Alligetters with Crocodeals Need to Get Out of the Sales Swamp


Nobody wants to be THIS guy.


The cold blooded, cold-calling predator is a dinosaur. Just as crocodiles and alligators have remained unchanged since ancient times, so alligetters are stuck in a timewarp. A toxic swamp of entitlement.


Alligetters Don't Care


Alligetters are all about them. They don't care whether what they are offering is helpful to their prospect or not. All they care about is the sale.


Crocodeals Only Serve One Person


A crocodeal only serves the reptile selling it. They know the buttons to push to make you buy. There's nothing wrong with that. A good grasp of psychology is not a bad thing. The problem with the alligetter is that they push these buttons even when they know the product or service is wrong for you.


Alligetters Are Cold-Blooded


Alligetters only ever go in cold. You are just a number to them. No matter how much you tell them their product won't work for you, they keep on pushing. People are getting bored of alligetters. If you are an alligetter, no matter how much you knock, nobody's ever going to let you in.


Have a look at the things I promote (marked with 'promotion'). Do I tell you that you MUST buy them? No. Do I tell you what's wrong with them? Yes. You aren't just a sale to me. You are a person. To an alligetter though... you're the next kill.


How to Stop Being an Alligetter


Unlike alligators - who don't need to evolve - alligetters do, and can. There's no shame in having been an alligetter. It's how traditional businesses once taught people to sell. In fact, if you're aware enough to notice that swamp is getting toxic, and move out of it, it says great things about you. Here's how you can start to evolve:

Leave comments on other people's blogs. Don't just passively consume content. Give something back. Become part of the conversation.
Retweet good content on Twitter. Sharing information you find valuable helps both the creator of the information, and your followers.
Use share buttons, like the ones below the comments on this post, to share information you find useful. If you can't find share buttons on a blog, just cut and paste the url, and tweet it out, or share on Facebook. If you need to shorten it, use a service like bit.ly
For extra bonus points, link to a good blog post written by someone else within a newsletter to your own list of subscribers.
Find out what your prospects REALLY want. If you don't provide it, guide them to someone who does. You haven't lost the sale - you never had it - but you've helped out two other people at no cost to yourself.
GIVE 15 TIMES MORE THAN YOU TAKE. Some months it will be closer to 10, or even 5, but keep the number 15 in your head and keep striving to give that much more than you take.
The idea of adding value isn't new. If you go through this blog, you'll find a video of Jim Rohn talking about it YEARS ago. Take action on this advice. Add value. If you do, you won't be a swamp dweller, you'll evolve into something much more approachable.

What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel about alligetters and crocodeals? Can you add anything else?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog

My name is Ray Fivey and i drive a taxi in Coventry UK. I have also been involved in the home based business industry for a number of years. It's great because i can combine the two, i meet lots of interesting people on a daily basis. When we get chatting the conversation is usually about life, family, job, income, or even the weather.

I collect lots of contacts in my job as a cabbie, some people are interested in the products and services that i promote, and some are interested in learning how they could become involved like me as a distributor, to earn additional income alongside what they are currently doing. So i gather a few customers here and there and occasionally a couple of new team members join me in my chosen business.

The MLM/Network Marketing/Home Business Industry is a Multi-Billion $$$$$$££££££ worldwide industry. You can get started from as little as £10 to literally thousands of pounds depending on which company, product, service, that appeals to you. They can give you the opportunity to make as little, or as much money as you wish. You can work a couple of hours per week and generate hundreds if not thousands per month in extra income.

Lots of people from all walks of life do quite well in their chosen company, but many fail because they either don't put enough time and effort into it, or they just can't be bothered. Or maybe the birds or thorns got to them and stole their dreams ! Whatever the reason maybe there are still lots of people who do quite well out of it and go on to build massive businesses, generating life changing monthly incomes.

From what i have learned since i have been in the industry is that once you run out of leads, where do you find new ones ? You've maybe signed up most of your friends, family, and work colleagues from the list of one hundred names you started out with when you first got started. But when you have exhausted your warm market leads list, where do go to find new leads ?

There are a multitude of things you can do, and believe me i have done them. Like spending money on advertising, placing ads in shop windows, posting flyers through letterboxes, and cold calling. You see some people would not have the funds, time, or confidence to do some of those things. In my experience it can be very hard work generating new leads, i do get some from talking to people in my taxi, and i occasionally go and knock on doors as i have had direct sales experience with customer gathering and recruitment.

But if you are new to the industry and unlike me have none of this knowledge or experience, then don't despair there are systems and tools available which you can use to help you in building your business. Just by accident really when i first joined Facebook, it was all new to me and it took me a while to learn how it worked. I started adding all the people i knew as friends and family, ex work colleagues, etc. I thought it was like a competition to see who could add the most friends LOL.

So i started adding people from around the world, people who had the same interests as me like MLM,Network Marketing, etc. This whole social media thing with Fb, twitter, Youtube, etc opened my eyes and i thought WOW this is what i have been waiting for. I have learned mostly from looking at what and how my Facebook friends have been doing to promote and build their primary business opportunities.

They are using automated systems which provides you with the tools, education, and free training, to build your business on auto-pilot. These systems and tools enable you to build your primary business quicker than it would do, if you were using the outdated methods from the eighties and nineties. You don't even have to speak to anyone if you choose not to. These systems are getting people to the top in their chosen companies lightning fast.

There are lots of systems and tools that you will need in your arsenal to enable you to build a business in MLM/Network Marketing some of them are FREE and others come with a monthly subscription.
