Hey ...

 

I have to tell you...I didn't sleep much last night.

 

The call I did at 9:30 caused a big stir and my phone and email was going nuts for several

hours and by the time it died down I was all wound up so I was up till like 4.

 

Crazy..right?

 

But I am very happy it went the way it did.

 

I think the call last night was a major thing and I hope you take the time to listen.

 

It could really impact your life and business for 2011.

 

I put the audio on my blog HERE for the public but because you are on my list

I am giving you the download link

 

If you want that offer...which is AMAHHHHHZING...

 

You need to grab it now as it is only valid for a few days as a Christmas gift :)

 

Maybe tomorrow I'll make a video about it but for now you need to catch the audio.

 

 

So with that goodie given to you....and I know a lot of people couldn't get on the sold out call...

I'm sorry :( ...The lines just went NUTS...

 

But with that out of the way I want to share something with you...

 

YES..I sell that (whatever you are looking for)...

 

What does that mean Diane?

 

Well...here's how I think...and yes..it's kinda weird in this industry...

 

But I am not of this industry.. I am of THE REAL WORLD.

 

So think about this...

 

Take your local grocery store for instance...

 

They sell so many things...

 

Heck..they sell thousands and thousands of things...

 

Right?

 

So ask yourself...

 

When you walk in the door...is there anyone pitching you milk and eggs at the door???

 

Or do they have a person stationed at the customer service desk who's job it is to help YOU

find what YOU want?

 

And then once a week they have a flyer come out that lists some specials and so on...

 

Right?

 

So that's how I operate.

 

I sell everything any anything you need for your business.

 

And I station myself at the "customer service desk" and answer your questions and 

help you purchase EXACTLY what YOU need.

 

This is what allows me to maintain the size of the business I do out of my home without a big

outsource team and without all kinds of rigamaroe (is that how you spell that???)

 

I have NO INTEREST in having a big company...

 

I wanted a very successful SMALL BUSINESS that I could do around my family...

 

And that is what I have built.

 

So to answer the question that many of you have...

 

Why doesn't the great Diane Hochman get in on all the launches and win cars and trips and iPads???

 

Simple...

 

I think that by doing that and by engaging in manipulative sales practices with inflated bonuses upon purchase and using psychological triggering sales gimmicks that induce a purchase and then leave people with buyers regret is detrimental to YOU and to MY BUSINESS.

 

And I think that letting people see me all over Facebook, You Tube and Twitter hawking someone else's stuff  causes a deep distrust in the subconscious mind of my prospect base.

 

The Home Depot doesn't do that...

 

Supermarkets don't do that...

 

JCPenney doesn't do that

 

Donald Trump doesn't do that...

 

And I don't either...

 

But YES...I do sell all the stuff from the launches.

 

I sell them to people who ask me about the products and who I feel are a good match for the product that they are inquiring.

 

For example...

 

I have been a top affiliate with Mike Koenigs of Social Media Marketing Machines time and time again...

 

I have used his product for 4 years and have several people who have purchased it from me having over $10K months with it.(some months..not every month)

 

And yes..I have sold it this time around during this launch...

 

It's an expensive package so it is not for everyone but it is also an all inclusive set up

for a Social Media Consulting business like I have and if you look at it from that standpoint it's 

a GREAT value.

 

So anyway..the other night one guy who I have known for ages asked me about it and I felt it was a good fit (Hi BB!)

and I sent him my link and he bought it and now I will help him.

 

Yesteday another person asked me about it and I encouraged them NOT to buy it as they are

a beginner and in my opinion not ready to go for this.

 

This is how I roll.

 

And this is how I do thousands and thousands in sales every month with all different things.

 

THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.

 

So YES...I sell that,...

 

I sell the Elevation Group (although I am not keen on the marketing and some of the stuff going on)  If you want a link to purchase from..just ask..and YES..I am VERY familiar with what Mike is teaching.

 

And YES..I sell his other products as well...I just do not PROMOTE them in a big way

 

I sell Social Media Marketing Machines(been in the top affiliates time and time again)

 

I sell Kajabi and use it myself.

 

I sell all the launches if I have used the product or studied with the  creator and I know their work.

 

You'll just RARELY see me "humping them" unless I feel it's something really important 

to my list as a whole.

 

I generally just metion them in passing like I am doing now...

 

But I really want you to "GET" my thought process here so you can understand WHY I seem

so different than the rest.

 

So if you are ever looking for something and you need help...

 

Just stroll up to my "customer service desk" and ask me.

 

I will show you where it is...what aisle it's on in my 'store"

 

And you can bet that I will be here if you have an issue with the product.

 

But be clear...YOU need to do the work...YOU need to USE the product.

 

 

 

One of the trends I am not fond of on the net is this LAUNCH MENTALITY

 

The idea of slamming as many sales as you can as quick as you can and then seeing what sticks.

 

Then wait 90 days and do another launch.

 

We are seeing a trend of VERY EXPENSIVE products that become obsolete within months

I am into a product that will serve me in YEARS TO COME which is why I lean towards

copy writing with John Carlton and philosophy with Jim Rohn and Joe Schroeder and good old fashioned networking training with the likes of Randy Gage.

 

I dig long standing tech products like  Aweber and most anything else that will stand the test of time and serve you best.
