Exclusive Credit Repair Leads

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:22:00 +0000

If you own or work for a credit repair business, or you are considering starting a credit repair business, you may have at one time or another considered purchasing exclusive credit repair leads.

For starters, the purchase of credit repair leads is a wise choice for your company because the people that fill out these on line forms for credit repair are serious about getting their credit fixed.

They are not simply surfing the net, looking for information or a free ride. The minute they filled out the form and hit submit, they committed themselves to seeking the help of credit repair professionals and are waiting on a phone call.

Exclusive credit repair leads can be purchased relatively cheap, so it may be in your best interest to buy them that way and eliminate any competition.

Of course before you go and commit yourself to purchasing exclusive credit repair leads, you will want to make sure that they are exactly that.

You certainly don’t want to be purchasing leads that are old or have been recycled.

So before you commit to a credit repair company, call and speak with someone in customer service. Find out how they obtain their leads and how they will be delivered to you.

If you cannot get a hold of anyone in customer service, or you are not satisfied with their answers, than move onto the next credit repair company.

Remember, you work hard for your money, so if you are not happy with the customer service or the answers that they give you, than you can count on not being happy with leads they send you.

Did You Remember To Ask?

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:19:18 +0000

Remember what it was like when you were a child and you wanted something? What did you do? I am willing to wager that you simply asked for it. In fact if you wanted something bad enough, I would bet that you asked and asked and asked. In fact you may have even claimed it when you were asking. If you have children now, I would like you to notice what they do when they want something. They ask for it. Often they even get what they ask for.

Why is it that as adults, we forget to ask for what we want or need? Is it that because when we were children, we asked and were told ” No you can’t have that?” Is it because we are simply afraid that we will be told NO?

Now I am going to really stretch out here, stay with me.

At networking meetings I used to host we were holding finalist drawings at each meeting for a trip to the Cayman Islands. There were a few people who were winning these drawings a lot. Why was that? Is it because they were asking for it, or was it because they were claiming it? The answer is both.

A during the length of the contest, I had a discussion with a few people about a phenomenon that I had experienced many times at meetings where they had a drawing for door prizes. Each time the prize was something that I really wanted, I would say out loud “that prize is mine.” I would literally claim the prize in spoken words while at the same time believing that I had already won and that I was holding the prize in my hands.

The results were startling. Nearly every time, I won. It was really incredible. In fact the people around me who heard me claim it would ask me how I did that. After it happened a few times, I started doing it more. It continued to happen.

At the contest progressed, I watched as one woman won the drawing at two meetings in a row. Each time, she claimed the win out loud and won. I saw someone else voice that they would probably win the drawing for one of my audio books, and their card came out of the fishbowl. If we can win drawings by speaking the words, by asking, by claiming them, then why do we not make a sale when we give our presentation? Is it because that we fail to claim the sale out loud? Is it simply because we fail to ask for the sale?

And what about other things in life. Relationships, goals, success, are these not things that we must claim to make them happen? Can we be with the partner of our dreams if we do not use our voice to tell them that we want to be with them? Of course not! Can we get help from someone that can help us if we do not ask for it? Of course not! People can not read our minds. But more than that there is an energy that comes form voicing what we want, from claiming the prize. It is an energy that is just as powerful when we use it for a positive outcome as when we use it for a negative outcome. If we voice a negative outcome, we will often receive it.

Have you ever experienced voicing a negative that came to pass? I bet if you think about it, you probably have. I hate to encourage people to appear to be talking to themselves, but I think that you could start using the power of your mind in combination with the power of the spoken word to start getting more of what you want. I know that it sounds strange, but what do you have to lose? Not a thing.

Can’t think of what to say right now? Try this. “Today I have what I need to succeed. I am successful.” Say it three or more times a day and see how your week develops. If we use the power of the spoken word in cooperation with the power of our mind, there is nothing we can not do. Let’s do it together.

By the way, on the day of the final drawing for the trip, the same woman who had claimed the win so many times in the finalist drawings, won the trip!

Be Famous. Host A Seminar!

destrian — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 09:38:10 +0000

Imagine hosting your own seminar. Whether you dream of hosting clients for the weekend, prospects for a few hours, or colleagues for a lunch-hour workshop, let’s make this year the year you realise that dream! Planning and hosting a seminar, workshop, or other event’s not nearly as hard as you might expect. And today I’d like to share with you the five secrets to a flawless event.

Decide on a format

Remember, your event doesn’t have to be in-person. You could conduct it virtually–over the telephone or Internet. You could offer webcasts and live

chats, an email list for lengthier discussions, or you could use an online meeting space.

Besides deciding whether your event will be in-person or virtual, you’ll also need to determine how long the event will last, what you’ll cover, and how you’ll cover it. Will you host guest speakers? Will you offer discussion panels? Or will the event be primarily lecture-based?

Go with your gut on these decisions. What makes the most sense for your audience? What format do you prefer? How can you best deliver your information?

Decide whom to invite

Will you advertise the event? Open it only to your select clients? Offer it to a targeted list of prospects?

It may seem strange to decide on your audience before narrowing down your topic, but by picking out your ideal audience first, you’ll be able to zero in precisely on their interests.

At this stage, also decide how many people you’re comfortable hosting. Are you picturing a small, intimate group of 20 people? Or do you see yourself speaking before hundreds?

Decide what topics to cover

Next, you’ll need to really get at the core of your topic. Sure, you’re going to focus on your expertise. But what, precisely, about your expertise will you devote the time to?

This decision has a lot to do with your goals. Do you want to convert prospects to clients? Dazzle your current clients? Build relationships with colleagues?

Obviously, you’ll want to choose your topic a bit differently for your prospects than you would for a group of clients. Each audience will have different concerns and slightly different interests.

Get the right support

There’s a ton of planning involved with creating a workshop or seminar. You’ll need to find the perfect venue (or technological support, if it’ll be virtual). You’ll need to find hotels for guests to stay at, arrange special rates, and plan special activities during down time.

You’ll want to accommodate special guests in a way that makes them feel truly appreciated. You’ll want someone creating a log of each activity, and perhaps recording and transcribing the event so you can offer copies to participants.

In short, you need a partner who shares your vision for your event. Someone to handle all the details while you’re raring off, full steam ahead, on the big picture elements.

You can easily hand off these details to a virtual assistant who’ll work in the background to ensure your entire event goes off without a hitch.

Close the feedback loop and do it again

You’re going to love holding your event. You’ll shine in the spotlight, your participants will have a delightful time, and you’ll all have an extraordinary experience.

Once the event’s over, make sure to ask participants for feedback. Ask them for what they loved, and what they didn’t. Find out how you can improve next year’s event.

And get ready for an even better event next year!

Your Expertise is Boring!

destrian — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:29:13 +0000

I see your lips moving, but all I hear is “Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” I know it’s not what you want to hear, but quite simply, if you are a speaker, author, consultant or other “expert” I see being interviewed by the news media, your expertise just isn’t very interesting. Information is a dime-a-dozen and yours is no different.

So in this age of round-the-clock, on-demand, blue tooth, on line, high def., Wi-Fi, via satellite, news junky, at your fingertips world of information, what separates those messages that break through the clutter and the vast majority of expertise that goes un-tapped? The answer is very simple: It’s the delivery!

Information, delivered by experts in a straightforward fashion, is too often reminiscent of a classroom lecture – Boring! However that same content, deliver with passion, purpose, urgency, spirit and conviction can move people to action and move you to the top of the news media’s first call list.

The information stored in your brain is merely the entry fee. Your credentials to deliver that content is only the prerequisite. But your crusade is what truly makes you interesting. Your passion for the message is what makes you believable and its timely connection to some current or personal challenge is what makes it relevant.

Watch any national morning show, or cable news talk show and note who has the lion’s share of camera time. In television news, the one who most deftly steers the conversation, wins. But all too often, experts who are invited to sit on the television set to comment on a story of national interest, merely answer the questions posed to them and provide informed analysis. They are graciously thanked for their time, but rarely asked back. Why? Because most media opportunities are a test in disguise. And most experts unknowingly fail the test.

But think for a moment about the experts that have been featured time and time again in the national news – some even being rewarded with their own show. What is the common denominator? Above all else, it is that they are fiercely opinionated. They know what they want to say and aren’t afraid to say it. I’m not suggesting that you have to be a jerk to be newsworthy, only that you have to have the conviction that personifies a true thought leader.

Good radio talk show hosts, for example, don’t bring up a topic and ask for your opinions. Instead they tell you what they think and invite you to agree or disagree. Who among us is inspired to follow, or be moved to action by a credible, yet straightforward, or “dry” expert offering his or her expertise on a story of national or industry-specific interest?

To build your business, to attract clients or customer, to inspire others to hire you or buy your books or products, to engender loyalty and inspire true change, you must move beyond the realm of simply being smart and good at what you do. You must truly inspire.

And while we are all made up of the same composite materials, we are all wired a little differently. Being overly expressive and delivering content on the edge of your seat can be challenging for some, but it must be done. In working with the news media, we are playing in their sandbox and we must play by their rules, or we won’t be asked to play again.

For any kind of high-profile sustainability, you’ve got to provide what television journalists call “Good TV.” New, innovative, or provocative solutions to long-standing problems can be good TV. Either healthy exchanges or outright conflict among guests can both be good TV. Good TV means nothing more than being interesting and not blending in. Unfortunately, experts tend to be so immersed in their content that they believe it is the information that is interesting. In reality, it is the passion that brings about “Good TV.”

The biggest misperception in working with the press is the false notion that when a reporter asks a question, it’s because they want to know the answer. Unless it’s some sort of news investigation, the purpose of their questions is in most cases, simply to give you a launch pad for your ideas, your input and perspective. I’m not suggesting that you don’t answer the question, just use the answer as the springboard for your crusade.

Most reporters don’t know the subject nearly as well as the guest and you can easily move past the often irrelevant, or less important question by simply employing transitional phrases such as: “While I certainly agree, it’s also important to remember that…,” “That may be true, but the issue that really concerns me is…,” “While that issue is making headlines, we can’t forget that…,” “people sometimes fail to recognize that…,” “I find it fascinating that…” Then say what you came there to say, and do it with passion – regardless of the questions asked. Despite conventional wisdom, the reporter or interviewer will be very appreciative of your media savvy.

As most on-air interviews last no more than 90 seconds, I advised my clients to be crystal clear in their mind what they want to say, what they HAVE to say, what is crucial for them to impart to their audience for them to be successful in their business. Then they must make a solemn pledge to themselves (and to me) that they will not get out of that chair until they say it!

It’s the quid pro quo of working with the press: We help them fill up their newspapers and newscasts with content, and in return, we get a platform to relay our ideas. Use it. Don’t waste it. Don’t be boring. Be opinionated. Be passionate, relevant, provocative, believable, timely, different, memorable and news-worthy.

This article is more than just my opinion and my expertise – it is my crusade. If I had begun this article with a simple admonition to be more animated in your interviews, do you think you’d still be reading? Or would you have turned the page long ago? Remember, there are hundreds of millions of TV remote controls and page-turning fingers out there. Don’t be boring and they’ll likely stick with you, turn to you and hopefully come back to you.

The Art of Giving Business Cards

destrian — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 09:23:40 +0000

Giving business cards is an art, not only because they are needed to be considered successful or because, in fact, they represent your corporate or professional identity, but also as an opportunity to impact your existing or prospective customers, and stay in touch with them, helping you to deal confidently.

The scope of business etiquette includes considerations that many professional ignore, or simply do not pay enough attention in the belief that a business card is just a small paper rectangle with a name and phone numbers to introduce yourself.

Color business cards demonstrate that there is something else beyond a simple paper cut; otherwise, they simply would not exist. Certainly, all over the world business cards are used to provide information about a company and/or the employee or professional who holds it, as well as contact information and other details such as business acquaintances or personal details.

Some of them include expressly empty spaces to write certain details such as an appointment date, some others are as simple as blank cards that come in handy when the holder has to leave a customer further details. However, those in color are undoubtedly part of a practical business strategy following refined business etiquette.

In business, time is gold and every minute is important because more often an individual only has a few minutes to impress a prospective client, before someone else does it first. Gentle manners can conquer, but accompanied with poor business cards, it is more likely the client will forget about you as soon as you live. Unprofessional business cards will not impress but will leave your prospective client with negative thoughts about your company.

On the other hand, color business cards are as attractive that catch the eye of even the most skeptical business contact. There is nothing more accurate that “a picture is worth a thousand words” when it comes to describing the first impression left on a person who receives a business card especially crafted to achieve a predefined business goal.

Color business cards and regular business cards should meet the criteria of being printed in very high quality paper, designed by professionals and never using public domain graphics or other elements that makes them look cheap. Make sure to include all personal information to your business acquaintances, and always carry enough of them with you, particularly when you are planning to attend a business meeting or social event.

The art of business cards is not only in giving them away, but also exchanging and receiving. Every time you attend an event where other professionals participate, try to exchange business cards with them, particularly color business cards to better impress, and when you receive a business card, study its design and content because you can learn from them.

Finally, always keep in mind that business cards are the branding tool of your company, not just a piece of paper to stay in touch with someone else.

A Day in the Life of the Reverse Funnel System

destrian — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 09:17:17 +0000

BEEP! BEEP! Keep it moving, non stop ever flowing traffic. For the first time in my life I feel blessed to be caught in a traffic jam. But the highway has thousands of lanes and the traffic will never be jammed, until arthritis sets in and your crippled fingers can no longer scour the web finding new ways to drive traffic to your site.

A day in the life of the Reverse Funnel could mean ten thousand dollars in your added into your fat pockets. A day in the life of the Reverse Funnel system could mean a sore back from being slumped looking over your computer, a slight head ache and a loss of focus in the eyes that comes after several hours of staring at a computer monitor, all the while with nothing to show for your miseries.

A day in the life of the Reverse funnel System is dependant on how well you know how to navigate the internet, how connected your team is and how close you are. A team that completely shares all their secrets so everybody can be successful will make you more successful.

A day in the life of the Reverse funnel System is what you may need for your self, for your family, for your freedom right now. The prospects of this system are remarkable. I am making lots and I mean lots of money, 20K in my first month involved in the Reverse Funnel System. Franco, my up-line made over 50K this month, his second month in the Reverse Funnel System. Of course his $1,000 commission off each of my sales helped him out a bit.

But that’s how it works. You work and you get hard workers to work underneath you. Working for GRN (Global Resorts Network) you and your uplink get a $1,000 commission. So when you become the up line your worker’s and you get $1,000 commission. That’s a thousand dollars free for you as long as you teach the people under you our valuable marketing skills.

So get that traffic moving and experience a day in the life of the Reverse Funnel System.

Become The Go – To Expert In Your Industry

destrian — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 09:10:05 +0000

One of the easiest ways to drive prospective clients and customers to your business is to become the expert in your field. The term Expert carries credibility and prestige that can open many doors for you, and, oddly enough, the term is relatively easy to acquire. This simple three step process can help you quickly and easily set yourself up as the expert in your field.

Step 1: Determine Your Niche

Instead of trying to be everything to everybody, narrow down your focus to the things that you are really, really good at. A friend of mine set himself up as an expert at leadership training for water treatment facilities. When he told me what he was doing, I asked, “Is there any money in that?” He smiled and said, “Every city’s got one, and I’m the only leadership expert in this field in the country.” He was frequently quoted in trade journals and asked to speak at their conventions. Find your niche, and you’ll eliminate your competition.

Step 2: Write about Your Area of Expertise

After you determine your niche, begin to write articles about your area of expertise. Every single day, tens of thousands of editors, web masters, and newsletter publishers are looking doggedly for unique and information-packed articles. If you can write articles that teach readers about your industry, you will find numerous places that will quickly publish your article.

I spent ten years as a trainer before someone, out of desperation, asked me to write an article for her trade journal. A few months later, another editor saw the article and asked if she could reprint it. Before long, I began to get inquiries from companies in that industry, and a snowball effect began to occur. The more business I did in the industry, the more of an expert I became. I followed with other articles, and within a short period of time, I became a recognized expert in an industry that I had never received any formal education in.

Write a few articles, and you can become a recognized expert in any field.

Step 3: Speak as Often as You Can

When your articles begin to get published, you’ll start to receive requests to speak more often.

95% of the population has some type of nervousness about public speaking. So when you stand up and say what you want to say, the way you want to say it, you are doing what 95% of the population wish they could do. When you speak about your industry, you set yourself up as the expert on that topic. You gain instant credibility.

If you get nervous when you speak in front of a group, attend a public speaking class. It will be the best investment of your life, because the more confident you present your ideas, the more competent you will appear in front of a group.

Follow these three simple steps and you will become the recognized expert in your specific niche.

Building A Home Internet Business

destrian — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 09:59:08 +0000

The first step in building a home Internet business is to find out what it is you want to sell. There are numerous options and countless moneymaking schemes and scams that we are bombarded by everyday. Be careful to do enough research on the pros and cons of each option, and then decide which is best for you.

The next step in starting your Internet business is to make sure that your idea or connection is legal. Consult an attorney for the FTC regulations for online business, and get the advice of an accountant regarding tax obligations and learn how to keep books.

Having an impressive website presence is the cornerstone of your online business. Get a domain name that is easy for customers to remember, reflective of your line of business and can be easily picked up by search engines. Though the web address given by your Internet provider can be used, there’s the danger of losing your domain should your service provider go out of business. Make sure to register the domain name though it might cost a little.

Choose a web hosting company that is reliable and offers a wide range of packages depending on the needs of a growing business. Choose a package depending on its bandwidth, disk space, e-mail facility, downtime, customer support, back up facility and any other additional facilities your business might need. There are many free hosting service providers, but resist the temptation and pay for your service. Free hosting does not give you control over your site nor does it give a professional look to the site.

Web design is crucial, so if you have any budget at all, hire someone to design it. It’s worth the money to have a clean, creative design that will identify your site and your product. It should be easy to upload and navigate and should appeal to your target audience.

You officially start business by launching the site but that’s not enough. Promoting and improvising the site through constant updating is what makes you different from a million others. Put together a systematic plan that works for you.

Success Factors

destrian — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 09:52:05 +0000

What is the difference between successful people on non-successful people? Are successful people more intelligent or do they just have better opportunities than non-successful people?

I heard Brian Tracy say, “Only Difference between successful people and non successful people is this: “Everybody thinks about what they want, but successful people think about what they want, and HOW to get it!”

The most important things is the HOW.

The only way I ever accomplish anything is to figure out what it is I want, then how I am going to get it. Ever since wrestling, my life has been driven by goals and what I want in life, the only way I ever achieve anything is by laying out a plan and working on that plan until I accomplish it.

Another way to look at it is to start backwards, think of the house you want to live in, the cars you want to drive, the lifestyle you want your family to live. You have to lay out a game plan to get their, it is not going to miracously show up on your door step someday. This means each day of your life you need to be doing at least one thing that will help you accomplish that goal.

I love how Robert Kiyosaki explains this concept in his book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”:

“Because I had two influential fathers, I learned from both of them. I had to think about each dad’s advice, and in doing so, I gained valuable insight into the power and effect of one’s thoughts on one’s life. For example, one dad had a habit of saying, “I can’t afford it.” The other dad forbade those words to be used. He insisted I say, “How can I afford it?”

One is a statement, and the other is a question. One lets you off the hook, and the other forces you to think. My soon-to-be-rich dad would explain that by automatically saying the words “I can’t afford it,” your brain stops working. By asking the question “How can I afford it?” your brain is put to work. He did not mean buy everything you wanted. He was fanatical about exercising your mind, the most powerful computer in the world. “My brain gets stronger every day because I exercise it. The stronger it gets, the more money I can make.” He believed that automatically saying “I can’t afford it” was a sign of mental laziness.”

So remember, the question isn’t what you want… It’s HOW are you going to get it?
