The Reverse Funnel System (RFS) was designed by expert Internet marketers for Internet marketers. If you want the opportunity to make your internet marketing position a full time job and are motivated enough to put in the work to do it, then RFS is for you.

RFS, an automated sales process that helps close people for you into your business so you don’t have too, is designed for those people in love with the internet marketing aspect of the MLM or direct sales industry. If you like making videos, flooding forums with your controversial marketing ideas, developing personalities to attract different niches in the networking community arena but maybe don’t do so well cold calling people, house hunting and family bashing, then RFS is for you.

Granted you will still have to talk on the telephone, this will be reduced fifty fold. Your e-mail communication will probably increase as you push for further automation and greater web based absorption of the workload. People who want to make a lot of money but do it in an unconventional way are perfect candidates to take advantage of RFS.

RFS puts money in people’s pockets. You push the traffic into RFS. If you think you are motivated enough to close three to four sales a week the system would have probably closed three to four for you as well and without too much but some quality time spent driving traffic you can be making eight to ten thousand dollars a week.

RFS combines professional copywriting with a crafted paid survey designed to make you money and help you craft a winning team. The type of person who can take the most advantage of the Reverse Funnel System is a team leader. With a compensation plan that will be paying you thousand dollar commissions off of your down line’s sales, if you can’t make sure your team is duplicating what you have produced through training seminars, providing content and opportunities, or by bringing them into a team that has these offerings, you will be losing tens of thousands of dollars a month.

So think about your needs and desires as you consider your next business move. Look at your strengths and weaknesses to determine if you are ready for RFS. Some people sell cars while others sell cell phones. Both think their position works best for them and it probably does, however the car salesman will always have the potential to make more than the cell phone salesman with the much higher commissions.

In the first article we looked at how many first time (and experienced!) sales people can be held back from achieving success because of the fears they may have on getting out there and selling.

In the previous article I highlighted 6 main selling-related fears: failure; image or self belief; rejection; lack of product knowledge; criticism; presentation. Each of theses fears on their own can cause a breakdown in the sales process and prevent you from confidently tackling another prospect.

In this article I will look at how you can address these fears head-on; what you can do to face your fears and banish them for life!

Fear of Failure

Undoubtedly the biggest fear most people in selling, and business have is the fear of failure. There is nothing more demoralising than a continual lack of success! Fear of failure has been ingrained from school &ndash remember all those tests when the results were read out for all the class to hear? If you had a poor result, you never felt like trying again! But, don’t be like Homer Simpson when he tried to consol his son Bart who had failed in his bid to be class president,

“You tried and you failed. The lesson is … never try.”

So, what can you do to conquer your fear of failure? The bottom line is that you need a rock solid positive attitude. You must have an inner voice which is continually pushing you onto the next prospect and saying, “Come on, let’s find the one who’s going to say yes!”

Failure has to be seen as a learning opportunity. In every failure, there is a nugget of information, which next time, can point you in the direction of better success. James Dyson, the inventor of the revolutionary vacuum cleaner, summed up the need for a positive attitude, when he said, “Success is made up of 99% failure. You galvanise yourself and you keep going as a full optimist.”

Image Fear

Not everyone has boundless self-confidence. When you start out in business, there is sometimes a nagging doubt that you may have bitten off more than you can chew. This inner doubt chips away at your self confidence and soon you have a poor self image, which reflects in your sales pitch. To be a successful salesperson you have to have a strong self image.

To improve the image you have of yourself, follow these steps:

Write down the qualities which you believe a successful salesperson should possess. Try and limit the list to 4 or 5 key qualities

Find a quiet spot and relax your body and mind with deep and steady breathing

Once you are totally relaxed recite the strong, self image qualities you identified earlier

Imagine or visualise yourself possessing each of these qualities. See in your minds eye how you look, now that you have these qualities. See how successful you are, how you look, and the car you are driving, where you are living

Repeat to yourself that you are assuming each of these qualities and becoming a better person with each day that passes

Repeat this exercise first thing in the morning and last thing at night and you’ll soon find your self image and confidence levels increasing!

Fear of Rejection

Closely linked with the fear of failure is the fear of rejection. Hearing the response “No” is not a great motivator! The main way to deal with rejection is just to accept that it happens. Try and re-frame any rejection you get by saying to yourself that it’s the customer who loses out, not you. Walk away with a smug smile on your face and remind yourself that you are one step closer to someone who will say “Yes”.

Product Knowledge Fear

A lack of in depth knowledge about your product or service quickly finds its way to making for a poor presentation. There is only one solution … and that’s to get learning! Absorb yourself in the product. Understand all the features and benefits, so that you can confidently talk about all aspects of your offering. Banishing this fear is one of the easy ones to put right.

Criticism

No one likes to be criticised, especially if you have tried your hardest. Unless you are very thick-skinned, harsh criticism can knock you back. If you carry out the exercises on improving your self-image, your ability to take criticism will also improve. Decide to view criticism more as feedback than a direct attack on you. There is usually some element of truth in the majority of critical comments and it’s important that you take the opportunity to learn and change.

Presentation Fears

You may know all the features and benefits of your product but, like an actor, you suffer from stage fright! The presentation fear can be down to a lack of structure around your sales process. Write a basic outline on how you wish a perfect sales pitch to go. Prepare a script for the key parts of the presentation and rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!

Why not ask someone to help you role play a sales presentation? This will give you the opportunity to make all the mistakes you want but in a risk-free environment! You should also visit your local Business Link office and see what courses they are running on sales skills. Look out for books and tapes on effective selling. All of these actions will assist in improving your confidence and result in a more professional sales presentation.

Selling does not have to be a fearful experience! If you have the right attitude, a strong self belief, a full understanding of your product and plenty of practice, then you will have nothing to fear. So, take a look at each of these fears and put a plan in place to tackle them today!

If I asked 100 people if they would like to be rich, I’m sure at least 98 of them would answer yes. Their answer might range from, “maybe if the conditions were right” to “YES, and make it fast!”

Most people think of the wealthy as being reserved and probably a bit cautious. The thinking goes that if the millionaire wasn’t very cautious with how he spends his money, he wouldn’t have a million dollars left.

But a closer look at who gets wealthy gives a far different picture. You see, at the very core of American business is a deep enthusiasm. People who get rich tend to be people who can make the most of the American business system. And those people tend to be gung-ho, enthusiastic, and more than eager to charge straight ahead. If you say, “I’ve got a way to make a lot of money, do you want to start tomorrow?” Most will reply, “Let’s start NOW!”

One European marketing guru got it right when he said, “American business likes to jump in and take chances. In France they’ll sit on a good idea until it’s time has passed. Americans can’t wait to get going.” And I would certainly say that attitude toward business applies to everyone in North America, whether they be in the U.S. or not.

Here are several ways to light your own fire and get your business future on its way:

1. When you see a business opportunity, let your enthusiasm grow. Rather than thinking of all the ways the business might fail, spend time thinking ONLY of the ways it could succeed and succeed BIG.

2. Listen to those around you, but don’t let your friends, family, and people at work talk you out of an idea you really believe in. Scientific studies show it’s very hard to keep your beliefs solid when two or more people gang up on you. Keep in that in mind. If you start to see the downside of your business after talking to others, go back to step one and get yourself fired up again.

3. KEEP yourself fired up. It’s not enough just to get excited at the start. You’ve got to get up every morning reminding yourself just how cool your business really is.

4. Try to surround yourself with people who see things as you do. That’s a great way to keep your resolve and pump up your vision. That may sound a little self-centered, but it’s THE way top corporate leaders get things done in the CEO’s office. You can use that method even if you’re one person working from your kitchen table.

America is number one in business worldwide because we aren’t afraid to dream. We aren’t afraid to be enthusiastic. And that immense, American enthusiasm is our greatest asset in our never ending quest for wealth and financial security.

With energy prices going up and the job market staying flat, a great many of us are thinking about starting some kind of business to earn some extra income.

You’re probably also thinking in the back of your mind that your business could take off, make a lot of money, and you could say good-bye to your boss, commuting, and spending so much time away from home.

Good for you! I KNOW you can do it and here’s why.

Usually when people start thinking of going into business for themselves, they concentrate on all the things they DON’T already know. They try to learn more about computers, take a class at the community school, read reports online, and talk to others who have worked in the business.

Those things are good, but what will really help you excel in business are things you ALREADY have and know how to do well.

* Do you show up for work on time day after day? That’s DISCIPLINE. It’s the one must-have factor that separates the go-getters from the tire kickers. You have to be able to set your sights on something, know what you believe in, and not give up easily. You have to show up and do your job day after day until the cash starts rolling in. I know–that’s common sense. But you would be surprised at how many people fail at business simply because they didn’t give it a little discipline.

* Sell what you LIKE and KNOW. People like to buy from business owners who not only know a lot about the product or service, but are also ENTHUSIASTIC about it. It really helps if you know and like what you’re selling. If you have a hobby, base your business around some aspect of that. One guy I know loves to play the guitar, so now he makes a fine income selling used guitars on eBay. I spent many years in body building and fitness. Now I sell a popular line of health and wellness products. If somebody wants to know why these products work, I tell them, and I tell them with enthusiasm. It works remarkably well.

* Team up with others. It’s really beneficial to have help from somebody who has been in the business a while. They can save you countless hours by showing you the pitfalls of the industry. They can also greatly speed up your progress by showing you what works. But most importantly, a mentor can give you encouragement when your enthusiasm and discipline is waning. We all have those days when we get a little discouraged. An email or phone call from a mentor can get you back on track fast. And that’s what it takes to succeed.

Consider these three important ideas before going into business. Then know that you CAN succeed. Creating your own business can be the best, most exciting thing you will ever do for yourself or your family.
