Overhyping Your MLM May Bring Undesirable Results
ByThanks god it’s Friday. I hope you’ve all had an amazing week thus far. Anyhow, before I spend my weekend enjoying the much warmer weather in Toronto, I thought I’d share a bit of insight into a recent email I received from some random stranger I met on Twitter. I’m sharing this with everyone here, in hopes that perhaps we can all learn something from this person’s appraoch.
Dear Paul, [P.S. This Emails Subject Line is ATTENTION MLM Business Builder / Come Join Our Extremely Lucrative Dream Team Project]
Do you believe you can make an ongoing fortune providing a consumable solution that gets reordered every month, that virtually everyone wants, that almost no one says no to, and that saves consumers substantial money beyond the cost of the product on a bill that they absolutely have to pay anyway, usually weekly?
I’ve luckily stumbled upon a truly amazing opportunity that leverages energy from the current perfect storm of three colliding megatrends that is completely recession proof and will not go away or drop off for a very long time, because it’s locked into current technologies that most people are not going to stop using for decades.
If you haven’t already deduced it, this has nothing to do with nutrition, skin care, water makers or filters or any product remotely like any of those.
If you can effectively produce targeted traffic and are willing to do that consistently to build a substantial organization based on both a bottom up and a top down approach, you will undoubtedly create an income stream that will have you set for life financially for several reasons.
This opportunity is uniquely positioned to work well both from a promote-the-business-opportunity first approach, as well as from a promote-the-product first approach, which is rare in network marketing. Most successful builders have to work their programs online top down to get good results.
What this means is that we can do well promoting product online retail, and then easily convert a healthy percentage of buyers to business builders (which I know is already being done successfully). We can also do very well using the Ann Sieg/Renegade Network Marketer and Mike Dillard/Magnetic Sponsoring techniques to rope in large numbers of serious business builders quickly.
I’m interested in building a talented, collaborative dream team to light this up with the intention of setting records and earning five figure weekly checks quickly, and breaking to at least six figures monthly each within a year. This is a binary structure that pays infinitely deep on volume, and infinitely wide on matching bonuses on those that are personally sponsored, once qualified.
Being a binary, getting in and staking out your position quickly is to your great financial benefit. First ones in will benefit the most from those who follow, of course, so act quickly to garner the fattest slice of the rewards.This opportunity is currently available to you if you’re in one of the following countries (or you can create a mailable/shipable presence in one of these countries):
USA & Possessions (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands)
Canada
Australia
New Zealand
Israel
JamaicaThe 27 countries in the European Union are slated to be open very soon, and Mexico will follow very shortly after.
This of course means our market is currently wide open in all these countries. It’s HUGE and it’s virtually untapped.
I am working personally, directly with the top earners in the company, a couple who is the only Presidental Executive Director level qualified distributor currently in this deal.
They are very excited to have my skills and available resources involved and are highly motivated to ensure my dream team’s growth and success.
If you want to make a ton of money and are willing to put forth the consistent effort to make it happen, let’s talk and I’ll fill you in on all the details.
Please respect that I’m honestly too busy for tire kickersso please be serious.
I will ONLY be providing details in one on one conversation so be prepared to talk (not type) by phone or via Skype.
You’ll understand why once I find out if you’re qualified to participate with me in building this dream team.
Do you have what it takes and do you want in?
If you find yourself more than merely curious and are already saying yes in your head, email me back and let’s begin.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
MY RESPONSE: Correct me if I’m wrong, but your message seems as though it needs a bit of tweaking. Please note, I am not here to criticize, only to address some areas you need to work on to get more results in recruiting more.
1. You mention an opportunity dealing with a consumable product –>
You’re on the right track here. Selling a consumable product can be beneficial in creating long term residual wealth.
2. You also mention a product that “virtually everyone wants, that almost no one says no to” –>
You might need to be a little more accurate with this one. From my own perspective, it’s already starting to sound too good to be true. The only thing I can think of that no one would say no to is free cash. In the history of MLM, there hasn’t been a single product that EVERYBODY. If you are going to attract anyone by stating this, it would either be someone who is living in some fantasy world that actually believes this stuff or someone who hates rejection and will do anything (or in this case nothing at all) in order to avoid it. [How’s that for a run-on sentence. =) True MLM business builders do not care about being rejected, so there’s no real need to sugar coat the opportunity by stating that the product is an easy sell. You might want to ask yourself “If it sold on it’s own, then why in the world would they have people like us conversationally market the product.”
3. You mention “I am working personally, directly with the top earners in the company, a couple who is the only Presidental Executive Director level qualified distributor currently in this deal.”
So what? Since you’re talking about addressingprofessional marketers, you don’t need to tell us that you’re working with the only presidential executive director. All I’ve gathered from that statement is that compensation plan is too difficult to succeed in, where there’s only 1 person at the top. (and doing that can potentially spark the stigma that has affected network marketing for SOOOO many years)
4. “Most successful builders have to work their programs online top down to get good results.”
What does this mean, and where is the proof?
5. Try not to be so secretive. It doesn’t work anymore. If anything, it just makes people more skeptical about the opportunity. Perhaps focus your attention more on the benefits the ready might experience, rather than the features. If there really aren’t any true benefits, it might be time for you to look at another opportunity. The fact of the matter is, in order to be truly successful in your mlm opportunity, you will require to have products and/or services that have retail value. (One thing to ask yourself is this: Does this product/service of mine offer plenty of value, that I be open with sharing it with my close friends and family?)
6. Last word of advice. Good luck. And please also make sure your focus is always on your prospect. Nobody really cares how you want to do with the company. They honestly want to know what you will do to help them achieve their goals.
