(New ways of online business)Copyright © Jamie Lovering
http://www.NetworkingWithProfit.comI have been involved on and off with network marketing for the last 15 years.
I say on and off as I would join a great company, do all the normal things, build a list of my friends and family, then contact
all my friends and family which would result in various forms of NO, ie not interested, its a scam, get a real job etc, this can be really disheartening
to hear from your "warm market" as you generally respect the opinions of your family and friends and their NO's can have a big impact on your business.
The next option given to me by my upline sponsor was to speak to everyone within 3 feet, which frankly is even worse to do!
At the end of the day I was extremely disheartened, my credit card bills were huge and I had no income residual or otherwise to show for it.
Sound familiar, I think this is why 90% of Network marketers quit. It is so discouraging to have friends and family debunk you
or running from you the second you appear to flog your new opportunity that you end up quitting.
BUT A MAN WITH A DREAM WILL NOT BE DENIED!
I have started and run several succussful traditional businesses and made healthy profits but they all depended on me being present.
If i was not there i failed to earn money which is why I firmly believe the MLM opportunity is an excellent way to make money and create a large income
stream, but it is hard work.
After deciding to take up the MLM dream again I researched several viable companies i thought I could work with and finally selected what I thought
was the best suited to my own personality.
I signed up, bought product and you know what my sponsor (who is quite successful) suggested. Write down a list of everyone you know
or have ever met and start calling them to see if their interested in making extra money. This bought up all my old feelings of rejection
and frustration i had with my previous company so i advised her I'm not comfortable calling my friends and family just yet.
Her answer was no problem so we went out prospecting and you guessed it the old "3 foot" rule, she would just go into a shop and
start talking to people about what they do at work, then get their number and call back and offer them the opportunity of a lifetime.
This may work for her and obviously has, however again this is not my my cup of tea.
This above scenario is probably how 90% of network marketers are taught to build their business. If they felt as uncomfortable as I did
doing this kind of business building it's no wonder so many quit before they make it big.
It really hit home for me one Sunday when I went to a coffee shop to meet a prospect to get back my cds and follow up on how she was going
when my prospect arrived 40 minutes late and was not interested. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME
There just had to be a better way.
After putting my traditional business knowledge to use I realized I needed my prospects to call me. In my traditional business when
people call me I would get the job/make the sale, these people want what I am offering and are a much better lead for my business.
The first step was to identify my target prospect, which to my mind is someone who is looking for and wants a change in their financial life.
Its a little like giving up smoking, you can see all the bad things smoking will do to you, your family and friends can hassle you to quit everyday
but until YOU really want to give up smoking it's not going to happen.
After knowing who my target market is the next step is to get them to call me. Only one way to do this in any business is to get the work out
and that means ADVERTISING.
Problem here is it can be expensive to advertise (if your MLM company will let you) and can break the bank before you can earn any money at all.
Now don't be disheartened, with the advent of the internet I have found a system which not only will get your target market to call you but it
can be set up on a minimum budget. That's not all, you can actually be paid while you prospect.
Yes you read that right. You can be generating highly qualified leads to yourself, so your signup rate is higher and actually earn a little money that helps
you build your business without breaking the bank.
Then as your business and knowledge grows your advertising can grow and snowball your income.
Now this is all very exciting and still hard work but the most exciting thing about this is we MLM'ers can now have a fully automated online system generating high quality leads for you 24/7.
You can still work from our traditional list but we can now use and show our downline a fully working duplicable system to generate leads.
If you are serious about changing your life with MLM and don't want to be one of the 90% dropouts you cannot afford not to look at this system. After all it costs nothing to have a look.
Seize the moment and learn to be a great upline leader now.
