Higher Level Involvement
When you become involved at higher levels our relationship becomes much more dynamic. You begin to work cooperatively with others. You can save on marketing and other expenses. You can learn many strategies to enhance your life. Below we provide a few suggestions. These are only the beginning. As you explore other areas of the website you can learn about many other opportunities.
Goal Setting Refreshed
Set a goal. Test it against reality. Develop an Action Plan. Implement your plan. Change what does not work. When you genuinely support others you earn the right for them to support you. Then everyone is better off. Do in fact reach out to others. Take on Chimorel responsibilities. Your risk is when you don’t do anything.
Business Development
As a Business Member you have many options. You can use your membership in our Cooperative Advertising program. You can receive extensive coaching. You can provide memberships to your employees. You can use the following program: For $150/mo you have three choices:
- We will provide you with a documented answer to one business question and up to 200 targeted leads, organized by street each month.
- We will provide documented answers to two business questions each month.
- We will provide approximately 30 minutes intensive coaching each month.
You can make a different choice among these three options each month. When you initiate a fully paid Business Membership you open the door to a wide variety of business coaching at reduced fees.
You will want to learn about Starting or Strengthening a business and a Small Business / Nonprofit membership. We can open doors to a wide variety of services for a monthly fee. You can get involved with our Cooperative Advertising program, when it is implemented in your area.
Business Questions
Your questions might be “How Do I Incorporate?” or other legal issues. They might involve issues in the areas of marketing, human resources, developing a business plan, accounting, computer technology, travel, project management, cost controls and much more. Depending on the nature of your question, we will direct you to an area of our website, provide you with an eBook/contact which can answer your question or research an answer to your question.
Cooperative Marketing & Advertising
As a Chimorel sponsor you can create marketing opportunities on our website, at Chimorel events and through a variety of other marketing efforts. Sponsorship opportunities will be available for Cooperative Effort and Change Your Life meetings. There will be many Naming Rights opportunities at the Chimorel Sanctuary.
As our Cooperative Advertising program develops, you will have many additional opportunities. In the past we sponsored a booth at WRFD’s Pastor Appreciation Breakfast and created radio and TV opportunities. We anticipate hiring Cooperative Advertising Coordinators who will expand our Cooperative Advertising program.
As the Cooperative Advertising program develops we will work with you to create a dynamic advertising program which can expand the reach of any advertising you do now, share your advertising dollars with others who are trying to reach the same target marker and tell your story to an expanded audience. You will reduce your overall cost and multiply your opportunities. Now a quick creative thought, when you identify several members with similar target markets, you can create your own Cooperative Advertising program. Someone buys the ads and the others piggyback on them, perhaps inserting various copy for each along the way.
| Cooperative Marketing can be expanded beyond advertising dollars. The first step is to identify similar target markets. Chimorel will be reaching out to investors who have a heart to make a difference in the world, individuals and organizations concerned about climate change and other significant global concerns, as well as, a range of similar audiences that combine business concerns with global issues. You may want to combine your marketing efforts with other companies targeting markets related to your audience.
Planning & Email Opportunities
Planning: Real planning starts when you develop an Action Plan to achieve your goal. You become serious when you implement your Action Plan. Your Action Plan could establish a marketing to grow your business or it could be a life plan to enhance your personal life.
Planning and implementation continues with your Cooperative Effort involvement, sometimes in group sessions, sometimes individually, as you make decisions. Your coaching fee can be reduced through your Business Membership or through a 735 Plan. You can develop systems to make your business /nonprofit group more effective. You can explore many ways to enhance your life. Our fees can be paid in cash, through affiliate relationships, through cooperative advertising, by becoming a Resource Developer and in other ways.
Email Opportunities: Periodically you will receive invitations to a wide variety of opportunities and events. Some opportunities will provide training in areas that can enhance your income. Some will be networking opportunities. You will be invited to explore areas of Chimorel’s website. Other members will extend opportunities to you. You can extend opportunities to other members. Most of these opportunities will be done through email invitations. When you receive a great opportunity, take advantage of it. If you have a great opportunity, we can assist you to share it.
Brainstorming and Other Alternatives
Meeting to Brainstorm just for you: We can plan a meeting designed to attract an audience you want to meet or brainstorm a problem you need to solve. Typically, we would plan your meeting during an intensive brainstorming session. We might begin to brainstorm for you at a regular meeting. If appropriate, we might continue by working together to attract people to a specially designed meeting just for you. There is a fee to plan and implement a meeting just for you.
Be a Speaker: An alternative is for you to be a speaker at a regularly scheduled meeting. You need to have something to say that is of real value to our members, not just a sales pitch regarding your company. You need to be able to put on a dynamic presentation. If you meet these criteria, we can take steps to invite people who should hear you speak at a regularly scheduled meeting or through an on-line seminar.
Similar Customer Groups: As we have already suggested, you may discover some members have prospective customers similar to your prospective customers. It is to your advantage to develop affiliate relationships with these members. At your Goal Setting Interviews we can explore this strategy in greater depth. You may want to form a group that is exclusive to your target market, so competitors are not included, or you may want to work with a competitor to generate a larger pool of prospects than either of you could generate alone. You may even find that partnering with a competitor actually reduces competition while enhancing the services you provide.
Lead Generation
Lead generation starts with determining who you want to talk to. We call this developing your list. Others call this identifying a target market. In the past we had over 50,000 central Ohio prospects in our database. This database is out of date and we have discovered an alternative to create specifically targeted markets. We will work with you to create targeted markets for your business.
Initially, you may want to collect business cards. We can enter a few cards into a database, turn this into an Excel spreadsheet, email the spreadsheet to you and return your cards at the next meeting. After the first or second run there will be a fee for this service. You can pay the fee in cash or earn it. One way to earn it is to provide your database as an Excel spreadsheet and to work together to send emails inviting people to Chimorel meetings.
When you become a Business Member, you may want us to create some prospect lists for you. We will work with you to develop a system to contact and screen prospective customers based on your needs. The fee for this service can be paid with service or in cash.
Benefits
Many entrepreneurs, nonprofit groups and others in business do not have adequate benefits. Once you are generating revenue through affiliate relationships, by working for a member of The Chimorel Group, through donations to Chimorel Services or if you pay directly for a benefit, you might want to direct some or all of the funds available to cover benefits you need or want.
This is a developing program. As sufficient interest is expressed and when certain expectations are met, you will be able to choose among benefits like: short-term disability, cancer, accident, dental, child/dependent care, a medical savings account, prepaid legal, identity theft, tuition/scholarships and other benefits as needs are determined.
Initial expectations include twenty-five members who make a 1-2 year commitment, working approximately 20+hrs/mo with a member of the Chimorel Group and full funding of the benefit(s) desired for at least six months.
Contact Systems
Action Steps: In your Goal Setting Interviews you should clearly identify who your best prospects are and begin to develop a system to meet and close these prospects. You can exchange contacts with other members. You can schedule meetings targeted toward your best prospects. Members can support your sales calls. We can develop ways to target “qualified leads” and take steps to generate “strong leads” specifically for you. Once you are truly active, members might go ahead of you or come behind you to support your sales calls, if you are willing to do the same for them.
Contact Systems: We can develop a system to track your contacts and sales information based on your needs. Our system involves an Access database, which can be customized to meet your needs. We can work with you to develop ways to screen prospects via telemarketing, door to door canvassing and working with other members.
Affiliation and Other Alternatives
Affiliation: By telling others about Chimorel’s Cooperative Effort Program, each participant will have opportunities to meet more people. By becoming an Affiliate with or Resource Developer for Chimorel, we will pay you to tell people about our programs, some of which could pay you up to $500/sale. You can offer incentives to other members to support your client generation efforts. Other members can offer incentives when you support them. Affiliates can advertise on our website.
Telemarketing: one of the most time consuming, least productive prospecting tasks is calling “suspects” to see if they might be good prospects. By coordinating these efforts with say ten others, we can hire a telemarketer whose job is to develop at least five new “strong leads” each week per participant for a total of say 50 new leads/wk. There are several ways to expand this effort through joint sales calls and other cooperative efforts. If interested, let us know. The minimum initial investment for this program is $500 cash plus an ongoing monthly commitment based on your needs and the involvement of others.
Canvassing: Another prospecting task that many people dislike is door to door or business to business canvassing. If you already do canvassing, we can assist your organizing efforts by providing lists organized by street address. Other members may pay you to gather information for them as you do what you already do. We periodically conduct Cash For drives to support a particular Special Project or cause. This is essentially a door to door campaign. In the future we may organize business to business Sponsorship drives. In both activities it is possible to develop information which can support the people or businesses we contact. When they want us to open the door to meet their needs they will discover our members and their abilities.
A Resource Developer is an independent contractor working with Chimorel. You start as a volunteer. Once you have made certain commitments you become a Trainee, eligible to earn 50% of a Resource Developer’s compensation. When you complete your training, you become a fully paid Resource Developer. At the top of many screens is a Learn tab. Under this tab is a Resource Developer section.
A part-time, dedicated Resource Developer could earn $15,000/yr or more. A full-time Resource Developer could earn $35,000 to $50,000+/yr. A manager/planner of/for other Resource Developers might earn $25,000 to $100,000+/yr. A Resource Developer at any level might earn nothing, if they are disorganized and unfocused.
The Cooperative Effort Program is only one of many Chimorel programs. When you enter a Chimorel program you automatically initiate a membership opportunity. Click the link above to learn about other Chimorel programs.
Your Goal: Let’s summarize the Higher Level of involvement section by returning to your goal. We would like for you to double your current gross revenue, increase your net revenue by 25%, or solve a specific problem you are concerned about.
You might choose to enhance the benefits available to you. Your initial Goal Setting Interview is designed to set and reality test your goal. As an Action Planner we will support you to develop action steps to achieve your goal. How quickly you achieve your goal depends on how active you are in earning the right for others to support you. You will receive the full value of your goal setting program only when you do the action steps you agree to. When you take these action steps, we will make every effort to enable you to achieve a 100+% return on your investment.
What is the Cost?
Free: You can come to meetings, create our on-line group, explore the website and exchange cards as long as you want. You will meet some good people and may open a few new opportunities. You will probably find that, like most other networking groups, exchanging cards and shaking hands does not really build your business or enhance your life. You must get actively involved to reap the rewards.
Become a Member: Set your goal with a Starter Membership. Use it to enroll in Scrip, which gives you an option to pay for Action Planning using the money you already pay to buy stuff. Invite and enroll other members. Enter a Business membership and get ten employees involved. Soon you will be a Lifetime member. As you progress to achieving your goals you will move to higher levels and you will enhance your life. Along the way you will support others and they will support you.
Your cost will involve a little money, some time, but most importantly your willingness to support others. As you know, once you support someone else, you earn the right to ask them to support you.
