The first woman to rise to the top in 4 1/2 months in her short lived network marketing career was "rocking and rolling" in a fraudulent manner. When you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar, why wouldn't the company terminate someone for that?I'm glad to see that this company has a firm hand when someone scams them. Why do you think that rules are set in place by companies?This person hurt a lot of people in her "rocking and rolling" months and had so many complaints to
"Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The answer is customer inertia. It’s relatively easy to convince a prospect of the value of your product or service (assuming your product offers a genuine value to customers). Tell your story, give the facts, present the benefits and you’ll soon have your prospect thinking. “This is a good product.” You might even have you prospect thinking “It’s worth the cost.”
Now get your prospect to act. Not so easy. And no matter how convinced your prospect may be, he or she isn’t a customer until he or she takes action.
There are many reasons for customer inertia: fear of making a wrong decision, complacency, hope that a better product will come along. People resist change; people resist taking action. Whatever the reason for the inertia, your prospect will only take action when you overcome his or her resistance.
What's the best way to create urgency and influence people to take action?
The answer is to increase the pain of inaction and increase the rewards of taking action.
There are two ways to increase the pain and two ways to increase the reward, and one way that combines both.
To increase pain limit time
Set a time limit to create urgency. Send a clear message that says, 'You must act NOW.” State a specific deadline, such as, “This offer will expire on July 20, 2007” or, “This offer will expire at midnight on June 15th,” or, “This offer will expire in 7 days.” And be honest about it; once you set a time limit stick to it.

This week I had a chance to visit the NFL Experience in Miami. It’s a weeklong festival the league puts on in the city where the Super Bowl is played. I have to tip my hat off the National Football League for putting on a fun event that could appeal to a variety of fans. Here are three customer service lessons that I picked up from the event:Treat your customers well. Right away I noticed that the hundreds of people who staffed this event treated people w

Do you know any high achievers, if you do, you know they surround themselves with exceptional resources.Successful investment advisors surround themselves with best of everything, including but limited to: the best people, the best training, the best strategies, the best tactics, the best resources and the best opportunities.The reason why?

We have all probably experienced mysterious charges appearing on billing statements. When you try to resolve the problem you begin to wonder what the word “prompt” actually means today. The wonderment continues when you try to extrapolate the meaning of the word absolute in reference to privacy policies and “YOUR” account. Confusion and haze encircle the brain’s ‘gray’ matter and things get murkier. When you try to shake it off, you learn that hackers are not only operating on the outside

There is a lot of consideration when being burdened with the complex tasks of creating and designing a logo, which not only reflects the image of the company, but will catch the attention of the consumer and client population. Logos need to be eye catching, and can be considered as tools which give positive first-time impressions of the industries or organizations they’re representing. Prior to a business promoting its major products and services in the market, its entrepreneur needs to be cr

To increase reward appeal to ego
Link taking action to superiority. Appeal to your prospect’s ego with offers that say, “This is only for those who have the foresight to take action,” or, “This is a product only the most savvy buyer will appreciate.” Let your prospect know, that taking action sets him or her apart from the pack.
To increase reward appeal to desire to belong
Even though people like to feel above the pack they don’t want to be separate from it. People like things that are popular and they trust what other people like. Social psychologists call this “social proof”
People want to be part of the “in crowd” and they also don't want to experience the pain of being on the outside looking in. Use testimonials. Let your prospect know that taking action puts them with the “in crowd”.
To increase both pain and reward appeal to exclusivity
The effect of the above strategies is that they create a sense of exclusivity. People want to feel special and like they're getting something that other people aren't. Only those who act now will be part of an exclusive group. Those who do not act will feel the pain of being left out.
Another way to appeal to the desire for exclusivity is to make offers that are limited to a select few. “For current customers only, “ or, “admission by invitation only,” and similar offers appeal to the desire for exclusivity.
Overcoming resistance is the finally step and biggest obstacle to making sales. Increasing the pain of inaction and increasing the rewards of action are two things you can do to help a customer take that difficult step. Again as
