I was sitting around today thinking back to years ago when I was involved in a multilevel marketing business. You know the business where you invite your friends over for dinner and then bring out the old white board in the hopes that you can get them, and then their friends, to join too?
Trust me. It's a hard business in which to succeed. It takes the long-term dedication that most cannot survive. I was a distributor for Nu-Skin International for about four years and never made more than a couple thousand dollars per month on my best months.
One day, I was out on the town? Prospecting? (Walking up to complete strangers asking them if they would come to a meeting to learn how they can make a fortune). I truly believed I could help these people make money. I was convinced if I could get them to do what I was doing; they would be rich and so would!
(I know this message is long but stay with me here...you will see how this can make your eBay business skyrocket in just a few short days.)
Back to what I was saying.
One day, I was prospecting with a friend and we were talking about our sponsors and how much money they were making doing the same thing we were. I was trained by Mark Yarnell on how to market and sponsor people. Mark was a brilliant man, one I could see myself modeling. He was making about $300,000 per month doing the exact same thing he taught me to do. I know he was doing exactly what I was from working with him and talking with him on an almost daily basis.
My friend and I could not resolve the problem as to why he was making so much money and we were making so little. So we decided to sit down and put all the numbers together in the hopes we could figure out the reasoning.
There were a couple of factors that were the same when I compared my numbers with Marks. I was talking to (prospecting) almost as many people as he was per day. I was having almost as many people show up to our meetings. So, what was the difference?
This is when I figured out the missing element that made him rich and me poor.
It was 1%! He was doing about 1% better at getting people to the meeting and 1% better at getting them to sign up and duplicate what he was doing.
It doesn't seem like a lot, does it? I mean it's only 1%...
It's not a lot on a day-to-day basis, but over time it's HUGE!
Look at it this way. Every day he was doing 1% better at getting people there and 1% better at signing people up. When you add that up over one year, it comes out that he was doing 730% better than I was!
That, in turn, means he would be making hundreds of thousands of dollars over and above what I was making simply by being 1% better.
The 1% factor applies in many areas of life, besides business.
Let's look at baseball: Did you know that the average baseball player only gets a hit once every four at bats (a 0.250 batting average)? The batting champion each year has an average slightly better than one hit per three time at bats (0.333). A career average of more than 0.300 will likely get you in the Hall of Fame. Finally, only one player in the last 60 years has hit more than 0.400 (4 hits per 10 at bats) in a single season (Ted Williams, who died this summer).
As you can see?? Even in baseball??
If you're only a tiny percent better, it will get you into the Hall of Fame and literally make you millions of dollars more per year. It's really a simple concept to understand and, once you understand it and work to improve your business 1%, you will change your life. Now, let's look at how this applies to your eBay business: Think for a minute how much more you would make if you could...
o Sell your items for 1% more
o Get 1% more people to buy from you again
o Get 1% more people to buy more than one pr
