Well don’t worry, we have all been there. I doubt there is a single network marketer or homeworker out there who hasn’t at some point in their career fallen for an envelope stuffing scheme, been talked into selling potions and pills, tried chain letters etc. But important thing is to learn from your mistakes and take something from every experience.

My first venture into working from home came when I answered an advert in a local paper which stated I could be earning £2000 a week part time, all I had to do was call. So I did and ended up trailing along to a meeting about how much money one could make from selling herbal diet supplements and how easy it all was. So I signed up and paid £200 for starter pack. Full of enthusiasm I started my 68 year old gran off on diet. Well first week she lost a few pounds and all was going well. I paid out another £100 to have a load of leaflets printed and spent hours putting these on car windscreens. By second week, gran had given up on diet as stuff ‘tasted funny’ and she was bored with a milkshake three times a day!

My name is Jeff Schuman from Highlands Ranch, Colorado. In last 10 years I have made sales totalling over $30 Million Dollars. During that time I began to analyze exactly what it took to make a sale.

Ultimately I came up with my own "Amazing Sales Formula" that included 6 elements present in sales process leading to sale of a product or service.

I have ended up putting these in a FREE 8 day eCourse which I have titled "P" Your Way To Online Business Success" with Products, People, Pricing, Promotions, Persistence, and Profits.

I found when I had all 6 of these "P" words in place and working in my favor I could not fail. If I left out even one of these I found my sales closing percentage went down. It became even more apparent to me when I began to develop TeamSchuman.Com that to make money with my own home business I had to work with all 6 of these as well.

Every successful home based business or internet marketing business has a great product or products they market. People will buy almost anything from you if they have a need, interest or a desire. If you can get 2 out of these 3 working in your favor then your sales closing percentage will go up. I always found that was easier when dealing with a great product.

Then I have found over years there is no substitute for experience. Find and work with a great mentor. There are great people all over internet willing to help you sell your great product in your home business. There are millions of products being sold everyday on world wide web. How do you compete? How do you make people aware of your great product?
