    MLM Training - Are You Saying Too Much? Be Aware of this Fatal Prospecting Mistake
    My MLM Hot Prospecting Tip #7 is quite simply this: The more you say, the more you’re required to say.I see many people fall into the trap of saying too much — especially with product sales. This can become a predicament the more you are chattering away about you, your company or your product. Then what you’re really doing is moving away from what you should be talking about, which is what the prospect wants to achieve. The moment you stray from talking with a prospect about what he wants, then you get yourself into trouble.Let’s say you’re talking to a prospect about business, and the person says something like, “Tell me about it.” You should use that question as your entrance into saying, “I’m going to send you some additional information.” Think of it as an advance toward meeting with them, inviting them on a conference call
    r skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.

  • Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

    The Truth About Home Made Facials
    I started making facial masks after reading several books on natural cosmetics. Common ingredients used in home made facials are eggs, lemon, milk, honey, cucumber, tomato, essential oils and lots more fruits, herbs and other ingredients. The assumption I had was that home made cosmetics, being all natural and preservative free were much safer than the commercial masks you found in stores. A wrong assumption. You know the saying. Never assume anything. It makes an ASS of U and ME. Did you know some of the deadliest poisons on earth are 100% natural? There are complaints about preservatives irritating the skin and all that. That may be true especially for a person with very sensitive skin. But preservatives actually make cosmetics safe to use. Preservatives kill or at very least, inhibit the bacteria, mold, viruses an
    These hints, tips and tricks should save you a few minutes, a lot of dollars and, in general, make your life easier. This list is by no means complete. If you have any hints, tips or tricks, please email me at: tom@senior2senior.org and I will update this list as we have the time.

    Hints, tips and tricks

  • A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. (The envelope can then be resealed hmmmmmm...)

  • Use empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll to what appliance it belongs.

  • For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze. (I wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)

  • To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out.

  • Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).

  • Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.

  • Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided this would be much more economical. A box of S.O.S pads now lasts me indefinitely. In fact, I have noticed the scissors get sharpened this way!

  • Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time! Now, where to put the body? LOL

  • Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.

  • Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on.

  • Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.

  • Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.

  • To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!

  • To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.

  • Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

  • Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

  • When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.

    No-cost Advertising for Small Businesses
    Many small businesses are run from people’s home computers and fall under the radar of business statistics. Whether you are working for a multi-level marketing company or selling painted bird houses the difficulty of advertising your products without a budget is overwhelming. Let us face the fact that $20 a month spent on classified advertisement isn’t going to bring in a flood of visitors. A home-based business cannot compete with their larger counterparts. That is why in many cases owners are expected to tap into their personal relationships to make sales.Like many of you I run a small home based business and have learned through trial and error what works and what doesn’t. Despite putting some “notches in my belt” I have never stopped learning. In the beginning, many years ago, I wasted money paying for different types of advertise
