Building Relationships

A Simple Formula

A Simple, Powerful Formula

Later in this post, I’m going to give you an amazingly simple Network Marketing Success formula that will help you create massive wealth. But first, let’s preface it first…

In the self help circles, there’s a saying that goes “Take the average of the incomes of your 5 closest friends and you get yours.”

Coincidentally, all highly successful Network Marketers say that most of their income comes from just 4 to 5 leaders in their organisation. [click to continue…]

Rebuilding Community

In my last post, I talked about how the top earners in the Network Marketing profession only have 3, 4 or 5 leaders in their downline who produce most of their volume. This is the power of forming close relationships in business and there are more than enough network marketing success stories to prove it.

Let’s take a look at where we are today. We have more entertainment and information than any person can handle. We have more technology at our disposal than ever before. Most of us in the Western world don’t have to do much physical labour anymore as we mostly do knowledge based work.

But even though we have a lot more “stuff” in our lives, something’s not quite right. We are generally less happy today than we were 20 or 30 years ago. Why is that? [click to continue…]

Network Marketing

Build this to get Big in MLM!

The history of Network Marketing is just fascinating to me. When network marketing began in the 1950′s it was very much a direct sales business. Back then, MLMers would literally go door to door getting customers for laundry detergents and multipurpose cleaners.

There was much less emphasis was placed on sponsoring. Independent reps would buy their products from “direct” distributors who had achieved a level where they could deal directly with the company. Direct distributors would have a truck load of products shipped to their home!

Thankfully, MLM has made much progress since then. Every independent distributor deals directly with their own company and there’s no need for huge inventories. [click to continue…]

Here are some forms of marketing that don’t duplicate well in MLM:

  • Pay Per Click advertising. In fact, pay per click advertising is a full time job where you’re hunched over a computer monitoring all of your keywords, and the bid prices on each of them, split testing ads and landing pages. New people are not going to learn this skill in a reasonable time.
  • Renting email lists.
  • Buying leads.
  • Hard core Search Engine Optimization. Try teaching this to a new person and he’s going to have a miserable time learning it, because first of all he has to become a “guru” and write good articles and then about certain HTML tags and link building, etc…

Let’s be honest. These are just not going to work for people who have little or no industry experience. [click to continue…]

The Only 3 Reasons Prospects Will Join and Stay With You in Business

Build Know, Like and Trust

I was thinking as I sat in front of the computer, and a thought popped into my head really intrigued me…

Network Marketing is a fascinating industry – At one end of the spectrum, we have multi-million dollar leaders who have built huge organisations and maintained them over decades, earning millions upon millions in passive income.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are the hitters who able “sell” to masses of people, but can’t keep anybody. They tell you that there’s no such thing as residual income in MLM anymore, just piddly downline checks, and there’s a way better “get paid today” deal.

Quite a striking difference, but why so? How can these two types of people who have the same opportunity have vastly different results? [click to continue…]

I used to think being associated with a heavy hitter was a good thing, because I saw them as successful business builders. At least in the pictures they show you, they dress for success, they drive the best cars (usually a Mercedes or a BMW), they live in mega houses with luxury furniture. They walk around with their chest puffed out and they speak with an attitude.

I used to think being associated with heavy hitters was a good thing because I believed that some of the “success” that they displayed would rub off on me. Many other people I’ve met used to think that too. But let me tell you, it’s not a good thing, because a heavy hitter cannot help you become successful.

A heavy hitter does not care about legalities. A heavy hitter does not care about what’s right or wrong. All that a heavy hitter cares about is making money, and they don’t care how they make it. They have big, big egos. They can sell and they can close. But… the majority of people will not be able to do business their way. [click to continue…]
