4 “Gooroos” Lock Themselves in a Room

September 1, 2010 By Raymond 2 Comments

Ya know… I’ve never liked being labeled as a “guru”.

mlm guru

To me it’s so cocky, so “I am holier than thou“, so full of it… and so me. :)

No, just kidding.

I always think that it almost discredits the effort we had to take to get to where we are – it’s like, “oh they are gurus, they were born with silver spoons in their mouths, traffic in their pockets, and loyal fans lining out the door for them“. It doesn’t tell the story of how we started out just like everyone else, struggling, being frustrated, investing and LOSING money, burning the midnight oil, banging our heads against the walls…

Oh the stories I can tell you.

See, we are just like you and everyone else in the industry. It just so happens that we’ve journeyed a bit longer than you have and have achieved various level of success that await you – should you have the courage and the tenacity to reach them.

So how about instead of gurus, let’s just say “4 Guys Who Happen to Know What They are Doing When It Comes to Driving Traffic, Converting Leads, and Making Money (Who Also Happen to be REALLY REALLY Good Looking) Lock Themselves in a Room“? :)

For What?

We’ve committed to building out sales funnels and develop marketing plans for our Numis Network team so that we can unleash a sick amount of traffic from all sorts of sources and let our funnels/systems convert prospects like crazy, all the while just kicking it sipping margaritas (for Fernando), fuzzy navel (for David), orange juice (for Jim), and pounding whiskey (that’d be me).

Oh, and I forgot to mention, we’ll be working on these funnels in a way such that our entire team can plug themselves into it and leverage all that work. They’ll have to do some work and learn a thing or two about marketing but that’d be a cakewalk compared to doing it on their own… or compared to doing it the *gasp* traditional way of cold calling, pestering friends and family, and doing the dreaded “3 foot rule”.

Anyway, all of that is happening this Friday, starting at 9 friggin’ AM. Sweet jeevus this means I’ll have to wake up early just to walk Bubba!

After that, we are looking for a nice explosion to our Numis team. So if you are LOOKING for a team to join and WAITING for the perfect timing… honestly, I can’t think of a better team than ours and a better time than now. That is, assuming you WANT to build your Numis business online using a pretty much automated system…

So go ahead and click on the link below to reserve your spot. At the VERY least reserve your spot at the silly $75 mark if you can’t afford the $495. Sure, at the $75 spot you miss out on the “coded matching bonus” but you’ll still be able to take advantage of the binary payout plan.

And since this IS a binary system… well, you know the drill, the earlier you get in, the more you’ll benefit from us throwing people into your team

Open Letter of Apology

August 4, 2010 By Raymond 5 Comments

This is for all you reformed MLMers who now see the possibility and the beauty of building your network marketing business ONLINE – attracting folks who are actively LOOKING for you and your business opportunity – and who now realizes the errors of your old ways – CHASING after people who couldn’t give a damn about your or any other home business opportunities…

The following is an apology letter template for your convenience. I’d suggest you send this out to all your “warm-circle” ex-friends.

Dear _____,

I want to apologize and take responsibility for how our friendship ended several years ago.

And frankly, apologize for being straight up an annoying, self-righteous, pompous, pain-in-the-ass.

At that time I was consumed with _____ and what I thought was “my” business. And to make matters worse, I was consumed with making that YOUR business as well.

I was convinced that _____ was the coolest thing since sliced bread and I refused to accept the fact that you didn’t see it my way.

Every time we’d hang out, I’d somehow always manage to bring the conversation back to a “startup business meeting” I was holding at my place that coming weekend and since you are such a good friend AND are intelligent, you absolutely had to be there. After all, only stupid and un-motivated lazy people missed those types of meetings.

I’d call you and pester you to let me come over with all my demo products so I can PROVE to you that my box of _____ detergent was the bomb – never mind that it was 10 times the cost of store shelf brands and I was getting twelve boxes every month automatically shipped to me (and you would have had to too – but it would’ve been okay I promised since I would’ve shown you how to turn _____ detergent into cat litter, deodorant, soap, and baking powder replacement so you’d only have to store six unused boxes in your garage every month.)

I’d hassle you to come to our next big _____ “training conference” where you would’ve met a bunch of millionaires and could’ve waited in line to *GASP* shake their hands! I would’ve exposed you to the insane “pump you up” talks that’s geared at nothing but to get you EXCITED about this amazing business opportunity which only ignorant and stupid people would say no to.

I’d have my “mentor”, a total stranger who got your number through me, 3-way call you so we can try to sell you the dream, the hype, and the PLAN.

And when you kindly and gently said no to all of it, I thumbed my nose at you thinking you are a fool – then I’d follow my “mentor’s”, who’s really nobody but someone interested in me getting more people into _____ so his paycheck can grow, advice and cut ties with you.

Little did I know that I was the fool.

I was the one who was misled into believing this was the way to grow a business – hassling people who weren’t at all interested about a company that wasn’t as it promised to be.

Little did I know that in that backwards company there was no leverage, no draw, and no luster… and frankly, NO PAY. It was all built on hopes and dreams and more often than not, the cost of friendships and relationships – like ours.

I realize the errors of my way and apologize for being so ignorant and blind. I lacked business sense and frankly had no experience nor understanding of the network marketing industry. I was desperate for leads, prospects, sales, and customers and was willing to do ANYTHING, at whatever the cost, to get them, much like my uplines.

I was out of place and I apologize.

Since then I’ve moved on from _____.

After extensive research and having gained much wisdom in this industry, I found a different company I can be proud of with a model that’s sustainable and enjoyable.

I no longer chase after and harass my family and friends – I no longer need nor want to. I now market online, utilizing the awesome tool of the internet so folks who are looking for me come find me, instead of me chasing after them.

Rest assured, I will not bring it up with you, ever, unless you speak of it. I am sorry about what happened and wish to make it right – I wish for us to rekindle our friendship. Will you forgive me?

Signed,

Ex-annoying Old School MLMer

Why I Joined Numis

July 16, 2010 By Raymond 12 Comments

As you may know, I just got back from a lonnnnggg weekend of hosting the first ever No Excuses Summit, where we had some of our industry‘s top leaders take the stage in from of ~900 entrepreneurs like yourself.

The event featured leaders like Mike Dillard, Brian Fanale, Tim Erway, Todd Falcone, just to name a few… Heck, even Jay Kubassek and Aaron Parkinson made appearances on stage as special guests.

Raymond Fong

The feedback has been overwhelming – people loved it. They loved being surrounded by other like minded individuals and also mingling with all the leaders.

On more than one occasion I got cornered by someone asking me what opportunity I recommend.

Well, I figured this is about just as good of a time as any to let these folks (and you) know what I’ve been up to.

A New Direction… Sort of

As you may know, I’ve been a big proponent of Carbon Copy Pro/Wealth Masters International – and I still am. They collectively offer an amazing service and opportunity and I stand behind their products. While it’s true that recently WMI made a change to their compensation plan that has some of the top leaders umm… not necessarily pleased about, they still offer a product/service that I think many can benefit from.

However… I also am fully aware that to really take full advantage of WMI, you are looking at an investment of ~$9,000. » OUCH. It’s a hefty price to pay even though I think what you get in return is well worth it. Not to mention from a business opportunity perspective, the commission (following the G.P.T. model) is awesome.

But let’s be honest, most folks simply can’t afford that hefty of a price tag, especially in todays’ horrible economic climate.

On top of that, for most, the benefits aren’t tangible enough. Most folks are of the mindset I pay X and get Y, where Y is something they can touch, feel, and OWN.

So I’ve been looking for something else, something that can cast a wider net and I think I found it.

I am VERY Picky

As you’ve read on my website here (which is obviously under construction) and throughout my newsletters, you can appreciate the fact that after having gone around the ol’ MLM block a few times, I look for very specific traits of companies before deciding on one.

So when I caught wind of this company, I had to check it out for myself…

The things I were immediately looking for were:

Barrier to entry – is it at a price point that folks who are not necessarily wealthy can get in?
Product – is it something tangible that folks desire and want without gouging the consumers?
Marketing – does it allow its distributors to market online?
Compensation plan – is it fair? Hell… does it PAY WELL?
Leadership – is it a company in good standings with good leaders at the top?

What I found delighted me. I don’t want to go too much into it (I’ll let its website do that) but I’ll break this down very easily.

Breakdown

Barrier to entry: It’s relatively “cheap” to get started while still having the capability to filter out the “looky-loos”.

Products: All the hype nowadays is about gold and silver and guess what Numis promotes? Gold and silver! The products they sell have been proven time and time again that they are desirable in our market, that they hold their value (actually they INCREASE in their value) and that they are wise investments. What this tells me is that anybody who joins Numis, whether they wish to promote this opportunity or not, comes out ahead – we ALL win because at the end of the day, the money we put into Numis comes back to us and then some.

Marketing: Simply put… yes, it allows and even encourages internet marketing. And I am well on my way to SEO the s**t out of this and build out my own sales funnel ^^ Need I say more?

Compensation plan: Sick, just plain sick. There are so many ways to make money it’s kind of ridiculous (again, you can look at the details here: Numis Network).

Leadership: Not only are the folks on the board respectable (heck one of the guys running this thing, Mike Mezack, is one of the top leaders in the field of gold and silver), but if you look at the distributors, there are some heavy hitters from my own circle of internet network marketers. That’s credibility YO

There You Have It…

My first public announcement of this business opportunity I got involved in a few months ago. I am looking forward to building out some sick (and I mean SICK) online sales machine for this. Will you be joining me?

My Numis Network

I recommend you start at M2 since I don’t think you get as much “bang for the buck” from the M1.
