How Much Can You Earn in ANNUAL Compensation with Small Talk? $56,298 to $180,860 to $123,243 to $790,415 to $561,447 to $2,876,495. There’s nothing more important to growing your business than how you present it. Businesses are built on a foundation of others trusting what you have to say about what you’re selling.
If you present it in a subpar manner, you’re going to have a subpar business. But if you completely nail it you’ll ignite enthusiasm and light a fire under prospects to get involved.
Delivering a killer presentation doesn’t need to be stressful or overwhelming. It just needs to be done with attention to a few key small talk factors.
[1]: Remember the Mission of Your Presentation
A lot of presenters make the mistake of focusing all of their attention on the facts and data they want to share and not enough on the reason they’re sharing that data in the first place, which is to get people invested in the business.
Facts and figures are great for contextual purposes, but it’s more important to focus on making your audience feel like they can do what you’re doing. Therefore, you want to spend plenty of time sharing real-life experiences, anecdotes, and digestible directives that your audience can relate to and picture themselves doing.
[2]: Show a Willingness to Be Vulnerable
Vulnerability is one of the few things all humans have in common, so showing yours is a no-fail way to help your audience feel more connected to you. Now, this doesn’t mean you have to spill your deepest, darkest secrets to a room full of strangers. Instead, be willing to say what mistakes you’ve made along the way, how much you’re still learning, and what you would’ve done differently. People will be much more inclined to trust and relate to you if you’re authentic than if you come across as a know-it-all.
[3]: Talk About the Good and the Bad
Of course you want to emphasize all of the benefits of your business, but if you don’t point out any of the downsides, your audience is going to find it tough to trust you—after all, most people know that there’s no such thing as an opportunity without risks. So, prepare to highlight all of the life-changing, super awesome benefits of your business, but also take care to pepper in a few potential drawbacks (along with your proposed solutions to those drawbacks). This way, your audience will feel like it’s getting a truthful, well-rounded picture of the venture.
[4]: Have Fun With It
Audiences have a tendency to mirror the feelings and emotions of those presenting, so if you’re dry, bored, or disengaged, you can bet they will be too. If you want your audience to get excited about your venture, then you have to show your own excitement. Tap into your personal passions and enthusiasm for your business and share it openly; be conversational, playful, and don’t be afraid to crack a joke or two. Even if your jokes are bad, it’ll lighten the mood and help your audience relax and receive what you’re delivering.
[5]: Stages of Talking to a Prospect
Talking to a prospect can stink…There is a whole process and set of skills that go into helping a prospect decide whether they want to be a part of your opportunity or not. Sometimes that process can go well… Sometimes it doesn’t…
Here are the 15 stages of talking to a business prospect…
#1 Striking Up a Conversation with a Prospect and Forming a Relationship
#2 Forming a Relationship with a Prospect on Social Media
#3 Getting Ready to Call Your Prospect to Make the Invite
#4 Inviting Your Prospect to Hear about Your Opportunity/Product
#5 Getting Ready for the Presentation
#6 How You Expect Your Prospects to React
#7 How They Actually React
#8 When You Give a Killer Presentation
#9 When They Ask if it is a Pyramid Scheme
#10 When They Say They Need to Think About It
#11 Calling Yours Prospects Later to Follow Up
#12 When They Admit They Didn’t Read Through the Material You Gave Them
#13 Trying to Get the Prospect to Set Up Another Exposure
#14 When They Finally Decide They Just Aren’t Interested
#15 When They Make the Decision to Sign Up!
Talking to a prospect can bring up a lot of different emotions. When you develop and master the skills of prospecting, those emotions don’t overwhelm you as much. And you’ll find that more often than not, your prospecting experience will be a good one.
[6]: Talking to a Prospect with Stories
Telling stories is one of the most powerful means that leaders have to influence, teach, and inspire. Telling stories is as basic to human beings as eating. More so, in fact, for while food makes us live, stories are what make our lives worth living.
In our information-saturated age, business leaders won’t be heard unless they’re telling stories. Facts and figures and all the rational things that we think are important in the business world are not.
Analogies, stories, fables and case-studies are great ways to illustrate teaching, training and business lessons. Stories, examples, fables and research references add colour and substance to presentations and reports, and reinforce learning of all types.
There are 5 stories you must become an expert at:
- Your Personal Story
- Your Business Opportunity Story
- Your Getting Started Story
- Your Business Skills and Training Story
- Your Signature Story-Your Success Story
What makes storytelling so effective for learning?
Storytelling has always been an integral part of our lives. But stories are more than just entertainment. Starting back in the ancient times, people have used stories to communicate, learn, and connect with each other. Stories allow people to share knowledge and emotions, identify truths, find themselves and their place in communities, and make sense of the world they live in. And thus people are conditioned to look for stories in order to make decisions — in order to find value.
Increasingly, businesses are recognizing the importance of storytelling as a leadership and management skill. In a time when employees desire a greater sense of purpose and meaning from work, the stories a business tells – where it’s been, where it is going, what its challenges are – are not only elegant ways in which to communicate facts, they are an opportunity to engage and empower employees.
Essentially, the user stories make up the product backlog that describes the functionality and incremental changes that are to be added over the course of the project. This is why it’s important that these stories are discussed because some of them (especially the ones from the product owner or client) are going to be epic.
Stories that will answer the most important question — why should they care. And thus the challenge of each business is to use storytelling in order to answer the most basic question for any product: why should people care — why should their customers, employees, or investors care.
By sharing through stories, we are better able to live together.
Because stories can elicit powerful emotional responses, they are powerful tools. They can be used to persuade people and change societies, and they have — with good and bad results. That’s why criticism of stories is essential as well.
[1]: Personal Story Instruction:
- Be a collector of stories. You need to have a story for every occasion. Find them in your upline, inside your business, in breakthroughs, and anywhere else you can.
- The four elements of your story are 1) your background 2) the things you did not like about your background 3) the solution you discovered and 4) how you feel about the future. Of those four, #2 is the most important — pain is most relatable.
- Ordinary is better than extraordinary: one-in-a-million stories are for one person, but something ordinary helps the masses.
- Talk about feelings, not facts. Even if you are just getting started, you still have a story to tell.
- When you are telling your story, mix things up a little. Change your voice, lean in — it will naturally draw people in and get them to engage more. Turn your voice up at the ends of sentences, picking up pace, volume, and tone.
My Story
Background-former US Army Special Forces, University Instructor, Minister, etc.
My Past: What I did not like about my past was all the work I did without the time and money. My time was taken but there was always a lack of funds. To many politics. too much BS.
I Found Something. The business as a solution to my past challenges.
A friend invited me to a meeting that changed my life. Doing this business, I found more time any money. I saw an incredible way to help people earn, have time with their families, and take care of their finances and health. I see an incredible future in this industry not only for myself nut for all people who join us.
Pain was Unbearable. Vietnam was painful. Pain of working for others was generally more than I wanted. The pain of having no way out was big nightmare.
How I feel about the future. I am thrilled and feel great because I feel I have time for my family, I have more optimism about my future. I have more time and money with a greeater future.

- These 5 Business Elements: As a business coach coaching a client, I would recommend that if they are looking at an opportunity, they consider these 5 Business Elements. In evaluating any business, they need to look at key elements of the business. If the Elements are present, I would recommend a client move forward.
Let us consider those elements:
Element 1: The Product – In my experience I recommend a client get the answers to 4 product questions:
- Is there a need for the product?
- Does the product meet the need?
- Is the product priced to sell-Will people pay that price asked for the products?
- Are the products priced for profit?
Element 2: The Company
If my client is comfortable with the products, I would recommend asking does the Company have what it takes to survive in the Market Place. Describe Company.
Element 3: Compensation- If my client is comfortable with the products, I would recommend the client consider if they can you make Money with the opportunity.
As a business coach I would recommend the client look to answer these 3 questions. Can they:
- Make Money Quickly
- If they put in a reasonable part time effort can they make a reasonable income?
- If there an opportunity is it sustainable
Element 4: Support:
In typical ventures people do not receive support. They are the support but, in this company, you get support. You are in business but not by yourself. Now you can leverage your time and money.
Element 5: Timing
In business it is timing that will make you successful. As a business coach I recommend that the timing is if good if the opportunity is stable. What I have found is that this company is stable because it has been in business since 1959. It has 60 years of stability. The big growth is to come. Not only that it has paid out over $60 billion in commissions to people working with it. It has never missed making a payment to anyone.
Summary:
As a business coach I recommend to clients that they get involved with the opportunity….
As I told you in the introduction, I told you, you need to cover these 4 points.
Let’s go over what we just duscussed. I am going to tell them what I just told you.
CALL TO ACTION
Finally, as a business coach I recommend to clients that they get involved with the opportunity by taking certain steps:
- Steps to get started are:

[5]: My Signature Story: A signature story needs to: Be intriguing—some combination of thought-provoking, novel, provocative, interesting, informative, newsworthy or entertaining to the audience.
Be authentic—the audience cannot perceive the story to be phony, contrived or a transparent selling effort. Further, there should be substance behind the story and its message in the form of programs, policies or transparency that support it.
A good story wraps itself around you and whisks you into its world. It lingers in your mind long after it’s over. Its main characters are people you miss when the story is over. So how do you create a truly great story?
Here’s a quick recap of our deep dive into the topic of your Signature Talk:
- Start with an opening “heart” story. Use it to really connect with your audience.
- The second section of your talk is content: Don’t mention a company, product or opportunity — your purpose is to help people with their problem.
- Next, deliver a call to action. Just one! It’s the one thing you want them to do.
- Close it out with an inspiring and emotional finish. This is your last chance to really make an impact!
These four things will make you an expert presenter. The Signature Talk changes the game — once you change your own mind, you can start to change others’ minds.
The Five Essential Elements of a Great Story
Storytelling is an art form. A good story wraps itself around you and whisks you into its world. It lingers in your mind long after it’s over. Its main characters are people you miss when the story is over. So how do you create a truly great story? No matter the genre, there are common elements to every extraordinary novel or memoir. Here’s a list of five elements you must include in your book.
Protagonist
The protagonist is the main character of a story. Also known as the hero, or the lead, the protagonist must have clearly defined inward and outward goals. This is the character that readers need to care about, empathize with, and understand. A strong protagonist should have some larger-than-life characteristics.
In real ways, this character should be more attractive, more cunning, and more intelligent than an average person but not so much more that the reader begins to feel that this character is too perfect. To offset above-average qualities, the protagonist should have flaws—but not to the point that the character becomes unlikable. Good choices are too much confidence or too much trust.
Antagonist
As with the protagonist, make the antagonist interesting. One of the best agents to move a strong protagonist toward growth and change is a powerful antagonist. This character is also known as the villain of the story or the lead’s opposition. An antagonist must also have clearly defined inward and outward goals, and these goals must be in opposition to the goals of the protagonist. The antagonist is driven to do anything to stop the fulfillment of the protagonist’s desires. This opposition creates an engine that drives forward a story. The antagonist might be the agent of evil in the story but should not be all evil. If the reader has some sympathy for the antagonist, the story will be more authentic. In the end, the antagonist should get what’s coming to him, or the reader will be left dissatisfied.
An Inciting Action
The beginning of your story, or exposition, should include an event that sets the characters in motion. Here is where you introduce your main characters, including your hero and villain, and the main problem your hero faces.
You need to grab the readers’ attention from the beginning and give them a reason to care about the characters and the story going forward.
Conflict
Conflict by definition is some sort of turmoil—a challenge to overcome, a quest, mystery, or struggle. Conflict creates drama, and drama makes a reader want to read. Conflict is what drives your characters forward. It’s what puts them in entertaining positions that force them to grow right before the reader’s eyes. Without conflict the reader is left with a scene where everything is just fine, and nobody is in trouble: pretty boring.
Essentially there are two types of conflict that make a great story. First, there is internal conflict that happens inside the characters’ heads and hearts. The second type of conflict, external conflict, affects the characters as well but is outside of their own heads. Both types of conflict take place throughout three basic parts of any story’s main conflict structure: set up (beginning), rising action, and the climax (resolution).
The purpose of your writing is to entertain, so when it comes to conflict, every single page has to play into it. Indeed, every page must be involved with your story’s conflict to some degree. And every scene, every spoken word, and absolutely everything about your story must be fused with this ever-so-entertaining element called conflict.
Resolution
Finally, it all leads to the resolution, or climax—that pivotal point in your narrative that tells the audience who finally wins the conflict. Make sure the conflict is resolved by the end of the story in a way that makes sense and will be satisfying to the readers.
This is what you’ve carefully and dramatically built up to, and now you can finally make the big reveal. A wonderful story sticks with the reader long after the last page. Stories vary wildly from genre to genre, but good ones all share common elements. Ensure that your story includes these five critical elements for a winning story that will keep listener engaged and feel satisfied with your story from beginning to end.
