TOOLS

 

As with any profession -be it a carpenter, a plumber, an accountant, etc. – tools specific to their respective profession are a necessity.  So it is with ours.  Fortunately, the tools we need for our profession are minimal and, by comparison, relatively inexpensive. Additionally, they are optional.  But, have you ever seen a carpenter, effectively & efficiently, pound a nail without a hammer? Likeswise, the following tools I believe will help make building your business much easier.

 

Momentis Biz Site

 

This is, by far, the #1 tool you should have.  It is your own replicated website. By that, it is the generic business site that all reps use, but specific to your Momentis ID number.  The site is professionally done, engaging and inter-active. It serves as an introductory gateway to your Momentis business by giving your prospects [or, customers] an opportunity to review the Opportunity, Company [and its leaders] & Products as well as the opportunity for someone to Join the company or purchase products –under your ID number.

 

In addition to being an advertising tool, it also your Business Center.  By that it tracks your Earnings, provide Alerts, advise what qualifications you need to move up a Rank.  A second section, called M-University, provides you with tips on how to Build Your Business, Compliance, Training, and details on Products & Services.  The site also provides additional Marketing Tools.

 

The nice thing about the Momentis Biz Site is that, depending on which option you choose, you earn Customer Points [CP] toward helping you Qualify as a Marketing Rep [QMR]. Your options are as follow:

 

• Month-to-Month Option      $24.95 =1 Customer Point, or

• 6 Month Pre-Paid Option   $124.75=2 Customer Points, or

• 12 Month Pre-Paid Option $249.50=3 Customer Points

 

Business Cards

 

One thing we want to be, especially after we have introduced ourselves and/or the business to someone, is remembered. A business card is probably the best ‘bridge’ to help someone remember you. Unfortunately, I feel that most business cards are too sterile and the fancy ones are too expensive. Additionally, I believe that a business card should serve you more than just as an ‘identifier’ [your name, phone #, email, etc.]; but more so as an means of advertising.  If kept, most business cards end up in the bottom of some desk drawer or flippantly tossed somewhere –never to be found again.  I want my business card to be kept in your wallet, or at least, placed some place where you can later find it when you want. I use two sources for my cards, VistaPrint [very reasonable] and Moo.com [more expensive].  Which cards below do you think would draw your [and keep] your attention?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Audible Books

 

“Empty your purse into your mind and your mind will fill your purse up.”  -Ben Franklin.

 

One thing this industry will require is that you improve your skillsets [communication, people, etc.].  And the best way to do that is to identity the specific skillset that you want to improve upon, seek out information [which will help you improve that skill] and learn. In the old days it was a matter of going to the library or bookstore and finding a book that attended to the subject you want to learn about.  Today, that still is the best way to learn; however, very few of us have any additional time to sit down & read a book. Fortunately, with the pervasive advent of Smartphones, iPods & tablets, we can now still access the information we need and assimilate it audibly as we go about our day –whether during our commute, our workouts and, so on. Audible Books has provided me a great ‘vehicle’ to assist me in my continuing education. Audble Books is monthly subscription that gives you a 30 day trial period, along with two [2] credits -generally, good for two [2] books.  

 

Go Daddy

 

This is a matter of preference. While Momentis allows us to be selective in the choice of our business name, some prefer to get a more ‘formal’ .com [.us, .biz, .net, etc.] name.  It would be my suggestion that, should you choose this option, to try to select a name that is relevant to the business or the industry.

 

 

Once again, all the tool suggestions above are optional. Choice of any or all of these tools will not guarantee more success in your Momentis business.
