I get this question (and its variants) a lot in my quest to help others achieve network marketing success:
&#8220;How many people do I really need to
sponsor?”  Should I go for quality of quantity? If you sponsor
too many won’t they just end up quitting?
Here’s my response:
If everything were perfect maybe just MAYBE you’d need to [...]

<p>I get this question (and its variants) a lot in my quest to help others achieve network marketing success:</p>
<p>&#8220;How many people do I really need to</p>
<p>sponsor?”  Should I go for quality of quantity? If you sponsor</p>
<p>too many won’t they just end up quitting?</p>
<p>Here’s my response:</p>
<p><span id="more-270"></span>If everything were perfect maybe just MAYBE you’d need to sponsor just 3-4.</p>
<p>But the world ain’t perfect ladies and gents <img src='http://www.connectednetworker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The reality is you really DON’T KNOW how many you have to sponsor.</p>
<p>That in fact is why you need to “work the numbers” as they say and learn how to discriminate prospects with a higher percentage of success than others. By asking qualifying and probing questions to get to the root of WHY they want a better life or WHY they want to make more money, you can tell better their chances of network marketing success when they join your business.</p>
<p>Even then sometimes the most qualified looking prospect may tank and then someone you think won’t do ANYTHING could surprise you with extraordinary effort in their biz. Hint: that’s someone you want to keep an eye on and work with!</p>
<p>Even so, I’d sponsor more than just 3-4 folks. Personally I think 10-20 is a great number to shoot for. If you can get 3-4 folks and increase your recruiting skill level, getting to 10-20 isn’t anymore harder. And you still must assume that only a small number of them will really work the business. It’s just human nature.</p>
<p>So what you need to do is only work with those folks who are really working the business.</p>
<p>And you can work with more than 3-4 folks btw.</p>
<p>if you do it &#8220;SMART.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the best ways to do this is to work and train your group with conference calls.</p>
<p>This way your your teaching and training hits multiple ears which is productive time management for you as well.</p>
<p>You can still do 1 on 1s but this is effective with multiple folks.</p>
<p>I think the real important point for your network marketing success here is to work to sponsor 5-7 SOLID LEADERS who are duplicating</p>
<p>YOU. You may have to sponsor 10-20 to get to those, but do it.</p>
<p>You business and lifestyle will THANK YOU!</p>
<p>Crush it,</p>

Twitter can be a great marketing strategy. But It can also be a time sink if you don&#8217;t really know how to leverage it effectively.
One of the stats you don&#8217;t really hear mentioned is that over 30% of new twitterers drop off within about a month.
I have three different accounts with over 10k followers. And I made [...]

<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Twitter can be a great marketing strategy. But It can also be a time sink if you don&#8217;t really know how to leverage it effectively.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">One of the stats you don&#8217;t really hear mentioned is that over 30% of new twitterers drop off within about a month.</span></p>
<p>I have three different accounts with over 10k followers. And I made a lot of mistakes before I figured out a process.<br />
But just because you have a ton of followers doesn&#8217;t mean you have INFLUENCE over them.</p>
<p>With that said the best way to use Twitter right now IMHO is to use it as a listbuilding strategy to get folks ON as followers and TRANSFER them as <span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">quickly as possible onto a page to capture them as LEADS where you get to control how and when you continuously communicate with </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">them. This can be a blog where you have a pop up squeeze page and/or a separate squeeze page all together.</span></p>
<div>
<p>Internet marketers all know that a building a list is the cornerstone of all their online marketing efforts.</p>
<p>So yes, Twitter can be used as a great network marketing strategy for promotion, for lead generation etc., but don&#8217;t SPAM.</p>
<p>And while you&#8217;re listbuilding you can use Twitter is to brand YOU as an expert.</p>
<p>That means GIVING and PROVIDING good quality content that helps to SOLVE their problems at least as much as you promote your primary business.</p>
<p>When it comes down to it, people are really joining you and not your mlm company.</p>
<p>So there&#8217;s nothing wrong with automating your efforts either like auto following and automating your tweets IMHO as long as its good quality content.</p>
<p>You can provide a ratio of say 5-10 good quality on topic content posts ( a quote, a question, a retweet, etc) to one promotion whether it be an event,</p>
</div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">link to your blog page or whatever you&#8217;re promoting.</span></p>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif;">Do this consistently for a month and in that time I can almost guarantee that you&#8217;ll increase your chances for network marketing success!</span></div>

<p>Lets face some facts here. Although  the internet has made it extremely easy to market your network marketing business, every networker and his/her grandmother is on the internet these days trying to get you to sign on and become their newest distributor newbie for <strong>network marketing success</strong>. Sadly, most folks today are still using their company&#8217;s own cookie cutter marketing material and websites drowning themselves in a sea of look alikes and lessening their chances of catching more prospects and signing up distributors.<span id="more-243"></span></p>
<p>When I click on someone&#8217;s link that takes me to one of those sites, I&#8217;m like &#8220;ho-hum&#8221; and &#8220;next!&#8221; Here&#8217;s how branding yourself cuts through the noise and makes you stand head and shoulders above the networker crowd, attracting more targeted prospects who are potential distributors for your mlm:</p>
<h3><strong>Branding separates you from the rest of the pack.</strong></h3>
<div>Branding yourself helps to create an identity over time that can be different than anyone else. That uniqueness is what helps you attract other potential prospects for your your mlm business.</div>
<div>On the internet that uniqueness  can be created through:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Customized Blogs</li>
<li>Videos and customized YouTube channels</li>
<li>Facebook fan pages</li>
<li>Twitter accounts with customized backgrounds</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>We all tend to notice the things that are &#8220;different&#8221; from those things that have become &#8220;normal&#8221; over time.</p>
<div>And we tend to become desensitized to those things that are occur all the time.</div>
<div>Branding yourself in network marketing makes you stand out from everyone else who is kinda &#8220;normal.</div>
<div>And people tend to be naturally attracted to those people who are different.</div>
<h3><strong>Branding positions you as the expert</strong></h3>
<div>By using different media to market yourself differently than your network marketing company does, you gain the opportunity to position yourself as the expert.  Now the kicker is you have to provide value and you can&#8217;t just hawk your product.  Just promoting your product will LOSE you prospects because then you&#8217;ll be just like everyone else.</div>
<div>Effectively branding yourself means you have to selflessly provide some content that helps people to succeed in network marketing, hopefully like this article is doing RIGHT NOW <img src='http://www.connectednetworker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>
<h3><strong>Branding positions YOU as an ASSET</strong></h3>
<div>YOU are your greatest asset and most important resource,  NOT your network marketing company! And check it, when you have effectivley branded yourself if your mlm ever goes belly up (and trust me they do) your branding will make it FAR more easier to keep your current team and have them follow you to your next venture.  And it&#8217;ll make it easy to move your prospects into a marketing funnel or funded proposal <a href="http://www.connectednetworker.com/2010/05/08/network-marketing-systems-deadly-powerful-ways-the-right-marketing-system-can-make-you-money/">network marketing system</a>.</div>
<h3><strong>&#8220;With great power comes great resposibility.&#8221;</strong></h3>
<p>Peter Parker a.ka. Spiderman (my favorite superhero)  had his uncle Owen say this to him about his super powers and it was a defining moment for Peter, affecting how he would devote his crime fighting career to helping people. IMHO branding gives you great power to attract others to YOU. And now you have a great responsibility in your network marketing career to give back and help others in return while you achieve <strong>network marketing success.</strong></p>
<div>
<div>Use your new found powers wisely!</div>
</div>
<p>Crush it,</p>

<p>Ladies and Gents, heres the no holds barred deal. YOU may not have what it takes for network marketing success.</p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why. There are some specific traits and characteristics, knowledge and actions you really need to have to succeed in this business.<br />
<span id="more-189"></span><br />
Its not about what you WANT to have happen.  Everybody WANTS more money.  I get it and I&#8217;ve heard it all before.</p>
<p>Wanting is NOT DOING and wanting is not KNOWING what to do.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how to tell the you&#8217;re not cut out for<strong> network marketing success</strong>:</p>
<h3>1 You don&#8217;t have a clear reason why you&#8217;re doing the business.</h3>
<p>Yup I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard this one before &#8211; its basically about your WHY.  I&#8217;m not gonna rehash the ol&#8217; &#8220;classic&#8221; except to say it&#8217;s true.  If you don&#8217;t know WHY you&#8217;re doing something you get to make excuses and avoid commitment.</p>
<p>The more you know &#8220;why&#8221; you do or want to do anything,  the easier it is to move forward and stay motivated towards your goal.</p>
<p>Foggy reasons produce &#8220;foggy&#8221; results.  You really have to get clear on what you&#8217;re going to &#8220;get&#8221; by working towards your network marketing success.</p>
<h3>2 You don&#8217;t have a clear action plan a set of steps for getting from where you are now to where you want to be for network marketing success.</h3>
<p>Here&#8217;s another &#8220;doosy&#8221; Knowing your why is cool, but what good is knowing where you want to be and why you want to be there without knowing what path will actually GET you there?</p>
<p>Man, I see this time and time again where a newbie say Sue jumps on board a new company all excited and jumps back &#8220;out&#8221; in just a few months. Why? Sue didn&#8217;t know how to <strong><em>achieve </em></strong>her why. She didn&#8217;t know the <strong><em>concrete income producing action steps</em></strong> to get her to her goal. And &#8220;shame&#8221; on the distributor, Jack well he just didn&#8217;t really know how to get her there.</p>
<p>Listen, don&#8217;t <strong>EVER </strong>join/invest in an MLM business without knowing how you&#8217;re going to achieve your goals or your return on investment.  Donald Trump wouldn&#8217;t do it,  Robert Kawasaki wouldn&#8217;t either.  And neither should you.</p>
<h3>3 You&#8217;re not consistently taking the action steps to achieve the success in your network marketing business.</h3>
<p>Hello.  So you know why you&#8217;re doing the mlm thing. And maybe you have that action plan.<br />
Well what GOOD is an action plan when you&#8217;re not IN ACTION? Are you tracking your efforts?<br />
Do you know the basic hours you should be putting in as a part timer vs full timer? Do you know what your closing ratio is?<br />
Are you putting in the hours necessary hours. You MUST put in the time necessary, track your efforts,  review your results and make the changes necessary to STAY ON TRACK towards your <strong>network marketing success.</strong></p>
<h3>4 You don&#8217;t understand how to MARKET your business, how your particular business works and how you get paid.</h3>
<p>Congrats, you know your why, you know the action steps, you&#8217;re taking action. Problem: you could be taking the wrong actions.  Every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sue may be right for your vitamin &#8220;do-hicky&#8221; but you shouldn&#8217;t MARKET to everyone because you&#8217;ll probably hit NO-ONE. Marketing needs to be TARGETED to be effective. You need to learn the basics of marketing.</p>
<p>You should know your comp plan. Anyone who tells you otherwise is doing you a disservice.</p>
<p>Your comp plan is HOW YOU GET PAID PERIOD.</p>
<p>This is YOUR business don&#8217;t you want to know how you&#8217;ll make the benjamins?  Most leaders know their plans backwards and forwards. Knowing it ensures you know how to build it and structure it for maximum effectiveness.</p>
<p>Are you cut out for network marketing success. Following these guidelines and you&#8217;ll be so far ahead of the pack towards your dreams, you may just find yourself laughing all the way to the bank.</p>

If you&#8217;ve been around the block at all in network marketing you&#8217;ve heard the classic phrase,
&#8220;Ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice!&#8221;
Okay, I agree &#8211; to a point.


Here&#8217;s the deal. You don&#8217;t EVER want to be ignorant about what truly goes on about your business
whether its a network marketing business or any other [...]

<p style="text-align: left;">If you&#8217;ve been around the block at all in network marketing you&#8217;ve heard the classic phrase,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Ignorance on fire is better than knowledge on ice!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Okay, I agree &#8211; to a point.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s the deal. You don&#8217;t EVER want to be ignorant about what truly goes on about your business</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-120"></span>whether its a network marketing business or any other business you&#8217;re investing your hard earned money and time into.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Lets say some guy told you that if you just invested $50,000 of your hard earned money into some oil scheme you&#8217;ll make triple your money. Then he says you don&#8217;t need to fully understand how the money would be invested and exactly HOW and when you&#8217;d earn back your investment.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Then he tells you to go recruit some of your friends and family and just let your excitement and enthusiasm compensate for your lack of knowledge.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I see this all the time in network marketing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For some reason folks think its ok to throw caution to the wind when doing your due diligence investigating an mlm business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Do yourself a favor. Don&#8217;t.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s the problem. You&#8217;re doing yourself and your potential business partner a major disservice when you recruit solely on enthusiasm alone.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If your network marketing business collapses your parnters may be PISSED.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">But really, you owe it to yourself as an entrepreneur and investor in your own mlm business to ask all the tough questions and thoroughly understand the potential of your network marketing business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I see newbies and experienced networkers who don&#8217;t understand their compensation plan because their friggin sponsor has convinced them that Oh, they don&#8217;t need to understand the comp plan right now. They can learn it along the way.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well what if the comp plan sucks? And they learn that &#8220;along the way&#8221;? Also mind you certain comp plans are waaaaay better than others. Some reward well with high upfront retail sales while some reward better on the residual back end.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And some comp plans aren&#8217;t worth the paper their printed on.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I also see new ignorantly burning distributors who know nothing about the principals of their business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They have no CLUE how successful they are, or what businesses they&#8217;ve run in the past.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They don&#8217;t know what past legal entanglements the principals have been involved in or what current legal issues their current company might be dealing with.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In short anyone who plans to relies soley on ignorant enthusiam blasting right out of the gate in their new network marketing business may be selling themselves short</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">long term because they haven&#8217;t spent enough up front time understanding how viable their mlm business is and how suited they are to work the business.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Do yourself a favor. Ask the right questions before you join a new mlm. Strive for KNOWLEDGE on fire instead of ignorance.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve teamed up with Carlos Aponte Jr. to teach distributors how to succeed in 12 months. If you&#8217;re in the network marketing industry and you don&#8217;t know who Carlos Aponte Jr is you should.  He&#8217;s a 15 year veteran in the in the network marketing industry and at the tender age of just 34 is one of the massive shining success stories within our industry.  The dude has made some massive &#8220;coin&#8221; in in network marketing raking in millions of dollars for multiple network marketing companies. And if that ain&#8217;t enough he&#8217;s been featured in the book &#8220;Chicken Soup For the Network Marketing Soul&#8221;.<br />
<span id="more-65"></span><br />
<strong>Carlos-Top Networker</strong><br />
Why did I do this you ask? Uh wait did you read the paragraph above? The dude is super successful! And you become you you hang out with. You wanna be successful you hand out with super successful folks. Don&#8217;t get me wrong I&#8217;m now slouch myself. I make six figures in the corporate world.</p>
<p>But you know what? My time isn&#8217;t my own. And somebody else calls the shots. And that is no way to live my life ultimately.  And I selfishly want to help other people succeed. I spent years of  hard time in the mlm slammer getting nowhere.  I got out, I&#8217;m successful in the game and now I want to teach others how to do the same.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s cool is that I work DIRECTLY with Carlos.  None of this 10 folks between me and Carlos.  Nope.  I have a problem  speed dial Carlos&#8217; celly.  As Paris Hilton would say, &#8220;Thats hot&#8221;. But I slightly digress.</p>
<p>Anyhou&#8230;My point is that I&#8217;ve teamed up directly with Carlos and we&#8217;re showing folks how to succeed in 6 figure land in 12 months.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll hear us talk about things in the network marketing industry you&#8217;ve NEVER heard before.</p>
<p><strong>Understand How Network Marketing Works</strong></p>
<p>You&#8217;ll truly understand how to make network marketing WORK and you&#8217;ll understand how to actually MARKET network marketing which is something the gurus don&#8217;t want you to know.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re using cutting edge internet marketing, social media and even offline tactics that most folks don&#8217;t even have a CLUE as to how to use properly.</p>
<p>Look if you want to be in a vastly different place, ACTUALLY making six figures in the next 12 months, you need to exercise that itchy little trigger finger of your and get schooled the RIGHT WAY.</p>

<p>Lets face it. The social media revolution is definitely HERE to stay. People crave interconnectedness and relationships and social media on the internet has allowed folks to communicate through every crack and crevice of their lives.</p>
<p><span id="more-51"></span></p>
<p>Twitter is a microblogging service that lets anyone enter and send short messages or “tweets” of up to 140 characters  in length to the internet. Any one who “follows” you gets your tweet . You can send messages to everyone, to a particular person. You can take someones message and resend it to your own group. Having a list of followers is a little like having an email list. Although there are other services out there, twitter is the most well known and most popular by far.</p>
<p>How can you use twitter for your <a title="network marketing business" href="http://www.connectednetworker.com/2008/12/24/willing-to-do-what-it-takes-in-your-network-marketing-business/">network marketing business</a>? Heres how:</p>
<p><strong>Self Promotion</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Twitter allows you to promote yourself, your brand or whatever you&#8217;d like to promote actually. As a network marketer you can talk about your <strong>network marketing business</strong>, or your mlm product or service, and promote events.</p>
<p><strong>Get Network Marketing Business Help</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Yup, you can simply ask a question like “how can I attract more mlm prospects to my<strong> <a title="network marketing business" href="http://www.connectednetworker.com/2009/01/04/what-a-stupid-broken-refrigerator-switch-taught-me-about-me-about-my-network-marketing-business/">network marketing business</a></strong>?”</p>
<p><strong>Connect With Other Network Marketers</strong></p>
<p>Twitter allows you to connect with other network marketers which can help you form relationships and partnerships and find potential distributors.</p>
<p><strong>Run A Contest For Your Mlm Business</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Ive seen this done very successfully. You can actually take a poll and ask questions much like you might if you had a list. Something like, “help me find the best name for my new product and I&#8217;ll give you x”.</p>
<p><strong>Take  A Poll </strong>– similar to the above. Ask a question like “What are the top mlm training tools you use”?</p>
<p>Twitter is a fantastic social media service. Learn how to use it properly and grow your mlm business!</p>

so what. what the  does this have to do with <strong>network marketing</strong>?<br />
Just go get a new switch. But just hear me out for a sec.<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p>Have you ever wished something would change but you just wouldn&#8217;t take action? Even some small tiny things? Well you&#8217;re alone here. We all do it or have done it in the past and some of us have done it in our very own <strong>network marketing</strong> enterprise.</p>
<p>And have you ever let fear get in the way of you taking action? Rhetorical question. I know we all have. Other than legitimate situations where you life is truly in danger, fear is generally made of illusory thoughts of something that hasn&#8217;t even happened. Its not reality.</p>
<p>I actually thought that I &#8220;might&#8221; have to replace the whole friggin fridge! I didn&#8217;t take the time to figure out what I needed to know because if I did well&#8230; I wouldn&#8217;t be writing this <img src='http://www.connectednetworker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>But you know what? For a while I was pissed off at the switch for being broken. I mean how do you break a fridge light switch? The fact is that I broke it somehow but I was throwing off the blame to someone or something else. Do smart and successful <strong>network marketers</strong> blame others or other things when stuff goes wrong? Nope. Successfully network marketers take 100% responsibility for their actions.</p>
<p>But,  I kept delaying getting it fixed. To the point where I actually got USED to going into the DARK in the refrigerator! Ever done this in/to your <strong>network marketing business</strong>? You KNOW you should be taking action on a daily basis, but you DON&#8217;T. Then you let stuff go and over time you actually get used to NOT TAKING ACTION which becomes your habit, or your daily plan of INACTION.</p>
<p>Let fear lead to inaction in your own network marketing business and you might as well kiss it goodbye. If you let fear cripple you and you don&#8217;t take every opportunity to increase your knowledge to overcome it and then take action, then you do yourself and your business the ultimate disservice. We as network marketers are our own boss. No one is telling us how to run our business. We can be our own best friend and/or our own worst enemy. We hold both the lock and the key to our success and our failure. In my case I let a stupid little fridge switch.</p>
<p>How do you overcome fear. You WORK THROUGH IT. It may be the toughest thing but you must do the thing you fear. If that&#8217;s picking up the phone and calling a prospect YOU DO IT. Its the only way to get through the “fear” and if you do it you&#8217;ll realize you have nothing to fear not EVEN fear itself.</p>
<p>So a fridge switch, trivial you say? Not in my book. Sometimes its the smallest things that can reward us in the biggest way. That stupid little friggin&#8217; fridge switch taught me a lot about me and my network marketing business. Now every time I open that door I see the light!</p>

There are too many definitions of what network marketing is these days.
Some folks&#8217;ll say that network marketing is all about sharing.  Some will say that network marketing is a business model that rewards you with a multi-layered form of residual compensation. Still others say (incorrectly I might add) that its an unethical pyramid scheme!
Here&#8217;s what [...]

<p>There are too many definitions of what <strong>network marketing</strong> is these days.</p>
<p>Some folks&#8217;ll say that <strong>network marketing </strong>is all about sharing.  Some will say that network marketing is a business model that rewards you with a multi-layered form of residual compensation. Still others say (incorrectly I might add) that its an unethical pyramid scheme!<span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I say: <strong>network marketing</strong> is a business that enables you to move products and services through a large network of other distributors and consumers and get paid on an ongoing basis for work you do once. The key components of leverage through others and ongoing revenue are probably two big reasons that Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki both recommend network marketing.</p>
<p>So here, IMHO are the essential elements to a <strong>network marketing</strong> business:</p>
<p>1. Marketing your business to Generate leads</p>
<p>2. Prospecting (sifting/sorting) the leads for business builders</p>
<p>3. Selling/Moving products and services to customers</p>
<p>4. Training people to train others do the same thing</p>
<p>These elements sound so simple right? But here&#8217;s the real kicker in all of this: while each of these elements of a network marketing business may seem simple, only a handful of people really understand each element and how to put them together to run a successful business like the pros. And those pros are the folks you keep hearing about jumping pin levels and seeing on stage at your convention.</p>
<p><strong>Generating leads</strong> for your business is really all about MARKETING. And marketing is all about crafting an influential and ideally ongoing communication strategy to TARGETED prospects in order to get them to take action. That action could be to download a free ebook, opt into a list, send for a dvd, fill out a survey, buy your product, or join your network marketing business or any combination. The bottom line though is if you don&#8217;t really understand marketing, you will spend a great deal of time spinning your wheels in your network marketing business.</p>
<p><strong>Prospecting your leads</strong> and sifting for the business leaders with them involves understanding what motivates people but also HOW to talk to people answering questions and dealing with objections. With network marketing, once you generate leads you WILL need to talk to them at some point and build a relationship.The nature of that relationship will determine whether they decide to join your business or buy into your service.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, they aren&#8217;t joining your business, they are joining YOU based on how much they know like and trust you and how influential they see you as a leader and how much they believe you can help them succeed in network marketing. Therefore you need to learn how to talk to people and how to influence people so they see you as solution to their problems. This in my book in part of becoming a LEADER.</p>
<p><strong>Selling products and services</strong> forms a core part of network marketing because obviously if no one buys your network marketing products or services you have no business. You need to have some knowledge and comfort level around your product/service what it does and how effective it is and why your target market needs to have it. You don&#8217;t need to know everything but you need to know enough to be able to represent the product and enough to know where to leverage your time and point people to additional information when they need more detail.</p>
<p><strong>Training others</strong> Once someone enters your business – hooray! You&#8217;ve gotten past a big hurdle. Most don&#8217;t even get THAT far. Here&#8217;s your next big challenge. You need to train your new distributor to do what you&#8217;ve just done. This is where systems can be extremely helpful. If you have a proven standardized training system then you can and should plug your new distributor right into this program.</p>
<p>Training is key because statistics show that if a new distributor isn&#8217;t making any money after 90 days they WILL drop out. Most distributors have a hard time at this point because they haven&#8217;t themselves been trained properly by their upline. You need to make sure that YOU have the proper training yourself so you can go ahead and train your own downline and they can train theirs, maximizing your network marketing business success.</p>

<p>Okay.  So you&#8217;re all excited about 	being in your new <strong>network marketing business</strong>. Congratulations! Or 	you&#8217;ve been in the network marketing business for a while. Congratulations for 	sticking with it. Here&#8217;s a question. What are you DOING or what HAVE 	you been doing to m<em>arket </em>your <strong>network marketing business</strong>? Whats the difference between 	where you are today and the top guns in the industry? One big 	difference: They know how to MARKET their business and THEMSELVES 	day in and day out.<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>Is your network marketing strategy limited 	to the old school warm market list and 	invite-a-friend-and-hope-they-show-up-to-my-opportunity-meeting 	strategy?<br />
Nothing <em>necessarily </em><span>wrong 	with that but the top networkers and waaay beyond that&#8230;. </span>Most 	people don&#8217;t have a background in marketing and aren&#8217;t told much 	about how to market either from the <strong>network marketing</strong> company or 	their upline when they join.</p>
<p>The top guns in the industry are 	savvy marketers. They understand fundamental marketing principles 	and the psychology of marketing. They&#8217;ve developed (over time) a 	skillset that allows them to use multiple marketing strategies to 	attract, communicate and influence people into their business. 	That&#8217;s why you keep hearing about them and signing up for <em>their</em> opt-in lists and seeing them on stage at trainings and you&#8217;re buying 	their products.</p>
<p>These guys and gals are all over 	the Internet, marketing themselves with video, audio, blogs, social 	networks, you name it. You&#8217;re probably following them on twitter and 	on several of their lists. When they talk you listen. When they 	recommend a product you probably buy it. By the way, they&#8217;re 	marketing themselves <em>offline</em> too.</p>
<p>Many of us just aren&#8217;t told HOW to 	market like this, not even by our uplines. Its unfortunate too, 	because they generally speaking,  these players are incredibly nice, 	but you need access to them 24/7 to really understand marketing and 	its just not realistic to get a lot of their time unless, their 	coaching you specifically. So what do you do? What we all need is 	convenient ongoing access to a system that will teach you about 	fundamental marketing principles for your<strong> network marketing 	business</strong>.</p>
<p>That system plain and simple is now here.  It&#8217;s NO-FLUFF,  petal-to-the-metal, no holds barred,  relevant information to help network marketer, online marketer, brick and mortal companies, market themselves both online and ONLINE.</p>
<p>This system makes you money while you EDUCATE OTHERS, which is one of the reasons that networks peel off like DRY PAINT in the heat of summer &#8211; their mlm vehicle simply takes too damn long for them to get any significant money.</p>
<p>This system stops that crap DEAD IN ITS TRACKS.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m gonna stop blabbering now. The system is not on trial. It works and works damn well, pardon my french.</p>
<p>You need to check it out for yourself. Check it:</p>
