• Australia has its own Direct Selling Association. As a former prosecutor I found this interesting: Under the Code of Ethics, distributors are not allowed to contact clients on a Sunday or Public Holiday, before 9:00am or after 8:00pm on a weekday, nor before 9:00am or after 5:00pm on a Saturday.

• As an Aussie now living in the U.S., I wanted you to know that Network Marketing is a relatively new concept to many in my country... Education is going to be key.

• Q: I have about 23 contacts (online relationships) in Australia. Since I can't set up personal appointments, do you have any prospecting advice for me? I'm already using Future Choice, so I'll include it with the information I send. What else would you suggest?
  Becky S.
  A:  Follow the instructions in Your Prospecting Toolbox and Seven Prospecting Secrets, and then follow-up using the steps spelled out in Build It BIG, and you'll be just fine!

  According to the Australian Government Equal Opportunities and Human Rights Commission: "Despite a decade or more of economic growth and prosperity, many Australians say they are not living the lives they want. They feel pressured, stressed and constrained in the choices they can make, particularly at key points in their lives." Europe, Australia, and Canada are all much more aware of problems with workplace stress than the USA, where the attitude persists that business is purely about making money—and anyone who can't cope with that better get out. It's fine to be on your own when you are ahead of the pack; not so good to be behind everyone else....
• I married an Aussie three years ago and moved to SE Australia... We live about three hours NE of Melbourne in a community of about 90,000 people called Albury-Wodonga. Network Marketing is alive and well here and people LOVE attending "parties." Now that could be something more prominent in the rural areas, but the Aussies love any chance to get together. Morning and afternoon tea (coffee breaks) are taken very seriously. Even the kids at school have morning tea! Americans can be viewed as rather brash... Although, I haven't been snubbed as an American, people are suspicious until they get to know me. Aussies are very friendly on the outside, but deep down are very wary about Americans.

• I had a sponsoring interview on the telephone last night with a women in Melbourne. She told me that Australians are very much into doing classes. Thanks for all your wisdom and insight.

• Q: If we ask, ask, ask, and do find people we can contact, is it okay to send them to the events without us personally being there ourselves? Or is this just asking for trouble?
  Lisa A.
  A: If everyone who had contacts needed to personally fly to Australia, building a business long-distance wouldn't work. Now, it's your responsibility to educate your contacts (or prospects) on the "Get back with the person who invited you..." part of the prospecting process. And it's also your responsibility to follow-up with your contacts—before and after the event. In other words, create the relationship first, so your prospects know to get back with you, or that you’ll get back with them after the event.
• I loved what you said about working locally to go globally! I found my first person who has relationships with people in Australia. We are meeting for dinner. Here we go!

• One of my consultants has an Australian country music singer that has been using our products for years... She shared with me that Aussies appreciate an honest, sincere approach, and also mentioned they respond better to the words, party, get together, or reception, rather than class or presentation.
