This is a great story form Tom “Big Al” Schreiter…NOTICE THE WORD PICTURES!!!! Word pictures will help you in network marketing because people connect with the word picture.  An example, If  I told you I could show you how to make an extra $500-$2000 a month, or if I told you I could show you how to get rid of 2- bills a month or buy that car with big rubber tires which will you remember? Enjoy the story I’m sure you’ll laugh……I DID!!!

Some time ago, I was enjoying a nice walk along the Victoria, BC harbor. It was busy with vendors selling useless tourist goods, tour operators, and then . . . there was this young lady playing the violin.

In front of her was her open violin case ready to accept a few coins from tourists passing by.

Screech, screech, screech.

When you listened, it felt as though she was dragging her nails down a chalkboard. I seriously considered giving her money to stop. But that would be rewarding her for irritating me, so I had a different strategy.

I talked to her.

Since she obviously was a beginner, she couldn’t talk and play at the same time, so she stopped playing for our short conversation.

Big Al: So how long have you been torturing tourists with your music?

Alleged violinist: About two months now. I just started violin lessons and my family won’t let me practice in the house. They said I should get out more and enjoy the fresh air.

Big Al: Why did you decide to practice here? Couldn’t you go someplace where no one would suffer?

Alleged violinist: I thought about that, but hey, take a look at all the money in my violin case. I’m getting paid to practice my violin. It’s awesome! I put a couple of coins in my violin case, start playing, and the tourists just keep throwing in more money as they pass by.

Big Al: You decided that as long as you have to practice anyway, why not get paid for it. That’s using a technique I teach called “underutilized assets.” It’s part of my Power Marketing & Promotions Workshop for advanced marketers.

Alleged violinist: Looks like I don’t have to go to your workshop.

Big Al: So what other advantages have you realized in addition to getting paid to practice?

Alleged violinist: I learn a lot about human nature. I can tell by a tourist’s eyes if he will donate a few coins or walk by. It’s interesting to see how people react to my playing. Sometimes they can’t make up their mind whether to donate or walk by. If I smile and make eye contact, they donate. If I don’t, well, no coins for me. I’ve learned to control my income.

Big Al: You’re getting paid to practice and you’re also learning about human nature. That’s awesome marketing.

Alleged violinist: It gets better. I’m getting three psychology college credits for this “life experience.” That’s one less course I’ll have to take next semester. This should give me a lot more party time with my friends.

Big Al: I’m afraid to ask. Does it get any better?

Alleged violinist: Do you see that expensive car over there? I’m here for a couple of hours every day. I told the driver of that car that I would “keep an eye on his car” for him for only $10. You have to be careful. A lot of cars are stolen in major tourist areas around the world.

Big Al: So you get money from the car owner in addition to the money tourists donate for your playing. You really know how to get the most out of a couple hours of your time.

Alleged violinist: That’s only just a start. My family gives me another $10 every day before I leave. They want to make sure I have enough money for some food and something to drink. After all, I am out here all alone in the elements.

Big Al: I bet it doesn’t cost you $10 for food and something to drink every day, does it?

Alleged violinist: Actually, I get my food and drinks for free. Most of the food vendors here on the street will give me free food and drinks if I promise not to play too close to their booth. Sometimes I collect too much food and drinks, so I sell the extras to those broke guitar players across the street. They just don’t “get it.”

Big Al: Enough about your “multiple streams of income.” You’re always smiling. How come?

Alleged violinist: I’m getting a couple hours of serious boyfriend scouting every day. I can tell which boys are just in town for the day, which boys are local, which boys have jobs, and many times I can see them working here at one of the local merchants. I’ve narrowed down my new boyfriend candidates to about four. And playing this violin is an easy way to meet and talk with boys.

Big Al: You really know how to get the maximum out of just practicing the violin.

Alleged violinist: So tell me, if I were to go to your Power Marketing & Promotions Workshop, what else would I learn about “underutilized assets?”

Big Al: Here is $10.

Do you ever notice that the successful network marketers have a positive personality type?

Does the positive attitude come from them being already successful?

Or, maybe these successful network marketers had the positive attitude first — and that positive attitude propelled them to success?

You be the judge.

While it is easy to have a great attitude when you are already successful, usually the positive attitude comes first and demonstrates itself by attracting success.

How can people overcome their fear of contacting prospects?

It’s a matter of desire. People usually get what they want most.

For instance, there is a choice between a good television show and attending an opportunity meeting. Some people will want to see the television show more than they want the success that comes from attending opportunity meetings with guests.

So, they watch television because they truly want that more than the long drive to hear a boring speaker at the meeting.

The same holds true when talking to people. What does a person want more?

• Does this person want the calm, non-threatening day-to-day life void of rejection?

• Or, does this person want prospecting success more than he desires to avoid rejection?

Sobering, isn’t it? Many people say they want success, but deep down they want activities that pose a lesser challenge. Thanks To Tom “Big Al” Schreiter you can reach your life dreams, it’s quite simple and no need for all the junk the GURU’S want to sell you.

Here is a way to meet them half-way, and to sort out the time-wasters.

You know the scenario. You are having dinner with your family and the telephone rings. The caller says:

“Hey, upline. My business isn’t doing so well. What are you going to do about it?”

Every failure wants to make it somebody else’s fault or responsibility. If a distributor’s business is failing, who really is to blame?

Is the upline to blame?

Take an average sponsor who has been in the business for five years. Some of the distributors he sponsored are successful. Some of the distributors he sponsored are unsuccessful.

Yet, both the successful distributors and the unsuccessful distributors have the exact same sponsor!

Take a lousy sponsor who has been in the business for five years. Some of the distributors he sponsored are successful. Some of the distributors he sponsored are unsuccessful.

Yet, both these successful distributors and these unsuccessful distributors have the exact same sponsor!

So, you can’t blame the sponsor. The responsibility for success lies entirely with the distributor.

If you tell a distributor that his failure is because of his actions, that’s a little harsh. After all, if the distributor understood that he was entirely responsible for his success, well, he’d probably already be a success.

So, how do you help your unsuccessful distributor focus on the real cause of his failure, his actions?

You could create a form called, “Request For Upline Assistance.”

This form serves two purposes:

1.) It helps the unsuccessful distributor discover that his actions make the difference.

2.) This form protects you from the time-wasters who simply want a free handout from you, while they watch.

Here is a sample form:

Request For Upline Assistance

Need some additional help building your business? Your upline can help you.

To know what type of help would be most beneficial, it’s important to know what you want to accomplish and how you want to accomplish that goal. This form will help you focus and decide where to start.

1. What is your monthly income goal from your networking business?

2. How many total distributors will you need in your downline to accomplish that goal?

3. How many total distributors are in your downline now?

4. How do you plan to sponsor the additional distributors to reach your goal?

5. How many new prospecting contacts did you make last week?

Last month?

6. How many business presentations did you make last week?

Last month?

7. What is your most successful sponsoring method so far?

8. List the last five books you’ve read that made a difference in your life:

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

9. How many hours per week do you spend in training and self-improvement?

10. How do you spend your self-improvement hours?

11. How much do you invest in your training and development monthly (include travel, seminar fees, books, etc.)?

12. What reasons do you allow to hold you back from your goals?

13. What is the most important reason you want to be successful in your business?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

You will want your unsuccessful downline distributor to fill out this form completely before you offer advice, information, cures, remedies, motivational talks and your personal shoulder to cry on.

The form will help you determine if your distributor is serious about learning the skills to become successful.

Have you ever spent hours, days, and weeks helping a distributor who did not progress in his business? We all have.

Now, by using this form, you can monitor where your distributor is today, and where he will be one week from now, one month from now, one year from now.

Your distributor will quickly see that building his business is determined by his personal growth and his personal actions.

It’s agreed. Headlines can make up 90% of your ad’s effectiveness. If your headline is a dud, no one will read your ad. Of course, when we say headline, we can also extrapolate that to mean the first words out of your mouth in a recruiting or selling situation. Sharpen up what we say and watch our incomes grow.

Let’s take a look at a recent headline that could inspire us to do better.

From a computer magazine:

The Amazonian piranha uses razor-sharp teeth to rip outbloody chunks of your quivering flesh until you thrash and convulse in mind-numbing agony and plead for someone to kill you. (Sort of like using someone else’s network fax solution.)

What do you think of the headline? Does it create emotion in the reader? It certainly is different.

Notice how the author used verbs. Verbs make the headline strong. Too many amateur headline writers grab the nearest thesaurus and try to make the headline interesting by using descriptive adjectives. Adjectives are weak. Verbs are strong.

If you think the headline is too long, that’s okay. It doesn’t matter what we think. It’s what the prospect thinks that counts. Research shows that longer headlines pull better than shorter headlines. So if your compulsive aesthetic tendencies force you to write shorter headlines, well, you are just reducing your potential response.

I like the above headline a lot. I’ll probably plagiarize it and put a similar headline to use for a client or for myself. I’m not sure what it is about the headline that grabs me. Maybe it’s the “thrash” and “convulse” verbs. Like I said, “Verbs are powerful.”

Plagiarize? Yes. Most great ideas are plagiarized or inspired from another idea. Someone said, “There are no new ideas under the sun, we’re just looking at old ideas differently.”

Well, I don’t agree with the above quote. I do think there are new ideas all the time. However, most of those ideas aren’t coming from me. I use other people’s ideas and try to improve them. For instance, someone looked at a car and said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if it could fly?” Thus, the airplane.

Anyway, back to the headline. Can we use this headline to inspire us to invent a similar headline for our MLM opportunity? I think so. Let’s try.

First, here’s the original headline:

The Amazonian piranha uses razor-sharp teeth to rip outbloody chunks of your quivering flesh until you thrash and convulse in mind-numbing agony and plead for someone to kill you. (Sort of like using someone else’s network fax solution.)

An MLM version might go something like this:

The I.R.S. uses its blood-sucking deductions to shrivel your paycheck so that you slave away in work bondage until you’re 65. Then you can starve to death on 40% of your original income.

Too gruesome? Maybe. However, it will make people wince. The headline is emotional and does cause people to think.

Remember, this headline doesn’t have to be in print. It could be one of the first phrases out of your mouth during a recruiting presentation. Or, maybe you can open your opportunity meeting with this headline.

Let’s try another version of the original headline:

The new stay-at-home businessperson strolls to his mailbox to pick up this month’s bonus check. As his depressed neighbor leaves for his daily two-hour commute to his job, he thinks, “Yeah, gloat now. Party later!“

See? It’s not too hard to take an original idea and customize it to your MLM needs. Just think, “Action & Emotion.” Why?

Because boring headlines are like drug-induced comas. They deaden the senses. They turn prospects into zombies, barely existing in their oxygen-deprived, mind-numbing world.

When prospecting, you will want to look for that important ingredient — motivation.

Many people have skill but have no motivation.

For instance, you may know a bank vice-president with many contacts, a wonderful personality, and terrific people skills. Yet, even though the bank vice-president has many skills, you don’t have a potential leader if he isn’t motivated for a change in his life.

Who would be better?

Find prospects with an intense motivation for change.

Some prospects want to leave a boring factory job, a high-pressure sales job, or a dead-end career. When you offer an opportunity for change, they will have total motivation, and will devote 100% of their time.

You won’t have to send them a motivational tip of the day. You won’t have to console them because a prospect didn’t join. These select potential leaders have a built-in, sustainable motivation. In other words, they won’t need a constant reminder of why they are doing the business.

Highly-motivated potential leaders don’t need skills. Because of their built-in motivation, they will always find a way to get the job done.

The most motivated prospect without skills will always out-perform the unmotivated prospect with skills. Remember, look for motivation when prospecting, not skills.

Tom “Big Al” Schreiter is an amazing mentor. Few people see what he see’s or knows what he knows. His free training is the best I have ever seen…….because it’s not about products or companies it’s about you!!! Here is more great training thanks to Tom!!

My wife and I rented a car and drove through Vermont and New Hampshire.

It’s quiet there. Mountains, trees, wonderful scenery . . . and no shopping malls for miles.

My wife couldn’t stand it.

We’re driving along a small highway and see a small handwritten sign, “Harvest Thyme Herbs — 2 miles.”

So we’re off. We drive two miles along dirt roads until we come to this house.

No one is there. But there’s a sign on the door. Here is the sign:

What?

Just walk in, shop, take what you want, and leave the money on the counter?

I knew I wasn’t in New York City.

These shrewd New Englanders were making it too easy to spend money. My wife succumbed to the temptation.

We bought a bunch of useless fragrances, candles, touristy gifts (my translation of my wife’s discovered treasures), filled out our own receipt, put our cash on top of the other receipts and cash, and walked out a few dollars poorer.

But there was no complicated decision whether to buy or not. In fact, it was impossible not to buy. How could you resist participating in such a unique buying experience?

So where was the sales pitch?

Guess what? There wasn’t even a presentation!

And that hit me like a ton of bricks.

Why can’t we make joining network marketing so easy that we don’t even need to give a presentation?

Is your brain seeing the possibilities too?

Are you also thinking:

“Hey, if we don’t have to make a bunch of appointments, give a bunch of presentations, train our distributors for days and days . . . and wow! This means that anyone would love to join and participate in our business.”

This changes things, doesn’t it?

I’m not saying that we throw away everything we do as professional network marketers.

However, the simpler we make the buying and joining decision, the easier our business will become. I can help you reach your dreams and that’s the most important thing….never let someone steal your dreams!!!!

About 30 years, I was giving a famous Big Al “five-step
presentation” to a hot prospect.
Now, you have to remember that I was the famous “Big Al” that
created this incredible 20-minute five-step presentation that no
one could refuse. Everyone signed up into my program.
Well, at the end of my presentation, the hot prospect said:
“No.”
The hot prospect did not sign up!
And I quickly replied:
“Don’t you know who I am? I’m the famous Big Al!”
Three days later, I ran across the same young man and he had
joined another opportunity. Not just any opportunity – he had
joined a seventeen-generation, Xerox chain letter straight from
prison – a real piece of garbage!
Now if that were to happen to you,
what would come across your mind?

I finally decided to take personal responsibility for my

results. Instead of blaming the prospects, I decided to accept

that my results were caused by . . . me.

So here is the question that crossed my mind:

“What did his sponsor say to him that I didn’t?”

Good question. I decided to find out.

I always wanted to do this – it’s straight out of a ‘B’ movie –

so I said to my former hot prospect:

“Take me to your leader!”

Let’s see. We have:

I just cant get enough of the no-nonsense teachings of Tom “big al” Schreiter!!!!  Here’s some good advice!!

Take action on the facts you’ve experienced.

Sometimes we sabotage our businesses.

How? When we confuse advice with truth.

Sometimes we blindly listen to the advice and opinions of others and put their ideas to work in our business — without checking out the real facts. We hear well-meaning advice such as:

1. Never join a ground floor opportunity. (So, if no one joined a ground floor opportunity, then how do companies get started?)

2. Always sponsor “up” — not “down.” (If we’re supposed to always prospect and sponsor someone better than ourselves, does that mean our friends or relatives aren’t welcome in our business? What about a younger brother?)

3. Never give a presentation unless both the husband and wife are present. (Many network marketing leaders still have a spouse who won’t support them or their businesses — yet they continue to build large organizations.)

I could give many more examples, but the point is: we must look at the facts.

For example, most U.S. publishers won’t take requests from foreign countries.

They say:

“It’s too expensive to ship to them. Most of them are bored literature collectors. It’s too hard for them to buy. They never buy anything anyway.”

Well, these publishers might be giving others great advice — or maybe lousy advice. I didn’t know, so I looked at the facts.

I took our publishing statistics one month for new Internet inquiries and here are the results.

Surprise!

After looking at the facts, I realized that a first time request for information from someone outside of the United States was not a waste of time. (These statistics were only for the people who didn’t purchase on their first visit to our web site, but asked for further information.)

So what about your business?

Are you acting on bad advice? Are you blindly accepting other people’s biased opinions? Remember, only you can test accurately for your business. Want some help?? Ask me!!!
