Just about to quit Network Marketing?
Posted by: | CommentsAs millions of people have seen for themselves, Network Marketing is one of the last few ventures you can be involved in where it’s possible to earn while you’re still learning. Keep in mind, it’s a profession in its own
right. If things don’t seem to be working for you, I encourage that you think about why you became involved in the first place. If you do find yourself ready to quit:
• Consider the many small business owners who took out a huge loan to start their mom-and-pop store, only to find themselves spending countless hours working 12-16 hours a day for 2 years straight trying to recoup their initial investments.
• Think of the millions who took the more traditional route in obtaining a university degree, in hopes to find a good paying job, only to find that there were no jobs available to them after graduating.
• Consider the many people who sit in grueling traffic, finding themselves commuting to and from work each and every single day working for “the man”
• Think of the freedom one might experience from working on a business in the comfort of their own home, full of rewarding benefits such as spending more time with the family
• Think about the minimal startup costs required to get your network marketing opportunity in the first place, as well as the freedom to choose exactly who you work with.
• Consider the millions of people who are stuck in their same old boring jobs, but feel trapped as they believe this is their only way to make ends meet.
• Lastly, I encourage you to dream again, and how envision a life where making money were no longer an issue. Imagine what that could mean for you and your family.
If it wasn’t for my up line keeping me in check reminding me to just apply persistent, consistent action every day, my dreams of success would soon become a reality.
How Does A Multiple 6-Figure Earner Call Leads? LISTEN LIVE TONIGHT!
Posted by: | CommentsCalling leads is a part of the network marketing industry and most networkers hate doing it.
Why?
Because it’s a battle! They try to convince Mr. Prospect that their business is the best out there. They try to sell their company’s amazing compensation plan, product line, business opportunity, yadda yadda and its a complete mess and a struggle.
IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY CARES ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFF!
Every company tells their distributors to pitch that they have the best EVERYTHING (company, product, comp plan, etc) and the pitch is always the same. Little do they know that this is the #1 reason why 97% of network marketers will fail miserably in this industry.
The companies are setting their distributors up for FAILURE right from the get-go.
Well, thats where I come in my friend
Come listen to an expert calling his leads…
Watch how there is no convincing…
Watch how there is no selling…
Watch how people already know about him BEFORE he calls his leads and they’re ready to do whatever he tells them to…
And watch how this exact approach has landed him as one of the top 5 producers in his primary company, which has over 10,000 distributors, on complete autopilot…

Overhyping Your MLM May Bring Undesirable Results
Posted by: | CommentsThanks 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.

(P.S. Before you grill me for not editing this post, I apoligize. I’ve been busy working on a business plan for a new company and have had my plate full for a while now. Anyhow here it goes. Don’t worry I’m not revealing my opportunity to you here. If you want to know you know how to contact me. =] )
There have been tons of new millionaires created in the past 50+ years thanks to MLM
Here are some key points that top distributors in all companies simply forget to tell their new distributors.
1. 99% of all “distributors” are GONE, as in KAPUT within the first 3 years (or less) So, it’s a race to stay ahead of the quitters. Humans quit EVERYTHING, and especially MLM where there tends to be very little real investment (financial, emotional, timewise, or otherwise) keeping them from doing so.
2. 2/3 of nearly ALL the “whale” distributors earnings has come from, uh, you guessed it INFORMATION PRODUCTS – these guys have been at the “Info Product Game” before the web ever existed. I know because some distributor friends of mine once used high-speed cassette duplicators and would sit at the back of huge conferences and rattle off tape after tape of the current session – all at something like 85% profit margin (pretty residual too…sales continued for months afterwards as people pushed the media into their groups)
3. Rarely are you building an business distributorship – you’re building an ORGANIZATION. If you build it properly, it makes no never mind if the company goes belly up. Case in point: the guy I learned EVERYTHING MLM from in early 2000, who was a diamond director I believe from (translated: easy 6 figures) in Usana, is now a HUGE Isagenix distributor….that’s right – MOST of his organization came along with him. People follow PEOPLE, not companies. (little recruiting tip for you)
If your are thinking of doing MLM in the near future, I suggest the following top 10 criteria (most of the time NOBODY takes time to choose..they usually get roped into these things): (Btw, these aren’t organized in any particular order)
1. Pick an established company. It’s usually good to choose a company that has passed the 5 year mark. There’s nothing more annoying than spending the first 2 years of your MLM career building up your organization, only to find it fall apart shortly after.
2. Pick a multinational company – My experience has been that your organization will grow much quicker if you have the ability to expand away from North America as well. Regarding some multinational companies. Be weary of full global launches. I don’t want to name names, but companies that do global launches or spread quickly into new territories often put themselves at risk, as well as their distributors. Many will disagree with me on this point, however I do believe business should be built with a strong foundation. Companies need to realize that they need to do extensive research on a foreign company. Understand what works and what doesn’t. What may succeed in one country, can flop in another.
3. Pick one with a “Global Seamless Downline” comp plan. That means you can sign up your Aussie friend, who can sponsor his old friend from Manchester, UK, who knows someone in Kansas, yadda yadda….you’d be AMAZED how many multinational MLMs don’t do this. Also on the subject of comp plans, just how easy is it to understand?
4. Ask yourself if the product or service you will be selling is in an growing or large industry. Products and services must have huge marketability. If not, you will find it rather impossible to sell anything, no matter how much of a shark you are. (*Hint. If you’re looking for a niche, there is huge evidence that supports the prediction that the health and wellness sector would be the next trillion dollar industry. If you want to see a video on you tube, DM me on twitter and I’ll pass on the link to you)
5. Pick one that’s just as at home in a B2B situation as P2P (person-2-person)….precious few are. What do I mean by this? Message/me for a more detailed response.
6. Pick one with a real, live, tangible product, not just a hard drive full of binary fluff – those rarely last longer than a year or two.
7. Pick one that won’t restrict your internet marketing activities – unless you can be a REAL MARKETER (build your own sites, craft your own sales funnel, etc)
8. Work with a sponsor that is wiling to give you 110 % support in your marketing efforts.(*hint, *hint…. nudge nudge)
9. If you’re going to take a chance in putting your effort towards a new start up MLM, I highly encourage you to research the management. Also, how much financial backing does the company have? Like in any business, cash flow is extremely important.
10. Select an easy to understand compensation plan from the start. I’ve seen a large number of different comp plans out right now, and from what I’ve observed, there are some companies that make their compensation plans so confusing, I really don’t think they understand them fully either. One of your key responsibilities as a SPONSOR, is to nurture your new recruit and make sure they get off to a great start. If you are finding that many of your distributors are dropping like flies, a reason for that could be due to the fact that you didn’t invest enough time to explain every detail of their new business.
Anyhow, this post is getting quite long. Before I go, I wanted to ask. Are you currently looking for a 3rd party’s opinion on a particular in the mlm / network marketing / direct selling company? If so, msg me on twitter or simply email me at paul@paulportugal.com and I’ll give you an detailed response as to why I either support or discourage your decision to work with your chosen company. Before I go, here’s my shameless plug for a new attraction-marketing based system that seems to be working quite well for my MLM business. It was developed by a few friends of mine, Norbert, Todd, and Brian —> Check us out at http://www.mlmbusinessbuilders.com
