My first day in MLM Training!
I was excited and nervous because I had just completed my first “NDO” or New Distributor Orientation with my Taiwanese Millionaire upline. She joined Amway over 10 years ago, became a Diamond in Amway, but later quit and switched to Nuskin. He became a Team Elite million dollar earner in Nuskin and now I believe he has earned over 10 million US dollars in MLM.
My upline said, “This business is very simple. All you need is these 4 pieces of paper!”
“Hmm!” He was a little skeptical, but he had to believe him because he is successful.
So he took some sheets of paper out of his pocket and began to write on the board.
1) 2 important concepts:
i) Long-term thinking
ii) 100% Duplicate
“Ok! The first important concept in our training today is LONG-TERM THINKING!”
He then went on to explain why MLM or Network Marketing is a long-term business just like any other traditional business, minus the traditional business problems like employee problems, logistics problems, management problems, etc.! which are all handled by the MLM or Network Marketing company.
All you need to worry about is “Building your network of distributors around the world”.
“Give yourself the next 1-2 years to build a strong network of distributors around the world and you will become the owner of a multinational network that brings you solid income every month, even if you are sleeping in Singapore and others are still awake. . in Japan.”
That sounds really exciting to me!
For the next 1 or 2 years, all my friends would still be eating textbooks for breakfast in college while I was building my way to early retirement.
So I did exactly that, I said to myself, “For the next 1-2 years, I’m going to give 110% to my network marketing business!”
2 years later, in 2003, my network grew from Singapore to Malaysia, China, Indonesia and had clients from as far away as Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong!
So that’s exactly what YOU MUST DO too, commit to giving yourself at least 1-2 years to build your business!
Have “LONG-TERM THINKING!” And treat your network marketing business like a real business!
Important concept number two, “100% Duplication”.
“Duplication is the key to success in network marketing, however, to cite this example!
1×1=1
0.9 x 0.9 = 0.81
0.8 x 0.8 = 0.64
0.7 x 0.7 = 0.49
0.6×0.6 = 0.36
0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
and so!
If we’re going to put that into percentages like 100%, 90%, 80%, etc! it simply means that the less you duplicate the successful system your upline taught you, the lower your chances of success!
Well, that seems pretty logical up to a point.
McDonald’s uses franchising to expand its business around the world, and if you notice, McDonald’s will always keep its capital “M” branding and “yellow and red” colors in its fast food restaurants from the US to China and even Russia.
The system is 100% duplicated worldwide.
Once you understand this concept, you will realize that you must trust your successful upline and use the system they are using to achieve success.
“Don’t reinvent the wheel unless it’s to make it more efficient!”
Every network marketing business or organization should have an efficient and effective duplication system that everyone in the organization can easily copy to achieve their own level of success in the business.
“Ok, follow my successful mentor and I won’t go wrong! I get the message.”
“You?”
Then my millionaire upline wrote on the board:
2) Why 100% Duplicate?
i) To avoid unnecessary errors
ii) Have a stable network
3) How do you double 100%?
i) There are 3 steps you need to follow,
To learn; Do; teaching
ii) There are 3 elements of the Support System that will also help you,
Successful leaders; Events; Instruments
“Your goal in this business is to be a good student first, then to become a good teacher, and finally to become a great leader!”
“First you must be willing to leave behind all the baggage from your previous job or business and have a BACK TO ZERO mentality, so you can start off on the right foot and we can guide you on the right path to success.”
“After that, once you’ve reached a certain level of success in the business, your role changes to teaching, guiding and leading your team to success.”
So, the 3 steps to success in your MLM business is to first be able to go back to square one and start learning the ropes, then lead by example and take action to achieve success, before finally teaching others to do the same. same.
While you play a vital role in your own business, your business or organization needs to have an adequate support system that provides you with a number of successful upline or secondary leaders who already are.
These leaders act as mentors to keep you on the right track and guide you in the right direction. They are very accessible, willing to help you learn and overcome the difficulties you will encounter along the way.
There should be regular events at the company or organization level covering training sessions, motivational meetings, experience sharing and company meetings ranging from small team meetings to large hotel meetings.
The bottom line is that network marketing or MLM is still a people business and people since the beginning of time need to meet regularly.
“Like a lump of coal burning red hot in a blazing campfire, if you take out that lone lump of coal and move it away from the bonfire, what happens to that lone lump of coal?”
“It starts to cool down!”
“What if you put it back in the bonfire?”
“It heats up again and helps keep the bonfire burning brighter than before!”
This is the rule of survival in MLM or Network Marketing.
“Meetings and events are where people recharge. Small meetings create small decisions. Big meetings create BIG DECISIONS.”
Finally, any solid network marketing or MLM company should have powerful marketing tools that help the distributor easily share the company’s message with anyone they can come into contact with.
“You can’t win a battle without guns and bullets!”
Likewise, you can’t win at network marketing without the right tools.
Tools refer to things like a company magazine that explains everything about the company, the products, the payment plan and the system in a clear and simple way to the person you are passing the magazine to.
Tools refer to things like an audio CD that anyone can play in their car or listen to at home with a CD/MP3 audio platform and have one of your top successful leaders present the business opportunity to them while you wait to make a follow-up call. the next day.
Tools refer to things like a video DVD that anyone can play on their home DVD player or laptop/desktop and again have a senior leader present the business opportunity to them professionally.
Tools refer to things like a website that combines the content of the magazine, audio CD, video DVD, and your personal contact information into an ALL-IN-ONE online information resource that operates 24 hours a day. , 7 days a week, never sleeps and does all the work. presenting for you while you sleep at home!
All of these tools and more I can go on listing will drastically simplify, automate and duplicate our efforts a thousand times more than you can do alone.
Your role in the business is simply to TAKE ADVANTAGE of the tools and “PASS THE INFORMATION” to as many people as possible every day.
“Can you learn how to transfer a CD or DVD to a potential dealer or customer?”
“Can you learn how to pass a magazine to a potential dealer or customer?”
“Can you learn how to give someone your ID card with your website address on it?”
“Heck, nowadays with email and text messages on your mobile phone, all you have to do to start the business is send an email or text your website address to everyone. in your contact list and invite them to visit your website and your new business.”
“That’s what I call simple duplication!”
Stitch Number 4!.
4) 8 Daily Habits
1. Show the Plan
2. Share the Products
3. Listen to a training audio
4. Read a recommended book
5. Report your progress to your upline
6. Invite a guest to a weekly event
7. Use the products yourself
8. Add a new name to your list
Now, as in Stephen R. Covey’s best-selling book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” if you want to succeed in network marketing quickly, you need to change your daily habits to become highly effective and efficient.
A successful network marketer must not only constantly expand their social network, but must spend a lot of time on personal development and growth.
1. Show the Plan:
Show someone a Video DVD or magazine and explain that you are looking for business partners and that the DVD or magazine explains your business proposition in detail.
2. Share the Products:
Show them a sample of your products and explain the unique value and benefits it brings to the consumer.
3. Listen to a training audio:
Listen to training audios to update your knowledge about the company, the products, the payment plan and the duplication system.
4. Read a recommended book:
Read books that will enhance your personal knowledge and help you grow as a leader.
5. Report your progress to your upline:
Call your upline every day to update your progress. If I’m your upline and I don’t hear from you in a week, I know you haven’t taken action. On the other hand, if you tell me how many people you’ve called every day, I know you’re making progress or doing something wrong that needs to be corrected.
6. Invite a guest to a weekly event:
If you have local events and presentations, be sure to take advantage of them by inviting your prospects to attend these events. Third party testimonials and justification are always better than yours.
7. Use the products yourself:
Network marketing is like sharing a good movie you saw with a friend and telling them they should watch it too. So if you don’t use the products yourself, how can you possibly share your experience or insights with someone else?
8. Add a new name to your list:
If you depend on your family and relatives to be successful in network marketing! good luck for you. Although I have seen network marketers who have fantastic family members supporting them, personally that hasn’t happened to me! My experience is that most of my best team members are people outside of my family circle. So learn to make new friends every day and find like-minded people to join your business and your team.
So there you have it, the 8 daily habits you must adopt to achieve success FAST in your MLM or network marketing home based business.
So think about it, “What do you really want? I mean, what do you really, REALLY WANT?”
If you really want greater wealth, better health, and more freedom, “JUST DO IT!”
Actions speak louder than words!
