What now?

The question I hear so often is "How do I know if this is a fake or a legitimate home opportunity?" Well, if you have to ask, you are in the wrong field. Run while you can. Now that is not to say that even the most savvy independent representatives and home based business professionals have not been taken for a sucker. Let's face it, in this economy, a promise of riches looks really good to just about anyone.

The first signal of a scam is one that promises that you will make some quick money. If you want to make money fast, keep your day job and play the lottery. It costs you less money in the long run. There are many legitimate home based business opportunities that appear to be a scam out there. You know what I am talking about here. Very few people make a great deal of money in a very short period of time. What they neglect to say is that the "elite" few who are able to make a great deal of money are skilled direct sales representative with a very large mailing list.

A mailing list is an email list of people that have expressed interest in your business activities, many of whom will purchase or join the business. As one could imagine, having an established organization makes any legitimage home business opportunity easier to succeed in.

When you have an unskilled network marketer join a legitimate home base business without mentoring, this now becomes a so called "sham". What an unskilled entrepreneur does not know, is that much training was spent in learning the trade and the skills necessary to create successful networks.

Begin building your list from day one. Your lead list will make or break your home business success. There are many ways to build your list. The most popular is through a "lead capture" or "squeeze page". Most everyone who is on the internet has seen a capture page. Generally speaking, a lead capture page trades information for information. The lead capture page will give a taste of what will follow, but the potential customer has to supply an email and/or phone number for more information. (Thus the name "squeeze page".)

What you do with this important bit of gold your potential business partner has shared with you is critical. Use the T.V.I. Express and you're on your way to success!
o Be Timely in responding. This can be done manually or in an automated fashion.
o Give them Value, so that you are not wasting their time.
o Provide the Information they need to make a comfortable, Informed decision.
o Express your enthusiasm authentically every step of the way.

Use the TVI Express suggestion and you will establish long lasting relationships every step of the way. You will achieve success because your potential customers will know, like, and trust you. Just like the savvy home based business professionals, they will not only buy from you but will follow your business activities.

So, next time you get "scammed" into a legitimate home based business, take a pulse on your skill level and take it up a notch. You may find success around the corner.
