Be a Mentor with a Servant’s Heart

August 11th, 2009

Filename: j0335880.wmfThere’s a tremendous amount of people that struggle and try really hard but never manage to strive in Network Marketing.

Super Mentor and Coach Mike Lewis figured out over the years why that is.

Most people that are attracted to Network Marketing are following rules by people that find this stuff easy. People who can easily talk to strangers, people who can do presentations, people who love to run adds on the newspaper… People that are natural born salespeople. All these things come natural to them, they’re just being who they are. They’re just doing what is natural to them.

The problem arises when they try to change everybody else to be like them and expect everybody else to change.

The vast majority of the population would struggle to sell a drink to a thirsty man! They are not just cut out  for “selling” in the context of direct sales.

Most of these Networkers are Articulate, caring, thoughtful, industrious people, and many are excellent business people in other fields. Yet they struggle to even get off the start line with they Network Marketing Business.

They DO walk in shadows, searching for light… They go to their upline or the company to ask for support, direction and guidance, but constantly get referred back to those old useless sales techniques.

“Great! Just 99 more “NO”s and you’ll get lucky!”

“ It’s a numbers game.”

“You must close the sale.”

“Work harder.”

“Get committed.”

“Be serious about your business.”

Put your life on hold and get focused.”

Does this sound familiar to you?

Sooner or later Networkers clearly see it doesn’t work for most of the people, so they resign themselves to the fact that is something wrong with them.

There’s nothing wrong with you.

These natural born sellers, Heavy Hitters, will tell you that Network Marketing is a Sales Business. It’s NOT!

Network Marketing is a teaching and mentoring business. Your product is People. So study people. Find out how you can help them reach their dreams.

People join people. They don’t join companies. People don’t care that the president of your company is a family man and has 3 or 4 families to prove it.

Build People. People will build the business. If you treat them like a number, you have no future in Network Marketing.

To Succeed long-term, you need to become a mentor with a Servant’s heart. When you do, people will ask you to PLEASE sponsor them into your business.

Are you a mentor with a Servant’s heart?

To your Success,

Become a Winner- Part 1

July 27th, 2009

The game of life.

In his book, “Betting on Yourself”, Dr Robert Anthony said that, if you’re determined to create a rewarding Network Marketing Business, to succeed on your relationships and to enjoy a sense of emotional well-being, keep reading so you can learn how to become a Winner in all these areas.

The path to winning is reasonably straight. There are however a number of obstacles that need to be overcome along the way.

Winning is an Attitude.

To understand what it takes to beat the odds against losing, you must first understand what it takes to be a winner.

Contrary to popular belief, winning is not a matter of luck. Winning is an Attitude.

For the purpose of this study, Dr. Robert Anthony divided the general population into 3 specific categories:

1. Winners

2. Losers

3. Non-Winners

Winner- This is a person who has what he wants. He achieves whatever he sets out to accomplish.

Loser- This one is someone who doesn’t have all he wants but has good “reasons” why he doesn’t have it. He feels he’s a victim of people, circumstances and conditions. He blames everyone and everything for his current situation in life.

Non-Winner- This is a person who is willing to do whatever it takes to be a Winner but who lacks the necessary knowledge and skills to go from where he is to where he wants to be. He doesn’t blame family, friends and some historical event in his life, nor does he blame himself. He realizes that through great knowledge and desire he can make some significant changes. Recognizing his present situation as a temporary one, he’s willing to do whatever is necessary to get on the path that leads to winning.

It you’re not presently a Winner, you are either a Loser or a Non-Winner. As a Loser, you cannot have what you want until you are willing to take the First Step.

This requires giving up all excuses or “reasons” for not having what you want. It also means no longer identifying with or attempting to justify your “victim” status. Once a Loser is able to do this, he will automatically move up into a Non-Winner category. As a Non-Winner, it now becomes possible to practice and eventually master the necessary skills to become a Winner.

In my next post I’ll give you the starting point to becoming a Winner.

To your Success,

Cristiana Martinez
