*** Notes from Colleen @}-->-->-------

Thank you for reading "All-Business"!

This is a great time to be build a business on the internet --
but it is a time of change.

With the millions of web pages already up -
and more coming out every day,
not everyone can have their website be listed
in the first two or three pages of search engines and directories.

So what are the rest of us to do?

Some folks are finding the answer in "Relationship Marketing".


Check out the article on Tag Teams and see if this --
or a variation of it --
might be useful for helping your prospects
be more comfortable with what you have to offer.

Have a great week!

Article- *** Tag Teams

-- by Colleen Mandato

Tag Teams are the internet version of the three way call.

This unique system uses e-mail to show prospects the ease
and power of on-line marketing and gives them access to other
people on-line that are working a particular MLM program.

Here's how it works:

1. You place ads in/on the various on-line services, newsgroups,
etc....

2. Once you receive a response/lead...you e-mail that person back
with the follow-up information. For example, let's say Jane Smith
as
your lead and Jane is interested in ABC Company...

3. You then e-mail members of your tag team (your upline, downline
or other friends also in the program)...with Jane's email address
and
request that they tag Jane for the ABC company.

(Make sure everyone in your tag team understands the process and
agrees to the rule that no one steals a lead from another tag team
member. If anyone steals leads, do NOT invite them back...Period!)

Example: Hi tag team members...This is Colleen Mandato here, and
I've got this lead, Jane Smith, from Compuserve..she is interested
in
ABC Company..Her online address is 1234,5678@...

Please tell her what a great program ABC Company is. Thanks!

NOTE: make sure you state which program you want the members
to tag since some people work with more than one company.

4. Creating Your Own Tag Team Response:
(so you can help other group members, when they send you a request)

Hi, My name is Colleen Mandato and I've been a part of ABC
company for a few months now..and let me tell you!
This program is awesome!! The leads are great,
the compensation plan is excellent and our unique on-line
tag team has helped place several members in my downline,etc...

A few rules and regulations for your Tag Team to abide by:

1. DO NOT send information on other companies to leads that are
not yours.

2. Try to contact the group tag members only once a day...i.e..
save all your leads and email the members just once..Don't send
1 lead at 10am and then 2 more at 2pm and then 9 at 7pm..

I know you are all anxious to get as many people signed up as
possible...Remember that members of the tag group are busy
also and it's easier to do all the tags at once.

Another Tip: Don't worry if you have to wait a few days to respond
to your tag requests...it increases the time the prospect continues
to be aware of your company and your group support.

3. Select a small core group of people to do tags with. Involve
your
up-line and your downline as much as possible, but crossline
friends
make great taggers, too!

***********************************************
Since tag teaming is a new concept, people often have questions
about how it works. Here are some answers to frequently asked
questions:

Q: How do I request a tag for a prospect?

A: The best way to request a tag is to form a tag team group.
This group could include people in your up-line, downline or cross-
line
that you respect -- you agree to tag for them, they agree to tag
for you.

I suggest a group of 6...this way you can figure on about 4 timely
tags.

Q: What should I tell the prospect before I request a tag?

A: I mention that they will be hearing from a few of my associates
about the products company and on-line support they can expect
if they join our group. I also mention that this provides them with
a
more well rounded view of the program. Everyone who is seriously
interested in finding out more about a company can appreciate
that.

Q: How many people will send a tag?

A: Depends on how many folks you ask! Don't ask too many though,
you don't want to have your prospect feel they are being badgered.

Q: What's typically in a tag?

A: Anything positive! The idea is for INDIVIDUALS to present their
own views so that the likelihood of the prospect identifying and
feeling comfortable with at least one member of the team
increases.

Q: How soon will the prospect be tagged?

A: Usually within 24 hours, but sometimes it takes longer.
Most taggers will put your e-mail address in the CC box (Carbon
Copy)
so you know who has tagged and what was said.

Q: How do prospects feel about being tagged?

A: Here is a message I received from a prospect about the process:

" I really appreciate the material you are sending my way,
Colleen,
the articles on on-line marketing, the list of resources (great),
and the (*company name*) material. I see the Tag Team approach
in action and am delighted to get these messages. It addresses
a fundamental anxiety that naturally arises when we put ourselves
in the inquiring and receiving position, that we are unable to
check or corroborate what comes through only one channel, however
trustworthy we find it.

The Tag Team approach dispels a good part of that anxiety and
makes one feel supported by the accumulated experience of an
already
functioning group. I think it addresses the peculiar circumstances
of on-line
communication wisely and helpfully. I look forward to contacting
those who
sent me messages about (*company name*).

*** RESOURCE: Imandi


What if there were a way that you could help your existing customers
earn extra money to spend with you?

I've been carefully researching the imandi.com program.

When you sign up and refer others -- friends, customers,
associates --
you earn up to $5.00 per person four levels deep up to $25,000!

Even better, everyone earning money has to spend $250.00 of
each $1000 at imandi.com merchants.

So go on over to

http://www.imandi.com/go/run.dll?Rewards&ref=august12

and sign up.

Then, register yourself as an imandi.com merchant. This is also
free.

If you tell all your customers that they can sign up and earn money
to
spend at your online business you will be helping them -- and
yourself
at the same time!

Plus, your business will be seen by every other imandi.com
shopper!

*** All-Business Quote of the Week!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our thinking is shaped and corrected only through the exchange of
thoughts with others. To sharpen yourself, communicate with friends
who
are striving toward the same goals. An intellect which depends
entirely
upon itself is prone to stagnation, fantasies or erroneous ideas.

~ Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
