7 Ways to Celebrate Success!

Everyone loves a pat on the back! A friendly “Good Job!” goes a long way. And, when it comes to your network marketing business, it’s important to recognize when your group or an individual in the group does well. Part of being a good leader is celebrating other people’s successes!

What Accomplishments Should Be Celebrated?

That’s easy…almost everything! We should celebrate and recognize people when they advance in the company, when they enroll a new person into their business, when they help one of their personals advance, and when they reach a specific goal they’ve set for themselves (like a certain income level or number of people in their organization). …Continue Reading 7 Ways to Celebrate Success!

Role Playing is an Effective Network Marketing Training Tool

Most of us, when we begin our network marketing business, have no clue what we’re in for. We’re not prepared for the objections, the rejections, and the attitudes we get from people we are sharing with. That’s why role playing with your new enrollee is a MUST!

Role Playing is the best training tool you have to get your new people ready for what they’ll face. Besides, we need to prepare them so they don’t get discouraged at the first “No” they get. So, what’s the best way to do a role playing training?

Role Playing Training 101

If you have enough people who want to particpate, it’s easier and more efficient to do a role playing conference call. This way 10, 20 or more people can benefit from the practice conversations. Plus, when you have more people participating, they can throw out suggestions of objections or their own experiences along the way. It’s just plain more fun on a conference call or in a large group setting. …Continue Reading Role Playing is an Effective Network Marketing Training Tool

Dealing with Enrollees Who are MIA

I’m sure you’ve seen it before…You enroll a new person into your network marketing business who’s excited and motivated to get started right away and make lots of money. And, then they don’t pick up the phone or return your calls. No one has seen or heard from them. They are Missing in Action (MIA)!

Here’s how I deal with the absent enrollee…

I call them a few times, at different times to give them the benefit of the doubt. People have lives and families and emergencies, so we have to give them a chance. After a week has passed without a word, I switch to email.

How to Keep Yourself Up When Everything is in the Dumps

We all have those time in our network marketing businesses when nothing goes right. People don’t show up for presentations, and even if they do, they don’t join, your check takes a dive, and your group seems unmotivated.

What do you do to keep yourself in a positive mood?

New Enrollee? Get Joined at the Hip!

You know the rush that comes from enrolling a new person into your network marketing business! Now you have the awesome resposibility of holding their hand, walking them through their first days and weeks to create their first story and reach their first income goal.

That means you should be joined at the hip with your new enrollee. I know a guy who takes this concept as far as he can go with it - he moves in with them! That’s right…he flies to the other side of the country, moves in with them for a month, and makes sure they work on building the business every hour and every day they’re awake! It’s intense, but this guy also makes about $100K/month and has broken every advancement record in our company. And, his personal enrollees have advanced faster than any others in the history of the company. Results speak for themselves!

The best way to create duplication is to show the new enrollee the ropes right away. That way, they learn it once, the learn to do it the right way, and from then on they will teach their new enrollees the same thing. Duplication at its finest!

Finding Free Local Leads with Reverse Prospecting

Finding good local leads is difficult enough, but free local leads…now that’s a goldmine! Before I go into how this is done, let’s see how the ‘hacks’ have been doing it (and pissing people off in the process).

The Old Way

Let’s say you wanted to advertise your business through the local newspaper or Penny Saver classifieds section. You place an ad for free or for a small cost, publish your phone number in your ad, and wait for the phone to ring.

When it finally rings, you’re ecstatic! But within a minute into the call, you realize the person on the other end of the phone isn’t interested in your business, but actually trying to pitch you on theirs!

How often has that worked on you? Ummm….Never!

But there is a way to reverse prospect without angering the other person.

Are You a Network Marketing Orphan?

Are you one of the many abandoned network marketers left without the guidance and assistance of an experienced upline sponsor? Or maybe you’ve met an orphan at a company event who tells you how difficult it is to go it alone.

So, why does this happen? Because network marketing business seems to always attract those that are gung-ho  one month and out of the game the next. Let’s face it - we’re in a business full of flakes! But when your upline decides to quit the business or is only “taking a spot”, how do you protect yourself from going down with them?
