"Who Do I Know?"

In this mlm training article, we are going to go over the contact list. This is where you start "Digging for Gold" in your network marketing business!

Every name that you know ...]]>

The question all new Network Marketing Distributors ask when they get started is:

“Who Do I Know?”

In this mlm training article, we are going to go over the contact list. This is where you start “Digging for Gold” in your network marketing business!

Every name that you know is a gold mine. And most never dig it. This article will help you understand where the gold mine really is in your relationships.

INFERNO Secret:

It is NOT who you know. It is who your friends know, and then who THEY know, and then who THEY know, and then who THEY know.

It is called “Generations” in a memory jogger. You MUST dig into the generation structures of your memory jogger, and understand that it is sometimes 2-3 generations deep before you strike gold.

Your friends are a valuable resource to your dream, and many will help you build it if you ask them. These are people you want to begin sharing the life-changing message and products/services of your mlm company with immediately.

You will want to write down at least 25 people to start. And then build up to a list of 52 names, and eventually 100 or more.

Why 52 names?

There is nothing magical about the number 52, but it is used to help create a mental picture. The number 52 represents a deck of 52 cards. With your mlm program, you can reach upper network marketing leadership levels with the right leaders.

So picture yourself with a deck of 52 cards. You know that somewhere in that deck there are 4 “Aces,” and you need at least 3 Aces to maximize your success initially. You don’t know where the Aces are, but you know they are somewhere in the deck.

Imagine turning those cards over systematically one at a time, searching for those Aces until you find them. Go through your list of 52 names one at a time Just remember that there are also a couple of “Jokers” in every deck!

It may take one person 37 cards to find the aces, another 45, and then another all 52. But the aces WILL show up!

INFERNO Secret:

If you continue to flip the cards over, you WILL find the aces. If you continue to talk to people, you WILL find the aces.

This next step should be done with your sponsor face-to-face or on the telephone.

You will find that there are basically three people you will be talking to:

1) The people that are Motivated.

These are 20% of the people. They are motivated to grow, improve, and to increase who they are and where they are going in life. They will be very interested in what you have to say.

2) The people that are Curious.

These are the 30% of the people. They are curious about what you have to say, and curious about finding out more about your products. Many of these folks will end up being customers as well as distributors in your mlm business.

3) The People that are not interested.

These are the 50% of the people that simply are not interested in change and growth, and will not really listen to what you have to say. Get referrals if possible, sell them your products, but move on! They like where they are in life, and want to stay there for now. That could change. Don’t take it personally.

You want to find the people that are motivated for your network marketing business, and talk to them. They are the ones that want to do something with their life. The curious will want to know, and the uninterested will want to be negative. It will take a lot of conversations to find the motivated, but you will need a tool that can help you construct your mlm contact list.

INFERNO Secret:

Quit looking for the people you are looking for, and start looking for the people who are looking for you.

Here is a VERY brief MLM Memory Jogger List that we used for years and the complete listing had over 1000 “joggers” to help the new distributor remember who they have forgotten.

INFERNO Secret:

To double the size of your list immediately, ask one simple question: “Who Do I know that they know?”

WHO DO YOU KNOW?

Who’s dissatisfied
Money motivated
Who’s out of work
Family members
Who Is laid off
Who’s in MLM
Who has lots of time
Who’s your doctor
Reads self help books
Your parents’ friends
Who does your taxes

Who’s their own boss
Who are your friends

Who you like the least
Who is disabled

Who sold you your car
Who likes team sports
Works on computers
You met on a plane
Who have you helped
Who builds web sites
Got a new computer
Who likes to garden
Who you met at a party
Unhappy w/ income

INFERNO Secret:

Word Pictures can increase your recruiting ratio by 50% overnight!

Ok... what are they?

They are phrases or questions that create a mental image or picture of the prospect...]]>

One of the most powerful secrets to recruiting in network marketing. Do you use them?

INFERNO Secret:

Word Pictures can increase your recruiting ratio by 50% overnight!

Ok… what are they?

They are phrases or questions that create a mental image or picture of the prospect obtaining or creating what they want in their life, and then igniting it with Emotion.

INFERNO Secret:

The power of this recruiting secret is in how the mental picture makes them FEEL. You see, too many distributors DISPENSE, DISPLAY, and DISPOSE when recruiting…

We call it the “3 D’s of Mediocre Recruiting”:

The 3 D’s of MLM Mediocre Recruiting

1) They Dispense information.

2) They Display the program and products.

3) They Dispose of any real chance of recruiting the prospect because of the lack of MAGNETISM.

Why?

INFERNO Secret:

They are too focused on recruiting the prospect for THEIR reasons, not the prospects. And there are phrases you can use that literally will create a magnetic environment when you recruit in your Home Business.

I used these phrases for years, and many prospects were nearly crawling over the table to get an application.

What are they?

These Phrases or questions simply paint a picture or help the person imagine themselves having what they want in life, and magnetizing it with FEELING.

The “5 MLM Recruiting Phrases that Paint MAGNETIC Word Pictures”.

1) “Imagine the feeling of….”

Imagine the feeling of being in that house you were talking about…how would it feel? Imagine the feeling of having the time you want to spend with your kids…and spending all day with them in the park…

Would that be great? Imagine the feeling of owning your own home based business and having control of your life…what would that mean to you?

2) “Can you see yourself..(being…doing…having…)”

Can you see yourself finally having the success you have always wanted and feeling incredible? Can you see yourself in Hawaii with your spouse and it costing you nothing? Can you see yourself having more freedom than you ever have had with a home business?

3) “How would your life change if…?”

How would your life change if you had more time to do the things you want? How would your life change if you had the financial freedom to live the life you want? How would your life change if you had more time to spend with your kids…quality time they crave?

4) “What would it mean to your family if….”

What would it mean to your family if you had more money to create a better lifestyle? What would it mean to your family if you were to be able to buy a bigger home? What would it mean to your children if you were at home working in Network Marketing while being with them?

5) “Where would your life be if….?”

Where would your life be if you were to have a six figure income? Where would your life be if you had the money to do what you wanted, not what you had to do? Where would your family be if you could take them on vacations you wanted to, not what you could afford to?

BONUS Question:

“Lets be Honest….Don’t you and your family deserve… the best life has to offer?”

Don’t you and your family deserve… a better lifestyle?

Don’t you and your family deserve… what you truly want, not just what you can afford?

These phrases are Magnetic and :

The Secret of “Already There” in a Home Business.
INFERNO Secret:

They make people THINK! And what you are doing is putting themselves in a mental picture of being ALREADY THERE, and enjoying the life they truly want…and FEELING it in their hearts…

And then your job is simply to say… “That’s why we need to talk…I can help you obtain that in your life….and so much more…..with what I have discovered…in Direct Sales and MLM”

(Discovered is a MAGNETIC word…HOT!!!)

Many MLM Consultants are actually Network ...]]>

Consulting in MLM has gotten to be a big business in Network Marketing. Being one myself, I have found that there are good ones out there, and then there are well, not so good ones. You must know what to look for, before you spend a dime with them.

Many MLM Consultants are actually Network Marketers that say they are consultants. You must understand that consulting is a career and profession that demands many things, but being a Network Marketer does NOT automatically qualify one as an expert. Even if they have had great Success in MLM, that may be due to being in the right place at the right time, with the right people. That happens in Network Marketing often.

Here are the 5 things to look for in a good MLM Consultant:

1) A Track record that is available for Inspection.

Any good consultant, no matter the industry, will keep their track record available for any kind of inspection by a future client. They have nothing to hide, nor do they want to. The results they have accomplished speak for themselves.

Ask them if they have some clients you could talk to, or get some kind of testimonial. Track records in consulting can mean the difference between spending money and getting little, or spending money and getting a lot. Check what they have DONE, not what they said they have done. You will be glad you did.

2) Check for their Credentials.

What kind of solid credentials do they have that would warrant you spending money with them? What kind of education about MLM do they have? What kind of experience do they have in Network Marketing? Do they have the right business experience? Have they ever run a business before? What kind of degree do they have if applicable?

Credentials are important in modern day consulting, and not only for you, but also for the results you seek from an MLM Consultant. Most consultants have a portfolio they can show you. Ask for it, and study it. You will be glad you did.

3) Look for Professionalism.

Professionalism is a MUST in any field of consulting. Do they come across as a professional? Do they speak as a professional? Do they communicate in a professional manner? How do they handle themselves? How do they handle other people? Do they return phone calls in an efficient manner? Do they keep their phone appointments? Are they prepared for the appointment? Do they follow up in a professional manner? Are they pushy, or have your best interests at heart? Do they come across as honest and with integrity?

Being a professional speaks well of a consultant. But here is the KEY- are they CONSISTENT in all of the above? And do they do it with a smile on their face? These questions will tell a lot about an MLM Consultant and how they will handle things in any future endeavor.

4) Do they ask questions that are focused on your problem, or questions that are focused on being a consultant?

There are many questions that consultants ask that are all part of being a consultant. You want the kind of QUESTIONS that zero in on the solution to YOUR problem, not what they have learned to ask as a rote exercise. You are looking to hire them to solve a problem, not be a consultant. Make sure their questions are focused on moving you forward, not just creating conversation.

Brutal? Yes, Honest? Totally. MLM Consultants are not cheap, and if you are going to spend money, make sure that you get what you pay for, and get your challenge resolved. That is what MLM Consultants get paid for- to solve problems, not to engage in a fruitless boiler plate exercise.

5) Have they actually spent any time working Network Marketing and understand the culture, the philosophy, and what the REAL dynamics are to create Success in a group, and an MLM company?

I am amazed that there are “consultants” out there that have never spent an hour in the MLM field. They have never recruited anyone. They have never sold a product in MLM. They have never held a Company Event for a team. They have never done a presentation around a kitchen table, or a home meeting. They have never explained an MLM Comp plan to people before, nor do they know how. But yet, they sell themselves as an MLM Consultant.

Make sure that there is SOME experience in the field, as that alone brings a wealth of knowledge that many do not have. It is not easy building a successful MLM group and business. If you have not done it, then you are coming as an MLM Consultant, from more of a position of weakness than someone who has, and can explain what it took, and how to do it. It makes a lot of difference in understanding the business of MLM as well.

Experience is a MUST and that includes also working in an MLM Company in some form. That can be as simple as being part of an ‘Inner Circle” team that was familiar with the workings of a Network marketing company. Having worked for an MLM Corporation is a big plus as well.

These are the 5 Traits you should look for in an MLM Consultant. There are more you need to consider, but these are the 5 MAJOR ones when considering MLM Consultants.

First, you must have a specific category of goods you'd like to sell.. You must enjoy what you're doing or it won't be w...]]>

So you’ve done some investigating into mail order and haven’t found something you’d like to sell. Here are some tips that should point you in the right direction.

First, you must have a specific category of goods you’d like to sell.. You must enjoy what you’re doing or it won’t be worth your trouble, so you should pick some category of goods that falls within an area of interest to you.

Don’t be afraid that the market might already be saturated; if a lot of people are already selling that class of goods, it’s because the market calls for that much product.

If you’re a hot dancer, you might be able to put together a dance course of dancercise program, or sell dancewear. If you’re into tennis, the number of gadgets for tennis players,, or in fact, any sport or hobby is staggering, and marketed correctly, most of them will make money. If knowledge in a certain field is your stock-in-trade, by all means, become a writer!

Books are probably the safest and hottest commodities you can sell by mail. There are trade magazines for virtually every kind of business and private venture and every private interest group or hobby in existence. Check your library for the name of these magazines, get copies of them by hook or crook, and find out what’s being offered to people in the industry.

Trade magazines are where new products are first introduced, and you can often get exclusive rights to a marvellous idea just because you were brave enough to ask.

One of the most important considerations is availability.

If you have exclusive rights to a product, you can virtually write your own ticket. Mind you, it must be an item in fairly great demand or something for which you can create a demand.

It should generally be an item you cannot buy in stores or cannot be bought in stores for the price you can ask by mail. If it can be bought in stores at a comparable price, then your offering should have some special feature about it that makes it unique. Don’t try to compete with retail outlets.

The next consideration is price and quantity.

You must be able to produce or supply yourself with the item at the very least at one-third of your selling price, and in most cases the higher your markup the better. The actual selling price must still represent good value to the customer, but don’t be too concerned about undercutting just yet, since the difference between retail and supplier’s factory-direct price is usually substantial.

In order to get the price necessary to provide a good profit margin, you should not have to buy up a factory’s entire production either. It should be possible to buy hundred or gross lots at a fair cost (if you’re not dealing in that kind of volume at some point, it won’t be worth you while in the first place).

If you are selling merchandise, you must have some sort of guarantee and be able to back it up.

A product that routinely breaks down before the warranty expires won’t do much for your image and will cost you must more than just a refund over both the short and long term.

If you are selling books, you can get away without a guarantee and in fact one of the most successful mail order firms in existence has made it a point of pride that they offer no guarantees at any item, even on a new publication costing $1,000!

Posters have traditionally been hot mail order sellers, but they have one very serious drawback: they require expensive tubes for safe shipping, and those tubes and the postage they require often cost more than the poster itself. Which brings us to the next point: how easily and cheaply… and safely can it be shipped?

The product must also be understood by the buyer before it’s actually purchased. Anything requiring a demonstration or great amounts of instruction in its use is better left to salesmen on the retail floor.

If you are selling direct from advertisements, keep the items under $25 unless they are well-known and exceptional products. When selling by direct mail, higher priced items can be sold since you’re able to take much more space to explain the article.

Finally, it must be something that is either used up, purchased repeatedly, can be accessorized or leads to the sale of another item, either from a catalog or future sales campaign.

The real money in mail order is made form repeat sales where the expenditures required to sell a given number of items is vastly reduced.

PROMOTION is the lifeblood of network marketing. Whether you are using online methods or of...]]>

The world of network marketing has many aspects, but promotion,
persistence, and patience are three key elements which are
vital to achieving successful results in a network marketing
program.

PROMOTION is the lifeblood of network marketing. Whether you
are using online methods or offline methods, or a combination of
both, you must constantly strive to get your offering in front of
a targeted audience.

There are thousands of published sources that deal with specific
methods of network marketing (both online and offline), but the
key point to be made here is that you must have an active
promotion campaign designed to bring in a steady stream of new
prospective downline members.

PERSISTENCE is a key element in network marketing success.
You’ve gotta “just keep on keepin’ on”, even though frustation
levels can be quite high at times.

After you have been at it a while, and have a downline large
enough to provide reasonably accurate statistics, you will
probably find that about 95% of your downline members are dormant
and do nothing at all. Its easy to get down in the dumps or take
it personally when you encounter so many “do nothing” people.

Therefore, it is really important work with and actively support
the 5% or so that are serious about participating. And clearly,
an active and effective promotion campaign will continue to
bring in increasing numbers of potential participants so that
while 5% is small on a percentage basis, it can still be a
sizeable amount from a pure numbers standpoint.

PATIENCE is vital. You can expect that it will take about a year
before the awsome power of geometric growth kicks in.

A classic illustration of geometric growth is the frequently used
penny-a-day example.

If you save one penny on the first day, and double it every
successive day, (day two you have 2 pennies and day three you have
4 pennies, and so on) how much will you have at the end of
30 days? The answer, to the astonishment of many, is $5,368,708!
Amazing, but true.

Its a sad statistic that most network marketers fail and it is
often traceable to the fact that they did not exhibit enough
persistence and patience to continue constantly promoting their
business for the year or so that is required for success.

Network marketers that stick with it for a year or more often end
up becoming the proverbial “heavy hitters”.

In closing, I would like to encourage you to increase your chances
of becoming a successful network marketer by always keeping a
clear focus on “the three P’s” of Promotion, Persistence, and
Patience.

Once they're pounding on your website door, how do you keep their attention ...]]>

How to people find you on the Internet? Through words, of course, and as such, carefully chosen words and keywords will determine your sites’ rankings on search engines and will pull visitors to your opportunity.

Once they’re pounding on your website door, how do you keep their attention and ultimately get the cash register to go ‘cha ching?’ Again, through the right choice of words.

You see, words prompt people to think, consider the options, decide and then take appropriate action. You’re hoping for a click on your payment button; not one that finds the prospective buyer gone for good.

Your web content must be believable and sincere or you may drive visitors out like golf balls! Be credible. Many sites employ the overzealous “wow,” “never before” exaggerations. Unless backed by research or documented evidence, most visitors will feel the claims are untrue. How would they trust you with their money?

Heed this advice when it comes to your promotions and your website: Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS). When writing, good golly don’t think that you’re Shakespeare! Use shorter words, sentences and paragraphs. Only one (1) idea per paragraph and utilize the inverted pyramid style of writing by placing the most important point or the conclusion first…NOT last!

Also, objective language will foster credibility rather than overly promotional hype which tends to show a pushy disposition. You need meaningful and/or clever headlines to grab the visitors attention. Your site is not a used car lot; get over it!

Please remember that writing might be fundamental, but it’s also hard work. Reading from a computer screen easily tires your eyes. People read a good 25% slower on the web than they read print material. That’s why web content must be shorter than print.

Studies also show that over three quarters of readers on the web tend to skim text rather than hang on every word. Highlighted text or bullets aid scanning. Web readers also do not have the patience of Job and detest obscure and complex text. You have less than ten seconds to grab their attention; less than a minute to develop an understanding of your product or service, so the best bet is to put the most vital information at the top.

In an average day, individuals suffer from information overload several times. On your website or in your promos, offer the information in tiny servings which are easily digestible…that again means shorter words, sentences and paragraphs.

Save your 50-cent words for your autobiography or eBook. When it comes to your business opportunity and, therefore, your website, think of the Weekly Reader back in school. The simpler, the better.

Do people that are successful in home based businesses share
some common characteristics and, if so, what are the primary
ones?

The dictionary defines successful as:

*having a favorable outcome, or

*having obtained something desired or intended, or

*having achieved wealth or eminence

When applied to a home business, I think the definition of the
word successful involves a combination of financial gain, time
flexibility, and being able to call your own shots (being your
own boss). The order of importance will vary from person to
person.

I have had the good fortune to be quite successful with
home-based internet businesses. No, that is not completely
accurate, I have had success because I have invested a lot of
sweat equity in my work at home business activities.

Having spent many years in the corporate world, I am a firm
believer in the team aspect of business and so I naturally
gravitated toward network marketing instead of trying to go
solo selling products/services and competing with the big players
like Yahoo, Amazon and the other well known names.

After doing considerable research, I found a very well
established and financially solid internet-based company to work
with. Using my business experience in the “offline world” and
developing my internet marketing skills on the fly in an OJT
(aka: on-the-job-training) format, things have gone very well and
I recently spent some time trying to identify some of the primary
traits that are common in my most successful team members.

Whether you’re breeding bird dogs, or race horses, or drafting
college football players to play in the NFL…it’s important to
develop “markers” that can be very useful in predicting success.
From my offline, traditional, business experience I have known
this from the get-go, but for some reason I was slow to learn
(or, was it re-learn?) that identifying the people with a high
likelihood of success is even more important when developing an
online network marketing business that depends upon teamwork.

Reflecting back on many of the truly successful people I have
worked with in network marketing, I made a list of the numerous
success factors that emerged when I assessed each person
individually. After compiling the list, three factors seemed to
stand out as being the most common success indicators. In no
particular order, these factors were:

*approaching the business with a long term perspective. It often takes a long time to become an “overnight success”

*exhibiting the tenacity of a pit bull

*being able to ride the emotional roller coaster (two steps forward and one step back) in the early stages of developing the business

Just because a person has these characteristics, it does not
ensure success and, on the flip side, a person is not necessarily
doomed to failure just because he or she does not possess all
three of them.

There are three "Maximum Factors" to learning that MUST be a...]]>

There are many factors that impact Success in life. And that is true for MLM and Network marketing as well. There are also factors with any good training program, and these ultimately will determine the success of your teaching.

There are three “Maximum Factors” to learning that MUST be a part of any MLM teaching process. If these factors are not met, then the training is less than what it should be.

You must have:

1) Education.

This will come from the mlm company Training Manual the company has made available to you . There are other trainings available as well, which all will help educate you. The Education Factor PROVIDES you the KNOWLEDGE.

2) Motivation.

This must come from the Leadership and teaching style, additional self-development teachings, as well as encouragement during the challenges. You must build you while you build your business. This factor ENERGIZES the KNOWLEDGE!

3) Activation.

This is where the teaching MUST get the new person DOING, not just Learning. You must ACTIVATE the new distributor the first 7 days to get into the game, and start the sharing process the first week. It is an industry fact that the distributors that experienced some form of success their first week, had a pattern of more success their first year, then those who did not. This factor ACTIVATES the KNOWLEDGE!

Educate!

Motivate!

Activate!

And the goal of PassionFire is to Maximize your Company Training Manual, the tools they use, your Leadership, and your MLM Success!

And yes, there is a whole lifetime ahead of you, but we must focus on getting you started the right way. There will be more articles coming! This process is simply to help take the Training Manual your company has, and Empower what you do with it, and GET YOU INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION & RESULTS!

The Road to Becoming in Network Marketing.

Let’s move forward, and talk about whom you are planning on becoming in your MLM and Network Marketing business.

Before you ever call anyone, or even start your learning, you need to be honest with yourself about your Role, and what you are going to be doing as you build your dream mlm business.

Many people never define who they are in this business, and what they are going to do. And because of that, never have clearly defined tasks or focus in building their dreams. This will create a “fog” or lack of clarity in which direction you are going to be heading and what you will be doing with the hours you have to work your business.

In your wonderful Network Marketing company, you need to decide which one of these roles you are planning on taking on and which is most comfortable for you at this time. Understand, you will grow tremendously in this business and company, but there always needs to be a starting point.

Which one best describes you now?

1) Retailer of the Products.

This is simply the lifeblood of our company, and is where you share the products with your friends and family, and build a business with lots of customers over time. The retail profits and commissions you earn can become a significant income.

2) Retailer of the Products who wants to grow into a Business Builder

Many friends that you share these products with will know someone, or even be interested themselves in working with you in building their own business and dreams. Never be pushy, but MAGNETIC, with excitement, energy, and passion as you develop a team who decides to duplicate what you’re doing. Serious part-time supplemental income can develop here.

3) Serious (Career) Business Builder

Serious Business Builders are the potential Super Stars of your business and company. And they are the leaders of your company. Their focus is amazing, and work ethic is strong.

And many Serious Business Builders grew into this Role, by starting as retailers of the products only. The Path to Success can be traveled many ways, but the key is to KEEP TRAVELLING THE PATH! Career incomes are made at this level.

Which one do you see yourself as now? There is NO WRONG ANSWER! You need to do what excites you most, and then simply start.

That’s it. Just START.

What excites you the most, and “feels right”, will be what you do initially the best. As you grow, you may change your focus and direction in MLM.

Once you define what you plan on becoming, and what role you will be stepping into, you do not have to stay there. You may start off as simply a retailer and share the products, and eventually grow into the company’s number one earner. All things are possible!

Decide what you are going to do, and then step into that role, and master it. You will be shocked at how easy it really is to create success in your life once you decide to.

Especially Success in MLM and Network Marketing.

Blessings…

So you have decided to begin working at home and own and operate a home based business. What next? What should you expect as a new home based business owner? What can you do to make sure the transition from having an outside job to a home based business easier?

It is important to have realistic expectations with a home based business. Most people don’t make a fortune overnight working at home. Having a home based business means that you will have to put in the time and effort to work at home to make it a success. Home based businesses are only as good as the effort you put into them. If your efforts are half-hearted, then your results with your home-based business will be also. Building a successful home based business that makes the money you want is going to take some time. However, if you believe in yourself and your home-based business, half the work is already done.

You can also expect that friends, family and former colleagues are going to display some skepticism, even scorn when you announce you are going to work at home. This is only natural, and it is up to you to prove to them that your home based business can be successful. Think how much fun it will be to tell them how relaxing it is to work at home, and having the flexible hours and disposable income with your home based business that they have only dreamed about. After your home based business is a success, you can expect others to ask you how you did it. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce them to your home based business opportunity.

There might be days when you get discouraged. When you feel that working at home is not for you. When you are doing everything right with your home based business but are not getting the results you want. Relax. These kinds of days happen to everyone, regardless of whether you are working at home or at some other job. The key is to take a step back and take a short breather. Do something you enjoy and get your mind off your home based business for a while. When you come back to your home office, you will feel refreshed and ready for any work at home challenge that awaits you.

After all, no successful home based business comes without some hard work and dedication.

Network Marketing is NOT an Illegal Pyramid scheme

Pyramid schemes and network marketing are not the same thing in ...]]>

There are so many misconceptions flying around out there
about what network marketing is or is not. Let’s take
a few seconds to review what network marketing is NOT.

Network Marketing is NOT an Illegal Pyramid scheme

Pyramid schemes and network marketing are not the same
thing in any way shape or form. A pyramid schemes is illegal
and network marketing is not. Pyramid schemes are illegal
financial engines where there are no products or services
being sold. Pyramid schemes are just an opportunity to
redistribute money from one person to another.

Network marketing on the other hand is a legal business
model where real and legitimate products and services are
distributed between large networks of customers.

Network Marketing is NOT a way to get rich quick

Although some may advertise certain network marketing
opportunities with a get in now and be rich in 5 minutes
type hype that never happens. If you ever hear of someone
getting into a network marketing opportunity and having
immediate success it’s because they had some sort of prior
experience that set them up for that success. In general it
takes 5 - 7 years of committed business building to get
those large checks that so many of use out there want. If
you want to get rich network marketing can definitely help
you make that happen, but I assure you it’s not going to be
as quick as you think.

Network Marketing is NOT just for salespeople

Some people may falsely believe that network marketing is
just for salespeople, but that’s just flat out wrong. In
the past, network marketing was much more of a salesperson’s
game, but today with the advent of the internet and
automated marketing system the system does the selling. All
an aspiring network marketer must do is get leads into their
system and then teach their downline how to do the same.
Today, network marketing really is much more of a sorting
process.

Network Marketing is NOT for lazy people

Many people get into network marketing with the thought that
all they have to do is find a couple of people and then just
kind of sit back and watch the checks come in. This couldn’t
be further from the truth. If you ever meet anyone that is
extremely successful at network marketing you will soon see
that they are some of the hardest working people that you
will ever meet.

Network marketing takes a lot of work. A whole lot of
work for what seems to be very little reward when you first
start. In order to truly be successful in network marketing
you must work hard to expose your opportunity to as many
people as you can. After the big checks start coming in you
can work a little less, but you have to work extremely hard
to get those big residual checks.

That’s it. I hope I was able to clear a few things up for
you.

If you’ve been in this business for any length of time, I bet you have heard a lot of recruiting trainings, and there are some incredible MLM teachers and Network Marketing trainers out there to help out.

But I think that in order to put all of the techniques and tactics out there being espoused into perspective, (and yes, I am an espousee — is that a word??? smile), it would really make a lot of sense to know what your Ultimate Objective is in Network Marketing. Wouldn’t you agree?

I sent out over 1000 emails asking a single question:

“What is the Ultimate Objective in MLM Recruiting?” And they went out over a period of 4 months. We got a lot of response, and some was amazingly off base in it’s answers.

Here is the breakdown as close as we could get it:

37% said that the Ultimate objective was to get a paycheck.

26% said that it was build a downline.

22% said it was to create financial security.

8% said it was to help people. (Great Answer!)

And the rest fell in differing answers.

Now folks, 63% said that the Ultimate Objective was to either get a paycheck or build a downline. Those are 2 VERY obvious results, but they are fruits of reaching your objective, not the objective itself.

When I was starting, my team got off to a blazing fast start and a blazing fast crash, because we lost sight of our Ultimate Objective in Network Marketing.

I had the honor of working with some folks in Canada, and one person in particular I’ll call him Frank, was doing all the right things, but was not getting the results he wanted.

Why?

He had lost sight of the Ultimate Objective of MLM recruiting.

And when he finally “Got It,” his business exploded.

The same thing happened out in Colorado Springs. I’ll call him “Dick”. He was struggling for the longest time, but when he saw and “Got It,” and focused on the Ultimate objective, his business exploded. Now he earns a 6-figure income. I am so proud of his success. He truly deserves it.

Whenever you do trainings or writings, some folks will “Get It,” others take some time and still some others never get it, as that is just the way the ball bounces.

But for those who are ready to “Get It” and explode your business with a little paradigm shift, you have come to the right place.

I have seen businesses literally explode in 90 days once this Ultimate Objective was understood and internalized then duplicated. And your business can, and will too.

So what is the Ultimate Objective of MLM Recruiting?

Collecting Decisions.

Not getting a paycheck, or building a downline, but collecting decisions. Plain and simple, and the truth.

Why?

You can prospect, approach, present, follow up and follow up some more, but if you do not collect the decision from people, you will be a nice person doing a lot of work in MLM and making NO money.

If you don’t FINISH what you started, you will never create a finish worth having.

Collecting Decisions is where you make your money, and doesn’t matter if it’s a yes or no you make money with every decision.

If they say yes, you make a commission and override on your downline. (Result) But if you get a No:

Great!

You still have gotten paid by sharpening your skills with that person, and remember:

Paychecks are temporary — skills are permanent.

The REAL value in this business is in the permanence. Ask any Networker Millionaire.

If you sharpen your skills to Razor Sharp, you can go anywhere in the world, and make a fortune with this Industry. Now THAT is career security!

So I have one question:

How many decisions did YOU collect today?

Your Ultimate Objective in MLM is to collect a LOT of decisions.

As my friend Jeff Roberti (50 Million dollar earner in this industry) says:

“I was no different from anybody else when I started except for one thing: I went out to collect a million dollars worth of No’s.”

That is called a HUGE CLUE!
