MLM Secrets

MLM secrets I discovered from the MLM university

2006-02-08T21:45:00-06:00

I joined MLM University because I was not having success in my Network Marketing business. I believed with the right training I too can become successful. One secret taught by MLM University is the importance of using the right verbiage when introducing folks into your business. Other secrets taught include closing techniques and how to overcome objections.

Sounds great, right?

Only, I had a problem. Because of my personality, the techniques taught by MLM University were not natural and I struggled. So I practiced and practiced their techniques. I reasoned, if I verbalize it enough, it will become second nature. I even took this training to the market place. I got results but it wasn't pretty. Most people hid when I approached them again and I felt awful.

Soon I realized in order to be successful I would have to change my personality and become someone I’m not. I would have to sell, something I do not like. They call it selling by attraction. Yum, how attractive is it really?

I kept thinking there has to be another way to do this business.

During my struggle I searched for answers. I found the truth.

Three MLM secrets I learned.

I learned that Network Marketing is not a sales business. 90% of the population don't even like pushy, 'sales' people. WOW.

I learned Network Marketing is a people and mentoring business. The key to success is understanding people. Study people and find out how to help them reach their dreams. By reaching out and touching people's hearts your own dreams will be fulfilled.

I learned that real Network Marketing team building is voluntary. Now I never ask people to join me in my business. People voluntary come to me. That's truly rejection free! I learned when you use closing techniques you also closing the relationship. People buy from people who they know, like and trust. An easy way to get people to trust you is by not closing them.

Now I'm having fun building my business. This approach has taken the pressure off of selling and trying to get people in my deal. Instead I'm sharing and building relationships with people quickly and easily. My approach to my network marketing business is ethical and I can talk with folks comfortable and with confidence.

What about you? My question is “how would you like to run your business” Are you going to network using the old sell,sell,sell and recruit, recruit techniques or are you interested in using the up dated system approach where you build it once and build it right.

You should be learning from someone who has built it the right way. Join mentoring for free

MLM Secrets to a Scorching Success in 2006

Network Marketing Training- MLM Secrets to a Scorching Success in 2006!

By Doug Firebaugh

Happy New year.

You will hear that many times over the next few weeks, and it is a sign that new beginnings are at hand, and many people are looking at doing better in 2006, and enlarging their MLM business and paycheck in Network Marketing.

Are you planning on doing that?

Here is a better question:

Are you GOING TO DO THAT?

In 2006, you will need to be honest with yourself, and do what we always did. We called it a “Success Audit.” This is a New Years exercise that proved to be very valuable in our MLM Network Marketing business.

When you are building a home based business, you need to understand where you were in 2005, and where you are going in 2006.

We developed some Success questions that helped keep our focus where it needed to be, and continue our growth and development of our MLM business and ourselves.

Here are the questions, and I would encourage you to look at them, and answer them honestly. These may reveal to you what you need to work on in 2006, and what to repeat as that worked well last year.

1) What was your greatest strength in 2005 in your MLM business? Why?

This could be your greatest skill, what you found most effective. It could be talking to people, leadership, hosting events, doing conference calls, etc. What in your opinion was the strongest part of your network marketing business in 2006?

2) What was your greatest weakness in 2005 in your Network marketing business? Why?

This could be the one thing that did not work so well, and you have to work on it. What do you feel was the biggest weakness in your business last year? Identify this, and then go to work on improving it. You will be glad you did.

3) What one skill set did you improve the most in 2005?

This is what you truly worked on and became better at in 2005. It may be leadership, training, recruiting, doing presentations, or many other things. It could also be being consistent, being disciplined, etc. This is worth celebrating, as you moved forward in personal development and Success in 2005.

4) In 2006, what is the one thing you are going to focus on and improve about your MLM home based business?

This is your “Success Priority.”

This is the ONE THING in 2006 that will improve and enlarge your network Marketing business more than anything. What is the NUMBER ONE priority that MUST be improved in your business?

More downline activity? Better leadership? Better Communication? Better Training? More people talked to on a daily basis? The list could be long, but for you, it is only one thing. What would that be?

Think…what would that one thing be?

5) What is the ONE THING that you are going to improve and enlarge about yourself in 2006?

This is a BIGGIE! You need to set Personal Development goals for 2006, and you must identify the one goal for self development that you need to work on. It could be simply that you will take 15 minutes a day and read or listen to Success materials that will build you and help enlarge who you are on the inside. We all need to do that! It could be getting a planner and keeping yourself organized and motivated. It could simply to talk to more successful people in 2006 and learn from them.

6) Did you and your group talk to enough people in 2005? Did you hit your goal as far as new contacts?

Better yet, did you set a goal for new contacts? You need to set a daily goal for new contacts for everyone, and it should be a MINIMUM of 2 new contacts a day. This will give you at least a flow of new people that are looking at your products or MLM business. Your New Contacts goal is KEY to new growth in 2006.

7) What is your Volume Increase Goal for 2006?

This is a MUST. If you do not have a growth goal for volume, personal and team, then how can you hit it? You need to set a goal for at least 8% growth a month. If you do, you will double your network marketing business in 2006! Will that excite you? We did that for 7 years in a row! It was planned, and executed with discipline and focus.

There are three Major areas that we all need to focus on in 2006 for better and bigger results in 2006:

INPUT.

What goes into your mind on a daily basis, comes out into your life on an hourly basis. What kind of INPUT will be dominating your mind and thinking in 2006? What will be influencing it? Who will be influencing it? Why will you allow that to happen in your MLM Home Based business?

OUTPUT.

What is going to determine your OUTPUT this year? Is it going to be what dominated it last year, or is it going to be different actions and thinking? Is it going to be bigger goals and targets, or are you going to fly by the seat of your pants as many network marketers do? Planned activity accelerates Success. Will you allow that for 2006?

NO PUT.

What are you going to do with the NO’s that you get in 2006 and where are you going to out them? In your heart, or in the garbage? Most people are affected by them, and they become an anchor on the spirit and emotions. You need to put the No’s where they belong- in the delete files in your mind.

INFERNO Secret:

No’s are simply stepping stones to YES for your network marketing business.

Put the No’s down, and keep searching for the yeses.

Success is NOT built on the word YES in network Marketing, but the word NO. No will GROW YOU, ENLARGE YOU.

INFERNO Secret:

In 2006, you MUST GROW PAST THE NO.

If you do, then the Yeses you will get will EXPLODE in 2006 with your MLM and Network Marketing business.

MLM Training - MLM Secrets to Keeping Your Downline Motivated

2006-02-04T13:45:00-06:00

MLM Training - MLM Secrets to Keeping Your Downline Motivated
By Doug Firebaugh

Network Marketing Motivation.

MLM Motivation.

Two very misunderstood concepts. The average network marketer today wants to keep their team motivated and FIRED UP! That is normal, as you always want them to be mentally and psychologically elevated for Success in Network Marketing.

But here is the challenge:

INFERNO Secret

You CANNOT motivate anyone to Success.

They must motivate themselves. We waste so much time, even a lot of mlm trainers that teach motivation, trying to get the team and people pumped up, juiced up, jammed up, onFire and motivated. That may happen in the moment from the excitement, but it quickly fades.

Keeping your team motivated and ignited simply is not going to happen unless you follow the Rules of Reality in MLM Motivation. These rules are based in reality, not hype, and honesty, not empty enthusiasm.

Ok…what are the 5 Rules of Reality in Network Marketing Motivation?

1) You MUST INSPIRE, not just Motivate.

The greek definition for INSPIRE is “breath within.” This means that you must create within the person the “breath” of confidence and energy that they can connect to and embrace.

How?

Modeling.

You must be the role model and guide to show your mlm folks that you are worthy of following, and are a leader. Do what you ask them to do, and do it BIG. Show them that you believe in what you are saying, and you do it daily in MLM.

And through your actions and words, let them “breathe” that Leadership into their hearts, and keep them inspired and wanting to follow you into a greater life of Success in MLM.

2) You MUST Praise, not just Promote.

Praise is the secret weapon to motivating people. Many times, we will promote and recognize the new folks who went up a pin level, and that is important. But praising someone for a valiant effort that may have had little results will motivate many times 10 times more.

Why?

People will always appreciate being appreciated for the effort, not just the result. Motivation must have a foundation of praise and recognition. If you have that foundation and praise and recognize your people for their efforts as well as results, you will find that there will be more pin levels to celebrate.

3) You MUST pour into them what has been ignored about them.

Most people never get much of any encouragement. That is our job in MLM. We must encourage those who not only need it, but all who are on your team. There is nothing more motivating than the right word at the right time. A word of belief, or a word of “I am there with you” can go a long way in keeping people onFIRE.

You must pour into your team Big Thinking, Big Belief, Big Vision, Big Future, Big Life. You must constantly say the 4 most powerful words in network marketing: “I believe in you.”

If you pour into the person what has been ignored most of their life, they will follow you wherever you go, for the rest of their life. They will become ‘addicted” to your encouragement and the promise of hope that they feel from you.

4) You MUST introduce new Success ideas and Bigger Possibilities into their heart.

New ideas that enlarge a person are worth their weight in gold in MLM. Have you ever seen someone get ignited when they had an “aha” moment? You need to become the “aha master” and continually introduce new Success and possibilities into their life. Most jobs and family cultures are limited and shrink most people’s dreams. Enlarge your teams’ dreams.

The Million Dollar question:

WHY ARE YOU THINKING SO SMALL?

Ramp your team up with some Success ideas that will expand and enlarge their brains beyond where they have ever been! Suggest Success books to read and CDs to listen to, and take them to empowerment seminars. Get them around millionaires in your upline if you have any. Get them thinking HUGE.

5) You MUST give personal time and attention to those who deserve it.

Nothing motivates more than personal attention in Network Marketing. Focusing in on one person for a time, maybe over lunch or coffee, and pouring into them individually. Personal encouragement is a great way to give personal attention to folks.

Find out what is meaningful to them. Find out what they TRULY want in life, and listen to why. Discover what is important in life to them and why. Ask what they want to change more than anything about their life. Ask about family, kids, faith, hobbies, interests, etc.

Find out WHO THEY ARE.

Discover what trips their trigger, and get them so excited that they would be working 24/7 to get it. That is giving someone personal time and attention. It is worth it’s weight in gold.

You cannot motivate anyone. But you can inspire and pour into them so they will motivate themselves to create an MLM business that could make them wealthy.

Now THAT is true motivation in MLM and Network Marketing!

Blessings...
