MLM Training- The Single Most Powerful Tool for Your Success

September 9, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh 5 Comments

mlm network marketing

MLM Success Tips.

Do you know what the MOST powerful tool you have for your mlm business?

What would that be for your home business?

Would knowing that secret HELP YOU in your network marketing business?

I wrote an article several years ago and I wanted to share with you today. It is SO TRUE and I know it will help you in your home based business.

Here is is….

A home business is built many ways and with many tools.

One of the 2 tools that a network marketing business is built with is YES and NO.

Many MLM distributors do not realize that their home based business is being built by someone else.

WHAT???

You READ THAT RIGHT.

Many a home business is being built by someone else the distributor knows through powerful Influence,and they are using the NO tool to do it.

Many a work at home distributor in a home based business has left the profession because someone else was building their business-with negative words and actions that influence the
distributor over time to give up and simply walk away.

I almost walked away my first 4 years -5 times- due to negative comments and people’s influence over my life.

Thank God I was able to GROW BIGGER than their negatives.

Isn’t it TIME that you moved you and your work at home business into the YES ZONE?

Isn’t it time that you simply took CONTROL of your MLM destiny and quit letting someone else “build” -or in this case destroy- your business.

I do a lot of private one on one consultation and I am amazed at how many people let others dictate and build their business with their negative and poisonous “notgoing to happen” focus. And eventually the distributor gives in to the verbal and emotional assault of others -and quits.

And they could have gone on to build a dream business that would have given them an amazing life. But yet they built their business on the foundation of someone else’s NO.

Here is a quote I wrote:

“It is those that say a resounding YES to Home Business Success as well as Life that live a Larger then normal life, have a Larger than normal business, and have a more Powerful than normal income. Say YES- and QUIT LISTENING to the NOs that are trying to STOP YOU. “

The word YES.

It is a DECISION.

It is a FOCUS.

It is an ACTON.

It is a BELIEF.

It is a MIND SET.

It is a RESULTS MAKER.

It is a LIFESTYLE.

It is a DECIDED DESTINY.

Yes is one of the most powerful words in all language and MLM. It simply says “I will move forward with that.”

But a DECIDED YES also includes a silent- “And I will NOT BE STOPPED.”

Many people build a home business as well as live a life of NO because they were taught that and grew up in that NO culture. But you can change that in a heartbeat.

Change your DECIDED DESTINY from NO to YES.

Yes I am succeeding with my Home Business.

Yes I am the top earner for my Company.

Yes I am the most powerful Leader on my Home Business Team.

Yes I am building a team of 50,000 people in my Home Business.

Yes I am living a lifestyle that most only dream of with my Home
Business.

YES I am doing it NOW and No Thing, No Lie, No Person, No Result, No Insult, No Lack of Understanding, No or No Crisis will STOP ME and my Home business..

I WILL NOT BE DENIED.

THAT is a mind set well abovethe norm in the crowd of mediocrity, and you will RISE above everyone and everything that tries to stop you.

Say “YES” to being Invincible and Unstoppable!

Say YES to the Greatness inside of you and the great destiny that lies before you.

If you do that, people will RESPOND MORE POSITIVELY to you, and are drawn more powerfully towards you.

God put a YES LIFE there and does NOT want it wasted.

Neither DO YOU!

Today…Say “YES!” to a Million Dollar Home Business!

MLM Training- How to Answer “What are You Selling” and “What Is It?”

September 6, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

mlm home business

MLM “What Are You Selling” Question.

Do you ever get the question of “what is It” when you are talking to someone about your home based business?

Are you taken back when they ask “What are you selling” when working your network marketing business?

Do you ever hesitate when asked questions that you do not know how to answer effectively?

There are only two types of groups: People who effectively answer the questions they get, and people who do not.

Which group do you want to be in?

That is the reason I wanted to address these questions. Someone emailed me recently and asked how do you answer these questions without sounding like an amateur, and i wanted to give you my opinion as I have gotten them myself thousands of times.

There is NO “magic answer” but I believe that you can answer these 2 questions powerfully if you know how. I struggled with these myself when I first got in and and I can tell you it was very uncomfortable for me not knowing what to say.

Do how do you answer these 2 questions?

Suggested Responses to the question “What Is It?”

“That is a great question! It would take me about ten minutes to tell you about it. All I can tell you is that it’s a business that has changed my life. I would like for you to listen to a brief conference call/CD/DVD / watch an online video/ featuring one of our top people who is crushing it in our company. She’s an expert and says it better than I ever could! (Give them the online video url, website, CD, DVD, landing page infor, etc)

or….

“You know, that is a great question… but I would rather you see it through your own eyes than mine. That is what I am looking for… an honest, unbiased opinion. We’ll talk after the conference call, Luncheon, appointment, etc). Is that fair?”

“It is the most amazing thing- It is a product that < benefits > that I can actually market out of my home. Have you ever run across a company called < name of your company >

or…

“I’ll let you decide that… here… listen to/look at this CD/DVD.”

Suggested Response to “What are you selling?”

“I actually am not looking to sell you anything, as this may not be for you. I only would like to get your input on something in the < industry > that I think is amazing and has helped me and many other people. You will definitely learn something and you might know someone who could benefit from something like this as truly the products are amazing.”

These are ways that you can answer these questions and move ahead in your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training- 10 Powerful Phrases to Say to become a “Follow Up MAGNET”

September 5, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

mlm network marketing

MLM The Follow Up Training.

Do you hesitate when you follow up for your home business?

How do you follow up for your network marketing business?

Are you powerful with the follow up or weak when it comes to the follow up?

Would you like to know some secrets that have proven to WORK and help build a billion dollar story?

Then read on!

The Follow Up- or what I call the “Reconnection” is one of the most powerful phases of the sponsoring and recruiting process. It is literally THE determining factor of your Success.

No Follow Up Power- No Deposit in the Bank Power!

The Follow Up actually is a MIND SET and a Set of Words, Questions, and Phrases that you can use. If you do the Follow Up correctly, you will find that this business of Direct Selling and Work at Home becomes a lot easier.

The biggest mistake made in the Follow Up is this:

Hesitancy.

It may be something that does not seem like an issue but it is with the prospect. YOU are asking the prospect to FOLLOW YOU into a company and anything you say to the prospect MUST be Leading, not just asking.

It is NOT what you say, but HOW you say it and the prospect perceives it. Say it with POWER and CONVICTION and watch the results start to change in your favor!

Here are things you can say

The Follow UP:

(After you have given them a CD / DVD or asked them to view an online Video, or a Sales or Landing page, download an ebook, listen to an mp3, watch ot on a mobile, or any other communication —this is what you ask:

“I am just curious Jim, what did you like the best about what you heard on the CD I gave you?”

“ “I am just curious Jim, what did you like the best about what you heard on your mobile with the audio I sent you?”

“ “I am just curious Jim, what did you like the best about what you heard on the audio I sent you on Facebook/ Google+/Twitter, etc.?

“Just curious Mary, what was your favorite part of the DVD that I gave you yesterday?”

“Just curious Mary, what was your favorite part of the video I sent to your mobile yesterday? Did you like the family in it?”

Hey Mark, I am curious. After listening to the CD, what was the one thing on the CD that really got your attention?”

Hey Mark, I am curious. After watching the Video I sent you yesterday, just curious….what was the one thing on the video that really got your attention?”

“Hey Larry, I have a question. What was the one thing that really impacted you from the DVD that you watched?”

“Hey Larry, I have a question. What was the one thing that really impacted you from that video that we discussed yesterday? Wasn’t it incredible?”

“Martha, this is Joey. I am just curious. Remember the audio that I recently gave you/ video I sent you? What was the single most powerful thing that you heard / saw on that?”

These are 10 Powerful phrases and questions you can say and ask when you follow up in your home business network marketing mlm business.

MLM Training- 7 MORE Ways to Open Up a Recruiting Conversation

September 3, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

mlm network marketing

MLM Opening Lines for Prospecting.

Do you have a standard opening line for your network marketing home business?

What do you say to your mlm prospect to start a conversation?

Are you open to some powerful opening lines for your home based business?

Here are 7 of the Most Powerful Quick Magnetic Opening Lines for MLM Recruiting that exist:

1. “I NEED YOUR HELP”—the Four most powerful words in Approaching people.

“Maybe you can help me. I have run across the most amazing thing. Have you heard of Network Marketing?”

“I need your help, as a friend. I have run across something amazing that has
really helped me. I would like to find some folks to share it with see how it can help them. Can you help me?”

“I need your help. Do you know anyone who < uses the benefit of your product> ? How would you like to possibly make some money by helping people you know?”

“I need your help. Do you know anyone who is into <benefit of your product>?”

2. “If the right thing came along…?”

“Let me ask you a question. If the right opportunity came along, and you knew it was right for you, and you could make some good money, would you want to know about it.”

3. “Do you know anyone…?”

“I need some help. Do you know anyone who would like to (have more freedom, more time with their kids, earn more money)? I have run across something amazing that has made such a difference in my life and how I feel about myself… and I want others to be helped by it too.”

4. “I thought of you…”

“I have run across a program that I am so excited about… because it helped me to (name benefit), and I thought of you. I want to share it with you,
because I believe it could help you the way it has helped me!

Could you listen/watch this tape/DVD for me and give me your honest input? (Or “Do you have a few minutes this week when we can get together?” Or “Can you join me on a call tonight at 9:15 to learn a little about it?”)

5. “Have you heard about this yet?”

“Just curious… I have heard about some amazing advancements in the < industry> and a business model called Network Marketing . Have you heard about them? Take a look at this… it’s amazing!”

6. “Do you have 5 minutes…?”

“I need your help. I need you to listen to this CD, then let me know who you know would benefit from this opportunity.”

7. “Just curious… Are you keeping your income options open?”

“I have run across a secondary revenue source that truly is amazing. Do you know anyone who would like to earn an extra $1000.00 a month? Do you have a second?”

Warning–Don’t Talk Too Much!

One of the most common mistakes new Resellers make is to say “too much too soon.”

When you approach with the tools, your goal is to arouse curiosity, not satisfy it. The less you say the more effective you willbe. The voice on the tool/conference /DVD call/website is the expert; so let him or her do the talking. Just let them know you have just heard/seen the most incredible tape/DVD, and you are excited for them.

These are 7 of the Most powerful ways to Open Up a Recruiting Conversation for your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training – 18 Ways to Open Up A Recruiting Conversation

September 1, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh 2 Comments

mlm home business

MLM Opening Up Conversations.

Do you ever talk to people about your home business?

Do you have a set script or do you “wing it” in your mlm business?

Would you like to know more ways to open up a conversation about your network marketing business to your prospects?

Opening up conversations are critical, but many people do not know how to do that- online or offline. These 18 “conversation openers” can work online as well as offline.

But here is a million dollar question:

How is the best way to start a Conversation?

TALK ABOUT THEM.

Make them the SUPERSTARS of your conversation.

And there are many ways that you can do that:

1) Notice something about them.

This is the easiest way to Start a conversation. It could be as simple as noticing what they are wearing, or what they are carrying. Notice something about which you can comment.

2) Compliment them.

Find something on which to compliment them. Make them feel good about seeing you or meeting you.

3) Ask a Question about them.

Asking questions psychologically draws people towards you. Ask a question about their families, jobs, hobbies, athletics, or any thing else of interest to them.

4) Notice the children.

Simply make a fuss over the kids. That should be a natural thing to do for anyone. Compliment them, talk to them, and encourage them.

Once you have started the-initial Conversation, then you must get them to agree to listen to the CD or watch a DVD or an online video. The video, or CD or DVD is for simply opening up their minds to something new and exciting and pouring the kerosene of Hope on their dreams.

You will find that there will be two types of people with whom you talk:

There are people who are OPEN to new ideas, and then there will be people who are CLOSED to new ideas.

You can get referrals from those who are closed to new ideas, and follow up with a contact about your company at a later date.

Here are some other Opening Up Phrases and Questions:

5. “Do you have a CD player in your car? Please listen to this. I could use your help on something.”

6. “How important do you believe that it is for families to be brought together? I have run across something that does just that –do you have a second?”

7. “How important do you believe it is for parents to see and talk to their children and grandchildren? What if they lived far apart but yet could see them everyday—would that be something special?”

8. “How critical is communication to businesses? What if businesses could talk to their clients and salespeople and have them together in one place with no travel expenses? How large of a market do you think there is for that?”

9. “Do you have a DVD player or computer? Here, please watch this. I am looking for someone and you probably know who I am looking for and you could possibly help me find them…”

10. “How many people do you know who Talks on the phone? I would like to share something with them that is amazing to see when using the phone.”

11. “What do you think of the idea of being able to help your friends and family with their telephone calls and actually making money with it?”

12. “You and I have got to talk. There is a new video technology company called Network Marketing that has just opened itself to the home business arena. You and I can be one of the very first ones to connect to it. When are you going to
be home?”

13. “I was just curious…have you ever thought about working out of your home?”

14. “Let me ask you a question…do you have people that you care about that need some additional income?”

15. “Do you know any people who would love to get their lives back and live life on their terms—not someone else’s?”

16. “I am not sure whether this would be something for you or not but I have run across something that I have found to be amazing. I am one of the first to connect to a new < > company with a home business attached…”

17. “I am not sure if this would be a fit for you but I need your input on something I have run across..…”

or…

18. “I am not sure if this would be right for you… but I want to share something that has made such a difference in my life…”

These are 18 ways to open up a conversation about your mlm network marketing home based business.

MLM Training- Secret # 1 of Never Getting a NO from Your Prospect

August 31, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh 2 Comments

mlm home business

MLM Recruiting Secrets.

Would you like to Never Get a NO from your home business prospect?

How would you like to go into the recruiting mode and not get a NO from your mlm prospect?

Would learning how to lessen the Nos in your business help you in network marketing?

There are many ways to sponsor and recruit. But there are also SECRETS of recruiting that can help you get more yeses then you ever thought possible.

The power of recruiting comes in your words and APPROACH to the the process. The focus you have in the recruiting process will play heavily into the results that you get in your efforts.

What if you could feel GREAT when you called your prospects knowing you were going to get more YESES then Nos? You can, and WILL if you focus on the right things.

The word YES is what most people are looking for when they recruit. and often they get the exact opposite. And that is why many people cannot recruit. They take the last NO into the next conversation and then gets the same result.

NO.

And because of that, you recruit less and less and less. And the next thing you do, is simply…

Quit.

Or something close to that.

Ok…How can you NEVER get the word NO?

There are many secrets that you can use, and this post we are going to go over one secret that I KNOW will help you in not getting the word NO.

What would happen if you would lessen dramatically the sting and pain of the word NO? Many things. But the great thing about that is you will:

Work harder.

Recruit more.

Talk to more people.

Connect online with more prospects.

Watch your network marketing business EXPLODE.

Yes, you read that right. NOT getting a lot of Nos can empower you and elevate your focus and expectations- which the prospects will FEEL and respond to in a positive way. And that is what you want- a POSITIVE response to your message and offer.

There is also one more reason why you want less Nos:

You will no longer FEAR the word NO.

It will become a non issue.

•1. Look Past the Prospect- Recruit THROUGH them.

•You MUST look beyond the prospect. This means that you need to look at who the prospect knows and likes and has credibility with.

•Recruiting THROUGH someone is a KEY. It is one of the greatest tactics that will accelerate your recruiting.

•It is about who is STANDING BEHIND THEM.

•NOT in front of you.

And if you ask for an introduction to who they know, then you will hear the word NO much less in your mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training- The 5 Steps to MAGNETIC Networking in A LIVE Event

August 29, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

mlm network marketing live

The 5 Steps to MLM Magnetic Networking.

Have you ever networked live in a meeting or an event for your home business?

What did you say about your direct sales business?

What questions do you ask the prospect when networking for your network marketing business?

There are 5 steps that we have found that works amazing in a live event. Below are some opening questions and then a breakdown of the Magnetic Networking process.

The Networking Approach:

1) “I am a professional in the community like you and I am introducing myself to..”

2) “I love networking with other professionals like yourself over a cup of coffee or tea.“

4) “I run across people all the time with certain needs in their life.”

5) “Maybe there is a way we could help each other.“

6) “Would you be open to some coffee sometime as I would love to get some of your cards – we may be some business synergy.”

Lets take a look at the 5 steps:

1) “I am a professional in the Community.”

This states an important fact:

You are one of them.

And this will create the start of a CONNECTION right off the bat, and also establish who you are to the Cold prospect, from one professional to another. Network Marketing is a profession, and you need to start treating it like one.

2) “I am introducing myself.”

This sets up an important paradigm. You are taking the initiative to introduce and meet people in the community, and you are a take charge type of person. And it shows you really want to meet folks, as well it shows Leadership.

3) “I love networking with other professionals.”

This states one thing: You value other professionals as a resource. And you also show that you appreciate the fact that networking does work in the business world And also that as a resource, a professional has value to you and your Network Marketing business, and vice versa.

4) “Maybe there is a way we could help each other.”

This establishes that you are willing to Increase and Improve your prospects business and life. And also you do care about helping people, plus you are showing Potential value right upfront.

5) “Would you be open for coffee sometime?”

This is the proactive part of it, and it simply gives them a chance to engage the budding relationship, or not. Most professionals do have an interest in increasing their business, so you will get some interest, and some time with many of them.

But if they say they are not interested?

Be a professional, and thank them for their time and wish them well. And see if you can get a card for a thank you note to send them.

“May I at least have a card in case I run across someone who would want your services?”

These are the 5 Steps to Magnetic Networking for our mlm network marketing home business.

MLM Training- 14 “Networking LIVE” Ice Breakers to Increase Your Recruiting

August 28, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

mlm home business

MLM Networking LIVE Tips.

Do you ever network in a networking environment for your home business?

Have you ever been to a Chamber of Commerce meeting for your network marketing business?

Do you know what to say in a networking event for your mlm business?

Conversation RULES in a networking event.

And it can be an ONLINE as well as offline event. There are many “networking events” in social media today, and they are almost as powerful as LIVE networking events face to face.

There is ONE rule to networking that works every time you engage it:

Keep the conversation focused on the person in front of you and make them a Superstar at a Conversation of one. Keep the focus on THEM and all they bring to the event.

Do NOT go off and start talking about YOU.

Give them a chance to ask about you and who you are, what you do, and other questions they may have. If you WAIT and let them ask you, what you say will be more credible and more MAGNETIC.

THEY asked the questions, and you simply replied.

Networking is simply “Casting your NET out and see what kind of Connections you can scoop up in it.” That is a really cool way to look at it, as all networking is for is making NEW connections that may be of value in the future for both of you.

Here are 14 Networking a Business Event Tactics:

Here are some questions that have worked for many and I encourage you to use them:

1) “What is your connection to the host of this party/conference/meeting?”

2) “How did you get involved with this organization/association/ group?”

3) “Tell me about yourself.”

4) “Tell me about your family.”

5) “What is it that you enjoy most about this time of year (season)?”

6) “What do you do for a living? Tell me about it…”

7) “Who do you know that might know about recreational activities/sports/events /local places to eat, in this area?”

8) ” Bring me up to date on your family/career/hobby since the last time we chatted.”

9) “Describe that for me, that sounds interesting.”

10) “Are you keeping your cash flow options open?”
