So many marketers out there are approaching their business the wrong way.
They just don’t realize that, with a little planning on their end,
they could be marketing their product "hands free"?
No calling strangers. No buying leads. Just responding to prospects
who contact them after studying their offer. And the whole process
might take them all of a few hours a week just to manage.
How is this possible?
Technology is the answer. Technology allows us to work smart instead
of way too hard. There are systems out there which allow you to do this.
One example is GRN Team Builder, recently launched to help Global
Resorts Network representatives automate their businesses.
Global Resorts Network offers a luxury travel club membership for sale.
This is an alternative to timeshare ownership. What is unique, or
unusual, is that the rates for booking the accommodations are not
seasonally adjusted. Members are able to book luxurious resort properties
at any time during the year. A fixed rate applies all year long.
GRN Team Builder offers an “automated prospector” to GRN representatives
so they do not have to spend all of their time on the phone. This allows
them to devote more time to marketing their GRN business. In addition,
GRN Team Builder offers a plug-in marketing solution that allows members
to begin driving high quality traffic to their automated prospector the
very first day. This traffic is converted into leads which are then
contacted automatically by Virtual Assistants.
One of the greatest points of failure for most attempting to earn income
from home has to be prospecting. It is truly difficult to find the time
or the stamina to talk with enough strangers to sort through all the "leads"
to find real qualified buyers. Add to this the fact that most people have
no desire to be thrust into a "sales" role, and we have a real problem.
When prospects respond an ad placed by a GRN representative using GRN Team
Builder, the Virtual Assistants do all the talking for them. So if you
joined GRN and decided to utilize GRN Team Builder…what do you have to do?
It’s very simple…utilize the tools provided by GRN Team Builder to drive
traffic to your site…sit back…and collect checks…
Once you set your business up properly, making money truly is a passive process.

Mistakes in Business are Common and Happend Everyday!!
Running a successful business comes from a combination of perseverance, timing the market, and constantly staying ahead of the game. It is also dependant on avoiding mistakes and learning from the past. A wise man once said that it is but a waste of time to reinvent the wheel, and it is likewise a waste of time to make the same errors others have made and learned from. With this in mind, here are three of the most common mistakes in business, and what you should do to avoid them.
Mistake Number One: Slicing the Ad Budget
A lot of young business owners think they can use the money that would be spent on advertising and put it into other areas without much harm to their business. After all, how many of us have sat around the television watching the latest Mt. Dew or Nike commercials and wondered why they would spend so much money advertising a product everyone in the country already knows about. That may or may not be a valid question, but it's not to the point. The fact is, if you're just starting out, people do not know about your product, and without the proper advertising budget, they never will. Without knowledge, there are no sales, and with no sales, your business won't last long.
Mistake Number Two: Underestimating the Competition
This mistake can actually go both ways. Too many people get into business with the idea that they will simply copy their competitor's recipe for success, follow it to the tee, and reap the same benefits. This rarely, if ever, works. While studying the competition is necessary, copying their business model is a mistake. If they are already successful following a certain plan of action, what makes you think you can bring customers over to your business by doing the same? You need to be better than the competition. Better or cheaper. But beware, playing the price game can run you out of business quicker than almost any other single tactic.
Mistake Number Three: Ill Preparedness
Starting and running a successful business means research. It means studying the market you're in, and then studying it some more. If you ever feel like you know everything there is to know about the line of work you're in, it's time to go find a magazine or an internet piece or a TV report and realize that you couldn't be more wrong. While you're resting on your laurels, someone else is developing the next hot product or service that may drive you out of business. To avoid that nasty prospect, make sure you keep up with everything happening in your market.
Mistakes in business are common and they happen every day. Few of them are going to drive you out of business, but they are best avoided if you want to reach the top of your chosen market. As long as you stay abreast of what's current in your field, watch the competition carefully, and spend judiciously on advertising, you should be able to avoid the most common and dangerous of these business mistakes.
