In Network Marketing You Must Start With The End in Mind

by Leave a Comment

In order to achieve network marketing success you must work your business from the back to the front. In other words and you’ve heard it before, you must begin with the end in mind. Take a look at the compensation plan or marketing plan from your company and begin immediately building your business with the top or leading position in mind. Once you begin to understand exactly what the qualifications are you have to work to make it happen.

Network Marketing Success Starts With Understanding the Comp Plan

Understand that when you decide to work your business from the top position down, you have made the first step that would put you on the path to reaching it. There is a saying, and the first time I heard it, I was at leadership training with Gloria Mayfield Banks, a top producing National with Mary Kay and Joanne Barnes, another top producing Mary Kay National and that saying is, “Inherent in the seed of the tree is the tree.” What it means is simply this: Before a tree is planted, it is a seed, but when you plant the seed in the soil, is it not already a large oak tree?

Indeed, it is. Even before it was watered and it bloomed, it was a tree, but in the form of a seed, most people can’t see it as being a large beautiful oak tree that will provide lots of shade. Based on this analogy, isn’t that seed (you) already at the top position of the plan? The answer is Yes. When you decide to go all the way to top, you must begin to act as if you’re already there. You already are who you were meant to be or who you’re going to be. It’s just a matter of you deciding to walk in your destiny.

When you think about it from that perspective, you’re already a National Vice President or Regional Vice President or Sr. RVP  or whatever that top position is in your marketing plan and resources from the best push notifications company could help a lot with  messages and alerts for marketing notifications. It  doesn’t matter whether the documentation has caught up with you or not, that shouldn’t stop you from beginning to act like that top performer.

Network Marketing Success Leaves Clues

If there is someone currently at the top position in your network marketing company, begin to model that person. The beauty about this industry is that you do not have to re-invent the wheel, you can just look at the actions of those who have already made it and duplicate their success. And when you duplicate them, you have to duplicate just about everything.

Ask yourself, what kind of car does the top producer drive? What kind of clothes do they wear? How do they speak? What kinds of things do they constantly talk about or promote? Pay close attention to these factors because success leaves clues all over the place and you want to pick up on every clue out there so you can duplicate it.

Copying someone is the highest form of flattery in this world, so trust me when I tell you that if you copy someone in network marketing who has had a tremendous amount of success, you will certainly not create an enemy: what you will create is a tremendous amount of wealth for yourself. It is powerful, but don’t believe what I say, try it for yourself.

Network Marketing is Not a Pyramid Scheme

by Leave a Comment

The network marketing industry is not made up of pyramid schemes.  People often believe that the person on top will always be on top and that no one can rise above that person or team.  This is simply not true.  Time and time again, new people are signing up for network marketing organizations and blowing past current leaders, and as I type this sentence, someone is getting blown past right now.

Corporate America is the real pyramid scheme

Nevertheless, people continue to perpetuate this myth.  If anyone took time to do some analysis, they discover that Corporate America America, as well as the United States government are set up like pyramids.  When you look at the organizational structure of most corporations, you find at the top a CEO/President and maybe some Sr Vice Presidents under them and some Vice Presidents under them and then some Sr. Directors under them and then Directors, Managers, etc.  And what you might notice is that the closer you get to the top the smaller the number and the closer you get to the bottom, you will find more people.  Hmmm!!!  Sounds like the shape of a pyramid to me.

The most ironic thing about this structure is that when you’re hired by a Corporation, you’re not hired as the President in most cases.  Quite frankly in most cases you’re hired at the bottom of the pyramid and you’re expected to work your way to the top.  But how possible is that when the people at the top are constantly fighting to maintain their positions of power and prestige?  How long do you think it would take you to get to the top of your corporation?  If you answered a long time, you’re probably right.

Unlike Corporate America, network marketing is the only opportunity that allows you to start at the top.  You can get started with most Direct Sales companies for less than $500.00.  Where else can you start up a business or franchise with such a small investment and then turn around and work your way to millionaire status?  Only in network marketing can you do such a thing and that is the beauty of this industry.  In network marketing the playing field is level.  The industry doesn’t care if you’re black, white, fat or tall or skinny.  All this industry cares about is your passion and desire for success.  When you embrace a network marketing opportunity with an open mind and a willingness to be coached, you will be transformed.

 

 

90% of Network Marketers will fail…

by Leave a Comment

Why are most network marketers failing? The answer is simple. They don’t earn enough income. The truth of the matter is they spend more money than they earn and they don’t understand why this is occurring.

So here’s the truth behind it all. Every new business owner MUST invest in their business, whether it’s network marketing or something else. The initial investment is always greater than the return.

Statistics show that it takes the average business owner 3 to 5 years to turn a healthy profit from a new business.

Why do network marketers believe their experience will be any different?

Here’s a fact: most network marketers enter the industry with no business experience at all. They don’t understand that building a successful network marketing business takes time and money and they quit before they ever really get started.  Many have an employee mentality, so instead of earning an income, they look forward to receiving a check.  They don’t understand that they’re no longer trading dollars for hours.

Most people in the industry earn on average $300 per month. But no one ever tells them what to do with that money.

A good 3-step strategy for someone entering into this industry is to:

  1. Keep your full-time job.
  2. Take the income you do earn and save 50% of it and re-invest the other 50%
  3. Set yourself up to earn additional streams of income by tapping into your passions and resources available to you.

Why is it that most people don’t tell anyone this? Well, I would guess that it’s simply because most people don’t know. The average person enters the field and quickly becomes disenfranchised because they don’t make enough and they spend most of what they earn investing in products, business tools, sales conferences, buying leads and training.

Let’s be clear, I am not saying that this is the wrong thing to do, because it is absolutely – THE RIGHT thing to do.

The real problem is that most people do exactly what the 90% who fail do. They get all of the information, training and tools and they sit on it and never take action.

As a matter of fact, 90% of the people reading this post will not take one action to achieve success.

So what’s the solution to the problem?

Network Marketers can put a plug in the hole in the bucket that is literally causing them to spend more money than they make by following a system like the Network Marketing Training Center which teaches how to generate upfront cash on their prospecting process and creating multiple streams of income.

This upfront cash can then be used to fund your advertising, business tools, sales conferences, and other costs associated with your business. This is called a funded proposal or some people call it Get Paid Today (G.P.T.)

 

 

 

Network Marketing is not for the faint at heart

by Leave a Comment

I can tell you from personal experience that network marketing is not for the faint at heart.  Bear with me while I tell you my story of how I climbed to the top of my network marketing company’s comp plan back in October 2005…It was October 31,2005, a Halloween night and I was soooo close to the getting the final numbers that I needed to become a 3 Diamond National Vice President with my company which was called Warm Spirit.  (Warm Spirit is now currently closed as an mlm, but I believe one of the founders still sells a few products via the website.)  But I felt like I was running for office.  The good part about the team that I was working with was the fact that they were all committed.  They wanted to be a part of the experience of breaking a National Vice President.  They also wanted to promote themselves up the compensation plan.  You see I had poured so much into the team that they were excited and ready to take their commitment to the organization to the next level.  We had something back then which so many network marketing organizations lack today and that is a commitment to the team.

Become a Network Marketing Leader

 

We operated on the concept of “One Band, One Sound”, which is a concept that I got from the movie Drumline.  I firmly trained and communicated to the team that our success was dependent on the success of each other and that if one person was presenting the opportunity wrong, then they were ruining the opportunity for everyone.  So I constantly explained the importance of all of us doing the same thing and saying the same thing.  I also trained that one person’s success represented everyone’s success.  It was a T.E.A.M. thing.  We understood that Together Everyone Achieves More.  Also, if there was one thing that our team understood it was that they could count on me to be there in the trenches holding it down for them, which is the reason why when it came down to pulling out a successful win and a title of National Vice President for me, Executive for several of them and Product Manager for so many others, they were ALL IN.

So on that night, everyone was all in.  The phones were ringing like crazy.  I looked absolutely crazy and I was thankful that it was Halloween.  That night the team pulled in over $100,000 in production.  I received my first 5-figure check and became the first and ONLY 3 Diamond National Vice President on the East Coast.  Bam!  We did it.  But like I said, it felt as if I was running for office.  I was constantly checking the volume and working my spreadsheets to see if all the numbers were falling in the right place.  I was on the phone with corporate constant checking and double-checking to make sure that when the clock turned and the numbers were ran that I didn’t fall short of what I needed to qualify.  It was nuts.  It was exhilarating and it was also fun.  But it’s not for the faint at heart.

I was recently told that if you want something bad enough that you will do what it takes to get it done and that the difference between those who make it and those who don’t is that those individuals who will have – THE WILL TO DO IT!  They have the burning desire in their hearts to make it happen.  I had that.  And in network marketing you need that.  You need to be committed.  But you also need to be a leader.  Those individuals that constantly sit in the audience and take notes but never put anything into action won’t win.  But those who execute on the information and then have the courage to get up in front of the room to take about it and train about it are the ones that you will see rise to the top.

I have found that the key to network marketing success has everything to do with, creating your own success story, becoming the person that everyone wants to follow and to share, share, share.  The best thing you can do when you find something that works is share it.  Don’t hold anything back.  Become the go to person and make yourself irresistible.  Build your team on a solid foundation of trust and follow the “One Band, One Sound” mantra and you will not only succeed, but you will go straight to the top.  Take it from me because I did it.

 

Lawrence Tam – Network Marketing Legend or Myth?

by Leave a Comment

Lawrence Tam will probably end up being one of those guys that will go down in Internet Network Marketing history as a legend.  He is someone that I have personally watched transform and grow over the past 4 years.  I remember when he was a part of Cedrick Harris’ Team Takeover and he was a member of a group and I had the opportunity to ask him at the time what was the key to his success and he said to me “blogging”.   Back when he said it to me the answer was so simple I didn’t want to accept it.  I asked him, “What do you blog about?” and he said, “Anything.”

I Admire Lawrence Tam

I must say that Lawrence Tam is one person that I admire in the network marketing and internet marketing industry and the reason why I admire him so much is for the fact that basically tells it all.  I think the one thing that he realized was that even if he revealed everything that he did, people still wouldn’t do it, so why hold back.  I’ve discovered the same thing.  You can reveal step by step ALL of your secrets and people still will not follow what it is that you say.  I don’t know if it’s because they still don’t believe you or what the reason is, but for some reason people just don’t seem to believe anything.

Lawrence is probably one of the most honest and sincere upfront guys that you would ever meet online.  He is open and he shares freely, but people still give him a hard time.  Network Marketing is simple and pretty easy when you put it into practice and incorporate some online skills into your prospecting efforts.  But here is the truth of the matter, IT TAKES WORK.

To create a blog post on a regular basis takes time and effort.  Also, to make sure that your blog post are optimized for the keyword that you’re targeting also takes some time and effort.  To get to the level of skill that successful network marketers who are marketing online like Mr. Tam does, also requires a budget.  It costs money. It also requires time for you to learn new skills and how to use new tools from even if you’re seeking the help of an Internet marketing company Tampa.

Lawrence Tam initially made his money with My Lead System Pro, Empower Network and Visalus.  I know that he’s still with Empower Network, which is a hybrid Affiliate/MLM company.  I don’t know if he’s still with Visalus because they don’t want their leaders involved with anything other than Visalus.  But Lawrence is smart.  He’s honed his internet marketing skills and now he markets other affiliate programs and has become like one another one of my mentors, Daegan Smith a master of multiple streams of income.

Lawrence Tam is definitely a legend and will go down in history is a master of the internet network marketing universe.  I would urge anyone to follow him and his teachings because I know that he’s taught me a lot and I know that you can learn a lot from him too.
