Have you Asked Yourself the 10K Question about your MLM?

When we start a job or a salaried position, we know what our hourly wage or our annual salary will be before we start.

When we start a home business, however, we rarely ask that question, and we should! We should know how haed we’ll need to work to achieve our goals.

Michael Dlouhy has taught us to ask The 10K Question:

“How many active distributors do I need in my business to generate a walk away residual income of $10,000 per month?”

There’s a good friend of mine that was in a business and discovered too late that it was going to be almost impossible to reach his goals. Bob wished he had asked the 10K question before he started.

If you don’t know the answer to that question in your present business, find out before you waste five years as he did.

If you are considering starting a business, ask the question. If your sponsor or upline or company rep support can’t answer you, RUN! As Michael Dlouhy says, “Run far and run fast!”

If you’d like some help to calculate the 10K answer for your company, we will be glad to work with you. We can also help you analyze your company’s policies and procedures to see if your business is protected for you and your family.

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,

Cristiana Martinez
