Growing Pains Ahead For Spring of 2011 & Another Blitz Tour
Not sure where to start on this blog post. I know that there are some amazing times ahead for my business and it will surely take another leap as Market America's World Conference approaches on the first week of February. The news about the acquisition of Shop.com that got MA tons of press will be given greater detail at the event with appearances by their people to speak about the integration of both companies and how it benefits each UnFranchise Owner or Distributor.
I'm know there a lot of fantastic surprises in store for conference attendees too, as always, and I'm looking forward to everything, especially any new Motives products and Loren's new Fixx line which is for trouble-shooting beauty concerns. Hope there are some hair care products in there? Ken Paves is scheduled to come. Can it get any better??!! I bet a bunch of celebrities will be there to help celebrate too and I heard that Alicia Keys is booked to play for the crowd and the agenda just went online the other day.
It's definitely time for everyone associated with the company to be prepared for an onslaught of more press and people wanting to join up with Market America. For so long there's been a question about what MA actually is, even after 71 consecutive quarters of growth! I've heard it so many times before and almost always have to explain what I do. MA's still an up and coming brand that's finally making news and continually evolving which is something the futurist and multi-tasker in me just loves!
For a while I've been considering letting the blog go and focus solely on social technologies and just sorting business leads one on one but I find this more like a diary that makes me think of how I position myself for growth. In the process, I'm realizing how challenging it is to have social media exit strategy but still kinda wish I could make it private again but then I end up sharing it and love it when people do their research on MA or Motives and click through dozens of my posts. hehe
I am building a new team of entrepreneurs that want to promote and utilize the business to develop a significant secondary, or primary, income and it's webportal. Its so innovative and powerful yet I find it so utterly disappointing that my team mates just do absolutely nothing with this cutting edge technology. I'm proud to be a MA distributor, are they ashamed? WTH! Any business developer would truly appreciate the investment we have before us but then even they have misconceptions about what MA is all about. Ugh. (Go to an event or training and get informed!)
If you are looking to get sponsored into MA and want to join my team, send me your info but only if you are willing to get trained, this is a self empowerment business and I can't do it for you. Just like any other self-employed business, it's up to the owner to learn it, promote it and work it. I can help, support, mentor, coach and all that, but MA has trainings, audios, events and webinars for a reason....for you to run your own business! Thank goodness for the systemized marketing plan and tools. I'm so done with un-coachable or un-willing people that say they want it and don't even take the two most fundamental corporate required trainings.
Some people spend thousands on a makeup class, or better yet, a web marketing seminar, fly out to somewhere like Vegas and come home with a CD or workbook of tips they never put to use, don't let that happen to your attempt to work MA or any business. It really doesn't require that much but you've gotta be sincere about trying, act like a professional, and know it does require some start up capital and more importantly effort to find a few customers and two business partners to grow your sales organization, it's the 2-3 yr plan, not the overnight or end of the month plan. Sorry for venting, but maybe I'm just burned out.
After the technical merger of Shop.com and MarketAmerica.com there'll be an updated definition for the field to share but it still is essentially the same "built on product. powered by people" company, we sell product and the business to a select group of consumers and entrepreneurs. The face of the website will surely change and we'll be renamed as Shop Consultants but the marketing plan is the same.
I'm also really looking forward to JR doing the Blitz Tour again this March 2011!! It was so awesome last year yet I'm sure that the highly publicized acquisition and merger will turn many more heads and put him out there just in time for new prospects to hear "What MA is" straight from him! This time the venue is larger, it's going to be hosted at the old Westbury Music Fair that's now called the NYCB Theatre at Westbury, that's my bank. hehe It's got a round centerstage for performances that will be great for JR! Gotta get my order in for tickets ASAP before they're gone!! (Contact me for your ticket to the best web based opportunity in the country)
