The Trump Network - Is it a Great Prospect Or a Rip-Off?

Donald Trump is now trying to enter the area of Network Marketing. This network (which deals in the field of health and wellness) is funded by Trump himself. We wanted to analyze it to see if its offers are legitimate or not. The Network offers a unique blend of supplements that are tailor-designed for individual customers. Customers are given a 'PrivaTest,' a home testing kit for those who believe that The Trump Network can help them.After taking the test, one sends it back to a lab, where it is analyzed so that the ideal supplement may be designed. Because of this, it is called 'Custom Essentials,' and possesses antioxidants, phytonutrients, etc. While the idea is interesting (and its backing promising), we still must question its legitimacy. Is such a system truly unique, or is The Trump Network simply copying other companies?Unfortunately, The Trump Network is not unique. Other companies (including Quixtar and GeneWize) have used such a concept to make themselves stand out from other companies.Of course, this does necessarily not mean that The Trump Network will flounder. Firstly, it is important to realize that the network is supported by Donald Trump, a leading billionaire. It is obvious to see that such enterprises typically fare quite well. Distributors, however, must remember that only their efforts can help them.As distributors will inevitably deal with multiple questions, along with stiff opposition, they must be ready and able to market this business. Distributors will need both to make their ideas different, not only from their competition, but also from other Trump Network distributors. As this company has received so much attention, many people will attempt to jump on the bandwagon.A distributor should be smart in their marketing strategies. Therefore, a good distributor will be able to use all available means of marketing, such as Facebook and Twitter. If a distributor is capable of marketing well, The Trump Network may prove successful for those trying to make their livings independently.

VoiParty - Don't Be a Rep, Be an Entrepreneur

VoiParty claims to be the first peer to peer international IXC network and also the only home business giving people a chance to profit from it. IXC stands for Inter-Exchange Carrier, a U.S. legal and regulatory term for a telecommunications company, commonly called a long-distance telephone company. They claim that it is a multi-billion dollar monthly revenue stream generated on the wholesale side of the telecom industry and simply by plugging your phone into their proprietary technology you can start earning money. Can it really be that easy?To answer that question we need to think about the network marketing industry as a whole. Most companies and distributors promise a lot of money with a little work... It possible with VoiParty? YES, IF you have a large network of people to bring in. MLM companies do give distributors a great business model to develop residual income over time, but the key is to develop a large organization of distributors and customers. Anyone can make a lot of money with any company like VoiParty, but you must develop the marketing skills and techniques necessary to grow your network.Even if VoiParty provides the BEST phone service out there, you need a good reason for people to join YOU, not just the company to give yourself the best chance at success. Think about how many people get emails, telemarketing calls, and junk mail about long distance services. The industry is ultra competitive and you have HUGE cable companies and all the telecom companies to contend with on a daily basis...So to generate a good customer base and build your business, you need to approach it from another perspective.The key is to approach the business as an entrepreneur, not just a rep of the company. Your business is YOU and the value you can pass onto others. Understand that your business is not just selling and marketing their service, but offering people an opportunity for success with YOU as their mentor. Develop your marketing and leadership skills and provide people with the right message and you will be able to attract people to your VoiParty business with ease!

FDI International Review - Should the Feds Be Looking at the FDI MLM More Closely?

Telecommunications is usually an area to consider when looking for an MLM Business, and FDI International ups the ante by offering residential, mobile and business services at a discounted rate to anyone researching FDI as a possible contender. FDI combines all those gizmos and gadgets we are so fond of, while leveraging the power of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and Internet phone service. But there is a lot more to FDI than meets the eye. What is FDI and what can it offer you as a MLM business owner? Let's take a closer look...The major selling points are that you are offering a service with much more features than the client has if they are using a standard phone provider (landline or mobile) and their cost will be reduced because they are using their high speed internet connection for all their telecommunication needs. The bottom line is they save money in the short and long term.Trends have a habit of becoming standard practice and this trend has been growing for a couple of decades now. In addition to that, there is the advantage f the softer sell; all you are doing for your customer is enhancing their service instead of trying to bring them into something new. With the double bonus of saving money twice over by way of the discount you offer and the lack of a monthly phone bill. With a possible 50% to 90% savings, who would say no?So that was the upside, now let's take a look at the downside. Although this is a big wave in the form of a $4 billion market, there are quite a few companies trying to ride that wave. That kind of market can be tough to work in. FDI International is fairly new on the scene as well as trying to fit in with the heavy hitters, so they have to concentrate on working the kinks out of their system. The back-office sometimes goes awry and new companies almost always have technology issues.Most telecommunication companies use a point method for calculating payouts and FDI International follows suit. Now that you know, make sure you support yourself by shelling out $99 for the set up fee; you're going to get some of it back to take the sting out. Once you have three sales to your credit, (which you earn a $50 fast-start bonus on by the way) your bonus doubles for every additional sale. Your next stream of income comes in the form of a 50% matching bonus for every new distributor your reps enroll into FDI. To help you kick-start your business and give you incentive in your first month, FDI gives you an additional bonus on your points.The most important factor for your decision process in regards to FDI International should be how strong you are in your knowledge of the company's structure and product. Go over the material until you say it in your sleep because your sales and sign ups depend on it. If you can do that, you should be able to climb the ladder without missing any rungs. Good luck in your decision.

It's hard, but not impossible, to have high levels of confidence when you're not experiencing success!The great thing about a system is that when you see other people using it with great success, you can increase your own confidence levels just by knowing that ultimately you will experience the same or similar levels of success too... simply by plugging into a duplicable system!3. Reduce The Chances Of Hearing The "No" Word!No matter how often we're told that, "...a no is just one step closer to a yes..." being told that doesn't making hearing the word "No" any easier!

The Tortoise and the Hare in MLM

We all know the story of the tortoise and the hare, right? They are in a race, the hare starts off fast and looks as though he will win, but he tires himself out and the tortoise wins after all.This story is especially dear to me since I have a pet tortoise. She is stubborn, persistent, and seems to be fearless. I SO admire Gertrude!In the MLM world, I would liken the hare to the person who sponsors a ton of people very fast. This person makes a bunch of money and it looks like they are destined for success. So what's the downside?To be a great leader, you need to take the time to ensure that the people you bring in are successful too. You need to coach and mentor people until they can stand on their own most of the time. Now, if you have a good system to use then some of this work will be done for you. But I feel you still need to make personal contact with your team members to point them to resources, reassure them that they are on the right track when they aren't getting results, and answer their questions. You need to do 3-way calls to their prospects with them, or help them with presentations, until they can do these on their own. How many people can you effectively coach at one time? Maybe 10 or 20? I talked to one man who sponsored 1500 people in a couple of months. How much coaching was going on there? If you can place people under someone else who has time to help them, that is fine. But if you have done a good job of training your people, they won't need you to do that for very long.What I think typically happens to "the hare" in MLM is:People don't duplicate
People drop out
People consider changing sponsorship if possible to find a good coachSo they build a big team fast, but it just might fall apart on them if they don't have some tortoises on their team.What does the tortoise do differently?Builds relationships
Chooses the people they really want on their team
Coachs and mentors everyone until they can work independentlyThe tortoise's team will not grow so fast at first. But it will endure. The people will be loyal and productive because they got the education and help they needed. In the end, the tortoise can retire with a nice residual income because there will be plenty of leaders to keep the team going. And isn't that what we all want from MLM?

Network Marketing Business Model

Many people when they hear network marketing run as fast as they can, but the business model is one of the most effective at creating wealth we've ever seen. It truly is a powerful way to make as much money as you desire, given you're willing to put the work in, to achieve it.Network marketing is something we do all day, every day, but we just don't get paid for it. Do you ever tell a friend or family member about a good movie you watched? That's referral (network marketing). How about a good restaurant? Maybe a service you used at your home. That is all in the same group of networking for products and services.One of the biggest hurdles people need to get over is that it's not a pyramid scheme. In many compensation plans, you can make more than the person above you if you work smarter, and work harder. I've seen it firsthand. And a pyramid scheme involves only people, not product. When you have people (distributors) and product moving through the business, it is completely legal and ethical.If network marketing wasn't a legitimate business model, why then, would the most celebrated investor of all time in our country by a company that is in this business? That's a fact! Warren Buffett bought an MLM company, so that tells you it is a very good business model.One thing I really like is getting out of the trap of "trading your time for money". Most, if not all of the jobs are this way. You ONLY get paid when you work. There is an immediate ceiling to your income potential. In network marketing, you get to leverage off the efforts of others (sometimes thousands), and they too...do the same thing. This creates residual income that doesn't stop unless you completely stop coaching and being involved.Think of Bill Gates. He has 70,000+ employees and is the richest man on the planet. He is leverage off the efforts of many others. That is the very same thing network marketing does, but normal people like you and me can do it.

Are You Sure You Have a Good MLM Marketing Plan to Ensure Success?

I still can't understand why there are so many internet marketers out there that take this type of approach with their MLM marketing. Most of these home business owners probably don't even know they are lost until it hits them in the face. The following are the basics of developing a plan for success.If you are just getting started, you need to come up with your outline before you do any marketing. The following are the 3 basics that you can do right now to get your business going in the right direction.First, you should clearly identify your niche and USP (unique selling proposition). Not having these 2 things clearly defined is like deer hunting in the middle of New York City. You have better ods of winning the lottery than succeeding in your MLM opportunity if you haven't clearly defined your target market and what you offer them that no one else does.Next, pick one to three marketing techniques and focus on them. Gain proficiency in the areas you choose prior to moving on to something else. With all that is going on online, it is very easy to get distracted by other people claiming there technique is best. Do yourself a favor and stay focused on each marketing avenue until you gain a good grasp prior to adding anything else.Finally, you must put your MLM marketing plan down on paper or on your computer. Break your outline down by the month, week and day for the most effectiveness. As the old saying goes, it is easier to eat an elephant piece by piece than all at one time.I know everyone has heard this phrase a million times in this industry, but it bears repeating, "If you treat this like a hobby it will pay you like one, if you treat it like a business, it will pay you like a business." Let me try one more so I can be as cliche as possible: "People don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan!" In all seriousness, if you don't have the three things discusses above written down or identified, you are wasting your time and resources! Stop worrying about your marketing for a couple hours and take the time to identify and generate a game plan and you will be able to get yourself on the right track before it is to late.

A Xocai MLM Review - Is All This Healthy Chocolate Hype Worth Investigating?

Xocai is a relatively new MLM start up company from Reno Nevada. Known for its rich antioxidant content derived from the cold processing techniques that is designed to retain its numerous nutrients, Xocai's main ingredients consist of cacao and Acai berries.

If you are a chocolate addict or know someone who is, then this Xocai MLM review is going to worth your read.Scientific Studies At University of Harvard Support The Health Benefits of Unprocessed Cacao BeansCan Xocai healthy chocolate products be the ultimate delivery mechanism for the speedy absorption of age-defying antioxidants that your body craves? Made predominately of two main ingredients (unprocessed raw cacao and Acai berries), they have 8 of the 9 amino acids necessary for health and well being. Their extensive product line consist of chocolate nuggets, probiotics, protein bars, omega square, a powerhouse cookie snack and a product that goes by the name of Active.Scientists at the Harvard University School of Public Health have thoroughly examined 136 studies on cacao and made some astonishing discoveries on its ability to support heart health according to sources in the European Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism.Studies have already shown how the blood flow improves with heart health as less platelets get stuck onto the arterial walls resulting in improved cholesterol levels. The antioxidant compounds found in the flavonoids have been well documented to prevent both cell wall damage and inflammation.However the wrong kind of chocolates have been known to increase cholesterol levels. A doctor have recently told my dad to decrease his consumption of those chocolates (See's) due to his high cholesterol. Unfortunately my dad does not know about the benefits of Xocai healthy chocolates because I am not a distributor and do not plan to be one for this company. But nevertheless, I do believe in the health benefits of Xocai. If someone were to approach me to buy some of their products, I would as a customer in my local area. So I give Xocai a thumbs up recommendation.Is The Xocai Compensation Plan Lucrative?Xocai compensation plan is based on a proven binary compensation model that have proven the test of time. Why? Because binary plans, unlike other plans, allow distributors to earn points from the efforts of other distributors in their upline and downline as they spill people into their right or left legs. In the binary compensation plan, you only have two legs in which you are compensated on the weaker volume of the two with maximum payout of up to 50% on commission volume.
