Join the FOL Tag Team

Here's a very POWERFUL technique that really works well… TAGGING.

Let me explain what tagging is…

It basically is a way to conduct a "virtual handshake" with a new member of the team or a potential team member.

Here's how it works… if Joe sends you an email and it says… "Hey Howard, or Kristi, or Harold, Please "TAG" my new contact SUSIE Q ! She is looking at FOL and has some concerns about training or taxes or cost or whatever.

What you do next is to write a BRIEF email to SUSIE Q, with a subject line like "Hello from (wherever you are)". You'll want to share your personal experience with the Follow Our Lead team. You might want to say a little something about yourself and how the team or one of our products has helped you. If you know what the prospects main concern is, it would be helpful to address that issue from your personal perspective.

"WOW!" she is going to say once she starts getting emails from around the country about FOL and how we work as a team and she can count on each team player for support.

EMAIL TIP: You don't have to write a new email every time you get a TAG request. Simply create a "generic" email with your story and save it. Then, when you get a TAG request, simply open that saved email (or copy and paste), add a few lines addressing the prospects specific issues, change the FOL URL to that of the person requesting the TAG, change the recipients name and email address, and send it.

Be sure to CC (carbon copy) or BCC (blind carbon copy) Joe, or whoever requested the TAG so they will know you've done your part.

Why is that important? Because one day you will need a TAG for your contacts and you'll want others on your team to reciprocate by sending TAG messages on your behalf.

See how it works… in fact it worked very well for me and others and our organizations EXPLODED…

Here is an example of where tagging can be very powerful. Say you have a prospect who is asking how FOL can work for them and you know a little about them already. If you know someone on the team who shares something similar to your prospect, send them a request
to TAG your prospect. They might be able to better explain to your prospect how FOL works in their particular situation.

Here's some more examples where tagging can be very effective. Could a stay-at-home single mom better answer questions from prospects who are also stay-at-home single moms? Could someone one our team who works their FOL business only a few hours a week perhaps share with a prospect how they can be successful when they only want to work a few hours a week.

Are you beginning to see the power in this? Get to know those in our team so you can later match prospects for tagging with someone with personal experience in the issue your prospect in asking about.

DO NOT use this tagging technique with ALL of your leads. It works best only for those HOT leads you have personally spoken with on the phone or have exchanged a personal email with. We don't want to send unwanted emails to the casual tire-kickers, but only those who have
specifically somehow "raised their hand" for more information.

Also, DO NOT use this to prospect the person into another of your business opportunities or your personal downline. You're helping your team member to succeed and you'll want to direct all references in your email back to the original person requesting the TAG. It will only work as we work together as a team. Use this technique to help your team grow.

Now, talk with your upline and downline and get everyone together on the TAG team today.
