MLM Network Marketing Training -MLM Success is Working Network Marketing FAST

FAST MLM.

I had an upline once tell me, who by the way, has done 6 BILLION in this industry, that you need to work your business fast, not slow, and rapidly, not timidly. And if you did this one thing, your Network Marketing business would become easier. It would start to build some momentum, and build some real Power within it.

I listened to him, and went to work speeding up my efforts and focus, and increase the speed of everything I did. I did not become a maniac, but did put more activitiy in an hour than I used to. I wanted to build a better and bigger business. And besides, I had not done 6 Billion in volume, and he had!

You know, he was SO right! My business started increasing and building quicker, and it actually became easier to work like he said it would.

If you work this MLM business fast, and put the pedal to the metal, it becomes easier and more rewarding. For whatever reason, the results you get also improve a lot.

Why?

Three Major Reasons for FAST MLM.

I have found there are Three Major Reasons for Working Network Marketing Fast:

1) The right people have a tendency to show up if you work this business fast and the wrong people have a tendency to show up if you work this business slow.

That is so true.

Because when you work this MLM business fast, you exude a certain energy that attracts the right people, and also they can see that you are someone that really wants to get things done.

People have a tendency to be attracted to higher energy people, and when you display that energy, it does act like a magnet and draw people towards you at a quicker pace, and in everything you do.

2) You have a tendency to be more focused, more determined, and more serious.

People who are determined, focused, and serious, do not play with this business. They are like a heat seeking missile — dead on to the target and won’t be denied. Working MLM slow has little appeal to them.

Focus is a key element for Success in a home business, and when you become more focused, it has a tendency to build your determination, and seriousness of your efforts. It will require focus for you to put more activity in an hour, as well as determination to keep you focused.

3) Your thinking and mindset changes.

When you kick it into overdrive, and do more activity in a day than most do in a week, you will find your whole perspective on this business changes.

And you will realize what it really takes to succeed massively in MLM, and life itself.

Will it be FAST MLM or Slow for you?

Will it be Fast Network Marketing or Slow for you?

Are you now working FAST or slow?

The word FAST in MLM stands for:

“Fuel Accelerating Success Track”

Truly, working this business fast is a Success Fuel for your life!

The word Slow stands for:

Stagnation (and) Losing Over-power Winning”…

It seems that Stagnation and Losing many times become too strong of a resisting force to Win at MLM, when you work slow.

Yes, you can succeed at network marketing working it slow, but most of the millionaires I have met(including my former upline’s success and mine) in the industry have worked it in overdrive, to fight and overcome stagnation and losing in the long run.

What is your choice???

May I suggest you work MLM FAST — and get on the fast lane of Success in Network Marketing!

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Leads- The 5 Traits of a Great MLM Lead.

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Leads- The 5 Traits of a Great MLM Lead.

Doug Firebaugh

 

There are certain traits that you look for in a good MLM lead. After working a TON of leads, and blessed to having  built an organization worldwide, I have found that all good MLM Lead have 5 traits in common, with no exception.

 

These traits you look for, and if you find that a lead has at least 3 of them you have a great possibility for your business. And MLM Leads can also end up being one of the best revenue sources for you, but first, find these traits. If you do, you will strike GOLD. These traits are common sense in many respects, but many times are rare to find.

 

1)      A GREAT Personality.

 

One of the KEY traits that we have found is an infectious personality. A personality  that truly shines and glows. You can feel their warmth over the telephone, and sincerity. They have the type of personality that you simply want to be around, and talk to.

 

You know the type. For whatever reason, you ENJOY the conversation with them, and they are always positive, and optimistic. They have a tendency to make you glad that you talked to them, and you are drawn towards them

 

This type of MLM Lead can be a gold mine, as they usually hang out with people of the same personality, and same outlook on life. They rarely are down, and when you call them they always seem glad you called.

 

 

2)      High Energy.

 

Another KEY trait to look for is High Energy. But let me be clear: High Energy is NOT hype. There are many folks out there that you will call that will try to HYPE you into believing you have found the GOLD MINE you have been looking for, and will tell you all about how great they are.

 

High Energy people don’t really talk that much about themselves, but what they are doing. They focus on the engagement of actions and results, and you can FEEL their energy radiate form the phone and any communication they do. They can GET THINGS DONE, and refuse to quit during adversity. Plus, they have a great approach to Success in Life and Network Marketing- they have a philosophy of WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON?

 

3)      Great People Skills.

 

This trait is HUGE. They MUST feel comfortable with people. Especially people they do not know. In MLM, you will communicate and work with a lot of folks that you do not know. And if you find that your MLM Lead has great people skills, you will have found a great potential for Success in network marketing.

 

People skills include friendliness, good listener, sincere, great communicator, and loves people. If a person truly loves people, they will go a LONG WAY to being a Success as an MLM lead.

 

4)      A Good Listener.

 

An MLM Lead that is a good listener will end up being a better recruiter than most. Recruiting is all about listening to the prospect. If you find that the MLM Lead asks questions, and then LISTENS and them asks more questions, you have found a good possibility for a recruit. Listening is the MASTER skill in Communication in Network Marketing, and Recruiting. A good listener is hard to find, but they are out there.

 

Does the MLM Lead talk more than they listen?

 

Do they try and dominate the conversation?

 

Do they try and impress you?

 

 If this is the case, they probably do not have a great listening pattern established. But if they do listen to you, ask questions, and then ask more questions that make sense to ask, then you have found a potential gold mine for recruiting and building an organization.

 

5)      Available when they said they would be.

 

This is a HUGE trait that many MLM leads do not have. If a prospect says to call them back in 2 days, and you do, and they continue the conversation as before, you have a good one. Many MLM leads will not available at the time you call, because they had no intention to begin with of doing your business. A person of their word, who shows up for a return call like they said they would, is a person of integrity.

 

Many people will attempt to play hide and seek as an MLM lead, and that is just part of the business. If they do not show up like they said they would, that is an issue that you may want to consider in the future, as all Future Great Leaders keep their word.

 

And here is a BONUS Trait- DISSATISFIED.

 

A Great MLM lead MUST be dissatisfied with their income, life, future, or something. You are to help them change what they are not happy with in their life, with your products and company. If they are Dissatisfied, then that means they are probably LOOKING for something better. Help them find it.

 

These are the 5 Traits you should look for in a great lead. Yes, there are other traits that you will MLM leads, but these are the ones that we found to be worth GOLD in this business of working MLM Leads in Network Marketing.

MLM Network Marketing Training Network Marketing Success- The Power Boost for Your MLM Business

MLM Network Marketing Training Network Marketing Success- The Power Boost for Your MLM Business

by Doug Firebaugh

There is something that I have been observing over the last couple of years that seems to be a common problem with many people in the Network Marketing industry.

Many people in Home Based Businesses and Network Marketing operate their enterprises today with little or no Power of Success in them. Strategies and tactics are  very important in operating your business, but even the  best tactics of prospecting and recruiting will not yield you  the Success you seek, if you lack the power to drive them.

It is the same if your car was running on half power, and you were expecting it to accelerate quickly, and it does not. You get out, check the engine, and see that everything seems  ok, all the wires are plugged in, battery seems ok, you have gas, but yet it simply will not go any faster than 20 mph.

Why?

The MLM Power BOOST.

Your vehicle is lacking the “Power Boost” that it needs to go faster, and get you to your destination. It’s pistons are not firing correctly, the timing is off, and the spark plugs are dirty and need cleaning, plus there is blockage in the fuel lines.

Your vehicle is missing, and missing badly.

Here is my question: Is there Blockage in your MLM Success Fuel line?

Many a Direct Sales and Home Business are ‘missing” badly, just like  your car, and their Success Fuel Line is blocked and “gunked up”.  You do what you think is necessary to Succeed, but yet, it does not go any faster It keeps missing and going slow, and slower and slower.

You know what ‘GUNK’ stands for?

‘Giving Up (and ) Never Knowing (Success).’

Many people give up on ever Succeeding and then pour
their ‘gunk’ into others lives and dreams, slowing down their Success Journey.

Sound familiar?

Your Vehicle for Success has it’s fuel lines blocked  by the “gunk” of other peoples’ input and opinions, and Doubt. Your Home Business is missing one of the most important ingredients  for your Success Fuel to flow. It lacks the “Power Boost” that makes Success accelerate and show up quicker and stronger. It will get you up that hill of struggle quickly and successfully.

What would that “Power Boost” be and why is it a MUST??

The Power Boost is called DECISION.

Most people have never decided to Succeed, nor get serious about their business.

Decision changes everything in Success and Network Marketing. It changes and enlarges all the ingredients in your Success Pursuit including:

1) Your Energy and Confidence.
2) Your Body Language.
3) Your Tone in Your Voice.
4) The Look in Your Eye.
5) The Determination in Your heart.
6) Your Presence you carry.
7) How people respond to you.

How people respond to you can dramatically change when you engage  a Decision to Succeed massively in your Business. They will be more attracted to your offer, as the new set of “Power Boost” ingredients will  be felt and heard, and people are attracted to listen to people who know where they are going and who KNOW THEY WILL GET THERE.

Do you?

Have you made a “Power Boost” Decision to Succeed in your business,  or have you just made a choice to “try this business?” Decision will act like an  engine cleaner, and will flush out all that has been slowing you down, as your Decision is focused on what YOU decide, not what others are saying cannot be done.

DECIDE TODAY. If you want to truly Succeed in your MLM Home Business, then you need to make a Decision of the Heart, not a choice of the mind.

“I WILL Succeed at my business, because today, I have decided, that I will  not be denied.”

This one statement can radically change how people respond  to you, how people perceive you, and how people follow you. Your Presence  and Tone in your voice will change and become one of strength, not weakness.  This will be Magnetic to prospects. People have a tendency to be attracted to  and  follow people who have Decided to Succeed, not just try something to see what happens.

Where are you with this? Plug your business into the Incredible Power of  Decision and clean out your MLM Success Fuel lines. When you so this, you may  be saying the same words and doing the same presentation, but the prospect will hear a radically different message with a radically different Power that is totally MAGNETIC in MLM Network Marketing Success!

MLM Network Marketing Training- 7 MLM Prospecting Secrets

MLM Network Marketing Training-

7 MLM Prospecting Secrets

It never fails. Time and time again. Over and Over. Just like clockwork. You can almost predict it.

How many times have we been talking to someone, and they sign up, and we get all excited–and we wait. And we wait. And we wait. And then we wait some more, for them to show any true interest in this business. And then we keep waiting till we get discouraged.

Sound familiar? What went wrong? How did we blow it? We spent all that time to recruit them and they don’t do SQUAT! What happened?

INFERNO Secret:

Sometimes we are more interested in recruiting someone than actually qualifying them to see if they really have a chance of success in MLM. Have you ever done that?

INFERNO Secret:

You cannot PUSH a ROPE. “That dog ain’t gonna hunt” is a saying we have here in Dallas. Some “dogs” simply never get off the porch when it comes to taking action in their life!

So what do you do? How can you at least maximize your odds for finding the people who will be “More Likely” to be serious about this MLM business than not? Good Question!

I had the honor of being in the Financial Services industry before I discovered network marketing, and was blessed with being the only person in the history of the agency (92 years) to ever win a fast start award that the company had. I worked hard, and many long hours. But was shown an amazing secret to defining the right prospects that made a HUGE difference in my success. (Financial Service reps are GREAT prospects for this business!)

But a multi-million dollar earner in investments gave me what we call the “7 Star Formula” that defined who was more likely to do business with you than not, and I stuck to it and it worked.
I brought it into the MLM business with me and lo and behold it worked great! And I have also seen it in other places in the industry, so I know it has gotten some play in the marketplace. I cannot remember who authored it, but it’s HOT!

Here it is:

The “7 Secret Formula ” is the 7 key Traits for the best Potential MLM Prospects you look for in a prospect. It can tell you a lot of how this person will work this business.

INFERNO Secret:

There is NO sure fire formula for this, as the secret to success in this business lies within the HEART. But it will help save you a lot of time that you might have wasted with the “Not Likely” people.

When you are recruiting folks look for these 7 things–and each one is worth 1 star:

1) 25 years or older.

2) Married.

3) Has a child.

4) Has a fulltime job.

5) Has a Bank Account.

6) Owns a Home.

7) Can afford to invest a little money in their business.

OK–Why these particular 7 things? Because they show 3 things:

1) Solidity in their life

2) Obligation to the future

3) Strong Reasons to do better in Life

INFERNO Secret:

You are looking for the 5’s, 6’s, and 7’s. But if they are talking to a 2 or a 3, well, that is your call, as there are broke people who have come into this industry and done amazing things. But they are the exception. Odds are they won’t do a whole lot in Network Marketing.

If someone is 25 or older, it has been proven that they have taken MLM more seriously as a future. Yes, I know there are exceptions, and the Gen X folks are doing this business, but they are around 25 and up anyway.

If they are married, have kids, are working, own a home, and have a bank account, it shows they are MATURE enough to do this MLM business and RESPONSIBLE. These are KEY traits to succesful folks in a home business.

Rate each prospect you have with this formula and work first with the ones who are 5-6-7 on the scale, and then call the others. You must call all the folks you know, as they will at least be willing to help you in some way. But understand–there are Potential STARS on your list. You now know how to Define the “More Likely” that will be really serious about this business. Plus you now know who will be “Less likely” to be interested as well.

Your names you have on your list is your inventory, and you build your equity in your group with those names. Make sure you choose the inventory “More Likely” to build equity and success in your group, instead of ending up with total frustration and discouragement — in MLM Prospecting.

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Training- The Top 10 Resource Sites for MLM Training Tools

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Training- The Top 10 Resource Sites for MLM Training Tools

by Doug Firebaugh

There are many great MLM Tools that are available, and some, well, that are not so great. You need tools in order to build your business, and you need the proper trainings on how to use them properly.

We researched the best of the best, and looked at 5 things to qualify the best sites out there. This is in no way saying that the other sites out there are not any good. Most are really good sites. But these Top 10 MLM Tools sites had some over and above traits that make up for a good purchasing/training experience for Network Marketing Success.

There are some things that you need to consider before you spend any money on tools. We have found that there are 5 main things that you need to take a look at for great MLM Tools.

What are they?

1) Quality.

The quality of recording, sound, duplication, visuals, and content are all important. You need to make sure that the quality of the programs are good. Make sure the content is not just the same content you hear everywhere else as well.

2) Fresh Approach.

A great MLM Tool site will have tools with a fresh approach, and a fresh look. Make sure that the tools you choose have a fresh feel and material that can only be found on that tool you are considering purchasing.

3) Title of Tool.

Does the title sound appealing? The title will tell you if the content is going to be appealing. Unique, catchy titles are what you want to look for, but there are exceptions out there. Contact the site you are considering and find out it’s best titles according to their sales.

4) Shipping history.

Do you know someone that has used them before? Do they ship on time? How much do they charge for shipping? If it is more than say, $15.00 total for your whole order, than you may be charged too much. Check into it, and make sure that shipping is NOT a big expense, and they ship on time. International orders are an exception, as shipping rates can be quite expensive, depending on the destination.

5) Return policy.

Make sure that if you receive defective materials, you can return them no questions asked. This is a must for all training tools sites. This not only protects you, but tells the consumer the company stands behind what they sell.

BONUS– Also, make sure that the site’s Training Tools has all aspects of MLM Success covered. Make sure the company has products on recruiting, leadership, training, building an organization, and other pertinent subjects for MLM Success. The trainings should be available in different media, such as books, dvds, cds, tapes, etc.

Ok, what are the Top 10 resource sites for MLM training tools? (The are in no particular order. All are top 10 quality.)

1) www.tapesandtools.com

2) www.mlmleadership.com
3)
htwww.dreambuilders.com
4)
hwww.networkingtimes.com
5)
htwww.networkmarketingtimes.com
6)
hwww.mydswa.org
7)
hwww.mlmbrilliance.com
8)
hwww.clubrhino.com
9)
hwww.goldenmastermind.com

10) www.nexera.com

http://www.mlmbooks.us

Again, there are other good sites as well, and you may want to search on the search engines to find other mlm training tools. But whenever you do look for tools, ask others what they have used and the results they got from them, and the education they obtained, and if it was useful.

Remember the Golden Rule of Success in MLM It’s about TOOLS, not just Talent.

MLM Network Marketing Training Network Marketing Success- The Top 3 Secrets of Network Marketing Success

MLM Network Marketing Training Network Marketing Success- The Top 3 Secrets of Network Marketing Success

by Doug Firebaugh

What stops most people in MLM and Network Marketing? After studying this industry for over 20 years, and talking to thousands of folks, you learn a thing or two.

Many people enter this industry of Network Marketing, and find themselves out of it within a year or less. Why does this happen?

There can be many reasons for giving up on MLM, but we have found that there are three major reasons that people never reach Network Marketing Success in their career.

Are you there now? Are you ready to throw in the towel because you have gotten discouraged and frustrated and MLM is simply not working for you?

Dont you dare quit Network Marketing!

You need to read these next three things and see if they might be what is stopping you.

What are the three things that stop most Network Marketing Success?

1) Wrong expectations.

There are many expectations you can have for your Network Marketing business, but there are also the WRONG expecations as well.

Wrong expectations usually include expecting:

Everyone is going to be interested.
It is going to be easy to succeed in MLM.
You don’t have to be consistent in activity.
You don’t need to learn the basics of this business.
The first month will explode. (It rarely does.)
You can recruit a few folks and they will make you rich.
You will never get frustrated or discouraged.
You will never feel like giving up.
Your friends will not be interested.
You need to start in the cold market.

Create expectations of faith, and belief. But deal in what truly is possible the first 90 days for you.

2) A Slow Start.

You MUST get off to a fast start in Network Marketing Success, because this will be the start of creating a habit of quick actions and focus. A slower start is going to prove harder to get through the No’s and the usual learning curve of Network Marketing. Start making phone calls NOW. Make your list of names NOW. Go see your family and friends NOW. Make more appointments NOW. NOW creates the speed you need!

When you work this business fast, you find that you exude more energy, more motivation, more magnestism, and more excitement. This alone attracts people towards you, and you literally display a Presence of Network Marketing Success which people will find attractive and reassuring. Don’t worry if you have been working slow. Ramp it up! And quicken the pace of your actions.

3) Trying to Reinvent the Wheel.

Your company has a proven path to Network Marketing Success, and you need to walk that path, step by step. You need to use the tools your company provides, use the trainings they provide, use the online tools they provide, and any other business building resource they offer.

Why?

Simple. Duplication.

If you are new to MLM, you need to understand that there is a certain experience in the industry that has proven to create Success. Do not try and start doing your own trainings, or your own way to Success. Once you have experienced Success, and want to get creative, then do it. But wait until you have created some Success in your business, and have learned some things about Network Marketing.

Oh…your organization will appreciate it as well. You using the company trainings and tools, will only help your downline grow faster, then using tools that have been unproven and possibly may slow growth.

Network Marketing Success really is simple, and can be easy. Make sure that you create the right expectations, and understand that there is a learning curve for most people. Make sure you get off to a fast start, start doing the business NOW. And use the tools that have proven to work, not ones that have yet to be tested.

There is time for creativity in this business. Stay with what works at least for a while, to create a massive amount of Network Marketing Success in your life and business.

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Business- The 7 Business Factors of an Multi Level Marketing Business

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Business- The 7 Business Factors of an Multi Level Marketing Business

by Doug Firebaugh

So many people ask the same question: Is Multi Level Marketing a REAL Business? Is it truly a business that can produce a living and income? Is it a REAL distribution business? It is a business that operates for the customer’s satisfaction, and always looks to gain new customers?

Here is the answer: YES.

How and why does it qualify as a business? Every business has certain traits and functions that are needed to do business and stay in business. We have developed what we call the “7 Business Factors Test”, and you have to ask these questions to see if it qualifies as a business. All businesses, no matter whether it is a traditional business or a non-traditional business, (such as MLM), answer these questions in the affirmative.

What are the “7 Business Factors Test” Questions?

1) Does the MLM Business distribute goods and services of some type?

Answer: Yes.

In MLM, there are goods and services that are distributed through personal distribution methods, and they are distributed directly to the customer, with no middle man. These goods and services can be manufactured by the MLM company, but usually are not. The goods and services many times are manufactured by an outside source, and then shipped by the MLM Business to the customer or distributor. Then the distributor can take the goods, and re-sell them to their customers as well.

2) Does the MLM Business have an official Office, headquarters, or structure that the business is operated out of, and with an address of some type?

Answer: Yes.

All MLM businesses should have some kind of office or headquarters that the goods are shipped from, or at least in charge of the shipments getting to the customer. This does not have to be a fancy office, but one that can get all the tasks needed to run the business done in a timely fashion. They should have a visible address on all communication.

The distributor’s business is usually operated out of the home, and that counts as a structure that the home business is housed.

3) Is there an accounting structure that is set up to run the business effectively and legally?

Answer: Yes.

All MLM businesses should have an accounting function and personnel set up to handle all business transactions. They not only keep the books for the MLM Business itself, but also the MLM distributor as well. The MLM Business from the home should have some form of an accounting system, for tax purposes, and for profit and loss statements. Accounting also helps keep the Company and distributor aware of the health of the business and how it is doing, or not doing.

4) Does the MLM Business have easy communication to get a hold of someone if needed?

Answer: Yes.

Communication is the lifeblood of any business, and MLM is no exception. MLM Businesses usually not only have an order line, and a distributor line, but a general public telephone number that the public can get in touch with them as well. Usually at the MLM Business Office, there is someone to answer the phone as well.

And the MLM business should also have an email system that is watched, and taken care of, on a daily basis. This is not only for the distributor base, but also the customers and public as well.

5) Does the MLM Business have the needed business licenses and legal structure to do business in the states and countries they operate in?

Answer: Yes.

All MLM Businesses that have been in business for any amount of time, must have the needed legal structure and licenses to operate in every state. If they do not, they will eventually be forced to cease doing business in that state. And most MLM Businesses have some form of a corporate structure that the company operates under. That could include being a C Corporation, an LLC, or a Sub S Corporation.

Even MLM distributor needs a license to do business in their city, so they will not be penalized if they do not have one and are caught.

6) Does the MLM business operate on a FOR PROFIT basis?

Every successful business structure, traditional or non-traditional, should operate on a FOR PROFIT basis. Even the MLM distributor needs to operate on a FOR PROFIT basis. If the MLM business does not operate in a profit mode, and loses money continually, the MLM business will not be in business for that long.

It is the same way for the MLM distributor. If the distributor does not make any money, then they will not stay in business long.

7) Does the MLM business perform all of the needed business functions to increase business, including marketing, promotion, campaigns, running specials, advertising tools, customer service, brand extensions, research and development, direct marketing, increasing brand awareness, and keeping their vendors at an honest price?

Answer: Yes.

Every MLM business operates to increase business, using all of the functions mentioned, and more. Even the MLM distributor needs to perform some of those functions, to increase their own business in their marketplace. These are functions any business needs to do, in order to stay in business, and enlarge it’s operating capacity.

Yes, an MLM Business is a TRUE business that operates to service the customer’s needs, bring products and services to the marketplace, and show a profit at the end of the year.

MLM or Multi Level Marketing, has passed the “7 Business Factors Test.” If an MLM Business you are considering does not answer all of the above questions YES, then you may want to consider seeking another MLM Business that can pass this test as a Multi Level Marketing business.

Make sure that when you send in your new distributor paperwork , it is FILLED OUT PROPERLY. If it is not, it could cost you a month or two in getting a paycheck, and create unneccessary problems or delays.

5) “Schedule a Kick Off Meeting with Your Sponsor.”  

A Kick Off Meeting is where you “kick off” your business, by meeting your sponsor and getting an initial business plan done, warm market list done, etc. This psychologically is a MUST, as it creates an official “Doors Opened for Business” mindset, and an official START to bulding your business.

6) “Put Your Commitment in Writing. ”

With your sponsor, create a “Commitment Letter” stating what you will commit to, and what your sponsor wll do. There is nothing more powerful than putting down on paper and crystallizing your and your sponsor’s commitment. It will connect you to the Success Vision in a way that only your heart will understand, and your mind will focus on.

7) “It is ALL ABOUT LIFESTYLE.

People will enroll in Network Marketing because they are focused on enlarging their lifestyle, and future. It is about the house they want, the car they want, the security they want, and of course, even making a difference in other’s lives. It is The MLM LIFESTYLE Language, and you must keep that Language in focus, for you, and your team.

8) “Make the Golden Dozen List.”  

When a new person comes into Network Marketing, they need to be focused on what they want their new company to bring into their life. This is called “The Golden Dozen List.” This is a list of the 12 things that you want MLM to bring into your life that is not currently there. Dream of what you want in your life. List the 12 things you desire, and a the bottom draw a line with the date on it, and then sign it. This will show you what you are going to be working for, and can be your “carrot” or “stick” when hard times come.

9) Make your HOT Market List.  

When you start your enterprise, you must LOOK TO THE PEOPLE THAT WILL HELP YOU- NO MATTER WHAT! This is called your HOT MARKET. No matter what you do, these are the people that will help you in any way they can, and support you in any way possible. Call these folks first.

10) “Get familiar with the Tools and Brochures your company has, and any other training tool.”

Get familiar with the recruiting tools, the presentation tools, the training tools, and any other tool the company has. This also includes websites, webcasts, and conference calls. Learn how to USE THEM PROPERLY, and how to maximize the power within each. It is NOT just about TALENT, but about the TOOLS in Network Marketing.

11) “Get a calendar or planner to start focusing in on the time you will spend working your business.”

Get a Franklin Planner, or some kind of Day Timer, and start scheduling your actions and tasks. Yes, you can use a palm pilot, but I have found that planners are more effective for new people. When are you going to start your business, decide how many hours are you planning on working, and then highlight the hours you are going to spend working. This will give you a visual map of what your week looks like.

12) “Ask this question- Who do I know that knows a TON of people , and will be willing to help me get started with some names?”

Call them, and tell them you need their help. Go see them, and see what kind of help they can give you as far as opening doors and referring some folks to you. You will ride their credibility, and their contacts. Yes, you must call your own warm market, but this is a great way to jump start your business and MLM Success as well.

13) “Who do you know that is VERY Successful? Write their names down.”

Then call them. Ask for their help. Ask if you can come and see them, and show them what you are doing, and see if they have any suggestions in ways to marketing it, and promoting it.

14) “Find a good script to practice, and then reduce it into TALKING POINTS.”

There are many great scripts that you can use to call people with, and your MLM company probably has one. Find a good one that you can connect with, and then reduce it to Bullet Points that you can use in your own style. Then PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

15) “Find a good third party tool to help in your recruiting and presentation effort.

Many times we have a tendency to focus on the doing everything ourselves, and we end up talking ourselves out of the sale or recruit. Keep a tool handy to let the prospect look at, or listen to, and you can then have numerous presentations going on at once, using cds or dvds as presenters.

16) “Become a product of the product- and a Success story as well.”

You need to develop your own Personal Story, and your first 90 day story as well. Use your products and services, and become a Success at using them. Become the BEST at what the product can do, and the benefits it offers. Then use that story with your prospects to help sell the product line.

17) “Before approaching anyone, know the 4 Power Words.”

The most powerful words that you can use in approaching people are “I NEED YOUR HELP.” These words change the person’s listening from “What do they want?” to “How can I help?” Psychologically , they are Trigger Words. They trigger our instincts to help. Use them. They are powerful.

18) ” Set a time to start actually calling your warm market list, and write it down.”

This little tip will help you focus in on when you are pulling the trigger to call your list, but also psychologically get you used to the idea. Have your sponsor help if needed, with three ways. Either way, START CALLING.

19) “Ask for people’s HELP, Time, Attention, Assistance, or Input- but NOT their Money.”

People in MLM that come across like they have a dollar bill stuck on their forehead face massive resistance. Your prospect feels your hand already reaching for their money. Yes, you must get paid for what you do, but if you have a much better chance of doing business with them, if you ask for their help initially, vs. coming across like you want to sell them something. Seek their input FIRST, then seek the sale. You will be glad you did.

20) “You MUST learn how to Neutralize Objections. If you don’t, they will neutralize you.”

Objections are a training all by themselves. You must learn to neutralize them, and use them to work FOR YOU, not against you. Your company probably has a training on this, but if you do not, PassionFire does. If you learn how to master objections, you have learned how to master what stops most people cold in their tracks.

21) “Know the Three S’s of approaching your friends and family.”

The three S’s are” Short, Simple, Sincere.” Keep your approach SHORT for impact, SIMPLE for duplication sake, and SINCERE so they will FEEL your approach, not just hear it. This will help improve your response dramatically.

22) “Understand that Recruiting and Selling are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! ”

There are people out in the industry that will tell you recruiting is Selling, and Selling is Recruiting. They are wrong. Selling is Transaction based, and Recruiting is Transformation based. Selling is a one time event, where Recruiting births many events in the future. Selling is about CLOSING people. Recruiting is about OPENING futures. Don’t be misled. They are 2 totally different processes, with different skill sets needed, no matter what some folks say.

23) “Understand that people are looking for SECURITY in some form from Network Marketing.”  

People are ultimately seeking an MLM Lifestyle, but also SECURITY of Lifestyle and Future. Know that when you are talking to them, and aks them what kind of Security is important to them.

Resource for more information: “Objections Course 101- Neutralizing ANY Objection with Ease.”

24) “Promote HOPE- NOT HYPE!”

People today are too sharp to be hyped. Hype comes from the head, and mouth. Hope comes from the Heart and emotions. Don’t hype someone, as you will come across like a huckster. Be sincere, come from the heart, and talk to them about the Hope your company and products offer them, not getting rich. You can cover that part later, sincerely and heartfelt, when they have decided that your offer is worth listening to.

25) “It’s ALL about LEADERSHIP- for you and the prospect.”

People do not follow companies. People do not follow products. People do not follow compensation plans. People follow PEOPLE with STRENGTH. Keep focused on the Leadership factor. LEAD, don’t just tell. Start walking, and take people with you. Leadership is the SECRET to Success in MLM.

26) ” Always ASK for something to happen. If you do not, odds are, NOTHING will happen.”

Powerful focus. Ask for Help. Ask for Appointments. Ask for Input.. Ask for Opinions. Ask for  Referrals. Ask for Time. Ask for the Sale. Ask for the prospect to join you in your Success Journey. No matter what you do — ASK FOR SOMETHING!

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Leads- MLM Leads Success Training-Part 1

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Leads- MLM Leads Success Training-Part 1

by Doug Firebaugh

MLM Leads are a great way to not only create activity in your MLM Business, but also find some great people for your business. Many people are looking for a home business, and MLM Leads have proven to be a great source of Success with lots of folks.

I worked cold market MLM leads for years, and was blessed with great Success. The cold market can  be brutal, but also can be fun and easy if you know what to do.

The MLM Success Secrets.

What are some of the Success Secrets of working MLM leads?

1) Make sure you know who you are looking for.

What kind of person are YOU looking for? You need to make sure that the MLM lead knows that you are looking for a particular type of person, and that you would like to see if they qualify. The 5 traits you always look for are:

Ambitious.
Friendly.
Positive.
Leader.
Good communicator.

Let them know that those are the traits you are looking for, and the traits that have proven to be needed for Success in Network Marketing. Also, a good track record of Success helps as well.

2) Always give them an Exit Strategy.

Make sure that you let them know they are free to end the call anytime they choose. There are many ways to do this, but my favorite way is the FEEL FREE tactic we teach at PassionFire School of Network Marketing.

People will perceive with an Exit Strategy that there is NO pressure and that you are not trying to do anything except hold a conversation with them.

“And feel free anytime during our conversation to end this call if you feel that this is something that simply is not right for you. Does that sound fair enough?”

3) Keep the topic, focus, and conversation about them.

Ask, ask and ask more questions about the MLM lead. They want to see if you are interested in THEM, not just recruiting them. Ask about their family, where they live, the type of work they do, what they like to do in their spare time, what kind of spare time they have, what kind of money they are looking out of a home business, why they are looking at a home business, and what kind of Success are they expecting if they start a home business.

“Tell me about yourself” is the ULTIMATE Cold Market MLM Lead opening phrase that can be magic in MLM Cold Market recruiting.

Network Marketing Prospects.

4) Your first priority is to RELAX the prospect, then CONNECT to them.

You MUST Relax the MLM Lead if you are going to be on the phone with them and hold a conversation with them. How do you do that? get them talking about themselves, and you MUST come across as totally relaxed and in control as well.

Then find some things you have in common with the MLM lead, and connect with them on those things. It could be knowing someone in their city or state, same hobby, same type of family, same school attended, same industry you work in,etc. Find something to CONNECT with them, and it will be easier for them to connect to you.

5) Let them know that you only need 1 minute of their time.

We found that if you simply say, “I really only need 1 minute of your time, as I am not sure this is something that would be right for you or not,” that will open them up much more to listen, and you will find that most people will appreciate the respect you just showed for their time.

Many people are kept on the phone for 15,20,30 minutes at a time. Don’t do that. Set yourself apart from the crowd. Give them a timeline, and stick to it. If they find that you have something they might be interested in, you will know it. Say, “Is this making sense to you?” They will let you know if it is.

There are many great ways to create Success in MLM leads and in the cold market, but these 5 tips are the start of what you need to do in order to create a solid start with your MLM Lead and Cold market prospect.

MLM Network Marketing Training Newsletters- The Top 17 MLM Training Newsletters

MLM Network Marketing Training NewslettersThe Top 17 MLM Training Newsletters

by Doug Firebaugh

 

 

A good MLM training newsletter is worth a million dollars to a distributor in Network Marketing. Many Network Marketing newsletters/ezines can be found out there, and there are some really good ones. But there are also some newsletters that are not so good.

 

What do you do? Subscribe to them all and read them for a year, and then decide yourself? (You’ve got to be kidding!)

 

You don’t have to. We have already done that. We subscribed to over 100 MLM training ezines, (whew!) and found some really good ones, and others that are ones we cannot recommend. (There were 14 total people that read the newsletters regularly, and the top 17 list is the consensus of the 14 people.)

 

The MLM Criteria.

 

What were the criteria that we used to look at these network marketing newsletters?

 

1)      Constant fresh and unique training content.

 

We looked for a consistency in content, and fresh content. Many newsletters we found ran some of the same articles in their ezine. Others changed the titles, and kept the content the same.

 

We simply asked this question: Is the content unique and fresh and trains folks, not just motivates them. Many ezines were a lot of motivation, but little training. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you are looking for a training newsletter, it can be a little frustrating. What we found is that many were highly motivational, but not educational.  We support motivation by all means! But we could not include them in our top 17 MLM training ezine list.

 

2)      Delivery of the newsletter regularly.

 

We found that many ezines were emailed out every once so often, and not on any kind of a schedule. We felt that if you are going to be depending on a training letter as a way to learn this business, then you need to know that the delivery of content will be consistent, and dependable.

 

Either once a week, or twice a month was the average delivery time of the most read newsletters, and that seems to be what people are looking for.

 

3)      Topics focused on for what the distributor needs to learn to succeed.

 

 

The best newsletters we found had a focus of topics that would be what the average networker would need to know to create a successful business. These topics include recruiting, prospecting, approaching people, handling objections, doing presentations, following up, closing, training, building a downline, motivating your group, leadership, personal development, doing events, new distributor training, and advanced training in MLM and Network Marketing.

 

Many of the newsletters were too focused on one or two topics, and never varied for a more complete training program. There is nothing wrong with that, but a total training focus is what we were looking for.

 

4)      The Look and Feel of the MLM  training newsletter.

 

Many of the newsletters were only text, no graphics, but had great content. Many of the newsletters looked incredible, but their content was very weak. We found that the best training MLM newsletters had both. Even the text ezines were well put together, and had great content. A great example of that is Tom Big Al Schreiter’s Fortune Now Newsletter. It contains great stuff and it’s all text.

 

The feel of the training ezine was also important. Did they come across like authority writing? Was the feel of it directing, leading,  and teaching people? Was the feel of the newsletter friendly and warm, or cold? This was another factor that was part of the over all consideration.

 

5)      Did the newsletter want you to tell others about it?

 

This was a real big consideration. We talked to some folks that had subscribed to many of them, and they all basically said the same thing: The newsletters that they were talking about were the same ones.

 

This was important, as the content needs to be exciting, and strong enough for people to want to tell their team about it.

 

These were the 5 Most Important considerations of the Top 17 MLM Training Newsletters. There were other considerations as well, like popularity on search engines, ease of subscribing, reprints on sites, etc.

 

The Top 17 Network Marketing Training Ezines.

 

What are the top 17 MLM Newsletters and Network Marketing ezines? (These are in no particular order, as all are number one MLM training newsletters!)

Do your due diligence, and get archived copies of these MLM Training Newsletters, and read them and see what you are drawn towards, and want to subscribe to. These Network Marketing ezines are all great, and will help educate anyone on the Success aspects of this business.

 

And by the way, if you don’t care for the Network Marketing newsletter that you subscribe to, it should have a very easy unsubscribe process.

 

These are the best of the best MLM Training Newsletters as far as learning MLM and Network Marketing. Yes, there are great internet training newsletters out there, as well as home based business as well. But these are focused on Power learning MLM and these are the most powerful of all the MLM Newsletters and Network Marketing ezines.
