Recently, James Grandstaff revealed something that I found quite interesting…

If you’ve been around the IM (internet marketing) scene for awhile, you’ve most likely heard the term “squeeze page” before, right?

At least that’s what I thought.

Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc…

One of the questions was “Do you know what a “Squeeze Page” is?”

68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO.

To be honest…

I was shocked that 31.95% said no.

What about you?

In light of this shocking survey data I decided to write this post today to go over the very basics of what a squeeze page is and why you should be using them in your business (if you are not already.)

And for those of you who already use them, pay attention. You will probably learn something too.

Here goes…

A squeeze page which is also known as a “lead capture page” or “name squeeze page” is a simple web page with one purpose; to get your visitor to give you their name and email address so you can follow-up with them. That’s it.

One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in to your squeeze page is by offering something of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse or a highly targeted eBook.

For example, let’s say you are promoting a multi-level marketing business opportunity. The products are great and you are a raving fan.

Most people would just start promoting the website the company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page and offer something of value first.

That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with an introduction of yourself and begin building a long lasting business relationship.

In sales, what we are really selling is “us” first, then the product.

You always want to provide value first. Once your prospects warm up to you, then it’s time to ask the right questions to determine if your product or business opportunity can help solve their needs.

If you’d like to see a high quality, high converting squeeze page that James has put together, you can visit the link below.

It’s important to read the “thank you” page on the other side you can get an idea of how the whole process works.

Until next time…

Yours in success,

Reminds me so much of what we used to do when I first started in the industry and although I’m just now reviewing THIS system, I can definitely say it worked before and feel confident it STILL works!

What is First-Class MLM?

First-Class” means the first, highest, or best group in a system of classifications.

There are first-class accommodations on airplanes, hotels, trains, cruise ships, etc. There are first-class restaurants, first-class cars and first-class neighborhoods.

What creates “first-class” status is the attention to detail, the selection of quality ingredients, the training of staff and the respect given to the client or customer.

The restaurant industry is neither high-class nor low-class. Yet, in every high-class restaurant there is someone who determines the policies and the activities for the chef, waiters, and maitre d’ and sets the ambience to create a particular mood in the restaurant. All of these items establish its “first-class” status. A restaurant that is first-class has been created and maintained that way - by a person or people. A “low-class” restaurant is also created by NOT paying attention to these details.

The MLM (Network Marketing) industry is neither high-class nor low-class. Yet individual people who do MLM can be either. This web site (”First-Class MLM”) is here to teach the principles of how to build your MLM business using First-Class methods.

I’ll be the first to admit that I have seen MLM (network marketing) done poorly and in a way that I personally wouldn’t do it. That doesn’t mean those MLM businesses didn’t make good money doing it that way - many have. But at what cost? A band of great elephant hunters may be effective at killing all the elephants in their area - but at what cost? Anything that damages the whole isn’t good. This goes back to my discussion on what makes an ethical business.

I’ve done MLM (Network Marketing) in a way that is very professional and very ethical; thus First-Class. If you study “First-Class MLM” closely I believe you will agree that there isn’t a more ethical business model on Earth.

A person who is doing First-Class MLM would follow these basic guidelines:

1. They would tell the truth

2. They would only represent a company that has products or services that honestly makes people’s lives better.

3. They would be genuinely interested in a prospect’s success with their product or service - not just in making a profit.

4. They would know the company’s product line and how it differs from similar products. This makes you valuable to consumers.

5. They would be able to get customers and have not less than 20.

6. They would know the MLM industry and be able to explain it simply and without hype.

7. They would know their MLM company and be able to explain it simply and without hype.

8. They would effectively train people they sponsored to sell the product/service. The true test of training is,“Can they do it after their training?”

9. They would effectively train people they sponsored to recruit other distributors.

10. They would ensure the people they sponsored could train their downline effectively.

11. They would not sponsor anyone unless they were willing to train them.

12. They would do what they promise.

13. They would only take part in activities that reflect well on the whole of the MLM industry.

14. They would make valuable suggestions to their company so the product line is the very best it can be.

Title: Herbalife Employees Lose Over 500 Lbs in ChallengeDate: 7/16/2008 12:37:00 PM

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–July 16, 2008–With an average weight loss of almost nine pounds each, 59 employees from Herbalife’s Los Angeles offices completed a 12-week weight loss challenge and dropped a total of 526 lbs.

Mike Gomez had the highest percentage of total weight loss, 13.46 percent. In second and third place were Esteban Delgado, who lost 13.16 percent and Alvaro Lemus, who lost 11.20 percent of his starting weight.(1)

The challenge included educational sessions, bi-weekly weigh-ins, and peer motivation. Participants were also able to use the company’s nutrition products, which are available to all employees. “The program really helped me focus and my co-workers gave me a lot of support to make it through the challenge,” said Gomez, who lost 27 lbs and now weighs 174. “I learned how to read the labels on the foods I was eating.”

The challenge is part of Herbalife’s employee wellness program, now in its third year, which also includes nutrition and fitness education; an on-site gym; cafe with subsidized menu; yoga and walking classes; ping pong tournaments; tennis and basketball leagues; and a Pump It Up dance machine.

Employees also compete on Team Herbalife in the Los Angeles Triathlon in September. In January, Herbalife was named one of the 15 fittest companies in America by Men’s Fitness magazine. Men’s Fitness selected these companies based on access to state-of-the-art gym and fitness facilities, cafeterias with health- and nutrition-minded menus, preventative medical care, and programs for losing weight and quitting smoking, and rewards for staying in shape. The employee wellness program was also the winning entry of the Direct Selling Association’s Success Award 2008.
