Something to Think About
Les Brown, a noted inspirational speaker, and author of the DVD Step Into Your Greatness, tells the story of one of his friends, a salesman, who was in financial trouble because sales were down. Les asked him, "How many phone calls are you making a day?" His friend answered, "Twenty five."
Les didn't hesitate with his advice. "Double them," he said. "Make fifty. Or seventy-five. Or one hundred."
The salesman answered, "Aw, man. that's too much."
"Too much!" replied Les. "You tell me that you are behind on your bills and then you say it's too much. You know, one way to get back on your feet real quick is to miss two car payments. How can you say anything is too much when you have everything at stake?"
The advice Les Brown gave his friend needs to be heard by people everywhere. It's amazing what we can do when we're "hungry" for success. Most people who say "I've tried," haven't scratched the surface of their potential.
Saying "I'll try" really means " I'm not really committed "
Today, why not make a commitment to achieve your personal best?

Recent Information I sent out to some friends!
Hi There,
As you know we’ve got this thriving part-time business with UK Company of the Year Telecom Plus Plc. We’re thriving on the back of the recession. Please read this article to see why the timing is key for NOW! . The business runs in the format of a Discount Club allowing big shops like ASDA, B&Q, Marks + Spencers and TopShop to contribute to a customers household bills when we shop in their stores, the core services of telecoms, energy and mobiles are all the best in the UK without question.
I help coach and mentor people to be successful in their first steps in the market of word of mouth recommendations. Most people do not have experience of sales and marketing so we keep it simple and only use tools that work (mainly their gob!). All training is free from the company and the support is given in a team atmosphere at fabulous events up and down the country and locally too. See http://www.welovetheclub.co.uk/ and press ‘earn with us’ for an intro video. :
Amongst many others we’re currently helping lots of people to succeed for whatever reason they joined. If you read my article above you’ll see there are millions of people looking for our help right now but need the support in place to take the plunge – this is our proudest asset
Previously the ‘deposit’ to start the business was £199.75 it has now been halved to £99 incl VAT. New partners get a £500 bonus for finding their first 12 club members (people who want to save money) within a 3 month window after full training (plus of course any commissions earned on the way).
If you can put me in touch with anybody who is thinking (or needing) to set up their own business, add to their income, needs a safety net for the future or to bolster their pension arrangements please let me know. You might just be able to help somebody in their time of economic need. The share price hit £4.80 today and we fully expect it to be £10 over the next few years, if people need the right horse to back but without big risk this is it!!!
Remember it’s http://www.welovetheclub.co.uk/ ‘earn with us’.
Very Best Regards and Thank You

Business of the 21st Century?
This is my first penned article about the industry....please be gentle!
Many of your friends, colleagues, your boss and maybe you and your family are sat uncomfortably about the future. The headlines bombard us every day with rising mortages, falling pensions, more unemployment and tighter finances. How many people have mentioned to you about 'wanting to run their own business' in the last 12 months?
In the 1980's the recession combined with the drastic Thatcher reforms led to Franchising coming of age, when 000's of people applied themselves to proven business models, training, support and even marketing assistance. The Franchisees job was to provide the 'action' the company the product. It's a little known fact that when franchising was finding it's feet in the middle of the 20th Century it was very close to being banned as a 'pyramid scheme'. Think about it, pay for business, get no help, fail miserably. Franchising had to grow up quickly and indeed it did - through systems, processes and training. McDonald's University isn't an urban myth!!
Our very own car leasing business is part of a very successful franchise run by the world's largest leasing company. Systems, training, conferences, awards, coaching - all included, we simply fuel the fire with activity to get the business in the door!
Alongside this Franchising pheonomen there was a similar business model car-crashing it's way through the economy- Network Marketing. The model is simple, use the product, recommend it and build a team of motivated people doing the same. The problem was a massive failure rate, no systems, no training, only the go-getters ever succeeded and they were few and far between in the early days. Have you seen the adverts 'Entreprenueurs Wanted' and thought "SCAM" ? I did too and this is why millions of people have not responded - risk-taker, pioneer, all or nothing - just isn't most of us is it? Franchising allowed people to go half way and now............
Jump forward 30 years. New Government, drastic fiscal measures, almost certainty that things aren't going to get better for most of the UK. It's a mirror image of the conditions that sent franchising mad!
Millions of people need to do 'something' but aren't sure how. The banks aren't lending to start a new business, even a franchise can cost £50,000 or more and 5 years just to break even. More importantly that desk in the corner is lot more secure than going it alone. But guess what - Network Marketing has come of age. Training, systems, support. No more wooping and holloring!! Start up fees are low and often recouped quickly if new people 'plug in' to the system. Network Marketing can offer people the opportunity to develop a business part-time whilst remaining in their secure job 'for now'. With expert coaching, unlimited training, fabulous personal development and if taken seriously an opportunity to be free of employment in a relatively short space of time. I would suggest 2-10 years dependent on the person, the company, the products etc.
It isn't for me to say which opportunities are better than others, as I don't know the details about the others. I do believe that when operating in a recession the product of 'saving money' is fairly appealing to most people. I might struggle myself to ask my contacts to 'purchase' something. Hence the products associated with my company are certainly not 'sexy' yet everyone uses them. Those services being shops, petrol stations, telephones. mobile phones, energy and the internet. The core services regularly achieve awards from leading consumer publications. All we do is take the shop to the customer in an age of 'over-information'. NOTE: this isn't about selling utilities it's recommending a Discount Club.
After just over a year of learning, listening, copying, training and being coached (doing as we're told) myself and Nina are now helping dozens of people 'plug in' to the system to copy just what we did (and lot of what we didn't). We are working with a FTSE 250 business operated by the creme de la creme of City talent, they gave me share options for doing well, we're on target for a holiday for doing what we'd do anyway. We have direct access and first name terms to some of the most established and biggest earners and we have a 100% will to provide a secure, proven and achievable business for those willing to learn. AND OUR MAIN JOBS HAVEN'T SUFFERED, in fact we've got better at them
That's enough about us....what about you? What's your priority? Time, Security, Freedom, To work for yourself, additional income?
Need more information?We don't bite, simply sharing the concept is our job not signing you up

Networking Tips For Business
As a member of Business 4 Breakfast in Rochdale for 4 years I have made plenty of great contacts and probably scared a good few off as well! By learning some amazing phrases I can now network without rejection or the FEAR of rejection.
Here is my learning point which I passed to my colleagues at Springhill Hospice this morning.
What do you think...........................?
The power of language in networking, and rejection free networking.
Todays learning point:
“Which means that…………..”
Qualify what you do by tagging this on to your introduction. So when someone asks what you do
“I work in vehicle leasing which means that I save businesses loads of time and money on their fleet"
A recap from last week:
Ever mentioned what you do for a living and people back-off, or tried to get your B4B buddy in with a contact and they think you take bribes for bolting on other people’s services “what else are you going to try and sell me!!”
Here’s a recap of the last 2 meetings:
When people moan and groan about something you instinctively want to help them out, why not try “would you like to do something about it?” if they say no then you should back off and assume they are just happy moaners. If they say YES – jackpot, they have asked for your help or for you to recommend your b4b contacts – or even your own services!
When you say “There’s an old story that says……” your contact will lean forward excitedly wanting to hear what comes next!
When you say “I just found out……….” The same will happen
So here goes:
Contact: “business is rubbish I have no customers, I hate my suppliers and the dog-eats my dinner
You “Would you like to do something about it?”
Contact: "well of course I do"
You: “Great I’ll pick you up at 6.30 on Thursday morning so you can meet loads of great new people to help your business”
OR
“I just found out about a way of meeting 20 or so director level people before your competitors are even out of bed”
“There’s an old story that says you are your most productive first thing in the morning”
Use these few words just a few times and it will all fall in to place, everyone you speak to will want to know who you know and how you know them. Pass this to your colleagues and your networking group and business will flourish.

Examples of current participants in the scheme can be seen here , the include Plymouth Argyle AFC, several supporters clubs including Rochdale FC Supporters Club and several Junior Development Programmes.
So how does it work?
The Company will set up a website in your name and offer a FREEPHONE number for your supporters to call and register with us for our services
The Company will pay you £5.00 for each new customer plus up to 5% of each customers monthly bill for as long as they remain a customer!
Before we get excited I want you to imagine your monthly cost for electricity, gas, telephony and broadband = say £150/month @5% = around £7.50/month.
What if, over time you gathered just 100 supporters who spend just £100 month.
This would give your sports club a much valued £5.00/month income PER CUSTOMER! Yes for each customer spending just £100 on using the kettle, toaster, shower a text message or telephone your club gets £5.00 per month per customer EVERY MONTH...............
So let's see how realistic this really is . What if just 10 members per month sign-up every month for 6 months.
Month 1 = £50 intro, whilst we wait for service to go 'live'
Month 2 = £50 +£50 residual income, as the first 10 go live
Month 3 £50 + £100
Month 4 = £50 +£150
Month 5 = £50 + £200
Month 6 = £50 + £250
Month 7 =£300/month on a continuous basis!
Could your club benefit from this? Can you imagine what this passive income can do to your club's finances? New equipment, coaching fees, or even better reduce your reliance on hand-outs from your members?
Click Here for a quick overview of what it's all about
But what's the catch?
There is none!
The only limit to the success is how well the programme is supported by your committee and members. I will personally mentor you to get the customers and help you grow your client base.
For more information call me on 07968 970704 and we can seriously discuss the prospect of your organisation covering vital costs whilst benefiting your supporters to lower household bills.
Now is that a win-win situation or WHAT...............?

The Attraction of Personal Leasing
LEASING companies cannot have failed to see a shift in the market place in personal leasing arrangements. A few years ago a definite increase in Employee Car Ownership Schemes was responsible.
This time it seems the car for the school-run, the car for doing the shopping, and the car for occasional business use are also being funded away from traditional outright purchase, bank loans or hire purchase agreements.
We’ve seen a distinct change in the market place. It’s no longer ex-company car drivers looking for a different way of going about their busy, high mileage jobs. Today’s customers are more regular consumers. They are moving from old cars to new. And tending towards lower mileage, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.
I think some of this new-found popularity is due to ‘pub-talk’ – not new products that push the popularity of various funding methods.
The attraction of a PCP or PCH
Friends or colleagues can easily explain the flexibility to buy the car at a price written in to the contract. Or, simply arrange for the car be picked up and taken away at the end of the contract. It seems to take people’s interest. This is a simple way of explaining the benefits of a Personal Contract Purchase (or PCP).
In the same vein, someone else may mention that they have found a deal which is the same price as that given to a large fleet. All they have to do is just add the VAT and include Road Fund Licence, delivery and a predicted mileage to get their monthly lease rental.
All that’s required is to insure the car and pay for fuel. After two or three years the car is returned and they will simply start again. That friend has just sold the concept of Personal Contract Hire (PCH) to everybody they know. This word of mouth is having a big impact in the market-place
The move away from car ownership
The public catch on to ideas through many outlets. And one common theme rang true during the onset of the economic downturn. Selling a used car was tough. It wasn’t worth what had been budgeted for; and often significantly less than any outstanding finance left on the vehicle. A lot of individuals got hit by the market last year and are continuing to do so.
To many, leasing on a personal basis was an alien concept. The general mood has always been to ‘own’ the car. Nowadays customers are more flexible. They are open to ideas and products which may protect them in the future and offer great value for money – whether they choose to own the vehicle or not.
So are you missing out? Is it time for you to consider leasing?
If so, do this: forget about interest rates, trade-ins and balloon payments. Instead, work out a monthly budget and see where that gets you. Let your business car leasing contact know what you can afford and see what you can get for your money – you might be surprised.
