MLM Network Marketing Training The Trouble with MLM Success

It’s Worth All the Trouble to Succeed, if You want Your Life to
be Trouble Free Financially.”

Doug Firebaugh

The MLM Trouble.

What kind of trouble do most MLM and Network Marketers face?

1) REJECTION.

Nope. That is not a trouble, but a building tool to build you into a more powerful person in this industry.

2) FRUSTRATION.

Nope. This is not trouble, as this is a building tool to build a more powerful determination in the MLM industry.

3) DISCOURAGEMENT.

Nope. This is not trouble, as this is a powerful tool in MLM to build your Resolve.

4) OTHER PEOPLE.

Nope. These are simply good people that are too busy accepting less in life, and trying to get you
to continue to embrace that philosophy.

5) QUITTING.

Yep. This is the only trouble in Network Marketing. People are in REAL TROUBLE when they fall pray to the Doubts and Fears of other people and their opinion.

Quitting only brings self esteem issues, and self image trouble. It brings only resentment in many cases, and also anger.

The Network Marketing Anger Trouble.

Anger is BIG TROUBLE.

And quitting is The Great American Past Time, which we all have a tendency to embrace dus to programming from others.

If you can overcome this one trouble, you are light years ahead of the MLM game, and Network Marketing curve.

If you slide back into the qutting mentality, then you will have trouble for the rest of your life, as you have fallen back into the pattern that has been keeping you down.

MLM= Mastering Life’s Movement.

And the secret to Lifes’ Movement is to KEEP MOVING forward, and never giving up!!!

EVER!

MLM Network Marketing Training Let’s Get To Know Your MLM Upline.

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training Let’s Get To Know Your MLM Upline.

 

What is an MLM Upline?

It is the “Line of folks above you” that are there to help you in your quest for success. They all make some money off of your efforts, and you need to know who they are, and what they have accomplished.

What you need to do, is send each of them and email. Contact your sponsor and get their emails and telephone numbers and send them a letter introducing yourself.

Why?

They can help you, train you, and generally help you with their experience and success.

There are some questions that I recommend asking your upline:

“What help create the success you have in your group?”

“What is the most important thing I can do right now to get my business started and why?”

“If you were me, what calls do I need to be on?”

“What made you decide to join our company and why?”

“What is the way that you keep motivated?”

“What one success secret is there to this business that has helped you the most?”

“How can I help be a part of the team and contribute?”

“Can I volunteer to do things and when?”

“What drives you to succeed?”

Become MLM VISIBLE.

These are the type of questions that an upline will appreciate..but understand:

INFERNO Secret:

The more VISIBLE you are to your upline, the more help you will get.

Make yourself known with your actions, help, and interest in what is going on…

BECOME A LEADER from the start. Don’t wait on people to call on you, or your upline to recognize you….

INFERNO Secret:

BE PROACTIVE….and them some more. Let your upline know there is a WINNER and LEADER in their downline… SHOW THEM!

Make a list of all your upline that gets paid on you and make it a priority ot stay in touch and use them for your business….

Yes…..I know….

There are some uplines that have an Over-inflated Sense of Self Importance.

If you don’t get a response from them, understand that they have “Celebrityitis” and ignore them. They have their heads up their rear and cannot really help you.

Make a decision today that you WILL BECOME An MLM LEADER, and will be part of the Leadership Team…

INFERNO Secret:

NOTHING gets the attention of your upline and the company like NEW VOLUME!

Become known for your RESULTS…that is a HUGE secret….

INFERNO SECRET:

RESULTS RULE.

Period. With your MLM upline and company.

Also ask your upline what books they are reading and what tapes they are listening to…study this business like a business….and keep learning.

WARNING:

There are some folks out there that think that they have all the answers…and if it didn’t come from them or the company, it cannot be any good.

That is a valid point to some degree as you must protect the culture of the company, and your upline should be careful of training that doesn’t stay on the company message and vision…

But a lot of the training out there is really good, and I personally have learned a lot from the trainers in the industry…

In PassionFire, we have a list of the top sites whose training ROCKS!

Look them up and visit their sites…..

Get to know your upline, and let them know who you are…BECOME VERY VISIBLE…and as your success grows you will be glad you did!

Blessings…

MLM Compensation Understanding Your MLM Compensation Plan

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Compensation StructureMLM Network Marketing Training – Understanding Your MLM Compensation Plan.

What Is Your MLM Plan?

Money.

That is what drives the MLM industry…the quest for a better life, a better future, and a better income.

Why did you join your Network Marketing company?

For something to do?

Yeah…right.

That is why 99% of all folks who enroll in MLM companies join…for a better lifestyle…and the hope of making more money is what drives the industry…

Every company has a way they pay their distributors, known as a “Compensation Plan”..or “Comp Plan”. Your company has one and that is how you are paid…by the volume you have created by the Comp Plan.

You go out, and create Volume of sales, and you get a certain percentage of the sales. Most plans focus on the sale, or movement of products and services to the marketplace, and that is what drives the wealth vehicle.

There are different types of Comp Plans, and there are many more Hybrid forms…but generally there are 5 different types, and you need to really understand the Plan that your company has.

The 5 Basic Kinds of Compensation Plans.

1) The Stairstep
2) The Unilevel
3) The Binary
4) The Breakaway
5) The Matrix

1) The Stairpstep is a simple plan that has requirements that you must meet to get up the “Stairs of Success”…each stairstep is a promotion based on Volume usually, and each promotion you make more money. Usually you must qualify each month for the rank you obtain to get paid at that rank. And the stairstep usually has a number of levels it pays down to.

2) The Unilevel is a simple “Number of levels” that the company will pay you, and usually there is no promotion or rank. You make money by getting a certain override off of the volume, and usually there is a requirement of volume to qualify for a check.

3) The Binary.

The Binary is an interesting design for a Comp Plan. It usually has 2 “legs” that you can have “Business centers” in, and you have a volume requirement to get paid on each leg. There is what is called “balance” in the Binary…you must balance the volume form each leg to make sure you don’t have a runaway leg…one leg explodes, while the other one sits idle…you must balance the two, and you usually can override the same volume a number of times with different business centers.

4) The Breakaway.

This plan has become somewhat unpopular in the MLM industry, as you lose the business you build, once it gets to a certain level of success, and it “breaks away” to no longer be a part of what you get paid on. It usually is a stairstep type of Plan, but I have seen it in others as well.

5) The Matrix

The matrix is a computer driven plan that people are put into your group by computer, and they go in the next available slot. Usually this plan is combined with some form of a Binary, and it does work well if there are a lot of people that are recruited. When you recruit someone, the computer searches down for the next open slot, and positions them there. There are some plans that allow you to override the computer’s selection if you want them to go a particular place in your downline.

Don’t Complicate the MLM Comp Plan.

Ok…so now you must see what kind of plan you have…see your upline if you have any questions at all, and get familiar with the plan you have and how it works.

INFERNO Secret:

DO NOT get too complicated on telling the plan to someone. Keep it simple and make sure they understand that they CAN MAKE MONEY with it…as that is their greatest concern.

Generally, when you talk about a Comp Plan, you will want to mention 4 general areas about it that many people will want to know about….

1) The First area is Retail Profit.

You must show the prospect that they can earn a retail profit with your products and services…usually it about 50%…

2) The Second Area is Team Overrides.

This is where, just like a Real Estate broker, or Insurance Broker, you can develop a team of Reps and help them become successful, and get paid a certain % of override off of them, just like the Real Estate and Insurance Brokers do.,,,,,

You are sort of a “Master Broker” for your company, and help others do the same thing. This is where most people have trouble with MLM….they don’t understand that what we do is just like a Real Estate or Insurance Broker…only better.

3) The Third Area is Leadership Bonuses.

This is where you help develop Successful leaders in your group, and you get an additional bonus or override form your group….you get rewarded by helping others develop their Leadership….the most fair compensation in the world.

4) The Fourth Area are Rewards…like trips and cars.

This area is a favorite among Network Marketers…..once you have reached a level of success, many companies will give you an additional car payment money, and also take you on trips that you can qualify for…a great incentive to work!!!

Be sure you understand the components of your Comp Plan…this was just a VERY General Overview, and that is all.

Again…..KEEP THE PLAN SIMPLE.

The More Simple you keep it, the more powerful it becomes in your MLM Business.

Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training – Lets Focus In on What Your MLM Products Are…

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training – Lets Focus In on What Your MLM Products Are…

 

The Product Focused MLM Company.

You must understand this next statement:

The successful network marketing company is “Product Focused and Business Driven…”

What does that mean?

It means that your company must always be products and services focused, but driven by the business opportunity. And your products and services must be the “anchor” of your MLM business.

If you have bad products…so goes your business…you MUST be sure your company has QUALITY Products! QUALITY creates part of the VALUE in the prospect’s mind!

Your products create the value to the consumer, and you must be able to talk intelligently about what your are offering to them. But here is a warning:

Do Not get too detailed about your products and services…you see, people really don’t care, for the most part, about the ingredients or technical aspects of your products and services…

INFERNO Secret:

Most people have one question about your products and services…”How are they going to improve my life..and do they really work?”

Your job is to educate, NOT SELL, the customer on the merits and value of your product and service line. If you educate them, and you will learn later in TrainingFire how to do that, you will find them much more open to trying them….

What type of products and services does your company provide you? You must know what we at PassionFire call:

The “Rules of MLM Product Marketing…”

There are 4 of them:

1) “The Rule of Details..”

Don’t get lost in the details of your products and services…get lost in the VALUE that they bring to the customers life. Learn about what you are marketing, but then blend that in with how it will help CHANGE their life..(CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!)

2) “The Rule of How to…”

You must understand how your products and services do work, but only to the point of being able to talk intelligently about them. Don’t overwhelm the prospect with your knowledge…but EXCITEMENT about the products.

3) “The Rule of Focus…”

Keep your focus on the MAIN product and services….if there are a LOT of them, keep your focus on the ones that are the main ones, and learn about them, and master what you need to talk about them. The others, you need to be aware of, but keep your focus on the MAIN ones, and know how to talk about them.

4) “The Rule of Value…”

You will never market any products to anyone if they don’t see VALUE in what your products. Know what the value is to the consumer with your products, and know, when it is prudent, the overview details of the products to enhance the value of your products.

Ok.

The Types of MLM Products.

What kind of products and services are there out there?

Basically 2:

1) Tangible

2) Intangible.

Tangible……

These are the products you can TOUCH, SEE, SMELL, and TASTE. They are the ones you can hold in your hands….like make up, vitamins, diet powders, cleaning solutions, part favors, toys, and the list goes on….

And the Tangibles are the biggest portion of the MLM industry…especially the supplement portion…because most people like to market what they can TOUCH and FEEL.

Intangibles……

Intangibles are the products and services you CANNOT touch, see, and feel. They are the services like Internet services, Legal Services, Tax services, Life Insurance services, and similar types of products and services. It is a very fast growing part of the MLM industry.

These products you need a little more detail knowledge about them as to show the customer they can provide VALUE to their life. And the understanding of HOW they work will provide some good conversation with your prospects on the benefits of owning your services.

You need to ask yourself some questions about your MLM products…

“What is my favorite product and why?”

“How do my products benefit people and change their life?”

“What products does the company sell the most of?”

“What is the average price of each product?”

“What has some great testimonials about your products?”

“”How large is the market for your products and services?”

“Who is your competition?”

“Why would somebody want your products?”

“What products seem to have the most SIZZLE about them?”

Most MLM companies have multiple products, and the one you like the most, you will be the most PASSIONATE about, and will talk about the most.

INFERNO Secret:

The product you have the most PASSION about, you will create the most value for.

That is what we call the “Passion-Value” Rule. Know what you are the most passionate about, and you will have the most “Emotional Attachment” to, and that would be the product you will be most likely to talk about the most.

Know your products ands services line…understand the overview of them, and focus on the MAIN ones, and keep your focus on those for the most part. Have and understanding of the other products and services, but usually, 80% of your volume will be done by 20% of the products….keep that in mind in your MLM Network Marketing Business.

MLM Network Marketing Training Let’s Take a Look at Your MLM Company

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training Let’s Take a Look at Your MLM Company

 

The MLM View of Your Company.

OK.

You need to understand that you must be sold on 4 things in this industry:

1) The Company

2) The Products

3) Compensation Plan.

4) YOU.

This Module we are going to take a look at your company and what you need to know about it to talk about it, and feel comfortable about it. There are certain things that you need to know about it that will become part of your presentation.

People will want to know that you represent a good, solid, stable company. They will want to know about certain issues and areas about the company, and you need to cover them.

What are You Looking for in Network Marketing?

Put yourself in their place

If you were looking to join a Network Marketing company, what would you look for?

What would be important to you?

Basically, there are 5 areas that you need to look at in order to know about a company.
And most people will want to know about these areas.

What are they?

1) The Management.

Who is the CEO and Founder of your company?

What is the story behind the founding of the company?

What kind of experience and reputation do they have to tell about?

What makes them unique and different than all the rest?

Do they have any special notoriety that is worth telling people about?

2) The Finances.

What does your MLM company look like on the balance sheet?

Are they debt free?

Do they have backers?

Do they run a tight ship at home office?

Do they pay their checks on time?(GREAT question)

3) The Home Office

Where is the Home Office?

How many employees do they have?

Do they have their own building?

Are they totally computerized?

4) The Shipping Department.

Do they have their shipping department in house or at another location?

Do they have a toll free line?

Do they have a money back guarantee?

Do they ship the products out on time?

What is their return ratio?

The MLM Connection Department.

5) The Distributor Services Department.

Do they have a DS Dept?

How friendly are they?

Do they know that they are doing?

Who heads it up?

How quickly do they respond?

These are some of the questions you need to know about your company.

The more that you know about your company, the better you will feel about them.

INFERNO Secret:

Take as tour of your home office the first chance you can. Meet the people in the different departments.
‘
This will give you a much better understanding of what your MLM Corporate office is about, and who you talk to when you call, and it will give you a much better presentation about your company.

Your MLM Company is very important. Know the basics of it, and be proud that you are associated with them.

How Do I Get My MLM Home Business On the Internet?

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment
How To Get Your MLM Business On The Internet

How To Get Your MLM Business On The Internet

MLM Network Marketing Training-How Do I Get My MLM Business On the Internet?

The MLM Website Question.

In fact, many people are even asking the question whether they should have a website. Whether you are a consultant, florist, designer, builder, architect or a doctor, consider the many advantages a website provides:

1. Make money – Set up an on-line store or get paid for advertising from other companies

2. Save money on advertising – Instead of paying for large ads, simply advertise your website

3. Be flexible in your message – Change the content as your business changes. No need to re-print expensive brochures.

4. Exposure to new customers – You will reach more local clients as well as interstate and global markets

5. Having more professional image – Keep up with the times and your competitors

6. Save time – Don’t spend hours on the phone, direct customers to your website

7. Keep your business open 24/7 – Provide customers information when THEY need it. If you don’t, someone else will.

So what does it really take to get your website set up?

The Network Marketing Website Secrets.

Step 1 – Register Your Domain Name OR Not.

The big question is whether you need to register a domain name or not. The simple answer is NO, but a better answer is YES it is a good idea.

What Is a Domain Name?

The purpose of a domain name is similar to that of a street address or telephone number. The domain name directs customers to you on the Internet. The domain by itself is not your email or web address. The domain does form the base from which these addresses are derived.

For example:
Company Name: Websites 4 Small Business
Domain Name: web4business.com.au
Web Address: http://www.web4business.com.au
Email Address: sales@…

Do I Need to Register a Domain Name to Have a Website?

NO, you don’t need to have your own domain name. Your website can be created and hosted without it. Your website address will look something like this:

http://www.web4business.com.au/JBCleaning
OR
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~JBCleaning

The only advantage of not registering a domain name is that you will save yourself A$70 per year (it costs approx A$140 for 2 years to register a ‘.com.au’ domain name).

The Disadvantages of NOT Having Your MLM Domain Name Include:

1. If you decide to change your Webhosting company or if that company goes out of business, you will lose your website address. Your website can be transferred to a new company, but your address will change. And that means re-printing stationery and re-doing all your advertising, notifying all your customers etc.

2. Website addresses that contain information other than your company name are long and hard to remember and do not appear as professional. Compare these two and see which one you are more likely to remember:

http://www.ozemail.com.au/~JBCleaning
OR
http://www.JBCleaning.com.au

So it is a good idea to register an MLM website domain name, even if it is just to protect yourself for the future. Say for example, your business name is JB Cleaning and you decide not to register your domain name for now.

Along comes Joe Bloggs who opens his own cleaning business and registers JBCleaning.com.au domain name. After a year you decide you want to have your own domain name, but since Joe Bloggs already owns it, you won’t be able to register it. Not to mention your customers who know your business as JB Cleaning may visit his website, thinking it’s your web address and instead hire Joe Bloggs Cleaning.

Step 2 – Plan your MLM website.

Planning Your Website Is a Two Part Process:

(a) Decide on the website design (colour schemes, buttons, special effects etc). This is your website designer’s job. However, you may have a preference for a certain colour or look. To help you choose a design, you may wish to check out other people’s websites or work with your web designer’s pre-set templates.

(b) The content. There are many items you may wish to include on your website. The most common ones include:

1 Product/Service Details
2. Contact Information
3. Pricing
4. Testimonials
5. Frequently Asked Questions
6. Response Form, such as “Join Mailing List”
7. On-line Magazine or Newsletter
8. Resources & Articles
9. Guarantee
10. Survey
11. Events Calender
12. Search My Website Form
13. Refund Policy
14. Privacy Policy
15. About Us Information
16. Site Map
17. Copyright information
18. Useful Links
19. Media Information
20. On-line store
21. News
22. Directions to Your Bricks & Mortar Premises

Step 3 – Choose a Web Hosting Company.

What is a Web hosting Company?

A Web host is a company that provides server space for your Network Marketing website. You can think of a web host as a commercial building. The web host provides space for your website just as a commercial building provides space for your shop or office. You can build your own building and you can host your own website, but because of the cost and expertise required it is easier to rent the space. We recommend taking a look at these cheap dedicated servers that can help your business get organized.

Which Company Should I Choose?

Web hosting companies are not created equal so you need to take a number of things into account when selecting one. A proven track record, experience and reliability form the foundation of any successful business partnership.

The MLM Website Issues.

Some of the issues you should consider when choosing a webhosting company include:

1. Support – Does it provide comprehensive Technical Support – 24 hours a day, seven days a week?
2. Reliability – Does it have multiple large-scale links to the internet to provide a fail-safe path to your customers from anywhere in the world?
3. Security – Does it have a robust security system that minimises risk of web site intrusion?
4. State-of-the-art – Does the company utilises leading edge technology and is supported by a large-scale uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system.
5. Scalability – Does the product range and services offered allow your business to grow without impediment by making it easy to upgrade and add components to existing product levels.

Step 4 – Getting People to Your Site.

The marketing of your website is important if you want to draw visitors to your site. If you don’t promote your website no-one will ever see it. There are a number of different ways of advertising your website. The best strategy is one, which integrates your existing promotion methods with your website.

1. Office Stationery – Including your web address and email address on your stationery is probably the easiest way to draw attention to your site. It’s cost effective and gets your Internet presence out there in the market place.

2. Business Cards – When printing business cards you should include the individual’s email address and main address of your website.

3. Radio Advertising
Radio Advertising should include your web address. Don’t include the http://, try “Visit us on the internet at w-w-w-dot-qikphone-dot-com-dot-au”. If your budget is limited, you may wish to consider community radios.

4. Email and Mail-Outs
Let your current customers know the details of your website. You can either send them an email or a letter/postcard. Keep your website’s content up-to-date and they will keep coming back!

5. Print Media
Print advertising should include a generic email address for the company and include your website address. Normally positioned at the bottom right or bottom centre of your advertisement.

6. Search Engines & Directories
People looking for your website who don’t know the URL are most likely to use an on-line search engine to look for your organisation or the kind of products and services you offer. There are over 300 major search engines and directories, but you should concentrate on the larger, more commonly used ones. These include: Google, Yahoo, Altavista, Anzwers, Inktomi, Infoseek, Lycos, Excite, HotBot, MSN, Dogpile, AllTheWeb etc.

7. Links from other MLM websites
A good way to attract visitors to your site is through the use of hyperlinks placed on other sites. If you know of another site which has a list of links and you think your website would be a good addition, let the website owner know. You might also offer to provide a link from your site back to the other site. This will encourage the webmaster to include your site. You should also seek out partners for trading links including vendors, suppliers and providers of complimentary products.

8. Link Exchange
Another way to getting a link is through a system called Link Exchange, a free public service designed to help websites advertise each other. With Link Exchange, you agree to display advertising banners for other Link Exchange members and they agree to display banners for you. The System is automatic, you simply add a piece of HTML code to your web page and Link Exchange will display an advertisement for another website. The disadvantage with Link Exchange is that you don’t get any control as to where your banner ad appears or the type of banner ads that will appear on your website. It is not possible to guarantee that a competitor of yours may have their banner ad displayed on your site.

9. Paid Banner Advertising/Affiliate Marketing Programs
Various sites give you the opportunity to purchase banner advertising on their site. Some sites will charge you a flat monthly fee while other sites will charge you based on the number of people who see your ad.

Step 5 – Monitor Your Site’s Statistics
Your MLM website’s statistics should show who visits your website, where in the world they come from, how they are finding your site and what pages are being viewed. Knowing your customers is the first step in effective marketing. Most webhosting companies will provide access to this information free of charge.

Step 6 – Maintaining Your MLM Website

It is important to update your website regularly to keep your customers interested. One of the great advantages of having a website is that you can change its content virtually overnight at minimal cost (unlike re-printing brochures and flyers).

This is just a brief overview of the process involved in getting your website up and running. In future articles we will cover each step in more detail.

MLM Network Marketing Training-The Secret Power of MLM Goal Setting

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training-The Secret Power of MLM Goal Setting

Getting Started in MLM Goal Setting.

Figuring out your MLM goals is probably one of the most important and one of the most overlooked steps for creative professionals starting their business. Ideally you should put together a business plan. However, I have yet to meet a creative professional (including myself) who has one. (In fact, if you do have a Network Marketing business plan, please contact me. I’d love to chat with you about it.) Second best is getting your goals down on paper. Here are some things to include.

* Your personal mission statement. What do you want to accomplish in your life? Not just as a creative professional, artist or writer, but as a person. Knowing your mission will make organizing your time much easier.

* Your creative or artistic goals — both long-term and short- term. What do you want to accomplish in three months? Six months? This year? Five years from now?

* Your financial goals –– both long-term and short-term. Don’t forget to write down how much money you want to make.

* Your plans for your MLM business — both long-term and short-term. Break it down the same as your creative or artistic goals — three months, six months, one year and five years. Include a marketing plan as well. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just figure out who your target market is, where your target market is (i.e., local, regional, specific cities or national), and how you’re going to reach your target market.

* Action steps for each goal, including the marketing plan. Break each goal into manageable steps, number each step and add a completion date. Make a separate copy of this and put it where you can incorporate these action steps into your daily activities.

The MLM Goal Setting Place.

Don’t rush this process. In fact, you should make it a treat for yourself. Go on an MLM retreat. Try and get away for at least a day if at all possible (a couple of days would be better yet). Go somewhere where you won’t be interrupted (and that includes the cell phone). Allow yourself some quiet time to really think. If it helps, do some meditating or journaling during this time.

Don’t worry about it being perfect either. This is a working document. Ideally you should review it every six months or a year and see where you are and what’s changed.

Now, when I first started my business five years ago, I hadn’t planned anything or written anything down.

This was a mistake.

Sure I had some vague notions in my head of where I wanted my business and my writing to go, but by not committing anything to paper, I didn’t end up there. My first three years of my business I was busy and making money, but I wasn’t getting anywhere near the vague notions dancing around in my head. Even more amazing, I couldn’t figure out why.

So two years ago, I started a regular practice of writing down my goals and plan (much like the above). I do it twice a year, and you wouldn’t believe the difference. Sure, my plans are far bigger than what I actually accomplish, and I’ve also found myself modifying and changing my action steps (the goals remain pretty constant, but how I attain those goals does change).

Best yet, I’m now seeing results. I’m accomplishing my goals.

Network Marketing Goals Take Time.

Take the time to go through this process. The rewards are worth it.

Creativity Exercise — Goal setting and creativity

If every year you find yourself setting goals and never making ANY strides toward reaching them, perhaps it’s time to ask yourself why. Could it be they aren’t YOUR goals but someone else’s goals for you?

I don’t care what the goal is — stopping smoking, losing weight, starting an online business, writing that novel — there’s a reason it keeps climbing up, then falling off the goal list. And until you figure out WHY that MLM goal is stuck in the never-never land of goal setting, you’ll never actually pull it into reality.

Is it because you don’t know where to start? Or is the project so big you’re afraid to start? Or you’re stuck somewhere in the middle and don’t know what to do next?

Or is it because you really don’t want to do it?

Okay, I’m probably dredging up all sorts of demons now, but truly, those demons need to be exorcised or they’re constantly going to be standing between you and your goal.

What I suggest is to take some quiet time and do a little soul searching. Journaling and meditation are both excellent ways of opening up a dialogue between you and your muse. Your muse is an excellent resource for you. If you ask, it will tell you which goals really matter and really don’t matter to you.

And, if it turns out that goal is something you don’t want to do? Then stop putting it on your goal list. I mean it. Quit making yourself feel like a failure by constantly sticking it on that list.

The Psychology of MLM Goals.

What if the goal is something like quitting smoking? Something you know you have to do because it’s hurting your health? Try this instead. Rather than making it your goal to quit smoking, make it your goal to figure out why you don’t want to quit. And what you can do to help yourself become committed to quitting.

Whatever you do, don’t make turn this exercise into a license to beat yourself up. Be nice to yourself. You’re doing this to help, not hurt, yourself.

MLM Network Marketing Training- The Secrets of Leadership in Sales

October 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment

MLM Network Marketing Training- The Secrets of Leadership in Sales

To paraphrase management guru Peter Drucker, a leader is someone who not only does things right, but who also does the right things, while helping others do the same. The same holds true in MLM sales: how better to serve your clients than to really know and understand what they do, and to truly help them do it better?

The Secrets of MLM Sales.

With that in mind, here are Mr. Hill’s eleven secrets to leadership, as they apply to MLM leadership in sales:

1. “Unwavering Courage”: Selling successfully requires courage; taking a risk where the odds may seem stacked against you; courage to make that extra call, to deal with the tough client or prospect, and to not let anything deter you. As Hill says, courage is “based upon knowledge of self and one’s occupation.

2. “Self-Control”: The ability to set a course for yourself and take disciplined action each day is a key attribute of all successful salespeople.

3. “A keen sense of justice”: Knowing right from wrong – understanding what is fair and just – allows you to make, wise informed decisions.

4. “Definiteness of decision”: Deciding on what you want to achieve, and then doing whatever it takes to get there, even in the face of obstacles and setbacks, is crucial to your success. For those who don’t quite make it, Network Marketing failure can usually be traced back to a lack of decisiveness about what they really want.

5. “Definiteness of plans”: In Hill’s words, “the successful leader must plan his work, and work his plan. Truer words were never spoken when it comes to network marketing selling. Plan your time, and then take action on your plan each and every day.

6. “The habit of doing more than paid for”: Want to sell more? Go the extra mile for your clients. Want to get the respect, admiration, and cooperation from your internal “clients” – the people you need to rely on to implement or help you close sales? Go the distance for them as well.

The Network Marketing Personality

7. “A pleasing personality”: Is selling a popularity contest? No, but would you buy something from someone who was nasty and rude?

8. “Sympathy and understanding:” Selling is about understanding what people DO, and then helping them do it better. Plain and simple.

9. “Mastery of detail”: Ah, yes… The devil, as they say, is in the details. Ever work really hard to close a sale, only to have it fall apart because of some small detail that falls through the cracks? What may seem like a small detail to you can be a crucial one, maybe even a deal-breaker, to your prospect, customer, or client.

10. “Willingness to assume full responsibility”: No matter how much customer support your company provides, you are the prime representative of your organization. If you try to pass the buck to someone else, you lose respect and credibility. “But it really wasn’t my fault that the shipment was delayed in customs and then the delivery truck was attacked a pack of wild dogs…” Doesn’t matter; accept the responsibility for any problem and all details, and then do whatever needs to be done to make things right. Your MLM clients need to know that you are their advocate.

11. “Cooperation”: You can’t do it alone. MLM Sales is a collaborative effort. Your prospects need to collaborate with you; you need the cooperation and assistance of others both inside and outside your organization to make things happen. The best salespeople are those who can work well with others, and with whom other people want to work.

Think about these eleven areas of leadership, and ask yourself how you do on each of these items. Find areas where you can make improvements and chart your course to work on improving what you do each day; incremental MLM improvements each day become exponential over time.
