MLM Network Marketing Training Avoid these 6 barriers that stop MLM customers in their tracks.

By Kim T. Gordon

    Here’s a plain fact: Marketing exists to support sales. Sure, it’s also used to create awareness and build a brand image. But ultimately if your marketing doesn’t motivate customers to take action, it’s probably not doing it’s job.

    If you’re experiencing less than stellar results when it comes to getting customers to respond to your MLM marketing messages, it may be time to take a hard look at your campaign. Here are 6 factors that may stand in the way of customer response, plus tips on what to do to improve your response rates.

1. Ads Are Out Of Context   

With the proliferation of specialized media, it’s easier than ever to reach prospects in the right place at the right time. For marketing success, your customers must be exposed to your message when they’re in a receptive frame of mind. Suppose you owned a landscape nursery. You’d wouldn’t place your newspaper ads in the Business section — you’d run them in Home and Garden, because readers there are more likely to be interested in landscaping their properties and would find your ad relevant. You’d follow the same principle if you used local cable TV advertising by running your ads during gardening shows, not general programming, in order to present your message in the right context

2. Benefits Are Weak or Missing

    Sometimes marketing campaigns that reach prospects in the right context fail nonetheless because their message is all wrong. No matter whether you’re running advertising, sending direct mail or even placing PR, it’s vital to create a benefit-oriented message that will capture the attention of your target audience and motivate them to take action. What specific benefits will your prospects derive by responding to your marketing? Benefits may be tangible (such as saving money) or intangible (such as peace of mind) and they should help to differentiate your Network Marketing company or its products and services from competitors

.3. The Offer is Off-Target   

When a campaign fails, the real problem may lie with the principal offer, such as when the product or service that’s being marketed lacks the right appeal. This can often be overcome by bundling in additional features that meet the special demands of the target audience. And if a special offer is used to motivate responses, it’s not unusual to test several different versions to find the one that pulls best.

4. The Execution Is Poor  

  Many forms of marketing are not do-it-yourself projects. Creation of advertising is something that should be left to experts. And even then, it’s important to enlist the right people. Some designers and copywriters specialize in direct mail and collateral materials, while others create ads for magazines. Marketing failure is often the result of poor copy or design execution. At other times the advertising or materials may look great – but they just don’t work because tried and true rules have been ignored. It takes experience to create marketing that produces results

.5. Your Marketing Is Invisible   

Your prospects can’t respond to your ads or place orders on your Web site if they never see them. When it comes to advertising success, small-business owners tend to underestimate the amount of frequency required for their ad placements to be remembered by prospects, or to achieve “penetration.” The exact ad frequency required for each unique campaign will vary, but the bottom line is that multiple placements in a single publication or within specific broadcast programming are absolutely essential. And if you want to make sales on an e-commerce Web site, you’ll need an effective online advertising campaign to send MLM prospects there. It’s unrealistic to expect high traffic volume without one.

6. It’s Too Hard to Buy

    No matter how compelling you make your marketing campaign, if you ask prospects to take too many steps, or if there are other sales barriers (such as uninformed salespeople or out-of-stock products), you’ll lose them. For example, suppose you send out a direct-mail package for a service business. Interested prospects respond by calling your toll-free number, but get voice mail – and most hang up. Only a few, highly motivated prospects leave messages on your voice mail. Then you call them back, miss them, and leave messages of your own. At this point it’s unlikely your prospects will return your call. Get the picture? For best results, walk through your sales process to eliminate any unnecessary actions and to make sure prospects who respond can quickly take advantage of your Network Marketing offer.

Kim T. Gordon’s columns and articles are read by nearly 3 million small and home-based business owners each month.  She is the author of three books, including Big Marketing Ideas for Small Budgets: A step-by-step guide to growing your business.

MLM Network Marketing Training -Why You can ALWAYS Succeed in Network Marketing

October 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training -Why You can ALWAYS Succeed in Network Marketing

 

Some people believe that network marketing really doesn’t work. To put it lightly, they’re WRONG. I am going to take the next few minutes to explain to you why network marketing will always work so that the next time someone takes the time to tell you that network marketing doesn’t work you explain to them how misinformed they truly are.

Here is why Network Marketing will ALWAYS work:

Even in a strong economy people will ALWAYS need supplemental income:

The truth is most people live pay check to pay check. They aren’t able to buy the nice things that they want for themselves and their families. There is and will always be a constant DEMAND for more money.

Network marketing is a simple, part time and low risk way for full time workers to fill this need. To put it simply, as long as people need money network marketing will ALWAYS be there to fill that need.

People will ALWAYS want freedom from jobs they don’t enjoy:

Despite what you may think, there are people out there that truly don’t enjoy their job. They go to work because they have to and not because they want to. Network marketing offers a promise of true financial freedom.

The ability to leave the 9 to 5 working world. This freedom will ALWAYS be to tempting to pass up.

People will ALWAYS want more free time to do with as they please:

Did you know in a past poll conducted by Money magazine that 64% of American men and 68% of American women polled said that if they had a choice between more money and more time off they would choose the time? People covet their free time.

Network marketing offers the promise of working from home and making your own hours. Again, the opportunity to create free time will ALWAYS draw people to network marketing.

Conclusion:

As long as people crave time, moeny and freedom network marketing will ALWAYS exist.

The next time that someone tries to tell you that network marketing doesn’t work you know that they couldn’t be more wrong.

All you have to is ask your accuser 1 of 3 questions:

Do you want more money?
Do you want freedom from your job?
Do you want more time?

I guarantee they will answer yes to one of these questions. When they do they will have proved exactly why network marketing will always work!

MLM Network Marketing Training -MLM Success- The Top 7 Mistakes Made in MLM

October 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training -MLM Success- The Top 7 Mistakes Made in MLM

You’ve done it. You’ve signed up with a network marketing company. You’re ready to get started with your teams advertising system. You’re ready, set, go. All the ads hit, you’re excited. Like a kid who can’t wait to go to Disney World, you wait for the responses to pour in.

After 2-3 days… Nothing.

Why didn’t anyone respond?

Don’t worry. You’re not alone. Matter of fact, this is a common scenario in MLM. People get jazzed, sign up with their uplines co-op, fire off a few hundred emails, get the postcards, and nothing comes of it.

Marketing experts they are not. You, of course, are smarter than that, which is why you’re reading this special report right now. You want to know the top 7 mistakes people make in MLM, and you want to know the solutions to them.

The Top 7 MLM Mistakes:

Here they are:

1.) ** Using “Institutional Advertising” **

Institutional advertising is advertising that does not focus on your prospects. Rather on you, your company, your pay plan, your products, your bonus pool, your packaging, or the sales people at the home office.

Anything that does not focus solely on your prospect is institutional advertising. Think of Coke-A-Cola. That’s institutional advertising. Their sole purpose is brand their name into your mind. That way when you get thirsty and want a soda, you buy a Coke.

You must focus on your prospects ego and their desires. What they want takes priority over what you or the MLM company you’re with wants. Tell them what’s in it for them.

Solution: Create prospect focused advertising and drop your ego and appeal to the prospects ego.

2.) ** Fell Into Management Mode **

This one is a biggy. In order to make money in network marketing (or in direct selling) the life blood is new business. For the first 2-3 years new business is what drives your income.

If you spend all of your time managing people and none of it actually acquiring new business you’ll fall into a mode where your income levels off or just drops. This is management mode and it will stop you dead in your tracks from making long term income from MLM.

Solution: Always be moving forward, building your group. Leading by example. By building.

3.) ** Making MLM Your Business **

One of the most sobering and completely real facts of MLM is that you do not own your own MLM business. At any moment in time the network marketing company you’re with could shut it’s doors, change it’s policies, cut the popular products (not likely, but happens) or any number of things that would instantly stop your income or cut it by 50%.

Making MLM your business limits you. Stops you from seeing all of the possibilities outside the MLM industry. Instantly turning your income into something that is in reality, not yours. Make MLM a part of your business. Not the sole reason it exists.

Solution: Expand your business into other areas. Not just MLM.

4.) ** Not Being Personal **

MLM takes time, money, more time and more money to develop. As does any profitable business. However, in the day of emails, fax machines, web sites, online video, and super technology, it is easier than ever to forget you are working with real live people with real live problems and worries.

Adding a personal touch to the process will build your credibility, and build trust with those you plan on working with.

Solution: Add a personal touch and build trust

5.) ** Not Being Realistic **

Technology makes it easier for you to contact more and more people at an ever growing rate. Which leads some people to hype up their claims. Hyped up claims are not always so outrageous they instantly appear full of hype.

Some of them are subtle, like, “No direct selling.” Which seems like a benefit, because people hate to sell. In truth, direct selling is network marketing. You are not as aggressive about it. But you will, and always be selling something to someone.

Solution: Be Realistic and understand network marketing is a selling business.

6.) ** Losing Focus **

Losing focus is easy. Thousands of ways to advertise and reach your market exist. Pick 1 or 2 or 3 of them. Not all of them. Focus on what works, and drop what doesn’t. If you know it’s not working after a few weeks, don’t do it anymore.

Truly effective advertising works in just a short time. Not 3 years. Save yourself time and money and find an alternate way to reach your market once the way you’re using proves itself to be ineffective.

Solution: Focus only on one, two or three advertising strategies at time. And focus on them until they prove to be ineffective.

7.) ** Becoming a Computer Jockey **

A Computer Jockey? What’s that? Computer Jockey’s are people who sit there in front of their computer and try to work their MLM business completely online. 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

This is just insanity. While the world wide web does offer more affordable ways to reach your market. It isn’t the only game in town and placing print ads and sending sales letters to people offline is not only effective, but sometimes more effective.

Solution: Try advertising offline as well to expand your reach.

MLM Network Marketing Training-Clueless about Network Marketing?

Clueless About MLM?

Clueless About MLM?

MLM Network Marketing Training-Clueless about Network Marketing?

Clueless About Network Marketing?
By Cora L. Foerstner

A year ago, I began reading about real estate and residual income. My desire to become an entrepreneur was born. As I read, the term network marketing and its synonym multi-level marketing (MLM) kept popping
up. The authors of these buzz words didn’t bother
explaining or defining them. They assumed that I,
their eager reader, knew their meaning. I asked around, but no one had a clue as to what network marketing was. Thus began my quest to discover what I could about MLM, since its proponents boast that anyone could start a business for as little as a few hundred dollars. Finally, I struck gold. I stared open mouthed at my computer screen.

The name of the network marketing company jogged an old memory. In high school, I had known a young man who belonged to this company. A couple of times, he came to pick me up for a date, and before we left, he would clean my mother’s stove or refrigerator, showing her the miracles of his product. His goal, I assume, was to make money and dazzle me with his entrepreneur qualities. I was humiliated because my mother was taking advantage of him to get her kitchen cleaned and because this boy was embarrassing me – I wanted to go to a movie or to a party, and he was cleaning my mother’s appliances. I had the holy grail in my hand, but I felt apprehensive.

I told my colleague what I’d discovered. He shrugged and said, “It’s a pyramid scam.” But I found that the lure of residual income far outweighed my apprehensions. Today, I’m a proud network marketer, ready to give anyone, who is as clueless as I was about network marketing, my fledgling expertise.

Here’s the scoop. DEFINITION: Network marketing is a business that markets a line of products or several lines of products through independent salespeople. An independent salesperson is recruited; she, in turn, recruits other people; these people recruit others, and so it goes.

Each representative builds her own business with her recruits and their recruits under her, and she makes commission on the sales volume of her team. The people under the independent salesperson are called the downline. The potential for increasing the downline and earning money is exponential. SCAM or LEGIT BUSINESS:

When I was in high school and amorous young men were cleaning appliances, many fawned upon these companies. Let’s face it. There were lots of jokes. Most people didn’t make much money; they pestered their family and friends, and horror of horrors, they had garages filled with unused products that they had to buy to meet their quotas (a certain amount of the products a salesperson or team has to buy).

Times have changed. Today, major corporations and Fortune 500 companies, like AT&T, MCI, Citigroup, and IBM, have multilevel sales forces. The difference between network marketing and a pyramid scam is easy to explain. Network marketers sell products; they run businesses. A pyramid scam is a con. People give someone money in hopes that they can
get other people to give them money. The claim is that anyone can get rich just by finding other people to do the same. There is no product, no business. The people at the top make lots of money. The scam falls apart. This is illegal. People get arrested. THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY: Not all network marketing companies are created equal.

There are some excellent ones, some okay ones, and some down right awful, ugly ones. If you are looking for a network marketing company, you have to do your due diligence and make sure that you find an excellent one. Remember that you
are investing in your future. RESIDUAL INCOME: What network marketing offers is a way to create residual income, while working part-time.

Network marketing is not a “get rich quick” scheme. Those who succeed work hard, but they are creating something magical: residual income. You go to work, and you get paid. If you don’t go to work, you don’t get paid. This is linear income. Residual income doesn’t depend on you working. Think of an author, who writes a book and gets a royalty check year after year. Residual income, like royalty checks, keeps coming and allows people to retire, have the freedom to travel, and do other wildly pleasant
things.

MY 12 SUGGESTIONS FOR MLM NEOPHYTES FROM ANOTHER NEOPHYTE:

1. Don’t rush into network marketing. Look around and find a good company that suits you and your needs. Don’t get pressured into anything. Ask lots of questions of the network marketer you are talking to. Avoid high pressure people.
2. As soon as you finish reading this, run out and buy Wave 4: Network Marketing in the 21st Century by Richard Poe. I don’t know Richard Poe, but I do know that this book explains everything.
3. Find a company and product that you are EXCITED about. It’s hard to sell something you don’t believe in. Ideally, you want a product that people buy over and over again, month after month, year after year, and a company with values that are congruent with your values.
4. Look for a company that has been around and proven itself. Someone who has been in network marketing and has experience might take a chance on a new company, but a novice should be more careful.
5. I’d suggested publicly traded companies. Their financial statements are public, and you can request their financial portfolio. Go to www.morningstar.com, or www.nasdaq.com, or www.valueline.com, or your favorite place and do some research. You just need the company’s ticket number, and you’re off and running. If you don’t feel confident doing this yourself, find a friend who knows something about stocks and financial statements, and ask her for help.
6. Check out the compensation plan. Is the commission fair? How often do it pay? Does excess sales money roll over? Does your team have to meet a quota? This could be a big drawback. If there are hefty quotas, you might find yourself buying products you don’t want. Poe’s book is priceless here; he explains the different commission plans.
7. Do you have to buy, store, deliver products? Most network marketing companies don’t do this any more. Most companies provide online or phone ordering, and the company distributes its products. You place an order, and they do the work.
8. Training is very important. What kind of training program do they have? In network marketing, team members help each other build their businesses. In network marketing, if the people on your team are successful, you are successful.
9. How do you work your business? Face to face with people you meet? On the internet? Or a little of both? This is important. Are there hidden costs in marketing? Ask for details.
10. See if you can find any dirt on the company. Check with the Better Business Bureau. Are there complaints against the company? What kind of complaints? You can do this online. Know what you are getting into.
11. IMPORTANT: Make sure that you are willing to commit time and energy to building your business, 10 to 20 hours per week. If you have a family, make sure they are cool with this.
12. Don’t quit your day job! At least not until you are making more money in network marketing than you are in your nine to five.

MLM Network Marketing Training-Developing Your 30 Second MLM Commercial

October 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training-Developing Your 30 Second MLM Commercial

 

Developing Your Verbal MLM Logo

by Gary Lockwood

The next 30 seconds may determine whether you get your funding, make the sale or establish your point-of-view!In this faced-paced, mile-a-minute world, you often have only a few seconds to get your message across. Most modern television and radio commercials are no more than 30 seconds. Where could you use an effective 30 second commercial message about your business?

These MLM mini-messages are ideal for investor meetings, networking meetings, trade shows, interviews, sales calls or any situation where you need to quickly promote your business.How do you develop these messages effectively? Think in terms of “sound bites”. Prepare your brief message just like a speech, with an opener, the content and the closing. Let’s examine each of these in more detail.

The Opening

The purpose of your MLM opening is to grab attention. You must assume that your audience is generally as busy and preoccupied as you are. So you need to first get their attention with a question, “grabber'” words, humor or an interesting visual. Using a question as an opener causes the listener to stop and think. “Do you want to change the world?” “How many new pros- pects do you want today?” “When do you want to feel good again?”

Once you have their attention, your message can help them answer the question.Grabber words are designed to startle, shock or at least cause your listener to want to listen to what’s coming next. The first sentence of this article is an example.A funny comment or an eye-catching visual are always effective ways to get the attention of your listeners in a hurry. Obviously, any of these openings must be relevant to your message, or they will confuse your listeners.

The Content

Once you have their attention, relate your main Network Marketing essage. Since you usually have only three or four sentences, you need to craft this message carefully. The most effective message is the one that states what your business can do for the listener. In other words, talk about the benefits to be received by using your product or service. Don’t say “I’m a dentist”. Say ” I improve the health and well- being of my clients. Healthy teeth help you look good and feel good”.The bottom line is that your listeners don’t care what you do. They care about what you can do for them. Talk in terms of results, feelings, benefits, outcomes, ideas. Imagine your listener with a sign on their forehead that reads “So What? What’s in it for me?” Remember, you only have 30 seconds. There will be time later to explain how you do these great things.

The Closing

Here is where you ask for action. As a result of your 30 second commercial, you want your listener to do something or think something. Ask:


“When can we meet?”
“Give me your business card”.
“Call today”.


“When you think of shoes, think of The Shoemaster”. Also appropriate is your catchy tag line. The closing may be the only part of your message that your listener will remember. What do you want them to remember?So, there it is. Your miniature speech takes only 30 seconds. And it has a beginning, a middle and an ending. What can you do to make all this come out sounding and looking smooth, confident and compelling? Prepare and practice.

Prepare by writing out your message, thinking through the key elements and deciding exactly what you want your listener to be doing or thinking at the end of your message.Practice by saying your MLM message aloud. Rehearse this brief speech. Saying it aloud causes you to pay attention to the sound and cadence. Practice in front of a mirror and you will see the gestures and body language that make up such a large part of the communication.

Remember, it’s not just what you say, it’s how you say what you say that makes the difference. For your 30 second commercial to really be effective, you must act like you mean it, sound like you mean it and look like you mean it. How do others realize that you really mean what you say? They notice your enthusiasm, your mannerisms, your tone of voice, your posture.

Part of your preparation is to be consciously aware of your non- verbal communication. If possible, video yourself giving your MLM message. Replay the tape several times. Once to listen and observe the overall effect of your message. Watch it again without sound. What are you telling the audience by your posture, body language, facial expressions and your gestures?

Do you look and act like you really mean it?Replay the tape again with your eyes closed. Listen for distracting sounds such as “uh”, “ah”, “ya know” or sighs. All these things subtract from the effectiveness of your main message.In our MTV-world of excessive sights and sounds and experiences, make your point and get your message across in a well prepared, well rehearsed 30 second commercial. Think of it as a brief speech.

Mix preparation with inspiration and you’ll get a standing ovation in your MLM and Network Marketing business.

MLM Network Marketing Training-MLM Success- Rainmaking in MLM

October 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training-MLM Success- Rainmaking in MLM

 

The Rainmaker
by Gary Lockwood

The MLM Rainmaker.

Remember when scientists used to seed the clouds to try to make it rain? They would fly over rain clouds and dump salt pellets to try to force the rain from the clouds. I guess they figured that they could just help Nature along a bit.In my years of helping business owners and professionals discover ways to grow their business, I’ve seen many who sat around waiting for rain. They would wait by the phone, hoping a prospective client would call or come to the business. Their attitude seemed to be a combination of passive hope and resignation. They hope someone will do business with them. They hope that others will initiate contact with them. They seem resigned to whatever MLM business floated their way.Others, including some of the most successful, took positive action “to make it rain”.

These are the ones who made calls, ran ads, got out of the office to make their own contacts. Through their Network Marketing activity, these business professionals created opportunities for new business.A few years ago, my own business went through a slow period. As the MLM business slowed down, revenues decreased and demands on my time decreased, too. For awhile, I enjoyed the slower pace. Then I figured out that we were on a path to financial disaster. I realized that something had to change drastically.Verna, my wife and business partner, finally said, “Get on the phone and stir up the cosmic dust”!

So, I took her advice and started making calls. I called everyone I knew. I called past clients, old prospects, people from my old phone lists. I even called people I knew in a previous company.

Also, I got out of the office and attended business mixers, seminars and other events where business professionals (my target market) tended to show up.

Sure enough, after I started all the activity, we began to notice that the phone was ringing constantly. We were getting calls from prospective clients wanting to know more about our services.

Even more interesting, many of the incoming calls were from people we did not contact. It seemed like the very act of outbound activity was causing inbound business.Time and again over the years, I’ve seen this phenomenon. Positive action, directed outward seems to stir up the cosmic dust. It doesn’t work if the actions are directed inward. No matter how many times you count the inventory, rearrange the furniture or have internal meetings, these inward-focused actions won’t cause clients to show up or prospects to call you.

Making Rain in Network Marketing.

So what does this mean for you?

Consider a couple of things. First, brainstorm the types of outward-focused activities that are appropriate for your business. Would it be appropriate to make calls (to whom?), go visit (where?), run ads (what type, when?). Would it be reasonable to attend mixers, seminars, do some direct mailings, conduct a telephone survey, or canvass the neighborhood?

Next, pull out your calendar and start blocking off some time for these tasks. Generally, this type of business-building activity is best done in blocks of time, so pencil in blocks of one to three hours for this.Clearly, most of these actions require preparation.

To make sure you don’t make a career of just the preparation, schedule the set-up tasks on your to-do list for specific days. That way, you’re more likely to get them done

.Finally, just do it. You know in your heart that you enjoy the results of this business-building action, especially when the revenue starts to come in.

The benefits to you and your enterprise are legion. More clients, more revenue, better client relationships and happier employees are just a few of the advantages you’ll realize when you take action to make it rain.

So, what are you waiting for? “Stir up the cosmic dust in MLM and Network Marketing “!

Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Success- The MLM Quitter’s Graveyard of Dreams

October 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Success- The MLM Quitter’s Graveyard of Dreams

by Doug Firebaugh

Leadership in Network Marketing requires sometimes to look at things in ways that others don’t, to see things in ways others never will, and to think in ways others don’t dare. This artice is a hard hitting article because it tells the truth about quitting in MLM and Life. It is a different approach to quitting and tells of a different way of thinking about quitting on your dreams. It will make you think.

It’s called “Leading Edge Thinking” by some folks.

And there is something that we at PassionFire call the “MLM Quitter’s Graveyard of Dreams” which says it all. It reads what the “Networking Dead” would want to say to their MLM Company and their Upline, but doesn’t dare. It reads what the “Walking Corpse of Failure” in MLM would want to say to the people that go after them in most cases, but don’t dare.

Why?

Inferno Secret:

Others have succeeded, BIG! HUGE! But not them.

This Tombstone in this Graveyard of Dreams was written hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month, with the Letters engraved by the Pen of Inactivity, Ink of Self Doubt, the Hand of Procrastination, and the Letters of Deception.

What does this Network Marketing Tombstone say?

Why would we learn from it?

How can we change ourselves before it’s too late?

You decide.

Imagine, it’s foggy, and raining, and you are walking in the Graveyard of Dreams, and you find this tombstone suddenly. It is old, and chipped, and cracked. You just stare at it for a minute, and then kneel down. You wipe the mud off of the marble stone, and look at it.

It reads:

Here lay a deceased Network Marketer’s Dreams. Full of cancer of “Group Think” and “They know what they are talking about-itis.”

The words penned but never uttered are written on this tombstone for all to see, and be advised this was not death by Natural Causes, but by Natural Excuses. Excuses taught to them by the Poisoned Anthrax of the Mediocrity crowd.

All have regrets for listening to the Death Toll of the average:

I wished I would’ve Talked to more people

Sad, but true. The ring of the death bell of MLM constantly cries out for that, because they realize too late that NUMBERS were part of the Success Formula. They were too focused on being BUSY, and not Building a Business. They were too focused on begging People, not Building them. They were too focused on Hanging on to the ones that were leading them on, not the ones who could lead them into Success…

I wished I would’ve been more consistent.

Woe to the “Spare timers!” You can work this business either Full time, Part time, or Spare time. And most ork it Spare Time, only when they can Spare some time and “Fit it In.” They will, but that will create such a lack of Oxygen for your business. The Oxygen of MOMENTUM, that you will soon find your business passing out, and then passing on.

I wished I would’ve trained my people, not Play-Trained them.

The sound of this rings hollow, for the Training is not to be played with, but to be embraced and realize this is what breathes life into the Soul of the Distributor’s Dreams.

The bell of Regret rings with an empty sound because Playing at MLM training is the same thing as Playing with Land Mines. Both will explode underneath you without any warning.

I wished I would’ve been IN the business, not just in the Computer.

The scent of realization sometimes hits hard, and can burn. But there is a certain mindset and heartset that you must acquire and grow. If the Business is not in you, then you are only in the computer, waiting to be deleted.

I wished I would’ve given it just once. All I had, to obtain all I wanted.

Most people never give 50% of their best, let alone 100%. That will kill a business quicker than anything. For this business doesn’t require 100%. It DEMANDS IT! If you give it 100% for 90 days, as hard as you can go, you will never have a tombstone like this.

I wished I would not have been so good at Lieing to myself.

We all lie to ourselves in life. We all deceive ourselves to try to convince ourselves that we add up, that we are good enough, that we gave it all we had, and in the meantime we are killing our self respect because deep down in the recesses of our hearts, we know it isn’t true. And the cancer of “The Lie” eats away at our ability to face reality at what we are REALLY doing, and it slowly kills the belief in this Network Marketing business.

I wished I would’ve believed in me more.

The Pneumonia of Unworthiness is a killer. It can reach down inside of you and destroy everything that you strive to do. We all doubt ourselves in MLM, but it ‘s the ones who take a shot of “If they did it, I can do it’ that survive and thrive in this business. You can believe in yourself more. Find someone who will let you lean on their belief while your’s heals. Talk to an upline or someone in your company, and grab that Life Line of Truth that you are worthy and that the Power of Greatness lies within you. You are just waiting to prove all the naysayers WRONG.

Let their Dreams die, but not yours.

INFERNO Secret:

You want to know what Tomb stands for?

“Taking On Miniscule Belief.”

Don’t live in the Land of regret, and sail on the sea of “What could have been.”

Talk to more people. Be more consistent. Truly Train your people. Be IN the Business.

Give it ALL you have for 90 days. Quit Deceiving yourself, and Start Believing IN yourself.

And the Life in your Network Marketing business will grow beyond anything you could ever imagine.

There will never be in the Graveyard of Dreams a Network Marketing tombstone with your name on it, if you DECIDE there won’t be.

But that is  YOUR DECISION in MLM.


Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training -MLM Direct Sales Perseverence

[MLM] Persistence is kind of like water. You need it if you ever are going to get something to boil.”

Thomas Jefferson

 

Ever watch water boil?

Is boring at first, but eventually the bubbles show up, (much like a Network Marketing business) and the steam starts, and the boiling begins. But the heat had to be consistent, and never wavering.

It is the same with the heat of success.

And the heat of Winning.

And the Heat of Victory.

And the heat of a Direct Sales Fire!

The Fire of MLM Success.

If you want anything in your life to boil, and create some HOT success in your MLM Business, then you must be consistent and never wavering.

Constant heat and Constant focus.

Either you are cooking in life…

or end up cooked.

Well????

 

Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training-MLM Success Secrets- Creating a ThinkSHIFT in Network Marketing

MLM Network Marketing Training-MLM Success Secrets- Creating a ThinkSHIFT in Network Marketing

 

Shifting your MLM Success into OVERDRIVE.

Are you thinking yourself out of Success? GREAT question, as many do this day in and day out. In MLM, people play the great American past time of making excuses, and then making others rich. OUCH!

Brutal? Yep. The truth? Absolutely!

And I would rather tell you the way it REALLY is, instead of the way that everyone leads you to believe it is.

INFERNO Secret:

Life can either be a Paradise, or a Pair of Dice, which you leave to Lady Luck to throw and see what comes up.

And it all revolves around how you THINK.

Are you on a Thought Path that is leading away from Success in Network Marketing?

Are you kidding yourself about your thoughts? Are you kidding yourself about the nature of your thinking? Are you blind to what kind of thoughts you are REALLY thinking? Are you kdding yourself about your thinking, or lack of it?

Many do…everyday.        

Most people do not realize it, but you work Network Marketing Twice:   First between your ears, and then… Between your hours.

And what happens between your hours in MLM is nothing more than a photograph of what is between your ears! What you THINK, ends up being what you DO.

Network Marketing Reality.

You live life twice as well. If you don’t have it right between your ears, there will be nothing left between your hours! Only the emptiness of frustration and Doubt , and an empty feeling of regret.        

If you take a look a the word THINKING:   The first word in Thinking is THIN.

Do you have Skinny Thinking?

Do you have a poverty mindset?

Are your thoughts colored with Scarcity?    

Do your thoughts have a LACK focus?    

The last word in Thinking is KING! (THAT is ROYALTY THINKING!)

Do you have Royalty Thinking in your Network Marketing business?

Do you have the thinking that would excite God and get Him jumping off His Throne saying, “Now those thoughts are so BIG, THAT is someone I can work with?”

Which side of the word THINKING do you see yourself on?    

Here is a Brutal Question that begs to be asked:  

Up until this point in your life, what has your thinking cost you in dollars?

What has it cost your family? How long are you going to allow that to continue?

You need a ThinkSHIFT in MLM and Network Marketing. You need to SHIFT your thinking into Success Overdrive- the gear that all winner’s thoughts are locked on.

If you do Shift your Thinking, and truy understnad that you CAN and WILL succeed in life, then you can just about write any paycheck you want in Network Marketing.

Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Secrets- The Secret of Massive VALUE.

October 15, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training MLM Secrets- The Secret of Massive VALUE. 

What Value is in your MLM business?

There is ONE Word that prospects seem to be glued to when they are listening to a presentation, or even an approach about anything. It is the standard that all prospects measure anything they are looking at. And they are considering purchasing. 

The word is VALUE.

Remember this Success Formula…  

“No VALUE = No Volume.”  

Volume will RARELY if EVER precede Value, and if it does, most of the time, it will not work out long term. Value is a part of our culture, and we must show value to the prospect in our Company, Products, and Comp Plan.   No Value…No Volume baby.  

Let me ask you a question:

Would you buy a house that you saw no value in?

How about a car?

How about a thousand dollar suit?

Would you even buy a pair of shoes that you saw no value in?

  I didn’t think so…   Neither would I.

And no one is going to be recruited or buy a product that they see no value in for their life and future.

It’s ALL about Value. People want to know what’s in it for them in Network Marketing.. They want to know there is value for their lifestyle in MLM. Thye want Value in the Company, Products, and Value in YOU.  

Give the prospect REASONS and BENEFITS to enroll in your company, or buy your product. What does your products do that bring Value to a person? What does your Business have that will bring Value to a person?

What do YOU have that will bring value to working with you?    

Remember: NoValue….No Volume.  

NO Exceptions.

 

Blessings…
