My mentor Marcello Lisi built his business to diamond but for 2 years he received no income from it for complex personal reasons. Yet he kept building and what kept him going was his team. This is a fantastic example of Zig Ziglar’s advice that if you help others to get what they want, you will receive everything you want.
Right in the midst of dark times is when our integrity is tested. Yet that is just the time to hold true to our principles. Such a philosophy and integrity is something we should all emulate.

This is an incredibly exciting time to be a part of the network marketing industry. We can all raise the bar by working together. Take inspiration from this video and the links shown there. People like Art Jonak, Ken Dunn and Orjan Saele are outstanding leaders. They are showing us how we can support one another without any agenda – to the benefit of everyone.
The tips that Ken shares are priceless. You can learn a whole new take on prospecting from a master. If you follow the link shown at the end of the video, you will go to Art’s YouTube channel where you can view the series (so far 5 and counting). [click to continue…]
In my previous post we reached a point where your prospect realises he wants to make some changes and he asks you what you do. Try the magic words ‘which means’ to connect your business to one of your products or services:
“I am in the skin care business which means that we have this wonderful moisturizer that makes your skin look 20 years younger in only 45 seconds a day.”
You’re telling a story at the same time and you know how powerful stories are. Then he asks how much money he can make. Pick a figure that you feel matches your prospect’s desires.
Don’t suggest $10,000 a month to a guy who is only just earning enough to feed his kids – he won’t believe you. And if you are talking to a company CEO, maybe 10 thousand a month is just peanuts. [click to continue…]
Most people – about 90% – are sales resistant, even if they are prospects for your business. So how can you overcome this?
In my last post I shared a question that Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter suggested as a way to get people to open up and say genuinely whether they enjoy what they do for a living. As I said, most people will not be interested in joining your business. The way of the entrepreneur is not right for the majority. That is a fact so there is no point in going against that and pitching everyone. It will get you a bad reputation. But if they show interest….
Let’s look at a key phrase that is often used and guaranteed to have people fold their arms, sit back and say ‘no’. “Would you be interested in?” Wow, is that a bad one. It brings up all the alarm bells. Why? Because it immediately implies that they may have to part with money or sign their lives away.
I went to a workshop with Tom ‘Big Al’ Schreiter a couple of days ago. Chatting with him afterwards, he said “I don’t really believe in the Law of Attraction that much.” Well that floored me when you think how much we all talk about attracting the right people, positive attitudes etc. but he went on to say that although all the positive self talk and dreams are important, we must develop skills to turn all the positive affirmations into success.
I think too many people who have watched the film ‘The Secret’ come away with the idea that all you need to do is to have big dreams, vision boards overflowing with pictures, loads of positive mental attitude and success is yours. Not so easy.
Like Big Al said, if you are negative you will surely push people away. But if you are positive and you are talking to a lot of people, yet still not building a big business, something is missing. [click to continue…]
Sometimes people see the typical entrepreneur as someone out there working away on his own. Is ‘team MLM’ really so important? A lot of folk say that ‘if it is to be, it’s up to me’. Does that rule out being a good team player? Let me tell you how it was for me back [...]
A blog can be great tool to brand yourself as an MLM professional; to build relationships; to meet people, maybe new business partners and to learn by connecting you with the community of bloggers. But is it working? How well oiled is it? Are people actually finding it? Driving traffic to your blog is not [...]
Most of you who read this will likely be avid online business builders and pretty internet savvy. The trouble is that because we all live and work in this rarefied atmosphere, we think everyone else does too. The fact is that about 80% of people are not really at ease with the internet. Sure many [...]
“Prelaunch; get in now; great positions available………” You hear it all the time. The first thing you must know is that 90% of start-up companies don’t survive past the first year. Of those that do, the majority fall before five years. For sure every company has to start and if nobody joined them, our whole [...]
Sounds like a basic business expense. A lot of guys do it. You buy leads over a period but the payback is getting great new people in your business. The volume they add to your business wipes out any cash you laid out. After all any business has a basic cost. The leads you buy [...]
