7 Habits of Highly Effective AGLOCO People

Source : www.aglocoblog.net

The seven habits from the highly popular book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey have motivated us in our search for success with AGLOCO.

Habit 1: Be Proactive

Be determined in your search to build your network. Marketing is key to getting referrals and you should use as many types of marketing techniques as possible. The Top Marketing Strategies, Offline Advertising, Viral Marketing and various other creative marketing methods will help in your search for more referrals. And don’t forget, keep searching for new ideas from fellow AGLOCO Members in forums and blogs.

Habit 2: Begin With The End in Mind

Have a goal of how many referrals you want in your network and keep working till you get it. We had our first goal of 1000 Direct referrals and got it within two months. So now on to our goal of 10 000 total referrals by the end of the year 2007.

Habit 3: Put First Things First

Prioritize what you want to do. It’s obvious that you need to email your friends first about AGLOCO. After that, you’ll need a blog followed by a splash page for your marketing campaigns. You can get a free blog at Blogger.com and free splash Page at AGLOCONNECT (view our free AGLOCONNECT Splash Page). Participate in forums and other social networks like Myspace. Get your site listed at AglocoDirectory and other Blog Directories / Topsites for free daily traffic. Don’t leave anything to chance.

Habit 4: Think Win / Win

So why would a new prospect join under you? What can YOU offer them which will be different from others before you think what can you gain from them in return? Our set thinking is that we help our downlines expand their network which in turns expand ours. More money for them means more for us. It’s a win-win relationship.

That is why, as of right now, we place AGLOCO Recruiting Tips on our blog and ALSO on our splash page. Because of this latest move of adding AGLOCO Referral Tips in our campaigns, our extended network is currently growing daily at a faster rate than our direct network and we’re hoping it will stay that way and overtake our overall direct referrals total in future.

Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood

Understand AGLOCO. Read their FAQ, news updates on their official blog, posts from other bloggers, articles and forums. Learn how successful members explode their network and then reach out to new prospects by following or improvisng their marketing efforts. It’s better than sitting down on the computer chair and hoping someone sign up under you by chance.

Habit 6: Synergize

Work with other bloggers, not compete with them. We are in the same boat so let’s ride it together. Feature their articles, ideas and links on your blog and they’ll do the same favour in return. Exchange links with other bloggers on your blogroll. Google likes it when you do that and place your site higher in their search engine.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

Renew yourself. Relax, make new friends, take a break sometime and more importantly, enjoy the journey.
