Have you ever heard anybody say something like: “I know you think, you heard what you thought I said, but I’m not sure that you realize that what you heard me say, was not what I meant…….” or something like that. Communication is something that we learn from infancy and yet communication has probably been responsible for more war than any other reason in history.
People starting off in network marketing often go into it thinking that their MLM success strategy is to convince a prospect into joining their business. This is often viewed as an aggressive act by the prospect since they are often put under great emotional pressure to agree to the “amazing offer” they are given. The new marketer believes that he has got to win the prospect over, by extolling in depth the many virtues their product or service or business have to offer.
Mark Joyner wrote an interesting book on how to increase your success in sales called “The Irresistible Offer”. Anyone that has been in sales for a length of time understands that there are very few top salesmen that hit the top income levels by accident. The Network Marketing MLM Home Based Business Leaders have found a formula that they apply daily to their business daily and they repeat this system over and over again. Some of these leaders may not even be aware of what they are doing that carries the most impact on their success what they are doing it just the same.
In his book, Mark speaks of the irresistible offer requiring three components:
David Wood is an inspiration to everyone wanting to build a business on the Internet. David is a very successful Internet marketer. He had been successful in the past working warm and local markets and after taking an extended break from his business he found himself facing the prospects of having to get a job or rebuild his business. He chose a new company that he felt would be a good fit and one that he believed strongly in.
With only a couple hundred dollars in his bank account he launched his new MLM. This time he did something he had never done before – he chose to build his business using the Internet. He had no coaches in his upline to teach him what he needed to learn. He quickly realized however that he would need help if he was to achieve his goal, so he reached out to the industry leaders and within 3 months was getting more traffic to his site than many that have had their sites up for years.
I saw this video this morning and decided this was something we all need to understand. Being Successful is not a cake walk! Millions are starving on this planet and millions are unemployed, millions that have physical handicaps, learning handicaps, not born on the right side of the tracks, grew up in tough neighborhoods, were abused as kids, and yet people from all of these groups of people are having success today and you can too. Now go make it happen! Enjoy the video…….
Leads can be purchased for less than a cent for email leads and as high as $25.00 or more for leads that include full contact info. The price usually is based on exclusivity; in other words the price of your leads often hinges on how many times the lead is sold. Some lead gathering methods can be costly and so the end purchaser or purchasers cover the cost.
In the past 5 years the landscape has changed dramatically with regard to using the Internet to build a profitable business. Courses abound on how to do this or how to do that using Pay Per Click, SEO and other reaching out ways to drive traffic to your website. Even the idea of what is the best website to attract prospects has come under close scrutiny and the experts all agree that a Blog is by far the best approach.
I recall living at home with my parents (both whom have gone to be with the Lord) , they always had a garden. Personally I always looked at gardens as a big waste of time. I could go get a bag of peas from the grocer that would have taken me a couple hours to pick and shell not to mention all the time it takes to cultivate, fertilize, water and pull weeds. Gardens just felt like work and I could always think of more productive ways to spend my time.
The same happened in my Network Marketing / MLM Home Based Business with Leads. I started with people I knew and then after about a year I turned to leads to build my MLM. I have paid out close to 200,000.00 in advertising in the past decade and 6 months ago if I had stopped buying leads I would have found my personal recruiting come to an immediate stop. The idea of creating my own leads brought me back to my garden days with my Dad – No thanks! Toooooo Much Work!!!!!
I recall when I joined my first MLM and I was told to create a list of names of people that I would want to have as business partners. I gave it a lot of thought before I wrote any names down because I didn’t want to put the wrong people under me. I knew that once I was promoted to the next level I would be starting over again positioning people under me. The comp plan paid better after I got promoted so I wanted to make sure that I put my best people under me there and then that way they could recruit like crazy and make me rich.
Wow! Were those first 2 years amazing times? I learned that just because someone says they want more from life than an 8 to 5 job doesn’t mean that they are serious about change just because they join a Network Marketing / MLM Home Based Business. Over the past decade I have learned that the quality people will come to you over time though they may not join your organization directly below you. I also learned that the people you thought would tear it up didn’t and the ones you thought would quit became MLM warriors.
“There are many who are living far below their possibilities because they are continually handing over their individualities to others. Do you want to be a power in the world? Then be yourself.”
- Ralph Waldo Trine, philosopher and author
This is your life and it is not a dress rehearsal. You can choose to be an extra or you can choose to be the star of your movie. I recommend you play the lead because you are worth it.
Leaders in Network Marketing / MLM Home Based Business focus on the positive and not the negative. They acknowledge that negative forces exist in life but rather than focus on the negative possibilities they choose to look for the positive potentials a negative event might have. One famous person used to say that is absolutely great regardless of the calamity because he always felt it made his company do a better job at serving his customers.
You attend a meeting at a local Hotel and people wearing trendy clothes and have great presentation skills come to the front of the room. A hush forms and the speaker welcomes everyone to the Network Marketing / MLM Home Based Business meeting and compliments them for taking time out of their busy week to attend a meeting when they could be at home with their family. The speaker promises to be brief. He cracks a joke and everyone begins to enter the “MLM Trance”
The speakers starts drawing circles and lines and tells you that with you signing up one person and only one person each month and teach your team to do the same thing and you will have thousands of people in your organization and live on “Happy Ever After Lane”. Here is the reality – It is not going to happen. Oh yes there will always be point 0001 % that will say in 12 months how they now drive an Audi TT and they have more money than they can spend but it is more likely that you will find gold in your shower than create a 7 figure income from most MLMs in under 5 years.
