Home Based Business: Network Marketing • Published: March 16, 2011
When I have been talking about recently with people, who are perhaps struggling with their network marketing business, I have become aware and increasingly concerned that, for many, the root cause is their own state of mind. In other words, what they have internalized, what they believe they need to be, or what they have been told erroneously is the key to network marketing success.
MLM Training - Stop Playing The Victim
Home Based Business: Network Marketing • Published: March 10, 2011
One of the greatest benefits of being part of the network marketing industry is to share in the successes of the thousands of network marketers the world over regardless of which market sector within which they run their businesses. Although in general some cultures are a lot more positive than others (without naming any specific countries), I am still surprised that some people complain about the success of others. Apart from the fact that this attitude or mindset is totally debilitating, they are doing themselves a huge disservice, almost negating their own success no matter how small. Success is success and I wish these people would stop playing the victim.

Home Based Business: Network Marketing • Published: February 23, 2011
When talking to your MLM prospects, I am sure you know that is unwise to think or assume that they won't pick up on things you say if there is any lack of conviction or confidence in your voice.

So, what do you do when you are asked the question how is it working for you?

Home Based Business: Network Marketing • Published: December 9, 2010
I had a very interesting conversation with a network marketing distributor recently and it may help you determine which prospects are right for your MLM business. The main thrust of the conversation is this distributor's concern that her company's products are seen to be too expensive and that some of her very good prospects who are facing a financial crisis and coming from a mid-class society think the distributor's company is not suitable for them. Her comment to me was "Somehow, I have to believe that MLM is supposed to be suitable for anybody. What do you think?"

It takes money to make money is as much a universal truth today if not even more so.

MLM Training - Do You Really Love Sales?
Home Based Business: Network Marketing • Published: November 4, 2010
I had a very interesting conversation recently with a prospect. He started off by asking the question "Do you really loves sales?" Followed by "Or do you just toughen up and do it?" Now, you all know the power and the importance of getting prospects to open up and talk freely and that can only happen when you are genuinely focused on helping them and not stuck on your own agenda. I add that because, when he added the statement "You want something from them, and you're not going to be able to lie to yourself about that." I totally objected to his remark internally but I could see and I fully understood that this MLM prospect was really the one with an objection about sales.
