Professional Networkers Co-op for Success From Home Magazine Campaign!   
There are a few shares left for the co-op advertising campaign involving the Success From Home magazine. I am sure all of you have heard about 4Life being featured in the Success From Home magazine. This magazine is on most newsstands in the USA. Professional Networkers will have advertising running in over a dozen magazines to take advantage of the massive exposure this campaign will bring.

We had a conference call last night where Mike shared how to take advantage of this campaign. We have the training on CDs for those of you that join the campaign late.

Each share cost $500. If you can't afford a whole share we will match you up with someone else that is buying a 1/2 share or 1/4 share. 
E-mail patricia@professionalnetworkers.com to participate or for more information. 

We will use the magazine in our follow-up packets for third party validation. The whole magazine will be featuring 4Life, transfer factor and its leaders. The magazine hits the newsstand between February 1st and 10th. We have advertising running throughout February and March. The magazine cost $5.95 each but when it is ordered in a bulk of 10,000 issues we can get them for $3.50. You can order them from us at cost. This should be a very rewarding campaign. I suggest that you get several of these on hand.

))) - TIPS  for 2007
 
Success TIP #5
 
 
One of the most important factors in lasting success is gaining control over the attrition/retention ratio. This ratio not only effects the individual but also effects size of the company’s potential success.

The majority of individuals that attrition from a company become a negative source of exposure for the company. Heavy attrition may saturate the market as far as exposure is concerned and effect the overall potential size of the company. An effective product like Transfer Factor can help retention but there are other necessary steps that will help.

You have to work twice as hard if you are constantly losing people. There will always be some attrition because this is simply the dynamics of life in general but it can be minimized through the correct strategy.

Excessive attrition is MLM’s mortal enemy. Attrition not only takes its toll on the general pool of average networkers but also causes leaders to become discouraged and attrition out.

First we will examine attrition from the perspective of causations and then what we can do to minimize it.

There are several causes for attrition. The following are a few:

1. There will always be a few “tire kickers” that are searching for a “get rich quick” scam. A legitimate program will lose these individuals. This is unavoidable attrition.

2. The methodology of advertising and presenting the program can create attrition. When you advertise or present the program with unrealistic expectations, you set the respondents up to become prematurely dissatisfied. Exaggerations and hype will drive the growth for a while but will increase attrition in the intermediate and long-term.

3. Products that are not effective create attrition.

4. Products that are not competitive with products that do the same thing cause attrition. Why would you need to know point three and four since we have an effective product? Your distributors need to know this so that they will stick with an effective product. When a networker struggles to build his business or when a customer or a distributor that is a primary product user runs short on funds, they will attrition unless they are connected with the viability of our product.

5. Lack of Contact. There will be distributors for one reason or another will decide not to work the opportunity for one reason or another. Many of these individuals will become primarily product users. The majority of these individuals will lose contact with upline sponsors. When they are not contacted by anyone upline for a matter of several months, they will lose the emotional connection with the product and decide not to order. Periods such as the Christmas holidays or other holidays that require spending money are especially vulnerable.

There are other reasons for attrition but this information will point you in the right direction. What can you do? You can develop marketing strategies that avoid the previously mentioned challenges. Articulate a message that is attractive but doesn’t fall into the trap mentioned in #2. . Educate your downline on the realities of #3 and #4. Educate and set up strategies for regular contacts with downline product users and a system for accountability.
 
Be Blessed. Mike
