Big MLM Tip of the Day: Overcoming Objections: "I've tried one of those before"

You will likely hear this one a lot. Many people have tried and failed. 


You may have tried network marketing before yourself. I had tried, without luck, several times. The company makes a huge difference, but there are many good ones out there. 


The real difference is the training system. 


Each MLM company has their own, and there are others that are more generic and not company specific. If your prospects tell you they have tried MLM, regardless of their experience, they are a good quality lead. All they really need is some good training and mentoring. 


They are already familiar with the concept, and are at least willing to try, so 1/2 of the work is already done for you. Get them plugged into a training system. If you want a Proven Duplicatable System you can share with your team, check the Mentoring Resources tab above.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Overcoming Objections: "Those things don't work"

I cannot count how many times I have heard this statement over the years. 

I first started in network marketing over 15 years ago, and after failing, I still had a feeling that it could work. I just assumed that I was not right for this business. Boy was I wrong!

A good response to this objection would be something like, "You are right. They do not work without the right coaching and mentoring. Since few people offer such assistance, I can see where you would think that". 

At that point, you need to make sure they understand that you are there to help them every step of the way and that you will get them the training they need. Most people just want to know that you will help them. 

Just be sure you do not have any other agenda. If you are focused on how you can make money by sponsoring them you are setting yourself up for failure.

Offer your help with no strings attached and the income will follow as a byproduct.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: How NOT to Use Facebook

There are a lot of people out there going about marketing on Facebook all wrong. 

They will go to great lengths in filling out their profile, and not put any contact email there. If you are marketing, wouldn't you want people to be able to contact you? 

Others never put anything on their profile except for a link to whatever they are promoting. This looks unprofessional and nobody is going to click that link. 

The most common mistake though is flooding Facebook with your links in as many places as possible. You especially should not post promotional links on someone else wall or in a direct message at first contact. 

Remember, it is called "Social" Media for a reason.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: Be a Leader

There are two types of people in this world: Leaders and Followers. 

The good news is you can always change your category. 

There is nothing extra special about a leader. They simply had the right training and took advantage of the opportunities that were presented to them. Few people are leaders by nature. They had to work at it.

So, if all you need is training and the willingness to seize opportunity, what is stopping you? 

Network marketing is all about building leaders. If you have the willingness, you could try starting on the Mentoring Resources page. There are several places listed there to get tons of free training.

Big MLM Tip of the Day: MLM is NOT a Sales Business

Fact: Almost all sales jobs have a 60 to 80% attrition rate, before a single sale has bee made. Why would you follow such a failed model? 

MLM is a people business, or more accurately, a mentoring and coaching business. 

If you are trying to sell people, you are setting yourself up for failure. If you focus on building relationships, your business will grow as a byproduct. 

Just know, many of the people you get to know may not join your business, and that's okay. Be just as helpful to those people as you are to the people who join your business. 

Your first duty is that of a coach and mentor.For more training on how to be a better mentor, visit the Mentoring Resources page.
