We are seeking associates for the Connecticut Market

by

 We are searching for Motivated Representatives to help businesses save money,  become more sustainable,  more likeable,  and energy-efficient.

As Summer 2012 heats up we are offering exclusive territories to self motivated individuals who want to invest in their future by building a business. Can you walk through doors and teach people about sustainability? Would you offer to help your neighbors grow their business, reduce their energy use, earn federal rebates and save  money? Would you hand somebody a newspaper that carries local advertising and carries good news about your immediate community?

We will allow you to focus your efforts in your immediate zip code areas area, (initially restricted for the good of the organization and your personal success).  As you work through your probationary employment period you will be responsible for the  zip code defining your home office zip code. Actively marketing outside your area means you are not focused on fully developing your specific territory, which will be frowned upon.

Success in your primary area will open doors to more responsibility and opportunity in the fist ring of zip codes around your home office, the second.  Engaging friends and family anywhere will be encouraged in our new associate referral retention plan.  It’s that simple. Spreadsheet based commission splits that will spell out profits in your territory and your split outside your territory.

The Green Marketing Company is a full service marketing firm that partners with local print shops to provide marketing expertise to the local business community, both online and off. The Green Marketing Company seeks sales people who want to bring business development tools to the local market, including marketing, management, accounting and legal.  The print shops provide the brick and mortar presence in the community. We provide the sales team and online exposure. The sales team is able to provide cost-effective services, greater customer service and create one stop Business Development Centers with a green twist.

Your initial method of community contact will be spreading The Good Word, a single sheet newspaper, in your zip code areas.  You will pick up copies at your print center, then establish a schedule of business community networking and business development. More about this in your orientation.

Our goal is to help business lower expenses by 1)becoming more sustainable, 2)re-connected to their immediate base of potential customers,  3) discovering their second and third level and green connections, and 4)creating an expanded marketing budget from the savings that tells their market about the sustainable improvements that have saved them money.  This makes the business more likable, increasing customer loyalty and share holder earnings”, said Schappert.

We plan to work with 25 sales executives in CT.  New offices are being planned by  Sept  1, 2012 in Bridgeport, Hartford, Manchester, New London, Norwich, Middletown, Torrington, Farmington and Greenwich.  The website is available in 52 languages. David Carr (203.627.4213) will coordinate associates, assigning territory, developing a region specific business plan, tracking progress and supporting the  exponential business development of our associates.

“This is an innovative opportunity to provide one stop green business development services to Connecticut companies. I look forward to working with like-minded people.” ~ David Carr, CT Sales Manager, The Green Marketing Company.

We are searching for Sales Managers / Regional Leaders to open new markets.

Immediately, we are looking for leaders in every country in the world.

The Green Marketing Company will be exploding in 2012. One, just one person or entity will be granted exclusive territory and everyone else that comes in after will contribute to your profits. We are a social business enterprise with a profit share program. We are not a MLM / Multi Level Marketing business, but we learn from everyone. Exclusive territory means profits will stream through you from all other activity in your territory. You will not be limited to doing business in your territory, the world is your oyster. We will ask that you focus your efforts, for the greater good of the organization and your personal success. Actively marketing outside your territory means you are not focused on developing your specific territory, which will be frowned upon. Following up with friends and family anywhere will be encouraged. It’s that simple. There will be spreadsheet based commission splits that will spell out profits in your territory and your split outside your territory.

WE DO NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS YET

I just want to clear. As we build the team the knowledge base will increase exponentially and things will come together. Today I am offering the ability to reserve your territory at no cost. I need one leader for every country and one for every state. Not everyone will qualify. The most important attribute will be a genuine demonstrated passion to make the world a better place. The understanding that by helping others first you build a solid base for your long term happiness and success. We will make it simple for you, Do what we do, say what we say in your language and in your territory.

WE ARE BUILDING A TEAM

What can you bring to the table? Learn more about what I have built in the last few months starting with a 99 cent investment Take some time to reflect and ask yourself, what can I do to help? Don’t take too much time because territories will fill up fast. I am building a team, not looking for your hard-earned money. Two heads are better than one and 256 starts to make things happen.

OUR PAY PLAN

Below is a a short outline of income projections, we are still adjusting it to allow you to recruit over your level and earn, this would inspire everyone to hire people with more ability and be able to earn from them.

Base Sales Rep –   200,000 in sales, $35,000 in commissions @17.5%
Town Leader –      1,050,000 in sales, $52,000 in commissions @5.0% with 5 base reps
County Leader –    2,140,000 in sales, $64.200 in commissions @ 3.0% with 10 base reps and 2 town leaders
State Leader –     11,470,000 in sales, $114.700 in commissions @ 1.0% with 50 base reps, 25 town leaders, and 5 county leaders
National Leader – 53,800,000 in sales, $269.000 in commissions @ 0.5% with 250 base reps, 250 town leaders, 25 county leaders, and 10 state leaders

A national leader with no staff makes no money!!!  All need to recruit… We are now working on commission tracking to allow everyone to recruit over them.This is simply an example everyone is encouraged and able to sell services and increase income.

To qualify I need three things,

1. A résumé

2. A picture

3.Your Facebook profile

If chosen Your BIO, picture and Facebook account will be added to the team site, currently being developed at http://Green-Marketing.US and http://Green-Marketing.WS

Twitter accounts will be created for you specific to your location. We will get to know each other and develop a profitable business together that teaches people to do well by doing good. There is much created already but I don’t want to over promise on day one.

What you will need is access to the internet. You will simply repost what I post. I will give you a list of twitter accounts. You will need a list of the counties in your territory. I will create a series of twitter accounts that you will use to advertise and recruit.

Your purpose: to help people do well by doing good. We provide marketing and sustainability products and services that help people save money and grow their business. Specifically you will recruit a sales team to work under you, some you will train and some will teach us. You will also market our products and services.

Step one is to build the twitter accounts this gets the word out quickly. I will then send out a press release locally, nationally that you are heading up the Green Marketing Team in your territory. We will work together to contact local print shops, typically one in each county but it depends on the population. Roughly one shop per 50,000 -70,000 population. The print shops will provide all the literature you will need when going to meet with businesses.

We are finalizing the initial product offerings now, if you sold a website package or reputation management services you would get paid when their check clears. The accountant will set up your bank account on our online payment system and money will be deposited directly in to your account.

The position is pretty much lead generation. We will train you on the different programs but the most important part is a warm smile and a hand shake. Your job is more lead generation than sales. The cost reduction and commercial finance people pay us per lead, so you need to point people to the products and trained experienced sales people will sell for you. Obviously, the more you know, the more of a warm and fuzzy feeling the customers will get in your recommendation.

Most importantly you can start his part-time and could even recruit 5 sales people before you lose your day job. To apply please use this form Thank you! Please fill out the form as completely as possible, we are experiencing rapid growth and to be considered we need to have all the information in one place thank you. The more we know about you the easier the hiring decision becomes.

Beyond the Comfort Zone

http://api.tweetmeme.com/button.js?url=http%3A//www.tomhopkins.com/blog/goals/beyond-the-comfort-zone/&&source=tomhopkins&style=normal&b=2&o=http%3A//www.tomhopkins.com/blog/category/goals

The average human being has the ability to achieve almost anything. Lack of basic capability is rarely the problem–we all have great reserves of untapped power. The problem is almost always in finding out what we want. Before we go any further, let me define how I’m using the word “want” here. I’m not talking about mere wishes. I’m talking about wants that gnaw at you.

Maybe you think you don’t have any gnawing wants. If you think that, you’re wrong. You have the wants. But, they’re bottled up where you can’t get at them. They’ll stay there, too, coming out as blind resistance to change, refusal to put out extra effort or the insistence that all your problems are the cause of others.

What makes us bottle up all of our wants and desires? For most people, it’s the fear of failure. They’re plenty comfortable doing exactly what they’re doing today. They’re paying their bills and can have a nice two week vacation each year. But the desire for that extra special vacation is inside them waiting to be fulfilled. Their want of a nice, new car is starting to gnaw. Their children want to go to a better school than they can afford on their current income. After a while, they’re not so comfortable anymore with the way they’re living. They begin to realize that the pain of change they’ve feared has become a necessary evil to rid themselves of the pain of not having their wants fulfilled.

The way to see yourself clear of all of this pain is in planning–setting goals. You must set goals for yourself that make you stretch beyond your comfort zone. If you really want something, something that’ll make a difference in your life, you’ll be willing to make sacrifices to get it. You’ll deliberately change yourself and grow to get what you really want. But, you won’t do any of these things for mere wishes. That’s why you must put what you think you want on paper.

Next, your goals must be specific. Broad desires and lofty aims have no effect. Merely wanting to be somebody or having the determination to make it big isn’t enough. Until you translate your vague wishes into concrete goals and plans, you aren’t going to make much progress.

Your goals must also be believable. This is one of the more vital aspects of goal setting. If you don’t truly believe you can achieve a goal, you won’t pay the price for it.

The most effective goal is an exciting challenge. If your goal doesn’t push you beyond where you’ve been before–if it doesn’t demand your best and a bit more that you didn’t realize you had in you–it isn’t going to change your ways and elevate your lifestyle.

Set your goals right now and adjust them later if you decide you’ve aimed too high or too low. They aren’t carved in granite. So you get excited about something and after you learn more about it, decide you’ve reached too far. It’s okay to change. But don’t put off setting goals until you know more. Keep that level of excitement high.

Set short term goals for yourself so you can feel that sense of achievement soon. Short term goals shouldn’t be longer than 90 days. If you need to see results sooner than that, set a goal for 30 days or even a week. You have to do what feels right for you. Also, set up a reward program for yourself. It could be as simple as going to lunch at a new restaurant if you make 100 calls by a set date and time.

Include your loved ones in your goals. You’ll be amazed at how hard you can work when your kids know they’ll benefit from you reaching a goal. And, when their goals are intimately involved in yours, they’ll give you support and encouragement when you need it.

Set goals in all areas of your life. Goals aren’t just for making money. Set them for health, exercise, and to fulfill other personal and spiritual needs. Goal setting is too valuable a tool to reserve it only for your career achievements.

You must set aside time to review your goals on a regular basis. Check your progress, make adjustments and set new goals as the old ones are met.

The whole idea of goal setting is to plan your life rather than just letting it happen. I suggest you take charge and begin by planning 20 year goals. First, list the personal achievements you want to accomplish. Who and what do you want to be in 20 years? What do you want to own? Where, and in what kind of housing do you want to live? Again, you’re working with goals that can be changed. What are the status symbols you’ve always dreamed of? What do you want for your family?

Start thinking about the net worth you want to have 20 years down the road. Start watching your equity position now and get ready for the future. It only happens when you start writing down goals, working with them and causing your mind to reach out. Take a hard look at the future and at yourself. Say, “That’s the person I want to be in 20 years, and I’m willing and eager to pay the price to become that person.”

Once you have your 20 year goals sketched out, cut them in half and there are your 10 years goals. Halve them again, and you’ve got your five year goals. Do it one more time and your 30 month goals appear before your eyes. Then, set up your next 12 month’s goals. Work on this one carefully. Then, break your one year schedule of goals down to months, weeks and finally to goals for tomorrow and for each day of the coming week.

You might be thinking that this will take a lot of time. Think about this: Isn’t making a success of your life worth a little time? But let’s be honest, it’s not the time that’s troubling you. It’s the idea of submitting to a form of discipline, even self-imposed discipline. Think that through before you decide to turn away from this idea because if you’re not willing to accept your own discipline, you’re going to accomplish only 2% of what you could and you’re going to miss out on 98% of the good things you could have.

Get What You Want in 2012 by Wendy Lipton-Dibner

It’s the time of year when people all over the world launch their annual process of goal setting.

I’m going to work out every day!

I’m going to send ‘Thank You’ notes to everyone!

I’m going to spend one hour a day cold calling!

THIS is the year I hit the Million Dollar Club!

Yep. Every year we set our goals for the next 12 months. The question is: What can you do now that will assure you’ll actually achieve your goals in 2012?

Would you believe you’re only 3 simple steps away from getting everything you truly want? And would you be surprised if I told you those same 3 steps could help you double your sales in fewer than 30 days? I’ve seen it happen over and over. So now let’s make it happen for you and then you can make it happen for everyone else!

First, let’s get real – serious success only happens when we take effective action. I’ve spent 30 years studying what really moves people to action and it turns out it takes 3 specific components:

DESIRE: You have to want something badly enough to do what it takes to get it

RESOURCES: You have to be able to take effective action

PERMISSION: You have to be willing to do what it takes and live with the consequences of your actions

DESIRE + RESOURCES + PERMISSION = ACTION©

STEP 1: Discover Your Burning Desires

All motivation gurus agree we need to establish clear goals to be motivated. But I’ve found goals aren’t enough to keep us moving when the going gets really tough, when we have to do things that aren’t fun or when we’re just in a slump. At those times the critical issue is: what will your goals get for you and is that enough?

Ask yourself this question:

  • If I woke up tomorrow morning and magically found I had everything I truly wanted, what would my life look like?

Write down your answer and be really specific. Spell out everything you would have, be and do in your ideal life and leave nothing out. Then ask yourself one more question:

  • If I got all of that, what would it get for me?

Write down that answer and then ask again: And what would that get for me? Use that to propel you forward and you’ll be compelled to forge ahead – no matter what.

STEP 2: Identify Your Critical Resources

No matter how much we want something, DESIRE is useless unless we are ABLE to do what it takes to get what we want. So, the second component of the Action Formula©™ is RESOURCES.

RESOURCES are all of the things that make it possible for us to be able to take effective action, including skills, supplies, money, time, health and people.
Ask yourself:

  • What resources do I need so I’ll be able to get my DESIRES?
  • Which resources do I already have that I can use?
  • How will I get the resources I’m missing?

Write this down and you’ll see precisely what you need to do to get all of your ducks in a row.

Step 3: Give Yourself Permission to Succeed

The 3rd component of the ACTION Formula©™ is PERMISSION. You might be surprised how many people stop themselves from letting themselves have what they truly want – simply because they haven’t addressed the psychology that blocks their success. But you don’t need psychotherapy to make it happen! Just ask yourself:

  • What’s the downside of my success and what will I do to deal with that?
  • What personal or family rules would I be breaking if I took action and succeeded and what new rules will I create to clear the path?
  • What’s scary about all of this and what do I need to believe about myself so I can get past my fear?

Once you discover how you are stopping yourself, you can then give yourself PERMISSION to go for what you truly want.

Put it all together

Any time you can’t quite achieve your goals, just stop and ask yourself, Which component am I missing in the Action FormulaTM? Then address that missing link. P.S. – Ask the same question whenever your sales cycle stalls and you’ll find more often than not, “no” has nothing to do with the money!

Remember: life is too short to settle for less than you truly want. So use the Action FormulaTM and make 2012 the year you finally get what you truly want – in your business and your life!

My Top 10 Sales Tips By TOM SZAKY Courtesy of TerraCycle.Jo ,

TerraCycle’s vice president of business development.Sustainable ProfitsThe challenges of a waste-recycling business.My biggest sales lesson came from a good friend who is now our head of Canadian business development (a fancy term for sales), Robin Tator. Robin taught me that sales is not about what you are selling, but about making friends and about getting someone to see the world the way you do. If you do that, everything else will take care of itself.Sales can be a melancholy job. On one hand, many people (especially nonsales people) feel that it’s sleazy and lowbrow. On the other hand, it can be the most important function of a business. Until there’s a sale, there is no business. Personally, I’ve gone from thinking the former to believing the latter and honing my skills over a decade to where today I am effectively the chief sales officer of TerraCycle. I don’t know exactly when this transition happened, but it took me a few years to embrace the power of sales the way I do today.I recently wrote a friend who is starting a nonprofit and suggested that the role of a company leader is to become the chief convincing officer. In the end these two titles are synonymous, because selling is really the art of convincing someone to believe and buy into your concept, whether by buying your product or service or by investing in your company or by working for your company.Here are my top 10 sales tips, all of which have served me and our staff — including Jo Opot, pictured above — for years: You can sell only if you yourself are convinced: If you are not sold on the product or service, it will be an uphill battle to sell someone on else. Your lack of conviction will scream through.Be clear and direct: When pitching do not use complicated diction. Pride yourself instead on being able to explain the concept as quickly, clearly and simply as possible. This is important because the biggest problem in sales is client confusion. Confusion does not lead to a Yes.Pressure is an art: Creating FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) in your client’s mind can be a good thing because it will lead to serious consideration of your concept. In the TerraCycle world, we award brand exclusivity by country and by category. I often need to tell potential clients that their competition is also talking with us. The trick is to mention this once and to NOT rub it in, which is likely to anger them. No one who is angered into saying Yes.Know your client: Make sure to research your potential clients, know their challenges and their needs. One size hardly ever fits all, and you look much stronger if you care about the business enough to invest in the research. I can’t tell you how many times

The “I can get it cheaper” Close

Even if you’re brand new to selling, you will have likely hear this one from clients. Nearly all of them say it. Some may use different forms such as wanting to shop around or look for a better bargain but it means the same thing. It’s nothing more than a little sign of fear on the part of the buyer.

Their fear is twofold. One fear is that they’re making a bad decision. The other is that they will part with too much of their money for what they’re gaining in benefits. Either way, they’re telling you that they do want your product. Your job is to calm those emotional fears and help them to rationalize the decision.

Begin by agreeing with them. Say, “That may well be true, Jerry. And after all in today’s economy, we all want the most for our money. A truth that I have learned over the years is that the cheapest price is not always what we really want. Most people look for three things when making an investment (or purchase).

The finest quality

The best service

The lowest price

I have never yet found a company that could provide all three–the finest quality and the best service at the lowest price. I’m curious, Jerry, for your long-term happiness, which of those three would you be most willing to give up? Quality? Service? Or, low price?”

Rarely will clients want to skimp on quality or service. What you’ve done with these words is to remind them–in a kind and gentle way–that you get what you pay for. This reinforces the benefits you’ve already discussed with them as being of tremendous value. This should put a little doubt in their minds about the quality of product and service they might get elsewhere while trying to save a few dollars.
