Your Ultimate Objective
"What is the Ultimate Objective in MLM recruiting?" And they went out over a period of 4 months. We got a lot of responses, and some was amazingly off base in it's answers. Here is the breakdown as close as we could get it:

37% said that the Ultimate objective was to get a paycheck
26% said that it was build a downline
22% said it was to create financial security
8% said it was to help people (Great Answer!)

And the rest fell in differing answers... (more...)

How To Build a Duplicating Downline
Most people do not know how to build a duplicating downline, but hopefully with the tips to be presented, one may be able to gather a well generating force that almost immediately translate into a productive MLM business.

Multi-level marketing certainly entails leadership, specifically when building a downline. Since building a downline is only another designation for the recruitment process, great people management skills is important in order for the downline to operate well, and thus duplicate.

A lot of people think that network marketing is a self-generating business, but if that was the case, then no MLM organization would have had failed. Downlines certainly not duplicate on their own, even if the product being marketed is perfect. The people in the downline are to be trained and mentored well or else the business would take no direction and would lastly fall flat. (more...)

Well let me put it to you this way... As a network marketer you should be very familiar with the phrase "Multiple Streams Of Income" am I right?

Applying the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction In Action – With Feedback
“Feeding back what you think you heard”, is a very powerful principle (one of the 4 Natural Selling Principles). It can be more powerful than a magnet and achieve for you and your potential partner or customer amazing results.

I was coaching a group the other day on the phone and we were listening to two participants doing a role play.

At the end of it I asked the person who was being “Called” how she felt about the other person's dialogue and approach. And this is what she said;

Do It Better - repost

Here is a repost from an original article I wrote on my MLM Today blog a little over a year ago. I am motivated to post this item in light of the ongoing focus of the proposed Federal Trade Commission Business Opportunity Rule 511993.

Do it better

Anyone that has been in network marketing for any period of time knows the bad reputation the industry has earned. The common perception is that we are all promoting a illegal pyramid, no matter which company you happen to represent. There is a belief that we are practicing some "bait-and-switch" program.

Get used to it.

Unfortunately, the history of MLM is riddled with abuse. I am optimistic and believe there is a brighter future for the industry. I believe that networking can be promoted ethically, with fairness and honesty, and there does not have to be any victims. The trend of growth in Network Marketing continues to rise and there are many new opportunities for people to consider.

Where does this change come from?

It will come from you and I. The committed networker. The people that have been burned by unethical behavior in their previous experience are leading the charge. It may be incremental change but I am firmly convinced the change is coming. Is it hard? Ask Dave of OntheroadwithDave. He is one of many that have chosen to reject an indoctrinated system for an approach that is consistent with his personal values.

If we commit to do things better and doing things the right way, with integrity and honor for those we encounter in our travels, how could we possibly fail?

Customer Service
Treating a customer properly is more important than making that big sale. I believe that customer service should be the number one priority in any business including MLM. Let's face it, if a customer has a bad experience they may not come back to you and in turn you will lose any referrals from them. Here is something that bothers me and I hope you can relate: Have you ever walked into a store (any store) and the person behind the counter is on the phone and they know you walked in and continue their conversation (which is fine) BUT they don't look at you or even acknowledge to you that they will be with you in a moment.

Good customer service can be elusive regardless of where you call home. Andrew Murphy, author of MLM Canada, has a great blog. Check it out, it is well worth the journey, eh.

The MLM Blog Welcomes Aaron Cook

Well, I've been keeping this somewhat "under wraps" for quite some time now... ever since the end of May, actually. As George Costanza would say... I put it, "in the vault." :P

Back in May I was asked by Ty Tribble to write for the MLM Blog, which I officially started doing today. And it's definitely an honor to do so.

Networking Your Network Marketing Opportunity
Jeff Schuman
For a network marketing opportunity to work you are going to have to network. Networking is simply meeting people who can help you and who you can help. I wonder why that is so hard for people. Generally speaking it is hard because it means getting out of your comfort zone and doing somethng different. Thanks to the internet you can promote your network marketing opportunity by networking through discussion forums in a way that is comfortable for everyone in the group.
