Sizzle Cards VS. Business Cards

Sizzle Cards verses Business Cards

With so many options to choose from, how do you know what is the right choice in choosing the right tool to market your business?

Well, lets Visit The Difference between  Sizzle Cards verses Business Cards.

A business card is a tool that is used to give out information about your business but it is very vague with limited information such as, Your name, address, phone number, and a website.
It is a useful tool but not one that has much impact.

A sizzle card is a business card size and it has much more information than just contact info and the back side is also used as well to bullet point some great things about your company or service.

This has a bigger impact because unlike a business card it has a Recorded overview number located on it that someone can call to find out more information about your company, product, or service.

Recorded overview is usually called a sizzle number or hotline.

If your Company has a Recorded overview, you should really be using that to help you with your marketing efforts. You can also Record one yourself by using www.Simplevoicebox.com

I like to use www.vistaprint.com for all my stationary needs.  They are reasonably priced and you can also get matching stationary and magnets for your vehicle as well. If you haven't tried them yet, you really should!

Here are some examples of Sizzle Cards that I use:

Here you will see the Front of each card as well as the back side.

This one is for The Service I provide: 



FRONT SIDE                                                       





            


 This one I use when looking for people interested in working at home:
FRONT SIDE





  





The one below is what I exclusively use in looking for Sales Professionals.
It's like a small ad and I leave these where ever I go



This is meant to be used to have them get a taste of what it is and to have them call me so I can ask a few questions of what they are looking for and direct them to call a detailed Recorded overview which is more like what we would be discussing if we were eye ball to eye ball.


This really just sums it up and I think you can agree, a sizzle card is much better than a business card.  It will give you a greater impact. Believe me, when you get a call from one of these types of cards you can pretty much bet that it is a qualified lead. And, oh my.. its such a time saver!

I hope this information was useful to you!

Beware of Dream Stealers

Although your own internal talk is the most important, you will occasionally need to seek external feedback on your progress toward your goals. When you do, be sure it is from people who are truly interested in seeing you succeed.

Don’t seek feedback from fair-weather friends, competitive peers, or any person who doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Neutral doesn’t count. Get feedback from someone who is on your side but will still be objective and honest with you.

 

I’ve seen it time and again that misery truly does love company. Jealousy creates some of the most miserable people I know. Surpass the achievements of your particular social crowd or your business colleagues, and look out for the slings and arrows of those who wish you were back where they are. You have to dodge the snide remarks and catty comments. Let them roll right off you. Don’t internalize them.

             
Only pay attention to feedback from those who have similar goals or who are working actively alongside you to achieve goals of their own. Motives and fears run deep. Study them in others. The sympathetic fair-weather friend who supports you and comforts you when you’re down, may like you best when you are in just that state: down and dependent.

 

Ultimately, nobody else is responsible for your life but you. Nobody else is accountable for your actions but you. Therefore, nobody’s expectations for you and opinions about you are as important as your own. So make sure those take precedence in your mind over all others, and if you do need to consult with someone else, think very carefully before you choose exactly who.

 

 

Equally important, be prepared to sell your ideas to an indifferent world. As passionate as you are about your business and the fact that your products and services will have positive, life-changing benefits to everyone you meet, you are going to find resistance every time you tell your story.
People are most interested in their own dreams and goals. They have difficulty believing that you have found a better way than they have to reach them. They are suspicious and guarded when anyone tries to sell them or change their minds. Rather than have others steal your dreams by raining on them, ask questions and find out about their dreams before you launch into your sermon. People buy what they want first, then what they need. Find what turns them on. It may not be what turns you on. By helping others get what they want, you’ll get what you want too!

The Habits of Success and Simple actions to get there

The Habits of Success and The simple actions to get there     Develop and reinforce these five habits of success.  When you do, you will not have to make new decisions every morning. You instinctively know what you are going to do and how you are going to do it!

1. The habit of POSITIVE THINKING! Successful people have simply formed the habit of doing what failures do not like to do and will not do: they think positively!  They have the habit of expecting to win, the habit of planning to win,  the habit of working to win . . . and they win! 2. The habit of PROSPECTING! Develop this habit and you will have prospects everywhere and you will have an endless supply of Class–A leads. 3. The habit of CALLING ON PEOPLE! This makes selling fun and exciting — and fruitful! 4. The habit of SELLING! Use a system or sales presentation. Follow it to a “T”! It will make you a skilled communicator, a person who speaks with emotion and conviction. 5. The habit of WORKING! Work is a privilege! Work is a joy! It is one of the most exciting things you can do.  When you get results, it pumps your adrenalin, gives you more energy, and multiplies more results! How do you acquire these habits? You simply decide that the opportunity of presenting is a service is worth doing! Determine ahead of time the personal goals you  can achieve for success in this business! Be confident that you have the ability to change or to do whatever it takes to get the job done! Enter into it without giving mental recognition to the  possibility of defeat! Live each day with positive expectancy! Stick to the basics and the fundamentals! The fact is that living the life of your dreams is possible. People prove that every day. Someone somewhere is going to get rich,  get healthy and improve their life. My recommendation is this: Let it be you! So what are the Simple actions you ask. Here they are... The first and most important is to make a commitment to work on yourself.  Are you going to improve or stay the same? No matter what you have achieved, you are at a certain point right now. What you have achieved in the past is fine, but it doesn’t make a difference for the future. The decision about what you will become is made each day and every day. Each day someone is making  the decision to better him or herself. Let that person be you! The second is to make a plan.  Once you have decided to become better you will have to have a plan. It doesn’t have to be a long, intricate plan. It can be simple. Save a dollar a day. Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. That is a simple plan with achievable goals.  Someone is going to develop a plan that will take them into the future of their dreams. Let it be you! The third is to begin to act. All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you. My encouragement to you is to stop looking at others who live the good life, wishing that you were as well, and instead begin to commit to your improvement, develop a plan and act on it. Someone is going to. Let it be you! Blessings!

But Today I want to talk about how Many people are looking for definite answers to complicated and often empty questions that will have very little impact on their happiness and well-being.                                                                       

 

Sometimes, I get myself all worked up doing this too…

Reasons Why You Should have a Blog.

Sometimes people say to me - why do I need a blog?  I have a company website already, what is a blog going to do for me?

Great question and there are so many reasons why a blog can set you apart tremendously as a go-to resource, and a leader in your company/business.

While many of us are also busy on Facebook creating notes, shooting YouTube videos and more, a blog is really the Centerpiece

of all of your marketing efforts. This is the place you want to bring people back to in order to really do business. Social Media was not created for advertising, and yet we know business goes on there, and certainly leads and prospects are generated there. So, how do we move people into business mode? Through your blog, where you showcase yourself and your commitment to your business. Your blog/site is your most valuable piece of online real estate because, let's face it, you don't own your Facebook profile/timeline or page; or your YouTube channel, etc. So, putting all of your eggs in that basket can be dangerous, if a site should suddenly change its rules! Plus, social sites are designed for meeting people, building relationships and connecting with prospects; not for selling and pitching! Here are five key things your blog can do for you: Expand your credibility. Being known as an "expert" in your field is not about knowing everything, but rather just slightly more than your prospect. Define Leadership. Just like expanding credibility, your blog can define your role as a leader through the content and real-life experiences  that you share. Allow your prospects to see your business from the inside when you share what you do day to day, week to week, month to month. Generate online leads at random. People go online looking for all different things in the search engines. Each of your blog posts acts as its own mini website and can generate traffic and interested prospects through the search engines. Create a learning environment before they sign up. Most of us focus solely on getting the sign up. Imagine training your prospect before they sign up and setting their expectations for the business. This can create a new team partner who gets out of the gate at a rapid speed. Get  loved by Google. While no one knows for sure exactly how Google ranks websites, one thing is certain: they love fresh content and a site/blog that is relevant. You can move your site up in Google very naturally by being consistent and thoughtful in your blogging strategy. Blogging is a great way to generate qualified leads and tie in all of your other online and offline activities.  It is a natural extension of your offline activities and a great way to attract and keep the perfect audience for you and your business!

A Goal is more than just writing Stuff down on Paper.

There have been countless articles on Goal Settingbut how do you actually go about Setting and Getting Your Goal?
Some great advice? Great Leaders are Great Followers first. Heres a few Key people that I suggest you follow. Jeffery Combs, Art Williams "Just Do It" speech on you tube, and of course "Nike" the big sports Company with wise words, "Just do it"

You might be saying at this point, "Thats all fine and dandy but what do I actually do to achieve my goals"?

First, Start with your Mindset: Create an atmosphere of prosperity
Too many of us have a negative self talk that will talk us right out of our dreams and goals. Instead of talking lack into your existence, make a consious decision every day to create an atmosphere in your life of prosperity by using power phrases and words like "I will", "I Can","I am"

Just Decide
Make the decision first that you WILL accomplish what it is you need to do regardless of obstacles, fears or doubt.
Decide then Act.

Show up!
Many of us have been programed to work 40 hours a week for 40 years and show up on time for an employer to help them achieve their goals, but what about YOU? Dont you deserve to show up for yourself everyday to make your goals and dreams a reality? YES YOU DO! You deserve right now to have everything you deserve and more! Show up for yourself every day and I promise, You too will be living the life that you have imagined while everyone else is merely getting by.

Visualize the End result
Sit back, relax in a quiet spot and look into your minds eye. One of the most important exercises you can do is to visualize the outcome of your goal.
What does it look like?, How does it feel?, Where will you be?, When or What time of year is it?
See it all in your minds eye! This is Powerful

Ok, So now what?
Now that you see it in your minds eye and feel what it will be like when you achieve that goal, you need skill, discipline, and consistency to make it happen.

Set a goal date
This must be realistic. What kind of goal are you going for?
Set small goals along the way in 90 day increments. With in that increment set daily action goals that are bite sized and do remember to Show up for yourself!

Without work, we have no momentum
Be Consistent.

Break it down into Steps or Mini goals
Breaking it down into smaller more manageable bite size pieces every day creates a blueprint for your foundation.


Now, Heres an exercise for you to do:

1. Write down your main goal.
2. List 10 action steps that will lead you to the achievement of that goal.
3. Get started on one step today.

Dont be like a GPS with no address to navigate to. Imput your goal and drive smart to your desired location.
