www.daveanddawncook.com Can you build a HUGE network marketing organization only using online methods and strategies like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and etc? NO! I see and hear it all over the place. Old School Marketing Methods Dont Work Anymore! Waa, Waa, Waa. Actually, I bought into these beliefs myself awhile back. It is true that nobody really wants to make a list of their Friends and Family but that doesnt mean it doesnt work. The truth is, it works and people are still making a ton of money using these methods. As a matter of fact, Ill bet you as a percentage, people are still making larger sums of money using Old School methods vs. marketing online. Let me explain. Visit our blog at http

Prior to becoming involved in network marketing, I was a member of the U.S. Navy’s Underwater Explosive Ordinance Disposal Team (the Navy’s bomb squad). I learned many great lessons there that helped me with my MLM business years later, one of which was overcoming fear.

In the Navy, what allowed people to overcome their fear of defusing bombs under water was simple: drill, drill, drill – and when you’re sick of drilling, drill some more. Overcoming fear did not mean read, read and when you’re sick of reading, read some more; that doesn’t make someone skilled at defusing bombs. By the way, drill means repetitiously going over something to learn it well.

It’s the same with getting appointments so you can share either the MLM business opportunity or your products with someone. Not that reading and learning the way bombs go “boom” and phones go “ring-ring” isn’t important, it is. Reading or studying is only one part of knowing something and getting effective at it.

Here’s why some distributors in your MLM organization quit. Just think what would have happened if the bomb squad trainers told the bomb squad to go home and read about the most common ways a bomb blows up, and then sent them out by themselves to defuse a bomb.

Yet that’s what network marketing leaders are often guilty of – asking their new distributors to go home and make their list of prospects. They’re given a sheet (sometimes) of objections they “might” encounter, and then are told to call their prospects and invite them to take a look at a great MLM business…BOOM! Ever wonder why that new distributor in your network marketing organization disappears within 30 days?

What worked best for me was to start with a script. Very often I’ve heard people say they don’t/can’t use scripts. That’s fine. Write down what you plan to say anyway, because you need to get comfortable with making your call. You’ll need to repeat it several times. It’s very helpful to “invite yourself” into a tape recorder microphone. Listen to the tape and ask yourself “Would I accept that invitation?”

One of my scripts went something like this:

You: “Hi, John, this is Sue. Do you have a minute or did I catch you at a bad time?”

Prospect: “No, I have a minute. What’s up?”

You: “Great, are you open to a business outside of_______(what they currently do for a living)?”

Now, here are some likely responses you’ll hear. These are the common objections and questions that you can almost always expect to get from your MLM prospects:

What is it?
Is this a pyramid?
Is it Network Marketing or multi-level marketing?
Is this sales?
What would I be doing?
I’m too busy, I don’t have time.
What is the investment?

Here are the steps to take so you don’t get caught off guard by your prospect’s objections to your network marketing business:
Step 1) Drill
Step 2) Drill
Step 3) Drill

These are the questions and objections! You know what they are! Drilling these beforehand is like knowing what’s going to be on the test!

This is how I finish the invitation:
You” (This was already stated, but I put it here again so you get the whole sequence.) “Great, are you open to a business outside of ________ (what they currently do for a living)?”

The most common response is:

Prospect: “What is it?” This is exactly what you want them to ask.

You: “Do you have Internet access?” (If not, send them the Brilliant Compensation video.)

Prospect: “Yes”

You: “Do you have something to write with?”

Prospect: “Yes”

You: Give the web address of your Brilliant Compensation website and say, “This is a purely educational online movie that explains our marketing strategy – watch this and then we can have an intelligent conversation about the target market, product lines and things like that. Read me back the address.” (make sure it’s correct) Confirm when they will have the time to review the information. Set when you will talk again. Hang up the phone.

Now, that script is one I’ve used successfully for years. The reason it works is because it was designed to PREVENT the objections mentioned above. It took me a long time to develop that script. In the example below there are several phrases I identified that actually CREATED common objections to my network marketing business invitation.

Avoid These Phrases and Instead Use…
(Phrase to avoid listed first, then recommended phrase listed second.)

I recently became involved
I’m working on a project…

I’d like to get you involved
I’m looking for the right person that…

I want you to…
You might want to…

I think you would love this
It may or may not be for you…

You would be good at this
This might be lucrative for us…

New business opportunity
Business idea or project

Are you interested?
You might want to see this

Are you looking for a business opportunity?
Do you keep your eyes open for expansion/diversification?

The point is, to overcome any type of fear, you must have both knowledge and practice. Therefore you must get with your network marketing organization and practice what to say to prospects and drill how to handle questions and objections. This is the best kind of MLM training I know. I’ve not seen or heard of a better way of overcoming telephone fears, training your distributors on what to say and how to have a lot of guests at your MLM business meetings than TEAM CALLING.

I put together a program called Assault Team Training – an event to teach people how to get past the fear of the phone, as well as talking to strangers (in person).

Eight distributors were invited to my house (because I had four phone lines and wanted two people per phone). To attend, each distributor had to bring 250 names with phone numbers.

Everyone spent the first hour around a table writing a script of what they would say on the telephone to invite contacts to an MLM business briefing we scheduled three days later. Then each person read their script back to the group and the group critiqued the script with one major emphasis: prevent the objection. We all agreed that in the invitation call, it’s much easier to prevent objections than to have to handle them. (See example of what to say/what not to say above.)

Here’s the best way to overcome the most common MLM objections. With good communication skills and using the phrases from the example above, we still got “Is this one of those pyramids!?” objection 50 % of the time.

It was this objection that constantly stopped or severely slowed down my organization’s growth.

After everyone writes an MLM invitation script, the next step is to role play. At the Team Calling event, divide people into pairs and have them role-play with each other. Person A reads the script. Person B asks the most common questions or objections. Start slow and easy and get tougher as your partner gets better. It’s very important that your partner feel successful. Compliment his/her efforts ALL THE TIME. Then switch: Person B invites and Person A asks the questions.

Because during the role playing, one person is constantly reading the MLM invite script – this serves as a drilling of the invitation. Once you as the leader are satisfied that everyone attending team calling is able to handle the above objections, then hit the phones.

Two people on each phone line. One is prospecting – the other coaching. After 15 minutes, switch. The person that was coaching switches to prospecting. The one that was prospecting is now the coach. Do this for one uninterrupted hour.

The rules are: No getting up. No bathroom, no food, no water, no answering cell phones. Nothing! It’s so important to play by the rules. We all know the feeling of searching for any excuse not to dial the phone. Believe me, this is fear-facing at its best, but also one of the best forms of MLM training I know of.

By the way, people who show up late are not allowed in “the pit” until after the hour is up. I can’t stress enough the importance of this SOLID HOUR of no interruptions.

Use Monday – it’s the start of the week and the best day to invite to your weekly MLM business briefing without a weekend interfering. Charge $5.00 per person to cover the cost of the phone calls.

Your job as the leader is to help keep the calls under three minutes and to ensure that the person making the call wants to continue making calls. As a coach, resist the urge to correct “everything” you see a new person doing wrong. You don’t want to unintentionally invalidate the person or make him/her feel that they’re messing everything up. It’s much better for the coach to consider the whole exercise as a gradual learning process. For some people, it can be a huge success just to dial 10 numbers in an hour.

I suggest that you teach everyone how to keep accurate records. It’s very important for everyone to keep statistics while doing team calling. You want to keep track of Dials, Connects and Appointments. Set a goal for each, and then keep track of the activity.

This is the basis for coaching and measuring progress and is the backbone of successful mlm training. If anyone complains about their results, you can go straight to the Daily Marketing Worksheet and tell exactly where someone needs help. Maybe they need help with their actual phone skills, or maybe they’re just not dialing enough numbers!

What Results Can You Expect? After two one-hour sessions in which everyone kept their statistics, the least number of confirmed appointments we’ve seen was eight. The most was 64. That’s right!

The most impressive are those eight. What this represents is the minimum result of eight confirmed guests! What this means for you is that if someone spent two hours per week inviting through team calling, they would have a minimum of eight confirmed appointments at the weekly mlm business meeting.

The next time you or your distributors come to a business meeting without a guest, ask yourself and them, “How much actual time did you spend making calls?”

Making mlm prospecting phone calls isn’t as hazardous as bomb squad work, but it really can be just as scary. But the way to handle any fear is learn how to do it and do it over and over. Confront what you fear most enough times and you won’t fear it anymore.

To start an mlm business, you need to have a business plan that works, and then follow it to a tee. There are 6 steps to a successful business plan for an MLM business. Read on to find out what they are.

1. Decide on your product, and find your market.

The two are closely related. You may already be using an MLM product that you are excited about. Great, then locate the strongest benefit of your product, and find out who will be looking for those benefits. For example, if you are using a health and wellness product, your market will be people who are likely to have health challenges. If you have not made a product choice yet, do some market research. Look for strong, emergent trends in people’s needs, and for products that can meet these needs. To stay with our example, the large population of aging “baby boomers” represents a strong trend, and they are likely customer for health and wellness products. The best approach is to look for trends that are affecting you, so you can relate to your customers.

2. Decide what mlm company is going to supply your products.

There are several points you want to consider. First, the company needs to offer a valuable product or service that people would want to purchase for the sake of the benefits alone, even if there was no business opportunity attached. If the only way your customer gain a benefit is by selling the business opportunity, run.

Second, your company should have been successful in business for at least 10 years, and be growing steadily. Startups in this industry come and go very quickly. You will be investing a lot of time and money into your business, and you will be in it for the long haul. Third, your company’s compensation plan must allow you to sell your products with a profit. This brings us to the next step.

3. Determine if you can become profitable quickly.

Look at your company’s compensation plan and find out how much profit per customer per month you can make by selling the product. In most cases, your best bet is to sell your product to retail customers on an auto ship, because you will receive the largest commission from these sales. The longer you can keep your customers, the higher you overall return, and the more you can spend on marketing and advertising.

4. Allocate resources to marketing.

This may come as a surprise to you, but it is mandatory that you allocate some resources to learning how to market. The training that your company is offering is aimed at getting hold of your “warm market”, your circle of family and friends. This will work well for your company which has already thousands of distributors, but it is not a viable option for you. You need to learn how to gain access to large numbers of prospective customers.

5. Gather testimonials, build you personal story and craft a compelling message to your market.

Testimonials and your personal story are powerful ways to communicate with your potential customers. Gathering these testimonials does not cost you any money, and not much time. Listen to other distributors in you company, ask them for testimonials from their customers. Stay on top of company news on the benefits of your product. As you are collecting these items, begin to write a message to your potential clients, that delivers a compelling benefit statement. As you are engaging in this first step of building your marketing campaign, you will also build confidence and leadership. These are the qualities that will make your customers want to buy from you.

6. Learn telephone skills to talk to prospective customers

The telephone is one of the least expensive and most effective ways to contact large numbers of people. Although the internet has become a major source of information, the phone still gives you a great way of making personal contact. MLM is a people business, and your customers are looking for that personal touch and leadership that you can convey over the phone. The phone continues to be the secret weapon of most successful MLM leaders. And, contrary to what is often heard, it is not difficult to master.

Putting it all together.

As you can see, starting an MLM business is about treating it as a business from day one. And that means to plan for coming into profit quickly, and to allocate resources for marketing.

To be success in your MLM career, it is not easy but it is not difficult as well. It depends to a great extent on your sponsor and the quality of leaders in your MLM organization. Opt-in MLM leads are one of the best ways to attract new customers or sign up new members in your multi-level marketing plan. It is a product you can market with confidence, you’ve looked at the main website, it has extensive marketing plans and support to help you start the process of becoming a successful Internet Marketer.

In these times it boils down to how much do you want to exit the rat race to take back your life and what’s that worth to you? Answer that to determine your budget and don’t spend a lot of it on network marketing and training because you don’t need too. If you’re not currently having MLM success, it’s likely because you aren’t applying the same principles that Oprah and all other billionaires and millionaires apply to achieve their success. If you are not experiencing the kind of financial success you desire, perhaps all you need is a little MLM success training from a mentor or by learning and practicing the principles in Think and Grow Rich.

Network Marketing success requires that you deploy a balance of properly designed automation, and training on how to develop a personal relationship with the prospect. In order for the prospecting process to be effective, you really must build a relationship with your prospect before you introduce your company. There are tools ready and able to help you process mlm lead and mailing lists online today.

If you are very consistent with your MLM or Network Marketing opportunity for a couple of years, the momentum picks up and you may see big earnings. In most MLM’s, you are required to build what’s called a “downline”, or rather promote the company and have people sign up under you.

On the other hand, for the new mlm people, whenever you are thinking about joining a new MLM program, you should always make sure that the upline you choose for sponsorship has a good support services. At the same time you should think about from the first day you join an MLM program is what kind of support services you will eventually offer to your downline.

You have decided that you want to start a successful online mlm business, but you really don’t know what to do to avoid mistakes. In anything you want to do, it’s always helpful to look for a model first. Find someone who has accomplished what you want, and take a close look at exactly what they did and how they did it. You don’t need to duplicate every step of their plan, but when you understand the parts of that model, you can save yourself a lot of trial and error. You have put yourself in a much closer position to success. All that means is, “Don’t re-invent the wheel.”

One much-copied model that has risen to the top over the years is the single product page.

The normal inclination of most people in network marketing when they sell products is to offer a choice of several or many products on the same page. On most network marketing company websites, you’ll find a virtual catalog of dozens or hundreds of products. A catalog like that works when someone goes to the catalog to find a particular product to buy. But in the case of MLM, you rarely have buyers like that. Mostly, they are just looking. And they’re overwhelmed by all the choices, so they click away.

The correct solution is, follow the “single page” model. Set up one product on a url, and send targeted traffic to that page. That model works. If you’re working with a company that doesn’t do this, it’s best to beat the bushes to find one that does.

It’s the little things that really decide whether you have a chance for long-term success with any particular mlm company.

This sounds pretty wild but, trust me, it is true. One decisive factor can be whether your company owns its own software. What possible difference can THAT make, you wonder? Well, here’s how it works. Most companies when they start up are looking for ways to cut costs. One way to keep costs down is to rent the software to run the company. So instead of paying $1 million or more upfront, maybe they’re spending $10,000 a month on the software rental. So far, so good. But there are a couple problems that can come up. For one thing, every compensation plan is different. They often find out too late that you can’t change the software to handle compensation plan changes. So if the company finds a great new gizmo to add, it can’t … because it’s locked-in by the software. Even worse, many contracts designate that the software vendor is a co-owner of the database. The result is, if your company has tough times & can’t make a payment, the software vendor can rent out the database if they want … that includes all the names of the group you have built. Incredible, but it has happened. You’re much safer with a company who owns their software.

Don’t you love it when you go out looking to buy a car and a salesman is on you like glue? He may talk a lot, he may not talk much, but his job is to sell you a car. Period. How does that feel? That’s a point that Michael Dlouhy makes in his “Success In 10 Steps” ebook. People see MLM as a sales business, and it isn’t. It is is a relationship-You need ways to build know, like, & trust with people because that is what will cause them to join you in business. You need ways to build know, like, & trust with people because that is what will cause them to join you.

If I’d spoken of MLM prospecting and finding MLM prospects being a ‘profit centre’ rather than a ‘cost centre’ in the old days, the men in white coats would have taken me away. In those days, prospecting was such hard work that many people wouldn’t have done it even if you had paid them.

In those days ‘Funded Proposal’ meant getting engaged to someone with a good job. You probably remember being told about time ‘leverage’. I do. Ceratinly, if our prospects subsequently bloomed into enthusiatic and successful downline members then, sure, we would achieve the ‘dream’ of time leverage. Shame it was so tough for any but the super-charismatic few to hang around long enough to reap the rewards.

The problem was back then that the process of prospecting was so completely ‘unleveraged’ that it usually sucked the lifeblood out of distributors before they even experienced the magic of duplication. And it wasn’t just the time it took to find decent MLM prospects. MLM prospecting was very tough emotionally. Not many of us like to face rejection from family and friends on a constant basis.

Even though there were huge success stories in my own organisation, to me it felt like very hard work for not much return. The real problem of course is back then we were always in the role of ’salesperson’. The prospect had neither sought us nor our opportunity, so we were always in a slightly weakened position. The problem seemed overwhelming. How could you build a residual income though prospecting when the very act of finding serious prospects was draining your bank account?

Enter the ‘Funded Proposal’ method of prospecting and a wholly different way of attracting real prospects. In the old days, you remember, it was all about us chasing them and gleefully showing people how they could get rid of their J.O.B. and walk the beaches with us. I used to wonder why people ran the other way. Nowadays the biggest hitters are the ones who attract MLM prospects to them.

The most effective way to do that is to offer a free report or mini-series of genuine value, that people will happily give their e-mail addresses for in exchange. They are then followed up automatically by autorepsonder, and offered a quality e-book for a small fee that will give them practical help. Now your MLM prospecting has attracted a qualified lead whom you can send quality content and promotional offers to until the end of time.

The key thing is that this prospect will be a fruitful contact for you even if they never join your primary opportunity. You do of course offer it to them, but roughly 95% will not want that – at least not now. In the old days, a ‘no’ prospect didn’t enter any sort of MLM ‘marketing funnel’, more likely they entered a ‘derision funnel’ – an increasingly large group of people asking you if you’d made a million yet.

Learning to use the ‘Funded Proposal’ system will be pure prospecting ‘gold’ for you, and it’s a hundred times easier to master than sidling up to people in the grocery queue and handing out flyers.

A Funded Proposal system, properly crafted, will pay you more as you prospect more, the opposite from days gone by. MLM prospects will join you and your helpful content, and that relationship will be far more important than sponsoring a tyre-kicker into your primary opportunity only to give you the old ‘we’ve been thinking about it’ routine…………

While I have a rich past in the mlm industry, there are three reasons why I chose top tier direct sales as my next challenge. First, I can be paid direct for most sales in the better top tier companies. Second, the small profit margins on mlm products require large amounts of traffic and big organizations to be profit sustaining. And third, the relationship requirement for downline growth is overwhelming when growing large organizations. Check it out…
