Key to business presentations
I was listening to one of my mentors this morning and he made a key point that I see overlooked in most business presentations for network marketing opportunities.
In every business opportunity presentation, the speaker spends a great deal of time detailing how much money can be made, but they never give any information as to what has to be done in order to achieve those results.
Our business presentation should be designed to get the prospect imagining themselves in the business, but if they don't see what they have to do to get to the desired result, they may view the result as "pie in the sky".
So everyone can see that they want the fancy car, nice house and lot of vacations, but if they have no idea what they must do to realize any of those results, the prospect will likely never take action.
Robert Kiyosaki summed this up in three words: Be; Do; and Have. Everyone can think of things they want to Have, but what actions to they have to Do to get those things and who do they have to Be to Do the required actions.
Our job is to create a system that we can present to our prospects that addresses all of the common concerns faced by new prospects and provides easy to follow steps that they can follow. In this way, our prospects can see their plan of action, and see that it is not insurmountable.
Let's figure out a way to get this into our presentations so that we can turn prospects into business partners!

Mobile VOIP wireless instructions
Ok, so there are some configuration tasks to be done with the mobile VOIP phone.
Perhaps the most important thing is to get the APN (Access Point Name) for the network on which you have a data plan. The 2 providers that we will see most commonly in the US are Tmobile and AT&T.
I personally had an account with AT&T and it was no problem getting a SIM for the phone with a data plan. I had a phone line that I wasn't using so I had them give a SIM for that number with an unlimited data plan.
Anyway, listed below are the APN's.
For AT&T: wap.cingular
For Tmobile: wap.voicestream.com
A few points about using the phone via wireless network.
1) You may have as many wireless networks defined in your phone as you like (at least I haven't seen a limit yet. However, you must know if the network is secure or not. If it is secure then you must provide the SSID for that network.
2) Once you have detected and connected to a wireless network you must then log into the SIP network in order to connect to the GI Connect network. Login is an option on the VOIP menu of the phone.
3) To initiate a call, you must start a new call from the VOIP menu of the phone. At this point, all of my calls are being sent as "Unknown", but I'm going to try to find out how to get my number shown to the people I am calling. I'm also trying to find out how to receive calls on the mobile VOIP device when connected to a wireless network.
I'm sure I'll have more later.

Finally a mobile VOIP phone in my hands!!
Well, it seems like it took forever to get here but I finally received my dual mode mobile VOIP phone today. It will be interesting to see what it takes to configure it and get everything running.
I guess the first order of business will be to get the $22..95 plan from GI-Connect. Then I will have to get a SIM card with GPRS access. I hear that AT&T has one for $23/mo. That will put the total monthly charge at around $50. Much better than AT&T's current all inclusive plan which runs at $140/mo.
I've got to find a wireless hotspot so I can test making a call without GSM or GPRS.
More later.

Do you want to start a business but have a limited budget
I hear this excuse from people all the time. I want to start a business but I don't have a lot of money.
The flaw with this excuse is that it doesn't take a lot of money to start a business. It doesn't take a lot of money. Do you have to learn some new techniques? Yes! Will you have to do some work? Yes!
SO, are you going to use money as an excuse?
I have a friend that is homeless, living in his car who is generating a ton of leads using completely free methods.
Are you willing to invest a little time and effort and a tiny amount of money to get your business off the ground?
If you are then check out the link below for a detailed plan of how to build your business on a budget.
