Bob Burg: Using Go-Giver in Direct Sales

About Bob Burg: Bob Burg is an author and speaker who has helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals. 

His book The Go-Giver which he coauthored with John David Mann, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over a million copies and has been translated into 30 languages. 

Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing, and influence, and has been named one of the 30 Most Influential Leaders and one of the Top 200 Most Influential Authors in the World. 

He is an advocate, supporter, and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people one serves. 

He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and served on the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption and Clinic in his town of Jupiter, Florida.

In this episode, Jennie and Bob discuss:

  • Bob’s golden rule of networking
  • What being a go-giver actually means
  • Being a giver has nothing to do with being a doormat

Key Takeaways:

  • All things being equal, people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like, and trust.
  • Being a go-giver is about shifting your focus from getting to giving by constantly and consistently providing immense value to others.  By focusing less on what you’re going to get from the sales process, you create a phenomenal, value-based experience that’s worth 10 times 100 times more than any money you may exchange.
  • Being a go-giver doesn’t mean you’re everyone’s doormat. Your influence comes from the extent to which you put other people’s interests above your own.
  • The only way you can earn a whole lot of money is by serving a whole lot of people with exceptional value. 

“Giving attracts. When you do it genuinely and authentically, you have their best interests at heart that inspires trust.” – Bob Burg

Rita Prenzler: I Get to Make Friends

About Rita Prenzler: Rita is a former student-athlete in cross-country skiing, has moved from Latvia to this country over 25 years ago, together with her husband has raised 3 amazing kids who also have been competitively involved in sports, one of whom is currently a student-athlete as well. Health and nutrition have always been important to her as an athlete and a parent, however, having a balanced diet has been challenging.

Four years ago, finding Zinzino meant not only improving health status but also finding a great business opportunity.

In this episode, Jennie and Rita discuss:

  • Rita’s experience with Zinzino
  • Zinzino’s testing process
  • Utilizing the health side of the business to reach more customers

Key Takeaways:

  • The fun of networking lies in making friends and thinking about what you can learn and give rather than take.
  • There are half a billion Omega-3 users worldwide, but when we take a test, they don’t score as they should. Life in balance begins with finding out your Omega-3 profile, which Zinzino can assist you with.
  • You’re always going to have to stretch your comfort zone by approaching people and talking to them, but through this, you’ll be able to build relationships and help people while having fun.

“With BNI, it’s like you open the door and there’s everyone just like you for ready to network and make friends.” – Rita Prenzler

Dana McWilliam: Done is Better Than Perfect

About Dana McWilliam: Dana is the National Director of Pure Romance and has been in business for 9 years. In 2021 she had $200k in personal sales, 32 activations, and $1.6 mil team sales. She is proudly serving on the Sr. Board of Directors for my 2nd year in a row. Dana started this business as a side gig and never thought she’d do it full-time. She was a preschool teacher at the time living paycheck to paycheck. Once she started making money from parties, Pure Romance quickly turned into her full-time job and went to a part-time preschool. Pure Romance is now her full-time career and she gets the luxury of making her own schedule. 

Dana has 2 young girls, a 3-year-old and a 2-year-old, and is married to a handsome Canadian man with a great beard! What started as something fun to bring in a little extra money has turned into a passion to empower women about their bodies and help them feel comfortable and confident in and out of the bedroom! She’s obsessed with footy pajamas and fanny packs!

In this episode, Jennie and Dana discuss:

  • The value of getting a “no”
  • How Tiktok has helped Dana’s business
  • How to come up with content ideas

Key Takeaways:

  • Don’t be worried about failing. The more “nos” you get, the closer you are to your next “yes”. 
  • There’s also beauty in joining the bandwagon. Aside from reaching many people, platforms like Tiktok allow you to have fun making short videos and educating people all at the same time.
  • Plan some content with a group of people within your business, look for trending sounds and save a couple and see how you can relate them to your business.

“Done is better than perfect. Just do it – just be a person connecting with other people, making relationships, genuinely adding value, educating and trying to help serve them.” – Dana McWilliam

Megan Robinson: Great Leadership Starts with Self Leadership

About Megan Robinson: Megan is the principal at E Leader Experience and works with individuals and teams to develop self-leadership skills that grow companies. She started her career in marketing climbing her way through the corporate ladder at advertising agencies and fortune 500 companies. Like many of us, she caught the entrepreneur bug and started her own marketing company. After yet another “Business Therapy” session, Megan discovered her true passion was in coaching and is a John Maxwell certified coach and DiSC Trainer. In addition, she is the Past President of ATDChi the leading learning and development organization in Chicagoland. Inspired by her own successful career in corporate and entrepreneurial environments, Megan makes leadership approachable for everyone, regardless of title, position, or experience.

In this episode, Jennie and Megan discuss:

  • Leadership is influence. 
  • How can you build your influence?
  • Setting boundaries

Key Takeaways:

  • A leader without a follower is just a guy out for a walk – you have to take the lead and see who’s willing to follow you and if those around you are willing to do the same.
  • Great leadership starts with self-leadership. Have a clear vision and be intentional with your actions because you can’t lead yourself if you don’t know where you’re going.
  • Setting boundaries is about letting someone know what you need in a clear, direct way. It’s not about controlling, it’s holding them accountable.

“Servant leadership is often how people show up with their clients – like you have to serve the client, you give up your own hours, and you let your boundaries get crossed. That’s what went wrong with your leadership.” – Megan Robinson

  • Facts tell, stories sell
  • How to build your story
  • Getting to know your audience

Key Takeaways:

  • Effective connected communication is rooted in the art of storytelling and pre-wired for success in our brains.

  • The key to building rapport is knowing your audience and reading them and understanding their personalities.

“When it comes to sales, the best way to use story is to try and figure out your audience – who they are, what they want, what their needs are, and then match those stories so that they can see themselves in that environment, they can see themselves in that vision in that scenario with that product.” – Stephanie Paul

Jacinda Bell: You Have To Do What’s Right For You

About Jacinda Bell: Jacinda is the Creator/Founder of The Virtual Visionary. She is a 40-year-old wife, mom, Gigi & business creator from Upstate NY. A child abuse and domestic violence survivor who reclaimed her life after 30 years of combined abuse, she wants other women to know that everything they need to build their confidence is within them already, and she can guide them in their journey to transform into something beautiful.

In this episode, Jennie and Jacinda discuss:

  • The journey Jacinda took to become the person she is today
  • Dealing with the scars of our past
  • Realizing your capability
  • Self-worth versus self-esteem

Key Takeaways:

  • No matter how many times people degrade you or how many times life challenges you, as long as you understand the real you, what you value, and what you desire in your life, you can move forward and succeed.
  • It’s okay to be vulnerable when you dig deep into your painful past. You are bigger than your scars, and you have all the time in the world to move forward and be happy.
  • Do what you love without trying to please anyone. Success must be something we define for ourselves, not something others define for us.
  • Having self-worth means knowing that you’re worthy of love, deserving of friendship and that you’re capable of doing more than you realize that you are capable of. You just have to find it and allow yourself to believe that it’s there. 

“You have to do what’s right for you. Always be true to yourself and to your own feelings, because the only person’s opinion that matters is your own.” – Jacinda Bell

Cynthia Height: Tell Your Story To Grow

About Cynthia Height: Cynthia is an author of a women’s empowerment blog and network marketing rep of a beauty brand helping women step out of their shadows and truly shine. She is a natural storyteller, enrolling people into her mission and vision, and helping others see what is possible when they say yes to opportunities to be the biggest, brightest version of themselves. She weaves stories into her content to tell not only about her journey but to share about the journey of others who are on the road to greatness. 

In this episode, Jennie and Cynthia discuss:

  • How Cynthia got into the world of storytelling
  • Using story to build your network marketing business
  • The five-step framework for writing your story
  • The power of sharing your story

Key Takeaways:

  • Storytelling is one of the best ways to connect with people because it’s where people get to know, like, and trust you. From there, your impact will grow.
  • You can build your brand by telling your own story. Let them get a sense of who you are, what your struggles are, and your experiences, and they’ll feel connected to different parts of your story since it resembles something they are experiencing as well.
  • Writing a story means hooking your audience, taking them into your struggle, sharing the cure, sharing the transformation, and making them believe that they can have the same transformation.
  • When each of us shares more of ourselves, it gives all of us permission to be ourselves, and all this will come from sharing your story. You may flop every time you put yourself out there, but your skill and belief will grow.

“Being able to share the little vulnerable parts of you like parts of your past that people will relate to, that’s where the customers are going to come from. That’s where the connections are going to come from.” – Cynthia Height

Ruth Loh: Grow with Grace and Peace

About Ruth Loh: Ruth Loh is a Holistic Practitioner and Network marketer for over 22 years. Prior to this, she was a former CPA who climbed the corporate ladder, made it to the corner office, and got burnt out. She shifted her career to a health and wellness network marketing company when her children were 1 and 7 yrs old. Now, she is a Mompreneur helping other moms “Own their Own power” and grow their businesses with “Grace and Peace.”

In this episode, Jennie and Ruth discuss:

  • Ruth’s journey into network marketing
  • Overcoming obstacles
  • Network marketing versus corporate life
  • How has Ruth’s direct sales and network marketing business impacted her holistic health practice

Key Takeaways:

  • We never know where we will find our next client or 20-year business partner, and that’s the cool thing about opportunities – they always seem to come when you are least expecting them.
  • Learning, growing, and running a business will always come with ups and downs. Ups won’t last long, but all the downs will really help you grow as a person. Don’t lose sight of your purpose and passion, and keep going.
  • As a network marketer, you have the freedom to run your business however you like, and you can focus more on the things that bring you joy.
  • It’s more than physically supporting your body; there are emotional aspects of it that are out of balance, which creates an imbalance in your physical body. Keeping your mental health in check should always be your top priority.

Pouya Haidari: Network Up to Get Ahead

About Pouya Haidari: Pouya has been in business for over a decade at the highest levels across 7 industries. He has built outsourced sales teams for multibillion-dollar companies, well-known brands, and celebrity entrepreneurs and has mentored over 1000 people in 20 different countries, and has built $100 million in client revenue. 

Pouya’s passion is to help people live a truly fulfilled life on their own terms.

In this episode, Jennie and Pouya discuss:

  • Learnings Pouya gained from network marketing
  • The power of networking up
  • Pouya’s learnings from apprenticeship
  • Building your sales team

Key Takeaways:

  • The key to success in the networking business is believing in yourself, believing in your product, and investing in yourself.
  • The best way to build your network and gain influence is to network up. Consider reaching out to people or investing in yourself to get access, and looking for opportunities to do an apprenticeship to learn and gain experience.
  • Mastery can be achieved by getting an apprenticeship. Success is attainable if you just do the work, take the right steps, and commit hyper-focused to your goals.
  • You cannot change anyone else, so stop trying to do so. Set the culture, set the standard, and really implement accountability and you will be able to attract the right people, and the right people will wish to be a part of that culture. 

“Live a truly fulfilled life on your terms, whatever your terms are. And again, back to the culture point, you have to be clear on what your terms are, to be able to live on them.” – Pouya Haidari
