Article: The 5-Step Approach

by Stephan Bourget

Step One (1) Join a program with potential!
If  you haven't done this yet, go to http://cashflow.bourget-marketing-internationational.com  This business opportunity will be used as an example to illustrate what I mean.  Adapt information to your business when necessary.

Step Two (2) Get a working knowledge of the program!
Go to the company URL and learn everything about the program that you can, ask your sponsor questions, ask your upline questions, talk to everybody and learn. Make sure you listen!

Step Three (3) Make a list!!! This is critical !
On this list put everyone you know. Mother, your children, father, sisters, brothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, your priest, friends and acquaintances! These are all people that you know so you do not have to build rapport. They know you already. They trust you already. These are the people that will make your group strong. Most people will have close to 600 others that they have some degree of influence with. These are your easiest referrals and will form the core of your group. I suggest, that you enroll these people right now before you have a full working knowledge of the program; because, they will go in without question. Then you will have a core group that can learn and grow together. This will make you and them strong and knowledgeable. You all will become enthusiastic and enthusiasm is a Key factor in growing your organization.

Step Four (4) Enroll your core group into the program right now!
Go as far down the list as you need to enroll 3-12 under you. Why? You need 3 associates to complete your  first level and to get some momentum started. 12 associates will make your team very strong, increase your commission check again, and allow you to place yourself in a highly profitable position very quickly. Why? You know these people; you have a common interest; you see each other every day; you share your triumphs; you soothe your defeats; you have a cohesive group where enthusiam can be rampant; you have a team where anything can be accomplished. "They know 600 too!" That's over 7000 for the team!

Step Five (5) This is the fun part. 
Continue to enroll the folks on your list AND introduce your enrollees to these 5 steps with one exception: Now you help them to enroll 3-12 as quickly as is humanly possible. Insure they repeat the 5 steps with their enrollees. You are the mentor; make them mentors. The 5 steps repeat over and over and will not fail!

Trust me on this! I know it's simple. This program and for that matter any program can be built this way; and believe me it's the best game in town. There is a fancy name for this personal approach: Viral Marketing. There is nothing more effective! This is so simple. You will be great and with a little persistence.......rich!

Abraham Lincoln is not only considered by many to be perhaps America’s greatest president, but also one of our greatest communicators. To him, the key to effective communication was good aim. He said to a colleague, relative to communicating effectively, "don’t shoot too high - aim lower and the common people will understand you . . . if you aim too high your ideas will go over the heads of the masses and only hit those who need no hitting". In addition to simplicity, Lincoln was renown for his ability to spin tales or tell humorous stories that were great illustrations to prove his point, or to effectively cut the legs from underneath an opponent or critic. Combined with these techniques, Lincoln believed that an effective orator must build a rapport with the audience through the use of a sort of "verbal grace". To him, "a drop of honey catches more flies that a gallon of gall". Over many years, he worked hard to hone his skills. These talents eventually gained him national prominence through the famous "Lincoln-Douglas" debates. His belief in simplicity and grace were quintessentially expressed in his great and sublime Gettysburg Address.
