"Why Do Most Network Marketers Fail?"

2010-03-19T22:58:34Z

Network marketing is Simple, but doing the old way (i.e.
cold calling people) is NOT easy.

Don't kid yourself!

Let me explain my view of why network marketing is notorious
for having a 95% or higher failure rate..

Have you ever heard of Occam's razor?

It states that the simplest explanation for a phenomenon is
usually the best. We'll use this theory to explain why more
than 95% or more network marketers fail.

Ready?

Most network marketers fail because the marketing methods
that they are taught don't work 95% or more of the time.

So we're led to ask the next logical question, what are most
fledgling network marketers taught?

Well, I can only speak from my experience, but what I was
taught was to buy and cold call leads.

Now, I'm not going to say this doesn't work, but I will say
is that after six months of cold calling leads for 3 hours a
day with very little success this tactic doesn't work for
me.

Honestly, unless you're natural born confident sales leader
going into your network marketing career you'll probably
have these same results.

Don't get me wrong some people are very good at cold calling
leads, but most people aren't.

What happens to most people after they've spend thousands of
dollars on leads with very little success after months of
effort?

They run out of money. They get burned out and then . . .

They give up.

Another important factor contributing to why most network
marketers fail is the type of leads they buy.

Why does the type of leads network marketers use make a
difference?

Well . . .

Business opportunity leads, the leads most new network
marketers are told to use, are generic. These leads answer
an ad that just asks them if they want to be financially
free or make money from home or something like that.

Well . . . of course they do!

But that doesn't mean they want anything to do with YOUR
network marketing program.

When the average network marketer calls these generic
business opportunity leads the leads don't know anything
about the network marketer's business and for the most part
honestly don't care.

This leads to the fledgling network marketer hearing a lot
of "NOs".

Hearing NO all the time leads to quite a bit of self doubt,
both about the network marketer's own ability and the
validity of their association with their network marketing
company.

Negative feelings begin to harbor and as I said before
eventually the network marketer gives up, usually within 3-6
months.

The fledgling network marketer's perception of their
business goes from one of opportunity to one of complete
doubt and negativity.

Reality follows perception, so because the fledgling network
marketer believes both themselves and their business as
having little hope this becomes TRUE.

That's basically why 95% of network marketers fail if you
asked me.

Tried Network Marketing before and failed? It's not your
fault. Let this rookie "unknown" marketer show you how he
embarrassed the "gurus" by placing over 4,120 people in his
downline in 14 short months, while pocketing over half-a-
million dollars. Now he has honed his SYSTEM into an idiot-
proof step-by-step can't fail, never-cold-call-again
recruiting machine on steroids! He'll even PAY YOU to check

MLM Network Marketing- How to keep you MLM Network Marketing Team Motivated

2010-01-01T01:01:44Z

Motivating Your Team
When your team is assembled, it'll be your task because the manager or leader of keeping everyone focused and moving forward. MLM relies heavily on bringing in new accounts and representatives, just like any sales format does, so you must maintain team excited and working hard.

To motivate your team, it is best to target the positive end result instead of possible fiasco. People responds most effectively to reward than punishment. Avoid assertions such as, “If all of us don’t produce their goal this month, we’ll suffer a loss of cash. ” Preferably provide excitement to the group but relay a similar message, “We’re nearing our goal. Just when we reach it, we’ll be looking at a huge profit! ” Never lie, but always give attention to the positive.

A strong leader consistently leads by example. MLM organisations often become passive income streams, but a first rate leader does not tolerate their own endeavours to diminish just because his income has moved higher. Despite the fact that objectives are wonderful and are suitable to be set together as a team, they do not signify an ending. Fresh goals should always be set, and keep away from making a goal “maintaining. ” It is far harder to get excited about maintaining a level than it is to fire up the team to reach another level.

The nature of a MLM business ensures that many are functioning to sell similar or the same products. As the leader, you must make every effort to unite your team and discuss techniques and incentives as compared with allowing the team to compete with each other. If possible, gather together for casual activities to create personal relationships. Discuss things in addition to work so that the team feels united.

You are the leader and you set the standard for your team. Be excited about the business enterprise. Discuss your ideas and excitement with others and try to look forward. Listen to what the team members have to say and be reasonable when making decisions, but always remain the inspirational force and guiding light. They look to you and your efforts will never be in vain. Click on the link below for the ultimate mlm team building system. http://www.simplemlmsuccess.com

How do you go about marketing this business is there a plan in place that you want our team to use.

If you want to make money online in your network marketing opportunity or any online business, you still will have to plan your work and work your plan.

A tried an true plan that always brings success in any network marketing opportunity is to build a list, build relationships with that list and then market to that list. Let us look at buidling a list. Many people who try to make money online don't have a list of people who know, like and trust them. If you don't you will have to build your own list. This will require you to have a "proven marketing system" .

Network Marketing -The Real Secret Of Network Marketing Success!

2009-01-12T17:48:52Z

Network marketing is not easy. I will not lie. But, in

saying that there is a little known way to absolutely ensure
your success.

This secret is seldom used yet for those that do hold true
to the principle that I am about to outline you simple
cannot fail. That's right your success is 100% gu'aranteed.

Before we get to the secret let's do a little ground work to
set the stage for HUGE and quick success in network
marketing.

The level of success and freedom in life that network
marketing offers to the average person is unlimited and
that's the appeal, but there are some ways to help ensure
that success occurs for you as quickly as possible.

Most people jump into a new home bus'iness on a hope and
dream.

They look at the compensation plan and the testimonials
involved with the network marketing company that they are
about to join and see the vision.

They say "Man ... IF I max out this plan I'll be making
$40,000 a month and I'll never have to work again! Let's
give it try!"

They fill themselves up with anticipation for the windfall
of cash that is on the way and they sit back and wait for
the money to come to them.

Then a month later after they go through a few trails and
try a few things unsuccessfully they say . . . "Why isn't
this working?"

Then the next month when they put in half the effort they
put in their first month and nothing happens again they quit
and say they were scammed.

My question to you is . . . were they scammed?

You see, before you start any Network Marketing business you
have to do a little bit more homework than just look at the
compensation plan and the testimonials. You have to really
research what you are about to get yourself into.

What type of research do you have to do? What questions
should you ask?

Here they are:

" How long has the company been around?

" What is the product?

" Is the product unique?

" Does the product have mass appeal?

" Is the product a front runner in an emerging market?

" Can you become passionate about the product?

" Does the business have a powerful marketing system in
place?

" Who are the successful people in this business?

" What are the successful people doing to create that
success?

" Is the product something that the majority of the public
can afford?

" Am I personally financial stable enough to start a new
business?

" What type of a monthly marketing budget will I have to set
aside to be successful?

" What are the conversion statistics for the marketing
process?

" Is the business truly duplicable?

" What would be my break even point?

" Is there a way to make money quickly with this business or
is there a way that I can create a quick income in
marketing
this business?

" Etc.

You see it's not just the opportunity that has to be
correct. You TOO have to be correct for the opportunity and
you have to be in a financial position to take advantage of
the opportunity at hand.

Way too many times I see people joining my business that
jump in on a hope and a dream.

They have barely enough money to pay for there monthly
membership commitment and yet they still want to know the
fastest way to grow their business for FREE.

When people get caught up in the emotion of opening the
possibility for more in their life sometimes they don't
think clearly. They think if they can just get themselves in
they will get rich.

It's not just about getting yourself in.

It's about getting yourself in and putting yourself in a
position to be able to fully maximize the opportunity at
hand.

I get asked the following WRONG question all the time.

"How long until I make money?"

It's not about how long until you make money it's about what
you have to do to make money.

The truth is you could put yourself in a profitable
situation tomorrow or today, but it would take resources and
a good deal of learning to know how to do it.

The truth is, the fast way is never the FREE way. It's
either going to take you a good deal of money to put
yourself in a profitable position or a good deal of
education and leverage, and most of the time both.

There is no luck factor.

You don't earn money until you are worth of the income you
produce. As the great Earl Nightingale always says "You have
to be worth more than you are getting paid for you'r inc0me
to grow."

This is the natural state of all things and it's not going
to change. In order for your inc0me to grow you must grow.

Now . . .

Let me back up for a second to say that you CAN create a
large amount of success in Network Marketing for fr'ee, but
not until you know how.

If you don't have the answer to this question of how to
create a large amount of success for free now and it is a
burning desire for you learn how to do this, then get out
there and do the necessary leg work and research to get
yourself into to the position in which you can grow your
network marketing organization for FR'EE.

Enough of this banter . . .

If you want to have HUGE success in Network Marketing
quickly you will need to of course obtain or create a
powerful marketing system that is highly duplicable. If you
want do this on the internet here are the critical factors
that you should look for in the least:

" A high power lead capture page

" A strong follow up email system that incorporates the fear
of loss.

" A direct marketing style website that sells so you don't
have to.

Let's talk about the secret that will absolutely guarantee
that you succeed in Network Marketing.

Ready?

Well remember when I gave the example above of the typical
mindset for people entering into network marketing?

They say:

"Man ... IF I max out this plan I'll be making $40,000 a
month and I'll never have to work again! Let's give it try!"

All we have to do is change one word in this statement to
give you the little know secret to guaranteeing you network
marketing success.

Change the word "IF" to "WHEN"

Don't make it a possibility to succeed in network marketing
make it a conviction.

It's the people that see the compensation plan and do all
the research that I've noted above and then say to
themselves that it's only a matter of time until they max
out their compensation plan that truly and always without a
shadow of a doubt succeed.

Network marketing is not something that works part of the
time or if your lucky. It always works as long as you do
everything in your power to make it work.

Set a goal in your network marketing business and don't stop
until you get there and you WILL get there. I guarantee it.

How To Talk To A Woman In An MLM Network Marketing Opportunity

2009-01-03T23:52:39Z

“Closers Wanted", or "You Have To Close The Deal”, or my personal favorite "ABC - Always Be Closing"

Have you ever heard these clowns using their guerilla closer tactics tell you, “Bring everyone you can find into the meeting and I’ll close ‘em for ya”?

Maybe, your still in one of those companies where the biggest, beefiest super guerilla closer of them all is supposed to close all the dull-whitted prospects you manage to bring to a tele-call everyday?

You have probably also heard the super fat cat awesome closer gets the big box because he is so important that he deserves that reward the most.

Have you ever noticed it is the guerilla closer tactician that gets the lime light up on the stage? What with his power suit, power shirt, power tie, power watch, and yes even power under wear? Man, watch him strut! Can you tell how much he loves it?

Those guys think they are so cool because closing is the most important thing on the planet, and only they know how to do it because they have cevelar skin, titanium bones, and liquid nitrogen blood. They just know they are “all that”.

What Is Missing Here? Did you see one mention of the word “she” or “her”?

No.

Why do you suppose that is guys?

HINT: None of the gals are guessing.

Guys, until now I have stuck it to you, a lot like you stuck it to the girls you have “scored on”, to get your attention.

In network marketing men seem to think that the faster and more often they can “score” .. oops ... er, uh ... I mean “close” the better.

Wake up fellas!

If the girls you tried to "close" in the back seat of your dads car did not want that back then, what makes you think that things have changed just because the game is now MLM or Network Marketing?

Grow up!

Network Marketing & MLM FACTS About Women:

1. Women make up 80% of all network marketers according to the Direct Sales Association.
2. Women do not like to be pushed into anything.
3. Women hate to be closed.

Remember back on that first date guys?

Admit it ... you knew she did not want to be dragged into that back seat to be closed! Heads up ... she still does not want that and she never will. And she feels the same about you and your “close” in MLM.

I know you are probably thinking, “So what’s the big deal? What do they want?”

OK Bubbu, come here and let me draw you a picture.

No matter what was going on in your head, or what your vision of the future was, that girl knew she would have to carry your baby for 9 months, and then care for it and nurture it for at least another 18 years. And get very little....if any "support" from you the closing gun slinger who's just out for the thrill of the kill!

Meanwhile where is mister Romeo? Dragging some other poor girl into the same “close”.

That girl knows that in today’s network marketing world it takes weeks, or even months just to build good relationships. They need to be sure your not going to just take off after you get what you really wanted, the "close".

That takes trust, understanding and support!

Then it will probably take another 1 to 3 years for those relationships to pay off in the form of a long-term, residual income. And of course by this time that girl, who became a mother is now a grandmother so she may be needed to help with the next generation of new network marketing youngsters.

That girl ... no ... that woman knows all this takes is first trust, planning, and passion. That woman knows what most guys have yet to learn ...

Here Is What Women Know...

It is NOT all about the “close” or the first sale.

She hates being “closed” as much as she hated being treated and talked to as a “score”.

She is NOT a thing to be “closed”, she is a person. Building a long-term business customer base takes a lot of understanding people needs, patience in training, and nurturing. Starting out with a long-term mind set is most important to success in MLM.

Huddle UP Guys!

So guys, do you really want to be the big stud in network marketing?

OK, then here is the big play.

Spend all your time talking about how the women you meet in MLM can build a powerful, long-term customer base.

Oh, and you might also want to discuss how those same women can find a few good business partners to build strong for the next couple of generations.

Heck, maybe by then, if you are still around, you might actually find that they want the same thing you do. http://www.networkmarketingsmarts.biz

How To Make Money Online Using Network Marketing Smarts

2008-12-26T16:12:53Z

You have probably heard all of the stories about making money online. The news is filled with stories of those lucky folks who have become multi-millionaires with a few clicks of those mouse and still more stories about people using the internet to develop a sustained and viable business. Can it happen for you? If you’ve have been thinking about making money online, here are some tricks of the trade that can help you get started on your path to internet business glory.

When it comes to online businesses, there is a lot of bad information out there you have to sift through and a lot of potential for falling victim to a scam. Many websites advertise internet business opportunities that require a sizeable upfront investment from you, and these are generally to be avoided. Beware any online business opportunity that sets you up to spam people for pay or that requires you to make a website to try to get people to buy into a business scheme rather than buying a specific product. These internet set ups are just pyramid scams, and they’re not a reliable (or in some cases, legal) way to make money online.

One of the best ways to learn about making money online is to check out the advice of people who have done it. Do a little research and see how some online businesses you’re familiar with have set up their operations, or seek out some online business journals that have interviews with internet entrepreneurs. See what you can learn from them and from their mistakes. If you know anyone who does business online, see what advice they have to offer you. Since so many people have figured out this online business thing by trial and error at this point, you can learn from their stories what they learned the hard way and avoid some of the same bumps in the world.

Apart from understanding the technological aspects of doing business online and figuring out some unique logistics, like shipping to all of your customers instead of having a store if you’re selling a product, online advertising, and the ins and outs of online writing, some parts of online commerce are not so different from starting a business in the real world. You should settle on a business that interests you and that you have some specific skills to bring to the table. Instead of chasing the “next big thing” (these kinds of ideas go boom and then bust all the time on the net), look for a business idea that you will enjoy working on and that can bring you long term sustainability. Do research into your market, figure out your overhead costs and figure out who your competitors will be. These things will all give you the best chance at succeeding in the internet business world.

When it comes to learning about making money online, there are plenty of resources to help you figure out the best path for you. There is also tons of potential for turning your venture into a success if you do your homework. Get to know your online business neighborhood and start watching the money roll in.

Network Marketing Opportunity- How Should You Build Your Network Marketing Opportunity With Hype Or Value?

2008-12-20T22:22:50Z

MLM is famous for over-promising and under-delivering. One thing's for sure: there is a lot of hype in marketing a network marketing opportunity.

Unfortunately, all the hype out there creates false hope and hig expectations, which contribute to the negative image many people have of the network marketing and home based business industry.

If you are new to Network Marketing (or even if you've been in the industry for awhile), you may be tempted to contribute to all the hype out there. After all, if other people are doing it, it must work, right? It may work sometimes, usually in the short term, but something that will work all the time is adding true value to prospects.

People who attract customers and business partners with hype generally don't attract people who stay very long. On the other hand, Network Marketers who attract people by providing valuable information, no strings attached, are likely to attract higher quality prospects and customers. Higher quality prospects and customers will inevitably lead to a more successful business.

Here are a few tips to help you make sure you're adding value to the Network Marketing industry rather than floodingit with hype.

Put Yourself in Your Prospect's Shoes. If you were the prospect, what would you think about the presentation you are giving, the ad you are placing, or the forum post or article you are writing? Would it sound like a sales pitch to you? If so, go back to the drawing board. Find a way to present your information without giving a sales pitch. You'll be surprised at the results you get when people don't feel like your only motive is to get them to buy something from you!

Have Integrity. If you value your integrity, you will be adding value instead of hype. You will conduct business in an ethical and honest way. Always remember that no sale or new business partner is worth ruining your reputation. People appreciate honesty, and when you show you are a person of integrity, people will want to do business with you.

Teach Others. Many people enter the Network Marketing arena with no background in business or marketing. When they see what other people are doing, they naturally join in. They don't know any other way. When you teach others a better way--that they will be more successful in Network Marketing when they add value rather than hype, they will follow suit.

Network Marketing Recruiting - How Can I Get Better At Doing It?

2008-12-18T02:08:03Z

When it comes to the process network marketing recruiting many people give up on the first, second or third try and just end up thinking is way too hard for them to do.These people are your perfect example of quitters, those who just give up at something and make up excuses saying it was just too hard. Those people blame everyone else but themselves and is very obvious why they are not successful.

Probably not just in network marketing either!

If you are one of these people then you better start dedicating yourself to get better by developing more skills. You must not wish it was easier you have to develope more skills and get better.The only way to get better at something is to keep on doing it until you begin to get it right. Remember it's not all about sales talent but there has to be experience as well. Those who give up too easily are those who never get over the top and succeed.

If you are serious about being successful then you must have the mental strength to endure the rough times that you will undergo. I can give you some basic concepts on the whole recruiting method but when it comes down to it what matters is if you decide to stick around even through the struggles.

When you decide to recruit someone the worst way to do it is by approaching them with your business opportunity upfront. They will not pay attention to you and they will feel that all you care about is to sell them. This was the old school way of doing things years ago and sadly to say there are many network marketers still trying to do it today.

Only, the best and most savy saleman can do it (2% to 5%) today!

But, there is a much better way for the newbie. It's called a system and you need one to be successful in the new wave network marketing information age. A system that can create leads automatically, filter through and find the quality prospects worth spending time with. Plus, it must also pay you even if the majority of these lead don't join your primary MLM company.

Is that possible? You bet, I use such a system today and so can you no matter what business your trying to build.

Check out how it works....
