How To Get People To Buy From You – KLT Method

Charles Lenoir / February 15, 2017

Do you want more people to buy from you?

Well today in this post I am going to share a simple method to get more people to buy from you!

Let’s be honest, if you have a home or small business and you are selling a product that nobody’s buying then you wouldn’t be in business very long.

I don’t want that to happen to you!

What I am about to tell you works online and offline regardless of the business model that you are currently working in – direct sales, network marketing, real estate, insurance or some other brick and mortar business.

So how do you get people to buy from you?

It’s called the Know, Like and Trust (KLT) method.

Get People To Know You

If you want to get people to buy from you they must get to know you.

You see your future customers or business partners need to know where they can find you online or offline.

Do you have a blog or website?
Do you have a profile on the popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or Linkedin?
What are some other ways their communication preferences?

Knowing actually goes both ways….not only do people need to get to know you, but you also need to get to know the people.

So if you want to get people to buy from you then you must also take the time to get to know them!

Who is your target audience?
What are their specific concerns or problems (pain points)?
What are some things you have in common? (books, movies, hobbies etc)

Get People To Like You

How do you get people to like you?

Well imagine this. Let’s say you were approached by two salespeople with the exact same product and the same price.

One person comes across as boring and impersonal. The other is very charming, interesting, and makes you feel good.

Which one would you rather do business with?

The latter, right?

I know that I wouldn’t want to buy anything from a person that I felt I didn’t have a connection to on some kind of level.

So in order to get a person to like you must be able to make a good enough impression that they feel comfortable talking to you or being around you.

Once you establish a connection then overtime you will need to work on building a solid relationship with that people.

Be nice and courteous
Be visible, open and transparent
Be real and authentic
Be generous and give without expecting anything in return

It wasn’t until I adopted a “servant attitude” that things began to turn around for me and my business.

I learned to provide my followers and potential prospects plenty of value.

All you have to do is identify an area you see them struggling in and give them some helpful advice on how to overcome that particular struggle or issue.

The more someone likes you, the more they begin to trust you

Get People To Trust You

The more someone trusts you, the more they will open up and discuss their problems and their needs with you. Once you get to this point then you can realistically make a product or service recommendation for something you’re selling, if in fact, it is a good fit.

When you’re honest enough to turn down a potential sale, you’re actually indirectly building a strong relationship that just might result in a lifelong customer.

How do you get people to trust you?

There are many, many, many ways that you can get people to trust you.

Be honest with them at all times
Be respectful – treat people the way you would want to be treated, remember the golden rule!
Be a good listener – what does your prospect want or need. You won’t know if you do all the talking
Be accessible – when people know that they can get access to you they will be more comfortable with you
Be empathetic – people will trust you more when they feel you understand them.
Connect with people you have things in common with i.e. children, married, pet lovers, etc. It’s much easier to get people to trust with you when they can relate to you because you have something in common
Deliver on your promises – do what you say you are going to do
Add value – value is what people are willing to pay for. Keep doing great work that adds value and others will reward you with trust.

Always remember people do business with people they know, like and trust (KLT).

3 Reasons To Use Facebook Live

Charles Lenoir / September 9, 2016

We all know Facebook is currently the reigning Social Media giant.

FACT: Facebook has over 1.71 billion monthly active users and more monthly active users than WhatsApp (500 million), Twitter (284 million) and Instagram (200 million)—COMBINED. (Source: CNBC)

Earlier this year Facebook introduced a new feature called Facebook Live.

What is Facebook Live?

Facebook Live is a live-streaming video capability. By tapping the live stream icon, a user can start broadcasting video live from their smartphone, and write an optional description for the event.

Understanding Facebook Live is key if you’re an affiliate, internet, network or social media marketer; even if you don’t plan on using it.

Video marketing is become increasingly popular and will be vital to your success going forward as an entrepreneur.

According to Syndacast,

74 percent of all Internet traffic in 2017 will be video. Also studies show that using the word “Video” in the subject line of an email can increase open rates by 19 percent, click-through rates by 65 percent and reduce un-subscribers by 26 percent. According to Twitter, videos and photos get the most retweets.”

Now I know the #1 reason most people avoid video marketing is FEAR.

Not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera especially if they know it is broadcasting to a “LIVE” audience even if its just friends and family.

However you can not afford to procrastinate on this issue any longer if you want to stand out from your competition.

Here are 3 Reasons To Use Facebook Live

1. Attract More Followers.

Facebook Live will notify your followers when you go live with a broadcast. Users have to actually click on the “Subscribe” button in order to opt out of these notifications. If you want to attract more regular “followers” on the platform be consistent. Try broadcasting around the same time. Whether its daily or once a week having a predicable time that you broadcast will help maximize engagement and attract new followers.

2. Gain More Exposure

If you have not been paying attention, organic reach on Facebook is way down (unless you pay to play—Paid Ads). Organic reach for Pages is generally in the single digits [anything close to 10% reach you are doing well].

However, video posts are getting 3x the organic free exposure to fans as any other post. Their algorithm loves Facebook Live video and live videos are positioned relatively high in fans’ newsfeed.

3. Make A Faster Connection

Facebook Live lets you create a stronger, more personal relationship with your audience. What better way to get a potential prospect to KLT (Know, Like & Trust) you than to connect with them through video.

Remember, video is the most powerful way to connect with your audience and evoke emotions online. By delivering value based content to your followers you can present a quality live stream experience that your viewers enjoy and will continue to come back for more.

So if you are looking for more quality prospects to recruit or just want to make more sales its time to pull out that phone and go Facebook Live.

Facebook Live – Are you ready?

MLM Company News

Traffic Monsoon: SEC Files Lawsuit To Shutdown Company

Charles Lenoir / July 28, 2016

If you have not heard by now it’s true, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit Tuesday, June 26th 2016 against the company known as Traffic Monsoon.

U.S. District Judge Jill Parrish granted the restraining order Tuesday evening, freezing the assets of Charles Scoville and Traffic Monsoon, which is sitting on about $60 million in cash in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Traffic Monsoon was started by Charles Scoville in October 2014.

Pictured above Charles Scoville, founder Traffic Monsoon

What is Traffic Monsoon?

According to the company website,

TrafficMonsoon.com is a specialized advertising and revenue sharing company that allows international participation of individuals and groups. Our services provide high quality advertising targeted for people seeking for a way to earn money online along with complete account privacy, top level online security, efficient account management, and a dedicated support team

So basically Traffic Monsoon passes itself off as an online advertising services company.

Traffic Monsoon users purchase “Banner AdPacks” for $50 each and can earn $5 per AdPack in two months — or a return of about 10 percent — if they click on 50 other website ads in any 24-hour period. But clicking on the ads is highly automated and takes about 4 minutes a day, according to the lawsuit.

Scoville is the sole owner of the company and is aware that AdPacks could be considered investments and, therefore, fall under federal law,” the SEC says

Feds say Traffic Monsoon is a $207 million Ponzi scheme

It is estimated to have scammed around 160,000 investors out of $207 million dollars. 90% of Traffic Monsoon’s investors, roughly 145,000, are based outside of the US.

Because all investor returns are funded through new investor contributions, the company operates as a classic Ponzi scheme,” the SEC alleges.

The program appears to be most popular in countries that are also some of the poorest in the world.

For example, the Traffic Monsoon website is the 385th most visited website in Bangladesh, 366th in Venezuela, and 517th most visited site in Morocco.

Nearly 99 percent of Traffic Monsoon’s revenue comes almost exclusively from the sale of AdPacks purchased by new investors.

Traffic Monsoon has virtually no revenue from any other source.

Because all investor returns are funded through new investor contributions, the company operates as a classic Ponzi scheme.

PayPal froze Traffic Monsoon account – $61 million dollars of invested funds

Up until early 2016, Traffic Monsoon had been using PayPal Holdings, Inc. (“PayPal”) to take in and pay out all funds. At that time, however, PayPal noted the very rapid growth of the program, as well as other suspicious factors indicative of a Ponzi scheme, and froze the company’s funds – approximately $61 million.

Paypal seizure was a significant setback for Traffic Monsoon, with the SEC revealing that ‘almost all member funds were kept in PayPal‘.

Despite their current state of affairs, Scoville claimed he’s going to ‘stand up against (the SEC’s) claims in a court of law.”

Despite what has happened there are at least three fundamental lessons we can learn from Traffic Monsoon’s demise:

1) Always research the company, especially the leadership. Read a lot of reviews and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t just jump all in because of the initial hype!

2) Examine the company product/services, what makes it unique?

3) Make sure the company compensation or pay plan is sound. Be suspicious if they pay commissions primarily on the recruitment of new affiliates.

NOTE: Traffic Monsoon’s revenue generation relied primarily on the sale of AdPacks by investors and all investor returns were funded through new investor contributions, the company operates as a classic Ponzi scheme.

ATTN: Former Traffic Monsoon affiliates and other Network Marketers

Traffic Monsoon is a great example of why it is important to brand YOURSELF and not the company you are affiliated with!

FINAL THOUGHTS

Revenue sharing and network marketing companies come and go all the time, just like many brick and mortar small businesses do but what I find especially disturbing with this development is the amount of people that were involved overseas and will be adversely affected by Traffic Monsoon being their first make money online or from home experience.

If you were promoting Traffic Monsoon please keep your head up and do not let this minor stumbling block quench your entrepreneurial spirit and keep you from pursing your dreams of financial freedom.

To Your Success!

5 Key Reasons You Must Attend Live Events

Charles Lenoir / July 21, 2016

How serious are you about your network marketing business?

Do you really want to become a top earner in your company?

Well if you’re not attending live events, you’re simply missing out on one of the best strategies that’ll help you quickly become a top earner in your business.

In fact, I personally believe that it’s nearly impossible to become a top earner in this industry if you’re not attending live events.

“If you have not been to a live event then your my friend are not in the business yet! “

All top earners in any network marketing company attend their company’s events as well as other industry business building events like internet marketing, lead generation and social media workshops.

In today’s post I wanted to share with you my thoughts on the importance of attending live network marketing events.

Over the years I have attended many network marketing events. Its very hard to put into words the feeling you get when you see a packed stadium or conference center full of motivated entrepreneurs at a live event!

It’s like attending a family reunion!

The people come from all over the world, some successful, some not, but all of them staying the course and not giving up on their dreams!

You can’t help but be inspired, motivated and return home re-energized after the event is over.

If you’re not convinced yet that you absolutely must attend live events, here are 5 key reasons why you should:

Reason #1 – To Meet Top Earners

This is your chance to meet and make connections with top earners in your company or within your niche.

There is something really amazing about being able to rub elbows with the top producers in the business.

They have been where you are and they can help you get to where they are. Take advantage of this opportunity and go learn from them.

Discover what you are doing right and what you might be doing wrong!

If your sponsor is not helping you, this your chance to find a mentor who will take you under their wing and coach you all the way to success.

After all who better to tell you how to make money in the business than the people who have actually done it?

Reason #2 – To Make New Connections

That’s right the name of the game is network marketing. And what better way to “network” and make connections with new people than to attend a live event!

Depending on the type of event there could be hundreds or even thousands of like minded individuals there.

When you get a room filled with like minded motivated, and committed people something magical happens!”

Whenever I attend a live event I make sure to meet as many new people as I possibly can. It is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and form partnerships with other entrepreneurs!

One conversation with the ‘right’ person can spark an idea or a strategy that takes your business from $100 a month to $10,000 practically overnight…

One partnership for me resulted in an extra 5,000 people on my email list…

Besides you never know who you might meet or sit next to that could be the next top earner or future industry leader.

It only makes sense to connect with these rising stars.

A relationship you build today could turn into a lifelong friendship or a super business partnership for many years.

The friendships and relationships I have made have been through attending live events are priceless.

I have found that serious entrepreneurs understand the value of attending live events so it is not unusual to run into the same entrepreneurs at different network marketing and training events outside of their primary business opportunity.

Also at live events I finally get to meet some people that I have only spoke to on the phone or corresponded with through email but never actually met in person.

Reason #3 – To Hear Special Announcements

At every event I have been to the company leadership has always made some special announcement.

Sometimes they unveiled a new product or product line,

Sometimes they announce an update to the compensation plan,

Sometimes they announce their expansion into a new market/country.

These announcements always energize the audience and by attending the live event you hear all the details first before the rest of the field.

And more importantly you have an opportunity to take early action and ride the wave of momentum coming out of the event!

At the event you may also buy discounted marketing material and/or promotional merchandise that is only available to attendees.

Reason #4 – To Get Exclusive Training

At every event that I have been to there’s training designed only for those that purchased event tickets. The training could be in the form of workshop or boot camp led by the top earners in the industry or company.

The event organizers know that people are travelling from great distances to attend the event and many are sacrificing their money and time too, so they wan the event to be first class.

This is why they ask the speakers to present something original that has not been shared already with their organization or in a previous training that can be found on the internet.

It could be a new recruiting strategy or the latest lead generation or marketing tactics/ techniques.

I always pick up a few gold nuggets at the live event that I have not heard or seen anywhere else!

So be prepared to take plenty of notes then share them in a blog post or email them to your team members that could not make it.

Reason #5 – To Build Your Business

One of the greatest opportunities you will ever have to build your business is through attending live events.

And if you do it just right, it can help you build your business fast!

The result?

An instant boost in your teams productivity which can mean thousands of dollars for you.

All leaders understand the importance of bringing as many people on their team as possible to events.

Your teammates will here inspirational stories, feel the excitement and realize that ordinary people can achieve extra-ordinary results.

When they return home they will be motivated and double their efforts. Some will go on to become leaders on your team and a few will become top earners.

If you are new invite anyone and everyone you can to immediately jump start your business.

It’s a great opportunity for you to sit back and let the experts do the work by generating interest for you.

Making the investment with your time, money, and energy to attend networking/marketing events can prove to have the largest ROI (return on investment) in the long term.

Hopefully by reading this post you now have a better understanding of the importance of attending live network marketing events.

By not attending live events you could be missing out on a great opportunity to take your business to the next level.

Do what you need to do but NEVER miss another one of the company’s events ever again. You won’t be sorry you did.

Make sure you SHARE this post with anyone on your team who has never been to a live event.

Why Top Leaders Are Ditching Network Marketing…

Charles Lenoir / June 14, 2016

Top Leaders Are Ditching Network Marketing for a More Profitable Business Model

Here’s why:

Less than 1% of reps in 300 of the most well known companies make a significant profit (just check their publicly disclosed income disclosure statements for yourself if you don’t believe me)
The average distributor will recruit a total of ONLY 2 new reps in their career!
The average passive residual income per team member is roughly $7-10 (which means if you wanted to earn $7000 per month you would need roughly 1000 people in your organization – how close are you to that number?)
95% of companies and biz ops are out of business within 3 years
The average distributor will be involved with at least 7 or more companies (attrition anyone?)

Are you tired of the home “parties”, chasing after strangers, the constant rejection, harassing friends & family, new reps dropping out faster then they came in and tiny commission checks after weeks and months of work trying to build your network marketing business?

Well you’re not alone.

Look I know exactly how you feel.

I struggled for 6 years with 3 different companies trying to build a downline.

I did everything my upline leaders told me to do.

At one point I was doing 15-20 one-on-one meetings per month and I had recruited 16 new distributors!

Yay for me!

But within 3 months… 8 of them disappeared, 4 became virtually inactive and the 4 I had left couldn’t even recruit 1 person!!

Since 2012 I’ve been teaching and training network marketers and work from home entrepreneurs how to generate more leads and grow their businesses online… with MULTIPLE STREAMS of INCOME!!

If you are open to learning about a different business model…

with MULTIPLE income streams… not just depending on one!

A business model myself and thousands of other regular people have been using as an alternative to the tiny commission checks of MLM.

If you would rather have interested prospects come to you, instead of you constantly chasing after people who have little interest in a business opportunity…

If you would rather avoid networking, trying to make conversations with strangers, prospecting in shopping malls and posting flyers all over town…

If you would rather get paid based on YOUR production, YOUR dedication and YOUR hard work rather than hoping that someone on your team finally starts duplicating…

If you would like to learn how you can earn $10,000 / month without needing to recruit an army and depend on duplication…

… there is an alternative.

The Direct Sales / Affiliate Marketing Hybrid Model

My model starts with REAL marketing.

Not prospecting in shopping malls.
Not chasing after strangers.
Not harassing friends and family.

I will teach you how to advertise using the internet… it is 2016 after all!.

I will teach you how to bring interested and qualified people (just like you) to your website, with VALUE not with lame sales pitches.

Need proof that it works?

Well I just brought you here to read this article right now didn’t I?

Exactly.

I can teach you how to do this too.

Then I will teach you how to create multiple streams of income by promoting various valuable products, services and income streams to our website visitors.

Income streams that your visitors actually need.

It’s a lot more fun.

A lot less hassle.

There’s zero rejection.

You can do it from the comfort of your home on your laptop computer.

Or anywhere there’s an internet connection!

And you have the potential to earn a heck of a lot more, in less time, with a lot less babysitting and driving all around town.

By this point, you either disagree with every word I’ve just said and have no clue what I’m talking about… OR…

… this is starting to make a lot of sense.

Why would you waste time chasing after people who aren’t even interested in a home business?

Why would you waste your time chasing after people who give you objections like “is this one of those pyramid schemes?”

No thanks. Not for us.

You’ve got a simple choice to make right now.

You can go right back to doing what you’ve been doing, and keep chasing after that dream that less than 1% of network marketing reps will ever get close to achieving…

OR…

You can learn more about what I do and how I do it… and start building multiple streams of income to make 2016 your first 6 figure income year working from home on your computer.
