The conference call room was packed. Entrepreneurs from our company wanted to know how I managed to enroll ten new wealthbuilders in our amazing Web 2.0 business network over the past three days.
Like all of them, I was using the very same system for generating a firestorm of leads. Like all of them, that system was allowing me to get my message in front of 20,000 entrepreneurs every three days. Like all of them, I was using a simple, no-hype presentation tool to explain my business to folks, and was tapped into all the social networks, blog spaces, and chat communities.
SO WHY IS IT THAT I ENROLLED TEN PEOPLE -- NONE OF WHOM I'D WORKED WITH PREVIOUSLY -- WHILE THEY BECAME FRUSTRATED AT THEIR UPLINE LEADERS?!?
It's no secret, really... in fact, it's part of the reason I was able to take a team of eight serious entrepreneurs with one of our previous companies, and help each of them start enrolling an average of 120 people each week. It's the "secret" behind my being able to take an even smaller team of entrepreneurs, and grow my downline into a team of 358,000+ men and women in more than 49 countries, in just 18 months. And it's how we're going to enroll one million people in the present global opportunity -- the only opportunity with which I am working -- in the next 12 months!
THE PROBLEM
Now I don't know a whole lot about cars or mechanics. I was too busy with my nose buried in a book, or sitting in a Buddhist meditation group while my friends were helping their dads work on their cars. But I do know from experience that you cannot ever take a car from first gear, and throw it into fourth gear, and expect the car to shift smoothly and run properly... and if you do that often enough, you'll destroy the transmission altogether.
THAT'S WHAT MOST NETWORK MARKETERS TRY TO DO WITH THEIR BUSINESSES!
They try to shift from first gear into fifth with their prospect... and it's not really their fault either -- they were told to do so by their upline sponsors!
Right now, if you look at most of the top players in almost every network marketing company you can find -- companies like Agel Enterprises, Max International, MonaVie, Herbalife, ForMor, NuSkin, Quixtar, 4Life, Nutronix, Xango and really any other company like them, you will find a group of people who bask in the title of "heavy hitter". Like proud peacocks, these folks show up on stage at the meetings, conventions and on conference calls... they receive all the big money awards... they receive the accolades... they tell everyone how they're making $20, $30, $60, $100,000/month or more... and then spoon-feed the "and you can too!" hype to their starving downlines.
BUT THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT THEY ACHIEVED THE TOP POSITIONS IN THEIR COMPANIES BY BRINGING THEIR DOWNLINES WITH THEM FROM ONE, TWO, MAYBE AS MANY AS FIVE PREVIOUS MLM PROGRAMS THEY USED TO BE PART OF!
These so-called "hitters" have no idea how to really build a successful business in the 21st century, Web 2.0 environment! They don't realise that the industry has changed dramatically, because consumers are MORE EDUCATED than before, and won't allow themselves to be DUPED into forking over $200, $300, $700 $1100 or more for an initial "business start-up", and are even less interested in the SENSELESS requirement of having to buy $150, $200, $320 or MORE each month in even MORE of that company's overpriced nutritional products, personal care, diet, household or electronic products.
And the few who DO realise that, are working HARD to prevent their downlines from realising that their present company is NO DIFFERENT!
BACK TO THE CAR ANALOGY
If a stranger walked up to you today and asked you to give him $250 to start your own business, would you take out your wallet... or run?
When you ask a complete stranger on the Internet to take out their wallets and invest $200 to $800 in some overpriced nutritional, personal care, household or electronic products, with the absurd claim that they are going to get rich for doing so, you are NO DIFFERENT than the guy on the street!
And that approach is no different than trying to get your car from first gear into fifth.
ALRIGHT... ALRIGHT... SO HOW DID I GET THOSE TEN ENROLLMENTS IN THREE DAYS?
I understood that no one with any common sense will ever get into business with a complete stranger. They will always do their due diligence, get to know the person, find out what they are all about. And Network Marketing is no different. People are finally mature and sophisticated enough not to jump on board with these ridiculous get-rich-quick schemes. They are starting to catch on that when their upline is always boasting about how well he or she is doing, but consistently fails to pay the folks they're obligated to pay for work they're doing -- those people are probably lying about their incomes!
I also understood that in my 27 years in the business, having personally sponsored 4,300+ people into the four companies with which I worked, I never once attempted to move my distributors from one company to the next. It's unprofessional and unnecessary. Of course, some of my team members did choose to join me in my other ventures. Some built quite a nice portfolio in the process, and at least two of them are earning close to a million dollars a year right now from those businesses. Of all of the 4,300 people I enrolled, I focused on building rapport and relationships with those folks long before I ever asked them to join me -- and more than half of them were folks I never asked to join me at all -- they asked ME to let them join!
Even now, this training message will result in serious entrepreneurs finally "getting it" and realising that they have been getting "duped" by their uplines and companies, and those folks will come to me and ask ME how to get started with us. (And I will show each of them how to stop spending so much money each month, and with less than $25/week, earn a minimum of $4100 in the next four to six weeks... no hype... no gimmicks... and end up BETTER PEOPLE because of it!)
MY SECRET WEAPON
The only reason I hadn't shared my "secret weapon" with more folks sooner, was that I am always reluctant to share "prelaunch" technology with folks, because I know that prelaunch is where the "bugs" get worked out. So I waited until now, when the company has finally begun to go "fully operational", and when I could realistically share the kind of results I have been getting with this tool.
Imagine this...
We all know that savvy entrepreneurs have begun to realise the awesome potential of social networking, video and Web 3.0 communications tools, as a new media approach to wealthbuilding. Go to FaceBook, MySpace and LinkedIn, and you will find tens of thousands of folks floundering, trying to post ads, invite friends, and all of that sort of thing, as a means of growing a business.
They're warm... but missing the target!
There is finally a social networking approach that allows folks like me and you to join a social network that was designed with entrepreneurs, network marketers, small business owners and artisans in mind. It has all of the cool and fun features of other social networks, and enables you to create and interact with friends lists from around the world QUICKLY and EASILY.
Every month MySpace, FaceBook and other social networking platforms make millions of dollars in advertising revenue from the little ads that show up on your profile and homepages. Have they ever offered to pay you for that? Probably not.
But there is a social network that takes a more grassroots approach, and actually offers revenue sharing for the folks who sign up as free members of their social network. As you refer other friends and entrepreneurs to join your social network, your revenue sharing increases. Think of it as a little extra spending money for building your business, spending a weekend away with a loved one, or just socking some cash aside for that new car or vacation.
BUT THIS IS THE REASON I LOVE THIS CONCEPT
Day after day, I add new people to this special social network... people who share my interest in creating a better life for themselves and others... people who desperately want to believe their present network marketing companies will be the answer for them... people who are genuinely thrilled with the products their companies sell, and willing to pay two to three times more than they could be purchased elsewhere, because they work!
And because my primary business opportunity is one which focuses on helping people transform their lives and increase their income -- no matter what it is they do for a living -- I don't try to persuade them to quit their companies. In fact, every day, I spend about 2-3 hours helping people from other network marketing companies to achieve success.
Recently, I was contracted to provide training and support for one of the top teams with another of those binary-program, nutrition deals. The company has incredible products, that definitely make a difference in people's health. And the leadership of this team are people I genuinely like and care about, so I agreed to help out. Even after they were no longer able to afford to keep paying for my services, I continued to help their team to get all of the pieces of the puzzle clearly into focus. I spent an hour on the phone with two of their members today, helping them learn how to use the conferencing software we put into place for their presentations... so it isn't always about money. Those guys still owe me an entire week's consulting fees, but at the end of the day, they have families to feed, mortgages to pay, and when they're trying to sell a deal that just doesn't make good sense, I can't help but feel compassion for their situations.
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN...
Imagine again that it's possible for you to develop a "friends list" of 10 serious entrepreneurs, just like you (I did that in two weeks with FaceBook).
And imagine that in your NEW social networking site, you are able to advertise your business as part of a worldwide directory of business opportunities FOR FREE...
And because you will be part of MY circle of friends, I'll share these strategies for growing your social network with the ten people on your friends list too. We'll imagine that every four weeks, a new group of those folks duplicate our effort, and find their ten friends, whom they invite to be part of the entrepreneurs' social network...
It would look something like this:
- Month One: You invite 10 friends to join for free.
- Month Two: They invite 10 friends. (100 members on level 2)
- Month Three: They invite 10 friends. (1,000 members on level 3)
- Month Four: They invite 10 friends. (10,000 members on level 4)
- Month Five: They invite 10 friends. (100,000 members on level 5)
- Month Six: They invite 10 friends. (1,000,000 members on level 6)
But in the real world, we know that 90% of the people who join something -- even when it's free -- do nothing with it. They're mediocre, tire-kicking losers to be honest. So out of the 1,111,110 people in the network, you would *really* only have 111,111 people really involved.
And out of the 111,111 people, we can safely assume that 3.5% (according to advertising agency statistics worldwide) are ready to join a new program at any given time. Would YOUR business benefit if you had an extra 4,000 new team members enroll over the next six months? What if it took a whole year?
If you earned only $2.45 in commissions each month off each of those people in your program, that would be around $9,600/month income. Could you "get by" with an added $9,600 income each month?
