TEAM STARS

 Your Own Business

We've made it easy for you to invite and follow up with your contacts.  On the right, you will find invitation templates.  These are just some email templates that we have used and found to be quite effective.  After your contacts have viewed a presentation, you put them on a Weekly Update list. Develop an email list whereby you can keep them informed with brief updates about trading and how you are doing.  Below the Invitation Templates on the right, there are the Weekly Update Templates.  These are some examples of weekly updates that we send to our contact list. 

Tips from Freya

Weekly Update -Freya
I follow up with my contacts weekly by sending them updates on new things happening with Trading Post, on special conference calls for guests, live meetings happening locally, brief personal updates (if it's my birthday, a holiday or something special going on - like last summer when I had Lasik done). Sometimes I just remind them it's a great time to learn to trade on the Forex and send them my site to watch the presentations!  It's just important to keep in touch, and most people appreciate being "kept in the loop" :)

Weekly Update List -Freya
I send Weekly Updates to all my FX contacts. I use Outlook Express, and put the designation in the Home Phone slot, and phone number in Business Phone slot. I use the designation/Home Phone slot to sort all my email addresses. For example, "family" or "friend". For business, if someone is interested in learning about a new life skill where they can make money with their computer and internet connection, or just want to know what I'm working on these days, they get a "Icon" designation. Once they've viewed the presentation, I change their designation to "FX", then to "FX IN" when they've joined the team. With my weekly updates, I sometimes change the email a bit for the "Icon" folks - just to keep it simple for them.

How to Become a 5 Star - by Vance

People have asked me how to do the business.  The business is simple.  Ask anyone on the team who has actively shared this with others and been successful and they will tell you the same thing.  1. Get people to the presentations 2. Put them on an email list and send them new information weekly.  If you are wondering where to find people, then you are not ready to share this business with people, anymore than you would be ready to share a restaurant you simply don't love.

I don't consider "casual" referring (above) as building a business.  It can turn into a business later, no question, but that's not a business. Business is something a bit more involved.  It involves a commitment.  The biggest difference between the casual referrer and 5 Star business person can be seen in a simple American breakfast.  Take bacon and eggs, for example:  The chicken was involved, but the pig was definitely committed.  And that is how I feel when I get involved in a business. It's a big deal.  Anything worth doing is worth doing well, as they say.  But I cannot do a good job unless I know myself and the business.

So becoming a 5 Star is a much, much bigger deal.  It's treating network building like a business.  The rewards are much different, too. Remember that you are now stepping into the biggest market in the world - WHILE it is in its infancy, no less.

What is a Leader?

I see us building something.  This website is simply a method of communicating what we are doing to build the house, so to speak.  It is here for anyone to see.  This plan is so strong that there is no need to spend countless hours trying to motivate others.  If making millions trading and building a network are not enough motivation - if really helping people is not enough motivation, anything I could say would be, at best, a temporary distraction. So my plan is to show, as much as possible, exactly how we do things.
