MLM Network Marketing Training-MLM Training for the Holidays-Twas the Night before Network Nick!

by Doug Firebaugh

Network Marketing during the holidays has always been a little tough, unless you are Network Nick and have a Network Nick mind set! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all in the MLM Network Marketing Industry!

Twas the night before Christmas, all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, except me clicking my mouse,
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
With all my mlm applications to be sent laying there..

The children were all nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of mlm millions danced in my head,
and mamma and her kercheif and I in my “never quit” cap
had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my magnet mattress to see what’s the matter
Away to the window i flew like a flash,
Stumbled over my mlm new dealer kit and threw up the sash

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
gave a diamond bright quality to the objects below
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a miniature sleigh and and a downline of reindeer

With a little ol driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment in must be Network Nick…
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
and he motivated them like crazy calling them by name

Now Dasher, Now Dancer, Now prancer, now Vixen,
On Comet, and Cupid, Start 30 day blitzing!
To the top of the pay plan! To the top of it all!
now dash away dash away! dash away all!

As dry leaves that before a wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle it increases the drive,
So up to the house top the coursers they flew,
with the sleigh full of product, and Network Nick too!

And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof,
Recruit Recruit Recruit! and the sound of each hoof
As I drew in my hand, was turning around,
down the chimney Nework Nick came with a bound

He was dressed all in fur, like all the mlm diamonds do,
and his suit was Versace,with boots brand new,
A bundle of products and apps on his back,
and he looked at me as he opened his sack…

His eyes how they twinkled as if he took out his apps,
His cheeks were like rubies his lips how they flapped
His droll little mouth was speaking of MLM,
and the beard he had looked distinguished on him..

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
as he took out a board and started talking to me,
Circles,and more Circles he drew as he was telling,
and when he laughed he shook like a bowl full of jelly.

He wanted me to join santaclause.com,
and be one of his frontline, to be number one.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
soon I was signing my name in red.

He spoke not a word, for he knew how it worked,
and when I signed the application away it was jerked
and laying his finger aside of his nose,
he gave me my dealer kit, and up the chimney he rose

He sprang to his sleigh to his downline gave a shout
and away they all flew for another prospects house,
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of site…
Duplicate Duplicate! Morning-noon- and night!!!

Merry Christmas from Net-Work Nick for all MLM and Network Marketing professionals!

 

 

Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training- Don’t Talk to Strangers! Good or Bad Advice?”

by Doug Firebaugh

MLM Advice from NON MLM People.

In our life growing up, we were taught a lesson that was very good advice for children. “Don’t talk to strangers!” That is great advice and wise counsel for kids in today’s world. I even taught my daughter that when she was a toddler. And I will admit, it was a concern of mine with all the meaness and trouble in the world today.

“Don’t talk to strangers!” is still good advice for network marketers as well, if you want to remain a baby in the mlm industry. People will tell you that you are not to talk to strangers as they will reject you.

God forbid.

There are many different philosophies in the MLM industry today, and many are good and some are not so good. You need to fin what works for you. But the one thing that will not change is the Truth, and all that comes with it. The Truth is, talking to strangers can be one of the best things you could do for your business. Anyone who tells you different does not understand what it takes to Succeed in this mlm business.

I have always taught one thing about people that you do not know, better known as the Cold market:

Strangers are simply friends that you have not met yet. Period.

The benefits to talking to people you do not know are enormous, unless someone is trying to sell you the latest and greatest tape of the month CD, website, or DVD telling you not to. Nothing wrong with that. There are some great trainers out there. But you have to ask, what are their intentions… to guide you to Success or something else?

What are those benefits?

1) Talking to Strangers Forces You to Grow.

Personal development is everything in life, and network marketing. It is what keeps your check growing, and your Success growing. And it is what guarantees you not being the same person you are this year, next year. Your income will always grow as you do. Yes, talking to people you do not know to sell them something or recruit them may be a little uncomfortable, but don’t talk to them for that reason.

Talk to them to see simply get to know them as a friend, as you do not know evn if MLM will be for them or not. It may not be! But what have you lost by talking to them? Nothing. And you could gain a new friend that could help you find someone who MLM is for.

Talking to strangers grows you on the inside, and helps build within you better people skills and communication skills in network marketing. It grows your leadership, and also your recruiting skills. And most importantly, it grows you to a new level of confidence and knowing you can Succeed in this business.

2) Talking to Strangers Extends Your Reach.

The single most valuable prospecting reason to talk to people you have never met is that it EXTENDS YOUR REACH in the marketplace.

There are about 270 million people in the US alone, and most people today, if you are 25 years or older, know about 1000 folks.

So what that says to the network marketer, is that there are about 249,999,000 people to go for you to talk to. You reach in the marketplace needs to be extended daily. THAT IS PART OF ANY BUSINESS PLAN. It is part of network marketing. And here is the great news…

Everybody that you do not know, knows a person that could EXPLODE your mlm business! What is wrong with finding them?

3) Talking to Strangers develops new Relationships.

The secret to Successful leadership in network marketing is RELATIONSHIPS. And some of the multi million dollar producers in our group were people we did not know, but did meet, and they went on to become some of my greatest friends and still are today. One “stranger” I met by accident ended up producing 10 million in volume. And it became and still is a great relationship as well as friendship. If I had not been blessed to meet him and talk to him, because I did not know him, my life would have not been enriched like it has been from knowing him.

If you are looking to develop new relationships that will last a lifetime, many folks that you will meet over the course of your career will be those people.

4) Talking to Strangers is a myth. There are no strangers. It depends on your perspective.

I do not look at people I do not know as “strange.” They simply are friends that I have not connected with. Are they interested in the things that I am? Who knows? Many will not be.

But if you truly understand the driving force behind MLM, you will never meet a stranger. Only people who are after something from someone with their own selfish agenda meets strangers. People who are in the life changing business and are what we call “Transformation Specialists,”(TM) are interested in people that they can help, not be concerned that they do know them.

My advice is simply this:

If you want to remain a baby in this MLM business, then don’t talk to strangers. SIMPLE AND PLAIN.

But if you desire to grow beyond the average, succeed beyond the average, get paid beyond the average, lead beyond the average, communicate beyond the average, make a difference beyond the average, and have a lifestyle beyond the average, then TALK TO STRANGERS.

It’s your call. But speaking from experience, if you don’t talk to strangers, you will end up limiting and restricting your Success massively in MLM and Network Marketing.

MLM Network Marketing Training-

The Amazing Power of The Dream in MLM

by Doug Firebaugh

 

“What do you mean I have to Start Dreaming?”

After 20 years in this industry, I have come to know that the foundation of your MLM Success is going to be the dreams that you want to bring to life in your future. Most people, even many of your friends, and family, do not dream like they used to, because we all have been programmed that “dreamers are not realists.”

Oh yeah? Who sold you on THAT?

We encourage you to dream again.

Why?

Do you know what happens when you DREAM?

You “Dare (to) Reach Extraordinary Altitudes (&) Milestones.”

That is what your company is about… helping people to:

1) DARE. Dare to become someone. Dare to go beyond where your friends are. Dare to prove everybody else wrong, who says that you cannot succeed in Network Marketing!

2) REACH. Stretch every part of your mind, heart, and soul, and reach for what you want in life, not what someone else wants to give you after they take their part.

3) EXTRAORDINARY. Dare to reach for the Extraordinary Life! Walk in the Extraordinary! Think Extraordinary! Become Extraordinary! Live Extraordinary! Grow Extraordinary!

4) ALTITUDES. You MUST soar higher in life than you ever have with your dream! The higher the Altitude, the more Magnetic the Pull of your Dream to you and the world!

5) MILESTONES. Reach for Extraordinary, Life Changing Milestones! Most people do not ever plan on hitting Extraordinary Milestones in their life let alone MLM. And because of that, they end up getting Millstones of Mediocrity hung around the neck of their future, dragging frustration and doubt all through their life.

Dreaming also is the basis for the WHY!

WHY are you doing MLM anyway?

“WHY” stands for “What Has You?”

Inferno Secret:

Whatever has your heart, focus, passion, dreams, and desires, is your WHY.

It could be your children, your family, yourself, your church or faith, or even making a difference in other’s lives, or all of the above. Your “WHY” is the driving force behind your business, and your dreams.

What Dream has your heart for your family and future?

Dreaming is simply the Art of Painting a VIVID Picture on the canvas in your mind, and letting that become the MASTERPIECE of Change in your life and Network Marketing business.

Here are some thought provoking questions:

“If money were not an object…what would your life be like? Describe it!”

Think about this, and complete it.

What would your PERFECT DAY be like?

 

Next, complete the list below:

The 10 Things I would like my company to bring into my life that currently doesn’t exist:

(This could include a New House, New Cars, Vacations, College Money, New Wardrobe, Charity and Church Giving, Private Schools, Boats, Lake Place, etc).

1) ____________________________________________
2) ____________________________________________
3) ____________________________________________
4) ____________________________________________
5) ____________________________________________
6) ____________________________________________
7) ____________________________________________
8) ____________________________________________
9) ____________________________________________
10) ____________________________________________
11) ____________________________________________
12) _____________________________________________

WHY I want these things is simple: (HOW would your life change for the better.)

Turn your “DreamLight” on… dust off your dream machine in your Network Marketing business, and crank it up, and let that DreamLight shine on your future once more.

Your Dreams CAN and WILL come true… but first the Light of Hope and Possibility must shine in your heart! And then you shine that light on your friends and family and get them dreaming with you! THAT is Power in MLM and Network Marketing!

 

Blessings…

MLM Network Marketing Training– Are You Taking Action or are Actions Taking You in MLM?

by Doug Firebaugh

In Network Marketing, I think you would agree, that most people will take some form of action in Network Marketing. Most always do, even if they are weak actions that produce little. They will “give it a shot” in MLM and see what happens.

They will take an action for prospecting, contacting, presenting, following up and getting the decision. These of course are the actions that drive new business. And because of the lack of results, many will end up being frustrated, discouraged, and eventually walking away mad at the industry and start a smear campaign to justify their failure.

They will blame MLM for their failure, and go about making Network Marketing the demon of their life. All you have to do is do a search on any search engine and you will see what I mean. There are many of the “survivor” sites that are excuse laden, and promote all the usual “failure” research that justify why Network Marketing is a scam.

And I will say this in their defense…some people out there in network marketing should not be in the business, as they do not do this business correctly. But you will find that those types of people in all businesses and industries, especially the entrepreneur oriented businesses like real estate, stocks and bonds, insurance, franchises, and even direct sales.

Even Corporate America is not immune to bad business tactics.

Remember ENRON?

Many folks who do leave network marketing wonder what they did wrong. What they did incorrectly. What they did that did not work. What they did that failed.

The answer is not really in what you did, but more in what you did not do. And it has really little to do with your ACTIONS that YOU TAKE in MLM and Network Marketing.

Let me explain.

There are 2 types of actions in MLM.

1) The actions YOU TAKE.

2) The actions THAT TAKE YOU.

What do I mean? Actions YOU TAKE are the ones that catalyze the response and results, and create the paycheck. They are what you do to build this business as listed above.

Actions that TAKE YOU are actions on the inside of your heart and mind with the emotions and the psychology contained within them. Actions THAT TAKE YOU are:

Believing.

Focusing.

Discipline.

Determination.

Refusing to fail.

Seeing the Vision.

Expecting Success.

Anticipating Wealth.

Understanding Reality.

Reaching for what you want.

Knowing you will Succeed.

These actions “take you” to a new level of Power in you, and whole new level of IMPACT in the marketplace. They take you to a new perception of what you can do, and what you can accomplish. They take you to a whole new realm of expectation of results, and MLM Success.

And most importantly, they take the prospect to a whole new perception of what is possible working with you, as they “feel” that you are going somewhere and taking people with you. They are drawn towards you to know more about what you are doing, and where you are going.

All these “take you” actions are catalyzed by one thing:

DECISION.

Once a decision is made in the heart to succeed in network marketing, these “take you” psychological actions kick in, and then, the actions YOU TAKE in the marketplace are:

TWICE AS POWERFUL.

TWICE AS SUCCESSFUL.

TWICE AS EASY.

Why?

These actions now have TWICE THE IMPACT. Decision gives any action you take twice the impact on the prospect.

How do you know when you have made a decision?

Simple.

No other option is possible. Period. No exceptions.

So, if you are taking action in network marketing, and want to massively Succeed, then make a Decision to create massive Success and that will alter your life and destiny, and everything you do in network marketing and mlm.

Then the “ACTIONS THAT TAKE YOU” will start to be empowered and catalyzed, and the next thing you know, you will be starting a journey of Massive Achievement in MLM and Network Marketing.

MLM Network Marketing Training-

The Top 10 MLM Tools You will use in Network Marketing

by Doug Firebaugh

 

We went over the reasons for using tools in an earlier article, and this mlm training module will go over the 10 network marketing tools that you will be using hopefully on a regular basis.

I have found over the years that the distributors who use the mlm tools regularly and with mastery, have larger and more powerful organizations for the most part.

Do you want a powerful group and a large number of people? Than you need to learn the 10 tools and then choose 3 or 4 of them and master them, but you must learn to be equipped to use what we at PassionFire call the “Master Tool”–which is number one:

1)MLM Tools -The Telephone.

The telephone is the MLM Master tool that all millionaires in this business use…they not only have mastered the use of the phone, but teach their people to do the same thing.

The telephone is the most time EFFECTIVE tool there is.

INFERNO Secret:

The telephone will help you master your time and business, if you master it.

Many people have “phone-phobia,”and I am amazed that they can talk to anyone on the phone about most anything, but when it comes to this network marketing business, they freeze up and many cannot do it.

You need to find some good training for the phone, talk to your sponsor and see what he/she recommends…and PassionFire will have several modules on intense telephony…(training how to master the phone).

2)MLM Tools-The Voice Mail

IN MLM, You need to set up a Voice mail system and utilize it to catch and retrieve messages that you would have missed.

If you are doing this business right, than you will need a VM system to stay on top of your business. The telephone company has one available, and also check with your company to see if they have a corporate sponsored system that you can use as many mlm companies do, and I highly encourage companies to do so.

Put a short message on you VM, and make it no longer than a minute. Mmany people leave the name of their company, many don’t, I never did, but do what you think is best for you and your group.

Also, make sure you can retrieve VM messages from out of town…this will become Important once your group starts to grow….

3)MLM Tools-Three Way Calling.

This is the SECOND MASTER Tool. This is almost as important as the telephone. What is 3 way calling?

It is put on your phone by the phone company, and it allows you to call someone, put them on hold, dial another number, than click the first call you made over, and you have 3 people on the line at once! You, your first call, and your second call, like a “Mini Conference Call.”

This allows you to introduce your sponsor to your warm market over the phone and let someone who is more experienced than you to talk to your folks, and you learn at the same time.

You will learn how to do HOT 3 ways with PassionFire, and there will be several trainings you can read on how to master the 3 way.

By the way, 3 way calling is one of the most wrongly used tools in MLM, and you will learn how to use right and create a magnetic phone call.

4)MLM Tools- Audios.

Audios, or cassettes and CDs, are a great tool that can help introduce the concept and message of your company to the marketplace. It is a very simple thing to use, and pretty inexpensive usually.

The audio, will within a short time frame, will give enough information to see if the prospect is interested either in your products and services, or the business. It will help bridge the gap between the new distributor, who is learning the business, and the prospect, who wants a professional presentation, the audio does that.

Interactive CDs have become very popular, and there are great ones out there. Whatever you choose to use, just use it a lot!

Either way, use the audios all the time as they are duplicatable, and they work the same everytime as you are learning the network marketing business.

5)MLM Tools- Videos.

Videos are popular, but not as much as they were in the early 90s…..videos help to tell your story from a visual and audio standpoint, but understand that videos are watched less than audios are listened to.

There is an exception.

Streaming videos and audios are becoming VERY popular on the internet, and many websites have them online, and the quality of the videos online are improving daily it seems and you may want to check it out.

Make sure your video you use, as audios too, are NOT boring. You want a video that is hip, and moves, and is exciting.

6) MLM Tools-Self -Replicating Websites.

Many MLM companies today have what are called “Self Replicating Websites,” like you have probably with your company. it is a website that allows you to have your own personal web page, and usually you can put your picture and a note from you on it to personalize it.

I highly recommend you get one, as they are very affordable today, and it gives you a place where people can go online and check out who you and your company are.

Make sure your website is professional looking. There is nothing that will turn a prospect off quicker than a sloppy and unprofessional web page.

7) MLM Tools-Brochures.

Brochures are a must in todays world. They not only visually can tell your story, but also can tell it thousands of times when you are not there.

You can give them out, mail them, and even use it as a presentation. They normally are 4 color, and look professional, and they usually can be purchased from your network marketing company.

Make sure you use them, and use them often and train your folks top do the same thing.

8) MLM Tools-Presentation Book.

This is a MUST for face to face presentations. I is simply a “flip book” that you use and you flip pages to explain about the MLM company, products, and Comp Plan.

You can make your own with the brochures your company has, and put the pages in clear plastic sleeves, and then put it in a 3 ring binder.

What has become popular are “Mini Flip charts” that are about the size of your hand, and can be fit in a pocketbook and pulled out to do an ‘instant” presentation anywhere. You simply flip the pages as you read them. Most do about a 5 minute presentation…

9) MLM Tools- Email.

This tool has become invaluable the last 5 years in ALL businesses, including MLM. And most network marketing companies today have their own email program, so check into it and see…

If not, you can get free email many places, including:

http://www.yahoo.com

http://www.msn.com

http://www.email.com

These are just a few. See what you can find and get you and email account. It will become a source of incredible communication for you and your business.

10) MLM Tools- Business Cards and Stationary.

You MUST have network marketing business cards if you are going to be in any business today, especially in MLM. You must have your name, your phone number, and email on it, as it is a COMMUN ICATION tool. It lets people know how to get in touch with you.

Make your mlm cards professional looking, but don’t over do the info on it. A cluttered and “busy” card can look unprofessional. See your upline to see if the company has their own cards, and see how much they are. You can get free business cards on the web as well. See your sponsor for that.

It is the same for stationary. Make it clean and professional looking. Not a lot of stuff that makes it look cluttered. It helps to also to match your business cards as that is what we call “Coordinated Power.”

If you want your picture on the cards and stationary…fine. It will cost you a little more.

Those are the top 10 tools…are there more you can use?

SURE!

But these are the main ones you will use to build your netrwork marketing business….

Learn to master 3 of them…make sure the Telephone and 3 Way calling are 2 of them in your MLM and Network Marketing business!
