MLM Success Stories - How to Become One

Maybe you are here because you are looking for inspiration and/or motivational for your MLM career. Maybe you have just started or you have been in for a while and have yet to make it to where you want to be. You see the dream, the potential, the possibilities but just aren't sure how to get there yourself so you are here, looking for other people's MLM success stories to get a glimpse of what they did to get to where they are. Or maybe you're looking to regain hope that you will truly get there yourself one day.
I am here to tell you that you can get there. The problem with other people's MLM success stories though, is that they usually fail to tell you what they REALLY did to get to the top. They leave out the part where they struggled, faced TONS of rejection, put in tons of hours, and what exactly they did to finally get the results they needed.
I know a lot of companies like to show case their reps that jump into their company and within 6 months they are in the top 2% of the leadership levels. The problem with this is that it gives people the wrong impression. Almost every single one of those people were in a business prior to the one they flew to the top in. They already shed the blood, sweat, and tears and built a solid list. They already knew what they were doing when it comes to marketing and how to talk to people effectively.
Rarely, do you find someone who jumps into a company with no prior business or MLM experience and make it to the top within a short amount of time.
The reality of the matter is that 95% of Network Marketers fail to have success for using a couple of reasons.
#1. They don't have a solid plan that included marketing
#2. They market their companies instead of themselves. (People do business with people and not companies) Meaning they rush out to "share" with people about how great XYZ is and run people off because they feel like they are being sold, even if the excited MLMer is just trying to share.
#3. They don't know how to generate their own leads (an extension of #1)
#4. They give up when it gets hard or if it takes longer than 6 months.
Truth is, it takes time. You can easily reach $200-$500 in the first 3 months or so but if you are looking for $10,000+ it would probably take at least a year unless fix the problems listed above.
So how do you do that? How can you become one of the many MLM success stories? How do you get a plan that works, learn how to market the right way, talk to prospects effectively, market yourself as a leader (even if your new you can, guaranteed), learn how to generate your own leads, and do it all quick enough to get money in your pocket in a timely manner?
Believe it or not, it sounds like a lot but it really isn't. They all tie together and can easily and quickly be learned and put into motion. All you need is an MLM recruiting system. One that gives you the training, tools, and resources you need in one single place, an attraction marketing system that is proven to work, and has tons of MLM success stories.
On top of having a great system, you need a leadership team who can walk along side you, be there for you, because MLM is a team effort. We don't care what MLM company you are in, we are here to help. We know what it's like to struggle and what it's like to have success.

Focus On The Reasons Why You Can Succeed!

I was just listening to a successful business leader and he said something very powerful that I wanted to share.  He was talking about not making excuses!  People who win big don't spend all their time making excuses!

All of us can find plenty of reasons why we can't do something.  And if we focus on those reasons it will keep us from moving forward.  He said that there may be 300 reasons why you can't do something.  But if you look for that one good reason why you can do it and then you FOCUS ON IT, you can do very well!

I thought that was powerful.  This applies to anything that we want to do in life.  When we are faced with a challenge or something that we want to do, we can either choose to focus on all the reasons why we can't succeed or we can choose to focus on the reason that we can succeed! 

Let's find that one good reason and focus on it!

Self-Education

So how important is self-education?  It doesn't matter the field.  The more someone is willing to continue to grow personally and learn everything they can, the more successful they will be.  I've heard it said that the more you learn, the more you earn!

Self education and personal development is so important in my opinion.  I just heard this quote that pretty much says it all:

"A formal education will make you a living.  Self-education will make you a fortune!"

Formal education is important but don't stop there.  Continue to learn everything you can.  I believe this is a key to success with all top performers. 

How To Make Money in Network Marketing! By Rich Florence

Do you want to make money in Network Marketing? Lots of people "sign up" or start their business but what does it really take to actually make money? Most of us when we first begin really want to tell a few people and sponsor them and then sit back and see what happens. We may not really say that but the reality is that is what most of us do. Then we wonder why we aren't making all the money that we planned to make from our business.
When we first get started, we are excited and we go out and talk to people about our business and products because we realize that we have to do that to have a team or network of people consuming our products. We are focusing on the "Revenue Generating Activities" that bring new Distributors and Customers in to our business. The key to continued growth in your business is to stay focused on those activities that you did when you first started. This may seem obvious but it is amazing how many people don't do this. It is very important that you help your team build their business but be careful that you don't fall in to the trap of just managing your team and expecting them to do the activities that grow the business. (Of course that day can come but don't expect it to come too early!)
So what are the revenue generating activities? They are the activities that actually bring new distributors and new customers in to your business. This is what we get paid to do! This is the "work" part of our business! There are a lot of good things that we need to do like listening to phone calls or going to training meetings. These things help teach us and build our belief which is important but they are not revenue generating activities. You can actually build a very solid business that can replace your job income and you can do it working part-time (20 hours or less a week) but you have to really "work." You have to focus on the activities that actually pay you!
So stay focused on things like Meeting People, Inviting People, Giving (or Getting People to) Presentations, Follow Up and Getting New People Started. If you do that, YOU WILL MAKE MONEY! Does it take work? Of course it does! Does it require you to learn some new skills? Probably so! But is it worth it? YES IT IS!!! No matter if you are brand new and just getting started or if you have been involved for a long time, you can succeed! Decide today to focus on the right activities that pay you and you will be one of those "lucky" people who makes money in this great profession.

How to Make 100,000 in Network Marketing

People are attracted to network marketing for the promise of a new life. A new level of income…A chance to make a change, yet few people ever make that change. The failure rate in network marketing is over 90%. Why is this so when so many people come to the industry with good intentions?

The answer is simple, really. The people who make a hundred thousand dollars or more in network marketing follow and teach three simple principles that hold true no matter the company, no matter the compensation plan, no matter the product.

The three key principles are

1) Autoship
2) Know the compensation plan
3) Practice and teach a duplicable system

What is autoship? Autoship is simply your agreement to receive a certain product or service that is of value to you in exhange for a monthly fee. If you have bills you are participating in someone’s autoship program. Every utility and most banks practice autoship. You will accrue some advantage through autoship whether that advantage is a lower price for a product or the waiver of monthly activation fees. In the case of your cell phone service, for instance, you are avoiding a new activation fee each month by subscribing to a cell phone plan and paying for the service monthly. Your cell phone carrier can predict their monthly revenues based on the number of subscribers they have, indeed, their monthly subscribers constitute a large portion of the value of your cell phone carrier’s business. You have the advantage of knowing that your cell phone service is available on an ongoing basis as you need it. Another example is a bi-saver mortgage payment plan. If you are participating in a bi-saver mortgage program you are agreeing to regular bi monthly payments in exchange for long term interest savings on your loan. Since you already have your mortgage, what is the product being autoshipped?

Your dollars into your bank’s business accounts.

Many people object to the autoship feature of network marketing companies they look at as a major disadvantage to joining a company. They see the autoship feature as a negotiable expense. I recently spoke with a couple from another company who had 700 distributors in their downline. They were frustrated because they had no income. Their company did not promote autoship. Neither did they and their income was zero. If Fortune 500 Companies use autoship, why not incorporate that feature into your business?

Distributors who make 100,000 or more in their respective companies promote and use autoship.

Know the compensation plan. What is so special about your compensation plan? The compensation plan was designed for you to make money. Every compensation plan has a series of steps or building blocks that allow you to progress and make more money. Each company usually has starter kits that fit into the compensation plan in such a way that you can maximize the way in which you build your business. As an example, your company rewards you for building 10, 000 in volume points over a month. You have three packages to help new distributors get started with. One package is worth 100 points, another is worth 500 points and the other is worth 1250 points. Which package allows you to build the fastest? Which the slowest? Which allows you to build with momentum, which does not?

You must always have value in mind for your new distributor no matter which package you promote. If you put people into the highest priced package because it benefits you, your business will not last long.

Distributors who make 100, 000 or more in their respective companies promote the highest value package their company offers, understand the value that package offers to new distributors and teach their teams to do the same.

Practice and teach a duplicable system. Your team must be using a duplicable system. Your potential sponsor may tell you that actions XY and Z are what the team does, but are those truly the actions your potential sponsor does? Is your potential sponsor using landing pages and generating his or her own super qualified leads via the internet while telling you and the rest of their team to buy leads? Does your potential sponsor have systems in place that sift and sort leads so that he spends his time with only the most qualified prospects while the rest of the team makes “courtesy calls” to lists of unqualified leads? Does your sponsor tell you to make a list of 50 to 100 names while he actively seeks out new business partners with networks in the thousands? Does your potential sponsor tell you to leave business cards in bathrooms and book stores while he actively runs advertising campaigns in the local paper or on line?

Distributors who make 100,000 or more in their respective companies have systems that a new person can tap into out of the gate. If they are building with a web-based solution, they have websites, infrastructure and training that a new associate can tap into for a small fee. Distributors who make 100, 000 or more understand the value of duplication and readily share with their teams their success strategies so that their team members can duplicate their success.

There you have it, the key principles to creating a 6 figure network marketing business. To recap they are

1) autoship
2) know the compensation plan
3) practice and teach duplicable systems

Practice and teach these principles and you will be well on your way to creating a 6 figure network marketing business.

The Trump Network Has the Name Recognition, But What Else? By Glinda F Harris

Trump Network boasts to be the company that can provide you with the nutrition that suits your body type, by using new methods. For a household name like Donald Trump to have a network marketing company speaks volumes.

5 things you DON"T need to build a large profitable network marketing business.

5 things you DON"T need to build a large profitable network marketing business.

1. Degrees and/or Credential  

Thousands of people have been successful in networking without the benefit of college degrees and such. One of my personal most successful mentors is a high school dropout. Since networking is so unlike other businesses, the rules are different here. It’s quite possible, actually quite common, to build a large successful organization without having any credentials or degrees.

An argument could almost be made against having diplomas in this business, for people may feel that because their sponsor has an advanced business degree — they need one too. This is not duplicatable and entirely unnecessary. If you or your sponsor has a degree, great. It’s just not necessary for success in network marketing.

2. Others Peoples Approval  

Of anyone, except yourself. Sometimes even your spouse may not approve of your network marketing business. This is actually a frequent initial response, but we’ve seen thousands of people who have built huge businesses without the help of their spouse. Of course, after that, the spouse usually comes on board enthusiastically and things really take off.

One of the hardest facts of business to face is that not everybody is ready for success, or is as enlightened as you.

Don’t be at all surprised to find that some of your closest friends and family members will ridicule you; not join your organization and/or even listen to a presentation; question your sanity; ask why someone with a “real” job would “mess around with one of those multi-level deals”; or all of the above. Then they will feel obligated to regale you with horror stories of people who “got a horrible rash just drinking that stuff,” or have “a garage full of that stuff they can’t get rid of.”

It’s best to give these “well-meaning” souls a wry smile, thank them for their input and get away from them as quickly as possible.

3. A Network Of Your Friends And Family  

Now please don’t misunderstand; if you get them in your group, great! I know families with three generations in their networking business and it’s a beautiful thing to behold. Other times, the hardest presentation you ever give might be to a family member or best friend.

Sometimes you just can’t be a prophet in your own hometown. Direct selling is full of individuals who have built networks in the thousands without having a single member of their family, or so-called best friends, in their group. I know, because I’m one of them.

4. Negative Uninformed Advice  

Oftentimes a new distributor will get involved with network marketing and get all kinds of well-meaning advice from friends who have never built a networking business.

If you want to know how to fly airplanes, you must get advice from an expert pilot. If you want to build a network, look at your sponsorship line and find someone who has already built a large network. Those are the people to seek out for advice.

5. Perfection 

The perfect company, product line, or compensation plan hasn’t been invented yet. Like every- thing in nature, it must evolve. Your job is to look at the whole picture — and if the pluses outweigh the minuses — get started.

If you sit around waiting for perfection — you’ll be waiting forever. Don’t make the mistake many novices make which is to think that they can’t do anything until they have tried every single product, read every scrap of literature and completely understood every minute detail of the compensation plan.

The important thing is to get started and learn as you go. Having said that:

One of the most important things I can assure you you WILL need to build a large & profitable network marketing organization is an effective coach.
