Donald Trump Network Marketing

November 12, 2017

Trump Network Review

When I first heard Donald Trump was starting a multi-level marketing company I thought, here we go again, Donald Trump is going to prey on a bunch of simple, naive people who will buy into all the hype and probably end up getting burned. We all know Mr. Trump likes to make money, money, money, money! So, Im thinking, what is his plan with this Trump Network launch? He must be just promoting this company, or letting them use the rights to his name for a certain period of time for a big pay check, or some type of royalties. Is he really entering the MLM world??

The answer is an astounding YES. Anybody that has read all of Donald Trump’s array of books or been to an event where he was a guest speaker, then you would probably know that he has always been a big admirer of network marketing. He was actually giving a speech 5 years ago and someone in the crowd asked him what he would do if he had to start all over, and he said I would get into network marketing. Of course that brought a few chuckles from the crowd. Then do you know what he said? A few of you might be laughing, but you know what? Thats why youre down there and Im up here! True story.

Donald Trump has never been politically correct, and he has also never been someone who gets to the show late. He has made many risky moves over the years that has had people cringing down at him thinking he was crazy. But in the end most of his moves have ended up making him look like a genius. He has literally helped transcend areas of New York City with some of his risky real estate moves, arguably the most powerful city in the world.

After hearing about Mr. Trump entering the MLM industry I did a little research and found out that the Direct Selling industry is a $32 Billion industry in the U.S., over $100 Billion worldwide, and not ONE company has more than 5% market share!! Not even Amway! What does this mean? This means that there is a serious opportunity for a company to come in and take over a large portion of the market. In almost every industry there is usually a few major players who dominate the market and build barriers to entry for its competition. Theres Ford, GM, and Chrysler. Theres Nike, Adidas. Theres General Mills, theres Proctor and Gamble, theres Microsoft, Dell, Apple. I could go on and on

The one thing there has never been in the network marketing world has been a brand name. Anyone that understands true marketing understands that branding is EVERYTHING. Once you build an influential brand, bringing new products to market is a completely different game than it is for the company that does not have that brand presence. That other company must spend MUCH MORE money and time promoting their new product or service in order to have a successful launch.

I dont think anyone in the world could mobilize the network marketing industry, give it the credibility and the exposure that Donald Trump could. The MLM industry is a very competitive industry and that is the main reason why there is so much bad press out there, but when you look closely at it, all the companies in MLM have different products or services, but they all have ONE thing in common: they are promoting an opportunity to earn an income building an organization of people selling that companys particular product or service. So who better than Donald Trump to be marketing a new business opportunity that anyone can get involved in and have unlimited earning potential? When you really think about it MLM companies are selling the ability to become an entrepreneur and own your own business. And Donald Trump is a worldwide icon of Capitalism and the poster child of an Entrepreneur.

I know that Donald Trump is VERY protective of his brand so I would be willing to bet that he did some serious investigation before taking the leap into the MLM world and putting that brand at risk. According to some executives over at the Trump Network, Mr. Trump and his team looked closely at 26 companies before they chose to partner with Ideal Health and re-launch as the Trump Network. Ideal Health is a twelve year old company that specialized in one main product line for ten years: customized nutracueticals based on metabolic functional testing. They use the premier metabolic functional testing lab in the world, Metametrix Labs, based in Atlanta, GA. Yes, they are another health and wellness company, BUT they have a unique line of products that are actually priced much lower than you would be able to get them through a natural path doctor or nutritional specialist. The master plan is to launch many best of breed products over the next few years that fall into the Trump criteria of quality.

The most compelling reason however, that I believe the Trump Network will end up taking up some significant market share is because of this new Wealth Creation System they are launching in the middle of May, 2010. They have created a system that I believe will transform the network marketing industry forever. This will not be an industry where the only people that can be successful are people with a huge power of influence and/or a huge database of people to tap into. The most difficult part about this business has always been getting enough people exposed to your opportunity, and being able to invite those people to take a proper look at the business so they can make a sound decision.

Donald Trump and the Trump Network have created a system called The Wealth Creation System that will give the average person, who may not have a huge network of people to talk to about the business, the ability to get massive exposure and funnel those exposures into a professional sales funnel that gives professional presentations and plugs new marketers and customers into a training and education platform seamlessly.

The reason I know this system will work and will explode peoples’ businesses is because of one thing and one thing only: The Trump Brand. Because of this new system, getting enrolled in the Trump Network will be more like buying into a franchise, instead of rolling the dice and spending your time and energy in a typical network marketing company with no brand recognition. I own multiple franchise locations with two separate successful franchises myself, and the reason we were able to be profitable right out of the gate was because we had a strong local brand already established, so when we opened our doors people recognized our name and came in. But more importantly, when we send out direct mail pieces and do radio and TV campaigns, our potential customers open the mail, or listen to our ads, because they know who we are. This is why several mom and pops have closed their doors around me over the past 6 years. They cannot compete.

Most people that are involved in the network marketing or direct sales industry do not understand the power of branding and marketing. Even if they have been successful and have huge organizations they have built these organizations with serious dedication, hard work, and a lot of time. The reasons I have outlined above are why this company will dominate the MLM world and become a powerhouse people will build organizations in one to two years that took several years to build in other MLMs. Do you realize how much time and money has been spent on opening up different countries as these other network marketing companies have gone international? MASSIVE AMOUNTS. As the Trump Network expands into other countries, the marketing strategies will be so simple compared to other MLMs it is almost laughable. Trump is heavily branded in 18 countries and he is revered as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time. When this company goes international toward the end of this year GAME OVER. I just hope all the people out there who are smart and savvy, but might not quite yet understand the power of branding and marketing, dont miss out.

How to apply Marketing items to market

November 5, 2017

The survival of a sector in this tough economy depends on a variety of factors. One thing that can have a major impact on a corporation is the use of promotional merchandise to market their products. We’ll cover some important reasons for utilizing promo tools to market.

Benefits of Promotional

Items Using promotional devices to promote one’s venture has many advantages. A enterprise will reach a much larger audience if they make good use of advertising objects. Every single member of this audience is a potential customer. Marketing objects can be given out at small business functions, to existing customers, at trade shows, and much more. This gets the word about the business to a variety of people in different areas, resulting in a growing customer base for the firm.

Brand Exposure

Competing for a customer’s small business in a suffering economy is no easy task. A enterprise must make use of every means available to make its name stand out above those of competing companies. Promotional tools are an excellent way to accomplish this goal.

Unlike expensive forms of advertising, such as television commercials, marketing tools such as pens, key chains, and mugs hang around longer and reach more people. While television ads last only as long as businesses and organizations can afford pricey campaigns, key chains and mugs last for years and are seen by hundreds of people repeatedly, making them a very cost effective advertising choice. Each time the name of a enterprise is seen on advertising products, it helps etch it in the minds of potential customers. This causes them to be more likely to think of that corporate the next time they experience a need for a particular type of service.

Functional & Free

Another added benefit to advertising gadgets is their functionality. Commonly applied promo tools include pens, pencils, mugs, calendars, and key chains. These are all devices that people make use of every day. Potential potential buyers appreciate being given advertising solutions that they have a genuine need for.

The word “free” is probably one of the most attention grabbing words that a organization can make use of to attract customers.

Internet Marketing Negative Effects Of Not Managing Time

October 31, 2017

To become a successful internet marketer you will need to develop certain skills that are key to that success. One of the key skills that you will need to learn and use is time management. Managing your time the right way is a very important aspect of running a healthy online business. The truth of the matter is, if you are not managing your time correctly your internet business may encounter negative effects. In this article you will get to see what some of he negative effects are.

Falling behind in your work. Because there are so many different tasks and operations that have to be done to run a successful internet marketing campaign, from setting up your salespage, to driving targeted traffic to that site and much more. Without the proper management of your time it is easy for any individual to fall behind.

Loss of organization. Poor time manage management can often lead one into major organization problems, Being unorganized can cause you to lose track of what is that you should be doing at a particular time, or place, also loss of valuable and important information pertaining to your business. Wasting valuable time because you have to figure out what you did or didn’t do. Where you left off or where to start. This can be avoided by having a simple daily list of thing you want to do, this is a way to begin to keep track of what you have done and what you need to do.

Becoming overwhelmed. Another negative effect of not managing your time is the ability to become overwhelmed with the many tasks that must be done to operate your internet business. Operating a successful online business has many aspects and can take a lot of time. If you end up spending to much of that time on only one aspect of your business… say, your website graphics, or getting it perfect in your eyes, then you may run into the problem of neglecting other necessary task involved with your businesses success, like getting targeted traffic to that website, or optimizing that website to ensure top page rankings in the search engines. This approach can lead to you finding yourself overwhelmed with a lot of task not implemented or finished.

Playing the catch up game. Now that you have fallen behind, no organization, and having become overwhelmed, you can find yourself in the awkward position of attempting to play the “catch up game”, trying hard to get yourself back in a position where you are in control of what your next task will be, also when and how it will be completed. Playing this catch up game can move a individual to a point where they may even want to give up on their project. My advice to you is to take a little time to think it over, relax, and come up with a workable plan. Giving up will only lead to failure.

Loss of focus. Losing your focus and becoming vulnerable to distractions is another symptom of poor time management. Managing your time correctly should ensure that you have your workday scheduled out. Distractions are bound to pop up during the work day, how you handle them is what is crucial. Keeping focus on those tasks that you have scheduled out for your work day will help you resist the urges to fall prey to any distraction that may surface.

Because most internet marketers start their businesses from home it is easy for many distractions to pop up. I found it a very good idea to make sure that individuals in my life know when my work hours are and that during this time I do not want to be disturbed unless necessary. This works well because these are people pulling for your success also. Limit phone calls to business calls during your work hours. The important thing is you need to get the distraction time under control and to a minimum.

Loss of potential income. Now we come to the bottom line, that is that “time is money” especially when you are in your own internet marketing business. If you are wasting time and not getting the needed tasks done to promote your business the right way, you will not make money. Improper time management can lead to loss of income and eventual internet business failure.

I have made this list of negative effects to impress on the reader the importance of proper time management in their home online businesses. By incorporating a good work schedule for your daily work projects and task, you can avoid the negative effects mentioned above and help ensure a more positive result in your internet marketing efforts because of your time well spent.

Drop Cards – A Favored Offline Attraction Marketing Approach

October 24, 2017

Drop cards are by far one of my favorite offline attraction marketing methods. If you want to use attraction marketing strategies outside of the internet realm and do not have a big advertising budget, then you’ll love drop cards.

Drop cards can be utilized anywhere that you can set a piece of paper. The greatest thing about drop cards is that you are simply using attraction marketing where ever you go and do not have to bother with speaking to anyone who is not fully interested in what you are providing.

Drop cards are a folded up piece of paper that look like money when on the ground or dropped wherever. Just for a second, suppose if you were strolling in the airport and spoted some money folded in half and laying on the ground. Would you pick it up? Hell yes you would if nothing more than just the sheer curiosity to find out if it is real or not. Once a person picks up one of these drop cards they open it up and see that it is an advertisement for your business.

You can use any memorable phrases that you want such as “Best Home Based Business… Period” along with a website for them to visit. There are many different ways to use drop cards and I have my favorites. Here are some fascinating methods you can utilize drop cards in your offline marketing that I got straight from one of my partners who is know as the king of drop cards, Cedrick Harris. He has been using these drop cards for years and sponsors 1-2 new reps per week.

Below is a list of separate ways to make use of drop cards

#1 Gas Stations – This is my preferred since I have to gas up my vehicle to go places anyway. I’m already there so I pull up to the pump, stick my credit card in the slot to pay. Once I have payed and get under way to fill up my car, I take out a drop card and stick it in the credit card slot. Then I ensue to go to each pump and put one in each credit card slot. Now visualize about this for a minute . How many people do you know who actually goes inside to pay for their gas? Not too many. Because they are paying by credit card, they have to remove my drop card before they can put their card in to pay. Of course they will look at it because there is money hanging out. They might put it in their pocket and study at it later, or they could just drop it on the ground. If they drop it, it will still be collected up by somebody else.

#2 Bookstore and Libraries – This is a great place to specifically target entrepreneurs. I like to grab a handful of drop cards and go into a local bookstore such as Barnes & Noble. First, head over to the magazine section and put drop cards in every magazine that an entrepreneur might view such as “Success Magazine”. Then you can walk over to the book sections and put drop cards in any kind of book you can imagine of such as books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrent etc.

#3 Grocery Stores – Most grocery stores have a magazine isle as well. You can put drop cards in those and on your way out you can put them in Real Estate magazines, auto trader and wheel deals. People who are probing through these are going to be increasing their bills.

#4 Waiting Rooms – Whether you’re waiting for a hair cut or an session with the doc, there are magazines galore to study through while you wait. You can grab a bunch of magazines and pretend you cannot find anything good to read. Instead, your putting drop cards in each one.

#5 Restaurants – This is another one of those great opportunities I learned from the master himself Cedrick Harris. Once you finished eating your meal it’s time to pay the tab and give a tip. Now this only works if you tip well so don’t be cheap. You can do this a couple different ways depending on what you are comfortable with. You can just include a drop card with the tip and walk away. You can also write a quick note on a napkin or on the back of the receipt saying something like “Thank you for the great service you gave us. I decided to leave this for you in case you keep your options open.” And finally, you can really say directly to them, “Would you be interested in a side project if it did not interfere with your current job?” Of course they will say yes. Then you say, “Okay I’ll leave something special here for you to take a look at and see if it is a fit.”

#6 Newspaper Stands – You can go to a newspaper stand to buy your newspaper. Once you pull one out, keep it open and stuff drops cards in each one of them. You just did some highly cost-effective advertising.

#7 In Airports and Planes – Whenever you are heading to fly somewhere you can make use of drop cards the whole way. When you’re in the airport you can casually sit down and throw a drop cards on the ground and step on it quickly so no one sees you do it. Then get up and walk away without looking back. When you’re in the airplane you can put some in the sky mall magazine in each of the 3 seats in front of you. Individuals read through these all the time with the goal of finding something new they didn’t even know existed.

Drop cards are the easiest and most cost-effective way to implement attraction marketing offline. You can get creative and just have fun with it. The greatest thing is that you can simply blend it into your everyday routines without much extra time spent.

Now there are several different kinds of drop cards that are around. There are ones that somewhat resemble the real thing and then there are the ones that easily look like money. And I mean that if you saw a $100 bill folded in half next to a drop card fold in half… you couldn’t tell the separation, right down to the kind of paper.

So if you do not have a place to purchase drop cards, I advise getting the best available from from my man Cedrick Harris the Drop Card King. These are the $100 bill drop cards that actually look like the real thing. He has a really great deal going right now at The Drop Card King.
