Your Virtual Upline Podcast

In this episode I share with you sales and marketing strategies for new product launches.  One of the questions I get asked a lot is, "My company just announced a new product...how should I go about marketing it to my network?" In this training, I share with you my top tips and strategies for dealing with new product launches in your company.  When done correctly,  new product launches can be an incredibly powerful way to generate momentum in your business. The sad reality is however, that most people go about new product launches completely the WRONG way.  They immediately go to their social media and start posting every day all the information about the new product, and how excited they are to share it with everyone.   They start "spamming" their contact list, thinking that people will just jump all over the new offer just because they put it out there.  This is NOT the way you want to approach a new product launch.  You have to view the information that you have about this new product, etc. as a very valuable commodity.  The information that you have about that new product is a reason for you to reach back out to prospects and re-engage with them.  When you just freely put the information out there at every opportunity, you lose all of the power.  In my opinion, it actually de-values the information.   In the training I share with you my top 3 ways to approach prospects with this new information, and I share some of my best scripts for you to use.  This episode is a longer than usual, but I promise you it is an hour of some of the best training you'll ever get in the area of new product launches.

40: Sales and Marketing Strategies for New Product Launches

In this episode we’re going to talk about how to overcome your fear of self-promotion on social media.  Almost anyone in network marketing can tell you that putting yourself out there is a vital aspect of the business, but most people struggle with this because they have fear of self-promotion.   This fear can come from different places, but we all deal with it.  You might ask yourself:  “What makes me credible to teach others and share my advice?”   Your degree, background, rank, or commission check have nothing to do with it.  There are 3 primary things that will make you credible to teach others:  The CONNECTION you have with people, the VALUE that you provide, and your CONSISTENCY.   Understand that no one else can teach a topic the way that you do: how you think about it, explain it, your life stories and research.  Don’t water yourself down thinking that someone else wonʼt be able to take the “real you.”  Itʼs your willingness to be authentic and unapologetically yourself that will make you stand out.   Thereʼs 2 primary motivating forces in life: love and fear.  When youʼre living in fear, you pull back from life, afraid to take action and put yourself out there.  When youʼre operating from love, everything is different.  You are open to all the life has to offer with passion, excitement and enthusiasm.   For many of you the issue isnʼt just a fear of failure or of being judged - itʼs actually a fear of success.  Deep down you donʼt feel worthy of success and it scares you to death.  You just have to have the courage to put yourself out there and get started.   Hopefully you get a ton of value out of the training, feel free to share the episode with anyone that you think it could help!   If you’re interested in registering for my free Facebook training next week you can do so at the link below!

In this episode we’re going to talk about how to overcome your fear of self-promotion on social media.  Almost anyone in network marketing can tell you that putting yourself out there is a vital aspect of the business, but most people struggle with this because they have fear of self-promotion. This fear can come from different places, but we all deal with it.  You might ask yourself:  “What makes me credible to teach others and share my advice?”   Your degree, background, rank, or commission check have nothing to do with it.  There are 3 primary things that will make you credible to teach others:  The CONNECTION you have with people, the VALUE that you provide, and your CONSISTENCY. Understand that no one else can teach a topic the way that you do: how you think about it, explain it, your life stories and research.  Don’t water yourself down thinking that someone else wonʼt be able to take the “real you.”  Itʼs your willingness to be authentic and unapologetically yourself that will make you stand out. Thereʼs 2 primary motivating forces in life: love and fear.  When youʼre living in fear, you pull back from life, afraid to take action and put yourself out there.  When youʼre operating from love, everything is different.  You are open to all the life has to offer with passion, excitement and enthusiasm. For many of you the issue isnʼt just a fear of failure or of being judged - itʼs actually a fear of success.  Deep down you donʼt feel worthy of success and it scares you to death.  You just have to have the courage to put yourself out there and get started. Hopefully you get a ton of value out of the training, feel free to share the episode with anyone that you think it could help!   If you’re interested in registering for my free Facebook training next week you can do so at the link below!

03: How To Not Suck At Cold Market Recruiting

Do either of these situations sound familiar?  You can get customers easily, but you just can’t seem to sign any business partners and actually build a team. Or, you can recruit, but no one on your team ever sees any level of success.   If you’ve said a resounding “Yes, that’s me!” to either of the above, then I’m here to tell you your problem – you’re talking WAY too much! You know everything about the product and the compensation plan!  And you’re more than happy to share all of those details! You are stuck in the trap that a lot of network marketers get into – you’ve made yourself the expert. And your prospects or team members CANNOT or DO NOT WANT to duplicate what you’re doing.  They do not see themselves as ever ‘being the expert’ like you are.    When Prospecting, the Less that You Say, the More You Make I want you to understand this: the ‘training process’ for your new recruits starts the moment you open your mouth to them. And the question that’s stuck in their mind is, “Can I do this?” So as the leader, in order to demonstrate the SIMPLICITY of your business and able to duplicate it in your team, you must start TALKING LESS. Once your prospects or team members see that they are simply sharing information in the form of third party tools (videos, recorded calls, etc), they are more likely to move forward because they see that they do not have to be ‘the expert’ like you! Being ‘The Expert’ actually is killing your chance of building a successful and energetic team!  If you would like more strategies and tips like the above on how to begin recruiting and team-building like a pro, join me in my “Revive Your Downline” Recruiting Challenge that begins on February 11th by clicking this link:   www.BobHeilig.com/recruiting-challenge   Episode Quotes "The training process for your new people starts the moment you open your mouth to them."

128: The 5 Phases of Network Marketing Leadership

In this podcast episode, we dive into a topic that I believe everyone can relate to which is how to overcome your fear of prospecting. I am going to give you a totally different way to look at fear and what I wish I would have known when I first started in network marketing. The goal is not to eliminate FEAR… it is to build your FAITH As humans we start off free from fear.  My son, Greyson, proves this!  He is a maniac and fearless in how he lives his life and what he’s willing to try each day.  However, over time, as humans, we start to develop a fear that resides deep inside of us.  When I started my own first network marketing business, I was so excited at first!....until I had to make that first phone call!  Then the fear stepped in!  In fact, I, Bob Heilig, hated prospecting at first!  Oftentimes, we wind up clinging to our fears because we want to be certain and be in control. We can call fear different things, but I want you to understand that no matter the term you use, they are all the same.  And the solution to overcome every single type of fear is the same as well. You need to know this - the solution is not eliminating fear; it is building up your faith. To be successful in your business, you must break the habitual pattern of negative thinking that you’ve created in your life.  This way of thinking has created your current results! You must be able to interpret the things you are scared of – the ‘no’s,’ the rejections, the lack of responses from people you respect – in a different way than your current emotions are allowing. And so, in this episode, let’s dig a bit deeper on what exactly fear is, exactly why we love to cling to our fears, but also what you need to consciously and intentionally see to overcome fear’s grip on your life and your business.    Mentioned: EPISODE 73 https://yourvirtualupline.com/podcast/73/

111: How to Overcome Your Fear of Prospecting

The reason why most people struggle in network marketing is because they are taught to focus on the wrong things. Network marketers have this “Success Mindset”, wherein they focus more on personal gain and what they can get from their network marketing business. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with having success goals, but if that’s your final destination, then you will see yourself struggling with prospecting people. Somebody asked me, “What would you consider to be an effective Facebook prospecting post?” I thought about it, and understanding the concept of Legacy Leadership, a better question would be, “What would be the best thing for me to post on Facebook to help me make the biggest impact?” Actually, social media has shifted to quality over quantity. In other words, posting your stuff and inviting people every day to join your business doesn’t work anymore. So, in this episode, I’m going to share with you a business strategy that you can apply to be successful in prospecting. I have this concept called “Learning Out Loud”, and it focuses more on impact over income, quality over quantity. So anytime you hear, read or learn something that educates and empowers you, all you need to do is share that content with others on social media. Your goal is to enhance people’s lives by what you share. And the moment you share something that has value to someone, you immediately become valuable to them. This then creates that connection and relationship, and we all know a successful prospecting is born of that relationship. Stop thinking like a customer, and start thinking like a marketer. Marketers think everything around us is potential content to share with others. So here is my challenge for you: Start to share that quote that inspired your life, the strategies you heard on podcasts or read in a book. Get those old notebooks that you’ve accumulated and find something in there that you can share with someone else. Remember, teaching is the fastest way to success.

06: 3 Simple but Powerful Phrases that will INSTANTLY Make You a Better Recruiter

Let’s talk about a topic that I know for many of you is something you struggle with a lot in your business – CLOSING. To master the skill of closing you have to have a game plan and practice it over and over again Have you ever heard prospects say these things to you before?  I’m not really a great salesperson. I don’t have the time to do anything else. I don’t have the money; so, I can’t afford to join your team or buy your product.  Personally I used to hate closing.  It felt so uncomfortable to me. However, I realized this came down to two things… First was my lack of confidence, and second, my mindset to the ‘YES’s’ and ‘NO’s’ you hear in this business. So, I’ve created what I call the ‘3 S’s Closing Strategy.’  I promise you it will make you much more confident and comfortable when it comes to closing a prospect. Let’s get into my ‘3 S’s’ Closing Strategy! Strategy #1 is SIMPLE. Don’t complicate the process of sharing your products and business opportunity.  Remember, the less you say, the more money you are likely to make.  Strategy #2 is SYSTEM. I want you to understand that it is the real key to building a team and getting new recruits is having a system for your team that anyone and everyone can utilize. Every aspect of your business must be system driven, and this what gives your people that necessary confidence because confidence starts out not in their own abilities, but their ability to follow a system.      Finally, Strategy #3 is SUPPORT. Sell your prospect on the fact that they are locking arms with you. That you will be there for them every step of the way. If someone sees you as the person who can change their life, they’re going to join you.

122: My ‘3 S’s’ Closing Strategy

Why should you focus on building a team? It’s pretty simple. Building an organization is the ONLY way that you will ever achieve TRUE freedom in your network marketing business. Yes, you can sell products and still earn additional income to assist your family.  However, true financial and time freedom is only accomplished with a team. Having a team allows you to increase and scale the impact that you can make in the world exponentially. The bigger the team you have, the bigger the impact that you’ll make in your business.  And because money is a reward for the amount of value you give to the world, of course, the more money you will make as well.   The Secret to Motivating Your Team is Leverage The problem, though, is that leaders are taught to focus on the wrong things in their business. As a result, they not only struggle growing their business, but they also struggle as a leader. Here is the secret I want to share with you when it comes to motivating your team – it’s called LEVERAGE! Leverage is having the power to influence a person or a situation to achieve a particular outcome. When it comes to creating leverage within an organization, you must understand these two concepts – WIDTH and DEPTH. Width refers to the people that you personally recruit into your business and this is the first thing that you need to focus when starting a business. Depth on the other hand, refers to the people that come into your team through the people that you personally recruited. Yes, what naturally happens over time is depth starts to develop but I want you to know that depth is your responsibility. You need to have that “chasing the business” mindset. As a leader, don’t wait for depth to happen.  Go out and make it happen for yourself. And trust me, when you can build depth in a team it does something very powerful.

142: {Biz Tip Friday} The Secret to Recruiting Business Builders

Today's episode is a special interview with John Melton. I am very thrilled to have John on the show today because I know he will be sharing a lot of valuable insights about social media marketing.   Truth be told, there are a lot of social media marketers struggling in their business. There a a couple problems they have in common.  One would be that they do not create enough generic value to attract people.  Another would be that they’re just thinking about themselves and what they can get from the business. So, in this episode, John will be sharing the 5 Steps to Building Your Home Business Empire.    Prospecting and Attracting Leads    Your goal is to set up your online presence, so you need to create one piece of valuable content every day. In order to create a following, you need to post something that creates curiosity. Share something inspirational, or contents that you have read in a book. You can also set your brand. What do you want people to know for?    Connecting with Leads    Once you have those leads, you must connect with them. Build relationships with those people who like, comment or engage with your posts. But the key thing is, don’t be pushy. You want to be human first, marketer second; build that social equity with your contacts.    Inviting People to Look at Your Product/Business    After building rapport with your leads, you can then make an offer. But again, don’t be pushy. You are there to give them information that will help them with their problems. Share your testimony on how the business or product changed your life. Face your fear of making an offer, just be bold in sharing what’s going on.     Follow Up and Close    Following up is another essential key in building your home business empire. An effective way of doing this is creating a group chat for those people that are open and want to stay in touch. Have a group chat for those that are interested in your business/product because your prospects need to also meet other people within your circle.    Teaching Them How to Master the 4 Steps    The end goal is to be able to teach these steps to the new clients. Again, it’s all about legacy leadership; helping people changed their lives and reaching their full potentials.

Today's episode is a special interview with John Melton. I am very thrilled to have John on the show today because I know he will be sharing a lot of valuable insights about social media marketing. Truth be told, there are a lot of social media marketers struggling in their business. There a a couple problems they have in common.  One would be that they do not create enough generic value to attract people.  Another would be that they’re just thinking about themselves and what they can get from the business. So, in this episode, John will be sharing the 5 Steps to Building Your Home Business Empire. <ol> <li>Prospecting and Attracting Leads</li> </ol> Your goal is to set up your online presence, so you need to create one piece of valuable content every day. In order to create a following, you need to post something that creates curiosity. Share something inspirational, or contents that you have read in a book. You can also set your brand. What do you want people to know for? <ol> <li>Connecting with Leads</li> </ol> Once you have those leads, you must connect with them. Build relationships with those people who like, comment or engage with your posts. But the key thing is, don’t be pushy. You want to be human first, marketer second; build that social equity with your contacts. <ol> <li>Inviting People to Look at Your Product/Business</li> </ol> After building rapport with your leads, you can then make an offer. But again, don’t be pushy. You are there to give them information that will help them with their problems. Share your testimony on how the business or product changed your life. Face your fear of making an offer, just be bold in sharing what’s going on.  <ol> <li>Follow Up and Close</li> </ol> Following up is another essential key in building your home business empire. An effective way of doing this is creating a group chat for those people that are open and want to stay in touch. Have a group chat for those that are interested in your business/product because your prospects need to also meet other people within your circle. <ol> <li>Teaching Them How to Master the 4 Steps</li> </ol> The end goal is to be able to teach these steps to the new clients. Again, it’s all about legacy leadership; helping people changed their lives and reaching their full potentials.

82: 5 Steps to Building Your Home Business Empire

Every year people ask me, “Is it ok to do Black Friday promotions?” Yes!  It is OK to promote your products and business on Black Friday! Download my FREE Black Friday Marketing Strategy Guide with my favorite strategies and scripts at www.yourvirtualupline.com/123. However, to be SUCCESSFUL in your Black Friday marketing efforts, you MUST be different than your competitors. Here’s the truth about Black Friday - your success or failure will not be determined by what you do on that single day, but by what you’ve done in your business in the 30, 60, or 90 days leading up to Black Friday. In this episode, I’m going to share 5 ways that you can make the most of your Black Friday promotions this year. Strategy #1: Live Video Content On-Ramp. You need to warm your audience up for the promotion!  To do this, build up curiosity for your products through a series of live videos on Facebook, Instagram, or any platform you prefer. The key here is to create value; so, it’s very important that you focus on educating and teaching people around the area of your products. Strategy #2: Share Customer Success Stories. I want you to understand that people don’t buy products.  They buy the results that the product gives. So instead of selling on price, focus on selling the value of your products by sharing customer success stories and how it made your customer’s life better and what problems you solved for your customers. Strategy #3: Gratitude and Appreciation. Don’t lead with the promotion you.  Always lead with love, gratitude, and appreciation for the customers supporting your business. What does this mean?  Instead of jumping straight in with your product pitch, schedule some dedicated time to call, voice message, or even send a short, handwritten note for your current or past customers personally thanking them for their support.   Strategy #4: ‘Steal a Deal’ FB Group Strategy. With this strategy, you set up a temporary ‘pop-up’ FB Group for your entire team to use during Black Friday. Your team members can then add their customers and prospects to this group. The exciting part is that each member can contribute a certain amount that will go to the discounts of the products. You will then pick a specific time for the event to happen so you can start promoting to everyone inside the group. Strategy #5: Personally Connect with Your Top Prospects. Most network marketers rely too heavily on passive ‘Attraction Marketing.’ What I want you to do this Black Friday is change your approach, slow down, and get more focused on the most important people for you to connect with. At the end of the day, the best sales strategy out there is just genuinely taking the time to get to know what’s going on in someone’s life and caring about them.

123: 5 Strategies to Help You Make the Most of Black Friday

Are you looking for a radically different way to think about and approach growing your network marketing business?  Today, I’m going to share with you the LOVE, SERVE, GROW concept, which serves as the foundation of everything we do inside our Legacy Leadership Academy. The idea, itself, is simple.  Put LOVE at the center of your business and life and serve others with this thought always first in mind.  It’s having a mindset that the more you serve - putting other’s interest before your own - the more you grow as a person, as a leader.  It’s having a SERVICE, not a sales, mindset, and understanding that the more you SERVE, the more you GROW.  And when I say ‘grow,’ I mean everything grows as a byproduct - you grow as a person, you grow as a leader, your team grows, your income grows, your impact grows, your happiness, joy, and fulfillment in life grows.  Now is not the time for you to SELL as a profession - it’s the time for you to SERVE. Show the people in your life that you’re DIFFERENT. Reach out to them and show them that you truly care, not that you’re out to get a new recruit or the next sale. I’m not telling you to not recruit people if they want to buy and join. I’m just telling you don’t make that your focus. And trust me, it’s in times like this that people remember more those who cared enough about them and treated them like a human being.

141: Love, Serve, Grow

In this episode we tackle an issue that I know is a controversial one for many network marketers.  Whether or not you should be "selling" your particular company's opportunity, products and services on Facebook.  Facebook has become inundated with network marketers promoting their "stuff".  I tackle the very important question of whether or not this is good for their business and network marketing as a whole.  I introduce one of the most important concepts I've ever learned when it comes to marketing, "learn to create curiosity instead of raising resistance".  I use the analogy of your Facebook page being like your personal TV channel.  If all you are doing is posting about your specific company, you are really nothing more than an infomercial.  I believe this is an episode that every single person that is in network marketing needs to listen to and really understand.  If you or anyone on your team flooding your news feed with company specific content all the time then make sure they listen to this episode.

34: My Top 5 Ways to use Facebook Live to Grow Your Business

In this episode, I’ll be giving you some tips on how to avoid burnout and overwhelm, on how to build a business around your life and not the opposite.  I'll go over how critical resting and renewal is to the success of your business.    I’ll begin by sharing with you a trend that I see with a lot of leaders around me. I’ve noticed that they are not self-caring when it comes to building their business and the type of business they are building. This often leads to burnout, ruining family relationships and even affecting their personal health. Yes, our goal is freedom and success, but what good is success if it ruins other aspects of our lives?   If you carefully implement the tips in this podcast, then I believe that you’ll achieve positive lifestyle outcomes.   Tip #1: Start leveraging the power of technology              - The technology is already available for us; all we need to do is use it to our advantage. I suggest that you embrace things like doing a live video and hone your skills in marketing on social media.   Tip #2: Be more intentional about developing leaders on your team - As leaders, we usually have this mindset that we must be on available 24/7. The catch is, to serve your team at the highest level you must become less available to them. Start working with your team and focus more on leadership development.   Tip #3: Be intentional about scheduling your business hours - You need to set a dedicated time for work hours as well as family or self-time. Yes, you must be flexible in the needs of the business, but at the same time create those boundaries. Learn to create boundaries around your work and your personal life. Have that time of rest or simply a dedicated time with yourself, your spouse or your children.   In order for you to avoid burnout, understand the importance of rest and renewal, learn the importance of being intentional in your business, work smart and think about positive lifestyle outcomes.

48: Building a Massive Following on Social Media

Let’s take a moment and talk about the idea of inconsistency and why so many network marketers struggle with consistency in their business. The struggle in taking consistent action is coming from a place of unworthiness I personally believe that if you struggle with consistency in your business it is actually because you have limiting beliefs about yourself. Your problem is NOT lack of time, or your spouse isn’t supportive, or the kids won’t give you 5 minutes to get your daily work done, or even that your job exhausts you! Nope! Inconsistency in your business actually is born out of issues of your own personal worthiness. There are two types of people that experience inconsistency in their business. The first type of person only struggles with consistency from time-to-time. Their business and productivity has highs and lows. The second type of person finds consistency a constant and daily struggle. Join me as I talk more about the role of identity and worthiness and how they impact the success of your business. I also share different action plans that you can implement to overcome your own inconsistencies in your business.
