Why do some people give up? – Part 2

by Tristram Lodge on Nov.24, 2009, under MLM Mindset

So in part 1 we talked about why people run out of money how something could be done to stop this from happening. As you know we have all been told that the money we make from our retail can be used to invest back into the new business venture. Well why would you want to use the money you have just worked so hard for to put back into your business.

At the end of the last post I mentioned a Funded Proposal System. Now you may be wondering what it is and how do they work. Well they are very simple. As network marketers we can offer people a solution to there problems. If you do this business the traditional way you will have made your list and gone out and pestered your family and friends and may have not gotten very far.

You run out of people to talk to about your opportunity, you spent a load of money on leads and advertising and still no much to show for it. The reason is actually very simple; by offering your opportunity you are in fact offering another problem. How do you expect someone to do a business without having a clue how to do it?  

By going in all guns blazing with your opportunity is going to be a disaster. But by offering them a solution to a problem they will see you as a leader. This is where the system comes into play.

A Funded Proposal System is a low cost front end product. It can be a book, an ebook, anything as long as it adds value to that person. By low cost I mean £15 – £30, and forget all about your main opportunity at that time.

So who do you offer this to, well other network marketers who have had the same problems as you in there business. By offering them a solution to the problems they face they will be more receptive to you. Suddenly you are someone that can help and not give like everyone else, trying to get them to join there business. I mean why would they join your business when they are having problems with there own?

Now most systems pay out a commission to there affiliates which can anything up to around 50% of the course. Now if we take 50% of £15 that’s £7.50 in your pocket just to prospect. That money can then be used to put back into your business, also you have a great lead who is already involved with network marketing, so knows the system. Also it allows you to advertise for FREE.

So the money you get from your information product pays for your advertising, which gives you endless FREE leads, which in turn gives you endless business growth. It dose not matter if that person never joins your primary business, as now you have made a new contact who you can share ideas with and network with and best of all you will meet others through that one person.

I have been using a system like this for over a year and I will not do business any other way. The system I am using is Magnetic Sponsoring and you can join today at www.MLMHintsAndTips.com

Don’t waste your time and your money talking to your family and friends. They have no interest in your business. Spend your time working with people who want to be successful. Now I’m saying that everyone you know at the moment will not be any good for your business as you may know people who are already successful but are looking for a change.

Thanks for reading

Facebook Training: Create A Top Facebook Profile in 5 Steps.

by Tristram Lodge on Nov.18, 2009, under Social Networking

Having used Facebook for a while now and made some mistakes, (account deleted!) I have found it a useful source of connections and leads. However on my travels through Facebook I have picked up a few things that may be useful to know.

The first thing people are going to see when they become friends with you is your profile page. This should be an advertisement not for your opportunity but an advertisement about you. This is the place you can sell yourself and done right you will have a ton of people following you wanting what you have to offer.

These are some of the things you can do to make your profile more appealing so you can build better relationships and a bigger list.

  1. Your profile picture, this is the top item that people will be drawn to on your page. Make sure you put a good picture of yourself on the page. Don’t put up a logo or a picture of Mickey Mouse! If I wanted to do business with him I’ll go to Disneyland. Let’s see what you look like and who you are. A picture of you will help when others are looking to connect as on Facebook nobody can see your profile until you confirm them as a friend.
  2. Your information section should be filled out. This might sound a bit obvious but so many people get this wrong. Put up as much info about yourself as you can, let people know what sports you like to do, your hobbies, films, books and shows you like to watch. This gives others something to connect to when you start building a relationship. I have people who have not asked me about MLM but about something I have out on my profile. They have gone onto my site and signed for more training without me doing anything. Whatever you do don’t put up your corporate company website for your primary business or go on about how much you love to help people. Also stay away from putting anything up about MLM, network marketing etc. People want to know about you not that you are an internet marketer. Do put up your blog, lead generation website and maybe your Twitter page and that’s all you need.
  3. Added other pictures of yourself, family, friends and if you have met any of the leaders in the industry even better. That will give you creditability as a network marketer. Pictures make a great talking point and people can see what you are like outside of MLM.
  4. Add a welcome video and birthday video. These are great way of introducing yourself when you make new friends. It’s just something else you can do instead of just writing on their wall. Not many people do this at the moment. Most just write a message on your wall so this will get you to really stand out from the crowd.
  5. Your status update should be update at least once a day. I have found adding  motivational quotes from people is a great way to get noticed. Also ask a question is another way to interact with your friends.  Don’t add links to your opportunity, find a group that will allow you to do that. I have seen profiles where they are just covered with links to opportunity websites.

Your profile is an extension of yourself so make it about yourself. It can be used to generate leads and build a business so use it to add value to others. If you come across with great quality content and information that’s useful you will build great relationships and friends on this site.
