The Reversing Factor

Posted on February 15, 2012 by brm

Open MindIt was an important decision so I was deliberate in making my selection. In the end I was disappointed and vowed to never purchase anything ever again from that manufacturer. It was a position I maintained for years and openly shared with friends.  Several years later, I found myself in the same situation, looking to replace my previous purchase.

I logged into my Consumer Reports account. And there it was. The Reversing Factor. The maker of the highest rated product was none other than the manufacturer that I had written off. I was skeptical. But, what did the experts have to say? Consumer Reports is an expert, independent organization whose mission is to provide objective ratings and reviews. Consumer Reports said it was a best buy, good value, and a reliable product. My position softened. And, after consideration and research, I followed their recommendation.

This is what I call The Reversing Factor.  Nothing is more influential in reversing a point of view than the unbiased, objective opinion of a trusted and recognized expert.

So, what does the world’s leading author and expert on leadership have to say about Ambit Energy?  And, how can our newest recruiting tool, “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership in Ambit Energy” CD set be used to create The Reversing Factor for those that seem unopen to network marketing?  Get to our special edition Power Trip and find out!

NEW YORK – February 18

DALLAS -  March  24

Hurry. Online registration for New York ends Friday (February 17th) at noon.

And yes, I was pleased with my second purchase.  The experts were right.

Ambit Leaders Partner with John C. Maxwell

Posted on January 20, 2012 by brm

John Maxwell with the Ambit Energy LeadersIt was a memorable event. Months earlier, I had joined John’s coaching and mentoring certification program to become a certified John Maxwell coach.  But it was through Ambit Energy that another of my lifelong dreams was achieved.  In mid-December I had the privilege of spending time and getting personal one-on-one coaching from my mentor, Dr. John C. Maxwell.  Better yet, I got to share that extraordinary experience with my fellow Ambit leaders and co-founders, Jere Thompson, Jr. and Chris Chambless.

It was a night of acknowledgement and celebration. John was graciously posing for photos and signing books for everyone. He treated us all to a gourmet dinner. A great thrill and personal source of pride was hearing the world’s most influential expert on leadership express his praise and admiration for our leaders, things such as, “I think Ambit Energy is a lid lifter” and “You are a lid lifter.”  Two of my favorites are when John said, “The DNA of this organization is to add value to people.” The other is when he said to Jere Thompson: “I would join your company in a heartbeat… I’d love to follow you, because you, Jere, are a wonderful leader.”

Not to mention his enthusiasm for the network marketing model. After all, at its core, network marketing is the business of “leaders developing leaders.”

Each of our leaders was personally interviewed by Dr. Maxwell.  It was all captured on audio to create what I believe will be the most powerful recruiting tool in Ambit Energy’s history – The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership in Ambit Energy.

Get a sneak preview here.

Tell me, what could be stronger than the praise and endorsement from the world’s most influential expert and best-selling author on the subject of leadership?

5 Great Ways to Use Facebook to Grow Your Ambit Energy Business

Posted on October 21, 2011 by brm

By now you should know that the only way to enroll new consultants and grow your business is by using the 4-Step Proven Ambit System. It begins with the Written List of who you know. Your Facebook friends are a rich source of leads. You connect there with family, friends, church members, high school classmates, and military buddies. There are 800 million people using Facebook – how can you leverage that power to grow your business?

Lori Peterson, says she utilizes Facebook by using her story in subtle ways to see who is curious. “When I first joined Facebook I simply posted my status as: ‘Setting off on a new adventure. Going to be busier than ever.’ A friend contacted me almost immediately to ask what the new adventure was. He became my first customer within 30 minutes of my joining Ambit.”

Tracy Wattleworth O’Halloran said she “posted the Ambit INC 500 article and the revenue of the company, and someone emailed me immediately inquiring about getting in the business.”

What can YOU do to use Facebook with the Ambit System? Here are five key strategies designed to help you grow your business.

1. The Friend List. Building, maintaining and growing a strong written list is a foundational necessity for your business. Review your Facebook friends and add them to your written list. People’s situations change and going back over your friend list might unearth some surprising prospects, whether you spoke last week or years ago. It’s time to rekindle the friendships.

2. The Cyber Favor. When you talk with friends in person or online ask if they would be willing share something on their Facebook page. This is another great way to find new Ambit customers and consultants. You can also share Event invitations – Hundreds of invitations to the Mad Man Marathon were shared, which helped everyone enroll more new consultants.

When contacting friends in private Facebook messages make it personal. Don’t contact 20 people in the same Facebook message and expect to get results. Send personalized notes to contacts who you think could be helpful and willing to share Ambit events and messages with their friends.

3. Groups. In Facebook you have the ability to organize your friends in groups. You can make the group public or private for those you invite. You can setup a group just for Ambit consultants in your downline. This can be a terrific way to get your team together and hold a discussion after a training or call, discuss plans, share resources and generally gather in a private area on Facebook. It can be an ideal platform to share action plans, support your team, and hold each other accountable.

4. Get Support. Upline getting you down? Need a little inspiration after a prospect you were sure would say yes gives you a no? Head to Facebook. The Top Ambit Leader Page is a thriving community with consultants eager to help you with any challenges you may have with your business. I have even seen consultants that have never met in person come together on my Page to act as accountability partners! The page is full of inspiration, information, and terrific people. It’s a great place to ask how do I do this, where can I find information on that, and build support systems.

5. Recognition and Gratitude. Facebook is an excellent forum to publically recognize new consultants, new promotions and the hard work your team is doing. When you help new consultants join the Top Ambit Leader Page, you are plugging them into a system and support structure quickly and easily.

The Top Ambit Leader page encourages participation every day, but we recently added two new weekly features on Facebook.
• Tell Us Tuesdays: Consultants share their success stories each Tuesday from the past week.
• Thank You Wednesdays: Public displays of gratitude every Wednesday on the Top Ambit Leader Wall.

To help with public recognition Facebook has a feature that allows you to “tag” friends by adding the “@” symbol directly preceding the name of a person you mention (no extra spaces!) on a Wall posting. This will automatically put the same message on your friends Wall so they can see what you said about them.

Now it’s time to take action. Review you Facebook friends and start adding them to your written list. As you use Facebook for your Ambit business, we want to know how you are doing. Share your stories on Facebook.com/TopAmbitLeader and join the conversation. Participate and help others and you will find a generous community.

Brian

Is Your Hard Work Paying Off?

Posted on October 13, 2011 by brm

In the excitement of TRIPLE/DOUBLE BONUSES our Ambit organization has been absolutely energized. From our top income earners all the way to consultants that have not been concentrating on their Ambit business and even brand new consultants.

Records have been broken and enrollments are at an all time high! Ensure that your income is too! There is no better way to keep your new Ambit consultant motivated and working their new business than getting a check in their hands as quickly as possible.

This is a great time to sign into Power Zone and review your CLB (Customer Leadership Bonus) Report. On a single scrolling screen you can view new enrollments in your entire coded downline to see who is gathering their customers, triggering their bonuses, how many days they have left to qualify for bonuses, how many customers are needed and who may need assistance.

Additionally, this report is color coded with commission “to be paid on” dates and contact information for each consultant. It gives you an overview of your business at a glance.

Don’t let your TRIPLE/DOUBLE bonuses scroll off the screen without triggering bonuses for you and your team!

Why Ambit Energy is the Opportunity of a Lifetime

Posted on October 6, 2011 by brm

I am proud to announce that last week’s Mad Man Sizzle Call Marathon broke Ambit Energy records for new consultant enrollments. In less than 24 hours we added 1,600 new consultants to my downline alone. The campaign was wildly successful, and with Ambit’s extension of the Triple Double bonuses until October 15th, the requests have been piling in for an encore! Therefore, I am pleased to announce a Mad Man Sizzle Call Marathon Number Two!

The second Mad Man Sizzle Call Marathon will take place on October 14th from 7:00 pm -10:00 pm Central and October 15th from 10:00 am – 10:30 pm. You can even RSVP to the event on Facebook. Many Ambit Consultants have found these energetic 10 minute calls to be instrumental in getting their prospects off the fence and into their business.

Below is an overview of what your prospects hear in a typical Mad Man Sizzle call – hopefully this will be another tool to help you master your approach and presentations.

Most success stories depend a great deal on being in the right place at the right time. If you are looking at the Ambit Energy opportunity, you are looking at the right company at the right time. You are at point A financially, and you want to get to point B. Ambit is the best vehicle in America today to create positive financial change.

What Makes Us Different:

• Unlike most direct selling companies offering products at above retail price, Ambit Energy actually offers services at below retail cost. So you don’t have to feel bad taking advantage of your friends and family, you are helping them save money. In many states we guarantee that, and many customers choose to take advantage of our referral program to earn FREE energy and travel rewards!

• When your product is energy, everyone already uses the product. Every time someone turns on a light switch, uses their air conditioner, uses a refrigerator, or plugs in a toaster they are using our product. Ambit Energy is a public utility that is unconsciously purchased and habitually used. It’s like owning a tollbooth. And as long as you customers pay their bill, you will earn residual income in perpetuity! This could affect not only your life but your grandkids’ lives.

• There is no product education. We sell gas and electricity. Any questions on what those things are or do for you? Right, moving on…

• Because of the tremendous infrastructure that Ambit Energy has built to support consultants, we don’t actually sell anything. We collect no money. All we do is consumer education – we help people save money on their electricity bill.

• Finally, there is no change in how the consumer buys the product. The customer who switches to Ambit Energy doesn’t pay a dime to do so, it takes five minutes, and they continue to write the same check for their utilities every month. The only change is that their bill is now less!

Leadership:

• Jere Thompson, Jr., Co-founder & CEO – Jere is the grandson of the founder of 7/11. A skilled entrepreneur in his own right, Jere founded CapRock Fiber Networks in 1992 and as CEO guided CapRock into new markets, took the company public and managed its growth from infancy to 1,300 employees and $300 million in annual revenues.

• Chris Chambless, Co-founder & CMO – Chris previously worked on building and growing Excel Communications, one of only a handful of companies ever to be worth a billion dollars.

• Cynthia Young , Chief Services Officer – Cynthia previously served in a variety of human resources, customer service and communications leadership roles at Southwest Airlines for 25 years. She now oversees Ambit Energy’s People Department, Internal Training, Administration, and Customer Service, both internal and external.

• John Burke, Co-founder & CIO – John Burke was named in InfoWorld’s CTO 25 2010 and ComputerWorld’s Premier 100 IT Leaders 2009. He is Co-Founder and Chief Information Officer of Ambit Energy. He has over 15 years of experience working in the electric utilities, telecommunications, financial services, and venture capital and software development industries.

Track Record:

Ambit Energy is only a five year old company, and right now our services are only partially deployed in 6 states, but so far we have achieved epic success.

Facts About Ambit Energy

• In 2010 Inc. Magazine named Ambit the #1 Fastest Growing Privately held Company in America.

• There are only a handful of companies to ever reach annual revenues of a billion dollars without merger or acquisition. Microsoft did it in ten years. Excel Communications, where both Chris Chambless and I previously held leadership roles, did it in seven years. Google did it in six, Facebook did it in four. Groupon recently shattered that record and did it in two years. Ambit Energy is on track to do it in 2012, putting it on par with Google.

• We are partnered with the second largest and the most profitable business in the world, Shell Trading.

Now I have just one question for you. Did that all make sense to you? And if so, are you ready to get started?

Basic Training – 5 Fundamentals for Success in Ambit Energy and in Life

Posted on September 22, 2011 by brm

From time to time, we all get too big for our britches. We are moving so fast we forget the fundamentals of our game. Some of my readers might be new to Ambit Energy, and if that’s you, welcome to the ride of your life. These basic truisms are a blueprint for success – I hope that you are able to take them to heart. For the consultants that have been around a little longer, ask yourself if you are still living these basic principles.

1. The key to success in our business is a consistent and persistent effort over time. There are people in Ambit working 80 hours/week every week and seeing incredible results. But not everyone can make that kind of commitment. If all you can do is work your business ten hours a week, then just make sure you always put in those ten hours and let nothing stop you from doing that. If somehow, despite your best effort, something happens to keep you from working those ten hours, make sure you have a plan to double up and make up for it next week. The important thing is consistency.

2. Promote in our marketing plan quickly, and help others promote quickly. You only get one chance to make a first impression and you only get one chance to begin your story with Ambit Energy. Begin as you mean to go on. The faster you promote, the faster your income will rise. When you bring in a new consultant, you need to keep their enthusiasm high. You know what does that? Money. When they get that first check, or now even sooner as they watch their revenue on Power Zone, it increases their belief in the business. The more you do something well, the more you are compelled to do it.

3. Recruiting someone is logical, but enrolling someone is emotional. Find out what someone wants, their WHY, and then show them how Ambit can help get it for them. Remember their reasons for joining, and commit to helping them achieve their dreams. If you bury yourself in the success of others, your own success becomes a byproduct.

4. Follow the system. We are in the business of duplication not innovation. You either work for a system or you have a system that works for you. If you just follow the proven training system, and practice it using your dynamic personality for leverage, you will succeed. You don’t have to re-invent the wheel; the best in the business freely share with you how they did it.

5. Efficiency is key. Spend your precious time with people that deserve your time, not people that need your time. When someone is hemming and hawing, move on! You don’t have time for people who don’t get it, or worse try to bring you down. Are you going to let someone else crush your dreams? YOU need to define and own your dreams; they must be your dreams and yours alone. When you are confident enough in your dream, you will stand firm and not waver in the face of criticism.

A hummingbird has to hit 1,800 flowers in a day to survive. He doesn’t get nectar in all of them, but that’s how many he has to hit to get enough food. You need to become a “Nectar Detector.” You are looking for like-minded, coachable people. There is a direct correlation between wealth and urgency. A prospect with nectar is one that’s willing and able to move NOW. But you will not succeed if you are not opening enough doors; you simply aren’t going to get to enough flowers to survive in this business. You need to learn to say “NEXT!” quickly.

There are two elements critical to your success in Ambit Energy. There’s the mechanics of the business – mastering identification, invitation, presentation and validation are essential to your success. But if your mind game, your beliefs about the business and yourself, your character and values, are off track, people will know. They will know, you will know, and you will fall short of your goals. A big part of working Ambit is working on you.

Do You Want to Be a Top Earner in Ambit Energy?

Posted on September 16, 2011 by brm

There’s a very old joke that a tourist in New York City stops to ask a local businessman “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” The local responds, “Practice, practice, practice.”

When you learned to ride a bike as a child you probably started by falling off and skinning your knee. You got back up and fell off again and skinned your elbow. But you kept getting back up until you made it from point A to point B and didn’t fall off the bike. Why did you endure that pain while you were in the awkward stage of learning to ride a bike? You wanted to move into the mechanical stage where you would go from point A to point B without falling. In the mechanical stage, as long as you are paying careful attention to what you are doing, you can ride around the block and not fall off – it became fun and exciting! Eventually you moved into the natural phase, the wind blew through your hair and you coasted downhill. It felt so good, almost like you were flying. You jumped curbs, rode with no hands on the handlebars and weaved in and out of traffic with ease.

A few people will pay the price to get so natural in riding the bike that they qualify to go on to the X Games. Well I was already X Games qualified when I joined Ambit Energy. I had scraped my knees in other businesses but never gave up on my dreams. I spent three decades learning how to mechanically build a sales and marketing organization. I was earning while I was learning and the journey was incredible but I didn’t show up day one making a ton of money. So if you are still in the awkward or mechanical phase don’t be discouraged. The important thing is that you keep getting up and trying again and again and again just like I had done for years prior to joining Ambit Energy.

Allow me ask you a question. What do you do for a living, besides or before Ambit Energy? Whatever you are doing, it took years to learn your profession through education, training, time and experience. Let’s say you are a teacher and I decided I wanted to become a teacher. If I paid a one-time fee of $429.00, received a kit on what to do to get started as a teacher, and watched a few videos online, do you think I could show up on the first day of school and be a very good teacher? Of course not! How unrealistic would it be to think you could? It’s pretty ridiculous if you think about it, right?

Ambit is no different. Ambit is not some get rich quick scheme – it requires real work to be successful. But if you put in the work, it is a vehicle of positive change in your life and can produce financial freedom for you and your family. Like any other business it takes time, training, experience and a burning desire to be successful. If you commit to doing the work, Ambit will work for you. Remember your Ambit Energy business will pose a series of small inconsequential choices and any one of those small choices by itself has little or no effect on your success with Ambit Energy. However, if you continue to make one poor choice after another the collective whole of those poor small choices can lead to the failure of your business. Choose to tie into our proven training system, go to local business presentations and trainings and most importantly continue to position yourself for success by making the choices that keep you charging hard towards your dream destination for your family’s future. Choose wisely – it is your life!
