MLM Training-The Secrets to Seasonal MLM Recruiting

Seasonal MLM Recruiting. 

T hat is a very powerful concept in MLM….are you aware of it?

It is when a particular season in the year can bring an awareness of something that timing may be bad for in other parts of the year… l ike right now….  right now….one thing is especially on people’s minds: 

Change.

It is the new year, and for the next 6 weeks or so, many people will be looking to make changes and to not repeat last year…this year! A nd it is a wonderful recruiting time….and you hold what we call a ‘Seasonal Conversation’ with folks…

The Secret to A Network Marketing Business.
We all know that the secret to this Network Marketing business is EFFECTIVE CONVERSATION….and Communication…we are in the business of Communicating with people… and you can hold a ‘Conversation of Change’ with people right now that will go hand in glove with their thinking…

It is a fact that the first of the year that Gyms get a flood of memberships…that last for maybe 60-90 days, and rarely seen again….that is human nature…but you can help people keep that change in their life…whether they want more money, freedom, time, security, control, or whatever… 

How?

By asking some simple questions and making some statements during a conversation…

The MLM Business Building Concept.
INFERNO SECRET: 

Turn a Conversation into an MLM Business Building Tool…

When you are chatting with someone…here are some ‘MLM Magnetic Questions’ you can ask:

1)’What about last year are you not going to repeat this year?’ 

2)’In one word, how would you describe last year?’

3)’This year, what are you planning on doing different than last year?’

4)’What would be the one thing you would want to change this year in your life?’

5)’What would be more appropriate for you and your family this year? Feeling better about your future than you ever have…or making more money than you ever have?’

  6)’I am not going to let this year be like last year…thank God it’s over…how about you?’ 

7)’You looking to change anything this year about your life?’

8)’How would it impact you and your family to have the best year financially this year than you have had in a long while with a Direct Sales business?’

Success Possibilities in Direct Sales and MLM.
This will lead you into a ‘Conversation of Success Possibilities’ with you and your potential prospect…and push a Hot Button that may be cooler the end of February…

After the question or statement:  ‘You know, I have run across something that is going to help me create the change in my life this year…and it possibly could help you…can we chat?’ 

If you are going to be talking to folks anyway…why not do some ‘Seasonal Recruiting?’ 

This is the season for CHANGE…. 

I suggest you might change what you are doing and talk to people about what is on their mind…and what they want to…..CHANGE.

MLM Frustrated – So… Your MLM Downline is Not Doing Anything? – Part 1

MLM Home Business LeadershipMLM Frustrated? So… Your MLM Downline is Not Doing Anything? – Part 1

 

We all go through it…the inevitable….we get some folks in our MLM group…and we get all excited…and we think…

“This is gonna ROCK!”

And they turn into a Rock.

Lifeless.

Listless.

Immovable.

Sets there.

Duds.

All of them.

Sound familiar? And you get to the point that you wanna scream…AAAGGGHHHH!

Been there?

Well…I got some good news and some not so good news….The not so good news is it’s partly your fault….The good news is …is that it can be fixed in a lot of cases…

There are what we at PassionFire call the “5 Downline Reality Questions”…and they reveal what you really need to take a look at when this happens…

INFERNO Secret:

If you are in Network Marketing….It WILL happen to you in some shape or form…it’s all part of Leadership in this business…

The Leadership Factor in Network Marketing.
As a Leader, and sometimes it’s tough being the Leader you need to be, you must ask yourself these questions and be honest with yourself…

I taught this in our group and sometimes we are more focused on blaming others for our weaknesses than ourselves…

“I have a weak downline!” “I have a bunch of Losers…” “I cannot believe I lucked out with such a sorry downline…”

I have heard it all….and even said some myself…we all get frustrated in this business and it is the Leader that is not afraid to ask these questions that can turn it around in a lot of instances…

The MLM Leadership Questions.
Here they are:

1) “What are you NOT doing?” A lot of times, we look at what our downline is NOT doing…and not us…and in reality, they are duplicating us…we get into a “management” mode…and expect the folks to go out while we sit on our “butts”…

INFERNO Secret:

It’s the “buts” in this business that will kill you….

Are you Prospecting? Are you Contacting? Are you doing Presentations? Are you Following Up? Are you Getting the Decisions? Are you Training your people?

Are you providing a growth Environment for your folks?(CLUE!!!) Are you sitting on YOUR Behind too? Take a look at what YOU are NOT doing, and then see if you have been duplicated…in most instances…you have…

2) “What is Missing?” What is missing in the Success Formula? Prospects? Activity? Focus? Belief? Follow Up? Resiliancy?

Does your downline have adequate training?

Does your downline have adequate support from you?

Does your downline have the Tools they need?

Does your Downline have the system they need to recruit?

Does your downline SEE YOU and HEAR YOU in All Out Massive Action YOURSELF?

Oh…I understand…you are too busy “helping” your downline to LEAD THEM…..(CLUE!!!!!)

The MLM Success Model.
INFERNO Secret:

You LEAD in this business by setting the Success Model and Path and Role so they can do what you do….are they missing in their business what you are?

Most of the time…when a downline is NOT doing anything….

What is missing…Is NOT them getting off their behinds…or getting them to DO More….

It is your….MLM LEADERSHIP.

Blessings…

MLM Leadership: 5 Types of MLM Downline Distributors – Part 2

home business socialite

home business socializing

4) The Socialite.

There are many folks who join a company for what we at PassionFire call “The Peripherals of MLM”…What are they?

Folks who join to …

Belong to Something…To Feel Included in Something…To Make New Friends…To Make a Difference To Have Fun…To Have a Meaning for Life…To Become a Better Person…To Become a part of Something Bigger than Themselves…To Join a Cause or Crusade…

The List is numerous…but these folks can be a great thing for your MLM group, as they know other folks that possibly can be of help to your Home Business group…

They rarely will bring guests, so you must encourage them to introduce THEIR FRIENDS…to YOUR FRIENDS…and make the meeting a social place to meet people and when they show up with someone, you take the lead…

The Socialite can be valuable if you work with them right…but once they have proven to you to really not be interested in doing the business, only “Being At” the business…

Time to move on to more serious players, and coach the Socialite with work at home trainings, but only in groups with the other non-producers…

The Amazing Disappearing MLM Distributor.

5) The Amazing Disappearing Distributor.

This one cracks me up…someone who comes into the home business, gets all excited, tell you they are in it for the long haul, attend some meetings, and conference calls, and all the while, saying all they have going on…and then…

Where did they go???

They not only have dropped out of sight from any web forums, conference calls, or events…they have been sucked into the abyss in their house by the “MLM Monster of Mediocrity”…

They no longer answer your phone calls, they no longer return emails, voice mails, or any other communications….

And they are nowhere to be found…

But…When you eventually run into them (and you will)…they give you a dozen excuses why they had so much “Pressing Business matters” to attend to, that they had to “Temporarily” suspend their participation…

But WAIT!

 They’ll be back!~!

Time Waster.

INFERNO Secret:

Don’t even waste your time…tell them your business is going great, and if they need you, they know the number to call you…don’t hold your breath…

The ADD is simply looking for the Lottery in MLM, and when they didn’t find it…and discovered the dreaded thought…

“AAAGGHHHH!! This is WORK!!!”..

POOF!!! They become Invisible…God blessem…but move on….

Those are the 5 Types of Downline distributors you can have in your group…

The MLM Percentages.
INFERNO Secret:

The Socialite, The Talker, and the Amazing Disappearing Distributor will make up a large portion of you group…

Builders may be less than 10 %…and Retailers less than 30%…so what do you do?

Spend 90% of your time with the Time you have allocated for Leadership with the Builders, and Retailers…and work with some of each individually…and the others?

Spend the remaining 10% with your non producers in groups…maybe they know someone who will produce…there is always that chance…for your home based business.

Blessings…

MLM -3 Things in Your Home That Can KILL Your Home Business -Part 1

home business shock

home business shock

My Home Based Business is WHAT?

The fact that you have decided to build a home business is awsome!

And I congatulate you on a great choice…

But…let me ask you a question…

If you have spiders or bugs in your home….do you get rid of them?

Of course you do…and we all know anyone else would as well..

There are 3 things in your home that can KILL your Home Biz if you are not careful, and many times that happens…unknowingly…

An MLM home biz is a great way to build a future…but if you build a home, you surely don’t want to let termites eat the wood and destroy it…would you? of course not! You would get an exterminator for it amd make sure the house isn’t destoyed…

Isn’t your future more valuable than a home? So let’s take a look at what will KILL your MLM -home biz, and what to do about it…

What will Kill Your MLM Home Business.

1) “Life’s Distractions”…

 Life can be so distracting…with all that happens in a day..but most of the distractions are ones we can control…but usually don’t…I call them “Time Termites”…

They are what happen on a daily basis that eat away at our time and keeps us so busy with ‘Life” that our business suffers…if you are part time and working a home business, this is even more important!

Because time is money and if you are too distracted to work your business, then the “Time termites” show up and eat away at your b usiness…and your self uimage…

You know you should be working…but yet you have things that you need to do…that somehow take you away from your biz..like phone calls from friends, kids, home duties, etc…

You need to put a weekly SCHEDULE of when you are working, and let people know that you are not available for them (unless emergencies) and you will call them back, or get back to them…

If you don’t, then the “Time termites” will eat away at your business, and you will only have yourself to blame….

2) “Being BUSY…but not building”

….Is your MLM business a priority in your life? Is it something that you work DAILY?

I can tell when I coach someone that if they are working their business on a daily, and consistent basis,but not much is happening, then their Network Marketing business is in motion…but not movement…..

If there is a lack of effectiveness in your home biz, then you have been invaded by what i call “Busy Bugs”…

You are BUSY,…..doing all the wrong things that will not build your business…because it is not a priority nor a passion…

The Pretend Factor in Working a Home Business in MLM.
You may “pretend” to be working…but you are not really…you are simply acting out the motions, and fooling yourself into thinking you are building a direct sales business…

If you are not talking to new people everyday and following up everyday, you are BUSY…but not building..and that produces not much of a paycheck..

Building requires activities that communicate, market, and recruit…if you are doing everything else, then you are letting “Busy Bugs” eat away at your business, and soon your foundation of what you are building…will be weak…

3) “Doubts that this REALLY will work…”

 Do you REALLY believe that you will succeed in your home biz?

REALLY??

That alone will determine a lot of what happens in your home business…I call them “Doubt Daubers”….

They are the “Wasps of Weakness’ that can cripple your home business, and invade your mind and sting your thinking with the Venom of Victim…not victory…

You must think in your home business that it WILL work…because many spouse are negative because they sense youa re not 100% sold on what you are doing, and if you are not…

Why are you doing it?

“Doubt Daubers” can actually build nests in your home business…with the Mud of Mediocrity…in your mind…

And it will truly “Muddy Up” your business..Is that what you want for it?

NOT!

Take control of your home business and get the pest control Police out…to kill the ‘Doubt Daubers’…

And the best way is to read, listen to, learn all you can about what you want to happen…

Success…if you study MLM success, then your home will have less of a chance to be invaded by the pesty ‘Doubt Daubers”!

Blessings…

MLM Cold Market- 10 Commandments MLM List Recruiting – Part 1

In every call there are certain principles that must be adhered to….and followed.

These are what I call “The Ten Commandments of MLM Cold Market List Recruiting”….after making 75,000 phone calls, I found that these are lessons learned the hard way, and definitely written in stone…

The Ten Commandments of MLM Cold Market Recruiting
1) “Thou shalt transfer Energy that the prospect is drawn towards….not repelled by.”

Energy is a MUST in MLM calling cold market lists….because that is the MAGNETISM you display and the prospect feels….It must come out in your personality that you are INTENSELY MOVED by your opportunity, not just excited.

You cannot move anyone towards you if you are not moved yourself…and I am not talking about hype either…Hype comes from the mind and is temporary….

Network marketing recruiting ENERGY comes from the HEART…and leaves a residue on the prospect after you hang up….

Your energy also is a fruit of your SERIOUSNESS…and the prospect will never be anymore serious about your Home Business offer….than you are.

2) “Thou shalt have BIG EXPECTATIONS.”

What you expect to happen with your business….generally does. Calling lists is no exception. What you expect can be heard in your voice, your tone, your inflections, and your words.

You expect big results, then you will be working towards that… You expect small results….you get small results. But you must expect CONSISTENTLY and PERSISTENTLY.

There is a learning curve in calling lists, and you must go through it…so if your results are not where you want them…then you are right on track….as your MLM business is growing and so eventually will your results…if you expect BIG!

3) “Thous shalt NOT just Recruit….but BEFRIEND.”

Your job in calling lists is simply to make a new friend. Why? It’s easier to recruit a friend than it is a stranger. And your goal is to make that prospect glad you called, regardless of the results that happen.

Most everyone likes making new friends,and your MLM list that you have is nothing more than a list of friends that you have not met yet! Making friends is a different energy and focus and is perceived totally different by the prospect…than a recruiting focus….

Yes…your goal is to recruit them, but first make a friend and increase the odds of them listening to you and liking you as well…

Blessings…

MLM Recruiting Training – MLM Recruiters…The 5 Types

home based business eagle

home business eagle

A Home business

  has many types of people in it.

A Home based business also has many types of dostributors in it, whether they are working social media or traditional methods.

It is amazing.

Every where I have the honor of speaking, I see over and over the 5 types of recruiters in MLM….and they all remind me of animals.

Animals have a particular way of creating in their habitat what they need to survive and live on…and to become what nature meant for them to be…

Network marketers are a lot like that too…

Last week I was deluged with emails about the article on “Recruiting the Wrong People.” My good friend John Milton Fogg emailed me and said he was putting that article up on his Greatest Networker site…

“Wow Dougie! I am stealing this article for my site! Catch me if you caaaannnnn! Great stuff!”

Thanks for the kind comments!

So…. This week’s article explains a lot of WHY folks recruit the wrong people, and you may even see yourself in one of these Recruiting Animals that run rampant in MLM…

There are 5 Types of recruiters in MLM.
The first:

1) “The Snake”.

This is the type of recruiter that deceives and takes advantage of folks and is a cancer to this great industry. This recruiter has one focus…. to TAKE and do whatever it takes to recruit you…including unethical things and practices…

Why? Who knows, but they are out there, and it is a shame… A snake slithers around the ground silently and looks for prey… Sound familiar? Know anyone like that? If you do…stay away from them as they are bad news…

2) “The Hyena…”

This is the person who simply cannot shut up during an MLM recruiting meeting or call…. they are focused on themselves and talk about themselves and like a hyena, run their mouths and laugh a lot all in the name of “look at me…and what I have done…”

Give me a break…

INFERNO Secret:

People come into this mlm business for THEIR reasons…. Not yours…

Keep the conversation focused on them and not you…don’t be like a hyena and dominate the meeting…

Don’t be like a hyena and look foolish to the prospect…

Don’t be like a hyena and constantly be engaged in bringing attention to you… Keep your attention on them, and you will have a much better chance of recruiting someone…

The “Chew Factor” in Network Marketing.

3) “The Cow…”

The Cow is the “Lay around all day and do nothing and chew on CUD…” recruiter… These folks are the less-than ambitious people who wander around in MLM and chew on “Failure Grass…” and it ends up CUD…. Cows chew CUD daily…

What does “CUD” stand for?

“Consistently Unproductive Daily….”

That’s what Cows do…they do nothing and get nothing in this business…

Brutal? Yes.

The Truth?

Absolutely!

Are you a Cow in MLM recruiting? Do you MOOOOO? (As instead of working, you end up watching MOOOOvies?) That is called a CLUE!!!!! GET BUSY and quit chewing Failure Grass and CUD! Success Grass tastes 1000 times better!

4) “The Beaver…

” These are the folks that are teachable, and are eager to work and are excited about their Home business. They have a great work ethic, and a great mental focus, and they are into one thing: BUILDING.

They are into Network marketing to BUILD and build more…they like to build DAMS….

DAMS are what create success in MLM…

The DAM of Belief… The DAM of Action… The DAM of Results… The DAM of Consistency. The DAM of Prospects….

You know what DAM stands for?

“Doing All Methodically….”

And that is what they do…. ALL…what ever it takes, and they do MLM Methodically, step by step, daily, and never give up…

They prospect, contact, present, follow up, get the decision, and train DAILY! Till they have built a DAM and reservoir of SUCCESS!

Soar in Network Marketing with Your Home Business.

5) “The Eagle…”

The Eagle is a recruiter that is in a class all by themselves… They soar above the crowd when it comes to recruiting, and they are sharp and focused in their efforts…

They are totally professional, and have great Leadership skills…they are sharp in many ways and have great communication and building skills… They recruit from a “what is best for you. Not best for me” standpoint, and always puts the prospect first and foremost. The eagle knows whom they want to recruit, and doesn’t bother with anybody else…

Eagles look for other Eagles, or those who aspire to be… Eagles search out for the BEST in people…and then when they find it, they know they have something to build on…and to recruit. Eagles are head and shoulders above most in recruiting in their actions, consistency, attitudes, and work ethic…

OK…. Where are you in the 5 Types of recruiters?

I hope and pray at least the Beaver…

INFERNO Secret:

Many a Beaver has grown and evolved into an Eagle over time…

Where are you evolving? Your answer has just painted a picture of your recruiting destiny in this industry…

Blessings…

Home Business – THE Ultimate Secret Success Tactic

Have more than thou showest…speak less than thou knowest…” William Shakespeare

Ego.

Know anybody that has a big one?

As one of my mentors Ben Johnson, 5 billion dollar producer in MLM and Network Marketing, says:

“Ego is a reverse disease…the person that has it is not sick, but it makes everybody else around him sick…”

Ol’ Willy knew what he was talking about when he wrote that quote…it’s called…

“Don’t show all your cards in the game of life. Hold something back, so you will have an extra ace or two to play when you need it.”

Why would someone want to not let people know how wonderful they are?

Simple…When you blow your own horn, it can be heard as a sour note to some people…and in some instances, totally off key…

When someone else blows your MLM horn…

Sounds like a symphony to many people, and they can enjoy and appreciate your results and Direct Sales achievements.

Wanna know a HUGE Secret to make that happen?

The Success Focus of the Network Marketer.
Focus on helping people obtain their short term goals and then when they do…you blow their horn!

And they will be so appreciative, they will somewhere down the line make sure people hear about your MLM success when it comes…

Humility is a good thing, as it really is endearing…

As a friend of mine says…

” Silence is great with people…makes them wonder what you’ve been up to!”

But also, not revealing what you know is not a sign of weakness…but of Wisdom.

Some of the wisest people that ever walked earth were the kind of people that were Listeners..

And you can learn a whole lot more by listening to others than hearing yourself talk..you already know what you are saying….

The Power of Keeping Something Back in MLM.
Stay back sometimes in conversation and ask questions and let others talk about themselves and their success, and you just smile and listen,and congratulate them…

Then when they find out later what YOU have accomplished in network Marketing, it will have 3 times the impact….

And create a great image of strength and power that you may not have had before…

INFERNO Secret:

Keep something back…

It will keep you out front.

blessings…
