When managing a company, one of the most important things to do is monitoring employee productivity and performance. It can rarely be guaranteed that employees are constantly working to their maximum productivity, as there is a strong possibility that they may relax when not monitored closely. Depending on the type of business, this task could be relatively easy or difficult.

One method of following performance is through setting specific targets for workers. Therefore if targets are not met, it can be ascertained that the worker may not have been working productively. Another method is to set particular tasks, with a rough idea of how long the task takes for completion. Through this it is possible to monitor performance with the time taken to complete each task.

However it is not always possible to use these particular methods. With this in mind, more and more companies are turning to mystery shopping as a solution to their monitoring needs. Mystery shoppers are people who are hired to test your services and give detailed reports on their findings. This allows companies the chance to find out how their employees deal with customers. They can assess product knowledge, behaviour and attitude, and general customer service skills. A company can also tailor the mystery shopping reports to focus on key areas, where employees could be performing poorly or simply areas which need improvement.

The mystery shopping reports can come in various formats. Some companies may choose something simple such as a questionnaire that is filled out by the mystery shoppers following their experience with the company. This would allow the company to pick specific questions or worries they have about their employees. For more in-depth analysis, companies can request a full audio or video recording of the mystery shopping experience. The company could then take their time to go through each recording to analyse a specific employee’s performance. This is more appropriate to small companies or ones which would have the time to carry out the in-depth analysis required.

This method of monitoring employee performance has proved to be very effective since its introduction. Many large corporations now employ this technique on a regular basis to aid them in improving employee ability and focus on areas where they may be struggling. It also allows companies to test employees dealing with new initiatives or products being rolled out. Mystery shopping provides effective independent analysis of employee performance and for this reason and many others; it will be around for many years to come.

Harry is a business consultant and has been fortunate enough to work with several successful companies. During his career, he has seen the various techniques used to monitor employee performance including mystery shopping.

The competition is fierce and ad budgets are tighter than ever. If you’re looking to boost profits and gain market share, there are some things you can do to gain a bigger piece of the pie.

Give your product a distinct personality.
OfficeMax’s Rubber-Band Guy is an instantly identifiable, highly memorable character that has boosted sales and brand recognition. It personifies the brand while selling the message that whatever customers need they can get at OfficeMax.

Give them an interesting history lesson.
Some of the most common products we use today have the most interesting development histories. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, left historical records of a powder made from the bark and leaves of the willow tree to help heal headaches, pains and fevers. By 1829, scientists discovered that the salicin in willow plants was the key ingredient in aspirin, which was later repackaged and marketed by Bayer.

Sing your product’s praises.
Create a memorable catchy song, poem or jingle that that hooks in people’s minds. Gillette sold millions of razor blades using “The Best a Man Can Get,” which continues to stick in consumers’ heads, leaving a positive impression about the product’s unbeatable performance.

Re-package your product for the customer.
Create new convenience packaging that makes your product easier to buy, use or refill. Motor oil used to be sold in cans that required a punch-in can opener or separate punch-through spout. These were messy and troublesome to use. Now oil is sold in twist-open, easy-pour plastic bottles.

Let consumables take the lead.
Drop the price of your product, then promote and sell its consumables. Computer printers can be bought for as little as $20, yet the ink cartridges sell for $29 apiece. So don’t worry about making a big profit on devices, let your consumables take the lead.

Use viral marketing.
Viral marketing is any word-of-mouth or “tell a friend” mechanism that induces users to re-convey a marketing message to other sites or users. Leveraged by the power of the web and email, viral techniques can create exponential growth in your product’s visibility.

Customize your product.
Try to give customers exactly what they want by creating apparently customized versions of your product. Consider the success of Cycle 1, 2, 3, 4 Pet Foods, or Burger King’s “Have it Your Way.”

Go high tech.
Exploit the latest technological advancements in media to underscore your message. For example, explore the use of audio chips in magazines, brochures or mailers. The novelty of these devices gets people talking, and there’s that “V” word again (viral marketing).

Promote product sharing.
This can be done by showing how your product brings friends and family together. An emotional appeal like this can be very memorable. A good example is Almond Joy’s, “you can share half and still have a whole.” Another is the ubiquitous Friends-and-Family discount, which abounds in everything from cell phones to vacation packages.

Show your product being used by experts.
If possible, establish your product as the one used by recognized experts in the field. A case in point is Canon’s use of photojournalists to endorse its 35mm cameras.

Make your product sui generis.
Establish the fact that your product is generically in a class by itself. Consider Porsche’s use of the line “there is no substitute.” Or products that have become household words: “blow your nose with a Kleenex,” or “make me a Xerox copy.”

Think outside the demographic box.
Attract a new category of customers by thinking outside the box. Consider gaining younger or older buyers by expanding the utility and style of your product, e.g., cell phones for ‘tweens, or health bars for seniors.

Regardless the controversy that the term Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or Network Marketing brings to mind when mentioned in a conversation, the success of such an industry cannot be denied at the moment.

The long existence of multitudes of MLM organizations is a wonderful indicator that network marketing is here to stay and flourish. As such, additional people are trying to join the bandwagon, building their own MLM .

But, a lot of people are completely misguided or misinformed resulting into the collapse of several network marketing businesses. True that it is difficult to maintain multi-level marketing that could proliferate well, but undoubtedly there is one key component for a network marketing organization’s success, and that is a duplicating downline.

Most people do not know how to build a duplicating downline, but hopefully with the tips to be presented, one may be able to gather a well generating force that almost immediately translate into a productive MLM business.

Multi-level marketing certainly entails leadership, specifically when building a downline. Since building a downline is only another designation for the recruitment process, great people management skills is important in order for the downline to operate well, and thus duplicate.

A lot of people think that network marketing is a self-generating business, but if that was the case, then no MLM organization would have had failed. Downlines certainly not duplicate on their own, even if the product being marketed is perfect. The people in the downline are to be trained and mentored well or else the business would take no direction and would lastly fall flat.

The person on top of the downline may be able to sign multitudes, but that does not guarantee duplication. Without a clear direction, the network would not expand towards success, but instead be paralyzed. The ones on top may easily put the blame on the ones at the bottom, but who recruited the people down there anyway’ Managing a multi-level marketing organization entails a lot of generosity and selflessness.

Duplicability is after all not just the expansion of people in number, but the duplication of the success throughout all the people in the downline.

It is a sad fact in human life that a lot of people think only for themselves. The people on top could think only of their success and see the ones under as nothing but machines to propagate the success. But that cannot happen in multi-level marketing.

In order for the top to succeed, the bottom should be able to succeed as well. When building a downline, one should have a mindset that allows the success to trickle downwards, and not just to remain on top.

The founder of the network marketing organization should be very conscious that what he or she was able to do, the people in the downline could do perfectly as well. There should be no secrets within the organization for the downline to duplicate.

The topline should be able to share and teach the downline the same philosophies and techniques so that the success of the top could be replicated by people in the downline.

Building a duplicating downline actually means duplicating one’s self. This means that when building a downline, one does not just inform people how to sell, rather, one influences or even infects others with one whole self, well at least just the business component of one’s self.

When building a downline, one has to transmit the psyche of the top to the bottom, the bottom should be able to act in the same way as the ones on top.The downline ultimately becomes one with their organizer or founder, they should be able to share the same dreams, anxieties and hopes so that the success that the ones on top experienced would be replicated by the ones on the bottom.

This speaks a lot about the recruitment process itself. True that is hard to enlist exact copies of the founder, but one has to carefully enjoin individuals who have the capacity to act and think in the same wavelength as the recruiter.

In this light, the leader of a network marketing organization should reflect and see how the connection with the downline, or the prospective downline is. First one has to be sure if the people in the downline could relate with the leader and vice-versa. Duplication is unachievable without proper relation. Second, the leader should act in a way that is not so alienating to the downline, otherwise they might think too highly of the leader that they might assume they would never be able to be like him or her.

Again a duplicating downline should have a duplicable top. With this in mind, building a duplicability can be ensured as well as the success of the business.

Perhaps “blogging” isn’t such a graceful word. For me, personally, it sounds like a worded drudgery the way cereals can be soggy, skies can be foggy, and the way minds can be groggy. But for now, it’s too late to rename this shortened word for web-logging. Widespread blogging is nevertheless one of the most engaging Internet developments of the past few years. As a medium it gives rise to many new and worthy voices and plays a new and vital force in shaping opinions, political realities, trends, and even our language.

I believe that a blog is simply a tool to use for someone who’s got something to say. Let me be clear in saying that a blog is a poor choice for someone who needs a megaphone to scream out to cyberspace in order to elicit a meaningful response from Internet users. If you want attention and want it now and expect blogging to bring it to you, then this will surely be a disappointment. However, if you like to write and engage others on subjects of which you have some command or experience, then it’s a wonderful application with which you can interact with people who share similar interests as you. The hype is well founded.

Anyway, here’s a list of blogging tips…

1.) Be topical.
Cohesiveness in message is not optional. Readers may or may not be interested in your topic, but if your message is haphazard that few will bother remembering to return to your blog because it essentially would offer nothing to remember. This doesn’t mean blogs can’t jump from subject to subject. For instance, a blog with a humorous focus has all the leeway in the world for subject matter, but it would be foolish for such a blog to turn the humor on and off. In such an example, the aspect of humor would be content’s glue, the strength of the blog. The beauty of staying on point and on topic is that eventually, due to the nature of the Internet, you will find those interested solely in your topic. (as opposed to online diaries. There are millions of them on the internet, few have any readers. Email me with examples if I’m wrong and I’ll be able to show you why you’re showing me a blog and not a diary.)

2.) Refresh your content
Create a schedule and stick to it. Realizing that blogging requires time and effort, don’t create unrealistic expectations and be unable to deliver. An occasional lapse or holiday is generally understood but readers returning to find stale, out-dated content are going to find another blog with similar content. New blogs and RSS feeds are popping up on a daily basis. If you have worked hard to develop an audience and a community you don’t want to lose them due to lack of communication.

And remember, what’s old is not new and, for blogs, thusly not interesting. 2006 isn’t the time to rail against Enron or Vanilla Ice. Insight doesn’t matter much to yesterday’s news.

3.) Clear Language Counts.
Blessed is the blog with a clear line of logic. Write without inside jokes, clique-y catchphrases or ambiguous logic. First time readers need to be close to your message. They are more likely to return to blogs that strike them positively. If the first read is confusing there will not be a second read.

4.) Feed the Spiders.
Search engines take notice of active blogs and blog search engines are especially sensitive to activity. If nothing else, search engines are smarter today than they were yesterday and are only getting smarter. In constantly improving they are seeking to aggregate quality; quality blogs are updated several times a week, if not daily, as opposed to once or twice a month. I don’t mean to scare you but a big spider is watching, so dance for them.

5.) RSS.
Think of RSS like a magic to blogging world, because that’s the effect it’s had. RSS feeds are a way to exponentially sound your voice to the interested. These feeds are a great means to increase the distribution and readership of your original content.

6.) Spell check.
Hey man, use the spell-check. I do – if I didn’t you probably wouldn’t have made it to #6. It only takes a minute and can save you from looking like a hack.

Your weblog audiences will be small at first. And, frankly, that’s the way it should be. Who are you to think that half the internet will flock to you after three or four posts of your blog, anyway?

If you tough it out while maintaining quality, readership will materialize. You will link to good, relevant blogs and, in turn, they will to you. While your voice may be unique, your niche likely isn’t and if your content is emitted smartly to the Internet those relevant readers will respond through readership and interaction. That I guarantee.

I have been involved with the network marketing industry for over 9 years since I was just 18 years old. One interesting thing I always noticed over the years is that any personal can be the top income producer within an MLM company and of course sometimes these companies eventually go under. Now if you look even more closely you will then notice that the top income producer will move onto another MLM company and after around 6 months or so he is now the top income earner in his new MLM company. This should now suggest to you that there is a very powerful MLM secret yet to be exposed to you because this has happened many times to many top income producers which tells you there is a reason behind it. The reason behind it is a secret that you have not yet been shown.

When it comes to building an MLM downline there is one thing that just completely passes most people and it is this one thing that could make all the difference to yourself when building your network marketing business. You see building an MLM downling in all honesty comes down to just one element and that one element is yourself. The top income producer I was referral to above may have been around the industry for years and possibly even mastered their skills over that peiod of time whilst gaining experience to benefit them for a lifetime. But also remember the top income producer has also developed a reputation for being a fantastic leader in the network marketing industry and it is your reputation along with your manner that will make the biggest decision as to how well you succeed within network marketing.

A crucial element of building your network marketing business is to approach prospects for your MLM business however when you approach a prospect you must remember that they will not make a decision before checking out your reputation. The information you provide to your prospect about your business opportunity will always be less important to them than your reputation as people will always buy people. Of course if this was a family member, friend or someone who trusts you then their decision would be already made however when they have no idea who you are they will check out your reputation before joining your MLM company.

You have to position and posture yourself as a leader in the industry. Especially when your starting out in the network marketing industry you must demonstrate leadership qualites clearly to those around which can also mean taking control of the conversation from the beginning. Always remember no matter how long you have been with your MLM company even if it is just one week you will always have more experience than the new person who has just entered the network marketing industry today.

Leaders are defined by the law of attraction and as a leader you will draw people to you. In order to attract prospects in this manner you will have to brand yourself effectively on the internet for prospects to them seek you out. All of the above is the reason and secret as to why any top income producer can move from one MLM company to another whilst reminaing a top income producer due to their branding of themselves along with the connections they have made with their prospects.

You will always notice that these top income producers appear on the surface to have built their MLM downline with extremely little effort. The reason for this is because they are very much in the spotlight due to their position of leadership and this gives them credibility making sponsoring so much easier. Not many people will join an MLM company as they will mostly join a sponsor that they feel can lead them to MLM success.

There are a few things that most new internet entrepreneurs really do not take the time to consider and these are listed below.

The reasons why they wish to be involved in internet marketing, possibly even as an internet mentor and success coach?

Level of experience within internet marketing and of course how successful they have been?

Have they enough knowledge to allow them to run a successful business on the internet and act as a success coach for others?

In the industry of internet marketing there is a common failure rate of 97%, this is the percentage of internet marketing businesses that fail due to their lack of knowledge and the fact that often their success coach or mentor is not giving them the level of help they require. The amount of people I have seen over the last 10 years get involved in an internet business, not realising that the odds are stacked against them when it comes to becoming an internet success. Most of these people have the idea where they think the internet is responsible for printing money on auto pilot once they have their website online. However shortly after comes the unfortunate reality that starting an internet marketing business where you work from home on the internet really is a lot of hard work requiring consistent effort along with commitment and dedication.

Despire any of the above I still get amazed on a day to day basis at the level of power the internet really has throughout the world. In order to properly utlilise internet marketing to gain power and leverage your time to become successful you really need to gain control of the capability of all that the internet has to offer.

In the world of Internet Marketing there is often alot of hype that is very much rampant on the internet as this can often be a massively big task on its own the key for you is to stay focused and simply cut straight through it all. A knowledgable success coach will certainly be able to guide you throughout the process of seperating which is relevant and worthwhile from what is just rubbish. Any experienced internet marketing coach with a successful proven track record within this industry of internet marketing should be able to take you from strength to stregth along with help and encouragement.

Some people still feel that Internet Marketing is very much new in the business world however I firmly believe that enough time has past and a signficant number of experienced competitors have now developed. Seasoned internet marketers are available in the thousands and they are also very ready to take on competition therefore you must enter the industry of Internet Marketing along with the correct tools so to make sure you are not vulnerable. When it comes to pay per click advertising and Google search engine rankings there are many thousands of Internet Marketers competing and bdding for the same keywords however if you go back just a few years there was a lot more space for the new Internet Marketer to play with. As a result this has made Internet Marketing paid advertising become much more expensive and you can see evidence of this when you look at how Google AdWords used to charge pennies for keywords when now they are charging as much as $15 per keyword. What you need to do is be very careful when organising a marketing budget and be careful how you target your traffic. Always keep in mind that there is a lot more free advertising methods available to you also.

Any business can be challenging however when it comes to an Internet Marketing business it becomes even more challenging than traditional business and this is why you have to ensure you develop the right skill sets. Internet Marketing is and always will be a very fast industry where changes really are happening all of the time therefore you have to be able to keep up with it whilst remaining fully informed. The above is exactly what makes this an amazing industry to be involved with. You should always make sure you have someone to speak to about your products or services as this will ensure that Internet Marketing is not extremely daunting and overwheling for you. This is one of the most important reaons why you should have an Internet Marketing coach who can give you the boost that you will need from time to time and they can give you advice and help you to move forward based on their past experience.

Whenever anyone moves into a new industry or new are of work the key to maintaining success it networking in order to build relationships and of course this is exactly the same within Internet Marketing. You are fortunate to have the internet on your side where you can take full advantage of social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter and myspace which are now able to rank in the top ten Google sites. These are all areas where your Internet Marketing success coach will be available to guide you through the process of how to network simply by introducing you to his own network where you can meet like minded Internet Marketing or business professionals.

Lastly when you start within the industry of Internet Marketing ensure that you take what is available for you to get in order to have a head start giving you the edge upon your competition and always remember that if yo ugo into it alone or without experience you will be more likely to become part of the 97% failure rate. Many simply become a statistic however you can avoid that simply if you equip yourself with the correct information and tools allowing you to operate your business seriously. The main key to success is to work harder on yourself and your personal development because this will fuel your business to grow and develop.

I have been almost 10 years now working from home on the internet full time within internet marketing and one of the things I have done is looked around at other internet entrepreneurs to see that on a daily basis social networking has fast become a very important part of their daily plan of action. One of the reasons being is because they all have a desire to attract new prospects, clients and customers for their business or opportunity. Some are also looking for new employment and then of course you have a large percentage of the population who simply use social networking as a platform to keep in contact with existing friends whilst locating old contacts as well.

One of the reasons that we have been focused to become more pro-active in our business life is due to the most recent economic downturn. The current situation does not matter because it is still a buyers market where that buyers market is in Internet Marketing, the job market and even business in general. In order to succeed you have to be noticed and in order to be noticed you have be pro-active. The above statement is extremely true within social networking.

However one of the key aspects to remember is that not every single social network website is equal to the other. Each and every social networking website has certain features and functionalities that you will need to get to know in order to gain the most from them and utitlise them properly. I do not suggest for a moment that you use many different social networking websites and it is for that reason I use 5 social networking websites to share my skills, services and business with other internet marketing entrepreneurs. My main goal is to keep my profile standing out so that other internet marketing entrepreneurs and people in general keep it in their mind therefore on their shortlist when they require services in my area of expertise.

Below you will find the social networking websites I use and detailed information to use those social networking websites effectively.

The first social networking website I will share with you today is Plaxo which has an approach that many considre to be very similar to LinkedIn. Plaxo is very much designed to allow you to exchange current status information about each member and of course yourself therefore alot like twitter. With Plaxo there is not a concept of connection levels which means you are either connected to someone or you are not. I do like the Plaxo integration tools in particular as I consider them very easy to use and professional.

When it comes to Ecademy this is a social networking website that I use every single day or every week. I love the Ecademy impressive SEO feature as this will get you onto the Google index map in absolutely no time at all. If you take the task to create a Google alert with your name along with your profile on Ecademy then you will see just how very fast Google places you into their Index.

In the beginning I was using Ecademy for SEO purposes and of course expanding my network. Then I quickly realised that the very best way to use Ecademy it to quite simply connect with as many like minded entrepreneurs as you8 possibly can which then keeps your profile on the top of the members list and of course Google index. I would also say that if you work Ecademy properly then it will product professional connections that will expand your business activities in a lucrative manner. They have a great presence in the UK, Europe and the USA.

When it comes to LinkedIn they really are one of the very good social networking sites as many business professionals are members of LinkedIn and they also use it on a daily basis allowing them to remain in contact with their business contacts. The main concept of LinkedIn is to network both with existing and new contacts and this is a concept that works extremely well allowing you to extend your network while maintaining a solid business relationship.

When using LinkedIn the key to real success is of course to be very active within the community. Some great ways to be active are to ask questions, provide answers to the questions of others, join groups, update your status and of course join groups where you can then have discussions.

Another social networking community is Naymz and this is proven to be a very successful networking platform. What you need to do to become a successful Naymz networker is simply take your time to review each and every contact as it is important that for each contact you provide an assessment. Other people will give you their assessment anonymously and this counts towards your reputation because the higher your RepScore then the higher your Naymz reputation will be and of course you will then be more successful. The last feature that is important is the way in which Naymz will monitor the internet for any mention of your name where it will then provide you with the details for you to review which means you can maintain your reputation online simply by being aware of any potential harmful information.

Hopefully within this article I have given you a clearer understanding of what it takes to be successful within social networking and of course I hope you are comfortable with the social networks I have recommended to you.

Once you have made the all important decision to use social networking platforms as part of your online marketing strategy for your internet marketing business. However first of all you must plan your strategy in great detail quite simply because when you do anything new you have to understand the rules of the game which in otherwords means you must understand your new internet marketing platform in order to produce an effective result when engaging with the others on the social networking platform. When the marketing platform is different your style needs to be different from your other marketing styles.

In the past with commercial marketing you will notice when the television commercial came onto the television the volume of the commercial marketing would always be much higher than that of the television program that is being shown. The reason for this is to make you stop what you are doing and get your full attention. However if you where to employ this marketing strategy on a social networking platform you would quite possibly end up accused of spamming. You see social networking is not about selling to people however it is about networking and builing relationships which is why relationships will have to be the main focus of your new internet marketing strategy allowing you to take full advantage of the mraketing opportunity that awaits you.

At this stage you now need to start thinking about preparing your buyer to take action, if you are utilising social networking properly it will build very strong relationships with your future customers therefore letting you prepare your customers to take much more action. Social networking should be looked upon like a community where you treat it almost like a sales funnel and start making friends with like minded individuals interested in your product or service. Of course the ultimate goal is to get these prospects signing up to your e mail marketing list once they have become your friend on Facebook. The idea then is everytime you correspond with them your relationship should develop further. Once they have been interested in yourself along with the product you offer for a while then they should be almost ready to buy which means they have now proceeded further into your sales funnel where they will either buy right now or take some more time.
When interacting with prospects on a social networking platform you need to look at gaining an understanding of your prospects buying habits. Now this can be done simply by comparing a purchase that you have made by just looking at what you wanted and what made you buy it right there and then. Then you should take a look at another time where you did not buy straight away, possibly because you had un answered questions preventing you such as “Can I afford it?”, “Will this be right for me?” and when you can match these buying habits to your prospects they will move further into your sales funnel.

It is at this point that we now look at who is interested in buying your product or service and also those who are no longer interested in buying. The people who are no longer interested in buying are definetely not going to go fully into your sales funnel purely because there would be no real purpose to it. However when it comes to those who are still interested in buying you must further build relationships with them, treat them as your community that have a great interest in you and the product you are selling. Those people are valuable because not everyone on a social networking platform will be interested in your niche which is why you have your sales funnel to sort out the proper qualified leads from those who are not. This process will now continually bring you an abundance of qualified leads on a regular basis which means alot of potential customers that are with you on your social networking platform everyday. Overall this will make it easier for you to build relationships therefore bringing them closer to saying yes to you and your product once you ask them to take action.

Potential buyers usually need to know several things before making a buying decision. They usually like to know all about you which comes also with self branding, if you are self branding properly then they will come to like and trust you which means they are not ready to make a buying decision. When it comes to filling the above criteria it is very easy with social networking because the relationship is started on the social networking platform which means you are continuously interacting therefore they start to like and trust you without feeling at all threatened by you. The only thing you need to do is continue to self brand yourself simply by being yourself and continue interacting with your prospects without giving them a sales pitch. Lastly just keep inviting people into your community so you can get to know them.

Hopefully now you will have an understanding of why Social Networking will benefit your online internet marketing business and with the internet constantly evolving it really is time to get involved. Create accounts at MySpace, Facebook and even twitter and simply spend time connecting with like minded people.
