My Free MLM Help

Let’s say I have a best friend named Carl. We’ve been friends a long time. We care very much about each other. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for Carl, and nothing he wouldn’t do for me.

One day I found out his wife was cheating on him. I went to a new place, Joe’s Pub, on a Friday night and saw Carl’s wife in a corner booth in the back, snuggling and smooching passionately with I guy who wasn’t Carl.

I didn’t say anything to Carl. The next Friday night, I went to the same pub and saw the two lovers again in the same corner booth. I still didn’t tell Carl.

The following Friday night, and there they are again! Somehow, I’ve got to let my best friend know he has a real problem. Remember, I would do anything for him.

But, if I tell him, “Hey Carl, Your wife is cheating on You!”, how will he react?

Probably something like, “You’re full of crap, Ken! She would never do that. You’re an a-hole!”

But I’ve SEEN her with the guy! I’m obligated as a friend to do something, but I don’t want to risk losing the friendship in the process.

Even if Carl learns the truth later and says, “Ken, I’m sorry. I should have listed to You,” there will still be a scar on our relationship.

So, what to do? What if I arrange for Carl to discover the truth on his own?

“Hey Carl, what are You doing Friday night?”

“Nothing, Ken, just watching TV as usual.”

“Listen, Carl, there’s a cool new place in town everybody’s talking about - Joe’s Pub. Why don’t we go there together, check it out, have some fun?”

So, we go to Joe’s Friday night, and I arrange it so Carl is sitting facing the corner booth in the back. At some point, he spots his wife smooching with her boyfriend. Carl says, “My God! That’s my wife back there in the corner!”

I turn my head around to look and say, “No, that’s got to be someone who just looks like her.”

“No! It’s her, it’s HER!” Carl shouts as he rises out of his chair.

I grab Carl and say, “No, man, this is not the time or the place. Let’s get out of here and talk about it somewhere else.”

Now Carl knows the truth and I can be there for him as his friend to help him through this.

What does all this have to do with Network Marketing?

Let’s say You have a friend who’s in what You know is a bad MLM company. You’ve researched and found out the owners are crooks who will probably grab the money and run to Cyprus to avoid extradition.

Or You know the products are crap and no one will buy them and the price they demand, or - even worse, there IS no real product or service - it’s just a Ponzi scheme.

Or their compensation plan is so bad, even though the company is raking in so much cash their headquarters are expanding to overtake an entire county, their distributors are starving.

Or whatever.

Should You tell Your friend at the risk of Your friendship? He’s bought into it hook, line and sinker. He’s MARRIED to the dumb thing!

He will probably think You’re just trying to recruit him into YOUR company by bad-mouthing his.

Better to point him to someone like Mentoring For Free, where he will be educated and learn how to spot red flags on his own.

When he becomes a critical thinker, then he will discover the truth on his own - and You’ll be the trusted friend who pointed him in the right direction.

Heck, he might even join You in YOUR company!

Your Friend and Servant,

Ken Klemm

One quick tip that was shared with me and I’d like to pass along in case You missed it: Many Networkers use social networking as a means to meet others and/or reach out to let others know who they are and what their interests are.

This makes good sense!

You’ve heard that First Impressions count? Well, some may not have thought of this but Your PROFILE on these social sites is the first representation of Who You Are. Ever give consideration to what impression Your making with the information You have on Your Profiles?

It’s a good idea to critically look over Your information with an objective eye; look as a new friend would that You invited to join Your circle of friends. Is it attractive? Do You share Your likes and interests, Your Favorite Books, Favorite quotes, your phone number? Especially your phone number if You’re hoping for business.

Ask: Does Your PROFILE reflect who YOU are?

And the same goes for Your website. Are You showing Your website on Your profile so others can see if You have a service they can use? Its disappointing when searching to expand Your circle of influence and run across so many profiles revealing absolutely nothing to identify with or anything that would encourage a conversation, or better yet a relationship. Makes me wonder how many have given a pass to a friendship request for lack of information.

Finally, put up a picture! A faceless Profile with little or no information is the least friendly profile in social networking. People want to see Who You Are as well as know a bit about you! A non-entity is just that - nothing.

So the tip for today is to make sure You’ve made Your Profile attractive to others! As You build relationships with people, they will go to Your info page and read more about WHO YOU ARE!

Ultimately, isn’t that the whole point?

Why do some people succeed in network marketing, while others never do?I’ve heard this question before and wondered myself!

And the answer that keeps coming up over and over.  Successful people made the effort to understand what really makes people tick - what motivates them - why they make the choices they make.

That is what leads successful entrepreneurs to the “personality” studies.

400 years before Jesus Christ, the Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates wrote about the four basic personality types.

In 1921, Dr. Carl Jung wrote the most detailed book ever on this subject. He called the 4 personality types Feeler, Sensor, Thinker, and Intuitive.

Florence Littauer later named them Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Melancholy, and Choleric.

Years later, Jerry Clark made it easy - he tagged the personality types by color: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow

Many experts have written books and recorded audiotapes on the subject, including:
Michael O’Connor
Kathryn Briggs
Dr. Tony Alessandra
Jim Cathcart
Tim Lahaye
Dr. Bernice McCarthy
Jerry Clark

I give personal thanks to all who have contributed to the personality-type knowledge base. Their research & conclusions are the basis for our personal mentor training, Colors To Success

I know of no other subject that when used correctly can have such a positive impact on Your life and Your business.

People fall asleep when You say “phlegmatic, sanguine, melancholy and choleric”. But they understand Red, Blue, Green & Yellow.

This stuff works. Best of all, it works fast;  And You can easily learn to color Your way to the top.

This Concept Has changed the lives of everyone who “gets” this.  To be able to spot and work with each of these Color personalities without losing them in the first 30 seconds is priceless!.

Maybe the biggest change is this: to spot these personalities, You must LISTEN to people! And wonderful things seem to happen when You actually listen.

Everyone is a blend of all these Colors.  To be successful You must learn to be a chameleon to deal with people. This is The Key To Success With 70% of Your Prospects

Did You know that Greens are 35% of the population?  They can take forever to make a decision!  (They tend to analyze everything to death).  But when a Green joins You, they never quit!

Blues on the other hand may join You immediately!  You can put a Blue in the business tonight, but they may never do anything. They may never even activate their business. They’ll just join, because they thought it would be fun. But the Blues will put You in contact with a lot of good people.

So the biggest secret is that network marketing is not a sales business. It’s a teaching & mentoring business. No wonder the Yellows & the Greens are so good at MLM. AND combined, they make up 70% of the population!

It’s critical to let Yellows & the Greens know that their network marketing struggles are not their fault. The cards have been stacked against them. The Reds have been telling everybody the whole time that it’s a sales business. Sell, sell, sell.

But MLM success has NOTHING to do with selling and EVERYTHING to do with teaching, training, coaching, and mentoring people.

You Can Use This knowledge, once You learn this skill, To Automatically Bond With Anyone!

This technology will connect You with the deepest desires and needs and fears of the people You set out to bond with. It won’t be long before You actually know these people better than they know themselves.

When You listen to people and truly understand their personality, You have the ability to help inspire them to greatness. The rewards for You are way more than just financial.

For us and for many others, learning the personality color secrets has been a life-changer.  We’ll help you learn this skill through Mentoring For Free.  Download our free ebook and turn Your life and business around to one of life long Success.

IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY; IT’S THE WORDS YOU USE!

Knowing the correct sequence of words to use when talking with a prospect or potential customer is a skill that you must master if you want to find success.

To know what words to use you must understand how the mind works and makes decisions.
Master Industry Trainer, ‘Big Al’ Schreiter, shared with some of us, a study that was done to find out how people go about making decisions.  Researchers found some interesting if not for some unsettling facts.

ALL, yes that is A-L-L; ALL decisions are made by the subconscious mind and within 7 seconds!

This information shocked and insulted many of us!  THIS COULDN’T BE!  We are smart, intelligent people and we’d like to think that we make conscious decisions that are contemplated longer than 7 seconds!  That would be no, we don’t.  As brilliant as the conscious mind is with all of its intelligence the conscious mind is about the size of a pea.  Compare this to the subconscious mind that is enormously vast.  The complete filing cabinet of your life, every memory, every lesson and things learned; all thoughts regardless of their origin, worthiness or truth, the part of our brains that accepts and internalizes any little thing that enters it?  This is the part of our brain that makes ALL our decisions?  I was growing weary, in total disbelief if not boarding angry…how could this be?

Then, “Big Al” went further, he proved it!  He asked us to tell him what thoughts we have when he said…”Would you be interested i…” & before he got the word ‘in’ out of his mouth, half the room loudly said, “NO!”  This was Before he could tell us anything about a business or product!  Our subconscious minds had already shut him down; he was DOOMED BEFORE HE GOT STARTED!  Therefore the commonly used words of “Would you be interested…” need to be removed from our conversations with everyone, why just limit this information to business when it is applicable to life in general and all people and relationships.

Let’s replace this phrase with a sequence of words that will allow the subconscious mind, the decision maker, to be open to what we have to say, that is what we want after all isn’t it?  Let’s replace ‘Would you interested with “Would it be okay if…”, when the subconscious mind hears this sequence of words it is always willing to go along with what you have to say next, as long as it is logical, not illegal or harmful to one’s self or other.  You’re asking permission, offering an option, this takes the pressure off.  There is just one rule, the shorter the statement the better; remember the subconscious makes up its mind in 7 seconds!  So I will use different example on various type products or reasons to join your organization so you can understand how this works and sounds:

Would it be okay if…
I showed you how to earn an extra $500 a month?
you could help your arthritis naturally?
I could show you how to save money on your electric bill?
you had more energy than your Grandkids?
someone else paid for your vacations?
worked 3 weeks and got paid for 4?
You get the idea!

The next piece of realization is that our vast, not so smart subconscious also makes decision based on no proof of information or knowledge but simply on “social proof” or ‘Herd Mentality’.  For example, you are walking down the street and you are hungry, there are two restaurants ahead but have never eaten at either.  The first one is almost empty so you walk to the next one and you see inside many people all eating, drinking and talking…in which restaurant do you decide to eat…?  The busy one of course!  But why?  Your subconscious mind decided that because all the people are there it must be better, why else would they all be there.  But that is not necessarily true, you don’t know that the food is any better or cheaper or that the second is where the fun is; for all you know the first restaurant, just opened for the day’s business or that the food is so good everyone left to get their families to bring back with them.  You really don’t know, your subconscious just decides based on nothing more than the fact there are more people at one place than another, ‘social proof’, ‘herd mentality’, that the second restaurant is better than the first.  How stupid is that, not to mention this decision was made with no validity knowledge or real proof, just assumption.  That is just how arbitrary our subconscious mind, our decision maker is!

So since the subconscious mind is the decision maker and loves to be doing what everyone else is doing, knows or says, maybe you should try this sequence of words…
’Most people…’ or ‘Everybody knows…’ or ‘Everybody says…’.

Now that the subconscious knows it needs to do like everyone else, you need to tell it why it needs to make a decision, to do what you are suggesting.  Using the word sequence of ‘If you’…(what you want them to do)…’then’…(result).  An example would be: ‘If you’ incorporate these word sequences in your conversations ‘then’ you will see an amazing change in your business.

We also need to keep in mind that our job is to get our prospects or our customers to make a decision.
Closing seems to be very hard for some folks and something the person on the receiving end doesn’t like
to have done to them, so again let’s use some words that are going to allow them to be open to what we say and to make a decision.  Use the word sequence of ‘So what is going to be easier for you…’ followed by an and/or statement.  For example: ‘So what is going to be easier for you, to get 400 people
in your organization or 2500 to earn $10,000 a month?’

Here I will give you an example using them all; it goes something like this:

Everybody knows it takes skills to be successful in any profession.  Most people want to be
successful in their network marketing business.  Everybody says that Mentoring For Free is
the best place to learn the necessary skills for success.  Would it be okay with you if I showed
you the skills you need to be successful, for free?  If you plug into Mentoring For Free, then you
can begin to change your business and your life.  So what would be easier for you, to learn the
skills you need for success or to keep struggling as you have been?

Now this is using all of them at one time and not what you would want to do in real life, you would want to sprinkle these throughout your conversation.  I just did this for illustration purposes.

Also keep in mind this is a new skill, it will require practice.  So practice out loud.  Share these skills with your team members and practice with each other, until you don’t feel uncomfortable saying any of these sequences, because you shouldn’t.  It is our job to get people to make a decision and we need to talk to the decision maker, which is the subconscious, so learn to talk to it directly so it will be open to what you suggest.

Want to know the Secret in successfully building an MLM Business?  I’ll give it to You in five simple steps.  In order to grow Your network marketing business You need to have:

1. Targeted lead generation
2. Automated prospect follow-up
3. One-on-one relationship building
4. Sponsoring and
5. Training

Naturally, it’s best if You have a single system to perform all these functions. If your MLM company or upline group does not provide system(s) to accomplish these targets, You absolutely have to set them up Yourself. But it’s a lot easier to go someplace where they understand these MLM sponsoring secrets and already have an established, tested & proven system.

Let me tell You  about the Relationship Building aspect of the sponsoring system that I use.

One-on-one relationship building:

Your most important MLM sponsoring secret IS relationship building. Network marketing is a relationship business. You want to sponsor them one at a time and bring them in one at a time.

The only way You can do that is to build a one-on-one relationship with those people.

You may have witnessed many organizations come online and they sponsor, sponsor, sponsor, recruit, recruit, recruit, using some downline building system. But none of those people ever upgrade, none of those people ever buy product, because there’s no relationship. If You ever tried to call one of those people and say, “Hey, I’d like to visit with You “, they won’t even return a phone call.

It’s of the utmost importance to have relationships when You are building Your business. They’ve got to know that You care.  And Sincerity counts here, because if You have Your own agenda, Your prospect will see right through You and they will run as far away from You as they can get.

This step is crucial, so much so we at Mentoring For Free are constantly training and coaching people about building relationships.  We have a generic MLM “relationship-building” training call 5 nights a week. No company is EVER mentioned on these calls. No products are EVER discussed.

If Your seriously  looking for a good way to make extra money from home and understand this is a relationship business, begin Your journey to success by downloading  this free ebook now.  And I promise You, if You build people, then people will build Your business!

To grow your network marketing business You need to do and have five simple things in place.

1. Targeted lead generation

2. Automated prospect follow-up

3. One-on-one relationship building

4. Sponsoring and

5. Training

It’s obvious if You have a single system to perform all these functions, so much the better. If Your MLM company or upline group does not provide system(s) to accomplish these targets, You absolutely have to set them up Yourself. But it’s a lot easier to go someplace where they understand these MLM sponsoring secrets and already have an established, tested and proven system.

Let me tell You a bit about one aspect of the sponsoring system I use.

Targeted lead generation.

Let’s talk.  Ask Yourself this:  Why do You want to build the dream for somebody else? No good answer?

Ok, let’s try this:  How do You think You’re ever going to make somebody have a dream? If Your like most, You know You can’t make a person dream, You can’t make them have a desire, You can’t make them  successful.

So what should You do?  You  talk only to people who ALREADY have the dreams, the goals, and the desire to be successful.

If Your putting Yourself in the position where You have to convince somebody to get up off the couch, turn off the TV, quit watching the football game and drinking beer, Stop It!   Leave those people alone. They need to do that stuff. We need people in our lives and in this world who do that. It’s ok to let them do that.

ONLY talk to people who have the goals, dreams, desires. These are the warriors. These are the people who will build the business, no matter what. Target THOSE people. Then Your business will be fun & exciting. You’ll have massive duplication when You work with targeted people.

How do You find them?

You want a lead generation system that brings You ONLY the most qualified people. A lead who is a reader is far more likely to have long-term Network Marketing success than most other leads You get. That is who You must target.

How?

You promote a website that has only one objective: capture contact information. So when a visitor comes to Your site, their only options are signing up or leaving. And You do Your best to make them an offer they cannot refuse. I prefer to offer a great ebook because, again, Leaders are Readers.

You can learn more, be more, do more now by downloading this free ebook today.

What’s the Secret to successful Network Marketing if it isn’t knowing everything?

Most experts with experience in the Network Marketing industry know the value of having a group of masterminds on their team to shore up their “weaknesses.”

What?  Professional Network Marketers have weaknesses?

Ok, maybe it’s not easy to admit for some, but we all have weaknesses (I know mine, but I’ll save that for a later day!).  If You’re honest with Yourself, You’ll admit You’re not perfect.  But that’s OK.

Some of the most successful people in history recognized this fact early on and what did they do?  They surrounded themselves with “experts” in order to accomplish their goals and wealth.

Don’t believe me?

Check out ANY successful entrepreneur in any industry and see if they didn’t have a “cabinet” of masterminds with a wealth of resources behind them to afford the entrepreneur the best opportunities for success.

Henry Ford, for example, had specialized knowledge when it came to the manufacture of automobiles, but he was, admittedly, not well educated.  He brought suit against a Chicago newspaper for calling him an “ignorant pacifist.” His response to a particularly offensive question:

“If I should really WANT to answer the foolish question you have just asked, or any of the other questions you have been asking me, let me remind you that I have a row of electric push-buttons on my desk, and by pushing the right button, I can summon to my aid men who can answer ANY questions I desire to ask concerning the business to which I am devoting most of my efforts.”

He went on to say, “Why should I clutter up my mind with general knowledge for the purpose of being able to answer questions, when I have men around me who can supply any knowledge I require?”

My mentor is always saying, “You are perfect just the way you are to do this business.” I used to sputter and go on about my lack of knowledge, lack of education in this field, the fact I had no experience, or know how.

Thank goodness I was ignored and was sponsored anyway!  I was given everything I lacked through the wonderful people on my team.  I am now part of a professional group of Experts with my Mentoring For Free Team.

Of course, joining a group of masterminds tends to rub off on a person and I’ve discovered a personal growth unmatched at any other time in my life.  I’ve also developed my strengths and feel grateful to offer help to others who need it.  As for my weaknesses, I work on them when I have time.

You could continue to struggle on alone in Your business, likely without the results You desire; OR You could save Yourself years of failure and frustration by downloading this FRE*E ebook crammed with valuable information You need to know to be successful.

Are You violating the law?

You can not buy an opt-in lead.

Let me say that again:

YOU CAN NOT BUY AN OPT-IN LEAD!

When a person opts-in to something, they are agreeing
to receive information from THAT entity ONLY.

The opted-in permission cannot be transferred to
someone else.

When someone opts-in to YOUR information, Your service
- be it AWeber, GetResponse, or whatever - has a log on
their server which records the date, time, and IP
address of the computer Your lead used when they
opted-in.

You have proof against any spam complaint.

A lead mill (seller) may tell You they provide You with
the date/time stamp and the IP address to each lead You
purchase from them.

This does NOT protect You from a spam complaint if You
contact these leads with Your information. The
individuals opted-in to receive someone else’s
information, NOT YOURS.

And You have no idea how many times leads have been
sold and resold.

How serious are spam complaints?

You may be subject to fines and penalties. Your account
with a service provider may be terminated. Your
affiliate agreement with Your MLM company may be
terminated. Your internet service may be shut off. You
could be permanently blacklisted.

Worse, if You are part of a co-operative system, such
as Mentoring For Free, the entire system could be shut
down - resulting in damages to all the members of the
co-op.

Any company or individual selling You, or giving You as
part of a package, opt-in leads is a scam.

Another scam is guaranteed sign-ups.

These vendors will hire someone to visit Your lead
capture page repeatedly and fill in leads on the form
and submit them.

As soon as Your auto-responder sends these people
messages from Your system, You have committed spam. If
You call these people, they will tell You they never
heard of You.

I have even seen companies who have anti-spam policies
in their agreement with You who offer to sell You
guaranteed sign-ups themselves.

They can scam You, rip You off, cause You to spam, and
terminate your account for spamming.

There are legitimate companies who will advertise for
You, and send visitors to Your capture from to opt-in
to YOU. For example, traffic exchange co-operatives.

Please - MLM distributors, affiliate marketers, and
direct sales internet marketers - stay out of trouble
with the law.

Never, never, buy opt-in leads. They are a scam. If You
do purchase them, then don’t use them with email,
auto-responders, or any other form of electronic
communication.

For more information on why leads are worthless and a
scam, see my other posts on this subject:

Do You want to be a successful entrepreneur in an mlm
opportunity?

One of the first things I ask a new client is, “What
are Your two biggest struggles working from home?”

The most common responses I hear are:

“Finding high-quality leads,”

“Getting prospects to sign-up,”

“Recruiting,”

“Downline team duplication.”

The answer to most of the above struggles is the
mind-set of the independent representatives - the
belief that they must become a heavy hitter superstar
to profit in this industry.

A heavy hitter superstar is a pushy, aggressive person
whose idea of motivation presentation is to preach at
their company’s convention or conference call that
distributors’ goals should be to be more like them.

The problem is, most people don’t like pushy,
aggressive salespeople and they don’t like to be sold.
Buying is okay, but at THEIR pace.

Mind-set:

Look at the terms my clients use above -
“leads, prospects, and recruiting”. Let’s talk about the
mind-set these terms reveal.

To “recruit” means to enlist someone in the armed
forces or to enroll someone as a member or worker in an
organization.

In contrast, let’s look at sponsoring. To “sponsor”
means to contribute to the cost of something, introduce
and support a proposal, or take responsibility for
another.

I ask You: would You rather be recruited or sponsored?

Let’s look at “leads” and “prospects”.

To “prospect” means to search for mineral deposits,
especially by means of drilling and excavation.

“Leads” implies sets of data regarding a potential
customer base or recruiting prospects.

I prefer to think of people as “clients”, or those who
use my services.

People:

If You’ve ever had a position in the real world
relating with people, then You know some things:

People are NOT numbers or commodities - they are real,
live, breathing persons who are loved by someone.

They are someone’s son, daughter, brother, sister,
mother, father, friend, spouse, etc.

A person with the wrong mind-set thinks, “What’s in it
for me?” They look at a person and think, “How can I
profit from this relationship?”

Someone with the correct mind-set thinks, “What’s in it
for THEM?” “What can I do to SERVE this person and HELP
improve his or her life?”

Which of these two mind-sets do You think would
encourage better downline duplication?

I learned these skills and solutions from the recorded
and live conference calls at Mentoring For Free, the
free network marketing and multi-level marketing
training organization.
