The Marshmallow Test
March 15th, 2010 | Author: Marie Bennett
According to Wikipedia…
Deferred gratification or delayed gratification is the ability to wait in order to obtain something that one wants.
Conventional wisdom considered good impulse control to be a personality trait important for life success.
The marshmallow experiment is a well known test of this concept conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University. In the 1960s, a group of four-year-olds were given a marshmallow and promised another, only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not.
The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored significantly higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test years later. Notably, Mischel later found that easily explained tactics allowed children who had waited very short periods to wait for quite long periods.
Okay, okay, I know what you are thinking… there is definitely a relationship between delayed gratification and success in network marketing – for that matter – in any business.
Short term are you prepared to make sacrifices? Are you prepared to delay gratification in order to make your networking business successful?
That choice is of course yours!
Here’s to YOUR success!

Ethos: Mastering the 5 Point Presentation
March 14th, 2010 | Author: Marie Bennett
As you build your EcoMates Ethos business you will notice that your support team consciously, or unconsciously, covers 5 points while presenting on your behalf. Online presentations, webinars, websites, conference calls, three ways, PowerPoint Presentations and the EcoMates opportunity brochure (see below) are built on the same simple, yet very effective 5 points.
- Market trends x 4 – fuel prices, market size, environment, economy
- Product – proven, endorsed, necessary, unique, consumable, green, economical
- Company – management team, production capabilities, prepared for growth
- Leverage – exponential growth, networking basics = ongoing income
- Timing – early innovator advantage = pre-momentum
Presentations also include a “How to quickly break-even” section.
NOTE: The best tool to learn about “leverage”…

These presentations follow the same format each Tuesday, Thursday and SUNDAY evening so that you know exactly what to expect when you invite a guest to join you on the line. You know they will get the information they need to make an informed business decision.
These presentations also teach you how to present.
Once you master the points you will be able to present the business in 5 minutes, or spend 5 minutes per point. When you get to the point where you can use your fingers, or quickly scribble out the 5 points on a napkin and do a presentation on the fly on behalf of your distributors – you will be unstoppable!
Until then be sure to use the tools and your upline executive!
Grab a guest, create a 5-point check list and follow along during the next live conference call/webinar – TONIGHT – listen and learn while you build and earn!

ETHOS: Anson’s Network Marketing secret
March 13th, 2010 | Author: Marie Bennett
Every decent company or upline executive support team has a short business overview video available for you!
But how exactly to use it to produce the best result?
If you simply send a link to your contacts – have they ACTUALLY watched it?
So how to make sure that they know what your opportunity is about, how to make sure that they are making an informed business decision?
Simple:
My business partner Anson MacLauchlan is the king of keeping it simple and using the tools to present a network marketing opportunity!
Anson: Carol, do you have 7-minutes?
Carol: Yes, why?
Anson: Carol are you in front of your computer?
Carol: Anson, yes why?
Anson: Great Carol, I’m going to shoot you a video – right now – that will take 7-minutes to go through. What email address are you using these days?
http://www.yourfutureisgreen.com/video
Carol: __________
Anson: Great, I’m shooting you a link to a website right now. Can you open up your email and click on it?
Carol: Okay, I’m going there right now.
Anson: Great, please let me know when you get it.
Carol: Okay, I have it.
Anson: Great. Carol, click on the link and please tell me what you see.
Carol: Okay, a video, I see it.
Anson: Perfect, are your speakers on?
Carol: I think so, let me check. Okay, they are on.
Anson: Okay Carol, click on the arrow and let’s “watch” this video together.
NOTE: Now Anson stays on the phone and he makes sure that he can hear the video through the phone. IF he can’t hear it through the phone he asks Carol to stop the video, adjust the sound and start it again. Anson stays on the phone for 5 to 7 minutes. If Carol gets distracted, he knows, he can ask her to pause the video, pull it back and start it again.
The short video will pique for interest. Carol will either be interested – or not, or have a few questions – or not. The video is simple, duplicable, non-threatening. Any one can do this!
_______
When Carol needs to know more — Brilliant Compensation is a next great step and of course Anson knows how to get his upline executive on the call (okay, okay as the master distributors we don’t have upline BUT we know how to get a second voice on the phone. Anson and I use each other, or someone who is part of our downline as a second voice.) Anson knows how to use the principals below to “book a time” for a three-way or get Carol on a webinar. He knows how to put documentation in regards to the product, the business, the principals and the compensation in front of Carol. In other words how to walk her through the website.
_________
NOTE: So what happens if Carol is NOT in front of her computer when Anson calls?
Good question!
If not the conversation goes like this.
Anson: Carol do you have 7 minutes?
Carol: Yes Anson, why?
Anson: Are you in front of your computer?
Carol: Anson, sorry no, why?
[NOTE: How Anson “comments”, and then regains control of the conversation by asking Carol the next question. “Great”, or “okay” = comment and then right into another question = Anson in control of the conversation.]
Anson: [Comment] Okay Carol, no problem. [Question] When will you have computer access? What time will you be home again?
Carol: I get finished work at 5:00 tonight – so after 5:00.
Anson: Great, [Comment] [Followed by a question] what time do you get home?
Carol: About 6:30, I have to stop for groceries first.
Anson: Okay, [Comment] [Followed by a question] what’s on the agenda after you get home?
Carol: Dinner for the children, homework, bedtime – you know all the usual “stuff”.
Anson: Okay, Carol when does your “me” time start?
Carol: Good question – I suppose that by 9:00 I would have a few minutes.
Anson: Great, I will call you right at 9:00 tonight. What’s the best number to call you at, at that time?
[NOTE: He doesn’t ask for a “home” number. He asks for the “best” number to call. Non-threatening and often you will get a home number this way, even if this is a casual acquaintance and you have never had the home number.]
Carol: 1 604 771 5838
Anson: Great, you’ll be in front of your computer at 9:00 this evening and I’ll call you so we can go through something that will take 7 minutes. Okay?
Carol: Okay.
Anson: Good, have a great day and I’ll speak with you then!

Brilliant Compensation
March 7th, 2010 | Author: Marie Bennett
See you on the Business Overview Presentation this evening at 6 PM PST.
Pre-register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/867015634
Anson and I have been involved full time with network marketing for 18 years and the biggest challenge that we, and every other networker faces is the fact that most people do not understand the mathematical equation, the exponential growth factor of network marketing. Hands down our favorite educational tool is Brilliant Compensation by Tim Sales. This generic network marketing tool is worth its weight in gold – no – make that platinum. When we are in the process of recruiting or enrolling a new distributor Brilliant Compensation is the top of our list and a “must see” for those investigating or joining us in this industry.
Take 15 minutes, watch Brilliant Compensation – we’re sure that you’ll agree.
We love it so much that Anson and I pay for a monthly subscription to Tim’s online “flash” version for our whole group, for the whole company, for YOU, to use — and we have it linked to both our recruiting and training sites. Brilliant Compensation is an absolutely fabulous 15-minute presentation. Click here to get a website that includes Brilliant Compensation with “fields” that you can personalize and make your own. OR if you already have a website or blog, click here to get Brilliant Compensation for your existing website.
