Global Resorts Network Financing Coming Soon!

You Asked, We Listened!

We recognize that many Affiliates prefer to collect the full purchase price and receive their full commissions immediately.

However, enough affiliates have asked for some sort of financing that GRN is now introducing the following program.

New Finance Program!

GRN is currently doing the programming and software changes in order to roll out our new, exciting financing program.

No Interest - Everyone is Approved - Nobody is turned away!

A Platinum Membership will be available for a $998 down payment and monthly payments of $198 for 12 months (no interest).

The two $1000 commissions will be paid $300 at initial purchase (two commissions of $300 each out of the $998) and the balance in 12 equal monthly payments.

These $300 immediate commissions can generate significant incomes up front plus give you a handsome residual income over the following 12 months.

The new Customer or Affiliate will be a full Platinum Member with full travel privileges immediately.

We hope to introduce this program within the next 3 to 4 weeks – as soon as we can complete the necessary programming and software changes.

New Global Resorts Network Affiliate Site

I just signed up with the new GRN sales center. Check it out: http://YourVacationBusiness.tv

This group is perfect for TV ads featuring the global resorts network business opportunity. When users call in, they can join without paying the extra $997 for a full time sales staff. Why? Because the sales staff knows that most folks that initially choose to sell on their own call back and sign up with the sales center.

On top of that, if your prospects just want to purchase a membership for personal use, the sales center staff will help them out as well. Stay tuned!

Network Marketing Opportunity

http://YourVacationBusiness.com - Network marketing is a great idea IF the product you represent has a real value to the consumer. Find out how we're earning $1,000 commissions and residuals.

New Call Center!

It's true, there is a new GRN call center. Check it out: http://myglobalsales.com/. Pick up the phone and call these guys!

$997 is your one time cost, plus $49/mo., and they will handle all of your bizop customers from beginning to end, even walking them through the signup process.

This will probably be announced to all affiliates sometime this week. This is the perfect tool for massive media exposure for the bizop. Click on the banner below and use your creativity. The TV footage for your ad is already done at Spotrunner. You just need a 30 second voice script for it, and you could have a load of calls coming in regarding the Global Resorts Network bizop.

I've spoken with one of the new call center reps, and they don't have a plan worked out right now for retail only sales; they are making their money by selling their $997 membership plus the $49/mo. to track everything. They've only been open since Saturday, so everything is still new and they're very open to anything that works.

Click on the banner below for TV advertising info, and stay tuned!

Global Resorts Network Retail Website

Take a look at our new GRNSystem.com retail website! http://luxurytravel4life.com

This site belongs to Janice and Trent Wells, the dynamic affiliate duo from sunny California. Janice and Trent had a great time using their GRN membership in Lake Tahoe earlier this year. Check it out below, and then call them for the nitty gritty first hand details on how the membership actually works at 714-469-2610. And guess what? It really works!

Telephone Marketing for GRN Rocks!

As you all know, the corporate training calls are the place to get the best marketing advice. The latest advice is to use http://teleblaster.com to contact opportunity seekers. This system works fast! I was only able to call back 12 of the 75 responses I got (all within an hour or so) and they were all very nice. 11 said 'Yes, I will get on the next conference call' and only one said no.

So far only one of the 12 says 'Yes, I'm joining!' and she's bringing a friend in as well. I'll keep you posted.

When you place an order with Teleblaster you will also specify a date for your broadcast. Please please please!.... make sure you are available on that day to call all of the folks that are dumped into your voice mailbox. I made the mistake of not allowing enough time to get back to folks, which is why I've only called 12 so far.

The voice broadcast goes out at 5:30 or 6:30 p.m. Central, so that gives you enough time to call folks back and invite them to the conference call. You can also call folks back on weekday afternoons before our 2 p.m. EST conference call. Just make sure you are calling prospects back close to the conference call times. They are already excited about the opportunity mentioned in the Teleblaster campaign, and they need and want more info!

One more thing; here's the script I've developed and used with the 12 I've spoken to so far. Johnny Bolton has a longer script, but I'm experimenting with this shorter version, based on my past experience with voice broadcasting. Check it out:

------------

Hi, This is Antony Mosley calling for.... You responded to our voice broadcast earlier today regarding a home based business, is that right?

So how long have you been looking for a home based business?

Great. Well I'm only going to take two minutes of your time and at the end I will give you our website with our conference call schedule. Is that OK?

As the message said, we really want to help hard working folks earn four or five figures per week, and we do that by using the voice broadcasting system to introduce people to Global Resorts Network. Have you heard of Global Resorts Network? (Most of them have not, and that is really good!)

Well our parent company has been doing business since 1986, and they've recently launched an affiliate program that pays $500 and $1,000 commissions. I use their travel membership myself, so I can tell you from personal experience it is an exceptional deal.

Do you have time to get on our conference call this evening? (Most of them will say Yes, and they will actually get on the call)

Ok. Bookmark my website at www.YourVacationBusiness.com. Once you bookmark that, just follow steps 1 through 4 on the left side there, and feel free to call me after step 4, which is our conference call, if you have any questions. Otherwise, you can click Step 5 and get started this evening. Be sure to enter your contact info. so you can see how the website works as well.

So it was good speaking with you. That's the whole system; We do a voice broadcast, invite folks to the conference call, and you decide if you want to join.

More Than Words - Extreme

Time for a little music break!

Invest in your Health to Increase Productivity

By Kevin Reinert on 25 Jan 2008 at 03:03 pm

If you’re like most professional salespeople, you have more than enough on your plate to keep you busy. When you’re not prospecting, you should be selling, and when you’re not selling you ought to be prospecting. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?

However, I contend there’s an additional activity you can engage in that will do wonders for both your prospecting and selling activities – physical exercise! Professional selling is challenging, mentally and physically. Long workdays, difficult travel conditions, and the stress of trying to keep existing customers happy while continuing to build a bigger book of business can take their collective toll on your health. And because your work schedule is so full, it’s easy to justify not exercising on a regular basis.

Nevertheless, being physically fit will make you a better salesperson. How? Besides the opportunity to shed some extra pounds accumulated from those lunches with clients, exercise is a great stress reliever. It also helps you to sleep better, feel stronger, and build your endurance for the selling challenges that lie ahead. Just how much exercise do you need? That varies from person to person, but rule-of-thumb says at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week, at a minimum. However, if you’re not currently exercising on a regular basis, check with your doctor first before beginning any aerobic training program.

Remember, professional selling is a lot more than a 100-yard sprint; it’s more like a 26-mile marathon that requires a steady pace and the endurance to go the distance. Be sure to set aside time on your calendar for those regular workouts – treat them like important appointments – the kind you hate to break.

Sales Success through Self Branding

A number of the very successful sales reps whom I coach have a strategy for winning that is worth considering. They do what entertainers, sports figures, and politicians do--they brand themselves.

I do admit it is unusual for someone who sells for a company to establish and promote their personal brand identity. (Many senior executives do: Welch, Bossidy, Jobs, et. al.) However, for some sales pros I coach, having a personal brand identity has enabled them to continue exceeding quota even as some of their customers have tightened up their spending and their competitors are dropping like flies.

One winner has branded himself as a high-integrity problem solver. Among the tactics he employs to maintain his brand is this: At the end of the first meeting with an executive-level prospect, he leaves them with a high-quality folder of testimonials written by different people from a broad sampling of customers attesting to his integrity, ability to provide solutions for their business opportunities and challenges, and statements that he regularly puts their interests above his own. What does that do for him? It equates his name with credibility--that elusive product of integrity and competence. And it leaves an impression.

Company brand is not enough
There is another rep I know who also brands himself. His company has its own brand identity. They have a good product and a good reputation, but they have literally dozens of competitors. So this sales professional has figured out that his company and product can't do the whole job for him. For him to be successful he had to personally brand himself.

He sells to manufacturers within a geographic territory and let me tell you, he owns that territory. His name is known by at least one person in half the manufacturing companies in that area, and that's not by chance. While his company promotes themselves, he promotes himself.

Don't get me wrong, it's not done in a way that at all conflicts with the efforts of his company, in fact, it totally compliments it. He is known as the source of information, insight, experience and a broker of that information.

He doesn't nearly know the answers to all the questions that are posed to him, but he knows where to find them. He's branded himself as the GoTo person. He puts himself in the middle of the action and as a result, his customers and prospects go to him for answers, opinion, guidance and his products.

Here's what he does
His appetite for information is huge and his attention to detail even greater. He does all the Sales 101 stuff, like never forgetting a customer's birthday or congratulating them on good news. But he carries that practice much further. He tells me his customers feel he is ever-present.

The product he sells is secondary. Important, but not that important. He's not a product expert, but is an expert in how his company's product helps his customer's top and bottom lines. He can quote the numbers. Produce the ROIs. Need tech specs? He's got lots of people in his company who will jump at the chance to work with him. (He shares the credit. He leads. He wins. And people follow winners--winner is a powerful brand!)

A starting point
Before you go any further, you'll need to assemble the key components that will constitute your personal brand. Here are some questions:

• What are your key strengths that will be the foundation of your brand? Knowledge, a network, analytical capabilities, integrity, leadership qualities?
  
• Who is the target for your brand? What market segment(s) and what constituencies within those companies?
  
• What value will your potential customer see in your brand? If your customers aren't buying what you are selling, it's all a waste of time.
  
• What branding has your company done? Remember, you want to complement, not conflict with their brand.
  

A defining statement
You'll need a defining statement. It states what you do, your value and what makes you different.

Yours will likely not mention your company. Here is an example:
"I assist government IT managers in getting their software development projects completed on time and on budget."

And of course, you'll want to use that defining statement.

• In your email "signature" above your company name
• When someone asks you what you do or what role you play in your company
• When you introduce yourself in a selling situation. (Think about the difference between, "I'm Dave Stein with The Stein Advantage," and, "I'm Dave Stein. I coach companies to win in highly competitive sales environments.")
• In letters you write to customers and prospects.

Building your brand
Consider taking some or all of these actions to build and maintain your brand:

• Send your customers and prospects your own monthly e-mail update. Simple, short and laden with value. A few links to articles. Your brief analysis. Remember, it comes from you, not your company. And remember to put your defining statement in your signature.
• Don't miss an industry event or association meeting. That's where you get to promote your personal brand. And please, have a plan for "working the event."
• Attend security and industry analyst events as well if the industry into which you sell has them. That's where the CFOs and CEOs present and can be approached. Know who is going to present and when.
• Regularly invite two or three different customers to dinner. A mini-users group meeting. Not fancy, but potent. Be prepared with one or two relevant and hot issues promoting interaction.
• Occasionally get customers together who have the potential of doing business together. If a deal is struck, you can't be compensated, but you can reach new levels of customer loyalty.
• Have a customer version of your resume--a narrative bio. It shows the projects, companies and people with whom you were involved. It lists your educational background and the associations where you been a member and have served. Don't include what isn't relevant. Show the value you deliver. Highlight your brand. Powerful.
• When it's appropriate after a meeting, write your home phone number on your business card before handing it to an executive. You'll rarely get a call at home, but providing your number sends a strong message.

Branding and your career
One of the benefits of personal branding is that it comes with you if you change companies. If you brand yourself successfully, your competitors will know who you are. So will recruiters. So will potential customers in your geography and target market segment. I'm not suggesting that you brand yourself for the purpose of finding a better job, but it certainly makes things easier if that situation arises.

If you do build brand identity equating yourself with what is valuable to buyers in your marketplace, you'll build credibility, differentiate yourself and you'll sell a lot more.

New Global Resorts Network Lead Source

Priceless Possibilities has a new source for GRN leads. Click on grn leads and check it out. Send me an email and I will send you the super simple script that is responsible for growing our downlines like a weed! The script follows the simple logic of my previous post.

How to Succeed as a Global Resorts Network Affiliate

After one year in the business on a part time basis, I've come to realize that success with GRN comes down to these three simple steps. If you can get your prospects to follow these simple steps, then success is virtually guaranteed. When you call a lead from your website, or when you speak to prospects in person, all you need to do is....

1. Ask your prospect to read everything at our website, http://yourvacationbusiness.com/. It may seem shocking, but some people don't know that you can click on a link to get to another part of your website, so tell them to click around. Ask them to watch and listen to the videos and audios, and to do the same with the first email that the system sends out.
2. Invite your prospect to the next conference call as well as the the next webinar. Encourage them to participate in both by asking questions.
3. Ask them to join our team.

Repeat 1-3 with each new prospect. Retail customers do not need to attend the conference call. They only need the webinar unless they decide they'd like to become affiliates.

Let's rock!

Making Your Resource Box Work

I see many free reprint articles where the author is missing out on countless high quality visitors simply because their resource box at the end of the article is not constructed effectively. This article will give you three main check points to ensure your resource box is always working to its maximum efficiency.

1. Ask Them To Click.

Seems very simple doesn't it? But it really is that simple. Unless you ask the reader to click on the link you have presented to them, they often just won't.

Of course you don't need to use language as direct as 'Click here' as this can often put the reader on the defensive whereas you are looking for a cooperative mindset where they click through because they want to. You can do it in a very subtle way, while still guiding the reader into clicking the link.

In fact, you have to tell them exactly why they should click the link.

For example, I often use an arrow before the link ("=>"), and use phrases such as "For further information, go to ...", or "Find out why ... at ...".

To illustrate the point, the following resource box offers no incentive whatsoever for the reader to click the link:

"Steve Shaw develops systems and software to help you succeed in your online business. [link here]"

By editing it in a simple way you can significantly increase the number of click-throughs:

"Steve Shaw develops systems and software to help you succeed in your online business. Find out more about how to publish articles for profit online with his popular free ecourse, available at: =>
[link here]"

You can see immediately that you would be far more likely to click the link in the second version of the resource box. Why?

- You can find out more about a topic you are interested in. - It's 'popular', which plays on the herd instinct. - It's free - you are not expected to commit to or pay anything.

So, three reasons why you would be more likely to click through on the link.

2. Relate it to the article.

I see many resource boxes that bear little relation to the content of the article, and unfortunately for the author, they are not going to maximize their results from the time they spent writing the article.

The content of the article is what attracts readers to it, i.e. you have a targeted readership based on it's content. The resource box should then play to this interest in order to encourage them to click through on the link. Otherwise, you lose the interest of the readership - they may have enjoyed your article, but you get nothing back in return.

This means in turn that the content of your article should relate to the content of the web site that you want to link to in the resource box.

As a simple example, if you write an article on fishing, the readers of the article will quite obviously be highly targeted for fishing. If your resource box then asks you to click through to a site about stamp collecting, you're playing on a chance that those interested in fishing will also be interested in stamp collecting, and you can bet it will be a very small minority.

You needed to write about stamp collecting in the first place so that the resource box was relevant.

You also need to relate the resource box directly to the content of the article, so that clicking through is a natural follow on to the content of the article. So use phrases such as "For more information", "To find out more", and so on.

3. Use A Single Link.

Too many authors use more than one link in the resource box, and this simply dilutes the effectiveness of having a single link. You don't have the space in a resource box to provide encouragement to the reader to click through on more than one link, and by providing more than one you can simply confuse the reader, i.e. there is no natural follow-on link to click after reading the article, so they will often not click at all and go elsewhere.

Many authors simply list two or three links in the resource box, which I consider a fairly pointless exercise.

Instead, stick to one, and focus all your efforts towards encouraging the reader to click this link. For maximum effectiveness, avoid hyped up or promotional language; just offer them further information that will be of interest to them.

Of course you can see below my own example of a resource box that utilizes all three points above. And by asking visitors to sign up to an email list, I don't just get a single click-through and then lose the visitor for ever, but build up the repeat visitors that are the life blood of any business.

Joe Gibbs Resigns as Coach of Washington Redskins

WASHINGTON - Joe Gibbs has resigned as coach and president of the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins said in a statement that Gibbs will remain part of the Redskins family and serve as a special adviser to owner Dan Snyder. Gibbs will discuss his decision at a 3 p.m. ET news conference at Redskins Park.

The Redskins will begin a search for a new coach immediately. Among the certain candidates are two former head coaches on Gibbs' staff, Gregg Williams and Al Saunders.

Gibbs went 31-36, including 1-2 in the playoffs, after emerging from NFL retirement and his NASCAR career to sign a five-year, US$27.5-million contract in 2004.

He had always maintained that he intended to fulfill the contract, but the 67-year-old coach wavered from that stance Monday when asked if he would return for the final year of his deal.
Gibbs' resignation brings an apparent end to a Hall of Fame career in which he twice raised the Redskins from mediocrity into a playoff team, although he failed in his goal of bringing the team back to the Super Bowl during his second stint in Washington. Gibbs won three NFL titles during his first tenure from 1981-92; the second time around he took the team to the postseason in two of his four seasons.

Gibbs' resignation comes after one of the best coaching performances of his career, his leadership helping the Redskins focus after the death of safety Sean Taylor on Nov. 27. Washington won its final four regular season games after Taylor's funeral, going from 5-7 to 9-7 to claim the final playoff berth in the NFC.

The emotional run ended Saturday, when the Redskins lost 35-14 at Seattle in the wild-card playoffs.

"It was the toughest (season) for me," Gibbs said Monday. "When you go through a season like that, for a while it's kind of hard to re-grasp reality."

Thanks for the good times, Joe! If you're going to the Super Bowl in Phoenix, use your GRN membership to book a really nice resort. My personal favorite is the Legacy Golf Resort in Phoenix. As a GRN member, you will only pay $298 to $799 for the entire week. Yes!! Just say NO to the overpriced Super Bowl hotel and resort rush.
