Are you a ‘network marketing yahoo’ who sends me messages like, ‘Check out my link and tell me what you think?’ It is beyond me how people think this strategy will actually build their business! It’s ridiculous.
I will say that I have replied to these people asking how the strategy is working for them, but get no response except another ‘check out my link’ message a few days later. Or, I get an unsolicited email in which I click ‘SPAM’ right away. This is NOT the way to build a network marketing business!!
Luckily, we live in a time in our profession that there are now tools and systems available to help network marketers learn how to build and brand their businesses professionally! Unfortunately, there are still thousands of networkers who will ignore this and continue to spam unsuspecting victims and will quickly become one of the 97% of failures in our profession! That said, there are a select few, still only 3% that will succeed in our profession because they dig deep and find those very tools! THOSE are the ones that have will have a glimmer of hope at finding success in this profession.
As I first started to build a network marketing business, I went about it the traditional way. I first went to my warm market and didn’t have much success. There were two key components that changed everything!
1 – I was introduced to a system that taught me everything I needed to know to market and brand myself online. I started to attract qualified prospects who were looking for ME as opposed to me looking for THEM!
2. Live training events – I wasn’t finding success, however, I continued to invest in myself and my business by attending company-sponsored and generic training events. I continued to learn about my profession and learned the most up-to-date skills and techniques that were working. Being mentored by people who were majorly successful made all the difference! Do you think Donald Trump made his fortune by ‘winging it?’ Heck no! He earned a fortune by building a business in an area where he became an expert by learning and doing!
The same old sorry excuse will be played out by many….i.e. ‘I don’t have enough money or time to attend events.’ Well, I’ll be honest, that’s crap. Those who get themselves to events without money or time WANT it badly enough. They get creative. They drive instead of fly. They sleep in a car instead of a hotel. They call in sick to work. They want to change their life enough to make a sacrifice or two. They get themselves there, they learn and they move forward. Come hell or high water, they get there. Why? Because they WANT it! They realize that to earn more, then need to learn more!
There is an event taking place in Las Vegas in October 2010 that EVERY network marketer must attend. It’s being hosted by My Lead System Pro and whether your are a member or not, you need to be there. Now, if you are sending me emails telling me to ‘check out your link…,’ YOU need to be there more than anyone! Please, I beg you! This is a generic training so it makes no difference what company you are with. Just get there!
Attending live events has saved my career! Keep in mind that the most powerful business relationships have started from meeting at live events. Some of the biggest ‘a-ha’ moments have happened at live events that have changed the direction of many businesses. Getting there or not will be the great divide between the good and the great! My team will be there. My hope is that I can encourage others to be there and learn the missing link they need to be an industry top earner. Will it be you?
