Common Mistakes Everyone Makes in MLM

February 17th, 2010

A common mistake, often fatal to your business is: “Failing to check the background of your company’s leadership!
When the management team has built a downline themselves, they
respect you.

Companies are nothing without us!

If they could sell their products themselves, they’d just put some
magical ad on the internet somewhere and people would come
to buy in droves.

But that does not happen.

Why? Because it takes you and me to build the relationships
with the prospects, so they buy from us.

And how do you know if your company leadership has integrity?
Simple. Read their company Policies & Procedures. (not the
Terms & Conditions) Then you will know.

99.9% of the people you talk to want to build a business and then
retire and enjoy the fruits of their work.

But these companies have come in the backdoor like snakes in
the night. They’ve changed their Policies & Procedures, adding
phrases like “ongoing sales”, “ongoing recruiting,” “continuous”,
“regular meetings.” You cannot retire – even though they’ve
promoted early retirement as one of the main benefits of their
business!

It’s amazing. If you retire, they can legally terminate you! Does
that show any sign of integrity?

Absolutely not.

Your Policies & Procedures are THE contract between you & your
company. They are written by the company lawyers. You’d better
know for certain what YOUR P&Ps say!

Here are some additional steps to insure your safety & security.
• Search Google for the owners of the company.
• Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word ‘Scam’ to your search.
• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an in-the-field Network Marketing background?
• Read your “Policies & Procedures” and “Terms & Conditions”;
both are part of your Legal Contract.
• Look for the word “Ongoing”.
• Look for policies that strike you as “Unreasonable”. Like “Termination, with or without cause”.
• Ask yourself “Does this contract protect me or the company?” “Is it clear which way it leans?”
• Does the company charge you for training or a company web site?
• Does the company charge you for each paycheck they send you?

Rules of Thumb:
• The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you
are being hidden in “Legalese”!
• If it’s a “Cash Only” business…It’s a Scam!
• If you can buy a position at the top…It’s a Scam!
• If you are offered a “Special Deal”…the playing field isn’t level for all.
• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly reduced price…Buy there instead.
• If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favor of the
Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors.
• Check these two websites: http://MLMwatchdog.com and http://MarketWaveInc.com.

The above info (taken from our trainng) covers only 1 of 5 critical legs (Pillars) that make up ALL companies. This and much more is available to each member of our community, Mentoring For Free.

Questions your Prospects Ask

February 3rd, 2010

It is key to make your network marketing business as duplicatable as possible. And the less you have to talk, the more duplicatable it gets. The ability to use the Success In 10 Steps ebook and just point to sections that answer certain questions or to sections that would be valuable to people makes your life a lot simpler.

The format of the ebook has been very successful. It’s had over 107,000 downloads in the past 4 years. A lot of people have used STS to generate leads and build an MLM business. It is set up to make it easy for people to do network marketing. You don’t have to be an expert at anything. You hardly even need to be able to answer any questions.

We know the 3 questions people most ask when they’re looking for a business:

1. Is this something I can do?
2. Can I make money at it?
3. Can you help me?

For them to answer question #1 positively, the business has to be really simple. And it’s important to show them that it’s going to be simple for them to give this system to the people they bring into the business.

They may not be thinking that far ahead. But as soon as you point out to them that they have to be able to give THEIR prospects a simple system or their business will not duplicate, they know that is true.

On page 10 of STS, Michael Dlouhy talks about the 100 MLM companies that he joined. It’s a good story that can answer several different questions.

Most of the people who download the STS ebook are people who have already been in network marketing, but who have struggled with the business. They’re looking for answers. They don’t know why they haven’t been successful. They know it’s not because somebody else is smarter than they are. They are frustrated.

So Michael joining 100 different MLM businesses to kind of get an idea of how the whole thing works resonates with them. It makes sense to do that. And it helps give your prospect some background that helps them see all the value they can possibly get from reading this ebook.

Page 10 is definitely one of the sections I would point out to prospects. Again, when you only need to point someone to a page in the book to answer their questions and gain credibility, it becomes obvious that this is a very easy business to do.

Get your Free copy here

The ebook, the training, the Mentoring and all the Coaching you can handle for NADA! This is an incredible system that teaches you HOW to build online.

What do you have to lose? Your time. Is your Success not Worth the time to read the eBook?

A Great Article on MLM by Michael Dlouhy

December 9th, 2009

By Michael Dlouhy, author of the Free e-Book on MLM “Success in 10 Steps”

One thing network marketers do is … we wonder why other people do the things they do. Some of that stuff really seems irrational, doesn’t it? Selfish, mean, nuts? It’s frustrating just to think about someone doing those crazy things. Why can’t they be normal? Like … like … like US for instance!

And do you know what the height of this lunacy is? They … look at us … and think exactly the same thing!

Since they are so set in their crazy ways, maybe the smartest thing for us to do is to be a bit less bothered by their nuttiness.

One way to do this is to look beyond their behavior and into their soul. The vast majority of associates and prospects and family members aren’t being devious. They are just doing what they believe in. If you can look at the other person and see the innocence behind their behavior, then you can have compassion for them.

One area where others seem to often “go too far” is in their idea of how quickly we should be doing some pretty weird (probably unproductive) action, to help them in their MLM business. To them, it’s urgent. You, on the other hand, have 27 things on your list more urgent and more likely to produce good results. So just think of the frustration you feel when a project is urgent to you and you have to depend on someone else for the next step. That may make it easier to “feel their pain” and not be so bothered by their behavior.

We appreciate you!

Michael & Linda Dlouhy

What’s the Secret to MLM Success?

October 20th, 2009
See full size image

Want to know the Secret in successfully building an Network Marketing/ MLM Home based Business?
I’ll give it to You in five simple steps.  In order to grow Your network marketing business You need to have:

1. Targeted lead generation
2. Automated prospect follow-up
3. One-on-one relationship building
4. Sponsoring and
5. Training

Obviouslly, it’s better if You have one single simple marketing system that combines all these functions.
A system that’s inviting, informative, non-threatening, educational and fun.
If your Network Marketing company or upline group does not provide system(s) to accomplish these actions,
You absolutely have to set them up Yourself. But it’s a lot easier to go someplace where they
understand these MLM sponsoring secrets and already have an established, tested & proven system.

Just look at the failure rate in this business. The only thing duplicable about making a list of
friends and family is that anyone can make the list. The only thing duplicable about buying
leads is that all it takes is money or credit.

Network Marketing is about relationships. It is not about selling. It is not a numbers game.
When your system includes selling and/or tells you this is a numbers game you will
duplicate more failure than success.

A very important thing you need for MLM Success is people skills.

1st You need to like people. Without that, you will never make it. This is a relationship business.

2nd You need to truly care for others, meaning you can understand how they feel.
If they need sympathy, you are there for them, if they need help you are there for them.

3rd You need to be a good listener. This one is very difficult for certain people,
but once you learn to listen and I mean truly listen to what is being said and focus while
you are listening, people will know that you care. When you learn this, your prospects,                                                                                    family members, and friends will know you care.

4th Don’t change. You need to be YOU!

If you want people skills you need to be a real person. Think about how you would like to
be treated. How you would like people to listen to you, speak to you, and what you would
like to feel coming from that person. Once you can do this you will see major changes.

This step is crucial, so much that we, at Mentoring For Free are constantly training and
coaching people about building relationships.  We have a generic MLM “relationship-building”
training call 5 nights a week. No company is EVER mentioned on these calls. No products are EVER discussed.

Since network marketing is a relationship business, you need these skills. Your sponsoring
rate will go up considerably once you master this.

Read Success In 10 Steps,  for more info.

And I promise You, if You build people, then people will build Your business!

To Your Success,

Cristiana Martinez

MLM Success! How to Have it!

October 14th, 2009

In Network Marketing, People join People not Companies.

When you learn to build a relationship with your prospects you will have life long business partners or customers and MLM Success .

Leadership skills that are taught by professionals that you will be able to pass onto your downline organizations to create duplication in your businesses.
Duplication is what we are after so that you build it once, build it big, to pay your children’s children.

Being honest, open, and having integrity with each individual person will help you achieve MLM Success and become a Top Leader in the industry.

Create a know, like, and trust with each person you talk with. The way to do this is by showing your genuine interest and Listen to what they have to say. Learning what it is that they are looking for or what they’re struggling with, with will help you understand them.

Don’t call your prospects to pitch your deal. Talk with No Agenda. What that means is when I call the prospect it is just to talk and listen to them. Plus you also get a chance to see if you really want them on your team. Ask yourself, would I sponsor anyone into my business that I wouldn’t spend 30 days in a cruise with?

That’s right! You get to see if you want them on your team. Professional Network Marketers get to choose who they mentor and train. Recruiters take anyone that has a pulse and hope they stick. NEXT…

Most Network Marketers try to have success by being pushy and only pushing to recruit, recruit. But it is proven it just does not work that way for most people. It does not duplicate. Do not attack them by trying to let them know you have the greatest company out there or the greatest product or service

So if you want to have MLM Success try the no agenda approach and getting to know the person. Make them feel important and that they are not just a number.

If you need any help don’t hesitate to let us know. We are here to help. That is what Mentoring For Free is all about.

When you approach people, drop the Agenda. You will find that you sponsor more people and they will be with you long term. And you can teach the no sales agenda approach to your Team. Everyone can.  So you have MLM duplication.

Even though some Network Marketers talk about MLM duplication, most don’t have a clue what it is or how to get it. Duplication is not when 1% have success. That would be duplicating failure. And that is what most people are experiencing from those so called duplicable MLM systems that have never duplicated success.

Finding Prospects and Keeping Them

October 7th, 2009

image

What’s the first thought that comes to mind when you have a Prospect?
Most people would say :
- You have to take a look at my business. It’s awesome, cures every illness, will solve all your money problems.
Now STOP and think for a second what happens when you approach people in this fashion…

Before you know, they’d have put on their running shoes and you probably wouldn’t hear from them again.
You must first realize that people join people NOT companies. Relationships are the key.

If that prospect doesn’t trust or like you they will never join your business.
I work with Mentoring For Free which is a FREE online Community of Network Marketing Professionals                                                      to helping anyone in Network Marketing to find success.

As our name states, Mentoring For Free, everything we do is exactly that, FREE.

I would recommend you start by downloading our FREE eBook at http://tinyurl.com/SucceedMLMe-BookTraining.

Once you are done reading it, I will share the complete training schedule and more great tools that will help you.

Experts say that if you deal with people in your business, you certainly need this FREE book.
Most people that download and read “Success In 10 Steps” save years of Failure and Frustration

when building a Business from Home, but some don’t because some just don’t value their Success enough to read it.

To Your Success,
