MLM Networking Tools

My wife and I got into home businesses over two years ago.

Last summer we spent the summer in Brazil building our business and we had a blast but we lost lots of money.

Since then we have analyzed what we learned and what lies we were told.

We’ve taken the lies we were told and turned them into motivation to create a system that markets and builds our business successfully in spite of the lies we were told. So we’ve decided it would be effective to share these lies with our friends on CurtClapier.com and then after making everyone aware of these lies then I will teach you step by step how to set up your own system and teach you the marketing skills necessary for you to succeed in spite of the lies that you have been told.

So here’s the first LIE about home businesses and network marketing that I was told.

1. The system is simple. All you have to do is use or consume the product yourself, then share your experience with the product with all of your friends and then invite them to get involved.

Well, I shared multiple opportunities with many many people that I know and we continued to only loose money. In fact our upline told us that you just need to put 2 people into the business.

Only 2 people?! That sounded easy enough. So we did that. And it wasn’t easy.

Then my upline told me to make a list with them and then go personally with my people, since I was their leader in Brazil, and present the opportunity to all of the people on their lists.

So guess what we did. We did exactly that. My husband presented the opportunity to a couple of dozen people who were on our first two people’s lists and they ALL said NO. It was devastating to my new distributor who had made a sacrifice to purchase their product and join the business. They both ended up quitting because all of their friends said NO and they could not afford to continue.

But all of the training we would receive continued to tell this same LIE. “Just stick to the system.” they would say. “The only people that don’t make money in this industry are those that try to reinvent the wheel and don’t listen,” they would say.

Lies, all lies! The only people that this conventional network marketing strategy worked for were the people who came into an organization with such a huge circle of influence that they could instantly sponsor hundreds of people into the business.

Well, I didn’t know any of those people. Did that mean I was destined to fail?

Have any of you been told similar lies? If so please share your stories here.

Over the next few days I will share all of the 3 big lies I was told and then I will teach you what we did to succeed in spite of these lies. If you follow along and continue to bump this thread so everyone can learn we will teach you step by step how to set up this system in your business. In fact we will set parts of it up in our newest home business along with you.

Mike Dillard sent me an email that I posted on my blog last week titled “How I Close My Prospects.”  You can view the article here if you have not yet read it.

I reread the article today and decided to reiterate the most important points that we all forget to follow when trying to recruit and sponsor our prospects.

Key to Closing Prospects # 1: Focus on a voluntary decision.  Not a directed decision.

Directed decisions, or rather decisions that we lead the prospect to make with one on one persuasion, are emotional decisions.  These decisions ware off as soon as times get tough.  These prospects quit.

Key to Closing Prospects # 2: Persuade them to make their own decision by educating them through an automatic marketing system.

Key to Closing Prospects # 3:  Follow this system when prospecting.

Step 1: Lead is generated and a quick introductory phone call is made just to let them know that I’m a real person. I’ll ask them a few questions, BUT, it’s not to build up “ammo” like their finding out their “reason why” so I can bring it back up later when it’s “decision time”.

I ask questions because I want to find out if this is someone I want to personally work with. Honestly, I’m trying to find a reason NOT to work with them or sell them product because the wrong customers/partners will cost you MUCH more than you’ll ever make in the long run.

This qualification process is evident to the prospect through the verbal and non-verbal leadership ques that are expressed during the conversation.  Things like energy level, voice level, tonalities, etc…

Now you’re probably wondering what all of those are, but honestly, if you truly see yourself as a leader, you’ll unconsciously start conveying these traits automatically.

Step 2: If I like the person, I’ll give them the address to the business overview via email and then instruct them verbally and in the email to contact me when they’re done.

Because they came though a capture page when they became a lead, they are already in my marketing pipeline.

At this point, the ball is completely in their court.

I NEVER chase people. I’m too busy. And so are you whether that’s true or not. Your business lives in a state of abundance. There is no neediness.

My marketing system will stay in contact with them for me. I don’t have time to make follow up calls and I lose power if I do, but I will give them continual opportunities to contact me through my marketing campaign.

Scheduling follow-up calls and all that crap on your prospect’s terms… Whatever.
They call me and I’ll contact them back when I feel like doing so.

If you’re positioning yourself correctly, they will be excited and feel privileged that you contacted them.

(This is something pretty foreign to most networkers who deal with prospects who never return their phone calls and voicemails).

Step 3: Once they do contact me, they’re going to have some questions which I will answer in a very friendly manner. I like this person and I wouldn’t mind working with them…

BUT, for the rest of the call, I’m silent.

I don’t ask them to get started and I don’t try to keep the conversation going.

Dead spots in a conversation ARE AWKWARD. You want to make them feel off-balance and then force them to fill the dead air.

My attitude is that you called me to ask me some questions which I will answer, and that’s it. Anything else that we discuss is up to you.

Because you’re unwilling to keep the conversation going or try to talk them into getting started, you are in the position of power.

In any relationship, the person who cares the least holds the power.
