Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 07:29PM Hi everyone,
We heard from a few people that they had a challenge playing the recording of the Webinar I did with Ellie Drake last week.
After reading one of the comments I realized some people with a slower Internet connection may need to try this little 'trick' so it fully loads:
Try it again but this time after you hit PLAY, hit the pause button and give the recording some time to fully load. After some time, hit play again and it should play smoothly.
If that 'trick' doesn't work, you may just need to download a common software called QuickTime Player used for playing audio files. You'll see a link to a quick download just under the audio.
It'll say:
(If you are having trouble playing this podcast, try first downloading QuickTime Player to your computer)
Click to hear the Webinar with Ellie -- it's on this page (scroll down a bit)
The impact Ellie Drake had on people in this Webinar is 'over the top' -- I hope you'll really take the time to listen if you haven't been able to yet.
Look at some things people had to say about it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"In just few days I’ve been able to practice the tips that Ellie shared during the call. It’s such a wealth of information that I have to go back to my notes often. These are not just skills for Network Marketing but for life. Thank you everyone for such an amazing learning experience." --Angelica Ried
"I am so thankful that this was recorded because I was unable to attend the original podcast. Ellie is so very inspirational and the points made truly hit some important spots with me. Thank you for sharing so much value with us all." --Angela James
"WOW! That’s all I have to say for NOW. WOW! And thank you, of course, to Ann and Michael, for giving me this wonderful opportunity to meet such a great lady. Dr. Drake is the first person ever who could put into words what made me such a success with what many call “problem students” or children in general. Until now I had no idea of what I now understand to be “visceral listening”. --Teri
"What an absolute pleasure listening to Ellie! I was hanging on every word. She is so natural and friendly. A perfect example of what she is teaching us. I used a couple of the tips and noticed a difference already. It’s not hard, just have to be aware of it. Thank you Didi and Mike for arranging this call for us. What tremendous value! And I have taken Ellie up on her free gifts. Very generous of her. --Debbie
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, Ellie Drake will be contributing several in-depth training modules to "Coaching Cognition" ... delving even deeper into the topics she shared in last week's Webinar. These will be exclusive to the Coaching Cognition students. Classes begin for Coaching Cognition in November / December, depending on your schedule and which class fits your schedule best. Click to learn more about Coaching Cognition.
Indeed, learning these skills is the single most valuable thing one can do in their life and business.

Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 04:49AM Many of you already know my story...
I started using social media and SEO and arrived on the scene practically overnight... and in 2 years built a multi-million dollar company generating leads through these mechanisms, plus just a tad bit of PPC.
If you follow my message here you'll learn why I see PPC, SEO and Social Media as the same--I recognize and use them at their foundational level (as lead tools).
But they have very little to do with success in lead generation. You'll learn why if you follow.
What's interesting to most people is that 2 years ago I learned what a blog was... and what SEO meant... for the very first time.
How did I generate thousands of leads on my list using a blog, within a few weeks of learning what a blog was for the first time, while others struggle after a year of tinkering--knowing more than I did technically?
How did I begin getting hundreds of hits to my blog and lead capture pages every day like clock-work using Twitter, when I barely knew how to use it... within days of setting up my account?
Why is it when I connect with a prospect on the phone they nearly always want to follow me? If I WANT them to.
It's called 'listening' and if you listen to this message... and you focus on it--you'll make everything you already know about marketing and business start clicking.
Let me back up a bit here because we had a webinar last week to really help you get the power of this:
If you missed the Webinar with Ellie Drake and I Thursday (on the power of focusing on coaching skills & "listening" in your business) -- We'll have that up for you to watch and share with others this Monday.
I'm going to continue working hard to merge what we've been teaching you about lead generation through social media and PPC, with the lessons you were introduced to on Thursday with Dr. Ellie Drake.
Without both the mechanics AND the intangible but very real "coaching" component, building your business is far more difficult. Our goal is to help you make it effortless.
Because it can be.
The initial response from those who attended last Thursday's event was highly energized, as I expected it would be. We've heard back from well over a hundred of the 800 who attended so far.
Here's what some people had to say after the event:
"It is just amazing how Ellie finds the words that communicates easily what others write meters of books about. Thank you so much for the opportunity even at 4 a.m. my time."
-- Gertraud Wegst, Germany
"This is the best training I could have asked for. What an amazing insight into what I must pay attention to and coach myself to become. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and my mind to a way of changing myself."
– Sherry Prince
"Fantastic information. The clarity she gave to an important topic was very impresive. Something I will review over and over. Thanks Mike for knowing what really makes the difference."
-- Daniel V.
"Mike, thank you so much for the call. Now I understand one of the reasons I learn so much from you. It's because you always come from that place inside you that is committed to a life of purpose every time you connect with us - a conscious decision you make when you teach, coach, listen, and lead. That's the culture you've created and we get the energy and blessings because of it! Thank you, dear friend!"
--Terri Stallcop
And thank you.
Merging Coaching Skills (and listening) Into Your Business For More Effortless Results:
The more you study this topic, the easier everything becomes in your business.
I am continually amazed that THIS (coaching skills & "listening") are the least discussed & studied in the business world while its the most important piece.
Lead generation strategies like social media (my favorite), ppc (another great one), systems and prospecting techniques are usually what people keep circulating around and focusing on.
But as Ellie pointed out, and as we'll continue sharing with you--
Without coaching skills (effectively "listening" to yourself and others) you're stuck.
Your marketing won't connect.
Your conversations with prospects won't connect.
You won't connect to yourself, which impacts your business decisions.
It seems intangible but its "oh" so very REAL.
Our goal is to make this skill a part of you and your business until everything you do just clicks.
Keep studying the topic. We'll keep supporting you in this process, including how to merge this with the technical things you do in social media or ppc to generate leads online, or what you do at social engagements and networking events... and on the phone.
Look for an email from me Monday with a link to Ellie Drake's call--digging deeper and deeper... so you can own these skills. This is a process. And the one that makes things change for the better, in a hurry.
In the meantime, watch this and start seeing what REALLY makes a business go.

Friday, November 6, 2009 at 05:56PM There's just something about Ellie!
If you weren't able to attend the Webinar with Ellie, not to worry--it was recorded! We'll notify you soon once its available and where you can find it. This will be one you'll want to share with others!
Here's what someone had to say about it:
"It is just amazing how Ellie finds the words that communicates easily what others write meters of books about. Thank you so much for the opportunity even at 4 a.m. my time." - Wegst,Gertraud - Buseck, Germany near Frankfur
And another...
"The hour went by so fast! I wished it would go on I learned a lot thank you very much" - Marianne

Look at what some others said about the event last night:
"This is the best training I could have asked for. what an amazing insight into what I must pay attention to and coach myself to become. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and my mind to a way of changing myself." – Sherry Prince
"She is not just beautiful but very influential and tells it as is, I salute your genuine and true being!" Randa Kassisieh
"This was very good. I appreciate the great tips. I especially liked the parts about the different types of listening. The 3 models exactly explain some of the challenges I've had. I'm doing sympathetic listening--not empathic. thank you." - Rymut, Julia
Friday, November 6, 2009 at 05:04AM If you missed the call we DID record it and will have it posted at the Renegade Professional back office shortly.
We'll send out an email once it's there! Phenomenal call. See below for more about it. People from all over the world wrote in afterward and said it had truly impacted them permanently. I'm not surprised!

Even though our coaching doors haven’t officially opened, I know that many of you are already receiving inquiries about coaching. The first thing to do is to either have your clients ask about purchasing credits by emailing support or you can send them the following email yourself. This is the same one they will receive from our support desk:
You may purchase coaching credits from your back office. Soon you will have an icon on your main menu that will take you to the coaching pages, but for now, there will be a couple of extra steps involved.
Log in to Renegade Professional. When you are on the main menu page, replace the url in your browser at the very top of the page with:
https://www.marketingmerge.com/Coaching/BuyCredits.aspx
You can then buy credits in increments of 100. 1 credit = $1. The credit card you have on file with us will be charged. You may keep these credits in your account for as long as you are a professional - they will not expire.
You may choose to spend your credits with one coach, or choose from different coaches and different topics. Once you have purchased your credits, send an email to support and we will contact you to get you matched with a coach. Again, in short order, this will be something you will be able to take care of yourself from your back office, but the information is still being loaded into the system, so we are still making the appointments manually.
Coaches' fees depend on their level in our system. Some coaches charge as little as 25 credits an hour, some more. Most coaches offer a fifteen minute free consultation for new clients so that you can be sure there is a good fit between you.
Let us know your time zone, best number to call and what time of day is good to reach you. If you have already chosen the coach you would like to work with, let us know that as well. We will get you all set up as quickly as possible.
Any questions can be sent to support@marketingmerge.com with Coaching in the subject line.
We look forward to serving you!
Have your client notify support when they have purchased their credits and that they would like to be coached by you. Even though the programming is not yet complete, each client that you refer through Coaching Cognition will move you up in Levels. Level 4 coaches can begin offering coaching packages which will be even more inviting to clients.
We’ll be featuring coaches as they move up in levels on our blogs, in the Renegade News, and on the Coaching Cognition page itself. You might want to ask your clients if they would like to be interviewed about their experience with you! Please share your coaching stories with LeeAnn McVey by sending an email to support@marketingmerge.com with Coaching News in the subject line. She will be putting together the articles to highlight your Coaching Cognition experiences.
You can also contact LeeAnn for updates as to your current Level, fee structure, reviews, etc. This information will all be available to you in your back office soon, but LeeAnn is the go to person in the meantime.

Friday, September 18, 2009 at 07:41AM So I was working feverishly again... and had been for a year since returning from world travels, reflection, and a bout with getting healthy and fit (I needed that after the previous 5-year intensive business effort).
Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 11:08PM The other day I sent an email encouraging you to attend a live event with Barbara Silva (last Thursday evening).
It's Recorded and Now Available...
This has been posted and will be available for a limited time before offering you the opportunity to partner with us through Coaching Cognition--where you can learn the needed coaching skills to succeed at an entirely new level, while getting paid as a Coach with us (and receive clients).
Click below to watch Barbara Silva's 2nd event on Becoming a Coach with Us--
http://www.marketingmerge.com/backoffice/videos/CoachingCognition/presentation.asp
If you missed her first event in this two-part series, here's the link (an Introduction to the Coaching Mindset)--
http://www.marketingmerge.com/backoffice/videos/CoachingMindset/presentation.asp
I can't emphasize enough how significant these two courses could be for you, your life and your business. Coaching is at the heart of success with every human interaction (prospecting, family, copy writing, attitude, influence, you name it).
Watch the two events and shift your focus onto developing your ability to influence others positively, at an entirely new level of effectiveness.
Because...
You ARE the system!

Watch Barbara's video below, as she has a special message for you:
Barbara SilvaClick Here to Access that Recorded Webinar, Developing a Coach's Mindset.
Barbara is widely becoming known as the "coaches coach." Her passion is sharing how you can significantly improve your business results with coaching skills – she'll show you how you can know exactly what to do in any situation in this live webinar that was recorded last week.
In 2009, Coaching is consistently listed as not only one of the top recession-proof industries, but one that is still showing growth.
This is because more and more companies are recognizing the difference that a coach can bring to overall productivity and contentment.
So why not develop these skills for yourself? By being a Renegade Professional, and attending Thursday’s webinar, you are showing that interest. And this is Barbara’s gift.
She can bring out specific skills in people without complication, and teach you how to do so.
She can see the potential in a person and bring that out in them even if they don’t think they have it, and she does so in a way that feels right for the person she is coaching.
The fact of the matter is this…Barbara has a second site, and she can teach this to you, and developing coaching skills will bring you success.

IF he's investing time at it, what's that say about the value of you continuing to spend time at it?
