Let’s Start A Network Marketing Business

“Are you down? This is going to be a huge undertaking, wouldn’t you agree? But the reward at the other end is enormous. C’mon we can do it, right? One of the main things we’re going to need is a trump tight compensation plan. Shoot me some ideas.”

Five Things To Consider Before You Quit Your Job To Go Full Time In MLM

Why do people join network marketing companies? Is it for the product, the people, the company or the money? People get involved in network marketing to get P-A-I-D! Don’t let anyone fool you. Of course those other reasons are important too, but 99.99% of the people get involved for the money. And going full time in network marketing is a dream come true for the masses. Forbes magazine says that 87% of employees go to a job that they hate and most college graduates are not working in a field that they majored in anyway, so having your freedom and your time in network marketing is pure LOVE!

However, there are some things to consider before you jump ship and throw all of your chips in when going full time in MLM. There are several reasons, but for the sake of keeping this article short and sweet, here are five:

1. Mindset. Now you know I had to start off with mindset. It’s very hard to break away from the security of having a job. I mean the set up is sort of nice, right? There’s a steady paycheck and health benefits. But understand, that entrepreneurs are looking for freedom while employees look for security. Robert Kiyosaki put it best in his book Before You Quit Your Job, the people with security are in jail, that’s why they call it maximum security.

2. Set Money Aside. Once you’re in a position where you can leave your job, be sure that you have some money put aside. In network marketing, your commissions can fluctuate, so you’ll want to have funds set aside to cover your household expenses. I recommend joining affiliate programs and marketing their products to help offset some of your expenses.

3. Health Insurance. A few days ago a buddy of mine posted on his facebook page asking for suggestions on health insurance companies for entrepreneurs. Again, this is crucial because you have moved from an employer paid insurance to self-insurance so be sure to do your homework because there are some very good plans for the self-employed.

4. Revise Your Plan. Your schedule will now change now that you’re a full time network marketer. When you were part time, you could only do so much during the day because most of your time was spent at the J.O.B. (just over broke….for you newbies reading this). Your plan should look like a college syllabus with a time schedule and tasks.

5. Freakish Focus. This is an extension of #4. You have to have laser beam focus now that you’re in it to win it full time. It’s sort of like taking a class online. I remember taking some college courses on the Internet and because I wasn’t in the classroom I had to be very disciplined and do the coursework. Same is true here.

These are just five things but there are certainly more. So consider these factors when thinking about doing your network marketing business full time. This is truly an amazing and exciting time in your life and to have your time and freedom to do what you want, when you want and with whom you want is priceless.

Go for it!

Network Marketers And The Little League World Series

Baseball was one of my passions growing up as a kid in the Cleveland, OH area. And when I get the opportunity I still play softball to stay active. A few days ago I was watching the Little League World Series as Hawaii and New Jersey competed to move on in the tournament. It was a very good defensive game with Hawaii winning 3-1.

As I watched these 12 year olds throw 70mph fast balls I noticed that the batters were connecting with the ball, even if it was a foul ball, they were still connecting. They were making some incredible plays throughout the game, but I was still amazed at how well these kids were hitting.

The point of this article is that, while the boys were making contact with the ball during the game, it reminded me of what a lot of people in network marketing do, or should I say don’t do and that is to connect with people. Everyone communicates but only a few connect. Often times people in our industry (or in life for that matter) want to get their message across, but they lack listening skills. Being genuine with others is a big part of building relationships, whether it be with your prospects, team members, kids, spouses, co-workers , etc.

I’m currently reading a book by John C. Maxwell called Everyone Communicates Few Connect. And in his book he points out that understanding that your focus must be on others is often the greatest hurdle people face in connecting with others. You must be able to communicate with the attitude of selflessness. And you do this by answering these three questions that people always ask themselves when interacting with others:

1. Do You Care For Me? Mutual concern creates connection between people. So if you can learn to care about others, you can connect with them
2. Can You Help Me? Ask yourself what benefits can you offer someone. There’s an old saying in sales: “nobody wants to be sold, but everyone wants to be helped.”
3. Can I Trust You? Trust is vital in business and in life. Author Jeffrey Gitomer said that trust is even more important than love. Now that’s deep:-)

So the next time you’re talking with you prospects make sure you are connecting with them and not just talking to them to get your point across. People can smell this like dogs smell fear.

Happy Connecting!

“Customer Service? I’d Like To Cancel My Monthly Autoship”

WTH? Why would anyone want to cancel their autoship? Believe it or not, if a new rep or distributor has not gotten a commission check within 67 days, you can say buh-bye to that volume on your team because they are calling customer service and canceling their autoship and possibly their distributorship. Believe it or not approximately 87% of new network marketers cancel their autoship because it becomes a bill to them if they’re not making any money.

Here are the three main reasons that reps cancel their autoship:

#1. They simply can’t afford it. For the average household, a $200-$300 autoship is just not feasible for them.

#2. They have a whole pile of product in their closet or their garage, stacked to the ceiling. They’ve literally run out of space to place any more boxes of product.

#3. The final reason is that they simply don’t want it. Whether it be a juice, makeup, pill, lotion or potion, when it’s time to cut family expenses, autoship is the first thing that gets axed. Who knows, the product might not even be working for them, especially wellness products becuase they work on different people in different ways.

Now imagine if your autoship product was REAL MONEY! Did you even know that that was even an option? By far, this has been the best product on autoship that I have ever seen in my five plus years in the network marketing industry.

Didn’t we all join network marketing to make money? What if you were a rep inside of a company where the product was money? What if every single month the UPS driver delivered MONEY to your home? You’d probably cut the volume down on the TV just so you could listen out for the engine on their trucks….lol. Now imagine that the product is GOLD & SILVER!

Now picture yourself a part of this company……who in their right mind would consider canceling their autoship? Watch the video below as my coach and mentor, Cedrick Harris, cancels his autoship of gold and silver.

“HEY, CAN YOU CANCEL MY MONEY PLEASE.”

How To Take MLM Spam And Junk Mail Messages And Turn Them Into A Tidal Wave Of New Reps For Your Business

No, not that type of spam, but you get my point right:-) Here’s a great article that was written by a good friend of mine. The reason I liked this article is because it’s a unique strategy that most marketers would never think about. The author of this article, Larry Beacham, has over 15 years of network marketing experience and is a master internet marketer. He has helped over 1,000 people build their network marketing businesses and he hosts a live weekly webinar that gives a lot of value to MLMers in any company. Here’s Larry’s article:

Did you delete a gigantic amount of MLM spam messages today (like I did) from idiots trying to shove their business down your throat? In this article, I’m going to tell you how I flip this Tsunami of junk mail into a cash cow for myself, and how you can, too.

1. Read it – I know that sounds ridiculous and a huge time waster, but there might be a nugget of gold in there for you. Believe it or not, the problem isn’t WHAT they are marketing; it’s HOW they are marketing. So, while everyone else is irritated and mad about it and blindly delete it, do the opposite. Quickly skim through it to see if there’s some value in there.

2. Glean the value - Some of this junk mail has videos, free downloads, ebooks, etc. that you can use as leverage to establish YOUR OWN VALUE. I have a book called Psychological Triggers that has done wonders for my understanding of how to get people to take action. Guess where I discovered that book?

3. Repackage it – Did you know that some of the world’s leading brands were once poorly packaged and couldn’t sell very much of their goods? It wasn’t until someone who was smart enough to understand color scheme, wording, layout and a host of other things came along and “fixed” what was wrong. Packaging DOES matter. If you look at certain brands in the U.S. and then look at how they are packaged in other countries, you’ll better understand what I mean. Simply put, if you know how your audience likes to take in information, then repackage that value and distribute it.

4. SELL VALUE – You may be struggling to get people to look at your opportunity, and the main reason is because you’re selling the wrong thing. For example, if you put out a message that says, “Tonight at 8pm, I’m going to be talking about Pre-Paid Legal (assuming this is your company) and how you can make money. Register here: www.MyPPLWebinar.com,” ABSOLUTELY NOBODY WILL SHOW UP!!! It doesn’t matter the company; if you push this approach, expect to have a lot of empty “seats.” Now, if you were to take that information that you received from the spam message, repackage it and sell the VALUE OF IT, here’s how that would look: “Tonight at 8pm, I’m going to be demonstrating a new software program that locates top income earners from fallen MLM companies looking for a new company.” You’ll have 150 people show up. Why? Anyone with half a brain would want to find and locate PROVEN TOP PRODUCERS for their opportunity and this is a unique training with awesome potential. Now you have 150 hungry people at your webinar gleaning the value of that spam. Cool right?

If you’re a savvy network marketer, with an audience of 150 people who have just fallen in love with your value, you would be smart to transition to your opportunity. So, here’s how this could sound: “Thank you all for coming to this training on how to find top producers from fallen MLM opportunities. If you’re involved in a company that you’re 100% sold out to and not looking, you can go ahead and leave. For those of you who would like some additional value, I’ll be sharing my recommendation on a company that gives you the best chance to pull the most reps with this new technique.” Here’s what’s funny about doing this – usually less than 10% will leave! The power of curiosity is something to be reckoned with. When was the last time you had nearly 100 prospects in front of your opportunity? You can send a “thank you” message to the spammer for giving you the necessary tools to get them there. Open your mind to the possibilities of spam – it could mean 10 new reps per month!

Hope this information was helpful to you!

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do – Transitioning To A New Company

If you’ve never done this before, don’t worry it’s coming. That is if you have sold out to network marketing. I’m not referring to those that “stick their toe in it.” If you’ve experienced transitioning to a new company before, then you know how difficult it can be (for some). Many people get emotionally attached to the company, the product, the leadership, etc. ….trust me, I can relate. But what makes us move in the first place? Well I’ve found three reasons for “the breakup” and hope that it will help you should you get ready to cross that bridge.

Out of Business. Well reason #1 is an obvious one and a no-brainer, the company folds. That’s right, not too many companies are immune to the realization of this. You have leadership (or so you thought) that often times has themselves in mind and not the distributors that represent the company. This is why it’s so important to do your due diligence about a company and even the top leaders (reps) within that company.

But It’s A Ground-Floor Company. This is a good one here. Currently there are over 4,800 network marketing companies in the industry and over 40% of them are in the health and wellness industry. That’s mainly because people are more health conscious now than they were years ago. If you’re a 70s/80s baby, you know darn well McDonalds did not serve salads, now did they? Now you scratch your head trying to decide which salad you should choose. Most of the companies that pop up are in the health and wellness industry, but again, I encourage you to do your homework before joining start ups and pre-launch companies. Most startups fail within a few years, it ‘s just a fact. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with them because all companies started at one point, right?

Follow The Leader. This, in my opinion, is the #1 reason that people change network marketing companies, PERIOD! Why do you think that so many people have jumped on the bandwagon with the Trump Network? Because of Donald Trump, right (I’m not endorsing his company, just an example:-). They associate “The Don” with success. I was involved with a group that within a year it was the fastest growing team in the company and today, I’ve aligned myself yet again with a team that’s the fastest growing team within it’s company. So I say that to say that people follow people, not companies. This is really HUGE because when you can brand yourself, you can basically write your own ticket and you will have an enormous following. Don’t believe me, just ask Oprah!

I’m sure there are other reasons like the company changed management, the comp plan was modified, it changed it’s structure from a multilevel marketing company to a direct sales company. But I feel that the top three that I explained above are pretty important. So treat the idea of moving to another company like a school, you have to do your research!

What You Need To Know About Joining Pre-Launches

Imagine for one moment that you need to get a sizeable bank loan for a particular need, and you walk into your local branch to visit with a loan officer. You’ve never obtained credit before, so you have great confidence in knowing that there is no negative information that would prevent you from getting approved. To your disbelief, you get denied; not because of bad credit, but because of NO credit. Having no credit is as bad, if not worse, than having bad credit.

Having no track record is VERY risky and most financial institutions don’t want to take on this level of risk, and they certainly don’t want you practicing on them. However, you may find someone to fund your need, but at a very high interest rate.

Here’s the point: You need credibility and social proof in order to establish yourself as a legitimate and sound entity, otherwise anyone associated with a pre-launch or “ground floor” opportunity is nothing more than a guinea pig in a science experiment.

Keep 100% of Your Target Audience Engaged, Interested, and Motivated to Join You in Your Business

Can you keep a secret? I didn’t think so, neither can I. But wouldn’t you want to know the secret to getting your prospects, with credit card in hand, ready to join you in business? Most network marketers don’t think that this is possible, but the one thing that separates the haves from the have-nots is information.

One of my good friends, Larry Beacham, shared some of this information with me. The process of presenting your business with enrollment power is understanding your audience and how they are divided based on Core Attitude and Core Motivation. Let me start off with the Core Attitude. In every group there are four types of Core Attitudes
