How the Acupuncturist Met the Internet Guru and the Sales Queen

I hope you read Alicia’s post last week called, How the Internet Guru and the Sales Queen Met.

Wouldn’t you have loved to have been a ‘fly on the wall’ during that very first phone consultation between Ann Sieg, the Internet Guru, and Alicia Bausley, the Sales Queen?!

I am sure neither of them knew the deep friendship and strong business bonds that would grow from that very first phone call.

It makes you think, doesn’t it? When you pick up the phone to do consultative selling, you just never know what business friendships and relationships will develop.

And I guarantee neither Ann nor Alicia predicted joining forces with an acupuncturist!  Sometimes even I wonder how I got myself here.  (But just between you and me, I pinch myself every day because I can hardly believe my good fortune!)

The thing is, I am probably not all that different from you.

You see, I was not interested in gurus or queens in October 2007 when I was learning how to use the web to market my acupuncture practice.

I was happily learning how to build my very own Site Build It! website.  I was super proud of myself for actually creating a website that was earning me money!  Especially because I was a total web novice.  I was content to just keep building my acupuncture website.  End of story.

That is, until Ken Evoy of SiteSell, Inc., made an interesting post in the Site Build It! Forums.

If you are an SBI!er, you may remember Ken introducing us to a network marketing expert named Ann Sieg.  According to Ken, Ann had apparently unraveled the puzzle of how to generate an endless amount of qualified leads using the power of the Internet.

Ken does not endorse just anyone. So I paid attention.   He said that Ann Sieg bases her business on over-delivering quality information and offering value to her customers.  Hmm… that was very consistent with SBI!’s approach and it appealed to me.

Moreover, Ann taught network marketers how to shift their thinking from working for their MLM to becoming independent, marketing-focused entrepreneurs.  I liked hearing that too!

I started to wonder if I could actually fulfill my dream of multiple sources of residual income by following Ann Sieg’s system.

I decided that the only way I would know is if I gave it a try!

So I bought The Renegade Network Marketer ebook and attended the two live web classes on “How to Put the Net into Network Marketing” by Ken Evoy and Ann Sieg.

Ann Sieg said something very interesting in those web classes that changed my life.

Little did I know that a few words Ann said during those webinars would be responsible for the Sales Queen (Alicia Bausley) picking up the phone and calling ME!

What was it that Ann said? She talked about developing your business brand by creating your own product.  She stated that product creation can be as simple as taking someone else’s ideas and rephrasing them and adding your own perspective.

In that moment, “The 7 Great Truths of InterNetwork Marketing” was born!  I wrote this short ebook using information from Ken and Ann’s web classes and I added my own experiences.

I actually got up the nerve to send a link to the ebook to Ken and Ann, asking for their permission to use their information.  I also was worried about using the title (since it was a clear play on Ann Sieg’s, “The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing”).

You’ll never believe what happened.

Ann called me!  And Ken emailed me!  They both gave me their full support to go ahead with the ebook.  I thought I had it made!

I had never written an ebook before and did not know anything about marketing or autoresponders.  I just did the best I could and put it ‘out there’.

Fortunately it landed in the hands of The Sales Queen, Alicia Bausley.  Alicia read my ebook and immediately called to invite me to join her on a “little project”.  That project was to write an ebook called, “How to Build Your MLM Business” with 6 other members of her team.

Alicia and I ‘hit it off’ as they say.  Although we have different backgrounds, we have very similar working styles.  It did not take us long to figure out that we were a good team.

Alicia has exceptional sales training skills, experience, and knowledge.  She really is the Queen of lead conversions!

I have a solid background in building an online business with Site Build It! and have teaching and writing skills that complement Alicia’s.

Joining forces to write “The Lead Conversion Kit” was born out of our desire to help struggling online network marketers and to duplicate the brilliant marketing model that Ann Sieg teaches.

Perhaps you are like many of the new online network marketers we have talked to who have made the transition from calling friends and family to using the Internet, but still remain stuck when it comes to converting website traffic into buying customers.

“The Lead Conversion Kit” is a comprehensive training manual to show you how to take the exact same steps that the big gurus are taking to generate income.

One of these steps is to repackage – or repurpose – content. We cover all of this in Chapter 11: Perceived Value and The Sideways Sales Funnel.

Learning these few tricks will totally change your business.

I want you to know that there isn’t any reason you can’t be just as successful as the Internet Guru and the Sales Queen.

Oh, and the Acupuncturist, too!
