How To Prospect, Sell and Build Your Network Marketing Business With Stories
Tom Schreiter - 2014
a story. Facts are boring. Everyone represents a company with great facts. Our prospects have heard that all before. But with a story, everything changes. The prospect becomes involved in the story, and instantly
sees what you see
. And isn't that what you want? So forget the flip chart, the presentation book, the website, the PowerPoint, and the video. These are great tools
after
your prospect has made the mental decision to do business with you. Instead, use stories to get that "Yes" decision. Then you can do your regular boring, fact-filled presentation, but use this presentation as your new distributor's first training session. The difference is monumental. Instead of detailed explanation (facts) about what stories do inside your prospects' heads, I focused this book on the actual stories I use, word-for-word. You will love these stories, you will use them often, and you will definitely
enjoy the increased success
in your business. Join the top earners now and become a professional storyteller. Scroll up and order now and start enjoying some great MLM and network marketing stories to move your business forward.

I Will Teach You Excel: Master Excel, surpass your co-workers, and impress your boss!
Joel Villar - 2016
Many of today’s jobs require that you be familiar with Microsoft Excel. How can you become proficient at Excel when companies aren’t willing to teach you this valuable skill? This leaves many people trying to learn as they go and never quite feeling 100% comfortable with the program. What’s worse, most people haven’t even scratched the surface of Excel’s potential, even if they’ve been using it for years. If you feel this way, you’re not alone. Think about this for a second; what will your career look like in a year if you don’t take action today and improve your Excel skills? How about five years from now? Unless you take matters into your own hands things may not look much different. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, people who show proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other common office applications earn, on average, 13% more than those who don’t. For most people this could mean tens of thousands of dollars over just a few years, and this doesn’t even factor in lost promotions and job offers. Can you afford to leave so much on the table as a result of maintaining the status quo? I’ve experienced this transformation in my career and can tell you first hand how it has helped me. When I was fresh out of college and working my first accounting job my manager asked me to complete a project that involved using VLOOKUPS. I enthusiastically obliged, walked back to my desk, and proceeded to panic. I tricked myself into thinking that I was an excel expert only because I knew a few formulas, my limited knowledge only scratched the surface. I turned to a college buddy for help; Google. I eventually managed to learn what I needed, after a lot of time and energy. I’ve climbed the ladder and worn many hats since then. I can’t say that the opportunities I’ve earned in my career are solely due to my increasing Excel proficiency. What I can definitely say is that Excel has earned me more opportunities to prove myself to management than waiting for opportunities to materialize on their own. That’s why I decided to write this book. My goal is to take you from Excel novice to master in the shortest time possible. I wrote my book specifically for the busy professional, in an easy to read manner that gets straight to the point and teaches the meat of Excel. I wrote this book for you. Don’t take my word for it: "I think the writing style is helpful for readers to engage. I like that as I read the book, I felt as if I was in front of someone who was actually teaching me. I also liked the fact that the book is written in a laid back manner. I mean Excel is difficult as it is, why would you want to make it worst by adding some weird terminology to the book? Its plain, simple and easy to follow." -Eliana Pereira, Accountant I have helped many people improve their careers through Excel and now it’s your turn. Here is what you get when you download my book: -18 chapters of the most useful Excel techniques that will immediately take your skills to the next level -Practical use cases plus downloadable workbooks so that you can take what you learn and feel, first hand, how to apply those skills to real world scenarios -A FREE copy of my latest book on Google Sheets so you can stay ahead of the curve You’re at the point of decision.
