Friends,
This morning I have decided to talk about this issue because it has been something that I have seen ALOT over the years. You know, I myself have tried numerous different companies and failed but in MOST cases it was not the companies fault it was strictly my own. What do I mean by that? Well, at some point you have to stop pointing fingers and reflect on your business strategies and how you are presenting yourself to potential associates and customers. It wasn’t until really the past couple of years that I was able to do so. In this short blog, I’ll show you exactly where I went wrong and how YOU can avoid making the same mistakes and begin seeing the success you crave!
Listen, mlm is not a “get quick rich” thing. It never has been and it never will. LOL….funny thing is most people know this but we are blown away with enthusiasm that we think that we’ll be rolling in money come Monday morning. Monday morning arrives and your bank account is still sitting at $0.00. Your upset and frustrated…beginning to feel discouraged.
I was short on money and the end of the month was knocking at the backdoor. I kept telling myself, “Well, if I just get my 3, who in turn gets their 3, then my monthly membership is paid for!”
You know it’s funny because I just thought the failure at Mary Kay was due to my own inability to apply makeup to someones face and choose what colors would work best for their skin tone. Very different from my perspective on things I thought I’d be able to do at the start of my business venture. Listen, I tried. As a matter of fact, my very first party, I had about 7 close friends of mine attend and ended up selling about $749.00 in product. That’s great… BUT… that only helped to cover my initial cost on inventory. Before, prejudgment sets in…let me just say… I had been working steadily every night after work creating presentations, fliers, demos…
…but something was missing, and I couldn’t figure out what?????????
After about a year, I quit MaryKay and blamed MaryKay for all of my headaches and frustration. I took some time off from the mlm industry and pursued a career in Radiology. Then, one day I had went to lunch with my mother, Sherril, and she had just got involved with this company that she swore up and down was the way to go. Her excitement haunted me for about a week, and I decided, “You know what! I’m gonna give it another shot!” And so I did.
Here’s where my leap of faith got me! With this new company I was able to build a down-line of about 9 people in a 3 week time frame. Now, I was excited because with MaryKay, I had not brought ANYONE into the business. However, I had several customers who bought the product. I was astonished. I thought, “I have found the light! I’m gonna make this work!”
However, I kinda ran into luck, I should say, because all 9 of those people were simply recruited directly from my old MaryKay business customer base. It had taken me quite a long time to create a trusting relationship with them in MaryKay. But with having done so, I knew that all it would take from me is a phone to them letting them know that “I have found the secret that we’ve been seeking for so long”…
…The month came and went and as time went by I found myself backpedaling into the same frustrations I had had in the past. I was unable to generate enough leads to grow my business and create that residual income I wanted.
So, I eventually left that company as well.
Finally, after so many months of bad luck and wanting to just throw my hands up, I began searching the internet. I wound up meeting a couple extraordinary people who showed me what I was doing was all WRONG! I had learned that in order to succeed in absolutely any Multilevel profession you need to be able to build rapport and work consistently day after day.
Wow!
All this time I thought that I just didn’t have the magic touch. What I was lacking was not enthusiasm and hard work it was simply rapport.
I had spent so much time marketing my BUSINESS through advertisements and expos searching for those SIGN ME UP TODAY prospects, that I was totally missing out of one of the most basic steps to growing my network marketing business and that is the ability to build a long lasting relationship with my potential clients.
I am going to be straight forward with you here…the key to success in MLM is not locked away for only certain eyes to discover. It is within you! This is a long term, relationship driven opportunity. No one is going to join a business with someone that they may know little to nothing about. You just can’t grow your business that way… it DOES NOT work!
When I had the revolutionary eye opening experience and realized that all I need to do to grow my business was to actually learn to interact and bond with others….my business literally exploded! Within 3 months I was able to grow my organization into more than 900 active distributors and working at it part time. I was using the warm market resources that I still had and attend weekly and monthly meet-up trainings. Occasionally, I would travel to huge seminars and meet with all the top notch gurus of the company and bring back my exclusive one on one interviews to share.
Now, doing things this way was working…please don’t get me wrong! That is until I discovered the internet!
Listen…technology today is totally off the charts when it comes to networking. Now, you’re gonna find people out there that will teach you one click systems that supposedly WORK…let me let you in on a little secret…it’s a total gimmick. As I said, MLM is a relationship driven opportunity. If you wanna succeed and really prosper, you need to be able to connect with others on a more personal level.
The internet itself is one of many tools available to you to help market your business. Now, you have an incredible opportunity to market, anyway you like, to millions globally, at a very fast pace using the internet.
HOWEVER, what you are marketing is no longer your business you are marketing YOU! This may take some time, it is not going to happen over night. Depending on where you stand financially there are a couple different things you could try…
Rollin’ in dough? Try Google Adwords. Now, you are gonna find that you’ll be spending quite a bit of $$$ if you’re not careful. However, if you read up on it and really understand how it works then you can potentially generate alot of leads within your first day. Just do your research and be careful!
Once you have leads, you’ll notice that some will opt in and some won’t. Listen, this isn’t a bad thing! You do not want to spend time and engery on someone that you have to pull teeth to get into your business. All that’s gonna happen is (A) you’ll be their babysitter (B) they’ll be the one’s to run when they don’t see a huge initial paycheck in the mail.
Some other things you need to keep in mind is the fact that you might go on a roller coaster ride when it comes to seeing immediate results. Maybe one week you sign up 5 people and you earn $75 in your affiliate commissions but the following week you have 15 leads and no one has opted into your opportunity or your affiliate programs. This is just part of the GROWING process. Expect it and accept it!
Look, I have personally designed my lead system to allow you to accelerate the process of recruiting representatives 10x’s faster than ever before. You have the ability to build GREAT rapport and True relationships with a MASSIVE audience! It literally closes the door to rejection before it ever has a chance to reach you!
It’s proven and it WORKS!
This is NOT the part where you can click your heals and you are in Hawaii sipping Margaritas. You MUST work it! You Must show that you are able to influence the internet to help grow your business. Let me just say, it’s not that difficult…you CAN do it!
Let me give you an example. Within a month and a half time frame I was about to generate about 6 leads per day and making $25 a day in affiliate commissions. I probably sponsored about 1 person per week. The following month I nearly double! Today, I have far surpassed all of my expectations with my mlm business and I am currently setting new goals to achieve!
Listen, like I said this is NOT overnight success. It takes TIME! First thing’s first, I had to…
