Don't worry you will learn how to build your Business with my Cost Effective ways of getting leads for MLM guide. In this process do yourself a favor by telling "I can always quit tomorrow" Every Single Day. Why you should follow this guide? Because you owe Financial Freedom and Success you dreamed for. One last thing I want to tell you is that there is no rocket science in enticing or persuading people who are not interested in your business opportunity. Many of them are either simply looking for information or they don't have initial investment. Remember for Internet Marketing to work, Learn Copy writing skills. Enticing Leads through your copy comes with good copy writing skills.
According to software giant SAS, multi-channel marketing is critical. Reaching potential clients at every touch point can make or break a well crafted marketing campaign. Bizopps data leads may be the perfect supplement to a social media campaign hitting Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and all. If you want to be on their mind then it is best to include their email, phone AND mail box…right?
The cons of mlm are that most people getting into mlm don't understand mlm. They apply the incorrect philosophy and it becomes a recipe for disaster. I see dozens of people monthly that join a mlm, don't work and don't yield any results and as a result, leave with a bad taste. But with correct leadership that problem could be averted. That is precisely why I love my company. It has the best leadership (in my opinion) and they properly train their agents.
As one of the top 10 fastest growing MLM's, ranked on fortune 500, raved about by MLM review sites , all natural weight loss and wellness products, no GMO's, No gluten etc and 10's of thousands of glowing testimonials they are hard to overlook. The retention rate is excellent, the company has a 1% return rate on products which is unheard of as well as the best compensation plan available to any MLM rep. I think it's safe to say if you do another article like this you would do your readers a great service by checking Plexus out. I really did enjoy the article as I am a multi MLM participant.
Before you start trying to generate more leads, make sure you know who you're trying to reach and where you might be able to find them—physically or virtually. First, identify the need or want that your product or service can address. For instance, joining your direct sales business can help a person fulfill a need for more income. Perhaps the wellness products you sell can help people meet their desire to stay healthy.
With the advent of internet marketing has come a whole new science of selling online making the acquisition of those elusive network marketing leads just a little bit easier. Easy access to the internet for both the marketer and, much more importantly, their potential customers, has forced a whole new set of ideas to the forefront. Here are just a few of the options that are now available.
"MLMs very rarely emphasize the extreme likelihood of failure, or the extreme likelihood of financial loss, from participation in MLM. MLMs are also seldom forthcoming about the fact that any significant success of the few individuals at the top of the MLM participant pyramid is in fact dependent on the continued financial loss and failure of all other participants below them in the MLM pyramid." (Wikipedia)
You must believe in the benefits of the product or service you intend to sell if you want to have a successful MLM operation. This may require that you constantly purchase the product for your own use. Build your sales team with people who share your passion and enthusiasm. Hold regular sales meetings to monitor the productivity of salespeople to ensure that they meet the company's sales objectives. You may also have to participate in motivational seminars and travel frequently. So factor these into your schedule and budget. If you are not the best at public speaking, find a person within the organization who is a good motivator and public speaker to address the sales team. Create incentives such as performance bonuses and a higher payout for top sales people to keep your sale team motivated.

Let's face it, everyone in a home business wants high quality mlm leads. What they don't want is the high price normally associated with them. Merit MLM Leads has developed methods to get you the QUALITY business opportunity leads you need at the price you want. By utilizing cutting edge mlm lead generation technology, Merit MLM Leads gathers top quality more efficiently home based business opportunity leads and then passes the savings on to you.
If you insist on trying one of these MLM offers, the least you can do is look for proper business registration with BBB, toll free number, and proper address (no Post Office box). Also, you will need lots of family and friends to make it work. As a final step, check the MLM materials for one or more of these "red flags" that are associated with the worst of the offerings:
When you hit over a billy in annual sales, that's reason enough to be on the shortlist. On top of that, they've been in the MLM game for over two decades, and they're now the "largest online wellness shopping club" (basically just sounds like a fancy way of saying they sell a lot of miracle diet pills…for our rankings of the best women diet pills are here).
In an October 15, 2010 article, it was stated that documents of a MLM called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing reveal that 30 percent of its representatives make no money and that 54 percent of the remaining 70 percent only make $93 a month, before costs. Fortune was under investigation by the Attorneys General of Texas, Kentucky, North Dakota, and North Carolina with Missouri, South Carolina, Illinois, and Florida following up complaints against the company.[39] The FTC eventually stated that Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing was a pyramid scheme and that checks totaling more than $3.7 million were being mailed to the victims.[40]
Don't give up, and don't throw money into areas where you don't have to. There's no such thing as completely free marketing leads – you are always risking something, whether it is your brand, or your future earning potential. However, with good networking, passion, and the right people, you can achieve success. Talk to some mentors and more experienced marketers today, and see what they have to say for you. You may be surprised at how much you can bring in, with the right choices when you are getting started.

The legal distinction between MLMs and traditional pyramid schemes has been characterized by many authorities as a legal fiction. Jurisdictions that retain a legal distinction between MLM pyramid businesses versus illegal pyramid schemes retain said distinction on two key distinguishing features: 1) that MLMs always encompass the sale of actual products/services, while traditional illegal pyramid schemes ordinarily do not (though sometimes they do), and 2) that climbing an MLM pyramid is overwhelmingly statistically improbable (especially to its highest participant levels) but not theoretically impossible, whereas climbing a traditional illegal pyramid scheme is both statistically and theoretically impossible.[citation needed]
Hiring an expert is the way to go if you want to do this fast and effectively. In the long run, new clients are worth more than what you have to pay to get help finding them. You'll make far more money on one turned lead than you will spend on getting someone to help you get that lead. If that's not the case for you, however, then things may need to change a little. You'll want to go do some looking at reviews for various lead generation companies to see what they can help you with and if they are worth your time to work with.
Many self-proclaimed entrepreneurs send me invitations and accolades to join their favorite Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or Network Marketing company, but these all sound like "get rich quick" schemes to me. For me, the essence of an entrepreneur is creating something new and innovative, whereas an MLM is a traditional formula on an existing product with a high premium on pyramiding.
I enjoyed this post and spent too many hours reading all your other posts and watching your videos. You have some excellent real life experiences to share and glad I found this blog. My wife and I are with It Works Global (She started it and I came on board later). I was curious why they didn't make your list? Do you think blogging would work with this type MLM? I have only had success using Instagram and Facebook. The MLM model is not something I like but it is what is I guess. My wife joined to get a discount on wraps and now this insane looking chart pays the bills. I want to take it further just keep searching for a good way to do so. Maybe blogging is the answer? Thank you. for your time. Mike

Offering a managed service approach will allow Corporate Central to respond to member needs for more efficient, secure, and profitable ATM programs, enabling credit unions to efficiently enhance one of their most important touchpoints with members. With ATM Managed Services, financial institutions can outsource specific components of their ATM program, or the entire management and operation of the program, streamlining their operations while mitigating risk. "Our members are challenged to keep their ATM fleets up to date and to provide cardholders with the most advanced functionality, while staying on top of all the regulatory upgrades and compliance requirements associated with ATMs," said Jesse Kohl, Senior Vice President Corporate Development at Corporate Central. "A managed services approach helps address these challenges, allowing credit unions to provide an optimal ATM user experience for their valued members."

Two more mountaineers killed on Nepal peaks
Hundreds of foreign climbers and their guides attempt to scale Nepal's high Himalayan peaks during the popular spring climbing season.
Two more mountaineers have died on Nepal's famous Himalayan peaks, while another two are missing, officials have said.
Indian climber Ravi Thakar, 28, died on Thursday while sleeping in his tent at Mount Everest's highest camp site, according to Thaneswar Guragai of the Seven Summit Treks, which organised the expedition.
Mr Thakar had scaled the 29,035ft summit but did not appear to be well on the way back and was discovered to have died a few hours after entering his tent.

Pay us oil money, or the rainforest gets it
ECUADOR's unprecedented offer to accept payment for not extracting oil from beneath the Amazon rainforest is beginning to draw interest. The move could usher in a new way to both combat climate change and prevent damage to ecologically diverse and sensitive regions.
More than two years ago, Ecuador said it would abandon plans for drilling in Yasuni National Park, one of the few pristine regions of Amazon rainforest remaining, if it was paid half of the $7 billion that it expected to earn from tapping the oilfield. "This was a major turning point in the 'drill, drill, drill' mentality," …

Rustic Ski Rack, Napa Valley Wine Barrel Staves, Reclaimed Wood
Designed with the active winter family in mind, our ski rack will look just fine in a mud room as well as on an entryway wall, in a closet or in the garage. All oak construction using a large wine stave from one of our barrels. Black hooks and oak stained pegs are added and a reclaimed wood shelf inserted. Then an all-over stain/sealer is applied. Four sets of pegs allow for hanging of four pairs of skis. The built-in top shelf holds all the extras; gloves, sunglasses, lanyards etc. Five hooks at either end and in between pegs hold helmets, hats or coats.
Dimensions are 36-38 inches long and 5 inches wide in the back piece that is against the wall. It stands out from the wall approximately 9 inches.
Solid all-wood construction.
Great Lakes Reclaimed takes great care to maintain the integrity of the each piece and keep the distressed, rustic chic, primitive barn wood look as much as possible. But you must understand that each piece takes on a mind of its own. We will do our best to match the photos but when working with reclaimed lumber you will always get different colors and textures. We use reclaimed barn wood, fencing and pallet lumber to custom build each unit.

Reinhardt and I were married on 15 March 2015 at the beautiful Morell's Boutique in Northcliff.
We opted for a small intimate wedding and by small I mean 20 of our closest friends and family.
We both decided we would rather have a Sunday morning ceremony followed by a luncheon where we could all spend quality time together and celebrate the occasion. We knew the day would be one filled with emotion, both Reinhardt and I have fathers that have passed on but our amazing family and friends made the day special for us by being there, they cried with us when we were heart sore and laughed with us when we were happy, all the reminiscing made those we wished were there in person be remembered in spirit.
Most girls dream of their wedding day but I didn't. I just knew I wanted to find real love and when Reinhardt and I met and started dating, my soul smiled, he was the one, my one, my "big bunny".
We decided that the understated elegant look is what we wanted on the day our wedding, we chose the colour scheme of creams, ivory, gold and a dash of pink to complement our already romantic venue. We wanted to make everyone fall in love- with themselves, with love, with each other.
I was apprehensive and kept saying I could see myself falling down the aisle, my mother then told me that my wedding was a day of celebration. It wasn't a performance and things didn't have to go perfectly, everyone was there to celebrate love and the union of two people. My mom was right. She always is. I didn't fall down *happy dance*.
Our marriage ceremony was personal, heart warming and the words spoken on that day will never be forgotten. Our marriage officer gave a beautiful service that spoke to each one's heart.
The luncheon reception was filled with French music and the clinking of crockery and cutlery as we sat down to a perfectly set table with blooming flowers followed by a pianist who helped create an unforgettable ambiance.The speeches were humorous, touching and honest- we were all left emotional when my handsome groom found himself holding back tears as he spoke.
Our suppliers were amazing! I met the most beautiful souls whilst making arrangements for our wedding day and this experience was filled not only with laughter and heartfelt talks but led to the forging of friendships.
Morrell's Boutique embodies all that is French, romance, elegance and luxury. We wanted our guests to feel the day was about us all, without them we would not be who we are today, and ensured we chose a venue that would do just that. The staff were all so friendly and professional. Our wedding coordinator, Chantellé was helpful and understanding, she helped quell all wedding jitters and made sure our day ran smoothly in all respects. The food was delicious, the macaroons, the best we've ever had and the venue could not have been more sublime with its picturesque scenery and decorations.
Our photographers, Splendid Productions are simply wonderful! Heleen and Gottfried are quirky and fun, they capture each moment in such a way that you relive the day just by looking at a photograph. They make you feel comfortable and their attention to detail is unbelievable.
"Made up by Janna", Janna Stone is a phenomenal lady! She is a true artist who made me feel and look my best, her work is simply perfection. I loved my hair and make-up.
Secret Diary designed all of our wedding stationery, such a wonderful team who made each piece of our stationery with love and creativity.
Reinhardt was actively involved in the choosing of the wedding cake- he wanted to make sure it was tasty and the Cake Diva, Riana de Bruin worked her magic, our cake was beautifully made and tasted even better.
My mother made my stunning veil. Her time, effort and love could be seen in her work and I shall pass it on to my daughter, should I be blessed enough to have one some day.
I not only have the memories of my wedding day but I have a lifelong best friend in my husband who I can share them with.
As much as I wanted a beautiful wedding when I got engaged, I knew I wanted more than that. I wanted a marriage more beautiful than my wedding.
I am the luckiest lady because I've never been happier. My husband gave me a wedding that far exceeded any dream and a marriage that makes me appreciate and be grateful for all that I have for it is a blessing.
Special thanks to each and everyone of my guests and my awesome suppliers
Our alluring invitations and social stationery is for those who truly desire to set themselves apart by making the perfect stylish statement!

While our corporate Learning and Development Teams are actively working hard to infuse purpose, engagement and meaning into our daily work lives they are fighting an incredibly hard battle. The modern work world is a "broken and antiquated system," according to Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of Unfinished Business: Men Women Work Family. "For many Americans, life has become all competition all the time," Slaughter wrote in a September New York Times opinion piece, "A Toxic Work World." "Workers across the socioeconomic spectrum … have stories about toiling 12- to 16-hour days (often without overtime pay) and experiencing anxiety attacks and exhaustion. Hours spent at work that fill us with anxiety rather than fulfillment chip away at confidence, optimism gratitude and courage. When these elements drain away our attention and productivity and competence follow.
In addition to the always-on pace, office politics creates additional friction. A study of 400 U.S. workers from staffing firm Robert Half International says that nearly 60 percent of workers believe that involvement in office politics is somewhat necessary to get ahead. "There is at least 'some degree of politics at play' in every organization", Robert Half International's Chairman and CEO Max Messmer reports.
Without clarity around a collective purpose, every meeting, project, discussion along the way feels reckless and pointless. And as our engagement at work degenerates, our overall motivation begins to dip. Humans are hardwired for connection, however when there is a lack of trust, our focus degenerates toward fear, and we defend our turf and become polarized around things that could otherwise be easily resolved. Stress is cumulative and spills over into our personal lives. When we bring stress home it essentially multiplies with negatively charged conversations that unintentionally impact our most important relationships.
While the statistics for corporate dysfunction are staggering, I would like to suggest that an Interpersonal Revolution is at hand and we can change how we think, act and treat each other at work and at home with simple steps. If we do in fact make an effort to change a few small things, we're more likely to see better innovation, increased productivity, creativity, joy and purpose flow freely out of corporate America. So what's this simple recipe?
The answer has recently been uncovered by a group of neuroscientists. Our amygdala has some amazing functions including, emotion, survival, and memory. When this tiny part of our brain receives 'belonging' signals that make a person feel connected, safe, cared for and optimistic about their future, they play at a higher level. Let's call it flow. This level of flow and belonging occurs most often when the leaders of an organization have spent the time to create a highly personalized environment that involves human connection. The positive outcome of human connection is that each individual on the team has a greater willingness to stay and endure the challenge in front of them and ultimately give themselves fully to building a future. All of this occurs because our amygdala is satisfied that there's no reason to fight or run. Instead, we work together, powerfully
The point here is that Corporate America can't change until its leadership does. And this journey begins with getting clear about what gets us out of bed in the morning.
When we set out to become a leader the way isn't paved or certain. This often bumpy road is what develops and cultivates character and the resilience necessary to keep going and transform into the person who can handle the task, build a culture and inspire others to achieve the goal. High Performance coach, Brendon Burchard, who has spent over a decade observing High Performers and their habits will attest to that while excellent leaders do many things right, falling down in the midst of success happens when they lose sight of their purpose. This could be because of distraction in the market, a competitor or some other existential crisis that has them and their leadership team pinned down. When the C-Suite loses their purpose, their company culture falters and sometimes fails. Alternately, the essential habit of seeking clarity is the thing that keeps leaders engaged, growing and fulfilled over the long haul. The fundamental questions that get executives to clarity include: Who am I? (What do I value, what are my strengths and weaknesses) What are my goals? What are my dreams? These are essential questions for clarifying their vision and determining if there is congruence between their personal vision and the one they've bought and sold for their organization. Unfortunately the majority of leaders haven't articulated any of these questions in writing. Clarity begins with written language that defines our values and answers the questions in living color much like architectural plans instruct the specifics of a beautiful home or building. Often times, getting clarity on what we really want brings unexpected joy because getting clear reveals the answers that have been hidden and are now liberated with language. Common sense right? Try it and see. Joy is just around the corner.
So what's the secret to building a team? How do we know which team members are necessary to ensure a winning combination? Trust and social safety are the top of the list. Surprising I know. Isn't it intelligence, functional knowledge and creativity? Apparently not. Gregg Popovich, coach to the San Antonio Spurs has a habit of creating winning streaks by building relationships and modeling a family unit on his team. 'Pop' does this by making sure the team belongs to each other, that they believe they are special because of the high standards he has set for them and that everyone on the team can meet those standards. All of these messages send a clear signal to the brain "This is a safe place to give your full effort." Daniel Coyle, in his book "The Culture Code" outlines this recipe in 3 steps. Popovich's communication consists of belonging cues:
Every sales executive will say that meetings are almost always more productive in person. Why is that true? It turns out that human productivity is directly linked to proximity and the frequency of meaningful communication that sends the message, "you are safe here." During the Cold War, Thomas Allen was asked to determine what made the most productive teams successful when solving very difficult engineering feats for the government. During the study Allen found that the most accurate indicator of a team's success had everything to do with the proximity of the their desks and the frequency of communication. That's it. Productivity and creativity grow when the team feels like they belong to each other and connect through communication. Another study also looked for which leaders manage to replicate this kind of culture. The pattern is, these leaders create a culture where they personally express gratitude to others regularly and are also of service to others first. This practice and intention spreads throughout a group quickly and permeates how they work together, think about and trust each other. In the book "Legacy" the New Zealand All Blacks have become world renown for building team through social ritual, discipline and among many other things a humble posture of service by 'sweeping the sheds'. The ritual is that even after winning a championship game the team will return to the locker room and clean up trash, sweep the floors and put everything in its place before celebrating. This practice grounds the players, builds a heart of service, and reminds them that glory begins with the simple stuff: humility, discipline, family, trust and social safety. The basics win again.
Why do certain groups add up to the greater sum of their parts, while others add up to be less? Several years ago, Peter Skillman held a competition to find out why. The exercise included a number of teams some MBAs and some kindergartners. The task was to construct the highest physical structure with the following:
The MBAs strategized and talked thoughtfully, and the kindergartners' dove right in. Guess who won the teaming contest? The 5-year-olds. Why? The MBAs spent their time figuring out where they fit, who's in charge, and if it was ok to challenge the rules. The kindergartners were standing shoulder to shoulder trying a bunch of stuff together. The difference was not in brain power, but in the interaction and how they function as an entity. When we experiment, take risks, offer help and are completely unconcerned with our status, we get better outcomes.
While we can't reverse the clock and become kindergartners again, are there ways that we can create an environment that encourages innovation and better teamwork?
The answer has recently been uncovered by a group of neuroscientists. Our amygdala has some amazing functions including, emotion, survival, and memory. When this tiny part of our brain receives 'belonging' signals to answer the questions: Are we connected? Do we share a future? Are we safe? The person feels connected, safe, cared for and optimistic about their future. When experiencing a highly personalized process involving human connection, our willingness to stay and endure the challenge in front of us, ultimately giving our whole selves to building a future, this is because our amygdala is satisfied that there's no reason to fight or run. Instead, we work together, powerfully.
The third installment in our monthly series on Mindset and Digital Transformation, Janina Lieser, Chief Collaboration Officer at Pivotus Ventures, shares strategy on staying competitive with the rise of FinTech & user-centered banking.
If FinTech will drive the economy by 2020, how must traditional leadership change?
The economic shift in the world is centered around going digital and Financial Services is in a unique position to lead and profit for several reasons. First, the necessity of innovation is clear and palpable because retail banking has a finite timeline in a virtual race against time. To beat the clock, they are expected to embrace a pioneering and often disruptive posture toward innovation. 'Changing the bank' begins with a mindset that includes adopting a high-performance attitude. This includes a culture that thrives under a meritocracy, highlights creativity, demands courage and expects that influence and collaboration are the absolute standard. Brendon Burchard, in his most recent book 'High Performance Habits', has distilled over a decade of data to illustrate how and why High Performers have what it takes to innovate. His top 6 indicators are the gold standard for the 21st Century High Performance Executive. With Clarity, Energy, Necessity, Productivity, Influence and Courage - innovation is not only possible, it's probable. All of these take center stage as retail banking risks and wins their customers' hearts back. Second, to win hearts and minds, 'changing the bank' requires shifting time, attention, focus and budget toward building a customer engagement platform that gathers data, increases relevancy, and pivots the bank into a posture of continual enhancement. It's the creation of a robust platform that gives a bank the latitude to interact with their customer on a daily basis, serve additional value-add offerings, adapt according to their data, and demonstrate that they are also a part of contributing something stellar to the disruption process. Agile development is fitting here, as I am sure we can all agree that as humans we learn best in an incremental manner. Agility in learning, adjusting our attitudes, adopting a new language or pivoting a culture, all require that we're steadily and almost scientifically studying the wisdom and data at hand. When it's simplified we get the best results when we think clearly, lean in together and trust.

In the crowded technology market, senior executives are saddled with the task of leading disruptive innovation. Despite the extensive studies conducted to methodize innovation's best practices and a growing number of innovation centers within the Silicon Valley, there is no one repeatable process that guarantees disruptive innovation. Large strategic companies have poured billions of dollars into private innovation centers and admit that they've fallen short of lofty expectations. So maybe innovation doesn't spring from university pedigrees, professional training and cerebral thinking. Rather, perhaps it is more about how a team interacts and functions? The posture that seems to be winning the innovation game doesn't come packaged in corporate cultural behaviors we all know so well. Studies point to the need for a greater deal of emphasis on being human, vulnerable and humble. To make the leap from vulnerability to innovation, let's break it down into 3 steps.
1) Vulnerability + Risk = Trust
Human capital is messy and it distracts from bottom line objectives when there is an absence of trust. As a result, corporate fiefdoms pop up and disagreements around strategy create divisions in thinking. Conversely, open vulnerability about not having all the answers among team members ensures a culture of trust. While vulnerability requires risk and enduring the unknown of how others might react, trust is the reward for stepping out onto a limb.
2) Trust + Inspiration = Innovation
When humans truly trust each other, there are no dumb ideas. More often, in this scenario we come up with better ideas when we are operating together collectively and collaboratively. Many of the world's greatest inventions were initially thought to be useless and quickly dismissed by some incredibly smart critics. Our team members however, push us to reconsider something that might seem like a bad idea at a first blush. John Von Neumann, for example, who was a mathematician, physicist, inventor, computer scientist, and polymath, was certain in 1949 that "We have reached the limits of what is possible with computers." Being wrong isn't an indictment on your intellect or ability to function in your role. Instead, it can become a posture of being ready to admit you need to lean on others and are more willing to take a leap when you're flanked by smart colleagues. Not knowing all the answers sets a team up to truly depend on each other. In the book 'Tribal Leadership' by Dave Logan and Halee Fischer, they describe the most highly integrated and innovative teams as being characterized by a "sense of innocent wonderment" and because of it, are able to consistently create disruptive technologies. What is most interesting is "[This level] of Tribal Company produces things that shake their industry…they say, "Let's do it because it's possible and we think it will change the world." Innovation starts with how we see and treat each other, and with that foundation, we begin to see the world and its possibilities differently.
3) Operationalizing Trust Based Innovation
Vulnerability must start with the CEO and C-Suite executives and then progress further down into the organization. Brene Brown, author of 'Daring Greatly' observes, " My corporate talks almost always focus on inspired leadership or creativity and innovation…. [and] ultimately if we want to reignite innovation and passion, we have to re-humanize work." If this is the goal, we must start with the opportunities we have for incremental change. And as we add new leaders to a team who will own the mission and vision and embrace vulnerability, the outcome is greater internal cohesion, innovation and creativity. These executives will ultimately attract teams who are willing to risk and operate in the same way. This kind of positive traction becomes the catalyst for a magnetic culture. With leadership fully behind the idea, the stakes are a higher, direct reports are infused with a greater sense of passion for their roles, and have the freedom to ask questions, fail, try again and then successfully innovate.

Corporate America and Start up America want to stay on top, ahead of the curve and disrupting their respective industries. There are many philosophical discussions happening in parallel; but the practical application? That's missing in many environments. So how do we shoehorn innovation into our 14-hour days and operationalize this practically?
15 minute stand up meetings regularly go over. We multi-task during webinars, and physically attend conferences but leave early because email needs us right away. Our schedules are crammed full but there is little time to invent those things that lead to better profit margins. And innovation sounds impossible when we're steeped in bad habits. Let's put our inner cynic aside to explore the simple methods that get us to better results. After all, we've seen the ROI on innovation and agree that it's worth pursuing.
The two components to operationalize innovation include: 1) The right human capital to dream big and execute ('the will') and 2) the day-to-day disciplines that execute the plan that leads to our goal ('the way'). To get from an idea to reality, let's look at this 2 step process.
1) Innovative Leadership = Authenticity
It starts with the right team. And to accomplish the practical we must assess if your leadership is ready to take on the challenge of leading an innovative crew of disrupters because it's a messy process at best. In Jim Collins book, 'Good to Great' he states "to build a successful organization and team you must get the right people on the bus and in the right seats.'
Culturally, it's been proven that the most innovative environments begin with a posture that failure is expected when trying for the audacious. The more tolerant a company is of failure the more lucrative long-term profitability is. Google X's Head of Innovation, Astro Teller, has the title, 'Captain of Moonshots' because of the innovative attempts he is responsible for shouldering. Jon Gertner, Editor for Fast Company reported that during his 2015 interview with the Google X leader, "At first, it seems Teller's point is that the tolerance for setbacks at Google X is uncharacteristically high—a situation helped along by his bosses' zeal for the work being done there and by [Google's] extraordinary, almost ungodly, profitability. But this is actually just part of the story. There happens to be a slack line—a low tightrope—slung between trees outside the Google X offices. After the meeting, the three men walked outside, took off their shoes, and gave the line a go for 20 minutes. [Patrick] Pichette is quite good at walking back and forth; [Sergey] Brin slightly less so; Teller not at all. But they all took turns balancing on the rope, falling frequently, and getting back on. The slack line is groin-high. 'It looked like a fail video from YouTube,' Teller says. And that's really his message here. 'When these guys are willing to fall, groan, and get up—and they're in their socks?' He leans back and pauses, as if to say: This is the essence of Google X. When the leadership can fail in full view, 'that gives everyone permission to be more like that.'
Cultivating a leadership team that is relentless in their pursuit of innovation starts with executives who are willing to admit their failures on their journey to success. When teams are patted on the back for coming to the conclusion quickly that they've made a mistake and then pursue a process to gather insights from it, they are more likely to rinse and repeat and find success in their iterative tries. Brene Brown, author of 'Daring Greatly' intimated during one of her Ted Talks that TED is actually a 'failure forum'. Everyone who is there has experienced great failure before becoming a success. Brown submits, "There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period."
The How:
Tech companies have long been known for their foosball and Ping-Pong tables. Others might lean in the direction of a softball team. This can be a great leveler of title stratifications within an organization. It's most effective if your senior executives participate and are not particularly stellar at the game of choice. This is not to say – fake it, but rather pick something where everyone is forced to learn from others. This will also benefit your brain because you're learning something completely new and how well you played soccer last night will not hurt your performance at work, unless of course, you've torn your ACL. Executives who submit themselves to some harmless ribbing will give everyone a reason to smile, cause morale to rise, and inspire a culture of belonging. It is this that employees need in order to bring their very best to work and play. The making of a tribe is not just putting numbers on a sales board. It's risking together and having fun at it. Let's remember the long-term intent is innovation and positive results may come in various packages. Consider that you're giving your team goalie who is experiencing logistics nightmares in shipping a regular opportunity to casually submit the problem and her idea to solve it. Recruit the receptionist who has sworn off all sports to bring water and organize a cheering section and you'll have a more connected person handling your corporate first impression.
No time for this? Think of the alternative. Not so pretty.
2) Compass and Map = Daily Disciplines
Once a board of directors and CEO commit to cultivating an innovation friendly environment, you'll quickly identify which of your executive cabinet is on board. To speed up the process significantly, there is a set of diagnostic tests designed to identify who will take risks and lean into the discomfort of skippering something that pushes the innovation envelope.
So let's say the voyage toward innovation is made up of three parts. A) Benchmarking and historical analytics are used to measure the 'now' (we are here). B) The path to our 'destination' (where we want to go) is charted by our goal or vision. C) The journey itself is achieved through simple compass and map skills. That is, by pointing ourselves in the desired direction we'll get there if we continually review the analytics and measure our coordinates against our ultimate goal. Veteran sailors will tell you that high winds and unexpected obstacles are always an issue during a voyage. It's the continuous measurement that keeps us on track despite maritime or business set-backs.
Analytics for Grown Ups.
In IDC's recent study called, "What can we learn from Big Data Innovators" they feature a proprietary "Big Data Maturity Model" that benchmarks organizations' competence across five dimensions: people, process, technology, data, and intent. Based on this model, IDC looked at the most mature organizations and identified what benefits they achieved from analytics. [IDC calls] these organizations the "Big Data Innovators" and looked at what they do differently from other respondents. These differences become useful lessons around increasing Big Data analytics maturity and driving success. Using this criteria, IDC found that organizations can transform and innovate iteratively when they drive their analytics disciplines through the maturity model steps: 1) Ad Hoc 2) Opportunistic 3) Repeatable 4) Managed and 5) Optimized. The authors write, "Big Data has a "snowball" effect: as organizations use it successfully, whether to drive improvements and efficiencies, or to effectively analyze and predict new products and markets, success will drive further success." Identifying where a company is within the maturity model is important in terms of how they use of data. But is the executive team's commitment to essential analytics and disciplines that drives the assessment of the daily, quarterly and annual progress. This combination of rigor and discipline extends the scope of our view to two parts 1) hard numbers and 2) the softer side of things.
How to:
By Numbers: The first part is to leverage the Business Intelligence (BI) Analytics you've got at your fingertips. If you haven't invested there yet, take the time to review your options. Second, benchmark your executive team from a few specific angles. What strengths are present among your leaders and where is your Achilles heel? Assume that weaknesses and blind spots exist in the organization. You may find that your highly strategic team lacks the art of execution. Or, while your analytical executive team members are mitigating risk beautifully they may be also slowing things down with heavy methodologies. iTalent has a terrific solution for this in their Change Management suite of products and services. It's not only data driven but graphically capable of illustrating the core strengths that can make or break your innovative leadership team by measuring the preferred inclination of how individuals contribute to your company.
Softer Skills: Communicate the ultimate goal or vision via Storytelling. Can your team clearly articulate your vision and own where you're going? Keep your message simple, passionate and encapsulated in 3 sentences or less. Ben Zoldan, CEO of Storyleaders and author of 'What Great Salespeople Do" helps leaders clearly find and articulate their corporate 'why' so that the team, clients and outsiders are captivated. In his book, Ben underscores that the best leaders think and communicate from the inside out starting with the why. He agrees with Simon Sinek's Golden Circle where "Sinek points out that [approaching] a story starts with the limbic (emotional brain) and goes outward to the neocortex (the thinking brain)". This is critical to making our our corporate 'why' resonate with our audience deeply. Zoldan encourages his readers and conference attendees to determine and define "The inside or 'the why' as a belief. Before you build a story, [you must identify] what is the point?......The bottomline is that if you don't have a point, you don't have a story." So much of our day is filled with meaningless content. By offering a greater goal that's bigger than ourselves, teams find purpose and meaning in belonging to an intentionally passionate corporate culture.
All of this requires the right team, an intentional strategy, daily disciplines of analytics, and the character to take action when the team is off course. Success never happens overnight. Instead, incremental change that intentionally creates an environment that's living on the edge is magnetic. This attracts people who are passionate about measurable outcomes and who yearn to dare at the disruptive. It is also this tribe that craves a safe place to try things on, fail -
try again and fly.

1) Vulnerability is the Starting Line
Innovation begins with a decision of 'I'm going to do this, and I'm committed to the process no matter the outcome.' Our best work is usually accomplished when hanging it all out. It's also where we feel most alive, and afraid. Brene Brown, author of 'Daring Greatly' in a recent interview stated, "There is no creativity without vulnerability. It's having the guts to show up and be seen when there is no guarantee on the outcome." Vulnerability is necessary for creativity because our most creative selves are at the core of who we are. Creative innovation starts with a humble posture of admitting you've got half the answer or maybe the wrong answer entirely. It might be hitting send on the slide deck that outlines an idea we think could be great but may also be met with a great deal of criticism.
2) Do the Work Inspite of Fear
Execution must drive us in spite of fear. It's continuous courageous action that builds resilience and focus in us. And while it's possible that our best efforts may fail and we might be criticized or marginalized, innovation requires that we continue forward with some serious work to refine our idea. Tim Ridout, Huffington Post contributor writes, "Creativity involves trying new things that may seem eccentric, challenge our assumptions, or push the limits of our inherited norms. Creative endeavors require an uninhibited flow of thought and imagination, followed by meticulous processing and refinement. Eventually, these ideas take final form in something new and valuable. But before they do, the creator must sift through countless amorphous concepts and faulty notions." Our work can define us because we spend so much time at it. We fear that it might not turn out right; we also fear that if it does turn out really well, we might not be ready to handle the expectations that could be forced upon us. Having a mental construct for managing that fear gives us perspective, safety and confidence in the innovation process. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear" discusses the idea that creativity is not a solo event. "The Greeks and Romans both believed in the idea of an external [fairy] of creativity – a sort of house elf, who lived within the walls of your home [and would] aid you in your labors. The Romans called this a genius. Which is to say the Romans didn't believe that an exceptionally gifted person was a genius; they believed that an exceptionally gifted person had a genius." The key here is that the creative process is not done in a closet by ourselves, we must have help. In the corporate environment, creativity should be a team experience, where the refinement process is shared and so is the defeat or glory. This way we can pick each other up and agree it's time to pivot, re-iterate and re-buff the critics. There is less time for self-loathing when we have someone else to sit with us and empathize that missing the mark was painful. It's also the best place to remind each other that the journey was pretty cool and that innovation is worth pursuing and risking for once again.
3) Creativity by numbers
Getting from creativity to profitability is the key and to get there let's look at some best practices to be followed. Google operates in a posture of expected excellence. Their requirement is to: '[Describe] an idea in less than six words [to] clarify it.' Veronique Lafargue, Global Head of Content Strategy, with Google states their process "is [one] that can be taught, learned, and shared. We've distilled our own approach into a set of three basic principles…a linear process for brainstorming new ideas and turning them into actual products." These steps are: A) Know your user. To solve a big question you first have to focus on who you're solving it for. Googlers regularly go out and talk to people in the field to make sure they get it right. B) Think 10x. When excellence is expected, the goal is to improve something by 10 times rather than by 10%. Thinking big has paid off well for these innovators, so let's agree it doesn't pay to think small or allow fear to get in our way. C) Prototype. When it comes to details, Googlers find that it's easy to fake it, so when possible, they like to create something they can hold in their hands. Getting the prototype to a commercially viable market is the key and achieves the revenues to validate the idea. Measuring our results and pivoting along the way is how we get to overall success. So, who currently is pivoting toward iteratively better ROI and how are they doing it?
4) The Bridge from Creativity to ROI
PWC's Strategy Practice would agree that innovative ROI should get iteratively better and is best done through analytics and modeling. Their metric called ROI2, is a method that helps corporations balance innovation project portfolios into an overarching strategy. They not only assign values to a particular project based on the overall strategy, but on incremental revenue, risk profile and ROI2. This measures each project's potential against existing innovative outcomes and helps build a portfolio strategy in response.
C-level executives agree that we must measure what matters. This is what keeps us aware, profitable and gaining ground. But to do this well we've got to bring courageous innovation to senior management. Leaders must go first and admit that they've made mistakes and continue to slip occasionally on the their journey to success. This posture gives teams permission to choose the E-Ticket ride of creative innovation and dare to embrace the possibilities. It's also reassuring for management to know that while courage is required, there's no cliff jumping included. There are guardrails, best practices, data analytics and models to follow - so fear doesn't have to rule our work and lives.
