At Team A.T.A.P. those that listen to AND put into practice what we teach inhale it because…it’s GREAT! 

Yeah yeah...I know...

"Warren...you don't know how hard it is out there...people are mean...and ugly to me..."

 Well...gee...I never had anyone be mean and ugly to me before....(smile)... 

I always knew that there were a lot of people out there who were looking for me...and I was looking for them.... 

A few weeks ago, I wrote on the subject of Net-Working, and how to develop leads within the cold market and truly Net-Work....like a Professional... 

I got a HUGE amount of emails asking all the same question...

"How do you open up a conversation with these people you are in front of..." "How do you get these folk's attention?  And my favorite..."How do you not stick your foot in your mouth?"...(smile)... 

When info is free...people do ask...(smile...) There are so many ways to develop an engaging conversation with someone...but in the 10 years I’ve successfully been engaged in AND taught Cold Market MLM recruiting, I talked to thousands of folks, and recruited a lot of people... but one thing I discovered... 

The Secret of what Business MLM is really about.

Team A.T.A.P. Secret: 

We are in a business of Communication...and verbiage plays a HUGE role in the success of your recruiting... 

I cannot believe sometimes when I do Personal Coaching how lame some folks approach people...a total turn off...and they wonder why this business isn't working for them... 

And on the other end, someone has the words down...but whose focus is so off the mark that they blow a great prospect... 

Team A.T.A.P. Secret: 

It’s the SIMPLE things in this business that create the Staggering results...and once I found these words I am talking about...I laughed...and said... "How blind can I be?...(smile)... 

You see, if you have been on any Team A.T.A.P Calls,...you would know that we are in the MLM business of touching and changing people's lives....but that can also be reversed... 

Team A.T.A.P. Secret: 

 People in our Culture are programmed to HELP people and assist whenever they can....it's part of our culture... For example...if a friend of yours called you up, and said...

"Hey Joe...I need your help on something..." What would be your instinctive first reply? 

"Sure! What's Up?" And we all are programmed to lend a hand.... 

Team A.T.A.P. Secret: 

Even to strangers... 

So....we figured out that if that was true...could we integrate it into our Recruiting Process? 

And the 5 Magic Words of MLM Cold Market Recruiting" came about... 

They can be used: 

On the Phone... In a letter... In an email... Face to Face... On a cassette... On a Post card... On a thank You Note... On a Birthday card.. practically anywhere you communicate your business in the Cold market.... 

And understand... 

Team A.T.A.P. Secret: 

 The LESS you come across like you are recruiting, the MORE you will have their attention.... 

Simply...people like to feel appreciated and liked, and also worthy... When someone asks you for help, in a lot of instances, you can feel flattered simply by the way you ask... 

And verbiage again is important... 

The 5 Magic Words of Cold Market MLM Recruiting.

And what are those 5 magic Words....?

  ***** "Maybe You Can Help Me....." ******* 

Simple...but INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE in Network Marketing Cold Market recruiting...especially when you are Net-Working LIVE and in front of people at a social function.... 

You will hear so many times as a response... "Maybe you can help me..." "Sure...what can I do for you..."? or..."I give it a try!" 

BAMMO!!!!! You are now engaged in an initial conversation of recruiting with a cold market prospect... 

The question is....what do you say next???? or in a letter? or on a Post card?? To not BLOW IT??? 

What value would it be to you to be able to double your recruiting in cold market with knowing how? 

I did....quadrupled it.... 

How?...

By knowing what to say..

In fact we’ve been teaching our Team A.T.A.P. (All Things Are Possible) Business Partners these simple strategies for over 10years now. It’s probably one of the reasons 80% of our Business Partners make over 100K+ a year working from home!

Even with the outstanding potential for making connections and promoting your products and services online, there are still many advantages to offline promotion.

Some of these ideas will work best for traditional direct selling opportunities, others are excellent for network marketing businesses as well.

NOTE: You’ll find ton’s of great ideas about this subject over at “The Home Based Business Solutions Blog” @ http://www.WarrenLittle.com

I have a lot of these, so I’ll spread them out among 3-4 posts rather than creating one huge article. Pick your favorites and comment below to share your experiences!

1. Take a snack sized sandwich bag and make a little packet that you can hand out to people you run into everywhere – include your business card, opportunity flyer, current specials if that applies, samples if you have them, etc.

2. Make up some flyers with your contact information (phone, email, website) and include details about any specials you’re offering. Contact local apartments, mobile home parks, housing developments, etc. and see if you can leave brochures in their office or distribute them by placing on residents’ doors. Offer the people in the office a gift or discount on products they order from you.

3. Get in touch with bridal supply stores, catering services, formal wear rental centers, etc. See if they will let you leave your business cards & brochures about the wonderful (Your Company’s Name) Bridal Gift Registry that they can give to customers. Offer them a free gift or discounts for helping you out.

4. Look for local daycare centers and leave a few cards, brochures, and perhaps discount offers there. Excellent place to find potential work at home moms.

5. Many churches hold a Spring and Fall Festival! Contact them and see what it costs to get a booth or table. The cost is often very reasonable and you can meet a lot of people. It’s a good idea to do a contest type drawing at these events. You can capture contact information and follow up with them later!

6. Join your local chamber of commerce and get involved! They frequently have events and functions that you can participate in.

7. Do you have a local college or university? Many students are looking for ways to make extra money, and a business they can work around their challenging schedule is very appealing. Most campuses have bulletin boards and other areas where you can post ads and leave brochures.

8. See if you have a local area “Welcome to the Neighborhood” type group. They often hand out packets with local business promotions and even samples. Include yours!

9. Contact the human resources department at local hospitals. Many hand out packets filled with goodies for new moms!

10. Check with local radio stations, they have contests and promotions and are always looking for sponsors and freebies.

11. Do you have a bingo hall in your area? They are always looking for people to donate prizes, and this is a big deal in some areas.

12. Get in touch with your local Chamber of Commerce and inquire about job fairs held in your local area. Rent a booth or table and tell people about your business opportunity.

13. Call local colleges and universities and see when their next job or employment fair is. A booth is often cheap at these events and you can get a lot of prospects this way.

14. Target your local gyms and health clubs! You can get a table for $30 or less in most cases. Make sure you have several products out, plenty of catalogs, business cards and brochures.

*Especially if you have a Weight Loss Product like this=> http://www.TrimYouLean.com .

15. Find others in your area who are in a home business and network. Find out what events and promotional opportunities they participate in. They can often tell you about strategies and venues that would otherwise be difficult to find.

Well, you can if you build a successful Network Marketing business but one of the most critical questions is, "How to Choose The Right Network Marketing Company".

Let's start by debunking two big myths...

Myth #1: "I can't sell a product that I don't believe in". Have you ever said that...or at least thought it before? What a dumb statement! Surely you make a better hamburger on your grill at home than McDonalds? But if someone died and willed you 10 McDonald franchises you would have to say, "NO... sorry...I just can't accept them because I can't sell a product that I don't believe in"?

Pay attention:

It's NOT about what YOU are going to "SELL". You will never sell enough products to matter much anyway. You are going to build a sales organization where hopefully thousands of people are selling a little (including you!). You can't personally sell enough products to get wealthy and even if you could you would have a JOB and not a duplicating income producing organization!

It's not about YOU...you are not the issue! What you like or don't like is irrelevant. It's what others like or don't like that's important! Most people don't like their jobs but they do it every day anyway. Why? Because they GET PAID!

Selecting a Network Marketing Company should be based on a business decision and NOT an emotional decision. If you still don't agree then I'm not going to will to you my 10 McDonald franchises!

MYTH #2: Your product is "The best product in the world". Look...there is only one network marketing business that can lay claim to having the "best" product in the world and neither you nor I know what company that is. It's impossible to know! Yes, it's okay to have a passion for your product but when choosing a company understand this:

They cannot logically lay claim to having the best product in the world. Heck, they may not even have the best product in their city! The good news is, it doesn't matter. The only issue is: DOES IT WORK ...NOT IS IT THE "BEST"! (See MYTH #1)

4 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Network Marketing Company

1. The Marketplace? Is the Network Marketing Company you are exploring on the forefront of a huge expanding market, the middle of a soon to be mature market or the worst possible position of all at the end of a declining market? This is a CRITICAL question because you can be "average" and still make it big if you are positioned in the front of a major expanding market.

NOTE: The company http://wwww.BestGreenHomeBusiness.com is a perfect example of positioning for massive success in the network marketing home based business profession in front of huge & every growing trends in the health & wellness/weight loss/energy niches.

However, "average" people don't usually succeed very well in a declining market. Look carefully at what industry you choose as this may have more impact on your success than your own personal abilities.

2. The Product? Does it work? Is it affordable? If the consumer can purchase a similar product somewhere else, (particularly at a lower price), then no true residual income is possible. Your product must satisfy a "need' or "want" and not be easily duplicated or mass marketed by others.

3. The Market Trend? Wealth is created by being in front of large trends. Timing is everything! Concentrate on large, aggressive and long market trends. Two issues will create major trends of the next 10-20 years. First are products associated with maintaining or enhancing personal health and second are "baby boomer" retirement issues.

4. The Leverage Factor? Can you create leverage in your prospective Network Marketing business? Without leverage you will NEVER create financial security. 95% at age 65 can't afford to retire because they worked their entire lives for "linear" income...so they got paid only when they worked. By utilizing the work hours of others, you can leverage your time. This is how all wealth is built. TIME leverage assures that you will NOT end up being a part of that 95%!

Okay...you are now armed with the right questions to help you find a good Network Marketing Company so the rest is up to you. Always do your "due diligence" on the company and ownership (VERY important!) but don't forget to explore the "The ONLY 4 Questions You REALLY Need to Ask When Choosing The Right Network Marketing Company."

Now it is important to understand there are two different kinds of systems: 1) How you learn the business (the knowledge part), and 2) How you build the business (the activity part). In a perfect world both systems would be the same—what you learn is what you do—however this will not always be the case. Let me explain...

When it comes to the knowledge part, the best system to learn the Network Marketing business is to read for 30 minutes everyday, listen to an audio program for 30 minutes every day, and to take four classes every year. The idea here is that as you get better, building your business will get easier.

Does this mean everything you read, hear, or learn, should become a part of what you do—part of your daily method of operation? No. Because when it comes to our background, our ability, or our belief, we can all be a little bit different. Therefore, some people may need to work on a certain skill, or get better, in a certain area that is not necessarily a part of the system...

For example, while some may need to give attention to improving their attitude, others may need to build their belief in the Network Marketing industry, or even in their company, as still others go to work on becoming more comfortable around strangers. After all, if you had a bad attitude, didn't believe in what you were doing, and were afraid to talk to people, building a successful business would be all but impossible regardless of your daily method of operation.

The reality is that in order to have the best chance of success in Network Marketing, you need to have a systematic way of progressively educating all those you bring into your business along with a daily method of operation they can follow to actually build the business.

After all, how will you acquire the prospecting skills you need in order to grow your Empire? How will you become an effective presenter of your business? How will you become a team leader others are happy to follow? The answer, again, is to have an on-going, step-by-step, progressive educational system in place that allows everyone on your team to get better over time...

True, when it comes to your daily method of operation—the activity part of actually building the business—you do need to make sure everyone is on the same page. For example, because prospecting is (or will be) very important in your overall success, where exactly will you find all those hot prospects to talk to? Your warm market, the cold market, or some combination of the two? And how will you present your business to the people you find? Will you conduct in-home events, use one-on-one appointments, invite potential prospects to listen to a recorded call like this one=> 1-866-567-0915 , or will you attempt to direct them to your Website?

And once your prospect says, "Yes!" how will you teach them the skills you learned so they can successfully build their business? Simple. You will teach them your progressive education system.

So how successful can you become using a well-designed system? Well, Orjan Saele of Oslo, Norway, together with his team, managed to build an organization of 300,000+ distributors throughout Scandinavia (a feat similar to running a four-minute mile). And he is not alone...

Indeed, well-designed systems utilizing progressive education as their foundation really do work!

Remember what I stated in the second paragraph? ...it is important to understand there are two different kinds of systems: 1) How you learn the business (the knowledge part), and 2) How you build the business (the activity part). To show you how this works, I have put together what I believe to be the best way to actually learn the business: 1) How to help them get started. 2) How to help them survive the first month in the business. 3) How to help them achieve their first promotion. 4) How to help them teach others the same system, etc.

This how you learn the business system will ensure your new business-builder gets started right, and understands the benefits of progressive education... The system will teach them how to prospect, present, and duplicate, along with how to create the right success mindset. It will then walk them through a step-by-step workshop-style program designed to ensure they put into practice all that they have learned. Best of all, by getting everyone on the same page, you will be able to invest your time actually building the business bigger and BIGGER instead of feeling like you're starting all over again!

So if this how you learn the business system approach makes sense to you, here are the exact steps to follow...

One reason far too many people fail in the lucrative Network Marketing business is because:  

They perceive Network Marketing as being a simple business model that is so easy it requires no special skills or talent.  

It's no wonder they think that. Most were introduced to Network Marketing by someone "selling" them on how easy it is, how much money they can make and how little time or investment is required.  Since most people tend to want something for nothing it's no wonder people join with the wrong attitude.   

I spent 10 years as the Chief Financial Officer of a Mutli-Million Dollar Transportation Corporation. Before I could handle that position, I had to first learn a number of skills and gain a lot of knowledge...all learned over time by trial and error and with help from many people.    

The Network Marketing business is a profession.  To be successful you must:

1.  Be willing to spend the time required to learn skills that you do not now possess.

2.  Stay in the game long enough to allow yourself to learn those required skills.   

Most people don't get it...you can't learn the professional Network Marketing business skills in a day, week or month...not even in a few months.  Success in Network Marketing takes time. There are rarely any overnight successes.   You cannot become a doctor or welder without education, training, mentorship, trial and error and TIME!   

If you want to help people become successful, start telling them the truth BEFORE they join your Network Marketing Company.   It takes 3-5 years to become an "overnight success"...not 3-5 weeks or 3-5 months.  And...you must work at it consistently on at least a part-time (not "spare-time") basis over that entire 3-5 year period.   Education and training are great but it's only through the actual "doing" of it over time that skills are actually learned.   

You need a business strategy that:

1.  Gets people in and

2.  Keeps them in long enough to progressively learn new skills, habits and attitudes that are required for long-term success in their Network Marketing business.    

The key words are "keeps" and "progressively".   If people don't stay in long enough then they can't learn enough to be successful and that learning curve is by nature progressive over time...there is simply too much to know and learn all at once.   

This is important...in over a decade of success in this Industry I have never met anyone that had the required skills, habits and attitudes when they first joined.   I have met a lot of people with backgrounds, education and experience that thought they already had those things...but when they found out they did not...they quit.  Of course they blamed it on the company, product, compensation plan, their sponsor, time limitations...anything but themselves.  

In truth, virtually anyone can learn the required skills to experience success in the Network Marketing business if they:

-  Stay in the game long enough to find out what they are

-  Practice them long enough to learn them

-  Apply those skills over and over

-  Progressively teach those same skills to others.

But your task isn't over. The next big decision is who will be your sponsor. I know what you are thinking, "But don't I have to join with the person who introduced me to this particular network marketing business"? In a word, "NO"! Look, your sponsor holds the key to a large part of your Network Marketing success (or failure!).

It's YOUR future and that of your family's so don't just jump on any horse and start riding. Don't put your future in the hands of just anybody.

The 5 Most Important Elements to Look For in a Great Sponsor:

1. Experience: Has your potential sponsor "Been there done that" or are they new to the whole network marketing business concept? If they are new, do they have the ability to tap you into leadership (perhaps their sponsor) that can help mentor you? How serious are they? Do they want to earn some money...or a lot of money? It helps if your ultimate goals are similar.

2. Success: Has your sponsor had success in the network marketing industry before? If so, what type of success? They don't have to have been a six-figure earner but you also don't need someone who has been in several programs who has had no success at all.

3. Availability: How easy is it to make contact with your sponsor? What are their work hours? Are they available for 3-way calls and if so when? Be careful. If your sponsor is too successful they may not have the time for you. Likewise, if they are only working their network marketing business on a "spare- time" basis instead of a "part-time" or "full-time" basis...they won't have time for you either.

4. Compatibility: Do you get along? Are your personalities compatible? You will be spending a LOT of time with them so this is very important!

5. Systems and Tools: Do they have the systems and tools in place to help you become successful? This would include:

o Team Calls
o A training program. How complete is it and how do you access it? Does it cost anything?
o Team web sites or something equal such as a webinar like this=> http:www.C4HTeam.com
o Simple recruiting system  
o Product sales training
o Access to business tools (business cards, flyers, marketing tools, etc.)

I know...the person you talked to may not meet the above qualifications so what do you do?

You must either:
1. Determine if someone in their upline can provide these things for you.
2. If not...then you MUST find a different sponsor.

If you can access all the above tools, and assuming you and your sponsor are compatible, then you should join with them. The likelihood is that your potential sponsor cannot provide this type of support because they, like most potential sponsors, are working their business part-time. However, it doesn't matter as long as the business systems are in place and you have access to them you can become successful.

What Doesn't Matter When Choosing Your Sponsor for Your Network Marketing Business:

1. Where your sponsor lives: It is a B-I-G myth that you need a sponsor in your hometown in order to build a successful network marketing business. Listen up...NO YOU DON"T! With today's technology it is totally irrelevant where your sponsor lives.

2. Age: Pay attention...NO IT DOESN'T! It's not about their age (any more than it's about your age). It's about the systems that are in place. Today, more and more young people are making it big in this industry and their inbred knowledge of how to use technology such as the Internet to build a network marketing business can be a big help to their success.

3. Male versus Female: Give me a break! If this is an issue with you...then you need to find a job and stay there. Note: 70% of those joining a network marketing business are women!

4. Background/Education: It doesn't matter if they are a doctor or a welder. What matters is what kind of person they are and what systems they can get you plugged into.

Concentrate on finding a sponsor that either has the systems and tools in place and/or can guarantee you can access those successful systems and tools and, assuming compatibility, then nothing else really matters...and you will be on your way to building a successful Network Marketing Business.

There are A LOT OF  people on the Internet promoting a concept that's not true.

Here is why I am very concerned:

Concern #1: Many people selling themselves on the Internet as "experts" have never actually "been there done that" for any length of time.

Concern #2: These "experts" are trying to convince (sell!) you that you can build a Network Marketing business using just the Internet without actually talking to anyone because people are just going to find you and sign-up. And what is the good news? They can teach you (sell you!) a program on how to do that and you will live happily ever after.

Listen up...there is no short-cut in this industry...PERIOD!

Pay attention (Boy is this going to make a lot of SO CALLED "experts" mad at me!) the Internet is a TOOL...it is NOT the business! You are building a Network Marketing business that requires a LOT of different tools in the tool box and the Internet is just one of them. It can be a very effective tool under the right circumstance but at the end of the day it's still just a tool. Many of these "experts" trying to sell you something want you to believe the Internet IS the business.

Concern #3: Many are promoting a dangerous philosophy. They call it "old school" versus "new school".

Pay attention...this is important...

THERE IS NO "NEW SCHOOL!...Did you get that? There have been little (if any!) fundamental changes to this industry in the last 50-years!

Yes, the tools have changed but the core business building methods have not.

History Lesson 101:

In the "old days" people made a list of their "friends and relatives". Why? Because, at the time, this was the only method available to make a contact list. How was the business presented?

Live...first it was in living rooms and later in large hotel meetings.

Then came the "audio-phase". Someone recorded an audio tape and taught everyone else how to pass it out. The tape did the "sorting and qualifying" of the prospect for you. The most famous (or infamous!) tape of all time was the "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" tape. Who did they give the tapes too? Anyone that would take them but ALWAYS that included their friends and relatives!

Next was the "VCR-phase". Wow! This changed everything because now we could really promote our network marketing business and, more importantly, the "lifestyles" of our successful distributors. This was a great advantage to the "average" distributor because the video did the entire business presentation for them. Later the video was replaced by the improved (and cheaper) DVD.

Then came the Internet and "auto-responders". Buy a list of names, email "blast" them about your Network Marketing business and those that responded became your "contact list". The others continued to receive emails called "drip letters"...because they would "drip" on them week after week for months...just like Chinese torture!

By necessity we needed a method to present our opportunity in the fastest and least expensive way possible. Mailing video tapes or DVDs was very expensive so...

The "web site phase" was born. Now anyone could look professional. It was FREE...and provided instant access to everything a prospect needed to know about your network marketing business. Ultimately, we added audios and videos directly onto the web site.

NOTE: Here’s an example of one of the most effective of these type websites for getting into profit quickly=> http://www.BestGreenHomeBusiness.com

How could it possibly get any better than that? Oh...it can!

Today it's "webinars". A webinar is a PowerPoint Presentation with audio. Since most people never look a web site (90%) and people are too busy to go to meetings anymore, we take the meeting to them in the comfort of their own home on their laptop.

NOTE: As an example, this site=> http://www.C4HTeam.com is one of the best 24hr recorded webinar sites on the internet right now.

What about "auto-dialers"? You purchase a list of names, record a message and "blast" that message to the phone systems of those on your list. It's been successful for years in other industries and it's just the beginning in the Network Marketing business.

Oh...I almost forgot. That "New School" thing we were discussing...

Well...it's nothing more than the next logical use of the Internet to generate your own leads.

I’m sorry...I thought we already did that using "auto-responders" 10-YEARS AGO! True...but now it's free through use of chat boards, YouTube, postings, blogs, articles, etc...nothing new...just different ways to accomplish the very same thing...generate leads!

THERE IS NO ONE "RIGHT" WAY to generate leads. A professional uses a number of different lead generating techniques ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

* Like this simple turnkey system as an example=> http://tinyurl.com/3gla93p 

The real issue is what do you do with that lead once you get it?

Concern #4: If I don't join your Network Marketing business, what good was it to get me as a lead regardless of where I came from? Oh...I forgot...I'm just going to pay my hard earned money and sign-up without ever talking to you.

Read the following sentence at least three times...

"If someone is willing to spend $100-$500 (or more) to join your Network Marketing business without ever having talked to you...they probably aren't smart enough to build a business anyway"!

The "experts" want you to believe that you never have to talk to your friends, relatives (NOTE: See "The REAL REASON You Won’t Talk to YOUR Friends and Family About Your Network Marketing Business") or anyone else because people will sign-up without you needing any real prospecting skills.

Stop the nonsense! It's called NETWORK Marketing...of course you have to talk to people. This business is about RELATIONSHIPS not "lead generation". There are a lot of skill sets and tools required to build a high volume, high profit, Network Marketing business to last a lifetime and the Internet is just one of them.

Why You Won't Talk to Your Friends and Relatives...the REAL reasons:

1. Credibility. You have no credibility with your friends and relatives. After all...you aren't rich yet!   They know you too well...so you can't "fake it until you make it". Since you can't tell them why you will be successful this time, you just avoid the issue altogether by not telling them about it in the first place. 
 
2. You don't believe in your company. No you don't! Because you paid money to join a Network Marketing business doesn't mean you actually believe in it. Belief in your company takes time and is ONLY tested when something happens that you don't like! (Read that again.) Anyone can have a "belief" when things are going well.    
 
3. You don't believe in your product(s). Belief in your product is the easiest belief to gain. It either works or it doesn't. However, you have to take it or use it long enough to gain that belief.

NOTE: Products that have an immediate & long term effect like these usually work best for building a long term business.
 
4. You don't believe in your opportunity. NO YOU DON'T! Until you actually make money...you don't believe in it. Want proof? Who is the most important person in your life?  Do you want to see them financially free...or some stranger you met on a chat board! If you REALLY believed in your opportunity, if you REALLY believed that you were going to become rich...then why would you want to take some stranger on the trip with you instead of someone you know? That simply makes no sense. The only people who won't talk to their friends and relatives are those that don't believe in their opportunity!

NOTE: Success leaves clues . . . Business Models that are simple, fun & have lucrative FAST START Bonuses like this=> http://www.BestGreenHomeBusiness.com will build your belief & bank account the quickest!
 
5. You don't believe in yourself.  If you believed in yourself, you couldn't wait to tell your friends and relatives about your Network Marketing business because you KNOW you are going to be successful. But...since you don't actually believe in yourself, you are afraid to put yourself "out there on the line" with them, but you will do so with strangers because you have no relationship with them. Belief in you is going to take a L-O-N-G time.
 
* Why You Should Talk to Your Friends and Relatives...the REAL reasons!

NOTE: You'll probably need expert help on learing exactly WHAT to say to them to get them begging to know more about YOUR business right? If so click HERE NOW ....or here=> http://tinyurl.com/76928pv

1. You need experience. You will NOT consistently sponsor people in the "cold market" unless you have developed certain skill sets...regardless of where that lead came from, Internet or not! Talking with your friends and relatives is the fastest way to gain some of that important experience base. It's NOT about whether they join or not. It's NOT about them...it's about YOU. It's about you getting your feet wet! ( READ THAT AGAIN! )
 
2. "Why didn't you tell me about this"? Once successful, your friends and relatives are not going to be happy that you didn't share this with them in the beginning. They may not have joined anyway, but that's not the issue. The issue is about you never having regrets. Personally, I want to be able to say, "I told you so", rather than, "I'm sorry". 
 
3. If your company has a "fast-start" program it's very important you qualify for it. You will NOT earn that bonus if you insist on only recruiting in from the cold market.  It takes time to fill up your pipeline and there won't be enough time if the Internet is the only technique you use.

You do want to make/earn FAST STAR Bonuses quickly like these=> http://tinyurl.com/7rp34qx right???

4. Who is the most important person in your life? Do you want to see them financially free...or some stranger you met on a chat board!
 
5. Because you don't know enough yet to present it to someone you don't know!  
 
If you don't have enough credibility to tell your friends and relatives about your new Network Marketing business then you probably won't make it anyway because this business in all about credibility and it's about getting past the fear of rejection because no one likes to be rejected.

If you won't address this small obstacle of fear concerning your "warm market", then trust me...you certainly won't be able to handle the much bigger obstacles that will most certainly come your way on the road to building your Network Marketing business.
 
One comment regarding the Internet...
 
If you are new to your Network Marketing business, you can generate leads using the Internet and I can purchase leads from a reputable lead company and I will sponsor more than you. Why? It is because of skills I have learned from being the top recruiter in two different Network Marketing companies...no not for one month...but top recruiter for the YEAR!  It's those skills that are important and not where the lead came from. Do I believe in using the Internet to generate leads? Yes...I have for years.  

However, the important thing is your SKILL and not where the lead was generated. 
 
Certain "experts" are going to get upset when they read this article (and "MLM/Network Marketing Prospecting & Recruiting Training | The 5 Biggest Reasons People FAIL to Recruit High Quality Business Partners In The Network Marketing Profession") because it tells the truth and the "truth will set you free"!
 
Any here is the truth...
 
The Internet is a tool...it's not the business. In the United States, 55,000 people join a Network Marketing business with effective Success Systems or direct sales company every month and...

85% of those distributors, regardless of what company, still join with someone they know...Internet or no Internet!

We have all heard that building a successful Network Marketing business is a "numbers game". What that means is if we just talk to enough people we can ultimately become successful. But how do we know how many people we need to talk to? Is it even possible to find out and if so "How do you find it"?

The answer is "Yes, it is"...and we can do so by first understanding some history. By looking at what others have done it tells us what is possible for us to do. Let's look at the "Law of the Magic Number" and how to find yours.

A number of years ago ABC did a show on Amway...the largest Network Marketing business in the world. They interviewed Bill Britt, a multi-millionaire in this industry. When asked, "What is your secret" he replied, "There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people, 900 said 'No' and only 300 signed-up. Out of the 300, only 85 did anything at all...out of those 85 only 35 were serious...and out of those 35...11 made me a millionaire." His "Magic Number" was 1200...! Get it!

Rich DeVos, cofounder of Amway Corporation became the 11th richest person in America. He once said that he sponsored 500 people, 495 dropped out and the 5 that stayed built the Amway Corporation. His "Magic Number" was 500...! Get it!

A friend of mine told me that he showed his Network Marketing business to 730 people and 579 said "No". Of the 151 that joined, 86 did something and of those 86 only 36 were serious. Of those 36 that were serious, 11 made him a millionaire ($80,000 a month!). His "Magic Number" was 730...! Get it!

For Bill Britt his Magic Number was only 11 out of 1200, for Rich DeVos it was only 5 out of 500 and for my friend it was just 11 out of 730...each found their "Magic Number" by "going through the numbers". The difference in their individual numbers was because of different skill levels, learning curves, personalities, backgrounds and experiences.

Because of a lot of factors everyone has a different "Magic Number". But...based on history we know this...Your personal "Number" is somewhere between 500 and 1500! But, here is the reality...Most people quit LONG before they find their personal "Magic Number"! They quit before the "blessing"... they just don't know it!

The fact is that most people trying to build a successful Network Marketing business simply don't stay in the game long enough to become successful. They talk to 2 or 3 people...no one is interested...so they quit. Most people fail in their Network Marketing business for the same reasons they fail in everything else they do. They don't have the required self-discipline and when you combine the lack of self-discipline with unrealistic expectations...it's a formula for disaster. And because of this...Most people peak when they sign their application!

So ask yourself this question, "Am I prepared to make presentations of my Network Marketing business (over the next 3-5 years!) to 500-1500 people"? If not...then just understand that you may make some money but you won't build long-term financial and time freedom.

NOTE: Finding people to talk to is easy, but you'll probably need expert help on learing exactly WHAT to say to them to get them begging to know more about YOUR business right? If so click HERE NOW ....or here=> http://tinyurl.com/76928pv

You can either embrace the truth of what it REALLY takes to build your Network Marketing business or you can make up excuses for your failure like everyone else does. Just like the "Laws of Nature", there are certain "Laws of Success" in this industry.

Those "Laws" (whether you choose to believe them or not!) will either work for you or against you...but either way they will work because they are "Laws". One of them is the "Law of the Magic Number". The important thing is, the will you make it work for you or against you...because...in the end...it's your most important decision!

I have said that before...and I hope you understand we are a business of Communication...with marketing blended into it... with that in mind...

There are 5 HUGE reasons why people fail in recruiting in network marketing...and after studying and doing the business for nearly 11 years fulltime, I discovered there is a pattern that I saw that developed with people who were struggling with their recruiting, which usually is the majority of folks...and I hope that you will look at these 5 reasons and see where you can change your focus and efforts to a more productive and effective style of recruiting....

Here are The 5 Reasons for Massive Recruiting Failure In The MLM/Network Marketing Profession...

1) 'The Team Member NOT Talking to People...'

Yes, you read that right...amazing as that sounds... there are many people who lead people to believe with their words that they are actually recruiting and talking  to people...but they are not.

They are busy at building a facade of a business and never really engaging the conversation and contact
necessary for success...

Why?

Fear....of many things....but that is the biggest reason... and you want to know how to overcome it?

Find a recruiting partner who will help emotionally support you and help you...whether it is your support team  or sideline... and work with them... yes, there are folks out there who truly are talking to no one, as they are scared... if you see no action happening  with someone in your organization, it may be a 'silent talker'....other wise know as someone who talks about recruiting, but is silent when it comes time to recruit...

You MUST communicate with folks if you are going to have success in the marketplace...

Imagine...fooling yourself into believing you are truly working this business this way...NOT!

2) 'The Team Member  Not talking to Enough People...'

This is an interesting thing....there seems to be a comfort level with people that says I have talked to xx number of people, and nothing is happening...so that means I can't recruit because this doesn't work...' again...NOT!

I have said this over and over:

Team A.T.A.P.  Secret:

One of the biggest reasons failure occurs in Networking is too many distributors spend too much time with too many people who  have too little of an interest...

CLUE: talk to a lot of DIFFERENT people....it amazes me that someone can say they talked to a lot of folks, and in reality they talked a lot to a few folks...who have little interest... all because they don't have to go out and talk to NEW people...

Team A.T.A.P.  Secret:
In recruiting....NEW blood keeps the heart of your business  pumping....

Talk to ENOUGH people and talk to people ENOUGH...but don't turn them off....go on to a new person, and see what happens with that person verses trying to force someone into the business who later will only leave with a bad taste...

3) 'The Team Member NOT Talking to The Right People'

Wasting massive amounts of time.

That is what most distributors do when recruiting...and continue to do...they talk to the wrong people, and then bring in the wrong people...and then have an organization  of mostly wrong people...

So . . .Who are the right people?

People who light up and catch Fire when you show them this business, and then light other's up when they talk...

NOT  someone who complains after only 2 days because the application is the wrong color...or the wrong size... or the support team  is not doing enough to welcome them aboard...2 phone calls is not enough...you know the type...

There is what we call the 'Recruiting IQ'...and that helps tell you if they are the right one...

IQ stands for 'Ignite Quickly'...and if they catch fire quickly...they have a great chance of being the
'right one' to pursue...

And here is a Team A.T.A.P.  Secret::

To attract the Right One...you must BECOME the right one....you must become who you want to attract into this business...through personal development and empowerment....

4) 'The Team Member Not Talking Right To People...'

This is a business of communication...and thusly of verbiage and emotion as well....

Team A.T.A.P.  Secret::
A lot of Team Members are simply saying the wrong things to the wrong people with a wrong message...

You must talk to people with a YOU focus...it is called the T.I.N.Y. Focus...

Their Interests Not Yours...

And you focus whether online or offline, on what interests them and do it Professionally...( Team A.T.A.P.  Secret)

Nothing turns someone off worse than a self focused and self absorbed distributor who is only focused on recruiting a person for THEIR reasons...not the reason of the prospect... and the words they are using reveal a lot...

Me...me...I....I...me...me...I...I....me...me...I...I......me...me...you.

That is called a MAJOR Team A.T.A.P.  Secret


You should say the word 'You' at least 4 times more than the word 'I' or 'me'...

Team A.T.A.P.Exercise:

Here is an exercise we teach our Leaders to teach their Teams

Try recruiting someone without using the word 'I' or 'me'....use we and us...and see
 how the prospect's interests increases as you use YOU 4 times more than Us or We...

5) 'Talking TOO Much to People You Are Talking To....'

Some folks have diarrhea of the mouth...and they talk ...and talk...and they talk....and then talk...and talk.... and talk......and by the time they finish...the prospects finished.... by the way....

Our Success Team has mastered using 2 incredible  products that covers this in depth.

One  called “The Dani Johnson Prospecting & Closing Script Book!'  AND  A Complete Business Building System that gives you HOT NEW QUALITY LEADS EVERY week , GUARANTEES  YOU 15 New Business Partners into A High Profit , High Volume Home Based Business Model in 6 months or less or . . . we’ll give you $1000 CASH!

This is some HOT Training on just what we are going over, but this article is just a very small part of it...

Check them both out here=> http://tinyurl.com/76928pv and  . . .  here=> http://tinyurl.com/787q6jb  .

Don't Dump on people! Create a RECRUITING ENVIRONMENT that lets the prospect to do most of the talking...

Ask a lot of questions... Listen a lot of minutes... ask a lot of questions...

Team A.T.A.P.  Secret

Most people LOVE to have an audience...but they hate to BE an audience....you BE an audience of one for massive listening to your prospect, and don't create a 'Sat Chat'.... what is that?

A Saturation chat....where they feel saturated with your words and info, and feel they have enough
information to tell you...

No.

If you are going to be a HOT recruiter...you must CONNECT with your folks...and the best way to do that is to become an audience of one... and ask a lot of  'Magnetic Questions...'...whether online or offline....
