Want a Recession-Proof Job? Think Direct Sales!

Brian — Sat, 16 May 2009 17:17:05 +0000

A front-page article in the 5/14/09 issue of USA TODAY highlighted what has been a hallmark of our direct sales industry … companies like TLC offer a home-based business that is recession-resistant. As the economy continues to stagnate in 2009, the prospect of a home-based business being a real TLC life-saver for families in financial distress grows … and you owe it to yourself and everyone you know to tell our story.
.
As noted in the USA TODAY article, “direct sales businesses that rely on home-based representatives … are seeing their sales forces rapidly expand as the nation’s unemployment rate soars to nearly 9% and those who lost jobs and nest eggs look for new ways to make money.”
.
In that article, Neil Offen, president of the Direct Selling Association, says “We’re recession-resistant in the sense that more people come to us during economic hard times for supplemental income or replacement of a lost job. Anecdotally we’re hearing that recruitment is up and unfortunately, as the unemployment rate rises to 10% or higher, we’ll be picking up more people who need an income-earning opportunity.”
.
“It’s a fact that the recession we’re living through is affecting many people across the country every day. That means we have an even greater obligation to bring our TLC opportunity to people who are struggling financially,” says Gary J. Raser, President and CEO. “This is the time when we can most make a difference in lives, when we can really help people create a new future.”
.
The people affected in this difficult economy are everywhere … from students trying to pay for continuing college educations, to new graduates unable to find a first job, to young professionals receiving no raises or promotions … from working adults fearing the possible loss of a job or a reduction in hours, to established professionals who have already been forced to take a pay cut … from women that need to find a way to earn money and supplement their family income, to retirees who have seen a significant loss in their nest egg retirement funds or portfolios.
.
In the article, it notes that “Direct selling is a fluid industry, with only 10% of representatives working ‘full-time’ or at least 30 hours a week. But some who work in or watch the industry believe the severity of this recession may cause more sellers to stick with it, even when the economy rebounds, at least as a way to supplement their income.”
.
“Tens of millions are being affected by this recession in some way,” says Raser. “And most of those people are actively looking for a Plan B that may in fact become their Plan A, because their jobs and their quality of life are at risk. It’s a whole new world for lots of good people, and TLC is a great financial rescue package for all of them.”

3 Principles for Network Marketing Success

Brian — Sat, 09 May 2009 22:17:51 +0000

Success in network marketing comes down to a few simple basics backed by a few simple principles. Here are three principles that I consider crucial to success as a network marketer.

Always Be Coachable

Being coachable is one of the most important traits of the successful marketer. Why? Everyone comes to network marketing without a clue as to how to succeed. It’s absolutely crucial that you work with a coach, usually the person that sponsored you into the business, in order to learn how to work the business successfully. If you’re not willing to take direction, encouragement, and the occasional constructive criticism, you’re setting the stage for your own failure.

Believe!

Belief is another crucial success principle. After being coachable, it’s perhaps the next most important principle. Believing in yourself, in your success, in your product, and in you opportunity allows you to make it through the difficult times. Without that belief, you’re liable to throw your hands up and quit as soon as the going gets tough. If you believe with all your heart that you will be successful, no matter what happens, you’ll be able to stay focused and stay motivated regardless of the many challenges that you’ll face.

Be Action Oriented, Not Result Oriented

Success in network marketing comes, in large part, as a result of taking daily action toward growing your business. You must take action in order to succeed, and you must take action regardless of the immediate results of that action! (Of course, you’ve got to take the right action, but that’s what your coach is for.) Success is a marathon, not a sprint, and results don’t always come right away. In fact, the results you’re looking for sometimes don’t appear for quite some time! Remember the right action will always produce the desired results. Stay focused on action, and the results will follow.

BluFrog’s debut at NASCAR

Brian — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 22:51:54 +0000

Blu Frog Motorsports kicked off its 2009 seasonthroughout Speed Week with a bang at Daytona

International Speedway, introducing our new brand

in America’s biggest week of NASCAR racing!

Our exciting Blu Frog Motorsports week started with past Daytona 500 Champion Derrike Cope driving the No. 76 Blu Frog Energy Dodge in the Gatorade Duel Twin 150 race on Thursday 2/12, showcasing our brand to a National TV audience of millions … and a huge track full of excited NASCAR fans! Derrike has been running NASCAR for over 20+ years and his fans are everywhere … and while giving autographs all week long, Derrike further boosted our brand to all of NASCAR Nation!

The excitement continued under the lights on Friday 2/13, as our No. 74 Blu Frog Energy Dodge driven by Larry Foyt ran way strong in the Camping World Truck race under, coming in 20th … and we were in position to finish a lot higher if we hadn’t gotten collected and all tore up during one of those inevitable NASCAR crashes. Larry and his team made us proud by getting the truck fixed as best they could and coming back out to finish the race on National TV … talk about exposure to millions and millions of people!

Finally, we almost had ANOTHER car in the race on Saturday, when Larry Foyt finished just five one-hundredths of a second behind in qualifying for the Nationwide Series in the No. 56 Blu Frog Energy Chevrolet Monte Carlo. And we actually should have BEEN in the race, because our car ran faster than 6 other cars that got in the race based on last year’s owner’s points! Larry did a great job in the 56 and can’t wait to get back on the track with Blu … we can’t either!

By the time Speed Week was over, Blu Frog Energy was known by everyone at Daytona! Not only did we have THREE great-looking Blu frog branded vehicles all over the track and garages the whole week, we were featured on National TV on three different days and three different networks … that’s brand exposure and visibility no other energy drink in our industry has, and it’s Blu Frog that’s catching the eye of the entire racing world!

Look for even more Blu Frog Motorsports news in the coming weeks … because racin’ is in our blood big time!

A lot going on with BluFrog and NASCAR!!!

Brian — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 06:41:48 +0000

It was a beautiful thing to see the BluFrog car with Derrike Cope driving zip around the track! I’ve never watch NASCAR before but I suddenly understood why this sport is so addicting. I felt my heart beating like crazy and the only race was against the clock. This up coming week should really be exciting!

I just read that Derrike will be starting 25th in Gatorade Duel 2, this is what Derrike said yesterday

“February 8, 2009 - Derrike updated us on Saturday’s events at Daytona. He said, “Things are a bit hectic right now. We practiced today with the Cup car. We were not that fast by ourselves, but we will keep working on it. Wednesday will be the important day when we get to practice in the draft. Qualifying will be what it is, just a starting spot for Thursday. I will update you prior to Thursday’s Twin Gatorade Duals.”

From the press release posted at the Derrike Cope Fan Club (no permalink):

“We’re really delighted to have The Limu Company and the new Blu Frog Energy drink as our sponsor,” said Cope, the 1990 Daytona 500 Champion. “We’re especially excited to create great synergy for the Blu Frog Energy brand in combination with Larry Foyt. It’s pretty rare but very powerful to have three separate vehicles creating major branding and awareness opportunities for the same company. This Speed Week should give a huge boost to the Blu Frog Energy brand!”

Foyt echoed Cope’s enthusiasm saying, “Our entire race team is excited about the opportunity to partner with The Limu Company and Blu Frog Energy in their national launch. They have a really exceptional product that our team loves, and the Blu Frog Energy brand is an exciting one that NASCAR fans will embrace. All of LimuNation will be thrilled with our races at Daytona, and we’re just as thrilled to have Blu Frog Energy on board as our primary sponsor.”

UPDATE: Qualifying results are in! Derrike Cope drove the #75 Blu Frog Energy Drink Motorsports Dodge and qualified 51st in the Daytona qualifier on Sunday, with a speed of 182.02 mph and a lap time of 49.44 secs. Cope will be racing again in the Gatorade Duel on Thursday, February 12 to earn his spot in the Daytona 500. The event will be broadcast on Speed network starting at 1pm Central time.

For an explanation of Daytona 500 qualifying and the Gatorade Duel, and what that means for Derrike Cope in the Daytona 500, please see this excellent post from Racing News Digest.
