Network Marketing Leadership- Leadership in MLM MUST be in the FAST Lane of Success

MLM Network Marketing Training -The Secrets of Working Network Marketing FAST!
Doug Firebaugh


I had an upline once tell me, who by the way, has done 6 BILLION in this industry, that you need to work your business fast, not slow, and rapidly, not timidly. And if you did this one thing, your Network Marketing business would become easier. It would start to build some momentum, and build some real Power within it.

I listened to him, and went to work speeding up my efforts and focus, and increase the speed of everything I did. I did not become a maniac, but did put more activitiy in an hour than I used to. I wanted to build a better and bigger business. And besides, I had not done 6 Billion in volume, and he had!

You know, he was SO right! My business started increasing and building quicker, and it actually became easier to work like he said it would.

If you work this MLM business fast, and put the pedal to the metal, it becomes easier and more rewarding. For whatever reason, the results you get also improve a lot.

Why?

I have found there are Three Major Reasons for Working Network Marketing Fast:

1) The right people have a tendency to show up if you work this business fast and the wrong people have a tendency to show up if you work this business slow.

That is so true.

Because when you work this MLM business fast, you exude a certain energy that attracts the right people, and also they can see that you are someone that really wants to get things done.

People have a tendency to be attracted to higher energy people, and when you display that energy, it does act like a magnet and draw people towards you at a quicker pace, and in everything you do.

2) You have a tendency to be more focused, more determined, and more serious.

People who are determined, focused, and serious, do not play with this business. They are like a heat seeking missile -- dead on to the target and won't be denied. Working MLM slow has little appeal to them.

Focus is a key element for Success in a home business, and when you become more focused, it has a tendency to build your determination, and seriousness of your efforts. It will require focus for you to put more activity in an hour, as well as determination to keep you focused.

3) Your thinking and mindset changes.

When you kick it into overdrive, and do more activity in a day than most do in a week, you will find your whole perspective on this business changes.

And you will realize what it really takes to succeed massively in MLM, and life itself.

Will it be FAST MLM or Slow for you?

Will it be Fast Network Marketing or Slow for you?

Are you now working FAST or slow?

The word FAST in MLM stands for:

"Fuel Accelerating Success Track"

Truly, working this business fast is a Success Fuel for your life!

The word Slow stands for:

"Stagnation (and) Losing Over-power Winning"...

It seems that Stagnation and Losing many times become too strong of a resisting force to Win at MLM, when you work slow.

Yes, you can succeed at network marketing working it slow, but most of the millionaires I have met(including my former upline's success and mine) in the industry have worked it in overdrive, to fight and overcome stagnation and losing in the long run.

What is your choice???

May I suggest you work MLM FAST -- and get on the fast lane of Success in Network Marketing!

Network Marketing Leadership MLM Leads- The Top 5 Traits

MLM Leads- The 5 Traits of a Good MLM Lead.
Doug Firebaugh

There are certain traits that you look for in a good MLM lead. After working a TON of leads, and blessed to having built an organization worldwide, I have found that all good MLM Lead have 5 traits in common, with no exception. These traits you look for, and if you find that a lead has at least 3 of them you have a great possibility for your business. And MLM Leads can also end up being one of the best revenue sources for you, but first, find these traits. If you do, you will strike GOLD. These traits are common sense in many respects, but many times are rare to find.

1) A GREAT Personality.

One of the KEY traits that we have found is an infectious personality. A personality that truly shines and glows. You can feel their warmth over the telephone, and sincerity. They have the type of personality that you simply want to be around, and talk to.

You know the type. For whatever reason, you ENJOY the conversation with them, and they are always positive, and optimistic. They have a tendency to make you glad that you talked to them, and you are drawn towards them

This type of MLM Lead can be a gold mine, as they usually hang out with people of the same personality, and same outlook on life. They rarely are down, and when you call them they always seem glad you called.


2) High Energy.

Another KEY traits to look for is High Energy. But let me be clear: High Energy is NOT hype. There are many folks out there that you will call that will try to HYPE you into believing you have found the GOLD MINE you have been looking for, and will tell you all about how great they are.

High Energy people don’t really talk that much about themselves, but what they are doing. They focus on the engagement of actions and results, and you can FEEL their energy radiate form the phone and any communication they do. They can GET THINGS DONE, and refuse to quit during adversity. Plus, they have a great approach to Success in Life and Network Marketing- they have a philosophy of WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON????

3) Great People Skills.

This trait is HUGE. They MUST feel comfortable with people. Especially people they do not know. In MLM, you will communicate and work with a lot of folks that you do not know. And if you find that your MLM Lead has great people skills, you will have found a great potential for Success in network marketing.

People skills include friendliness, good listener, sincere, great communicator, and loves people. If a person truly loves people, they will go a LONG WAY to being a Success as an MLM lead.

4) A Good Listener.

An MLM Lead that is a good listener will end up being a better recruiter than most. Recruiting is all about listening to the prospect.. If you fins that the MLM Lead asks questions, and then LISTENS and them asks more questions,. You have found a good possibility for a recruit. Listening is the MASTER skill in Communication in Network Marketing, and Recruiting. A good listener is hard to find, but they are out there.

Does the MLM Lead talk more than they listen? Do they try and dominate the conversation? Do they try and impress you? If this is the case, they probably do not have a great listening pattern established. But if they do listen to you, ask questions, and then ask more questions that make sense to ask, then you have found a potential gold mine for recruiting and building an organization.

5) Available when they said they would be.

This is a HUGE trait that many MLM leads do not have. If a prospect says to call them back in 2 days, and you do, and they continue the conversation as before, you have a good one. Many MLM leads will not available at the time you call, because they had no intention to begin with of doing your business. A person of their word, who shows up for a return call like they said they would, is a person of integrity.

Many people will attempt to play hide and seek as an MLM lead, and that is just part of the business. If they do not show up like they said they would, that is an issue that you may want to consider in the future, as all Future Great Leaders keep their word.

And here is a BONUS Trait- DISSATISFIED. A Great MLM lead MUST be dissatisfied with their income, life, future, or something. You are to help them change what they are not happy with in their life, with your products and company. If they are Dissatisfied, then that means they are probably LOOKING for something better. Help them find it.

These are the 5 Traits you should look for in a great lead. Yes, there are other traits that you will MLM leads, but these are the ones that we found to be worth GOLD in this business of working MLM Leads.

Network Marketing Leadership Training- The Hidden Secrets of MLM

MLM Network Marketing Training- Perseverance is the Secret to MLM Success

Helga’s first try at establishing her jewelry store failed. After re-evaluating her experience, she opened another jewelry store. Helga is now the proud owner of three successful stores.Helga didn’t fail in her first attempt. Failure occurs when we quit or stop trying. Especially in Network marketing.

Helga has perseverance - “stick-to-itiveness.”Perseverance is the key to success. After thousands of efforts to make the electric light bulb, Thomas Edison said, “I haven’t failed, I’ve identified 10,000 ways that it doesn’t work.” Mario Lemieux, Helen Keller, Abraham Lincoln, Marie Curie and an endless list of other great MLM achievers found that success inevitably arrives for everyone who perseveres.

Acquiring a desired job or promotion, or succeeding at an MLM business may present difficulties. But this is part of the learning process. Ultimately, people who persevere become successful. They learn from mistakes.Do you persevere? Or, after meeting rejection or difficulties, do you quit?

Test Your Perseverance Quotient


Rate yourself – on a scale of one to three, one being low and three being high – on each of the following:

I believe in myself. I have clear career goals. I address my limitations. I bounce back from disappointment. I have the stamina to persist. My family and friends support me in my pursuit of goals. I can adapt to change. I focus and complete projects. My goals are consistent with my purpose and values.
I can take unpopular actions when I believe I’m right.

Add your scores. The higher your score, the more perseverant you are.

Tips for Persevering

Clarify your goal. Base it on your mission/passion, needs and abilities. Know why you want your goal and how you and others will benefit.

State your goal in the present. Write desired outcomes, what you want to accomplish. Be detailed, specific, positive.

Intend to achieve you goal. Outline goal, strategies and timeline for your home business. Know resources that can help you attain your goal, such as people, associations and the Internet. Break the goal into small steps, working backward form your desired outcome and achievement date.

Develop support systems. Meet regularly with positive, encouraging people who support your goals and celebrate your achievements. Select other sources of positive reinforcement such as books or tapes with uplifting themes.

Choose productive attitudes and behaviors. Don’t dwell in the past, worry about what might happen or view yourself as a victim.

Maintain optimism. Reinforce the positive in yourself and others. Expect good things. Watch self-talk. Replace negative thoughts or statements with positive ones. Keep a diary of each day’s good experiences.

Focus on what you can do. Acknowledge your accomplishments. Judge your accomplishments against personal standards of self-improvements.

Have the courage of your convictions. Don’t change for others or compare yourself with others.

Develop the will to risk. Don’t fear mistakes. Ask: ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ Decide whether you could live with the worst or take steps to reduce the chance of it happening.

Research your goal to reduce negative outcomes. For example, interview successful people who have achieved similar goals in MLM. Learn from their mistakes.

Live in the present. Don’t worry about what might happen. View mistakes as opportunities to grow in Network Marketing.

Let go of attachments. The more attached you are to something, the greater the fear of losing it.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Care for you mind, body, emotions and spirit. Schedule quiet times to think and reassess. Practice stress relievers such as deep breathing, exercise, meditation. Get sufficient sleep, eat healthy. Take time for fun and friends.

Practice imagery. Imagine yourself living your goal today. Hold your desired outcome firmly in your mind. See, smell, touch and hear aspects of your goal. Each morning upon rising, review your goal. Repeat the process at night.


Persist. Focus on goals daily. With every “no” of defeat you’re closer to a “yes” of success. If you learn from set-backs and stay on course, success will follow. Every day, at regular intervals, ask yourself whether your activities are helping you attain your goal.

Believe you’ll attain your goal. Persevere. When your mind, emotions and activities focus on your goal, you can achieve the extraordinary.

Network Marketing Leadership Blog- The Secrets of Networking in Any Event

The Secrets to Networking In Any Event


The right marketing strategy can help you build and maintain business relationships.

To maximize your time and energy, and make sure the contacts you make remain valuable, you need to prepare and stay organized before, during, and after each event. The keys are to be consistent in the way in which you organize your information, and keep your system up to date.

Before the event

Prior to entering the room, have a specific purpose in mind. What type of event are you attending?

Networking can be done at events ranging from a formal Chamber of Commerce meeting to a dinner party. How many people do you want to meet? What type of professional or business are you looking for? Are you looking for clients or contacts? Remember, most people have a sphere of contacts in the 200-250 range, so a contact could ultimately prove more valuable than a client. What kind of information do you want to collect—business cards, addresses, emails?

Prepare an “elevator speech”- a 10-20 second commercial about what you do and the specific benefits you offer. The goal of this commercial is to generate further interest. Some people will want to know more, so prepare an extended version, outlining how you help people specifically, through a program you’ve developed, a service you provide, or a product in which you have expertise.

Prepare some MLM materials that you can send to interested contacts. Have a brochure, outline of services, sample product, article, anything that you can mention during the event, and then send out. Again, the goal of a networking event is to generate interest in your Network Marketing service or product, and maintain the connections you make. The number of contacts is not as important as the quality.

During the event

During the event, you want to do three things.

First, when you interact, emphasize quality over quantity. This is easier said than done. The only way to know if someone you meet is a prospect is to focus the conversation on them—what they do, how they do it, the types of leads they’relooking for. As Jay Levinson writes in Guerrilla Marketing, “Realize that all long-term relationships are reciprocal. If you help strangers, they’re far more likely to want to work with you in the future.”

Second, ask for two business cards from contacts. Offer to pass the second on to a friend or colleague that might be interested.

Third, make sure to make a note at the back of each card you receive, if you think that person can be a contact. Jot down where you met them and any reminder details, such as “…looking for a printer”or “…opened their business last month”. If you’re collecting a lot of cards and you don’t have time to make notations, you can bend the corner of the card to remind you that this person is a definite follow-up contact. The bottom line is that the more information you have about someone, the better your chances of a successful follow-up.

Follow-up

If you’ve done your homework at the event, you should have a group of business cards and names that you can sort. Only a handful may be truly valuable, and these you want to give the “gold treatment”. They will become part of your permanent database.

Immediately after the event, send a short handwritten notecard or letter to the contact, that briefly recaps what you discussed. Then offer to refer appropriate business to them, should it come your way.

Add the relevant contact information to your database, including information on what constitutes a good referral to that person. Also indicate whatever correspondence you have shared. Whenever you come across an article or clipping that might be of interest to your contact, send it.

Review your database regularly and frequently. Develop a keep-in-touch strategy that helps to maintain and nurture your contacts. According to marketing expert Robert Middleton, this strategy is the most important vehicle for establishing long-term business relationships.

Proper networking can make the difference between MLM success and failure. Networking is not a one-shot deal, and building relationships is key to building a successful business. By preparing for every event, organizing our information, and practicing excellent follow-through, we can massively increase our success at networking.

If you can formally integrate these principles into your marketing strategy, you’ll find that you can apply keep-in-touch marketing to your daily life. Networking happens every day—at the hairdressers, a friend’s dinner party, little league game—and if you can recognize and maintain valuable contacts, you’ll find your success increasing dramatically.

Network Marketing Leadership MLM Training Blog- It's ALL about Customers!

Network Marketing: Its All About Customers
Copyright © 2003 Priya Shah

Leadership, Visualization, Goal-setting, blah, blah...

All network marketers have heard that jargon at one time or another. But you know what? It's just that - Jargon.

When you share with your team, the lessons you have learnt while building your business - that's MLM Leadership.

When you imagine that new car or house on the beach, that you're going to buy next year with the income from your business - now that's Visualization.

And when you plan exactly how you're going to go about getting that new car or house - well, that's Goal-setting.

It's that simple...

And yet people complicate it so much that they write entire books, and have entire courses to teach you these "skills."

But they're missing the whole point, really. Because network marketing is really about customers.

Think about it.

Why do companies get into network marketing? DUH. To sell products, of course!

And why do they choose to sell their products through network marketing?

Because network marketing is really the most efficient way of selling products.

After all it's all about people selling (or recommending) products they USE to their own network of friends and acquaintances. To people who TRUST them.

So if you want to serve your customers better through your network marketing business, here are a few things to ask yourself.

1. Are you in the service business or recruitment business?

If you are in the business of helping people - whether to become healthier, or financially independent - you should consider yourself as providing a service. And a service runs on customers.

Sure, there are plenty of people out there who want to start a home business or join a business opportunity.

But if you focus on the opportunity, you'll be competing with a whole lot of other, more established networking companies, for a new prospect's time and money.

Instead, if you focus on your products (and I'm assuming they are unique, excellent products that meet a real need), you'll have very little competition.

Besides, it's so much easier to sell a product than to sell a dream.

2. Is your product right for them?

I've seen people recommending their products to customers as a "miracle" solution to all their problems. This is not only misleading, but is bound to backfire.

Ask yourself - are there other options for my customers? Are there cheaper, perhaps more effective options, that can help them?

Perhaps they can't afford your product right now. Or perhaps there are other, albeit less effective options, that might meet their immediate needs better.

Almost everyone needs to get healthier, or richer. But how they choose to achieve their goals should be their choice, not yours.

Certainly, give your customers all the information they need about your products. It's not your duty to suggest alternatives.

But sometimes the best way you can serve them is by letting them know that they are free to explore their options and get back to you when they've decided that your product meets their needs best.

You'll not only have a grateful customer, but also build trust and goodwill. Your customer will think of you as someone to depend on, and come back to you when they need advice.

Yes, you might lose a customer, but you'll have gained a friend.

3. Do they really need the business opportunity?

Once you get a new customer, do you instantly start shoving the business opportunity down their throat? If so, you're doing them a disservice.

Yes, do show your customer how they can reduce (or even completely recover) their costs by becoming a distributor and recommending the products to their friends.

Offer them what they want - a cheaper way to purchase your products.

But also accept that some of them may just want to keep buying MLM products without ever building a business.

And appreciate them for contributing to your paycheck.


Ultimately all business is about building trust. So the next time you process an order or answer a query, focus on building a relationship, rather than a business.

If you're a friend to your customer and do what's right for them, you can be secure in the knowledge that what goes around will definitely come around.
