Power Bite # 19 – The MPM Dos & Don’ts…
Dear MPM Member,
There are some simple Do’s and Don'ts that you will want to be familiar with in the very beginning. Follow them and you’ll be on the Fast Track to success!
Don't: Wait to get started!
Don’t: Think you need to know everything before you can begin.
Do: Get started immediately. Even doing things less productively is better than doing nothing. Sustained action is the main ingredient for success in any aspect of your life. My Power Mall is no different. When someone says to us, “I just want to know more before I begin,” what we really hear is, “I’m scared to get started. As long as I’m 'learning' I’ll be accomplishing something.”
The problem is -- that is completely false. Fear does nothing but paralyze you and keeps you from accomplishing the things in life you want. We do realize, though, how powerful fear is. That’s why we created a simple, powerful system that is completely affordable for anyone. There is really nothing for anyone to say, “No” to.
Don't: Try to explain the program. NEVER, EVER, TO ANYBODY, EVER, EVER, EVER!
Do: Direct people to your web site to watch the presentation. Do send E-Cards. Do hand out Invitation Cards. Do give out MPM Flyers. Do utilize any tools that MPM supplies. The key thing here is that you only hurt yourself by talking too much. It takes seeing the presentation and reading the material before someone can grasp what you've gotten involved in. If you try and explain it - especially brand new - you're going to stumble and mumble your way through, and they're not going to have a visual to help them understand it. Usually the first people you talk to are friends and family. Don't mess it up for them. Give them the chance to understand it correctly from the very beginning. Use the tools available to you!
Don't: Answer questions about MPM or our Shopping Rebate System until your prospect has watched the website presentation. 95% of the answers are in the presentation or there in your web site.
Do: Direct people to the website presentation. If they start asking specific questions, just divert them. You're not trying to be evasive - you're trying to make sure they get to see the business in the best way possible! Say, "It's all on the website. I'll be happy to answer all your questions as soon as you've seen everything. We need a point of reference to come from. Hey, what have you got to lose?" Our Shopping Rebate System will do the work for you!
Don't: Get negative or defensive when people are negative about home-based businesses.
Do: Be proud you are able to earn a great living by helping others. We offer the best ticket ever invented to get out of the rat race. Everybody wants what you have, even though they might not know it. Many people have good reason to be negative about home-based businesses because they have tried to achieve financial success & failed – maybe more than once. It might take them time to understand we are truly different! Don't allow somebody else's negativity and lack of knowledge to steal your dream. It's YOUR dream. Go turn it into reality!
**Strategy** One of the best things you can do is watch the Presentation on your website EVERY day for the next week. Nothing will give you a better understanding of what you have just become a part of. As you understand it better you will be better able to communicate your excitement to the people in your life!
Don’t: Forget what creates money for your MY POWER MALL business – SHOPPING!
DO: Learn everything you can about your Mall. SHOP for your everyday needs & wants on your very own Power Mall!
Take these do's and don'ts to heart as you build your business.
We believe in you!

Shopping Tip: Remember that stores are listed from the highest % or $ commission to the lowest by default. We realize you may have your favorite stores to shop in; but why not check out stores with higher commissions? If they have the same item, you can benefit even more. And remember 14 tiers. (You can change the order of the stores by clicking on the Store or Commission column names. Each time you click on them the order will change, i.e. from A-Z or Z-A, etc.).
Business Building Tip: Ask friends or relatives who have web sites to put one of your MPM banners on their site. (Tammy Martina Burks, Alabama)
Change the World Tip: Give your volunteers special parking spots. Depending on the number of volunteers serving your organization, it may not be possible to give all volunteers special parking spots. However, you could certainly offer a special parking spot for your Volunteer of the Week/Month. Showing such a physical appreciation will mean a lot to your volunteers and will also let your staff see your commitment. (From our 101 Ways to Show Appreciation to Your Volunteers ebook)

flames of achievement." ~Foster C. McClellan
