GPT - The Most Profitable Model For 2010 & Beyond

In every industry/business and in life there comes a point where major change occurs, and in MLM/network marketing this is happening right now. Unless you adaptto these changes you stand to lose out those who embrace it. Change in everything is inevitable, it is a natural part of evolution and order. As humans who like to be within our comfort zone, we do not always see change as a positive force and we tend to view it with suspicion, hostility and with fear. Fear is of the unknown and we have a certain degree of comfort in our current zone no matter how 'hard' or relatively uncomfortable this is. It is what we know and usually predictable and we derive a certain degree of comfort from this. Moving out of the 'comfort' zone can make us fearful and our conscious mind and ego will do their best to bring us back to what we know. Most people stay within their 'zone' as change would be too uncomfortable, but those who change are the ones who stay ahead of the pack and lead. Becoming a leader is a central part of being an entrepreneur, you see the opportunity before it even becomes one and this is what sets you apart. For the last 20 years or more the network marketing/MLM industry has been at the forefront of the home business industry in the US and to a lesser degree in the UK. Thousands of people have made a living or sometimes a fortune by pitching their family and friends and total strangers. They have spent a huge amount of time hosting home parties and bigger meetings, they have spent hours prospecting on the phone trying to sign up and sell to others and spent thousands of $$ buying leads that might (or might not as is usually the case) prove to be profitable. We all know that the bigger the downline the bigger the pay check at the end of the month. For many thousands this proved to be a very profitable way to spend their time, however, for the majority this proved to be fruitless, soul destroying and bankrupting.

Then, as happens in nature a new force comes along that not only challenges the old order but completely obliterates it forever. Those who are able to adapt to the new way survive and those who do not will die - The survival of the fittest.

A few years ago a force so powerful, so big, so influential and so new arrived in the world of business. This has completely changed the 'old school' regime and revolutionised how business is done, business will never be conducted the 'old' way again. That 'something' is the 'internet'. The internet and it's related technology has proved that it can reach a much bigger market place - the world. It has shown that it can automate your efforts and can provide leverage by doing the job of many people at once and it can be doing this automatically.

Along with this automation and leverage a new yet proven business model was born because the old outdated model no longer fit the new system. A model that takes advantage of the new time saving systems to make life easier more enjoyable and enhancing the quality of life beyond all previous recognition. This is a model for 2010 where 'lifestyle design' and quality of life is king. No more career path, long hours and promotion as we have woken up to the fact that it is what we do 'outside' of work that is the most important.

GPT - Get Paid Today is that new business model where a 'downline' is no longer required for you to earn upwards of $5,000 per month; where you no longer have to wait for piddley commission checks because you 'get paid today'; where you no longer earn piddley amounts per sale but earn anywhere between $900 and $9,000 per sale; where you can work 4 or 5 hours per day during hours to suit you. GPT is the new model for smart mlm/network marketing and is here to stay and the smart marketers are now reaping the rewards of embracing this new model alongside the automation of the internet.

So, stop using the worn out, inefficient and labour intensive old model and upgrade to the new yet proven model for 2010 & join the time and money rich elite who truly do design their dream lives.

Re: Franchise 'due diligence' checklist - One of the things I focus on is this: Does the Franchise fit the Business Model you are interested in? Meaning, are you going to be doing what you want to do on a daily? For example, if you are a restaurant manager now and you hate your job because of the hours, then don't buy most food franchises. You have experience of course, so it is more comfortable, but you will basically be doing very similar duties and hours as you were before. I always go through a series of questions, answers, more questions, more answers etc... to help my clients figure out what Business Model they are most interested in, I do this before even discussing a single name with them, they tell me what the business model is and then I match them up to that type of business, explain the entire business model as best I can and then and only then do we discuss the name of the company. Too many times people come to me wanting to own "abc" name brand franchise, when they don't even understand what type of business it really is and what they will be doing every day.
Re: Most and Least Profitable Businesses to Start - I can say something about the "Least Profitable Businesses to Start" when someone thinks about creating a product before knowing what the market really wants. This happens more often than people realize. People often get trapped into coming up with something it might work but if the market doesn't want that kind of stuff, no matter how innovative the idea may be, it'll turn bad. Like I might be able to come up a way to "... store all of my spam emails into one junk box and keep it stored on the web forever!" -- hey, who wants that kind of stuff.
Never give an excuse - [quote="Sebastien":3d3trrkv]I had an issue once with the Tacone franchise. I called a local location about 5 times and left voicemails every time to have someone call me back because I wanted them to cater a little get together I had. Nobody ever returned my call. I went straight to the website (the franchisor site) and complained that if they were not interested in doing business with me, SubMarina or another sandwich shop would probably be glad to. About an hour later I had a call from the Tacone franchise Area Developer in San Diego, telling me he just took over this territory and he was aware of problems at this particular location. He was really apologetic and knew there was a problem. I thanked him for calling me back so quickly and told him I would probably never buy from them anyways (I am a very snobby customer. When I pay for something, I like to be taken care of). A day later, I get a phone call from the local franchisee (whom I actually knew since we had done business together), explaining how busy he was that he couldn't return my call earlier. I was so chocked! What kind of business is that? I thanked him and told him I will never buy Tacone again. Well, I ended up buying Tacone again because it's so good but I never want back to this one location.[/quote:3d3trrkv] Hi Sebastien, I see where you're coming from and I've stopped going to a particular Kelsey's franchise because of their slow service. We waited more than 50 minutes for our entrees and the manager could only tell us that they were "busy". Well to add to your point, retail expert Doug Fleener says "Profitable Retailers always put the customer first. First before the tasks associated with operating the business. First before profits...First in everything the company does...No one is really interested in how busy you are. In fact, giving an excuse can be insulting. When you say, 'I'm just so busy,' it implies that the other person isn't" ("The Profitable Retailer" 69 & 70). The Tacone franchise you originally called should've arranged for at least someone else to touch base with you if they were too busy themselves to do it or suggested a better time to discuss business.
