OUR SALES PROCESS

We start off by initially selling business owners what we term as a “Trust Trigger”. This is something which is relatively inexpensive, contains high value, and can produce instant results, making it a very easy decision for the business owner to move forward with our company. This “trust trigger” allows us to build trust and credibility with the business owner. After the “trust trigger” is sold and delivered to the business owner, the next stage involves selling the business owner one of our “Core Offers” on a recurring basis.

When bringing on new clients, our company only focuses on Reputation Marketing FIRST and then we attempt to upsell them to additional services.

The sales cycle for selling the INITIAL (trust trigger) offer to a prospect is 1 to 3 days.

The overall sales cycle from initial contact with the prospect until sale of the recurring core offer is typically 5 to 7 days

PAYMENTS

All sales reps are paid electronically through our online payment provider and NOT by check. This allows you to get access to your commissions faster.

Commissions are paid out weekly on Friday for all verified sales made the week before. There is a one week hold in order to allow time for any chargebacks or cancellations. See sample below:

Week 1 > 5 sales made / week in hole

Month 1 > 20 sales made / no residuals

Week 2 > 5 sales made / Paid for week 1

Month 2 > 20 sales made / residuals paid on month 1 sales

Week 3 > 5 sales made / Paid for week 2

Month 3 > 20 sales made / residuals paid on month 1 AND 2 sales

Week 4 > 5 sales made / Paid for week 2

Month 4 > 20 sales made / residuals paid on month 1 AND 2 AND 3 sales

Week 5 > 5 sales made / Paid for week 3

Month 5 > 20 sales made / residuals paid on month 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4 sales

PROCESSING ORDERS

Whenever you make a sale, you will use the following online order form to get your sale processed allowing us to be able to give you credit for the sale you made. It is our expectation that you will be using this form quite often!

We want you to familiarize yourself as soon as possible with using the CRM platform. What better way to do so than to have you add a "test contact" into it

The test contact you will be using will be the sales manager. You will add your sales manager as a contact completing the following fields

• Full Name
• Company Name
• Position
• Email Address
• Phone Number

Any questions about this can be directed to your sales manager.

WHY USE IMAP?

Setting up IMAP in the CRM will allow you to sync emails between your personal email provider and the emails you send to and receive from prospects and clients. For Example....let's say you sent an email to a client from your personal email address, well when IMAP is set up, the CRM system will recognize that the email is being sent to a contact in the CRM and will pull all email correspondence for that contact into the CRM where you can later view it and keep track of those emails in one single place

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SET UP:

1. Read this ENTIRE PAGE before setting up
2. Go to your email provider you normally use and create a folder and name it "CRM Emails."
   1. You will later select this folder when you set up IMAP in the CRM. Therefore, whenever you receive an email from a prospect or client (within your personal email account) you would simply move that email to this folder and then those emails will sync with the CRM
3. In the CRM click on the Group Settings gear
4. Click the "Email Options" tab
5. Click the "Configure Imap" button
6. When pop up window opens, enter the applicable server for the email provider you use
   1. Yahoo > imap.mail.yahoo.com
   2. Gmail > imap.gmail.com
      1. Please make sure, that IMAP access is enabled in the account settings.
         Login to your account and enable IMAP.
         You also need to enable "less secure apps" (third party apps) in the Gmail settings:  https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
   3. Outlook > imap-mail.outlook.com
   4. Click Here if your email provider is not listed above
7. Input your username and password that you use to login to your email provider 
8. Check the box to automatically synchronize emails
9. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX TO MINE EMAIL ACCOUNTS

Synch Your Inbox with IMAP

IMAP is used to synchronize your CRM data with your personal email account.

Similar to how you synchronize your smartphone with your email, this system connects your FunnelMaker contact data with the folders you choose in your email account.

To setup your IMAP go to Settings > Group > Email Options tab and click the “Configure IMAP” button. You will need to know the domain of the server, your username, and password - this will set up the data collection and storage in your FunnelMaker account.Now, select whether or not you'd like to "Automatically Synchronize" emails. This option allows you to select the "Days Between Synchronizations." Then, select if you would like to "Mine Email Contacts." Selecting this option will automatically synchronize the contacts in the outbound and inbound emails, located in the folders that are selected. After you have entered in and selected the appropriate options, please click on the "Continue" icon. Now, you will have to choose which folders within your email account you wish to sync in FunnelMaker.

Some will choose to sync their Inbox and Sent Items folders so that every message is synced, while other may create a folder in their email account called FunnelMaker and only place the emails they want synced to the system into this folder. Then, when you call up a contact in your CRM, it will automatically show any one-to-one emails you sent from your email inbox program.

To manually fetch emails, please click on the Contacts header from the navigation bar. Once you are on the view contacts page, please hover over the Actions bar in the top right corner, and select "Get IMAP".

2-Step Verification for IMAP

When configuring your IMAP within FunnelMaker you may run into synchronization issues with regard to 2-Step Verification.

As it turns out, the 2-step verification for Gmail does interfere with IMAP. You have several options to remedy the situation:

1. You will need to disable 2 Step Verification. This can be accomplished by clicking on the "My Account" and then "Sign In & Security" in Gmail. You will click on 2 Step Verification, enter your password, and then have the option to disable.

2. If you want to keep your 2 Step Verification you will need to create an App password for your Google Apps/Gmail Account, and use that App password instead of your actual Google Apps/Gmail password. Please click on the account icon on the top right hand corner of your screen, and select the "My Account" option available.

Then, select the "Connected apps & Sites" option within the "Sign-in & Security" section. Now, scroll up until you reach "App Passwords" within the "Password & sign-in method" section. Enter in a password and create a new app password, selecting "Other" as the option for the app password. Then, you'll be provided with a password which you can copy, and use in stead of your actual Gmail email password, when configuring IMAP within FunnelMaker.

3. If you don't have 2 Step Verification and you are still running into configuration issues then you will need to allow for less secure apps to configure IMAP. Here is a link on how to do so:https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en&authuser=1

COLD CALLING ACTIVITIES:

Calling will need to take place during the hours that businesses in your assigned city are open. This will typically be from the hours of 9am to 5pm as it pertains to the time zone of the city you will be calling. You of course are not expected to call the entire time between 9 and 5, however you are expected to be able to make at least 60 to 80 calls per day, as well as make calls for at least 15 to 25 hours per week.(you may call more hours than that if you like)

The majority of your time each week will be invested on the phone, reaching out to business owners who may be in need of our marketing services. This is done by using our online phone dialer software which is already pre-loaded with the business leads you will be calling. In addition to cold calling you will also be following up with business owners you may have previously contacted and who require a call back for whatever reason.

You will be making phone calls using our online phone dialer. Our company will be giving you access to the dialer and assigning you business leads to call.

NOTE >>> You should have already received your access information to be able to log into our Online Phone Dialer Software. If you have not received this by DAY TWO then please contact us immediately.

IMPORTANT: THIS STEP IS NOT MANDATORY. DO THIS TASK ONLY IF YOU WISH TO HAVE YOUR APPOINTMENT FROM GOOGLE CALENDAR SYNCED WITH THE CRM

INSTRUCTIONS:

Syncing your Google Calendar into the CRM

You can easily tie the events of a public Google calendar into your CRM calendar.

1. First and very important, log in to your Google Calendar
2. Select the calendar you want to share.
3. Then click "Share this calendar"
4. Then check the "Make this calendar public" box.
5. Make sure the "Share only my free/busy information" is unchecked!
6. Click "Save".

The next step is to get your calendar's ID. Go back to your Google Calendar, then click "Calendar Settings". In the Calendar Address section of the screen, you will see the ID. Oftentimes, this is the email address you log into Google with.

Under Settings inside the CRM > Calendar > Description tab, you will populate the “Google Calendar ID” field.

Remember, any changes to your calendar events must be made in the original version. So if an event in the CRM has changed you will need to make that change in FunnelMaker and not in Google.

SALES TRAINING

We will be giving you access to current sales training as well as archived training to help you be as successful as possible while on your way to earning a Six-Figure income. The majority of your training will come from David who has over a decade of sales and sales training experience.

We will also provide you with the necessary scripts, powerpoint presentations, and any other materials you will need to make successful with us

NOTE >>> Rather than give you all the training at once for all of the services we provide, we will be breaking up the training into three parts beginning with the training for our Review Videos which will be the first service you will learn how to sell and be successful at.

After about TWO weeks of selling this service, and getting familiar with our selling process, we will give you access to the other services we provide.

NOTE >>> You should receive an email NO LATER than your first day with a link to access the training. If you have not received this link yet, then please inform your assigned sales manager immediately.

CONGRATULATIONS! Around your 3rd day after joining our team you should be ready to begin calling prospects. Your trial period will begin on your first day of calling

DON'T FORGET.....

For every sales consultant that you refer to our company, we will also pay you an additional 5% residual commission on ALL the recurring sales that THEY make.

For example:  

Let’s say you refer ONLY ONE sales consultant to our company and after a year (according to the sample chart above) they make a total of 138 sales. Now let’s say that only 50% of those sales converts into a monthly recurring client at just $197 per month.

This would bring their total recurring monthly sales up to: 69 sales  x  $297 = $20,493

(after 12 months)

$20,493 x 5% = $1,024 which goes to YOU each and every month IN ADDITION to the residual commissions you are already earning for yourself!

• Want to double that? Refer TWO sales consultants!
• Want to triple that? Refer THREE sales consultants!
