How do I get pass 3yrs "You don't even have your website Up yet, why should I do business with you?"
Here's where I come from...
In 2010 I discovered internet and attraction marketing because I was yet on another trend of struggling in my network marketing company. I learned that the principles to successful internet network marketing, were the exact same success principles for any business that wants to have some success at slicing a piece of the giant web cashflow pie!
After being ignorant and on fire creating funnels, capture pages, facebook posting, Youtube video making and holding my own webinars...I managed to make some valuable connections and create a minute cluster of people who were inspired by me. They had no money just as I didn't but they believed in the prospect of being able to do, have, and be more!
I had people who told me I was a blessing n their lives because of the hope I gave them and although I was making no money, I felt honored to be helping someone whether I was profiting or not...the money will come.
3 months later, I partner with another marketer who is brilliant and cut my learning curve by years, learning and becoming proficient at creating funnels, web pages, graphic design etc., so we create a business dedicated to serving offline businesses...with him we talked with several prospective entrepreneurs, but no one could afford the services and we couldn't afford to drive the traffic via paid efforts and meanwhile I am behind on rent many months, my boys are not having any time with dad even though I'm home all the time (Single dad of two boys).
I eventually went back to work as a telesales man because I was at the brink of eviction. I become top sales person immediately, attract a lot of great energy and people who want my gleam and passion to work for them, and I leave that job because a limo service company wants me to be their marketing director and they want to invest money in my potential. I now have an office, a limo at my disposal and everyone feeling like I arrived.
At the end of the day, they didn't invest the cash in me, they didn't take my advice and invest the cash in the services I could provide and we part ways with me cold calling the yellow pages to sell my marketing services. I presented to 4 prospects out of hundreds of calls, and no one pulls the trigger on any service after meeting, me presenting how any internet marketing will enhance their business. Even though they expressed that the price is right, no one calls back or answers the phone.
I humble myself and go back to work! This is a cycle that I must stop! There is more story yet and still, but I am not going to quit so I now am back to working for myself and getting the same things that are keeping me from collecting any checks. People are not interested in the 9 x 12 postcard at the very least to gain an advantage on the competition.
I have no problem attracting prospects, I can't stand going door to door but I have no cash resources to even erect my site so I have to do what I can to have people experience me. I have gone out the last two weeks to speak to business owners and they are not interested. They are glowing when I walk in because I look like a professional athlete, very sharp and cleanly presented...but once they realize that I am not spending, they feel like "OK, I'm not letting him sell me!"
Not sure if this was acute enough about what I'm going thru but, I have been looking for help only to feel the same way over and over "I wish I did have the $5k I would get your training...I wish I did have the $10K to invest in your bootcamp I would be in.
I need a true mentor who has made the money, closed the deals and built the relationships with their clients that I am looking to do. How do I make the money needed to invest more into my development and success. I have the mechanics and will, but the art of getting the client to feel I am worth adding to their team and spending money with me, is what I need to be groomed on!
My two boys who've been sleeping on an ottman while I'm on the couch in my cousin's living room...need me to be better!
