Give MLM Help To Prospects With Emphathy Not Symphathy

You need to give mlm help to your prospects with emphathy not symphathy because with emphathy you are putting yourself into your prospects situation and with symphathy you are feeling sorry for what ever happened to him. Most people in network marketing do not know this difference and that could destroy results because they skip the obvious factor in building a connection. Emphathy can also be used by telling a story about your experience or someone elses experience. You will annoy your prospect with symphathy because you will be a part of the problem not the solution. And everybody knows if you feel sorry for someone else you make the situation worse. Furthermore they can get you into trouble for reasons that you do not understand and you are not in rapport. And everybody knows that when you are not in rapport you are not friends.

Apply the use of emphathy today when building your business and then your prospects will duplicate that just like the Mc Donalds franchise is duplicatable. My friend and mentor Ken Klemn talked about that topic last night on our Mentoring For Free Coaches corner call.

Here Is A Story Of Sam Walton That Relates To Best Price Of MLM Product

Everybody knows that Sam Walton saved retailers like Hersheys Chocolate, Nestle Crunch etc a ton of money. Sam Walton saw that they had expensive overhead and saw an opportunity for them and himself creating a win-win situation. He contacted them and told them that he is going to sell for them their products and will pay them a percentage of whatever is being sold. Sam Walton opened up Wal Mart stores across the nation to do just that. What was the result? A bunch of companies saving their money on their overhead and getting paid lets say a huge percentage of the sale of their product, due to Sam Walton storing it in his Wal Mart Stores. Because he was brilliant to ask MANY other retail stores as well to do that, he became one of the richest guys in America.

How does this relate to network marketing. Lets say for instance company A's product price is $80 and company B's price is $40. Lets say you get 5% commission on company A's price which is $4.00 when the product is sold and you get 40% commission on company B's product which is $16.00. The reason product A's price is more expensive than product B's price is because A has to pay overhead like for employees, the lear jet, the cars and the show offs. Company B cares about you and will pay you the most for when retailing products.

Companys that say that you do not need to retail, stay away from them. My friend Richard Dennis used to only retail products and a good customer asked him if he could turn himself into a distributor. That one distributor exploded his business.

Everybody knows that "If you help other people get what they want then you will get what youi want" Zig Ziglar so when you give a product to a customer that will change their lives you will have met that fufillment.

And when a customer who becomes a distributor spreads the word to others on what the product did to him, then he is branding himself and will build it big. Especially when he is in Company B.

Leverage Off Of MLM Superstars In Network Marketing Today

Whether you are a newbie or not do yourself a big favor and leverage off the superstars. Today I was listening to a conference call done by my good friend and mentor Ken Klemn. This exclusive example that he gave of Michael Dlouhy our good friend and mentor putting a picture of him and Tom Big Al Schrieter on the landing pages hit the nail on the head. Back on December 12, 2004 the e-book Success In Ten Steps came out online. Michael Dlouhy then was not known. To make himself known on his blogs and on the articles that he did, he put the picture on it for edification due to the fact that Tom Big Al Schrieter was a legend in the industry. I have taken pictures with Tom Big Al Schrieter as well as Jerry DiRhino Clark, just to leverage off of them. Leveraging off the legends like those two guys as well as Art Jonak tells everyone that this guy does not have to be the expert but he can lead me too them. It is the rainbow connection. Here is the line of the song, "Someday we'll find it the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me." Usually the word someday means never but many struggling network marketers never knew that their lack of success in this industry is not their fault. Thanks to my good friend and Mentor Michael Dlouhy!!!
Michael Dlouhy is a visionary because he had done consulting for other network marketing companies after using the five pillars and he wanted others to avoid struggling for good. So he has been teaching networkers online for the past 6 years and built other mentors from that. He also applied the principle of John Maxwells book title Developing The Leaders Around You.
I myself leverage off of Michael when I speak to a new prospect like this. Michael Dlouhy had built from nothing to number one in his network marketing company in just 32 months by using the Mentoring For Free System. He had joined over 100 companies in the late ninties to determine what works and what does not work. Michael has done full time income for the last 18 years and he has been for 30 years in the network marketing industry. He never made a list of his friends and family and he never bought leads.
Remember this story just like the lyrics of the song Lean On Me by BB King. "Just call on me brother when you need a hand, we all need somebody to lean on I just might have problem that you might understand we all need somebody to lean on." Always include stories in your conversations with prospects no matter if you are gathering a few customers or finding brilliant leaders to work with. People forget what they hear but they will always remember a story that changed someones lives. I learned from Keith Schrieter that all the songs are stories and people do not forget the lyrics of the songs so therefore stories sell and are not forgotten either!!!

Top MLM Secret Revealed Today Is No Substitute For Activity

All the top money earners in mlm and in any other profession out there have taken activity over and over again. For instance Michael Jordan he got cut from his basketball team in highschool. That of course would be pretty discouraging for anyone to quit. But god was testing him out right there to see how badly did he want to make it. But Michael Jordan gave up all of his free time just to be the best shooter and get better andc better at it. Arnold Schwarzenneger the former bodybuilder who wanted to make the movies, broke into the gym back in Austria because he wanted to be the champion. Many people these days think you have to be born with natural talent to do something. That is not true. Nobody on earth was born in the hospital with a necklace around them called all star. Those people who are child prodigies and born with special talent frequently take things for granted and think they are shortcuts. It is so not true. I remember when I was playing back in highschool basketball the coach criticised someone when he finger rolled the ball that he had not come to practice. And on another occasion the coach mentioned to someone that to make the mistakes in practice not in the game. The biggest failure out there is when people do not make adjustments and keep doing what they have always been doing. Unfortunately they are missing out on the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. If you have any unfinished business use the Slight Edge principle by Jeff Olson plan, do, review and adjust. My good friend and mentor Sarah Thompson mentioned that when doing advertising people do not retest ads. Even if you are good at doing what you are doing there is an old saying that there is room for improvement. You have to get better at it. Just like your mind is a muscle and your brain dies out if you do not use it, just like kids who do not read a book for the entire summer.

Linda Dlouhy describing how Michael Dlouhy can give you mlm help.

Hello Everybody:

Lawrence Bergfeld here. This is my friend Michael Dlouhy's wife Linda Dlouhy describing how Michael Dlouhy can help.


"Michael is a very sincere stalker. If he thinks you should be doing network marketing, he'll hunt you down. He'll track you down. He does that. And he does it in such a way you can't be mad at him because he obviously cares so much about you. "I would NEVER just plow into a room and say, "Hey! I'm Michael Dlouhy! Let me tell you about THIS!" He'll do that. And you WILL listen, for whatever reason you're compelled to listen to him.

"I was totally lost about MLM compensation plans. So Michael lined up apples on the kitchen counter to explain it to me. I'll never forget that. He finds a way to make you understand."

Linda Dlouhy's
MLM Success Story



Florida - I am the guru's woman.

I was born in Island Falls, Maine. It's a little ghost town now. We moved to Connecticut. My dad was sick. He died when I was 2 ½. When I was 11, we moved to Florida.

I had a severe case of rheumatic fever. We found a great doctor and a great hospital. I got better. I went to high school and met Michael. The Wild Ride began. I tell him he's Clyde, I'm Bonnie.

"I'm HERE! I'm HERE!"

Back before Matthew was born, about 24 years ago, we went home to Northern Maine for a family reunion. Michael & I laugh. There's a big marquee when you enter the state. It says, "Maine: The Way Life Should Be." Yeah. No jobs. Poverty. You freeze in the winter. You get one day of summer sometime in July.

We decided to climb Mt. Kitahdin. It's the highest Maine mountain , up at the end of the Appalachian Trail. Michael, of course, picked the fastest, steepest, hardest route up. And we only had a few hours of daylight to get to the top and come back down.

So up we go. And as you go, all the shrubbery and greenery get smaller and smaller and smaller. We actually came on the trail of a moose. We got the cameras out, but the only shot we got was all chocolate brown, the rear of the moose.

My husband was ALWAYS 20 - 30 feet ahead of me. It was my uncle Donny who pulled me and my mom and his wife and my youngest cousin up over the ledges.

But who's at the top first? Who's yelling, "I'm here! I'm here!" Take one guess. Pure Michael. Fast and furious on his way to the top. He's not a quitter. There's nothing he's ever, EVER endeavored in that he didn't finish. He commits completely.

Mentoring people is exactly where he needs to be. He totally loves it. He breathes it. He'll be there for you. When you call, if it's a bad time, he'll set you up when it is a good time. He's great with everyone. You can totally depend on him.

"Utter Disappointment" Wasn't Very "Utter" For Michael

He wants YOU to feel HIS passion. Doesn't matter to Michael who you are, a CEO or a stay-at-home mom. Race, religion, color, nothing matters. If this business is YOUR passion, and you want his help, he'll mentor you until you're where he is in this industry.

I listen in on the Coaches Corner call he does on Saturday night. I'm amazed. I'm amazed at the people and how they bare their souls. I see their growth. I hear them in the beginning. Then I hear them two months later. It's truly amazing for me.

I haven't been as involved in the business as Michael. We've had 2 children, a big house, dogs, cats, a horse … the occasional alligator. But we're downsizing now.

I'm excited that I'll be more involved and can spend more time with Michael. Our son & future daughter-in-law are buying a home. So the schedule is changing. I'll get to work with Michael.

When we started in MLM back in the 70s, my thought was, this is totally unheard of. I was raised where you worked a job 9 to 5. There wasn't any other way. The whole idea was new.

Our first company was a stepping stone that didn't last long. But Michael totally believed in network marketing, even 25 years ago. He's stayed right with it. There've been ups and downs, for sure.

You may find this hard to believe, but I have seen Michael in utter despair, complete disappointment. I used to tell him this little cliché: "You know, you can't climb a slimy wall."

Many, many years back, in a long-ago network marketing business, we got undercut by our sponsors. They flat-out betrayed us. The effort, the energy, the relationships you thought you were building, they crumbled. It can leave a hard, bitter taste in your mouth.

But Michael has this uncanny ability to just keep going. He picks himself up and does it all over again. He's not a quitter. He's compassionate. He's dedicated. He's committed. There's no swaying him. Michael will follow through.

And so he said to me, "Linda, I know. I know as well as I'm sitting here, looking at you, taking this breath of air, THIS is going to work. I can make this work. I know the right company is out there. I know the right people are out there. I'm going to make this work."

And I believed him. And he was right.

Personally, I have more of a sense of commitment direction than Michael does. I'm the list-maker. I know ahead of time what my plans are every day next week.

He Makes Up His Own Rules

Michael, on the other hand, is totally spontaneous, "Let's do it now. And not just this - let's do these other hundred things now, too." He has a level of excitement that is beyond belief. I do my best to slow him down at times. I put my 2 cents in when I'm not sure whether it'll be accepted.

Michael ignores rules. He takes a positive, positive approach. I'm amazed at some of the people he mentors. You hear their negativity. It could be a 20-minute phone call or 3 hours.

But he completely turns them around with his positive attitude and positive thought on where they can be, what this industry can do for them. If they just believe in themselves, then they can do it. He feels like, with his background, if HE can do it, anybody can.

Michael Is a Very Sincere Stalker

If he thinks you should be in network marketing, he'll hunt you down. He'll track you down. He does that. And you can't be mad at him because he obviously cares so much about you.

I would NEVER just plow into a room and say, "Hey! I'm Michael Dlouhy! Let me tell you about THIS!" He'll do that. And you WILL listen, for whatever reason you're compelled to listen to him.

I was totally lost about MLM compensation plans. So Michael lined up apples on the kitchen counter to explain it. I'll never forget that. He finds a way to make you understand.

Michael used to be a one-man-show. No more. He has so many people that are a part of him. He eats it, drinks it, lives it. Once in awhile, he even sleeps it. It's everything to him.

He Loves Working With YOU

He knows there are a lot of people now with very true, deep feelings for him. There are no smoke & mirrors here. Michael is real. What he does is real.

He had the vision before, the dream. But discovering his own total WHY was the turning point. It's a complete sense of satisfaction for him at this point in his life to know he's doing good, making an impact on other people. He gets that positive feedback through cards and email and phone calls.

It's wonderful. I support him totally. I'm a "stealth listener" on his calls. I do the feedback after-hours. We talk about this person and that person. I have great compassion for those who've been burned so badly by people who've been false to them.

I value our friendships. We have so many friends, it's hard to keep up with the schedule. And I love it. People are wonderful. And they're all so different.

His Motor Never Stops

Sometimes I tell Michael, "You know, there are only 24 hours in a day. You're trying to put 30 in there. Stop it!" And get him on a trip or at a convention? Unbelievable! There's just no way to keep up with him. He goes around the clock.

The demands on his time are enormous. I've got to teach him how to use the microwave. All he can make now is popcorn. He needs to learn to do some of these one-step meals.

Sometimes he'll start a call and 4 hours later he comes out, rubbing his eyes. I try to remember he's going to get dehydrated talking like that. The lamps, the computer ... it's an incredible amount of heat. Not to mention the heat Michael gives off!

I believe in this with all my heart. My core, my inner happiness in life, is the relationships we've built. Michael tells me I'm Yellow. I'm not going to disagree with him. If he's happy with me Yellow, I'll be Yellow. Once in awhile he sees the Red & Blue in me.

You can call me Yellow, call me Green, call me Blue. I don't care what you call me. If I like you, I like you. I have this inner sense, a silent reading of people. I instantly know about them. We have hundreds of wonderful friends that Michael has trained. It does my heart good to hear what people say. Michael feels wonderful.

I love it that Michael moves apples around on the kitchen counter to show me how this business works. The people, the industry, where we've been, where we're going, I am right there. It's an incredible ride, a wonderful journey. We've made phenomenal friends along the way. And it just gets better. It's excellent.

Don't let bloody MLM vampires suck your veins bone-dry. Drive a silver spike through their heart. Get Michael Dlouhy's FREE new e-book: "Success In 10 Steps!"

Procrastination Is The Silent Killer In Network Marketing Today

People in network marketing today have a tendency to get ready to get ready. They do that because they want to avoid pain. There is an old saying that if there is no pain then there is no gain. So what is one of the biggest mistake that networkers make when building their network marketing business? They do things really haphazardly and treat this business as a guessing game. Networkers fail to learn from their own history, due to the fact that they have been told to often the word "you can't". And people these days have been acting just like followers with respect to the status quo. Why should one do that when obviously your boss does not owe you a thing and you obviously do not get something for nothing? Makes no sense. If you put out mixed message into the universe then you will get nothing.
When you ask someone something and they tell you that they will try, then tell them forget about it. Because the word try means that I just don't want to hurt your feelings and I do not want to committ. Those people will drag you down in your business that its not going to be funny.
So if you have that little negativity running in your mind then change your thoughts just like you change your friends. Because if you do not then you will have dumped your life.

How To Prevent Your Best MLM Business From Being Wrecked

When you have the best mlm business then most people who know your name will try and destroy you. How do you prevent this? Well first of all you need to say your self talk 500 times per day in order to block the garbage from entering your head to begin with. You must be the person who makes decisions quick and change them very slowly.
Here is a word picture to help you understand it. Think about when people are jealous of you when you have lost weight. They will invite you more frequently than you expect them to go out with them for a good steak. The invitation does not come from desperation but it comes from jealousy. They want to ruin you as a person so that you can be like them and here are the consequences for choosing to give in. The people whom you think are your friends are really your enemies. Because if you get sick from having the wrong food and they told you to eat it, they will not be there for you when you are in the hospital. And if someone tells them to come visit you they will say, I can't make it because I am too busy.
Also remember if you are not used to being successful and have hung around the wrong crowd it is going to rub off on you. Here is another food for thought. Think about robbers for instance who steal things. At first they hate crime. But then as they do it more and more and go in the negative direction of the Slight Edge it becomes automatic and they are criminals without even knowing it, due to the fact that their subconcious mind which is dumb as a box of rocks can not tell the difference between a truth and a lie.
If someone orders you what to do visciously you'd better learn how to say NO just like you say no to drugs. If they do not stop it do not walk away. RUN!!! If you only walk your brain is going to be filled with their junk and get you in trouble, due to the fact that its just like a computer. And as everybody knows we save files onto the computer and onto our hard drive. It really is no different.
Lets say you have to put up with negative people. Only open your mouth when you have no other choice. The rest of the time close your mouth. Because you do not want to have those people around in your life due to the fact that they are too toxic to be around. They want to make you ask yourself the question of "Who do you think you are?", "Why do you need that boat?"
Make your decisions today quickly and change them slowly. Copy the person whom you would like to be. Just like when it was the song "Proud To Be Like Mike" on the radio back in 1992, when Michael Jordan was the star!!! If teenagers back then did what he did for fun back then, so can you!!! In fact if you are not having more fun building your best mlm business in network marketing today, you are doing it wrong!!
See you at the top!!

Personal Development In Network Marketing Today Itself Is Not Sufficient

My good friend and mentor Tom Big Al Schrieter says that person development is good to have and it makes us better people. Everybody knows that personal development and no action brings no results.
For the people who sharpen the ax too much, consider this. You go to a party and you are looking for a date. Lets say you do not know what to do, you will ask ridiculous question is, so how old are you? how much do you weigh? are those your real teeth? That scares the ladies away and they no longer want to have anything to do with you. When a women decides to make room for a man in her life, she does it by what the man says within the first 30 seconds. And she tells herself afterwards something either positive or negative.
Everybody says that one negative thing destroys all chances for success in life, however can a negative person still get a date at a party? Yes of course, if he knows what to say and do with the girls. Think about most of the girls who hang out at the football game, they are cheering their boyfriends who are for instance the all star quarterback and the linebacker etc. They frequently can be macho and put others down during the football game, however when it comes to girls, they are the ones who know what to say and do.
What if there was no personal development around, what would we do? We would figure out what to say and do just like we would study for a test. I bet you that if we took action right away we would get results much sooner than if we were just a couch potato sharpening the ax over and over.

Are You A Wandering Generality Or Are You A Meaningful Specific?

Everybody knows that without using your 24 hours wisely you will be a wandering generality. All of the people who had built empires like Bill Gates, Michael Dell and Robert Kyosaki had the same 24 hours as we had. They asked themselves this one fundamental question that most people miss: "Will this activity moving me closer to my goals or further away from it?" No matter how boring or dumb the task was, they did not leave this step out of the equation. Zig Ziglar mentioned that we need to overcome obstacles if we want anything in life. Specifically if we get driving directions to a wedding reception and follow it, why can't we follow directions that will one day lead us for every day being a birthday? It makes no sense. This challenge is not limited to network marketing but too many people think of it just like people thought it would never be possible for everyone in their homes to have a personal computer. One basic mlm truth is that you have to time yourself with respect to how much time you spend on the phone with your prospect. For the first time it should be five minutes but NO longer than ten minutes, due to the fact that your prospects time is limited. If he thinks he has to spend more time than that, he will have exited the building!! You need to know how much time you speend per day on Facebook, how much time you will devote for a blog. Think about the minutes you waste doing non productive activities during the year. Lets say you waste for instance 5 minutes per day, and you work the business 350 days of the year. That is 1750 minutes wasted. That is almost 18 hours right there. You could have had 17 more hours of prospecting for new prospects. Maybe during those 17 hours you could have had one of your five key leaders whom would build you an empire and you would want to go on a one month cruise with. Its sad that we do not pay attention to the small things. There is an old saying that small things make a big difference. However, if you are not part of the solution by taking action now then you will remain part of the problem. Lets just do it and do it and do it and be part of the solution.

See you at the top!!

Quitting Too Soon In Network Marketing Today Is Crazy!!

If people quit too soon in network marketing today they are crazy in the first place. They have brought with them into the game the excuse of quitting. People have quit their jobs, the gym, church, marriages and sometimes they committ suicide.
Here are some excuses why people quit. When people got started they were not clear what they wanted in the first place. Their why was only 70% and their obstacle was 72%. They threw their words in the trash by saying that they wanted more money and they wanted to be successful. That is too general. Everybody says that you have to have goals that are specific with deadlines or else you are day dreaming. In addition if your why does not make you cry, that means that you don't have one!
People think that they will be spoonfed with the silver spoon and the oatmeal in their mouth. In other words they have no common sense. People subconsiously think that it is net play marketing and not network marketing. If they want to have financial freedom they need to disregard the dreamstealers and other peoples opinions. They think they know that they live their lives but they let other people run their lives just like a micromanager does. There is an old saying that if you are influenced by other peoples opinions when you decide to do something, you will not succeed in any endeavor.
Naive networkers assume that cooking their breakfast in the microwave will make them rich. They are foolish enough not to ask themselves "Do I really know who I am following?" They are following people who never built a business or people who heard stories about it. What if someone who never has been a doctor and comes up to you and says. "I am going to teach you to be doctor and tommorow morning you will have your first patient whom you will operate open heart surgery?" Of course you would not listen, but the funny thing is that people are too trustworthy of the ones who do not know what they are talking about. They fail to tell themselves everybody knows that if you have not done something you can't ask other people to do it. If bells were ringing in their head, they would STOP IT and think for themselves.
Practice self-development just all the other self made millionaires have. You want to have bees attracted to you like honey to make the big money!!! Whoever stays closest to the fire and takes the most massive action using the things that work today wins!!
See you at the top!!

Determine What Is A Pyramid Scheme Or Sleep With Bubba Tonight

Imagine joining your first network marketing company today. You are excited like a baby just right after your friend had shown you the business and the products that are being sold are coffee. You join because of what your friend said and did, not because of the product. Lets say a coffee costs $6.00 which is of course way more expensive than the ones being sold at Dunkin Donuts. But you are too easily influenced by your friend. Here is what you and your friend nor your upline know. The government did not care about what is a pyramid scheme 15-20 years ago as he does today. Would you buy this product if there was no compensation plan attached to this product? Do you get paid for recruiting prospects into the business? If the answer to the first question is no and the second question is yes than it is a pyramid scheme.

Stop Struggling Today MLM Help Is Here Whether You Are Far Or Near

Everybody knows that there is mlm help with Mentoring For Free. However some people still do not get the mlm truth they need to hear. Why is that? The reason is this. Many people have been screwed up all these years ever since they were ten inches tall, and they came into this industry with this garbage make up stories. Well my good friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy had his check stolen twice in his career. On both occasions he built to the top of the payplan only to find out that his organization was wrecked. He then found out that it was not an accident. So then what he did was join one hundred companies to see what worked and what did not work. And he found out that policies and procedures were written by the attorneys to protect the company owners from getting into trouble for doing illegal things. Most network marketers know that their policies and procedures are over 10-100 pages long. However they do not bother paying attention to it and neither does their upline. When on occasion a distributor asks what is it the upline mistakenly says do not worry about it without even knowing the consequences. If you are someone who is making lets say $1000 per month it is trouble of course, however if you are a top money earner it is even BIGGER TROUBLE because if the company needs to have a bigger building or a fancy car just to show off to their friends how good they are. I know of a company where it says in the policies and procedure 29 times termination. And when the company requires that you sell each month by saying ongoing sales is another sign of trouble, due to the fact that you gather customers one time and get paid on what you did once forever!!! The ongoing sales is not the name of the game, you are not a grocery store where you go to work every day and get paid, and if you do not show up you get nothing. Do yourself a big favor if you need any help reading your policies and procedures contact us as soon as you can. Why waste time going through the same troubles Michael had? Makes no sense.
In addition buying leads is a scam as well. When you buy leads you are literally getting tainted blood into your life. Those people are the ones who have been resold, and resold and in their eyes you are a follower not a leader. People have goals, desires and dreams. Why bother doing it, if 95% of the worlds population does not like being sold? No sense. You obviously do not receive something for nothing. Rather study people with the Colors To Success. You will find out what turns a prospect on and what turns him off. It is not exclusive to mlm, you have to know it in life as well or else people can keep a distance from you and you will not understand why.
For you to get a stream of prospects when you are not at your computer, you gotta learn not only keyword research and getting your article #1 on google. But you must have backlinks as well. It makes your rank highest on google, but more importantly it brings more traffic. Lets say you go away on a weekend trip, you have leads waiting for you to call them when you return. It is what happens today.
If you are doing what has worked five years ago and ten years ago along with your home meetings and hotel meeting you are just wasting your time. People will say I am busy and it will not duplicate.
Clear your mind today with our 30 day mental cleanse on Wednesdays due to the fact that there is an old saying that to make more you have to become more. You have to become the person whom prospects will want to be attracted to and ask you to sponsor them, NOT vice versa. Abraham Lincoln said he would spend twice as much time sharpening the ax then using it. That is personal development time for 4 hours and business time for 2 hours.

Network Marketing Belief With Prospects Correctly Today

Everybody knows that many network marketers procrastinate because they do not know what to say and what to do when they come in contact with a prospect. Think about when a guy goes to a party and is looking for a date. It takes 30 seconds for the lady to decide whether she wants to make room for him in her life, just like choosing whom to make room for in the car. You may feel guilty that you did not have a chance to tell her that you will be the fabolous man or about your business opportunity, but put your emotions aside NOW. You hang up within 30 seconds of a telemarketer calling you up, so ACCEPT it that it is the same thing in real life. Another example is when you are jogging with someone else. When you get ahead of him in jogging it is the same thing as when your prospect lost your attention and turns it to a different topic. Also do not waste your time with the old method of FORM it does not work because you will have blown your opportunity to give your presentation and you will look like a fool in the prospects eyes when he has to ask you the question. "Is this an interview?"
Here is what I learned from my good friend and mentor Tom Big Al Schrieter on his CD on How to Manipulate Prospects for fun an profit. For example I have learned this 30 second sentence from that CD. "Many people are financially strapped and do not have the money to take a vacation, however some people have figured out a way to earn an extra paycheck so that they can go on a Carribean Cruise. When the prospect does not believe you for whatever reason make sure that it is done in the first 30 seconds or else you are not working your business right. If there is no mlm belief then and only then at that point you know you did your job. However if he says tell me more and you see that he is not busy then tell him, I got a good story takes about two minutes wanna hear it? But when he is busy ask him when will you have two minutes? If he says I don't know. Just get his contact info and give him your card. Then let him know that you will contact him in a few days.

Just Follow Successful People Because Something For Nothing Does Not Exist

Here is an mlm secret revealed just for you. Observe how successful people act. They serve others by giving value to others without expecting anything in return from anyone. Everything what you have in life has a recepie. Do you want to have tasty food? Then here is the truth. There is no such thing as something for nothing!! You are going to have to plan your day the night before you go to bed. It has to be intelligently planned out because if you skip a crucial activity your business will decline. If we obviously get during our day jobs paid for the 8 hours to please the boss, then what reason do others have to get without giving? The answer is that most of the time they had spent time with someone with the entitlement mentality and the person they respected subconciously taught them how to lose at an early age. Napoleon Hill discusses it very well in Think And Grow Rich. Regardless of how much money you have or do not have, if you are just handed over money just like a waterfall then how can you keep it? There is no way!! Look at lottery winners they had lost everything as fast as they got it due to the fact that they could not say no.
Remember that you must have your money blueprint with you at all times and determine how much money you want to earn per month. If your blueprint is $60,000 per month and you earn $70,000 per month, then your earnings will fall back to $60,000 per month. And as you build your business by getting to know, like and trust people do not take for granted the quote. "If you help other people get what they want then you will get what you want." Zig Ziglar

Get This MLM Truth To Your Head Or Exit

A big mlm truth is that flash success in this industry rarely happens. And when it appears it is for a reason.
Frequently you will hear a speaker at a training opportunity mention that after he just got started a few people joined him and because he became the top money earner within a month, they needed a truck to bring him his gigantic bonus check.
It may have been true that the speaker reached the top of the pay plan quickly, but due to the fact that the time was limited for the meeting, the whole story was not told.
Here is why the speaker could have built a downline in just 30 days: She had been for the last two decades in mlm and knew a lot of people who knew, liked and trusted her. Those people had years of experience in network marketing and as a result they sponsored many people fast.
The second reason why this could have happened is because she had gone door to door in her hometown and each person she spoke to joined her program. The attendees at the meeting were out of luck again because of the time limit because of this: The speakers mom was the mayor of the town and owned every house and the tennants could not say no to her daughters advice.
The third reason why this might have taken place is because the speaker worked for the last four decades in the community. She also was the gymnastics teacher. The entire town knows, likes and trusts her. As a matter of a fact she used to teach most of the residents of the town. People in this case as well felt obligated to say yes to the person who previously made them clean the erasers.
Is there really such a thing as instant flash success? Absolutely not!! One has to earn their success in network marketing. Your business will grow as fast as you do.
If the people who you know wish they never met you, there is just one way to get back on track and make it a smart new beginning. Put the past behind now and build new relationships. Then and only then your business will grow.

Get Excellent MLM Results By Taking Correct Action Today

Taking correct action to get mlm results means doing the things that you do not want to do but you do it anyway. Everybody knows that many people these days treat mlm as a hobby because they worry what this person says and that person says. And as a results they get sidetracked.

There are two people person A and person B. They start out the business on the same day. 6 months later they earn the same amount of money $1000 for instance, 12 months later person A earns $5000 per month. But after 24 months person A is earning $50,000 per month!! While person B still earns $1000 per month. Why did this happen? This happened because person A was all in. He went to all the events applied what he learned within 24 hours of returning home and he did not deviate from the system his mentors did to be successful. Person B on the other hand probably created a webpage, did filing and focused on things that he did not get paid for. That is why his check remained the same while person A's check exploded!!!

Remember this story as you build your business. See you at the top!!

This MLM Secret Revealed Will Make You Or Break You

There are two types of people in the world, those who get ready to get ready and those who take massive and immediate action. Those who get ready to get ready are the ones who spend their time doing things that they do not get paid for to avoid talking to people. Those who take massive and immediate action use their cell phone alarm clock to stop the bleeding on the things that they must get out of the way. Lets say in building your business you hate making new profiles for backlinks. Ask yourself this one question regarding your future whether you think it is dumb or not. Would I like to do something about it? If yes than do the activities first that bring you in traffic like leads and then do the activities that will take time to set up. After you get your leads, contact them and then book the appointment for the next meeting then do your backlinks webpage. If you have a very busy schedule and are complaining that you do not have time, take out fifteen minutes per day to do your backlinks even if it is the most boring task on earth. Use the alarm clock when to go and when to stop. That way you will know you are on your way to get more and more traffic. Even if it is redundant to do you will get more frequently on the first page of google with backlinks and you will stay their longer.

How To Determine The Best Network Marketing Company

Here is how you determine the best network marketing company. The president of your company must be willing to listen to your ideas on how he and his staff can improve the organization. The people running in the company can not have any greed and ego by bragging to everyone what they have built. There is an old saying that you can not fool most people, because it will bite you in the back. Without the distributors gathering customers and sponsoring people who repeat the process the company is nothing. The only responsibility the company has is to send you a check each week along with products each month, nothing else. Everybody says that the company owners are lying through their teeth when they show off their fancy cars. Due to the fact that they did not do anything.
My good friend and mentor Michael Dloughy used to do consulting for network marketing companies and here is what he found out at the time about a particular service company. At the time there were 100 people in the company who signed up for the service. Within 90 days 96 people were gone due to the fact that the people have not used it. He then told the people do get the workers to stop playing solitare and contact the people who signed up for the service and explain to them what would happen to them when they used it. They paid Michael for the consulting but by the time the workers contacted the product users it was too late to get them back. As a result of that the company owners got into Massive debt due to the fact that they paid too little to the distributors in the field and when the distributors were gone, the owners could not afford to upkeep the buildings.
If it had been distributors first company second then none of the damage would happen. They should have had low overhead and pay most of the money back into the distributors pockets!!

Here Are Three Large MLM Success Secrets For Sweet Victory

To get your sweet victory in mlm you are going to have to apply these three mlm success secrets or else you will get nowhere fast! They are a long term vision, delayed gratification and compounding.
A long term vision means that you must be creating your own tommorow right this minute. Ask yourself is this activity in the direction of making my dream become reality? If it isn't drop it that very second and do something else due to the fact that the defintion of insanity means doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. You obviously live once and why should you be wasting your time doing things that you don't get paid for. Do yourself a big favor and ask yourself where do you want to be in three years. Because every single day you are making decisions that will affect your life ten, twenty, thirty years down the road and those decisions will affect generations. In this business you do not need to reinvent the wheel because many people despite what the critics and naysayers said, became superstars!! If you choose to reinvent the wheel your upline is going to choose to work with someone else.
Delayed gratification is doing yourself a favor and paying the price today to have massive success tommorow. That means going on 90 day runs and doing these two things: Gathering a few customers and teaching other people to do the same thing. It does not matter if you have a family or not. Do not use that as an excuse not to do your business. If you are making excuses you will be trading time for money, which means that you have to work overtime and on weekends which means less time with your children. Too many people take for granted that we obviously live once. Do not despair if you failed in the past. Your past is dead. The way that you need to go about taking action is by doing these for steps. Plan, do, review and adjust. The people whom you want to approach in this business are the ones who are looking for a change in their lives and the ones who respect you & vice versa. Do not assume because someone has money that he is happy. People who are working as financial analysts and doctors make good money but they have to work their butts off and can not spare a second on the phone for their family at work or else their boss will kick them out. Have your list of people whom you want to contact the night before because if you sound like you are finished cramming with that or anything else, people will notice it on the phone and it is going to be game over for you. That is with planning. Building rapport is establishing a relationship if you do not have one and showing them the business. Review is doing what you have done and adjusting is learning from your mistakes and not doing it next time around. Remember when you apply those steps and sacrifice yourself today so that every day can be a birthday then you will say to yourself I am glad I did. However, if you put it on the backburner then the price of regret weighs tons and you will say that I wish I had.
Compounding is starting a new representative off correctly meaning that in his first 48 hours you give him a plan for getting his initial investment back so that he should get free autoship each month. Lets say your company asks you to get three customers on autoship, ask him to make a list in categories. Who does he know who wants to lose weight? Then have him contact that person and approach him like this: I just found out how we can lose weight by eating cookies, if you ever would like to know how I will be glad to tell you meanwhile please pass the peas. Have him get his first three customers on autoship and then he will not have the distraction of spending money for over head. Then he will be likely to sponsor someone very soon and teach him the same thing because he already has a story to share. Lets say it happened twice a month for the next 12 months. That will be a total of 2048 reps on autoship. With compounding your goal is to have an organization like Tom Big Al Schrieter where 95% of your organzation does not know your name!!
Use these three mlm success secrets and build your organization once and big!! See you at the top!!

Build Your Network Marketing Group And Think Like A Baseball Coach

As you build your network marketing group and sponsor people you have to think like a baseball coach that puts together the line up. You want to think of your mlm group as the line up because you want to know whom should you spend the most time with. Think about a baseball coach he wants to win the game. In network marketing you are obviously a coach and therefore it is no different So you want to have to spend quality time with the people who have the most guests. They are going to most likely explode your business due to the fact that they see what is going on with their future sponsor. In the back of those peoples minds they are thinking if he can do it so can I. You want to approach this method using the KISS way which is keep it simple stupid. That means that people who do not have a college education can do it and you are keeping this game simple so that everyone is going to have a shot at achieving success. If they are leaders they are going to take what they heard from you and run with it within 24 hours. That is due to the fact that the longer you wait your enthusiasm decreases and your fear increases. So if they do it very quickly then they will work faster.

You Can Not Have An Agenda In Network Marketing Today

You can not have an agenda in network marketing today or else people will avoid you. Your prospect is interested only in himself when you speak to him. If you brag about yourself and your company it is going to sound really foolish. That is the same result as if you would brag about yourself in the real world. You have to be right in the NOW when you are dealing with your prospect. His time is very limited and you are not the first person whom he spoke to. Even if you have not even made a dime in network marketing yet, if you do act like the top money earner at all times without needing the money and only being a friend to your prospect then you are way ahead of the game. Randy Gage did not wait to be successful to approach the professional who had lots of success in his business. In fact he did not earn ten dollars. But he approached them as he would anyone else. He felt that it did not matter if he had money or not. Randy stepped out of his comfort zone and the successful people were drawn to him because they liked him and trusted him.

Whenever you talk to your prospects and like them you need to mention to them in the first conversation besides your story that you want to have coachable people who will follow instructions and people whom you want to go on a 30 day cruise with. If your prospect does not have those traits when he enters the game just let him go.

Champion MLM Secret Is To Be A Critical Thinker By Thinking Outside The Box!!

The number one mlm secret is to be a critical thinker. Everybody knows that successful people do tasks to build their empires while unsuccessful people watch television while having their Jack Daniels Whiskey. Henry Ford had to tell the college graduate engineers to produce the V8 engine but the graduates whined that it was impossible. By the third time Henry told them to do it, he had enough of talking to the wall. Because of that he told them to go mastermind with the workers on the assembly line. They masterminded and teamed up with the assembly line workers and the mission was accomplished.

What does this have to do with us? We are told by our friends and family that it is not normal to be involved in a network marketing business. What we should have in mind is how do they know? Have they done their research? The answer is no. It is unspoken but they want to save you from being successful because they themselves are not. Just like when one crab tries to escape from the bucket the other crabs drag the departing back into the bucket.

In life as well we have to also think outside the box. We can not listen to anyone who just tells us what to do, we have to ask ourselves. What value are we getting out of this? Because they can sabotage our business by sucking our energy with their convincing ways.

The Most Fundamental MLM Truth Is Avoiding The Management Trap

The biggest mlm truth is to avoid the management trap or else you can't build a business. It does not matter if you have been around for over a decade. This is a simple business but not an easy one. Many distributors make it hard on themselves by doing activities that will make the prospect tell him that he did a great presentation, however the prospect could not duplicate what he did. The worst part of it is if it frequently happens then you have created yourself a job. Another big mistake that distributors do is spend too much time with the prospect on their first phone conversation. By spending 20 minutes with a prospect on the phone, you have ruined the whole thing. Regardless of how enthusiastic you are, you are being judged as a desperate person. It is no different when you are on someones back with respect to things outside of mlm.

In order for this relationship business to work out, if the prospect has a question do yourself a favor and send him to the website for the answer. He can have a very busy schedule and if he keeps on doing what he does he is going to get the same results. Your job is to be a professional pointer by letting him know where he can look up the answer quickly.

If the message has been spread by 20 team members per day with each person speaking to two people each day for a month and lets say half of them joined you. That is 1120/2= That is 560 people in your organization per month.

The Top Network Marketing Secret Is To Use Specialized Knowledge

For you to build your home business big you must use specialized knowledge just like Christopher Columbus had. Everybody laughed at Columbus when he told them the world was round. Specialized knowledge was not a guessing game for him. It was him studying tradewinds to determine which way the wind was blowing. The kings did not believe him. He told them not to send their ships to certain locations due to the fact that he was able to determine where were the hurricaines and they were not. When he found out how the wind blew he sailed his ships in the right direction. It was a big risk. His ships were very small they were the Nina, The Pinta and the Santa Maria. I don't know how many people went with him on his ships but it was very crowded when the folks were on board. Mission accomplished and he made it.

My friend Michael Dlouhy had emphasized this afternoon an application of specialized knowledge with respect to network marketing this afternoon. Before he began Mentoring For Free, he built to the top of two network marketing organizations and both of them have crumbled because of the company owners greed and ego by stealing his downline and his bonus check. Those two occasions occured within a five year period and he figured that you can not get hit by lighting twice, in order words it is not an accident that it happened. Here is what Michael has done.

Michael Dlouhy has joined over 100 network marketing companies to determine if they were legible or not. Dlouhy had found out that the owners were making money off the representatives backs by selling them cassette tapes which worked five years ago, ten years ago but not today. And he had studied the policies and procedures meaning that they can terminate you anytime if they wanted to. Also he spotted companies where people would not buy the product in the company. If you are going to buy a product that a customer needs every month like vitamins it has to sell every month or else people are not going to buy it just so that they can get an extra check.

In any area of your life it does not have to be in particular you mlm opportunity, you have to possess the specialized knowledge to help your client out. Lets say for instance your career is a bookkeeper, you must know how to do the worksheet to prepare the financial statements for the company. You also must be able to analyze them but more important to the company it has to have positive cash flow or else the company has to get rid of its employees because then they can not pay them their salaries.

Trust Is First MLM Compensation Plan Is Second

Before anyone decides to bother looking at your mlm compensation plan they have to trust you or else they will put their headphones on. Trust is doing exactly what you say that you are going to do and not doing anything different. Trust is doing things that are ethical in business and of course things that are socially acceptable. It only takes one offense to ruin your reputation. If you are dishonest or are unreliable not doing what you said, people will not believe what you say because you did not deliver. If you are needy which is calling people when they do not return your call for whatever reason, you can not be trusted either. People avoid others who are too predictable. Since network marketing today is no different from dating on the internet and off the internet we must take a look at women. The biggest complaint women give when surveyed is dealing with that needy man, it makes her look bad. There is an old saying that men were always the ones who would go out and work while the women would always raise the children. Even though women are working today, subconciously they follow that same philosophy with respect to dating and marriage. One guy who was married and needy was told by his wife, that he needs a mother not a wife!! You can not trust a needy person to be around because he is a distracting influence.

You want to get to know the person by persuading him which is asking him questions about him, because what is the most important thing that people like to talk about? The answer is themselves. So if you ask them about how long they are in business, what they do in the real world and if they have kids. Then they are going to want to open up to you. Remember even if you have an excellent conversation the first time you speak with a prospect a rule of thumb is to give a prospect three chances. If after the first conversation he is not committed then forgive, second time say ok, third time. For the first time you contact him is about a 48-72 follow up period, second time four days later. Third a week later. Then six months.


These guidelines on trust will work only if you use it!!

How To Avoid Being Needy In Network Marketing Today

Here is how you avoid being needy in network marketing today in person and on the phone.
You plan what you will discuss with your prospect. What questions you will ask, what answers you will give to him, how you will end the call and when you will follow up. Do it before you do the task because then you will sound confident in your ability and the prospects will not make excuses to do something else.
When you want to give a presentation to someone else then do yourself a favor and ask them these two questions. For instance would it be okay if you did not have to work on weekends? If they say yes then ask would you like to do something about it? If they say yes then tell them your story which is "I got a story takes about two minutes..want to hear it? In the end ask them is there anything else you would like to know? If they say no then thank them for their time and move on. Lets say for instance they do not have the time to hear it or are interupted then say good bye and give them your business card no matter how busy they are. But do not return a few minutes later because then you will be caught being needy, just like in baseball you get caught stealing second base by the second baseman.

Network Marketing Today With A Plan Of Action

In network marketing today you organize the knowledge that you learn and put it into a plan of action no later than 24 hours of acquiring it because 70% of the information is fresh in your mind. If you do it after 24 hours the knowledge gets lost and your enthusiasm decreases and your fear increases. Because fear is one of the negative emotions described in Napoleon Hills book Think and Grow Rich and one thought brings more negative thoughts and destroys success, there is no other way around putting the specialized knowledge into action within the 24 hour hour rule.
Here is a word picture for you to keep in mind when acquiring the specialized knowledge. Pretend that you are a baseball umpire. You have to know when to call a ball and when to call a strike during a nine inning ball game. During the game you squat hundreds of times and you can not focus if your knee hurts. There is an old saying that what you focus on expands. And if you say in your mind "my knee hurts, my knee hurts," guess what is going to happen? Your knee will hurt even more. You must be in the NOW, focusing on the task at hand 110%. If you do not plan on doing that before the ball game, just like before you begin a science project then sit on the bench and twiddle your thumbs!!
It is pathetic that people would hesitate to ask a question these days. They are giving themselves permission to die for hunger. Why do people care so much what other people think about them? Here is my thought on that. Everybody knows that it is this unspoken rule that their friends will get rid of them. Back in the 8th grade at age 14, I remember classmates telling each other the word "Rejected." same goes here subconciously as an adult. I am going to confess right now that I was rejected as a kid and will say that if someone else is unable or reluctant to accept you for who you are they are not your friends anyway. The real reason I recommend that I stay away from people who are not your friends because during the difficult times, they are more likely to give you more trouble than anyone else does much more than your fair share.

Whoever Learns The Skills For Network Marketing Today Gets The Worm

There is an old saying that the early bird gets the worm, especially in network marketing today. Think about the song back in the 80's We Are The World and the beginining of the song "There comes a time, where the heat is surfing cold, when the world must come together as one..." now since there is a recession going out there its the case. There are thousands of people begining in network marketing today leaving Corporate America behind and the point is that the ones who adapt fastest are the survival of the fittest and get ahead, while the other people are sitting back and crying after their employers. To cheer up the babies you have to sing to them "Hush little baby don't say a word, momas gonna buy you a mocking bird." If they sing that song over and over again like they repeat a story it will subconciously absorb itself and people will think again and say to themselves oh, oh we gotta learn new skills or else we will be left back!!!

Only You Are Responsible For Your Success In Network Marketing Today Nobody Else

Everybody knows that a leader in network marketing today is responsible for their own success and nobody else is. Although all network marketing millionaires had a mastermind group to help them be successful, they did not transfer their responsibility to someone else. They were teachable and they listened to the leader whom they decided to join based on know, like and trust. And all the top leaders in mlm knew when they signed that application that they would be successful because of their efforts and they would fail because of their lack of work.
As you grow into that leader that others are going to approach, you are going to run into people who want you to do the work for them. You can not afford to do that. Because you will then turn into a follower due to the fact that they are going to drag your energy down and it will take you out of this industry. Look at what goes on in conventions, they give special dinners for the leaders who have earned their way into success because they qualified for a certain pin level and they take them on leadership trips for the exact same reason. Since network marketing is a business where people without any college education or even highschool diploma enter, there are people who have been willing to learn something new and embrace it. Nobody was born as a salesman in the hospital.
Those people who want to drag you down in your business are the ones who want you to give them the fish. There is an old saying that you give a fish a man you feed him for a day, and when you teach a man how to fish then he can fish on his own for a lifetime. The ones who drag you down are looking for a reason to quit. They have quit marriages, they have quit school and they are a professional quitter. It is just like a person who has jumped from job to job for some lame excuse.
If you have not already consider this thought of working with leaders do it today not tommorow. Tommorow never arrives. Just ask them what did they do to be successful, and if you can not find a leader who you admire then do yourself a favor and read books about Lincoln on Leadership and Rich Dad Poor Dad. Because Robert Kyoaski is someone who had made millions in the early 80's and lost it all. Became homeless and lived in a car for a while and had on occasion a job that he can put food in his stomach. In the next few years which was from 1985-1989 way before the internet he became a millionaire in real estate.
We have it much easier with the internet regardless of any business. So if we do not take advantage for the success stories on line, the e-books on line and success at our fingertips, we will regret this lost opportunity.
Every Wednesday I am working with a mastermind group and I am part of the 30 day Mental Cleanse done hosted by my good friend and mentor Michael Dloughy. Abraham Lincoln once said that he will sharpen the ax for four hours and do the work for two hours. That means working twice as hard on yourself than you do for your business. Because you want to have other leaders attracted to you, not the scrubs!! Just like if you ask your friend on the basketball team what happened to the scrubs. He will tell you that they cut them.

The Top MLM Truth Is That To Be An MLM Champion You Must Sponsor Up

The top mlm truth that is the rocketfuel for your business is to sponsor up. If you do not then you are missing out big time. You want to have people who have been more successful than you in their profession because that shows that they are the most coachable people you will ever talk to. They understand business and they know what it takes to be successful. Since they seeem to be the type who have good people skills due to the fact that they can take their people skills that they have developed over the years in their real world career and transfer them over to network marketing. And they are the ones who use their free time wisely. They do not just hang out with anyone whom they have met. They get to know, like and trust the person before they decide they even want to have a second meeting with them. Also the people who were successful in their profession know what it takes to get the job done and they are used to meeting deadlines since they have been told so many times to do so by their bosses. The fact that they are good at following instructions tells you that they can visualize best what their life will be like in five years. Here is a key question that will strengthen your relationship with them. If time and money was not an issue, where would you go what would you do? And if they are a successful mortgage broker who earns a lot of money and has little time with their family they would reply and tell you spending more time with their family. So than they would put a minimum of five hours and maximum ten and do the activites that are necessary to get one person a month. The prospects will be attracted to them because they are able to make the time to build their business while persisting at their full time job. There is an old saying in network marketing today that part timer attract part timers. So if one part timer can do it, so can another one!!!

Even if you have not made your first ten dollars in the check let them know that they can do it as well. Do not be ashamed of yourself that you are not successful. There is a difference between being poor and being broke. Being poor means that you can not afford it and it is a bad thing because you are speaking your reality into existence. And when you do that you make the situation ten times worse than it already is. But when you say to yourself that I am having fun building my business then you act like the top money earner than you draw more people to you. It is dumb not to act that way because in other businesses it is more expensive to join and a lot more capital is required. Stop caring about what other people think. Because if you do you are going to come accross as needy and nobody wants to have anything to do with a needy person. They want to have someone around who has confidence!!!
