Wow, James, another great pair of secrets from you. I’m looking forward to the finished product being released. What you have to say here is very true. Sending a personal note is critical–a handwritten one even better. It adds even more significance, and you can include your business cards for ready access.

I really appreciate your view on only helping people who WANT to be helped. I have wasted a lot of time trying to help people who just wanted a free ride. Can’t wait for the next pages.

By Lucille Felton on 03.12.06 5:35 pm

Hi James,
Thanks for the next two secrets. I enjoyed the first part so much I’ve been checking this blog daily ever since just in case I missed your email!.

Seems like it paid off today as I’ve already had the pleasure of reading 3 & 4 before your email even reached me!

I’m really excited about your project and can’t wait to see the whole package.

Keep up the good work
Eleanor

Very worthy information that we all need to be reminded of. Thanks

Hello James!
The parts 3 and 4 of your report are the continuation of what I have expected.
Now doubt about it: the best and most helpful report I ever read.

Thank you
Bernd Braun

James,
Thought I had missed parts 3 and 4 and was pleasantly surprised to get your email this afternoon. Right On ! Great work and everybody reading these should be responding (which we know they won’t)
I will be looking forward to 5 and 6 and of course the launch to come.

By Dave Bennett on 03.12.06 5:56 pm

Hi James,

I always enjoy getting an email from my sponsor - I know he’s really busy so I appreciate his time.

It makes sense that my downline would also appreciate a personal welcome from me (their sponsor) when they join and then tips, reminders, etc. after that - that’s probably why it’s called network marketing

And thanks for the reminder that we should focus more on helping those who really do want help!

Like everyone else I’m looking forward to the next installment - thank you

Hi James,

What you said about sending out a Welcome letter is all by far the truth.
This is not a surprise but actually a lesson in courtesy. Remember this was taught to us by our parents & once in school. Today,it’s all gimme,gimme.
The suggestion about testing people in order to weed out your potential prospects is good. I must admit, I never thought of this idea. Just from this preview I already had 2 eye opening exposures.
I know I’m jumping the gun here, but I’d like to know if this preview will be available publicly? Nice attention grabber.

Thanks,
Liz

Hi James,

I like your material. I hear you loud and clear. Only by giving do we receive and certainly by helping genuine people trully makes it all worth while.

The 7 Secrets guide will be a very effective set of tools. Like very much what I’ve read so far.

Keep up the great work

Hello James

You hit the nail on the head every time I have tried to help loads of people in my downlines for different programs and because I get no response it makes me want to give up.
Why do so many people join these programs looking for a FREE ride teamwork works if only people would work as a team.
Can’t wait for launch day to get the full package.
Thanks James

Still plugging away never giving up.

About people bringing you down in life, ain’t that the truth! That’s true of anything you’re doing in your life. People who bring you down aren’t good for you.

By Katie on 03.12.06 8:07 pm

James,

Once again, remarkable insights!

Proper follow up is a vital key to business successs. In addition, training others to be success is just important. However, we must spend our time with those who sincerely want to be successful.

I appreciate your strategy on having leaders approach you, so that you can better identify those who are truly coachable!

By Danny C. Murphy on 03.12.06 10:09 pm

James,
Thank you so much for the free download in Chapter 3. I can’t believe that I’ve been in this networking thing for over 10 years and I’ve never been exposed to this book. I absolutely can’t wait for the next two chapters, I too checked your blog daily for the next two installments. Once again, great job!!!

By ricarda goins-mills on 03.13.06 1:49 am

James,

Thank you very much for opening my mind. I do hope fellow network marketers would realize,just like what I did, the importance of selecting “potential future leaders”.

Now I’m on realigning my goals with your teachings. And I firmly believe that the outcome will be positve.

By Michael Antonio on 03.13.06 2:59 am

i have read your 3 and four step and now i understand two things.
i wont bother again with members that dont give a B.S. about what i tell them to do and i will start focus on the ones that really want to be helped.

thanks James

By Jose Furtado on 03.13.06 4:30 pm

James,
I wanted to thank you for letting me know that I am still on track with myself. It is really hard to know how one is doing when none of your downline will respond and let you know. I do send out Personal Welcome emails for all my new members along with the autoresponse welcomes from the company. I send them all my contacting information and give them the option of using the one best suited to them. I even ask them a couple of simple questions to get them to respond to me, of course most do not respond. Which goes to step #4, if after a couple of contact attempts and they still don’t respond, I let them know the door is open when they are ready to come in and get busy. Allowing me to help the ones who want help.
The Greatest Networker In the World, is the best networking book I have read. I came across it a few months ago, but a great idea to give it to the members and have them read it.

By Dave Richards on 03.13.06 8:05 pm

Hi James,

Thanks for the great 4 (so far) downline secrets, it remind me to send a welcome email and maintain relationship with them. I also like the “Greatest Networker” ebook & audio, not only because it’s free, but the great ideas inside, look like i’ve found a gold mine.

Can’t wait for the last 3 secrets…
Thanks.

By albert teo on 03.14.06 11:25 am

Powerful stuff!!
I am just starting out and have found this to be incredibly helpful-Business ideas are easy to have, but incredibly hard to implement.
Keep up the good work-I need all the help I can get!!

By Julie on 03.14.06 11:41 am

James,

Thanks for writing secrets three and four. They are great additions to secrets one and two. Your information is growing my marketing knowledge significantly!

Thanks!

By Erin on 03.14.06 2:36 pm

I can’t wait to get the rest of the secrets.
I would have to agree the information on helping people who want to be helped was very helpful for me.

By Mike on 03.14.06 3:08 pm

James,
You are 100% correct, and the methods you use are excellent - that’s why I am reading your blog right now instead of watching TV or mindless web browsing. The secret is to get people to act, and act now. To do that you might have to dangle the carrot in front of them, but if that is what you need to do, then do it - but do it now. Nature rewards action, and I firmly believe that if you are willing to help people, then you will get what you richly deserve.

By Pierce O'Brien on 03.14.06 3:21 pm

Secret 3 and 4 are important. Leeches can not only waste your time, they can destroy your mindset if you let them. I like the idea about the introductory email including an assignment and “contact me when you’re done or if you have any questions.” I use this even in the lead-suspect-prospect transition… every communication from me gives them something to do- visit a website, attend this call, read this… if they can’t even make it through the system THEY WILL BE USING THEMSELVES I don’t want them on my team, or even the people they might accidentally recruit. They have disqualified themselves.
If one accidentally DOES get on my team, I do exactly as you say- I am available, but only if they have completed all assignments up to that point. I can give them a model for success, but I can only help them if they FOLLOW it. Essential pieces of advice you’ve given here. I’d add one more- your sponsor MAY call you, but DON’T expect it. If you’re following the plan, you should do OK; if you’re NOT following the plan, you might have your reasons & may or may not get back on track (life and attention distractions happen). Either way, it is not your sponsor’s job to push you to success or failure, that ball is solely in your court.

Hello James,

Well, you did it again.

In the cyber world of info overload, you’ve managed to zero in on the essentials and bring it home.

I’m reading this and saying, how simple and yet so true. Sending a welcome email - hardly anyone takes a second look at this. I mean, it’s a given right? And yet, I remember joining programs and not receiving one.

There were times when I may have neglected this myself.

And sifting through the potentials and the … ehem … “vampires”, I’m glad you said that. Cuz I’m doing the exact same thing you said will make me crash and burn. In trying to help everybody, sometimes we end up not helping anyone … least of all, yourself.

While I was watching an Ice-skating contest, the commentator said, “What that contestant just did was a difficult maneuver. But she made it look sooo easy. And that’s the mark of a professional - they make the hard things look sooo easy and smooth.”

I could say the same about you James!

Your info on building a downline or recruiting into expansion is what I have looked at over the past few years with one company. One person of ten or twenty who will actually work rather wanting me to do it for them, is the usual rate of return on my invested efforts. Hopefully you have some new insights into inspriring folks into see the value in being self-employed and actually working to accomplish it.

By Terry on 03.21.06 2:08 pm

Hello james good work on this info we thank you my team and i for helping us build our “DL” by 3% in that short time spand
