At first I was a poser. Then I wrote a list of the people I had already talked to because I felt safe and it boosted my confidence to look and see what I had done so far. Now my list is 3 and growing. I will put my commitment in writing here today to add 15-20 people to my list, each week.

not written..... electronic means don't count as written lists :-)

139 left, was 200, and 42 have come into the business

My list is 0 as of today May 18 2010

I guess these few shows are going to make a huge difference. Im interested to improve my skill.

0 no written last prior to this video. Will start my candidates list right after this post. Thanks

I have about 60 people

182 - I keep them in an excel spreadsheet and add and drop about 10 per week. I need to do more. A lot more.

100

Arg!!
Alas I am a "poser", but that changes today! I've been at this for 2 months now so at least I can "nip the poser in the bud"!

105 right now...

I Have 121 people on my list

I have 101 right now

I have 207 on my list. Looking forward for the next show ...

Right now, at the moment of this post ZERO.

However, that is going to change!

I have a contact list of over 200 people. Not all are qualified but I'm afraid and unsure of how to approach them.

I will win the game of life... and i will win.... so im not a poster... lol

154... but i contine to add to the list.... i keep for get about people i know... lol

Ok I did make a list of about 160 but I have not worked it properly - I think I almost regressed from amateur to poser (poseur in the punk rock days ;-)). Good advice - looking forward to the next show.

Great point :) Randy Gage also makes this point

awesome view,let's develop this active and growing candidate list. there are 45 on my current written candidate list. i had more before but i exhausted that.

I have a list of at least 2,000 to 2500 people, growing everyday. I don't see how I can exhaust it. I keep going
over and over until someone comes aboard.

On my current list I have somewhere around 200 people on it as of today... I actually ran out of contacts from my phone at 95 people... The good thing for me is that when I go to events and I'm out and about I collect business cards from people and off of bulletin boards and I add those people to my list as well.

Hello Eric......

Just watched the show, as I take a stand and raise my ritgh-hand and shamefully announce " i have about 25 or 30 on my list" thats my MENTAL LIST.... :(

In the Business now just-over a year..... during that time NEVER HEARD ANY INFORMATION like the information you provide...

BIG thanks for the videos... I'm learning everyday

I appreciate your daily videos a great deal. Especially since I've decide to go pro network marketing. I'm learning more and more about the business every day - it's fantastic. Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge and being a source of inspiration.
I have 200 names on my list and I learnt to keep adding...
I wish you a perfect day.
Take care,

QOTD: 150

Zero :-(

I begin to write them down now :-)

Hello Eric,
good Video#51. My wife and me are amatuers in this industry living in Munich, Germany. We have about 80 people in our written list. We did not start jet, since we just signed up.
Best regards, Su & Arnaldo

45.... i used to have 130! :)

I have 100 people on my candidate list

Great job Eric.

Regards

XR

Eric

My list have 250 people, and never is below 200, always have more new people entering. I learn from you techings, 2 a day, works great, always have your bussiness open to capture oportities, in the past I allways let the oportunities pass in front of me, now I am always alert to catch them all!!!

It`s great to see this videos!!!


Luis

I have 51in my list----I need HELP---Thanks Eric for sharing this topic

Hello Eric
Currently on my list is 159 people.
And I do know that I need to learn how to extend this list everyday with new leads.

Regards

My written list is of 322 contacts from my cellphone, radio phone, messenger, facebook and clients

QOTD: Hi Eric, I have 63 people on my current list and trying to expand it as we speak.

I started with a written list of 53, from all those only one said yes. The rest all said, like you said, not now, maybe later... the list ran out, even thought I tried to talk them into the business I got the "it is enough, please don;t try to get me into this" And although I am not giving up (because I believe in what i do) the hopes are a little low now... thanks for sharing your videos!

Thank you, my list is of 64 contacts, then I stop because all of them said that network marketing was not for them.

Appreciate your time and effort and the motivation to do these series of teaching. Honestly speaking, i have only less than 30 prospects and i keep adding my list until i have stayed in this industry for a good 4years.
Get to know u in Facebook is a definite gateaway for me to learn and apply and be truly successful in this industry.

Hallelujah ! amen.

Hey Eric,

Thanks for this show and for the upcoming tips to come : )

My original list was about a hundred people (family, friends, coworkers...) but today I've hundreds of contacts as I'm learning how to grow it constantly (direct contact, networking, social media...) Some people are just 'new friends', some I approach directly depending on the context, both national and international, but I could learn still a lot on this matter!!! so waiting for tomorrow : )

Currently at 250, but looking forward to the upcoming videos to expand my list and business.

Thanks for all you are doing for the NWM community with this site, Eric. Much appreciated...

Best,
Scott

On my list is 65 people. I'm extremely excited for the show tomorrow. Talk about coincidences and for this i am truly thankful. I appreciate the work you are doing. Keep it up! Praise the Lord.

Great video Eric. A bad habit I have is collecting a bunch of business cards at networking events. I then intend to put them into my data base, but only sometime do. I then intend to follow up with them after the meeting, but only make few calls. I have around 100 in my data base. Now, does my 700 plus connections on facebook and 500 connections plus connections on twitter count?

Thank you,

Chris Grob

Great video Eric. I have about 25 people on my list. Looking forward to growing it in a big way, not only for myself but for my team. Watching these videos has helped tremendously, not only to increase my mental confidence, but my posture of how I present myself more confidently as a pro. I was one of these people that had a resistance to NM but that is now gone. The key is prospecting, recruiting and duplication. Looking forward to greater success.

Thank you very much for your leadership

i have 450 in my list

Adi

My pleasure Adi

You got me! I was one of those mental list guys, who just thumbed through his rolla-dex calling people. I just started a brand new list today. Thanks for the kick, I needed that.

Watch tomorrow's show on how to do it. Will help.

I have 325 people on my list. Great videos, thanks!

When I first got started over 4 years ago, I had 130 people on my list. Today I have over 6500 people on my list. I constantly add more people daily but even if I didn't, I could just work my existing list and never run out of people to talk to.

I figured out very early in my career that if I made sure I had way more people than I could ever talk to, I would have a much stronger posture when talking to prospects on my list. The reason why is because if they said no, I know I have so many other people on my list that I didn't care.

What did you do specifically to grow your list?

I talk about it in detail in my report that anyone can get for free by clicking on my name. However, the short answer is I did networking and I did marketing.

1. Networking - Getting referrals, getting out to events and meeting new people, going online to different websites and meeting people, getting prospect lists of distributors on my team that don't want to do the business anymore, clients from my businesses, etc.

2. Marketing - Buying business opportunity leads, advertising on pay per click search engines, advertising in home business magazines, advertising using articles and blogs, posting classified ads on the internet, a bunch of stuff.

Once you learn how to network and market you will never have a problem with having people to talk to. My biggest problem is prioritizing and deciding who I'm going to call because I have so many people that I could talk to.

QOTD 209. Thanks for the series.

QOTD - I have about 25 names. I Held my PBR and all said no. Unfortunately my "warm" maket was a little cold. Some even openly displayed a dislike for the taste of the product by making faces. I felt a little embarrassed and wish I hadn't invited any of them. Also, my spouse who was indifferent to my involvement is suddenly becoming very difficult and disapproving of what I'm doing. I know that if it is to be it is up to me, however, right now I'm feeling a little beaten and unsure of myself. The only bright spot is the encouragement we get to do our daily self-development. I'm gaining some new insights and realize that I'm a work in progress, but there's hope.

Keep your chin up Marsha. It happens from time to time.

QOTD. I have about 200 people on my list. I've talked to 166 but I got much more "No"s than "Yes"es.
Well, I realize that I am still an amateur because it's hard for me to find new contacts every day, but I keep learning how to do this.

Thank you for your encouraging words.

EVERYONE gets more No's than Yes's. No worries

Hi Eric,

Thank you for all of your insight and experience. I've been in the business for 18 months and currently have 500+ names, numbers and email addresses. I'm rather fortunate because my "primary" business and soon to be my "secondary" business affords me basically unlimited contacts. I am currently researching new opportunities. Any suggestions on that?

Mike

When I watched this clip
I had 0 names on my list as i have no interest hitting on family and friends in order to grow my business. because i find these people only say "oh so and so this will never pan out" you'll never succeed.

QOTD
148 on my contact list. 38 have said no, 2 have said yes, 15 have said maybe, and the rest - 93 I haven't yet contacted. I prejudge many of them to be born losers and some to be successful and busy - so I procrastinate and postpone calling them indefinitely.

Your 5 points of growing the list (via the COLD MARKET... HEEEEELP!!) make me very curious. Can't wait for your training. Thanks again

Eric,
What a great show. I'm soooo looking forward to tomorrow's.

QOTD: Well, uh, yeah....I guess I'm a poser (OUCH - you cut to the bone on this one)

Right now I have 334 people in my list

Thank you Eric. I only have about 10 if I am lucky. I was a Hermit for about 5 years now. Didn't want to talk to anyone. Had my own future plans that didn't include peopling.
I am now using your videos for training my team. When I take off 5 I add 5 more, always rotating up.

QOTD - Wow Eric, looking forward to the next couple of shows to gain more knowledge.

Presently have a written list of about 980 names - Only contacted 110 about the actually business opportunity - Signed up 20 personally on my Team - some have said NO--(and that's okay)- some have said NOT YET (and that's okay too) --so as Jim Rohn says "Law of Averages" does kick in. Just like in Baseball - bat 3 out of 10 times (pays you 4million a year)...Fail 7 times and still bat 300%...

Love your messages...Keep "em coming" my friend.

I forgot to add this, I have 539 friends on Facebook, and I think of them as my list as well, but it is not written is just there. But I think its a good start!
Federico

I have 112, I was continually updating it, but since cheating is out of the question, I haven´t added a new prospect in about 4 months. Shame on me!

Federico

My people list right now is around 500+/-

My candidate list is 1037 and needs pruning. Once upon a time I kept track of how many phone calls it took to get an interview appointment, how many appointments to get an interview, how many interviews to get a candidate, how many candidates to get a qualified one and how many qualifed to get someone enrolled. Besides the phone there are other ways to get interviews and for me most of them have turned out to be easier. Face to face interviews always work best but in today's internet world many of my interviews are long distance. Adding to the qualified candidate list is the list I will build in the days ahead. Knowing how and actually doing it has become an ever widening gap. Thank you Eric for making this opportunity.

All of that 87 people in my list are the warm contacts, I know this people very well and can talk with them. Some of them already in my team, some of them still thinking and there are some people who didn't have the information yet.
In this list I didn't put other 450 phone numbers, which I have in my cell.phone. Because a lot of them I didn't know very much. So I need to work also on this part of my list to make this contacts warmer.
Can't wait to see 5 things, which can help to growth up my list. :)

I have 110 people on my list.

Thank you for this!! We really need everything we can to improve our skills to become PRO and this video is very very helpful. Can't wait for the next one tomorrow!! I currently have 183 in my written list, though I have to admit I haven't written some people I've been contacting :S Guess I'm still an amateur, but I'm working to get to Pro.

Thanks again,
Yendi

Hi Eric :) I have 532 people in my current list, 400 I have already reached, 240 has been exposed, 31 said yes, the rest said no for now :) I have 132 to call for the first time, 160 in the 'call again' category :) Thank you very much for the reminder, I exposed 3 new people today, and added 2 on my list... :) And the list grows weekly!

QOTD Shame on me, stopped making a list...... just talk to people and give them my card but not making a list. BIG mistake!

Hi Eric, I have 135 names and im running out of contacts cant wait to see next show because is a subject that is starting to worry me. hopefully with your mentoring and your help we start to making that prospect list to never end...great show keep up the good work ...and again cant wait to see the next one..greetings from Quito-Ecuador-SouthAmerica

hola Eric, tengo 135 nombres y me estoy quedando sin contactos no puedo esperar a ver el proximo show ya que este es un tema que estaba empesando a preocupar..Ventajosamente con tu tutela y ayuda empesaremos a hacer la lista de prospectos interminable ...gran show continua con el gran trabajo ...y nuevamente no puedo esperar a ver el proximo...
Saludos desde Quito-Ecuador Sudamerica

I have a virtually endless list of people now. big thanks to mark yarnell and his holy grail training system. its not about who you know, its about how many people you can reach with a rejection free way. keep up the great work eric!

I have about 45. I go to events whenever possible, talk to new people, get their info and call them to start building a relationship, then ask who do they know? My list is always changing. If I had more, I couldn't keep up.

Hi Eric,
Great episode can wait to hear more…..
Sorry for the long post, but this is an area in which I am very interested.
I have 655 on my list organized by country, already talked to about 80, mailed about 70. Some of the candidates on the list are people with which the relation is not very close but are form the near past others I have not talked to in the last 5 yrs. and some in more that 10 to 20 yrs. These are people that I have found through Fbook or other; I have gone back 15 years on my working carrier and up to 20 to 30 years in my school years, so people that I went to High school with and even middle school are on my list.
How to approach these people? I have heard to positions
1. Go ahead and call them and give them a first look tool. Through mail not very good results.
2. Build the relationship back up and when the time comes present the opportunity. Trying this one out, this is time consuming.
My statistics:
Of all that I have called and given the first look tool personally (warmest market), 80% say they are interest. The other 20% say not interested or won't even answer mi follow up call, they all go back to the list to be called at later time.
Out of every 10 that I invite to a PBR 1 or 2 show up
For every 10 that go to PBR 1 signs up.
I normally invite to PBR 3-4 times anyone person, after that I put them back on the list to call in a few months.
My current issue:
Having gone through the persons of my list that are the warmest market, I have to progressively approach the less warm market on my list. As the market gets less warm the number go down, and contacting them is harder gto do, I have not been so consistent with this market as I get discourage at times, but I get back up on the horse and keep trying.
Basically, I would very much appreciate any and all input regarding how to approach the less warmer market, and also which media to use. In many cases I have no phone number for some of the people on my list, so I use e-mail, and with, e-mail the numbers get really bad out of 40 e-mails maybe 1 or 2 take the time to look at the information.
Cheers
Jose

I have about 50 names.
CAN'T WAIT TOMORROW and learn how increase my list!
Thank you for teach us
to be SUCCESSFULL and gain about 3 years of bad leads!
Doris Bloch - Caracas - Venezuela

QOTD: I have 500 names, and though I have already contacted some, I don't know the appropriate way to reach the majority of them (I've been out of touch for a few years) without sounding that I'm contacting them because of the business, which is true although they're in the list because I like them. Can you share how you did this yourself with those people on the list?

Thanks for the episode; it showed me accurately how much of an amateur I am. It lets me know I am on the right path to Pro.

40 to 350. depend on which list. Not very organized. cant wait to learn how to list properly.

nice list a see here, I have only 30 people on my list.

35 and working on being a professional!

QOTD: Hi Eric, thanks so much for tackling this subject, can't wait for tomorrow's show. I currently have 168 names on my list and try to add to it every day. Going through that list is another story! Looking forward to you advice on that one!!!

QOTD “How many prospects do you have on your written list right at this moment?”

Ah (cough, cough)... avoiding eye contact... (cough). Time to get to work.

Thanks Eric. My feet are MUCH warmer now. Ouch!
I appreciate you.

that's funny!

I have about 180 people on my list. Still need to talk to half of them...

Let's see ... on my written list, 216, in my "prospects to be entered" (into ACT) file, there's another 62, In my planner, there's got to be 15 or 20.... anyone see a recurring pattern here? As with my personal battle with keeping my office space clear and free of the piles that seem to create themselves, I get so caught up in the "needing" to have it all in one spot before i can "get to" making a quality contact (meaning a phone call, personal note, etc... vs. a "newsletter" type of a note/invite/etc) Very much have fallen into the trap of "ugh...this list is rather lifeless"... ;) I am fortunate to have the ability to meet & connect with people quickly, however, the follow up, urgency, and consistency is where I am clearly needing to develop skills. Knowing what I know, I think one of the best things I could do for my life and my business would be to consistently do the things that I need to do on a DAILY basis... then, there wouldn't be so much anxiety and stress around the last minute "inviting" etc... focus more on the BEING a professional than the DOING of the "stuff" that is not A-Level Activity.
Thank you for all that you do my friend...you are a gift.

QOTD
I'm still bad with my list, it's only 87 people. But now I'm working on it! There are a lot of people, which I didn't put yet in my list.
As usual, I'm not a person who make friends by Internet or in some community or some where else. But now I start to do it. It's fun. There are a lot of interesting people. So thanks to our Profession, that we need to change some our habits. We need to learn more and to practice more.
Thanks Eric, that you are sharing with us your experience.
Marina

Qotd:
I have 175 people on my list at this moment. About a fourth of them I have been talking to; half of them I have been emailing to. So enough to do for me. And have to grow my list, add more people to it.
Have to go and meet people more than I do now.
Thanks for your help, Eric.
Regards
Stella

QOTD: I really did not want to answer this QOTD. I scored very poorly here, this may be the best topic for me to date.

okay... I just counted my most current list in my biz plan and it's got only 59 names and it's not even a fresh list either so this is def an area I need to work on. Really looking forward to this series! I must give this topic much attention!

QOTD: Hmmmm...25 on my active list...YES! PLEEEEEZE teach me how to keep this list active, growing, and vibrant - suspect that prospecting is the bottleneck for me...

Dear Eric
I accept your challenge.
I'll follow your guidance.

My total list is 250.
106 candidate that I haven't spoke to them - yet.
36 that I need to get back to them.
102 said No.
6 said yes.

Thanks
Moty

Well I gotta tell you that this was a coincendent that I was talking to a good friend and partner today about this very subject. We were just talking about our resources and contact list that we are just "TAPPED OUT"! The opportunity we are in is just not sharing the big picture like Mr. Eric is doing. From my understanding up to this point it seems that what they are teaching the beginners and intermediate (that's what I call it) people is basically all about recruiting our "WARM MARKET" and is not necessarily in our favor. I feel this is why majority of people who joins this type of industry never do make it. Is any one here in the N.F.L? "NO FRIENDS LEFT"!lol! Anyways, can we give Mr. Eric a big round of applause! Phenomenal but down to earth! Can't wait for the next show!


I have 3 people that I wrote in my list before this video. Like I said, I'm tapped out!

138 people on my growing list. Have called less than 50% of them, emailed but not spoken to less than that very same 50%. Have not reached out to more than 10 people more than 5 times. The list is growing, but because my memory comes up with names of people going back decades and in several countries.

Very much looking forward to the continuation of this Professional and expert advice.

Love NMP!

hi Eric
i cant see clearly what you are getting out of all this
but shore enough we get so much
thank you

Wow,Thanks to this great video,Eric !
I so missed these videos and SO NEED IT !!
I have to concentrate my lists,but now it's about 90-100 names..
and this is exactly what I'm doing - "constantly adding new names to my list", bringing people from "cold" market to my "warm" market .

THANK YOU !!
G.K.

Thanks for the video Eric. I look forward to the future videos.

J.R.

Hello Eric,

I can't wait to see the next shows, because this is a subject that I really need to work on to become successful.
Presently I have 124 names on my list. :-)
Thanks for this video series!
