Bill Farley (Zrii) Interviews Peter Thomas (Century 21)

Bill Farley, the Founder and CEO of Zrii ( Original Amalaki) had a special interview conference call tonight with Peter Thomas..former owner of Century 21 Real Estate for the entire country of Canada. The focus of the call was primarily on what makes a good salesperson.

As an internet attraction marketer, some of the shared information felt very "old school" to me. But there were tidbits of information that were also pieces of gold for anyone in business for themselves. Here is Peter Thomas's list entitled "Rules For Success"

1. Keep it simple
2. Ignore those who say it can't be done
3. Work smart not hard
4. Become a student of your career--learn EVERYTHING you can about what you are doing
5. Don't be an innovator--learn from those who came before and do it better
6. Emulate the best but keep your own spin and personality
7. Write down everything
8. Stay focused--visualization, inspiration, reflection
9. Act enthusiastic--even if it's a bad day--your acting will change the flow of the day
10. Be persistent
11. Practice delegation--this is good leadership
12. Avoid extensive meetings
13. Don't be afraid to make mistakes
14. Have at least 5 mentors
15. Get up early
16. Have fun

I think we'd all agree that this list is relevant whether you're a door-to-door salesperson or a an internet marketer..and whether you're selling a single health product or a series of educational workshops. Please feel free to contact me for mentoring information and assistance in putting these ideals into action.

Zrii Is Tipping The Scales For Women

When was the last time that you heard of a network marketing company that was NOT female oriented (like Arbonne or Mary Kay), focus on developing specific training and support for women? What is going on presently in Zrii is just amazing!!

Though in its infancy, Zrii Women are developing a means for educating, supporting, mentoring and encouraging women that will be a benchmark in the industry. Women will grow as leaders through this program, mentored by other successful women. The women of Zrii are creating incredible synergy and energy as they band together to work and to learn. They will grow as a powerful female force to assist each and every one to be the best they can be and to reach for their dreams.

This is innovation! This is network marketing as it should be! This is Zrii!! I am so blessed to be a part of it. I am equally blessed to be a mentor to the women in my organization as together we Reach For The Stars!! Feel free to contact me through this website.

Most Network Marketers Are Women

According to the industry statistics, even after you remove the "women oriented" companies, like Mary Kay and Arbonne, women are still the majority in the network marketing industry. In fact, 70% of network marketers are women. So one of the most innovative companies in network marketing is tailoring some of their presentations and training specifically to women, and the response is fabulous.

At the recent Zrii Rising Star Academy in Salt Lake City, over 800 people spent two full days learning in depth information as to how to market their business and improve their results and the lives of others. In that context, there was a presentation which focused entirely on women. Four strong women Independent Executives from the field talked not only about their philosophy and success techniques, but also about validity of women doing this business differently than men. I know, from the response of the audience, that there was collective female sigh of relief when this was spoken.

Unfortunately, like most businesses in this country, the top IE's in this new company are primarily men. But the powerful women in Zrii are rising to the top and have made it clear that women can use their inherent passion and excellent communication skills to succeed in this business, even if they approach it differently than the men. Women have the flexibility to use techniques that work for the men---when they want to---but also to use their amazing right-brained female skills to relate to people in a unique manner as well. What that does is to level the playing field, so to speak.

In Zrii, women are respected for what they bring to the organization. From training presentations to women specific conference calls, Zrii is making sure that women in this company know how much they are appreciated. If you'd like to know more about this, please feel free to contact me.

Zrii Training in Salt Lake City

When you went to high school or college, you were probably not trained well in how to succeed in the real world. You learned academics. Some of you received a practical type degree and learned how to repair car engines, or build airplanes. Even with a higher level graduate degree in business or professions, you do not learn how to really DO IT.

I know. I have two Master's Degrees. The one in education did not teach me how to teach. Though it did teach me an amazing amount about children and education. My Social Work degree did not teach me how to be a social worker in private practice. I learned a lot of theory, but the practical part was learned during internships and my first jobs.

In network marketing, so many people focus on enrolling others and then some try and do training with their team. Unfortunately this is often like the blind leading the blind, since so many people are trying to help others while they, themselves, are not yet successful in this industry. That is why I just love what is happening in Salt Lake City this coming Friday and Saturday.

Zrii is offering a two day "University". The topic of study will be "How to Be Successful in Your Zrii Business". They will focus on everything from product knowledge to intense training in recruiting and duplication. This is the first Zrii School. It will reconvene once every quarter of the year..that is...4 times per year. The teachers are people who do know how to DO IT. They are the ones who are already successful in network marketing and in Zrii. Isn't that who you would want to learn from?

Stay tuned as I post updates from Salt Lake City this weekend and let you know how it is going.
