Networkers, If You Can't Say Anything Nice, Don't Say Anything All

My mom taught me that as a child. Of course by the time I became a teenager/young adult, as with all things mom said, I knew better. I'm grateful to have lived long enough to learn that mom was right all along. She's also gracious enough to never say, "I told you so," which is just another reason I love my mom.A famous rapper/reverend, which I follow on Twitter, has been blowin' up the Twitter verse with his thoughts on criticism lately: "Criticizing comes from an inward failure feeling, by putting others down they R trying 2 feel more important." "If u find urself criticizing ppls work ALOT & ur not gettin a check 4 this occupation, ur just a hater!" "Be good 2 u! There are enough volunteers out there willing 2 criticize & hurt u! Don't help em!" This last one reminds me of something my great-grandmother used to say to me whenever I was about to leave, "be good to yourself," which at the time, I was being anything but. She did, however, live long enough to see me live up to those words (thank you God for the gift of longevity). I digress...What does any of this have to do with building a network? Just the other day my wife sponsored a new person, who had placed a call to our corporate office seeking more information about our services & opportunity, onto our team. Corporate it seems gave this person two names/numbers she could contact in our state for the information she requested.Both are well recognized in the state for their leadership. One built & for quite some time has maintained the largest organization in the state. He is also part of a much larger well entrenched international organization. He has many personal accolades & earned six-figures working from home this past yearThe other is my wife, whose organization is not nearly as large. Her strength is she retails our service like nobody's business; she has a passion for seeing people having & using it, because of this, our clients ultimately see themselves having, using & keeping it. In short she is really good with peopleSo this potential partner of ours calls both parties & gets a call back from my wife first, then the state's top guy a little while later. During his conversation the new person says she's already been speaking with my wife, but hasn't made any decisions yet. Top dog goes into how his organization can do things for them that my wife's couldn't, because of their size & how working with them "you'll" have more people dedicated to helping you succeed.This potential partner called my wife back and relayed the conversation they just had. My beautiful, lovely & talented wife didn't react to the criticism or try to "1 up," she also didn't respond in kind; she simply said, "he's absolutely correct." My wife met them later that day for coffee where they signed the agreements & joined our team.When confronted with a possibility of a potential partner choosing another group or company over yours, follow the counsel of wise mothers everywhere, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".

Say Goodbye To "Friends and Family" - If You Want Real Success in Network Marketing

Almost every "opportunity" seminar you will attend will have a speaker promising wealth and fortune, and all you have to do is invite a couple of your "friends and family" to join you. Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it? Lets take an unbiased look inside that myth and see whats happening.The Old Way:Back before we had the global environment called the internet, the popular way to market your product was "belly to belly" to your friends and family. You also had the option of going door to door (like the Fuller Brush man) or you could go out and do demo's. Does anyone remember the microwave demonstrators in Sears's stores in the late 60's?All the company did was to give you the product, a little training on the product, and send you on your way. You started with those friends and family, and if you lasted more than 3 months, maybe you got some "better training"The New Age:Along comes the internet, where marketers can "reach out" to millions at the touch of a button. Shouldn't all companies embrace this new technology? Well, of course they should, but they don't; Thanks to their lack of action (or understanding) the industry is experiencing a 96% failure rate of "new" marketers in the first 90 days because of it.The Problem:Why the high dropout rate? All companies conclude that most people are not that serious about marketing, the'/re just in it for a fast buck. The company doesn't make an investment in these people; they will just leverage these new marketers "natural resources", otherwise known as your " friends and family". No training, just go out and do it!So what happens? The new marketer lasts 90 days; recruits (an average of) 2.3 of his friends, then quits, and the companies love it! The company experiences a 130% growth every quarter with minimal expense, and this looks great on their balance sheet.How about you? If you're part of the 96%, you don't care. But what if you're part of that 4% that is serious?A Solution:If you are really serious about being successful in network marketing, do some research and find a professional marketing course that will teach you how to market on the internet. There are many available that will guide you, step by step along the way. Your home office is your class room, and your schedule is when you can set aside time to study and work.In Conclusion:Instead of "pleading "with you friends and family to see your business, do them a favor and take the time to be a professional. When they see your success they may actually ask you for a favor.Would you "allow" them the opportunity of joining your business?

Why a Lead Generation Blog Must Be a Part of Your Business

Almost all of the top online network marketers agree that a lead generation blog is a great way to generate free leads. But, lately it is becoming a bigger factor than ever in successful online marketers' overall businesses. The top marketers have been using a three tiered strategy to generate leads and sign people up for their businesses for years:1. Generate Traffic2. Personal Branding and 3. Attraction Marketing.A properly designed lead generation blog can do all three as long as you consistently provide people with valuable content.Blogs can attract traffic in a number of ways. First they can be great for SEO on any keyword. Just create some content centered on that keyword and post it to your blog. Add some back links by writing a few of articles with the same content worded differently, post it to any social networks you are a part of, and you immediately have a very search engine friendly web page. Not many people know that blogs can also be used in PPC marketing as well. Just make sure that you have enough content created around the keyword you are advertising to make it relevant to the search.Once you have the traffic coming to your site you need to establish yourself as a leader and someone who can offer people an opportunity for success with YOU as their mentor. Remember that people don't join companies, they join people. Share what you know about anything in the industry. Offer free training courses or email series. The most important thing to do is convey that you can and will help the person succeed in making money online through your lead generation blog posts.Now that you have the traffic and have shown people that you are a leader capture their contact information and begin the process of attraction marketing. Use your email broadcasts to convey even more of what you know and any experiences you've had in the industry to further the idea that you can help that person go from where they are now to where they want to be. Above all else be consistent. Post to your lead generation blog and send at least once per day and get people used to receiving valuable content from you. A few months on your email list and potential business partners will be falling over themselves to join you in whatever opportunity you choose!

Working From Home Favors Entrepreneurs, Not Employees

Most people who want to work from home want to do so because they want to spend more time with their families. However, some people make the mistake of going to work for someone else because that's what they're familiar with. It is true that there are hundreds of work-from-home programs. Some of them are even well known companies such as 1-800-Flowers or U-haul. However, it is hard to spend more time with your family when you are still locked into a mode of trading time for money-even if you're saving time on the commute!Don't think you'll necessarily have the ability to jump up to play with your children any time you wish either. When you work for another company at home, you still have hours you have to log in to a system. You also are required to have a quiet space to work. Few of these businesses have tolerance for barking dogs or chattering children in the background.Becoming an entrepreneur isn't easy, of course. It takes a mentor to truly help you see your potential-or to understand what an entrepreneur really is. So many people get involved so heavily in the day to day grind of their business that they end up just buying themselves a job. Again, even if you manage to become your own boss you're not going to end up with that time freedom you were looking for.The option, then, is to lock into an opportunity that allows you to make money while having that time and money freedom. One thing you can do is to find a product to sell that has a high price point-something that results in a higher pay-out than say a pill, or a shampoo. Another thing you can do is to find a business model that helps you leverage the internet to the maximum advantage. You can work with another company to do this, but you need one that views you as every bit the entrepreneur that you actually are, rather than binding you around with rules and regulations about when your dog can bark and when your child can speak.

Building Wealth Through Network Marketing

Since the recession took full hold on the world economy in 2008 people are beginning to realize that they cannot rely on their company, government, or the worthless dollar for their retirement. Why do I call the dollar worthless? Because it has no tangible value it is not backed by anything of real tangible value such as gold, silver, real estate, or oil.The Federal Reserve can print as much money as it wants to at anytime it wants without permission from Congress or the President! Plus, the Federal Reserve is not even Federal! Make sure you reread those last two sentences. That bank is a private bank ran by private bankers. Remember those big banks that were bailed out because they were deemed "to big to fail".

So, it is imperative that we find a way to print our own money just as the bankers do and the most accessible way for the ordinary individual to build wealth is through the vehicle of network marketing.Most people come to realize that they should own a network marketing business in times of recessions when it's a little to late to begin. They should have prepared their financial ark when we were in good times, but it's never too late. As Robert Kiyosaki would say.It's important to build wealth through network marketing because everyone needs to find a way to make large sums of money per month then takes those worthless dollars and buy real estate, gold, silver, and oil things that will always have real value. Heck, I would even spend all that money on traveling the world. Their will come to be a time when the dollar does become absolutely worthless.History has shown the countries the debase their currency always fail and the U.S. will be no different. We have been debasing our currency since 1913 when the Federal Reserve was created. Since 1913 the dollar has lost almost 100% of its value.Wake up people!
