My Internet Business Why Mentoring And Training Is Important
May 15th, 2008When starting an Internet Business there are many questions on how to effectively market. In previous times with My Internet Business people were told to buy leads. This was the easiest way for mentors to bring a form of advertising to the table. Instead of mentoring and training business builders on how to effectively market their online business they simply plugged them to a cheap lead list, handed them a script and sent them on there way to do cold calling. Did there business grow at rapid speed? Of course not, while this avenue might have brought sporadic sales it certainly did not allow business builders to earn money online on a regular basis. Unfortunately that is why the failure rate amongst business builders were high.
The Online Marketing Change
More and more mentoring teams are stepping up to the plate to properly train there builders. With My Internet Business and Mentors 4 U we discovered several different things, when setting up our training system. Your success is in direct proportion to how many people you help along the way. Once you show people how to earn money online, make them successful it creates a branding and recognition for you to grow your business. Lets spin it this way…if you didn’t help people, and were not offering them a valid way to make money, how long to you believe you would be in business. When starting an Internet Business you should not only want to be in business for today but long into the future. The most important way to make sure that happens is to give top notch training that in turn makes your client base success.
What requires A Good Mentoring Team?
There has to be several components within the team aspect to make it a valid mentoring team. You are going to see where people say best mentoring. I will help you to earn extreme money guaranteed. Okay they can talk the talk but can they walk the walk. Before I even created Mentors 4 U, or I started My Internet Business or Passport To Wealth, I thought it was important to truly understand what the general business builders needed. When starting an Internet business over 9 years ago for the first time I knew what I was lacking. I didn’t have anyone to show me how to effectively market, and train or did I have the resources to help myself succeed online. I was the Tasmania devil running into so many roadblocks. Unfortunately I took the long road, and spent a lot of money figuring this big dot com world out. I went to seminars, and Marketing classes. It was like turning on a light switch as My Internet Business started pulling in high profits. So I now knew what I had needed when starting an Internet Business, and I knew how to market. But what else was the general public in need of.
I basically interviewed past Internet Business builders. People that had failed, and entrepreneurs that had made it. The same thing kept coming forth, mentoring and training. The ones who had failed did not receive any training, not even a phone call from their sponsor. One minute they were best friends and after they joined they were gone to the next person who would send them money. What happened to the entrepreneurs who were successful? One of two things occurred. Either they were like me and had to pay to get the mentoring and support or they simply found a good mentor and trainer. So the same things happened, they needed to know how to market.
My next important questions was how do you feel you would have learned the techniques the best? The responses were almost always the same. People were e tired of dialing into a phone line and getting a ra ra session. Most of the trainings they participated in were telling them how much money they would make if they just stuck to it. Its all about the numbers. Well I knew, that this wasn’t true as they had discovered the hard way. Most said they were visual learners and could have learned easier if a visual aid was provided.
The Results = Mentors 4 U Earning The Title Of Top Mentoring Team of 2007
That brings us full circle to today’s date. I took the collective data, and my own experience and created Mentors 4 U, a mentoring and training for entrepreneurs from Passport To Wealth and My Internet Business. First thing when starting an Internet Business is that people need to have a fast start guide. Something that can be implemented from step 1 to the last step to getting the initial things completed. There is no need to waste time. One you are ready to build your Internet Business you want to have clear steps to starting. What we have completed at Mentors 4 U is a complete My Internet Business fast start guide complete with tutorial so that upon entering there is no reason to wait for marketing, once we get those initial steps completed members can move forward toward online marketing
If you are looking for a good marketing and mentoring training , or maybe you want to start a mentoring program below is a list of things to start you off right.
1.) Back office Resources - Every good mentoring team will create a private back Office. This should range from getting you started to intermediate marketing and advanced marketing
2.) Multiple Leaders - In my opinion it becomes rather difficult to mentor people properly with just one person handling all the task. It takes time and effort to make sure someone’s business is set up properly. What should occur is a networking of top business builders to assist you with handling your business.
3.) Tested and Proven Training - The training offered should have gone through a complete testing and evaluation. Any time you are seeking mentoring you should ask them about there training, marketing and what test they conducted to make sure it is going to assist you to earn money online. Anyone who is marketing and conducting that campaign the proper way will have statistics to provide to you.
4.) Weekly Trainings - How do you know that your mentor will actually give you the necessary trainings. the way to insure they will give you active support is to make sure that they provide personalized training per week. As importantly insure those trainings are done on webinar. There should be a visual aid in allowing you to see what your trainers are doing besides just hearing it.
5.) Visual tutorials - Besides making sure that you have the Live trainings there should be a section where you can watch the tutorials and trainings. Meaning a live presentation recorded for your use.
6.) Mentoring Meetings - One on one mentoring meeting should be scheduled to insure that your marketing efforts are moving forward. This allows you to talk about goal setting and what the best call to action to receive those goals are. Especially at the beginning this should be a once a week activity.
7.) Traffic Analysis - How is you traffic working. Top mentors should be analyzing your traffic results and if needed recommending how to increase those results. This does not mean they are doing the marketing for you, rather they are making sure that your lessons and training are bringing you results if not then they will assist you in fixing the problem
8.) One On One Mentoring - No matter how well the back office and the live trainings are established the one thing that every person should have is one on one mentoring. The best way to insure that you are going to receive all of those results is by having a list of contacts. This establishes that there is a networking of people ready to assist you.
9.) Proven Results - How do you know they can help you unless they have proven track record. Do Google or yahoo searches on each name. If they have been successful on the Internet that will be apparent by a simple search.
10.) Duplication - Great they earn money online. But when I was building My Internet Business I wanted to make sure that they could help me to d the same. Discover what there duplication rates are and how many people they help along the way.
Even if you are not a leader, and don’t want to ever go down that road it is still imperative to join a mentoring team that will help out your clients. Your success again will be in direct proportion to how many people you how help along the way. Making sure that you partner with the right mentoring team will allow them to have the success necessary to insure your Internet Business is profitable.
