Network Marketing And Football: They Go Hand In Hand

Network Marketing And Football: They Go Hand In Hand

Posted on Wednesday, October 07, 2015 at 7:21:17 AM

It's Sunday at 1:00. The Jets are about to take the field. You and your family have your favorite drinks in hand, a smorgasbord of food on the coffee table and your game faces on.

That's right—it's football season, and you and your family live for this.

The thing is, the vast majority of your network marketing downteam live for NFL Sundays, too. So when Sunday rolls around, you can bet that just about all of your team members and future team members will be doing the exact same thing in their own living rooms or at their favorite local bars.

So this presents a tremendous opportunity for you to fire up your warm market by opening up your living room and inviting other Associates—and their contacts—over for some Sunday afternoon football.

Here are some of the main benefits to doing this:

Grow together: Let's face it—the NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint. Each NFL team (and fantasy football player) has their ups and downs. By gathering week in and week out to watch football, you will live through these highs and lows together. You'll cheer with them when they're up, and you'll pick them up when they're down. Sports present an ideal opportunity for group bonding, and additional dialogue during the week.

Strengthen friendships: Even more important than gathering together to watch football, hosting NFL Sundays at your house is a way to keep the group loose, friendly and communicating with each other. Team members will realize that they have others to rely on when they are experiencing tough times, and that they're not in network marketing alone.

Bring new ideas to life: Great ideas can come at unexpected moments while watching sports. For example, you may watch Peyton Manning—a master of audible plays—rearrange a play at the line of scrimmage before the snap and then strike up a conversation about strategically changing your strategy during a conversation with a new customer. Football, after all, is a game of innovation and teams are constantly restructuring their game plans in order to gain a competitive edge.

Demonstrate your leadership: As the leader of your downteam, you're like the coach standing on the sidelines. It's up to you to make sure everyone is up to speed with their businesses, and performing at the level they are capable of.  While watching football, you can take individual members aside during halftime or commercial breaks, do gut checks and ensure that they are all up to speed with what they are supposed to be doing. Likewise, after the final whistle blows and your team gets up to go home, you can bring the team together for a group huddle, speak some words of encouragement and remind everyone about their immediate responsibilities moving forward.

Of course, you don't have to do any of these things. You would be perfectly fine watching the rest of the NFL season with your family, without your downteam around. But in doing so, you wouldn't be maximizing your own group's potential. And in order to get ahead in network marketing, you need to set the bar high and continuously strive to be better.

So with that being said, we encourage all of you to play host and make NFL Sundays can't-miss events at your house. You will strengthen your personal relationships, and in doing so, excite your downteam about selling more.

And did we mention it's a lot of fun?

Sustainability education promoting renewable energy around the country

Sustainability education promoting renewable energy around the country

The government and businesses in recent years have been doing more and more about renewable energy and sustainability. But individual citizens take up the mantle, too, and plenty of outlets this summer will be offering education and opportunity for the average person who wants to increase his or her green efforts.
Farmers Market offering customers opportunity
Farmers markets are a staple of the green lifestyle, a beloved regular opportunity for the organic believer. And in Oregon this week, one farmer's market will be doing its best to make sure its customers understand organic best practices.
The Cedar Mill Farmer's Market will be holding its third annual Sustainability Fair on Saturday, according to the Beaverton Leader. The fair will include over a dozen organizations that will come together to support and educate on green living, including Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition, Zipcar and Habitat for Humanity.
Dean Moberg is co-chairman of the Conservation, Us, and the Environment committee of the Terra Linda Neighborhood Association, who organizes the fair. He spoke to the Beaverton Leader about the purposes of the event, which tries to help the farmers markets' customers learn new ways to live green, whether big or small.
"We believe in giving people the information to act," Moberg told the Leader.
New Jersey community college offering classes on sustainability
In the common imagination, New Jersey may bring to mind images of its famous turnpike or the muscular and hair-gelled patrons of its shore. But in reality the state is a player in sustainability, and one of its community colleges will be taking an opportunity this summer to educate students on a greener lifestyle.
The Cape May County Herald reports that Atlantic Cape Community College will have an assortment of "green" classes this summer. The college, which has about 6500 students, will begin the first offerings on June 21.
The first class is called "Green Building Today!" and, according to the Herald, "provides an in-depth overview of the design and construction of Green High Performance Buildings." Other offerings include LEED for Green Associate PLUS, which will prepare students for the Green Building Certification Institute's LEED for Green Associate exam. Also offered will be Solar Professional Certification, beginning July 29, which will give students training on photovoltaic installation.
Because with the sun sure to be shining bright in the coming months, there's no better time to look into solar power and sustainability.

Day one of Intersolar North America focuses on state of the industry

Intersolar North America kicked off July 9 in San Francisco, and Renewable Energy World reported that the first day's presenters addressed the “titanic shift” that occurred within the solar industry over the course of the year.
This past year has seen a number of solar manufacturers go bankrupt, most notably big industry player Solyndra. The plant closures and bankruptcies spurred concern over the effectiveness of the Obama administration’s clean energy agenda, with many debating the future of the solar industry even with record growth around the world.
Tom Cheyney with Impress Labs presented on the first day of Intersolar. He acknowledged the difficulties that manufacturers have had, faced with a glut in the market and the availability of low-cost product from China, but he said that the difficulties are a natural part of the industry's maturation.
“There’s a word for it. It’s called carnage,” he said of the closures, adding, “And that goes for any industry with growth like solar.”
Two of the first presenters at the conference, Chase Weir of Distributed Sun and Sanjay Shrestha of Lazard Capital, maintained that the future of solar is bright, and that in order to realize the full potential of solar power, there is a necessary attitude shift and a need for a re-examination of market mechanisms. Weir pointed to the need for more access to capital and fewer major manufacturers.
Intersolar North America continues with the conference through July 12, with exhibitions beginning July 10. The goal of INA is to provide a forum that will allow insight into the North American solar market, gathering companies from around the globe to share their knowledge and experiences in an effort to fuel the implementation of this green energy source.

Proposed tax credit for electric car chargers in New Jersey

Proposed tax credit for electric car chargers in New Jersey

Electric vehicles offer users lots of incentives by way of cheaper fuel and agreen energy source. According to NJ Today, residents of New Jersey will likely have one more reason to purchase the eco-friendly vehicles: The state legislature recently passed a bill the gives businesses a tax credit for buying and installing a charging station.

The bill, which passed by a vote of 54-20-5, will now move onto the Senate for voting. The bill states that all businesses that purchase and install an electric car charging station in 2013 will be eligible for the credit, which provides businesses with 25 percent off the purchase price, up to $500. While the bill outlines a tax credit until 2015, businesses that are more timely in their purchase of the charging station will have the largest savings.

U.S. Transportation Program Director Roland J. Hwang, who directs the Natural Resources Defense Council, believes measures like the New Jersey bill are needed across the country.

In his recent statement during the release of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions report, "An Action Plan to Integrate Plug-in Electric Vehicles," Hwang stated that although electric cars' fuel costs the equivalent of $1 per gallon, consumers need to know that they can utilize the technology consistently in their travels in order for the automobile to be more widely adopted.

AMERICANS EMBRACE ENERGY EFFICIENCY

According to recently released results from The Harris Poll, which surveyed 2,056 adults online about their green energy use, Americans are gradually making their homes more energy efficient.

The poll showed that Americans are knowledgeable about different energy sources and are doing basic things to conserve energy such as turning off lights, televisions and other appliances when they're not in use, and replacing incandescent bulbs with fluorescent ones.

Fifty-six percent reported that they use power strips and 54 percent stated that they are now using low-watt bulbs.

Americans around the country are being helped by utilities that are controlling energy costs with Smart Meter technology, and 20 percent of Americans reported hearing from their utility or co-op about the energy efficiency tools available to them.

Sarah Simmons, senior research executive and industry thought leader, believes that Americans are troubled by the initial costs of converting to renewable energy sources, which could compel energy providers to be more creative in how they encourage customers to make the switch.

According to research firm Clean Edge, global revenue for solar photovoltaics, wind power and biofuels increased 31 percent to reach $246 billion in 2011, which is evidence that the world realizes the need for alternate energy sources.
