Of all the ways you can show your plan, the webinar is by far the easiest way to leverage your time. You can show your opportunity to more people, in less time, from the comfort of your home, sitting in your underwear if you like. Let's compare this to other, more traditional ways of showing your network marketing business plan.

One On One's and Two on One's:

This is where you and your prospect meet one on one and you present the opportunity. The two on one is where your sponsor assists. This intimate setting, allows you to cater your presentation to your prospect. You will hear their objections. You can answer their questions, ask for a decision, and sign them up right there and then. So obviously for closing ratio, one on one's is very effective.

But here is the problem. Like everyone else, you have just 24 hours in a day. You can see only so many people in the day. You are not effectively leveraging your time. Building your business with one on one's, although effective, is a long and tedious process.

Home Meetings:

Most people in the MLM industry have gone to or held a home meeting. A home meeting will allow you leverage your time more effectively than a one on one. Imagine having five, ten even twenty people sardined in your living room. You put on an amazing presentation, and the crowd is excited. You sign up one, and that tips the others sitting on the fence over and they sign up as well. A successful home meeting has been successful in fast tracking more businesses than any other strategy.

Of course there is a downside. You need to make sure your home is spotless. You will have a cleanup both before and after the meeting. Then there is the cost of refreshments. You sometimes do not know who is being invited into your home. So you put your security at risk. The lives of other household members are also affected.

So although a home meeting is a very effective way to grow your business, you should weigh the pros and cons before implementing this strategy.

Hotel Meetings:

I have seen hotel meetings set in small meeting rooms to large banquet halls. As a presenter, a hotel meeting allows you to present you opportunity to tens or even hundreds of people at once.

At a hotel meeting, it is expected that your business partners (down line) will bring in guests to hear your presentation. An admission is charged to your business partners to cover the meeting room costs. You don't have to worry about clean up or refreshments. That is part of the rental fee for the room. If you have enough members of your down line arrive paying admission, the surplus over expenses could be your speaking fee.

Traditionally a hotel meeting allowed you the most leverage of your time. Your down line was also able to grow their business using your expertise. Massive sign-ups are possible in one night. One reason why many companies will use hotel meetings is to launch massive growth.

Of course there is a downside. One negative heckler in the audience can turn the crowd against you. Then no one grows their business that night. It is tougher to invite someone to a hotel meeting than a one on one or home meeting. Therefore prospect no shows are high and that can discourage a new team member.

Speaking of low turnout and no shows, you need to make sure enough members of your down line arrive to cover the costs you are on the hook for. Otherwise the difference comes out of your pocket. Ouch.

These are three effective, old school techniques to share your business opportunity. But what if I told you that you can use all three business building strategies, without leaving your home

Share Your Plan With One Or One Thousand With A Webinar. A webinar is simply an online seminar. You upload your desktop to the webinar company's server. This allows you to show everyone in attendance your PowerPoint presentation. But seeing the presentation is only half the sales process. Your prospects need to hear it as well.

That is taken care of with the tele-conference bridge. You can use your webinar provider's telephone lines or your own conference bridge. It is your choice.

Webinar providers give you a few options. You can use their entry level meeting package for small meetings of up to twenty five people, up to the full blown webinar package for up to one thousand attendees. This gives you lots of flexibility Now here is the great thing. Most webinar providers will also include with your full blown webinar package, their smaller entry level meeting options as well. So how does this build your business?

Let's take the traditional one on one. You (or you and your sponsor) call your prospect. They want to learn more. You email them a link for an online meeting. They download some software, connect to the server, and now they see your computer screen.

TIP: Make sure you have your PowerPoint presentation ready to go.

While talking on the phone, you can give them your presentation. They get to see and hear all the benefits of your opportunity. Some will even give you the option of viewing their desktop as well.

Imagine for a moment. You just did a killer presentation with your online meeting. Your prospect has pulled out their credit card. They are ready to join. Don't leave them. With their permission, take over their desktop and go to your website. Have them fill out the paperwork online and welcome them to your team.

Next.

You can do this over and over, without leaving your home. Imagine how much more productive you can be if there wasn't a commute between prospects. Imagine laughing at the high gas prices, because your commute is now across the room instead of across town. Simply because you implemented some simple 21st century technology.

What about home meetings. Again with meeting software, you can host an online meeting up to twenty five people in most cases. As you build your business, your webinar provider will grow with you. Instead of having people come to your home or driving to a home meeting location, fire up your computer, pick up your phone, and you're on.

Everything you do in a one on one meeting online you can do with a group meeting. You have that flexibility. It gets better though. You can now say goodbye forever to the hotel meeting.

A fully booked webinar allows you to present to one thousand attendees. Try cramming that many people into a hotel room. How fast can you grow your business when your webinar attendance surpasses twenty five people? How about fifty? Or a hundred? Or more? Kind of makes you a little excited, doesn't it? I know I was when I thought of the possibilities.

Speaking of possibilities, let's explore another. How about trainings? After all, an audio visual presentation is far more effective than just a regular conference call. Now it no longer matters where you're down line are, they can now have your personalised training and attention. Your training is consistent throughout your organization. There is no dilution of your leadership.

Final benefit that I can share with you. One low monthly fee, gives you unlimited webinars and online meetings. It allows you to maximise your time, leverage your leadership, and fast track your business's growth. The cost, about $100 per month gives you a full subscription for both webinar and meetings. Meetings can often found for less than $50 per month. The two webinar company links I included below offers a free one month trial.

You can see for yourself just how effective this technology is without risk.

So what is the downside? Well the subscription stays the same whether you use it or not. So if you are not using it, you are still paying for it. If the audience you are presenting to does not have a computer, they cannot see it. A high speed internet connection is preferable to dial up to prevent lag. If your prospect has dialup, their presentation may lag as well.

Just like no shows happen with the traditional meetings, the same happens with webinars. Expect a 25% attendance rate. More than 50% would be considered exceptional. Part of the reason for the no shows would be the resistance some people have to downloading software from the internet. Not everyone is as technical as we are. So they need to be reassured the download is safe.

As far as the technophobia is concerned, even downloading the webinar or meeting viewer can be intimidating. So make sure you explain the process step by step. Once you have used a webinar once or twice you will discover how fast you can build your business with it. It will soon become you most favourite weapon in your business building arsenal. See for yourself. You can register for a webinar absolutely without obligation by going to Wealthdisk.com

If you are ready to get started, Google the word webinar and explore your options. That is what I did. That took a lot of time to sift through all the options. The two providers I have used and can recommend highly are Webex and Go To Webinar.

I encourage you to explore the option of using the webinar to build your business. Whether your strategy is one on one, small group meetings, or large presentations, this technology will fit your needs. It will leverage your time, and allow you to build your business at home, sitting in your underwear if you like.
