MLM And The Human Touch

"WE GET PAID FOR BRINGING VALUE TO THE MARKETPLACE" JIM ROHN

 

There are a few basic but critical things that you will need in order to grow your network marketing business successfully. The problem is, many people who have been in the industry have no idea about some of these concepts.

That is because they have come from the idea that people need no real skills to do this, just make a list of everyone you know, and lead with your product and opportunity, they will sell themselves!

Well, the problem here for one thing is with the term ‘sell’. People hate to be sold. What you really want to do is qualify your leads, so that you are speaking with a more targeted audience of entrepreneurs who are interested in working a business to create their fortune.

To truly break from the pack and achieve your ultimate goal, passive residual income, you need to do:

1. Aquiring leads

2. Following up

3. Relationship building

4. Sponsoring and

5. Training

While the masses have seemed to put all of their faith into systems to do numbers 1 and 2, there is no reason that people cannot use offline and online methods combined to acquire leads and follow up. As a matter of fact, even the most seasoned email marketer will tell you that it’s not so much about the size of the list anymore but of your relationship with your list.

Having leads, traffic and a list are important elements in building an MLM home business but it is what we do with those leads,, traffic and list that makes all the difference. Having a successful MLM home business requires real leadership. It helps if the affiliate program we are promoting has a system of training and support in place but nothing takes the place of the "human touch". Personal communication either face to face, Skype, phone or e-mail is essential in building our MLM home business. The "e-mail blasters" may get us a million visitors to our sites but it will take some one on one "face time" to build a down line of active and committed business partners.  We must get our list then work our list with a good autoresponder and with your human heart touching another human heart possessing the mutual desire of being  successful MLM home business entrepreneurs.

We Can Do This

If all things were possible, how many people would prefer to work for themselves? If you did a survey among your family members, friends and acquaintances, you would probably find that the vast majority of them would say that owning a business is a dream of theirs but that they are afraid to make it a reality. 

Here are four ways MLM eliminates start up fears and can get a newbie on the road to entrepreneurial success.

 Low Initial Costs

 Limited Time Investment

 Low Risk

 Lack of Business Knowledge

 The four ways that MLM eliminates start up fears listed here give a prospective entrepreneur good reasons to consider this business model. It provides the benefits of running a business while lowering the risks associated with a new venture.

   All of us as online marketers, whether we admit it or whether we have achieved it or not, desire to have a full time home business. Most us don't have the thousands needed for traditional business ventures. However the MLM or multi-level marketing business model allows those of limited time and money to start a home business that can lead to genuine financial security on either a part time or full time basis. As the above article points out,  the low risk and start up costs of the MLM business model make it a good choice for the average person desiring to be a home based entrepreneur.  However no amount of training, marketing resources or some MLM matrix "spillover" will guarantee success in MLM  without the intangible or heart determination to succeed in MLM and a passion for some MLM product or service. Success in MLM begins in the heart and mind of persons willing to help others have the same success desired for themselves. "All for one and one for all" worked for the Three Musketeers and the same sentiment works for those in MLM. We can do this!

MLM Dreams Do Come True

Holly Chen is a former first-grade teacher, just over 5 feet tall, with a taste for sequins. You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but this 68-year-old grandmother is one of the most prolific salespeople on Earth.


Late on this January night, in a cramped casino ballroom, some 1,100 people rise to greet Ms. Chen. Cameras flash as she strides across stage in black patent-leather boots. The mood takes an unexpected turn when she starts by talking about her late mother. Soon she is in tears.

"The most powerful weapon is to move somebody emotionally," she says later, speaking Mandarin throughout. "So if you send out a signal as love, you will receive the same signal back."

Ms. Chen is a kingpin of the emotions business. Over three decades, she and her husband have become the single largest Amway Corp. distributor in the world, motivating a commission-based army of some 300,000 salespeople. As members have recruited new reps, the network has spread from Ms. Chen's base in Taiwan across Hong Kong and mainland China to Chinese immigrant communities in the U.S., France, Spain and Russia.


They call this multilevel network chao fan, which means "extraordinary." It has grown more than 30% each year since 2009. Today, Ms. Chen directs one in every 10 Amway reps—getting a cut along the way.

Her total haul is estimated by one direct-sales magazine at $8 million a year. "I don't even know how much I make," she says to the group gathered in Las Vegas, part of the U.S. branch of chao fan.

  I believe in the power and integrity of Multi-Level Marketing. Legal MLM companies like Amway, which is a product based and word of mouth advertised business, offers an opportunity to make an honest dollar to anyone, including the homeless or unemployed. The financial success that Holly Chen has accomplished with Amway can be duplicated by anyone with the same determination and persistence, even though as the above article points out the average Amway distributor makes only about $200 a month. In today's economy an extra two hundred bucks a month is nothing to scoff at. If a company offers a product or service you find value in and that company is willing to pay you  residual income to share that product or service with others in some sort of multi-level marketing compensation plan, then I say go for it. MLM Dreams do come true.

Keep High Standards And The Money Will Follow

With thousands of Network Marketing companies opening their doors every day, it’s extremely important to make sure that you align yourself with one that will be mutually beneficial for both you and the company you partner with.
After carefully observing the trends of the fly by night companies versus those that have a strong and solid reputation with a long term vision for growth and success for their Reps, I have put together a 5 Point Checklist that you must use BEFORE signing up with any company.
1.Company / Vision
2.Leadership / Upline
3.Systems
4.Product
5.Compensation Plan

  Choosing the right home business opportunity, affiliate or traffic program is very important. There is a valid criteria for judging what is a good program and what is not. The company vision, training and support really matter if you want to succeed with any program. The system of advertising or marketing should be a well defined, doable and duplicateable. The product or service the program provides must have a real stand alone value to you and others and the program compensation plan should be simple and sensible.  Keep high standards for the programs you support and the money will follow.
