Does the future of ML.M depend on Internet Marketing?

{Below is an excellent article I wanted to share by an industry leader.
It sheds great light on internet marketing and MLM.
The internet is a powerful tool but it is only a tool! Enjoy the article!}

It seems like everywhere you are looking for training on network
marketing, people are talking about how the traditional ways doesn't
work anymore and the internet is the only way.
You will hear about how they generate leads through youtube.com
and myspace.com etc

But does it really work for network marketers or is it just hype to
get you to buy their training programs? The answer is YES and NO.

Internet marketing works really effectively, but ONLY for a specific
purpose and it's not the silver bullet many make it up to be.
In fact in many cases internet network marketing is hurting the long
term reputation of our great industry.

It seems like nobody has realized it, but network marketing is not
just about making sales and doing signups. What it really is about
is building teams and leading them to take action. It's also about
helping people develop themselves and becoming more. And it's about
creating a community and a sense of family and belonging to a cause
bigger than an individual.

When you can do this people will stick, stay and duplicate. If you
can't do it, people will drop out as soon as the first challenges
come around or they get bored because they don't get results as fast
or as easy as they thought.

If you don't have the skill of relating to people, connecting,
prospecting,  presenting and  leading, it doesn't really matter how
many people you can sign up over the internet or anywhere else.
They are going to drop out.

I've met someone who personally signed up 500 people and still
didn't have more than 200 active people.
FIVE HUNDRED Personally enrolled  !!!!!!!!
That means that there was absolutely NO duplication.

Duplication is ultimately what it's all about in network marketing.
If you don't have duplication your growth will soon slow down and
stop. IF you know how to duplicate, you don't need to sign up a
bunch of people to succeed. I signed up just 8 people that grew to
over 1000. Then I signed up another 10 and my organization grew to
4,500.

I've met a person that built a downline of 30,000 people without
having a computer. So in my experience the most important skills
to master are: connecting, building trust and leading.

IF however you DO have those skills, the internet is an amazing way
to generate leads. In fact as we speak I'm developing and testing
the next generation system for how to generate tons of f.ree and
cheap leads over the internet.

So the answer to the question posed in the title is:
No the future of M.LM does NOT depend on internet marketing.
You will always be able to build a huge business in the real world,
if you have great human skills.

However if do have the necessary human skills, internet marketing
can definitely speed up the process of finding qualified people,
and there is no doubt that it will play a more and more significant
role in the future.

Stay tuned for more tips about how to specifically use social media
sites like facebook.com and other internet marketing strategies to
generate tons of qualified leads.

Until then - happy teambuilding and have a glorious weekend

How to Avoid This MLM Prospecting Hazard to Achieve Massive Success

It is true that there are many prospecting hazards that MLM business owners make. There is one hazard though, that can literally keep you from achieving the success you want. It is based on the premise that no one wants to be sold. Everyone wants to make their own decision.

So what is this MLM prospecting hazard you want to steer clear of?

Telling is not selling! The hazard is not asking your prospects enough questions! If you are spending all of your time telling, you are not going to get anywhere. People get bored listening to you. They will clam up and reject you before you get to the third reason why your opportunity is the best thing since blue jeans!

The key to prospecting is asking questions. The person asking questions is the person in control. If you do not ask your prospect questions, how are you supposed to know what is important to them. You are also potentially wasting your time. If you do not ask your prospect what they are looking for, how can you know they are looking for what you have?

It is a natural tendency for people to resist statements. But, if you ask them the right questions they will discover and believe the benefits themselves! This is when they start selling themselves. It takes the entire responsibility off your hands. You also create and build tons of credibility when you ask the right questions.

An important aspect of asking questions is to ask them from the right attitude. If you come from a place of truly wanting to help this person you will be able to come up with great questions and your prospect will also feel your sincerity. When you meet someone who is genuine and concerned about your wants and needs, do you feel attracted to them? That is exactly how your prospects will feel about you when you ask the right questions!

It is so important to ask your prospect really good questions that you should commit to becoming a lifetime student of questions! A good tip to start learning how is to pay attention to what questions a really good salesperson asks you. Be aware of how it makes you feel and how you could possibly use it in your own MLM business.

Are You Failing In MLM Enough?

This might sound funny to you but it is a good indicator of why you are having success or why you are not. This past weekend I was fortunate enough to see Robert Kiyosaki speak live at my Primary Business Convention. He was an incredible speaker and it was very exciting to listen to him!

He told his story about being a salesman early in his career. He was struggling to stay afloat and could not figure out how to change that. His rich dad told him he had to increase his failure rate. Understandably Robert was quite surprised by this statement. "What do you mean?" He then went on to explain if you are not failing fast enough you are not learning and you are not talking to enough people!

If you want to have more success in your MLM business...... Get to failing faster. Talk to more people who tell you no. The law of averages will start kicking in and eventually you will get better and better.

How many times are you planning to fail today? (Or how many people are you going to approach about your business today)

If you are stuck in a rut, do something today that will make you uncomfortable. You will learn from it and it will make you a better person!
