MLM Training - Walmart vs. Amazon Prime Day July 15. There is a lesson to be learned here.

MLM Training - Walmart vs. Amazon Prime Day July 15: There is a lesson to be learned here.

The information I want to share with you will benefit your business and help you earn an income and grow your business as well.

We all know that Walmart and Amazon are BIG companies. What's really happening with these companies is just business. It's all about competition and sales. That's it plain and simple.

As for Amazon Prime Day on July 15, they want people to sign up for their prime membership (which costs $99 per year) and in return they will get free shipping with a purchase of course. The whole idea behind the Prime membership is to force people purchase every month from them.

Example:
Let's do some calculations: $99 x 1,000 people that sign up for Prime membership. This means Amazon made $99,000. Now recognize that Amazon already offers free shipping products they sell (purchase must be over $35). Now assuming there are no hoops to jump through on their Prime membership, this may be good however I do believe this is purely to get more people to shop more at Amazon (weekly or monthly). People will say I have paid for it, I might as well order from them, not realizing this is exactly what Amazon wants them to do.

Now Walmart comes along, they want to take it a step further by offering the same kind of deal without having to sign up for a membership. They want more online sales as well with kind of twist to it. You can read the entire article at the link below:

Walmart vs. Amazon Prime Day

We all know about Sam's, Club, they charge their customers a membership fee that allows members/customers to buy products in bulk at discount prices? Who is it that owns Sam's Club? Walmart! Hmmm just something to think about.

The lesson here is that it's a simple business strategy that any business owner can plan to do and make money doing it. I'm sure on July 15, 2015, both of these business giants made some big time money online from the publicity by news media and all the promotion and advertising by Amazon and Walmart.

It was someone's idea and they took action and made it happen. The result from an idea was absolutely without a doubt a success for both Amazon and Walmart online.

All Walmart did was take advantage of an opportunity to get a piece of the action that Amazon called "Prime Day"  which started from an idea. Walmart wanted to boost their online sales by using Amazon's Prime Day to help them.

My question to you is: Have you had an idea that may have resulted in big income for your business?

If you answered YES, did you take action and do it?

If you took action and made a profit in your business. Good for you and always remember, an idea can only live when you take the appropriate action to keep it alive. An idea cannot live if no action is taken to nourish it to make it grow.

MLM Training - What Should You Say If They "Don't Have The Money"

As you talk with people about your business, sooner or later a response you are going to hear is "I don't have the money".



Don't try to justify yourself  and manipulate the other person with comments like "well it's not much when you compare it with..." you're setting yourself up for rejection and failure.

Do yourself and everyone else a big favor and don't make that mistake.

I recommend you continue reading the post by Michael Oliver and discover how to address this concern so that everyone wins and you continue building your business with effortless ease.

A common response many Distributors get from the people they speak with is, “I don’t have the money”.
The standard network marketing reply that most Distributors are taught goes something like this…
“I know how you feel. Many people I first spoke with felt the same way and what they found when they started, was that it was the best thing they did….”

Or they justify it with…

“Well it’s not really much money when you compare it with starting a franchise, yadda, yadda, yadda…!”
If you use these, or any other techniques designed to justify or manipulate the other person to say or do something… I suggest you do yourself, your potential partner, and the industry a big favour… STOP! Unless of course you’re only interested in using hit or miss strategies and attracting at best about 1% of the people you talk with and upsetting the rest!

So what to do?

Well how about allowing me to ask you… Do you know what someone means when they say they don’t have the money?

I think you may find the answer is no!

People’s words, statements and questions very rarely reflect what we think they mean. To think you know otherwise puts your potential relationship severely in jeopardy.

So instead of guessing, why not ask?

MLM Training - The Worst Words To Hear In Network Marketing

The worst words to hear in network marketing are:

GROUND FLOOR OPPORTUNITY!

Over 90% of the companies that get started, don't make it 2 years. And most of the rest are gone after 5 years.

Your chances aren't much worse playing the lottery.


It's important to choose a company that has proven it will be around long-term. Pre-launch deals don't qualify. Only a very small percentage of them will last even 2 years.


Your benchmark should be at least 2 years. It takes that long to knock the cobwebs out of it. It takes 2 years to get their ducks in a row, to get their campaigns together, to get everything approved in different countries, to get warehouses built, and all that stuff.


They've already survived a lot of the normal growing pains. They have much better long-term prospects than any "pre-launch". Make them prove themselves by being around 2 years before you commit your time & money to that business.

I am being straight forward and totally honest with you.

When you hear those words "Ground floor opportunity" then take time to think about what it really means.

It means the company is NEW.  They haven't made any money yet. Noone has made any money yet. Here you join this company and telling people to sign up to lock in their position.

Bling! Bling! Lock in your position to what?

People this is hype and the worst kind because they are building up your hopes and your efforts of promoting will be wasted. Your reputation is at risk because you are promoting a business opportunity that is based on hype. You haven't earned any money and so everyone is lying that is promoting this program.

What a waste of time. Over 90% of the companies don't make 2 years. Are you getting this inside your brain.

The only way you can find a good business is to get the skills and training needed to succeed online. People are so in a hurry to earn money online, they skip the step of education and training. They end up feeling like a failure and frustrated with online marketing.  They believe that network marketing is a scam. It's not!

YOU can earn residual income when you get Free MLM Training and Home Business Mentoring and get educated first.

I am offering you that right now.

You don't have to pay any money. I am doing it for free. I have helped many people online and offline by giving them the skills and training they need to succeed. You MUST NOT skip this step.


I just want to take this minute to let you know how much I appreciate you and the support – whether it’s from purchasing a product or commenting on my blog, it means a lot to me.

So I’m ready and willing to pay it forward so you can be successful in network marketing.

MLM Training - Find Somebody Who Already Has The Dream

When you target people who don't know anything about MLM, you'll spend all your time trying to build them a dream, trying to convince them, trying to get them to believe the way you believe.

It's kind of like religion. Let's say you're a Baptist and I'm a Catholic, and you want to convert me. Well, good luck! Why try to convert somebody? Just go find somebody who's already in your religion, and talk to those people.

Otherwise, you'll spend all your time trying to motivate somebody, trying to get them to have a dream ... rather than building your business. When you work with people who don't already understand MLM, there's a good chance they'll head down the road the wrong way. Often they've heard bad things, and that's all they'll focus on.
 

And so you spend ALL your time trying to change that person's mind. It's a waste of time.

What you need to do is find somebody who already has the dream. Your life will go a lot easier.

This is simple enough and if you choose to do it the hard way, then you might as well get out of your network marketing company now and save yourself a lot of heartache. You will NOT succeed if you target people who don't know about MLM.

Network marketing is a relationship business, NOT a sales business. When you take the time to LISTEN, and ask the right questions. You will be able to determine if  the person is qualified to be your business partner.  You will know immediately if this is a potential prospect for your business. Please don't waste time targeting the wrong people for your business. Apply what I am sharing with you today.

Please leave your comments below and share with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. 

Be professional when commenting or I will not approve your comments to be published. No posting your business opportunity links. As online marketers you are branding your name and face, your reputation will be at risk if your behavior is unprofessional.

MLM Training - Some Will, Some Won't, So What, Who's Next?

Hello and welcome to my blog site. Today you will learn how to build your internet or network marketing business the right way. If you expect success in your business then my advice to you is to LISTEN to what I am saying to you.

The most important thing  you can do for your business is to connect with people and get to know them. Relationships is the key to success in business (online and offline).


Folks you must get this inside your mind. If you don't establish a connection with people you come in contact with and listen when they speak to you. You might end up wasting a lot of time on people that are not interested and they will not buy from you or join you in your business.

This is why I say, "Some will, some won't, so what, who's next? "

You want to spend your time on people who get it. The people who are negative and spend their time complaining don't have the desire to change.  Get away from those people quickly because misery loves company and they will take away your power if you continue to listen to them complain. Therefore it is very important that you LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN when you are talking with people,
so you will know if you want to pursue a relationship with them.  The phrase above I shared with you is one to keep in your mind at all times.

It's a true statement because some people are born quitters, they will quit on themselves at the first obstacle they come up against. This is who they are and most likely will never change and this is why you must identify these people and don't waste your time on them because they will quit on themselves and that's the bottom line.

"Winners never quit and quitters never win" 

The winners you will know because they will express there desire to:


1. Make a change in their life.

2. Earn more money.

3. Retire one day and have financial freedom.

4. Quit working on the J.O.B.

5. They will show an interest by communicating and listening to what you are saying.

This is why I say if you want people to listen to what you have to say, it begins with you. Since you have the solution to their problem, it is vital that you listen to make sure you have an interested prospect that wants to get to know you. When you take the time to work on your relationship with them, the time will come when they will ask you how you are earning money in your internet or network marketing business. 

This is how you will build a huge team and earn residual income and have financial freedom plus you will be able to retire one day.

This is the world of  business whether it be online or offline (network marketing or a traditional business). This is how it works and when you follow the advice I have shared with you above, your business will soar and your income will increase too. Residual income is what you want. This is how you will be able to retire one day by working together with your team of like-minded, positive friends that will be with you forever.  It's all because you took the time to get to know them first and understand their wants, needs and desires.

MLM Training - Are You Marketing Or Selling And Do You Even Know?

I will give you the truth and facts so you can make a decision based on what I am going to share with you.

First I will start by giving you the definition of "marketing" and "selling." Some people believe they are different and I will explain why I think they are the same.

You decide and feel free to leave your comment below after you hear what I have to say.

Okay this is the definition of Marketing - the total of activities involved in the transfer of goods from the producer or seller to the consumer or buyer, including advertising, shipping, storing or seller.

Now this is the definition of Selling - most basically defined as providing a good or service in exchange for some type of value. Essentially, accepting money for anything is selling. Something with the expectation of a payment for the goods or services rendered.

This is my explanation of why I believe they are the same. Let me start with the word 'marketing' and the definition above. Let's reference what's highlighted in yellow, the transfer of goods. Now I think you know what the word transfer means. Here's the definition just for the record "to remove from one place, person, etc., to another." Marketing involves removing goods from the producer or seller to the buyer, including advertising, shipping, storing or seller. So this mean you are selling because you are engaged in activities to transfer goods to the consumer or buyer. This includes advertising online and offline, storing of products to sell and shipping if necessary to the buyer.

Next I shall talk about the word 'selling' and reference what's highlighted in green. Selling is providing goods or service in exchange for some type of value. Essentially, accepting money for anything is selling. Something with the expectation of a payment for the goods or service rendered. The seller is delivering goods or service to the consumer or buyer in exchange for some type of value. The seller is expecting payment usually in the form of money for the goods or service given. I do believe that selling and marketing is the same thing. According to the definition of marketing and selling above. A few people may believe they are different. I do believe marketing and selling are the same. Marketing is ALL the activities involved to selling your products or service. I look forward to reading your comments on my post, so please share your comments below.

MLM Training - 100% Commissions? 100% Of What?

Uh oh!

Problem!

Why is it a problem?

I will give you the facts and you make a decision if you believe what I'm saying to you today.

100% commissions?

When a company tells you this, take time to think about this first. If they are paying you 100% commissions then how will they make money?

Answer: A company has to make money to stay in business. Right?  Of course they do. What they will do is charge you a monthly fee for something that will bring money into the company.

Usually it is an affiliate marketing program. Some companies will even tell you they are not an MLM company. This may be true for them to let you think that they're not. What it really is, is an affiliate program. They let people sign up  for free and then offer them an option to participate in their affiliate program. They will tell people that as an affiliate you can earn 100% commissions.

Here's where it get's tricky, many of these programs are pre-launch businesses and what this means is, they are new. Many times they don't even have a product or service in place for you to earn any commissions until later. That's why it's in pre-launch until they get the system working right and a pay plan that will encourage you to promote their program.  Next they tell you when someone joins under you, they will pay you for doing this.

Wait a minute! Something is wrong with this; this means the only way you will make money is by sponsoring NEW people in. Okay nothing is wrong with that except this means you can't retire one day. This is the wrong business model.

Why?

If you don't sponsor anyone in then you won't make any money. The company won't pay you, and most likely the company won't be in business very long if nothing is happening. You understand what I'm saying to you? This will happen when people have the option of signing up for free without being in the affiliate program, but what good is that if they can't make any money? They just get on someone's list and will be getting emails from the company trying to get them to upgrade. Now it is up to sponsor to let them know why they should do it. The reason is so they can make money when they do. This leads to the sponsor having a money agenda. NO relationship at all and the person will feel this and think "I have to do this too." They'll be gone so fast and eventually forget about the company.

In the meantime the company is looking for a product you can sell because they know that this is not going to work for long. They need a product or service so you can earn that 100% commission they guaranteed you will get.

100% Of What? 

If the company has no product, there goes that 100% commission they talked about. It doesn't exist and all you're doing is getting people in and they are paying you such a small amount of money for doing this (Usually $10 - $30). Keep in mind the company can only pay you a small amount of the monthly fee they are getting each month from people you sponsor. They need to have something coming in or they are out of business and YOU will be looking for another business opportunity.

Many times these companies resort to offering stuff that can be found on the internet for free. The cost is not value priced at all. They expect you to buy and then tell others to do the same thing so you can recoup the money you paid. Something smells fishy here, if it don't it should.

Here's the thing, you bought a high priced product or service for say $100, and they tell you it's valued at $300. They do that to make you think it's super great. In actuality it's probably not worth the $100 you spent on it. How can you tell someone it's valuable if you don't find it to be true and have to get information elsewhere. Uh oh something is wrong here.

Now that 100% commission doesn't exist. What else can you do except find a new company and start all over again. Frustration sets in because you just lost money and nothing is coming in.

Here's my advice when looking for your new business opportunity.

Do your homework first, by reading your contract (policies and procedures) first, evaluate the compensation plan, make sure their product is value priced and people don't have to sign up to buy it from you. (In business you need customers and partners to have residual income.) You must check out the people who are running the company and be sure they have a system in place to generate targeted prospects for you.

Also you MUST get yourself a mentor, and this is what I do. I will help you to do all the things above so you will find a business opportunity that will earn you money online. 

Just do this now and get what you need to be successful in network and internet marketing. This is FREE MLM Training and Internet Marketing Training

MLM Training - Experience Is The BEST Teacher!

When I first got started in network marketing a long time ago (late 70's), uh oh I'm telling my age. I don't care because experience is the best teacher. I was
a rookie with no education, skills and training about the industry of network marketing.

I was failing miserably, trying to sell everything under the sun. I didn't realize that my failure was all due to being uneducated and no skills in this industry. I found out that it was not my fault, because they don't teach you how to build a business in school or college.

They tell you to get a good JOB and collect a check every week or two and work until retirement age.

WRONG!

It will lead you to working the rest of the your life for someone else. YOU are building their business, and not your OWN!

Continue reading at the link below:

Terri Pattio | Press Release: MLM Training - Experience Is The BEST Teacher!

MLM Training - If your #1 network marketing product is not remarkable, you are invisible.

You need a product people will buy even with no compensation plan. Otherwise, it will take way too much work for anyone to build your business.

I get calls from people who tell me they're searching for a product that truly inspires them. And that is exactly the wrong way to set yourself up for a long-term successful network marketing business.
Instead, search to find a mob of people raving about a product‚ THEN
Fall in Love With THAT Product!

Be a passionate advocate for it. Find a product with a HUGE market and fall in love with it.

Some people love to work for companies with a product that fits their self-image ‚ but they can't make a dime on it.

Do yourself a favor. Focus on the people. Focus on the market. Use Google. Search & compare products. Find something that a ton of people are excited about. Choose a product that everyone else wants.

And then, as you build your people, let them know the wisdom of doing the same thing.
Let me give you an example.

When People Are Excited About a Product, They Run To The Marketplace!
I ask this question of people all the time:
"Do you know anybody who is a diabetic, or who has a blood-sugar disorder?" Never once has anyone told me, "No."

So my next question to them is, "Do you think that person would like to know about a product that's all natural, that costs less than $20, that has been proven to help rebuild the pancreas, and can possibly reduce or eliminate their need for insulin?"
The answer is always "Yes," and they are very excited about that.
And that person YOU know who has a blood-sugar disorder - do you think they may know 10 people who'd like the same information? THAT is the kind of excitement you can create with a hot, sizzle product that has people feelling the difference in days, not weeks or months.

Another example - do you remember Excel long distance service, non-network marketers took the product to the market. We were all paying 40 cents a minute for long distance back then. When Excel started reselling long distance, you paid 30 cents a minute. And if you had your friends & family on it, you got it for 15 cents a minute.
So non-network marketers took that product to the marketplace. They didn't care whether there was a compensation plan. It was obviously a huge improvement over the 40 cents a minute that everybody was paying.
So do yourself a favor. Find yourself a product that already has a huge market, and then fall in love with THAT product. Your business will almost build itself.

Here's to your success. If you found this post beneficial, please feel free to share it with your friends on Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and Linkedin. Also share your thoughts with me by leaving your comments below.

MLM Training - Are These Cycler Programs For Real?

Good day to you.

I will start by saying, this is my way of giving you the facts to make a sound decision before you sign up for a cycler program.

It just makes me mad to see people lose their hard-earned money when it could have been avoided.

People need clarity and understanding of how they are getting paid and what they have to do.

With these cycler programs, what they tell you the majority of the time is that you just get 2 or 3 people in and that's it. You pay one time and make residual income too.

This is not true because if you just joined and you haven't made any money yet,  IT WILL NOT BE  BELIEVABLE.

Why? You are repeating what they told you.

Let's consider some facts:

1. You invested a small amount of money, and tell people this because you want to get people on their conference calls or webinars. Oh yes you will have to get on the calls too so they can program you on what to say to people.

2. All these cycler programs will tell you to get people on their conference calls and let them make the pitch for you (of course they won't call it that).  It is what it is. In actuality, you're building their list and doing all the work for them.

3. You have a recruiting agenda because if you don't sponsor anyone in the program, nothing will happen. This means you are not making money.

Yeah yeah I know what you are thinking. YOU have to sponsor people in any business opportunity if you want to make money online. However you must have a value priced product or service to give people value for their money. This is true, so listen to me and let's dig a little deeper on this.

What does this mean for you in these Cycler programs if you don't get the minimum number of people to join you?
Answer: 1) YOU will not make any money. 2) you will quit very fast

These Cycler systems are all the same, and don't get me wrong I have nothing against making money. Just as long as it is legitimate and a win win for all parties involved. These cycler systems are illegal because there is NO PHYSICAL PRODUCT. What are people getting for their money?

* Videos on personal development

* Apps for your cell phone

* E-books to download

These are things that you can get for free on the internet. A simple Google search will do the trick.
You can find anything in Google when you take time to look it up.

These Cycler programs are scams because they are put together for a purpose. They tell you once you reach a certain level that you will gain a re-entry point and this is how you will make the real BIG MONEY! You have to jump through hoops to get the BIG MONEY. On the real here, no one ever gets this far anyway in a cycler system. This is just their way of building their list until they find a real deal to promote to those who signed up for the Cycler program.
 
No dice for you.

Please, please listen to me.  If you have not sponsored anyone and you go around plastering your link all over the internet telling people about the money they can make, you're a scammer too. All you will manage to do is get yourself labeled as a spammer and that is no good for you.

 My closing thoughts:
Don't fall for these cycler programs; it's a scam. You will quit because you will not get anyone to join you. It's likely your sponsor was not honest with you because they were desperate. YOU will probably end up doing the same thing they did. This is a bad cycle for anyone to be in and no one wins except the scammers who are running this mess, but not for long because it will come out. How long and how many people must lose their money and be hurt by it?

Not many. Hopefully this post will be enlightening and make you think before you sign up for these cycler programs.

MLM Training - What Happened to Instant Cash Plugin?

Don't hear much about it anymore, do you?  It's gone.

So what happened?

I'll tell you what happened, it was hype, greed and ego. 

So many people were telling you that it was the best thing since mom's apple pie. Well I knew it was not for real.

IT WAS ALL HYPE!

Here's a review of Instant Cash Plugin from a person who paid to use the system. Just click the link below and it will open in another window so you can come back here and finish reading my post because I must add my two cents in here too.

Honest Instant Cash Plugin Review: Why I give it 0.5 stars 

Hello did you get it?

They were scammers and the proof is right in front of your eyes. What more proof do you need other than the fact that people are no longer promoting it and these scammers have moved on to their next scheme to suck money from even more people.

But there is something you can do and it's very simple.

GET EDUCATED!

You don't want to waste time and lose your money again.

That's where I can help you, this is what I do when I'm not building my business.

I'm a MLM Coach and Mentor with a servant's heart.

I have a video with a message from me to you.

Please take time to LOOK at it now.




Let me tell you something right now, I mean what I say.

I will help you if you are coachable. I will be your accountability partner so that you can succeed and earn residual income so that you can enjoy your life. Working on a J.O.B. is not the answer and if you're reading this then you surely know that already. You want more from life and you want to be your own boss. Make and work your own hours.

DONE, DONE AND DONE

YOU can have happiness, peace and prosperity in your life.

Residual income is what you want and that involves work to make it happen legitimately.

Auto pilot income is not reality as everyone thought Instant Cash Plugin was. It's just someone's idea of making people believe that it is.

I recommend that you read a previous post I wrote titled: >>>  MLM Training - The Difference  Between Residual Income And Auto Pilot Income    It will be very eye opening for you.

Now I direct you to get my FREE e-book located at the top right.

The information inside is VITAL to your having success in your home business.

Now I know you found this post educational and informative, please be a dear and share it to your friends on the various social sites now.

Network Marketing Or Direct Sales

One gives you residual income and the other just pays you a commission (short term profit).
I will elaborate further in this post to give you all the facts so that you can make a decision on which is best for you.

I will start with Direct Sales first, by giving you a definition: "The direct personal presentation, and most often a demonstration is done, and the sale of products and services is made to the consumers, usually in their homes or at their jobs."

Based on what you just read it is self explanatory.

Direct selling is about individual sales agents reaching and dealing directly with clients. This is definitely different then direct marketing.

Direct marketing is when a business chooses to have a relationship with their customers without going through an agent/consultant or retail outlet. Do YOU see the difference?

There is a vast difference.

  Direct selling often, but not always, uses multi-level marketing aka MLM (salesperson is paid for selling and for sales made by people he recruits or sponsors) rather than single-level marketing (salesperson is paid only for the sales he makes himself)

Based on that fact which would you prefer? I know which one I would prefer. The fact remains direct selling will not earn you residual income. Bottom line, it's short term profits.

If you are attempting to make money online, it's safe to assume that you want to retire one day and enjoy the rest of your life with NO worry about paying your bills.

In my opinion I don't believe that direct sales will earn you residual income. You are a salesperson and unless you are selling a product or service where they pay you $1,000 to $2,000 a week. Your chances of retirement is slim and none.

Now I will speak about network marketing. I will tell you this first and it is IMPORTANT that you get this.

IT IS A RELATIONSHIP GAME!

It's not a numbers game, people are people.

People have goals, dreams and desires of their own. The relationship is the process and this is network marketing.

It means a successful business and residual income.

Products come and go. Companies come and go. Your spiderweb of friends if you do it right, treat them right, will last forever.

It is what it is and I will certainly validate this as being factual and true. If you will take two minutes and just do a Google search on my name now (Terri Pattio) and see how I am branded on the internet.  Getting your name branded on the internet the right way takes time and so do your relationships. You  simply cannot rush this process YOU must first get to know, like and trust someone. This MUST be two way communication and the important thing to remember is that all parties involved must LISTEN to one another.

The people you sponsor into your network marketing business will be your friend and business partner  for life and  this is how everyone in your team will make residual income. YOU will have a team of leaders that will reap the rewards of their efforts together.

With direct selling you are trading long term stability for short term profit. This is not good at all, because when you get done with your presentation. Now you have to close them and YOU pray that you have did a great job so they will buy your product or service so you will get paid.

In network marketing, closing people is a stab in the heart. YOU simply can't do this because if you do this, then the next month you will have to close them again to get them to do any work. They have to sell themselves and this is done when you have taken the time to get to know, like and trust them and the feeling is mutual.

It's a two way street and this is a requirement. YOU cannot skip this process and expect to build your network marketing business and have residual income for life.

I believe that I have covered this thoroughly and If you found this to be useful. Please share with your friends.

MLM Training - How To Make Residual Income

I will begin by letting you know that every word I am saying will be validated. In this post I will give you an explanation of why I believe that residual income is better than auto pilot income.

Before I get started, I recommend that you read my previous post titled "MLM Training - The difference between residual income and auto pilot income.

Okay I will start by saying again that auto pilot income is JUST HYPE!

Now I'm not saying that you won't make any money using these auto pilot income systems that are being promoted. It's possible that you will. Here's the catch, the product(s) owner will make a great deal more than you will. It's simple logic because they will always recommend YOU to tell others and they will pay you a commission to do it. They will give you an affiliate link and this is how it works it is what it is. It does know good for them to create a system and no one is using it but them.  This is the reason they created the system in the first place so they can get a lot of people to buy it, and they need help to promote it so this is why they give you a link and recommend that you do so because they know you want to make money and they will pay you a commission (usually 50%). What many people don't realize is, it's not residual income. Also these systems are tools and it's illegal to pay commissions on tools.

Now I will explain about residual income. What I like most about it is, you do the work one time and get paid over and over and over again. When it is done correctly, YOU will get paid every week, bi-weekly or monthly. Learning to earn residual income is a lot easier then promoting different products and services to make a fast buck, you will never be able to retire doing this. You MUST have repeat customers that buy from you every month, this is how you create your residual income.

Residual income is the only way to go, because it means financial freedom and you can retire one day.

It means that you can do all those things that a job won't let you do. You're the boss and can work your own schedule because you know that you have money coming in when you take time off  from your business. When you learn how to find a business opportunity that will compensate you fairly for your efforts, get the skills and training you need then you will be on your way to having peace and happiness in your life.

HOW TO MAKE RESIDUAL INCOME

I will say this much, it is a process and when you FOCUS on the reward (which is earning your residual income) then it will be easier for you to reach your goals and make money online.

MLM Training - The Difference Between Residual Income And Auto Pilot Income

RESIDUAL INCOME

I am going to start by saying, a residual occurs when you do the work once and you get paid over and over again for that work done.

Multi-millionaires know the secret to creating true wealth is creating residual income. YOU make money 24 hours a day because you did it right the first time.

Auto Pilot Income

 
Speaking frankly, some money hungry greedy person made it up. When you think about it, you will agree when I illustrate it to you.

You have a pilot on an airplane, and thanks to technology and programmers, there's a whole lot of things that can be done automatically through use of programs, but there is one requirement. Someone has to monitor the program to make sure that it is working properly. It's not a set it and forget it deal. If the pilot sets a plane on auto pilot to fly to their destination and falls asleep on the job and something happens that was not expected (such as bad weather while in the air). Will the program handle it correctly? It can't know how severe the weather is and what to do. The instructions given to it was by the pilot on board. Who will land the plane?  This is something that has to be done by the pilot. This calls for the pilot's attention.

Such is the case with  all of the software that people are creating and selling to people, they tell you it takes five minutes to set it up and you can forget it. They tell you it will make you money without any effort on your part.

This is not true. There is no such thing as something for nothing.

Here's my point on this, isn't it true that computers are machines, and that people write these program based on an idea they had. A program will only do what the programmer has told it to do. Since people are not perfect there is no way possible they can anticipate what will happen to the program in the future. So if you just set it and forget it, then how will you know if it is working correctly. There will be bugs in it for sure. This is why the programmer must update it and they must monitor it to be sure that it is working properly.

Auto Pilot Income System

Is there such a thing? A big NO!

Let's look at it this way, if there was then no one would have anything to do. YOU must put forth effort and earn an income. Paying for a software to do all the work is ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is to pay a high price for it and then something happens to the software or it becomes obsolete because the programmer doesn't monitor or updates it regularly to keep up with new developments. If this isn't done by the programmer then you have been scammed out of your money and left with a worthless software.

Now that auto pilot income is gone if you ever had it.  What's even worse is when someone has a software and they sell it to people and then tell YOU to become an affiliate and promote it to others and they will pay you a commission. The software is a tool and it's illegal to do this. The software owner is building his list and doesn't realize that the Attorney General will eventually shut them down.

Why?

IT'S ILLEGAL TO PAY COMMISSIONS ON TOOLS! 

Check it out for yourself, call your local Attorney General office and verify what I'm saying is true.

BIG MONEY GAME 

That's what they tell you, so that you will buy there software. They will give you some hyped up website with a fancy car, showing a lot of money on it. It's a lure and they are just baiting you in. Auto pilot income is not real.

Also it's not residual income.

On my next post I will go into great details and explain how residual income is better then auto pilot income. Please return back here and read and learn from it.

MLM Training - Product Movement Is The Lifeblood Of ANY Business

Yes this is a fact. On yesterday I asked this question to a group of people "What is the Lifeblood of ANY business?"

Answer: Product movement is the lifeblood of ANY business. If you are moving product to the end consumer then you are making sales, which means you are making money. If this is not happening in your business then you are not a happy camper. It's very simple,

PRODUCT MOVEMENT MEANS SALES!

I was getting all kinds of answers, and they were great answers but it was not the correct answer. Eventually someone did say the correct answer. The point of the question was to educate and to initiate an interaction with this group of people. In business, if you're not having relationships with people then it's safe to assume that you are selling to them with no intent of even having a relationship at all. This will not give you residual income that will allow you to retire one day. Network marketing is not a sales business, it's a relationship business!

When YOU are done, I recommend that you read:

What Network Marketers Can Learn From The Walmart Business Model

FREE MLM Training - What's Important To Your Prospect When Deciding On A Company? (Part Two)

Well I'm back and now I am going to reveal the answers and hopefully you have rated them as instructed from my previous post. If you are new here and have not read part one then you can just click here and do so now.

Let's begin, and we shall find out "Are YOU Thinking Like A Prospect?

The number one thing that is important to the prospect is:

1. Who gave the presentation? I hope this doesn't surprise you, because if you put something else as number one then it's not looking good for you. I've said it once before in previous post, and I will say it again here PEOPLE JOIN PEOPLE! It's YOU that they know, like and trust. It's not about the company or any products, it's just simply YOU!

So moving on to number two, and that is, Upline Support. Your prospect wants to know if you can help them, and and will the up-line be any help too. Makes sense, let's look at it this way would you want someone to sponsor you in the business and then you're just left all alone and don't know what to do next? It doesn't make you feel confident in your decision to join them in their network marketing company, and now you're wondering if anyone is going to join you because you don't know if you want to continue. It's a bitter pill to swallow, there again it's all about YOU!

What's number three, is there Training Provided? Still again it's about you and no mention of money yet. All that matters to your prospect is "Will YOU Help Me?"
Do YOU have a system in place which I can follow to help me be successful, and what about conference calls that they can get on, is it sufficient to teach me the skills that I will need for my business? These are all the questions your prospect wants to know before they want to know about your company. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ASSURE THEM OF THIS BEFORE YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR COMPANY!

Number Four would be the "Marketing Plan and Potential Earnings"

Now your prospect is probably wondering "Can I really make money doing this and can you train me?" You don't want to get all into the details of if, just give them an short overview as as not to confuse them. Remember this may very well be someone who is a total newbie and they want understand if you go into too much detail. On the other hand, if they have been another network marketing company and didn't do so good, then you surely want to tread lightly with them too. In either case, just be brief as possible and give them a little bit of how they can make money and reassure them they can do it.

Coming up next is number five. Since we are here and now I will ask how are you doing so far? If you got them all right then you great, so you are thinking like a prospect. However if you have missed on all of the four mentioned above then that's something you have got to work on. It means the success of your business and it is vitally important. Here's number five and it is Product Line. Okay now you can finally talk about products, but hold up a minute, WHOA nelly slow down. All they want to know is "What is the product and can I use it?" Please, please don't waste a lot of time telling them ingredients and such things about the product. They're not ready to hear any of that yet. Just keep is simple, and that is that. Listen and if they ask a question, be ready to answer but be brief and KEEP IT SIMPLE!

Now number six is coming at you, and it is Being First In The Area. Now they want to know if there is potential for growth and this is important to your prospect because they don't want to join a company, and find out in a few years, that the company is shutting it's doors because there is no market for the product anymore. That would be a truly sad day for them because now they have to start all over again.

Moving right along to number seven, and I have to ask "How are you doing so far?" I hope that you have gotten some of them right because if you have missed them all then that would surely not be a good thing for your business.

Back to number seven and it is Company Literature Shown.
YOU CAN'T RELY ON SALES BROCHURE TO SELL SOMEONE. Not even an audio or video tape. Once again it back on YOU. It's making that connection and having a relationship with people. That's what network marketing is, it's a relationship business. I can't make it more clearer than that. If YOU don't have relationships with people then that means your business will not prosper. Bottom line because nothing else matters.

Oh boy we're moving on to number eight, and this a good one. Now your prospect wants to know if the company is legitimate and that they are there. They just want to know that they will send them a check, and that they have an office with an address and a phone they can call them if they need to.

Okay here's number nine Is The Sales Kit Provided?
Now you can tell them about the great videos, and the brochures and all the tools they will get to build their business. Notice this is almost the least important thing the prospect wants to know. Why do you think that is? It's about the top three things that I told you about at the beginning, YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT and what that means if you haven't taken the time to get to know someone, and you trust each other then nothing else matters they won't be a prospect for your business anyway. It's a relationship business and I believe that with all my heart. It's how you build your business and have lifelong friendships in the process. This is truly the only way to do it. It's YOU!

Oh wow we're at number ten and this is the least important thing that a prospect wants to know about when you're speaking to them, and that is Company Management Experience.

They don't want to hear stories about how the president of the company is a family man or if he is down to earth man and he shops at Walmart. It just doesn't matter to them. Just make sure they like and believe you. The only thing that you want to do is leave them with a great impression of you, and that you can call them because you have a friend that know, like and trust you for being who you are.

It all starts with YOU, and now it's time to tally up your score to see how you rank.
Here's how you would do that, take the difference between what you had and the correct answer. (Example: suppose you had number 7 Company Literature shown as number 3 then the difference would be 4.) Now just do that with each item, then add them up and see how you thinking, comparing how yourself to how the prospect is thinking.

I will leave you with this final thought "IT'S WHAT YOUR PROSPECT THINKS THAT MATTERS. WHAT YOU KNOW DOESN'T MATTER TO THEM."

If you have taken the time to do this quiz then you will do very nicely in this business and know that to be successful in this business YOU MUST get educated first.

I will start off by saying that it's not what you're thinking. In a few minutes I am going to provide you with a list, and from that list I am going to give you a little quiz to see if you are thinking like a prospect. This is critical that you know this, because it will make the difference of you having a successful business. No one wants to waste any time on building your business, because you want to create a residual income so that you can have freedom to do what you want, when you want.

Now grab a pen and write down this list I am about to give to you, and what I want you to do is, rate these items yourself, from 1 to 10, most to least important. I recommend that you take this quiz and I will give you the answers on tomorrow.

MLM Success - My Mentors: The Most Brilliant Marketers I Know!

Is Michael Dlouhy and Tom "Big Al" Schreiter and here's why I say that. The combined experience between the two of them is 60 years. Just stating that fact should be enough for you, but I will continue and tell you why I feel the way I do.

1. Integrity
2. Honesty
3. Willingness to help others
4. Proven track record of success
5. Professionalism
6. Still actively involved in network marketing
7. No ego
8. Great leaders
9. I could go on forever but I believe you get where I'm coming from.

I have personally met these two gentleman and it was an exhilarating experience, one that I will never forget. I have learned a lot from both of them and they share what they know so freely. This is what I would call the perfect scenario for education, by being in the company of two professional network marketers who realize that they have a gift, a talent that they will teach like-minded people who desire to be successful in network marketing.

Thanks be to God for "Success in 10 Steps" (FREE e-book located in the side bar) it is an e-book that every person who is desiring to make residual income from network marketing MUST read. I believe in it, and it will make a difference in your life because it has for me.

One final thought I want to leave you with, the only reason you are not having success is, lack of education, skills and training in network marketing. Also you a need a mentor, someone that has all the qualities that I listed above about Michael and Tom. That someone would be me, and I have that same dedication as my two mentors which I have watched, listened and learn from. I feel safe in saying that I can help you just like they did for me. The first thing I want you to do is, check out the resources below and get started reading "Success in 10 Steps" immediately.
