strength, and hope.

I believe he will be a strong leader. He loves what he does and is willing to learn more.

If you are reading this, how can I help you tell your story? What makes you a one of a kind? What is your passion, love, and burning desire to see come to life?

Life is a series of stories strung together over a period of time that makes up your life. Some funny, some sad, some enjoyable, some will make you cry.

I have countless stories of family, friends, travel, meeting new friends, seeing sites most of the world never sees.

HOW TO CONNECT?

Mention: https://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/success.html

Hello Everyone, It’s your lost trucker, Michael The Traveling Trucker.

I was asked How Do I Connect with my TL2Ivm members?

When you are on Traffic Leads 2 Income viral mailer main page you have referrals. This will show you all your members. You can sort them by Join Date, Last Login, Name, Membership Level, Pages Surfed, and Total Purchased.

Some of your members leave a complete profile with all their Social Media Contacts, while others leave you nothing.

Personally, I have not located many of the people in my group. When they don’t leave you contact info and profile picture, You really have nothing to work with.

I’m not sure I have done a coop with TL2Ivm as my main advertising site. I have looked through my Contacts at The Conversion Pros.

No phone numbers, no emails. Rob Gehring The owner and admin of TL2Ivm made this statement: We give more contact info than most competitors out there. Agree?

In our one on one sessions, he has had access to peoples name, phone number and emails, I don’t have. He has shared some of them with me as a gift for booking a coaching call.

I would be interested in anyone who has a different approach to this.

Straight from Rob’s ” Simple art of recruiting”.

It is important to understand the importance of having a “real” conversation with a prospect. This also saves you time in qualifying your list and only talking to people who are serious and ready.

Be sure they indicate at least 50.00 available to get started now; otherwise I advise against you calling unless you want the practice.

When I capture a lead, I generally ask for their phone number along with first name and email address. Then, I send the following text which is called “The Magic Text”. Hey {Prospect Name}, Rob here, your {Company Name} sponsor. Go to {Your Facebook Profile} and send me a friend request so I can have you schedule with me and we can get you earning ASAP, ok?

This is a good qualifier as I may be able to connect with them on Facebook to have them set an appointment with me. If they are unresponsive, then we move to a phone call where we can interview them directly.

I hope is was helpful.

ARE YOU DUPLICATABLE?

Greats days ahead, PEEPS. Michael The Traveling Trucker with the thought-provoking question. ARE YOU DUPLICATABLE?

I am asking myself these very questions. I am beginning to like what I see. I pray you honestly look at your business and like what you see. If not, CHANGE what you are doing. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Look at your business right now. Since you joined under your sponsor, does your business system model match theirs? GOOD or BAD.

I have parts that resemble my sponsor’s business, but sorely lacking in others. I am in the process of forming habits that mirror my sponsor.

Am I promoting every day? Am I setting up solo ads on a regular basis? Am I Calling, texting, emailing my leads and prospects? Am I sending out a broadband message to my group under me?

Am I building my list with coop and solo ads? Am I teaching what I have learned?

Am I changing up my lead capture page? Thinking of different email messages?

Am I building my relationships with my people? Am I helping solve their pain problem?

When I look at my sponsor, Rob Gehring, he is active every single day from early to late. He is coaching, mentoring, building his list, contacting all his leads and prospects. He has his calendar filled. He does weekly webinars.

He is not only engaging his prospects but engaging core members as well. He makes recommendations and offers solutions.

What Are The Sounds Of Success?

Great day, Reader. It’s Michael The Traveling Trucker.

BIG QUESTION? What does success sound like? You see dear reader, it has a different sound for each of US.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/leadership/

Success, Strategy, Business, Solution

My sound is leading someone to Christ and having them give their life to Him. I can hear heaven singing over one lost soul.

Do you hear the sound of encouragement, the laughter of being a close friend to someone nobody else wants or even knows exists?

Is your sound the timer going off to a finished meal? The sizzling sounds in the pan, the oven humming, the kettle whistling for you to get your favorite cup for tea?

Is your sound landscaping? Engine roaring, weedeater spinning, shears clicking to a rhythm of the last song you heard? My wife, she is talking to me as I write says it’s birds singing, squirrels squeaking as they chase each other around the tree. Bees flying and hummingbirds feeding.

There are beautiful sounds all around if one but listens. I love the sound of my wife saying she deeply loves me. My girls saying, love your daddy( oldest daughter) youngest saying with an English accent( I love you father). so what are your SOUNDS?

Identity, Self, Authentic

Business has a distinct sound. Sharing one’s own knowledge and experience with somebody who lacks them will empower the latter. There are many people desperately looking for advice, suggestions, and opinions when they face difficult business situations

What is the sound of Casual English vs. Business Language? What you write on Facebook, Twitter, and friendly emails are different from business language.

How to SOUND PROFESSIONAL: Provide or (Give)

Casual: Could you give me your cell number?

Professional: Could you provide me with your cell number?

2) Receive or (Get)

Casual: Did you get the message I sent you yesterday?

Professional: Did you receive the message yesterday?

3) Attend or (Come)

Casual: I’m sorry but I can’t come to your brother’s wedding.

Professional: I’m sorry but I can’t attend your brother’s wedding.

4) Assist or (Help)

Casual: I need you to help John with his homework.

Professional: I need you to assist the customer with his laptop.

Each of these can and will make a big sound in your business. For some of us, the sounds may not seem very important but they are. Please take time to do your own research. Do what fits your sound style.

 Make ‘We’re in This Together’ Your Theme Song. All your people need your leadership to show what the proper sounds are, words to use, and pictures to show. Guidance is your responsibility and should be practiced every day.

So, how do you train a horse to jump? You start by putting the jumping bar on the ground. Have the horse walk over it over and over. It’s called TRAINING.

You raise the bar one foot off the ground. Get the horse to jump over it again and again. It’s called TRAINING.

You continue to raise the bar, higher and higher. It’s called TRAINING. Before you know it the horse is responding magnificently.

Most of the people online in our niche of affiliate marketing from CLB, TL2Ivm , and GLN know and trust Janet Legere. Her TRAINING is just like training a horse.

She gets us to jump over the bar– Building your list, lead capture page, thank you page, advertising. As time goes on, she raises the bar. Buying your first Adimi solo ad. Writing your blog. Talking on the phone. It’s called, WHAT? YES, TRAINING.

Showing up daily is as important as showing up for your job. You show up and do the work. You get paid for the work you do through the time you put in.

How To Make Phone Calls

What a topic this is going to be. Hello Everyone Michael The Traveling Trucker.

Mention: https://pixabay.com/images/search/people%20talking/

11 cold calling tips to get prospects to stay on the line

Oh, the phone and the call. You know you must make it. What is going on in the mind of the person who picks it up when you begin to speak?

If you can get a prospect to answer the call, you’d better be sure that they don’t hang up or rush to get off of the line.

The challenge is keeping someone on the line. I have had people hang up on me after I introduce myself or ask why are you calling? What are you selling?

Stop right here a moment. Please remember, they gave you permission to call them when they filled out the form.

People are looking to make money so they have filled out dozens of forms. It’s not personal. Slow down and ask a few questions. They get dozens of sales calls.

Woman, Grown Up, Within, People, Window

Read this sentence SLOWLY. After you’ve introduced yourself, you should begin personalizing the call immediately. Call them by name. Ask if they have a few minutes right now to talk?

Call at the right time for your prospects. The research shows that most calls that last over 5 minutes occur between 3:00-5:00 pm on Tuesdays or Thursdays.

Perfect timing is important, and it doesn’t have to be hard. It’s about calling them when their interest is piqued.

Tracking leads and opportunities is important because you’ll know exactly which stage each prospect is at in your sales funnel.

Make a good impression. Read this and see the difference between asking or telling. It’s more effective to ask if you’re “talking with” the right person rather than asking if you’re “speaking to” the right person.

Tell a story (and ask questions)

If someone tells you they’re busy when you call them, consider that a red flag.

If they were really in a meeting, would they have answered a call from an unknown number? Probably not.

That’s why you have to prove your worth quickly, even if they claim to be busy. You only have about 10 seconds to show a prospect that you’re worth their time. A great way to do that is with personal stories that build rapport.

I was really busy as you are when I got the call. I didn’t think I needed what they were selling, even though I was looking to make some additional income online.

They asked me how much was I looking to earn? This is where I tell the caller, I’m a full-time trucker wanting to come off the road. Draw them in and ask them questions. Ask if they are employed or stay at home.

 Make it all about them. Focus the conversation on your prospect for as long as you can first. People love to talk about themselves.

By giving your prospect the chance to talk, you’ll also be gaining more insider information about them.

You have to know what your prospect wants before anything else. That’s why it’s important to listen and only speak when necessary.

Listening is key to building great relationships. It builds the trust you need to get a prospect to commit to you.

Group, Team, Balloons, Question Mark

Take your time and try not to be nervous. The people on the other end are way more nervous than you.

Follow up when needed and leave a voicemail.

When you follow up, your prospect might not be available. That’s why it’s important to leave an effective but brief voicemail.

Start out by telling them who is calling them, why you’re calling, and then end on a note that will trigger a quick response.
