How would you like to be more attractive? Now, when I say, “more attractive”, I don’t really mean “good-looking” attractive. Because, let’s face it, there are lots of things that make someone attractive, beyond just their looks. Instead, I’m talking magnetic quality of attraction that naturally makes folks want to flock to you, desire to be in your presence, and hang on your every word. This is the kind of attraction great leaders exhibit, the kind of attraction that not only makes you more effective in life, but more importantly, makes you significantly more effective in business. Below you’ll learn five secrets every attractive person instinctively knows (but probably couldn’t articulate). Ready to dig in? Alright, here we go! First up, attractive people are more interested in listening to the other person than they are in hearing themselves speak. Have you ever dated somebody who talked about themselves the whole time?
“Me, me, me, me…me! But enough about me – what do YOU think of me?”
(I think there’s actually a country song that says something like, “I want to talk about me.”)
We are our absolute, number one favorite topic
And guess what? Your prospects are the same way. Thus, if you are more interested in getting to know them than you are in talking about yourself, you will instantly become more attractive. Unfortunately, especially in business, most people immediately “throw up” all over their prospects about their product, service, or opportunity. That turns people off! If you do that, it will instantly makes you unattractive. If you’ve never heard of Jay Abraham, you should definitely study some of his stuff. He’s a great marketer. Once, after a marketing event where he was a keynote speaker…
He sat dead tired at the bar
The last thing he wanted to do was to strike up conversations with strangers after a long day. As he was sitting there, a guy started talking to him. Jay thought to himself…
“Oh man, I don’t know if I can muster up the energy to carry on a conversation.”
So he just asked the guy a question…
“What do you do for a living?”
And then he just shut up and listened, genuinely interested in what the guy had to say. He didn’t talk about himself at all. When the guy finished answering, Jay would just ask another question. And the guy would go on for another ten minutes. After 45 minutes, Jay finally said…
“You know, I need to head up to my room and get some sleep, because I have another full day tomorrow.”
The guy said…
“I have met a lot of people in my travels, but you are one of the most interesting people I have ever met.”
Jay Abraham thought…
“What is he talking about? I didn’t say anything about myself at all.”
And then it dawned on him…
“I had this light bulb moment—that being interesting and being attractive is not about trying to prove how interesting you are; it’s about being interested in the other person.”
Next, attractive people are not needy, clingy, or desperate. We all know about needy, clingy, desperate people—you know, the ones who text you, and three seconds later text you again with…
“Why didn’t you text me back?”
Unfortunately, we see a lot of them in this business. These people are so addicted to having that one prospect or person say “yes.” That neediness, clinginess, and desperation makes them very unattractive. Nobody likes those people. To be more attractive…
You have to learn to “take or leave it” when it comes to asking for the business
That’s not to say that you should act flippant or not care about people. You should absolutely care about them. Instead, you need develop a little aloofness. You need to come from a posture of “divine indifference.”
“I need people for my business, but I don’t need this particular person for my business.”
When you adopt that kind of an attitude, you won’t come off as needy, clingy, or desperate to your prospects, which makes you more attractive. There’s a saying that goes something like this:
“He who cares the least holds the most power.”
It’s not about being flippant or uncaring, though. Rather it’s about being realistic.
“If this person doesn’t join, I know there are lots of other fish in the ocean. I’m not addicted to this one person’s decision. If they say ‘no,’ my world won’t end. My life will go on. I’m won’t weep and moan and follow up with them forever. I refuse to position myself as needy and clingy.”
Next up, and importantly, attractive people don’t operate with a hidden agenda. We probably all know somebody in our lives with a hidden agenda. Every time they do something nice for you, they expect reciprocation. They’re not doing the nice thing just because it’s nice. They’re doing it because they want – and expect – something in return. They might give you a gift, but they’re hoping you’ll post pictures and thank them on social media and say…
“Oh, you’re so wonderful. Thank you for this awesome present.”
…giving them public recognition so they look good.
If you’re still trying, unsuccessfully to build your business by prospecting friends and family, cold calling, holding home parties, chasing after everyone that you meet, or being accused of being involved in a “pyramid scheme”
Then you are probably looking for a way to build your network marketing business using the internet.
Most people will spend months if not years, using the old network marketing tactics and either have had very little success in either building a team or acquiring customers. But eventually they either “run out” of people to talk to and have burned their warm list.
Building your business on the internet, however, has some huge benefits…
You can end rejection forever by only talking to people who are highly interested in your offer.
You can generate fresh, qualified leads from wherever (and whenever) you please.
You don’t need to drive long hours, your startup costs are low, and your business works for you 24/7 – without you ever having to pick up the phone!
And the best part of it is that you don’t have to be a “techie” or be a computer expert to get started.
There are three simple steps required to take your business online, starting with…
Now, I know that people have different attitudes as far as personal development and mindset goes, but my advice here is pretty practical.
First, you must become comfortable with the unknown.
If you’ve never done any online marketing, the first thing that you’ve got to understand is that you do not have to learn everything that you need at once. It will take some time to get your head around the different aspects of online marketing and you have to realize that you are building a new skill set that will serve you in many ways.
You shouldn’t try to learn everything at once, just focus on what’s in front of you. For instance, there are several social media platforms that you can use to help you find customers and team members – each platform has its own particular features and idiosyncrasies. So instead of trying to learn Facebook Marketing and Twitter Marketing and Instagram Marketing and SnapChat Marketing, pick the one platform that you like the most, focus on that one platform until you have mastered it to the point where you are consistently generating 10-20 leads a day. And then and only then should you even consider learning how to market on another social media platform.
There are always going to be new technology that you don’t know about, and new skills that you will need to acquire.
Just keep that in mind and expect the unknown.
You must also learn how to overcome adversity.
As you progress in your internet network marketing endeavors, you will undoubtedly encounter obstacles and might even suffer a setback here and there. The key though is to never, ever give up. If you are the type of person that gives up when you encounter roadblocks then don’t even try to build a network marketing business, because I can tell you, in spite of what your upline or the gurus tell you, you will run into them.
You must respect the new skills that you are learning.
When you encounter things that you don’t understand, don’t give up… Get resourceful!
Remember, it’s not important that you know all the answers, what’s important is that you know how to find the answers to the important questions.
The last thing as far as your mindset is concerned is that you have to overcome peer pressure.
There will always be haters. There will be friends and family that will criticise you for pursuing your dreams, and there will be people in your company who don’t approve of you doing something different from what they recommend.
It’s normal for people who have not built their business using the internet to have a negative attitude about those who are doing so.
It’s natural for people to fear what they don’t understand, and many times, when people fear something, they go on the offensive and start attacking those who are doing something “different”.
Building a business online is a bit different than building it offline.
THere are different tactics and strategies and requires an entirely different skill set.
If a leader in your company has doubts and fears about your online efforts, respect the leader, but don’t give in to their doubt and fears.
Though your leaders may not have used the internet to build their own businesses, there are tons of people around the world who have built teams of 1000’s of people using it.
And remember, this is YOUR business. You don’t need the approval of anyone else. You get to build it in the fashion that you choose.
So again, just to sum up this discussion about mindset you need to…
Master the unknown
Learn How to overcome adversity.
Learn to overcome peer pressure.
The next thing you need is a …
There’s a saying in the industry, “Success leaves clues”.
Many of us want to be trailblazers and create our own path to success, but the truth of it is that this is the most expensive and time-consuming way to build a business. If you look around you, you will find that there are people who are already doing what it is that you want to do. So why not learn from them? Why not just get their “blueprint to success” and follow it?
A blueprint that you can reference as you progress along the way to building the business that you desire.
There are basically two ways that you can build your network marketing business online.
First, there is …
Active Social Media Recruiting
… which you can begin implementing right away.
There really isn’t that much that you have to learn with Social media recruiting. All you need is a personal account on Facebook and some sort of process – maybe your company or your upline provides you with an online social media recruiting strategy – on how to present your opportunity and convert prospects into either new customers or new distributors.
If you have a social media recruiting strategy, then you can start building your network marketing business online today.
Social media recruiting strategies are really not that much different than what you would do offline.
The challenge with social media recruiting is that you are always busy…
You’re always posting
You’re always engaging
You’re always interacting with people.
Once you get good at social media recruiting, it produces results quickly ( it can produce massive results ) and you can duplicate the process quickly, but it is intensive.
People will move beyond simple social media recruiting stuff because they want to create more leverage in their business and to free up more of their time.
The next level of social media recruiting is…
Passive Social Media Recruiting
Basically, passive social media recruiting is about creating and posting valuable content or information that inspires people to reach out to you and ask you what you are doing.
It’s a lot easier to have a conversation about your business with people who are reaching out to you and asking you about your business. Under this model, you are able to create huge leverage in your business and scale.
In order to use this strategy, you will need a Facebook Business page – a Fan Page – and a training and lead generation system.
The idea is for people to reach out to you by going to your website an submitting their information. This strategy allows you to build your business 24/7 even if you are asleep or at the beach.
By setting up a lead generation system, you will find that, by the time you get them on the phone, they are 90% sold!
You only answer a few questions, and they’re ready to get started.
It’s all automatic.
This is how you can passively have prospects come into your business, every single day.
It would be very difficult for you to do everything that I just described without some personal one-on-one help.
Think about it, when you started your network marketing business offline, somebody showed you the next steps to take.
The same is true when you are building your business online.
You need someone to show you a step-by-step blueprint.
Also, a mentor will help you with accountability and keep you on course when you stray.
It takes all three of these to get on started and stay on track with your online marketing efforts. But the one thing that you need more than all of these is the commitment and start with the first step.
So if you’ve always wanted to not only have the right information but to have somebody personally help you, then I highly recommend you learn more about Elite Marketing Pro by signing up for my
It’s a video course we walk you through taking your business online.
Because while it is possible to build your network marketing business offline, the way I’m providing you is more efficient, allows you to create income quickly and you can run your business from your laptop.
The cost of many advertising plans is usually their largest problem, but social media marketing has become the fix to all that worry.It is free to create and supply captivating media on social-networking sites and this means anyone can take advantage of the opportunity. The focus shifts to quality over quantity, but if you follow the advice found in this article, you can learn to supply both.
Using Twitter
Try to obtain a Twitter handle that is very close to your business name or brand name. Avoid handles like Jane7592 because nobody will remember you.. You want your name, and your brand, to be remembered so that consumers will look for it when they are shopping online or at the store.
Connect your social media accounts to each other and attempt to secure the same name for all of them. By doing this, you will develop a greater presence on the internet as people search for you. Connecting the accounts allows people that have discovered you in one place to quickly connect to your business through other forms of social media.
?Using Twitter to Market Your Business
Twitter is a great way to market your company on the world wide web. However, make sure that you don’t just throw out information without saying “please” and “thank you”. Manners are very important so customers don’t feel that you are being pushy or disrespectful. Be polite when talking about your company and giving out information.
If you are looking to use Twitter as a social media marketing method, make sure that you choose a username that displays well and is easy to remember. This username should get the point of your company across, but should also be easy to remember. Don’t choose usernames like TommyXo1009. No one will remember it and it is likely irrelevant to your company’s name.
?Blogging
Blogging is a great example of social media marketing. Make sure that you take advantage of owning a blog to market your products and services to consumers. Post regularly on your blog so you can get exciting information out to the world, but also to remind people that you exist and so does your blog. People tend to forget about blogs that aren’t often updated as they lose interest and move on.
?YouTube
YouTube is a very popular option for social media marketing. It offers the interesting opportunity of making videos relating to your company and putting in your company’s website link or contact information. Make sure you tag each video properly and write a description that is informative as well as inviting to consumers.
Whatever your choice is for social media marketing, make sure that you use correct grammar.? Though it may be? tempting to use abbreviations such as LOL or LMAO, remember that you are trying to come across as a professional who knows a lot about his or her company. Do your best to spell everything correctly and use punctuation where it is needed.
If you already run, or are considering starting your own business,you should? follow the advice given here. Social media will open a world of opportunities and profits that only require time and focus. Remain updated with the newest advancements in the online world and always stay ahead of the competition.
When it comes to building your??business online, you need to understand the different types of internet?traffic?so that you put the right offers in front of the right people at the right time.
You have to think about internet traffic in the way that you think about dating someone. ?Generally speaking, you can’t just meet someone and ask them for their hand in marriage. ?It’s a process. ?First you introduce yourself to them, after some time you might ask them out for a date. ?Then after sometime dating you have warmed them up to the point where you can propose marriage. ? Potential customers and partners are the same way. ?You have to warm those customers – that internet traffic up to you.?In this article we are going to cover the three types of internet traffic that you will encounter while building your business on line.
?Cold Traffic
Warm Traffic
Hot Traffic
Cold Internet Traffic
The first type of traffic that you will encounter is “Cold Traffic”. ?Cold traffic is traffic to your web site, blogs offerings that no nothing about you at all. ?They are not aware of your brand, your offerings your business. ?They are complete strangers and generally speaking will not be inclined to buy from and have not opted-in to your list.
Warm Internet Traffic
Warm Traffic consists of people who have an idea of what you offer. ?They may have seen some of your blog posts, or videos. ?They are familiar with your brand and are beginning to know like and trust you.
Hot Internet Traffic
This type of internet traffic consist of people who know like and trust you. ?They have opted in to your list and have possibly bought something from you. ?You can divide this internet traffic into to types – ?Those who have opted in to your list, but have not yet become paying customers, and those who have become buyers of your products and services.
One of your jobs as a marketer is to expose yourself to more and more people and to warm those people up to your products, services and opportunity. ?In this way you can make sales, build a team and grow your business.
Advertising your network marketing business?costs money yes, but how else are you going to get a business network going, or promote a product without it?
A lot of network marketers fail to grasp this at the beginning and miss many opportunities to make a major income.
Advertising is an investment and the method of advertising should be chosen cautiously and monitored for efficacy continually. It is very easy to lose a lot of cash with ineffectual advertising!
Just like any business online and off, network marketing advertising is one of the keys to success, it can often be confusing online especially with the other millions of internet sites, blogs and ads all competing against you and unless your product is completely new and unique, you are going to be forced to learn where to put your advertising.
Create a Budget for Advertising ?Your Network Marketing Business
The very first thing you have to do is determine a plan for advertising. Set a budget for your advertising, be practical and, after you find the best mode of advertising for your business, you may then increase your monthly budget.
Most people that are new to network marketing only have small budgets, but the good news is that there are dozens of alternative ways to publicize for free online, some are effective and some are downright pointless. Keep experimenting and find what does it for you. Advertising your products in the wrong place may very well cause more harm than good to your business.
The following are the results that you should try to get by looking at advertising your network marketing business:
1. It should be bringing you a wave of leads
2. It is going to be a medium for you to publicize your product
3. It will be a method for branding your company and growing brand awareness
4. It should be a route for you to effectively close sales.
The very best free advertising is naturally word of mouth, so generating interest about your product or service is dependent upon you.
Blogs, forums and social networking sites are excellent places for gaining exposure for your company but though these methods are free, they must be done scrupulously and consistently.
You shouldn’t get on Twitter or Facebook and immediately start screaming about your brand, way too many people do this and they’re ignored. Posting on Twitter each couple of minutes is also a no-no, you will be branded as a nuisance which isn’t the kind of branding you would like.
Remember these are social sites, so the whole idea is to be sophisticated and sociable about using them for advertising your network marketing business. If you went to a party and knew no-one there, you would never be able to grow a relationship if all you did was scream about your product.
In the beginning you’ll have to rely on others for referrals, which is also an extremely valuable methodology of getting leads both online and off-line. Make a point of developing a relationship with the person that gives you these referrals. Nobody is going to hand you what is basically a pot of money, without getting something in turn.
If you own a brick and mortar business or are doing off-line marketing, you should start gathering email addresses and building a list.
List-building is one thing that many don’t understand particularly off-line firms – a great amount of information can be gathered together by doing a direct mail-out, but the disadvantage is it is really pricey and can often be ineffectual.
The nice thing is, if you can somehow get folks to fill in a card, or leave an e-mail address when they come into your shop or business, you can then spend time to compile these email addresses into a list for future campaigns to advertise your network marketing business. The right way to build a list of email addresses is to give value for worth i.e. Offer something of worth for their e-mail address, which might be a coupon or a free dessert – whatever’s acceptable.
It’s often a good idea to study the whole concept of network marketing before starting your advertising campaign. There’s a great deal of psychology behind selling effectively and if you don’t understand the basics of network marketing advertising you may very well fail in your advertising efforts.
MLM Lead System Pro is one of the most well-received marketing systems to come on the market recently.
It covers network marketing advertising and lead generation, and is written for new and struggling network marketing professionals and and is packed with info and beneficial ideas.
Lead generation is the name of the game for building any type of business both offline and online so having a good lead generation process is crucial to the final success of your business.
However,?not all lead generation processes are equal in quality. A lower quality lead generation process can end?up costing a business much more than it may appear to at the start.
For example, if the leads being generated are not properly qualified during the process of marketing, the company will have wasted money and time on disinterested and unqualified clients.
The advertising rate of response plunges, and the organization’s income decreases, which is a pattern that will finally produce cataclysmic results.
Lead generation is going to be something you have got to do every day and you’ve got to learn how to generate quality leads efficiently. Offline you will spend a lot of hours meeting prospects and driving to and from appointments and making calls. If one of your systems of prospecting is gathering paper via forms and fliers, all this info needs to be interpreted and transcribed into a database. More info in the form of leaflets has to be mailed and then there’s the qualifying process that must be gone through, adding more time and cost. Back office staff in the sales department then has to process the lead through to hopefully a successful closing.
Online lead generation appears much simpler at first glance ,
nonetheless those that own their own network marketing or multi-level business know that this is not necessarily so. Such individuals know that this kind of lead generation can be expensive and time intensive as they’re fishing in huge ocean of consumers who have never heard about their business.
There are few companies that don’t need a preliminary investment to get it going, and glaringly the more capital you can invest the faster your business can take off and that may mean outsourcing the tedious jobs or things you are not capable of doing yourself. Advertising at some point will always pull in more leads, but only if it’s done right .
If you have built your beautiful website and you follow all of the tried and tested methods of success, like adding articles regularly, answering emails promptly, employing autoresponders and having an outstanding opt-in box, and you have built hundreds of back-links thru article submissions, blogs and social media sites, why the hey aren’t you making any cash?
Too many folks in internet marketing simply give up at that point and join the bulk of others who have failed. ?You will finish up waiting in a line?for a job behind individuals who are much more experienced than you are.
So what to do? Buy leads?
Good luck with that. Even if you can find a credible company that may give you fresh, qualified leads, you’ll pay thru the nose for them, whether you convert them to sales or not. Your profits are quickly sliding away and you can not raise the cost of your product, because then nobody will be interested.
How about a lead generation system that has been proved to work for thousands and is simple to implement and allows you to stay in charge of your business? No passing the lead around like a squalling baby it’s yours from start to finish.
What about a system that keeps you on the leading edge of cutting edge and effective lead generation that may put your business back on its feet fast? ?My Lead System Pro is such a system, it provides you with all the tools and training that you need to start generating 10-20 leads each day. ? Try it now for only $10.
When I first started my Network Marketing business, like so many new Network Marketing Business owners, I was excited?about my new venture and wanted to share it with everyone that I came in contact with. ?So with business cards in hand , I would go to shopping centers and coffee shops approaching complete strangers and trying to immediately share my new opportunity with them. ?The offline strategies taught me by my upline tended to work when prospecting toe-to-toe, but somehow didn’t seem to translate when I started marketing online. ? But I finally found a system that helped me to begin to master online network marketing. ?In the process I discovered the following 10 do’s and don’ts of online network marketing…
The 5 DON?Ts of Online ?Network Marketing
1. Don’t Spam Friends and Family With Business Pitches
This might be the first thing that you’re tempted to do when you start prospecting on social media: sending out private messages to friends and family asking them to take a look at the business, or listen to a presentation… ?Everything that you post, communicates something about your state of mind and the state of your business. ?By spamming your friends and family are are telling them that you are desperate and that you need their help. ?No wants to be on a sinking ship, and spam communicates that your business is sinking fast!
2. Don’t Send Unsolicited Links
Have you ever had your phone ring and when you answer the phone it’s some automated system trying to sell you something? ?And when you hang up, the system just keeps calling you back? ?Yeah, nobody likes that, especially on social media.Social media is about being social. ?People don’t go on Facebook, or Twitter, or Instagram (etc., etc.) looking to buy products. ?They go on to connect with family and friends and see what’s going on in the world.
That doesn’t mean that people won’t buy from you on social media. ?It just means that you have to learn how to do it the right way. ?And sending unsolicited links to people is not the way to do it.?
3. Don’t Lead With Your Wallet
When you first joined your business opportunity, I bet that you were so excited that you wanted to share the products and the business with everyone. ?If you were like me, then your upline even needed to slow you down and train you a little bit before you ran off like a runaway rocket with no?direction.
You’re pumped about the products and you know that what you’re doing can help not only you and your family, but others as well.
That’s how?everyone starts. ?And most people, unless they’ve been trained well by someone who’s already seen success, will go onto social media and lead with their wallet.
What does that mean?
That means that they pitch anyone and everyone in sight. ?They pitch the products and the business with the end goal of filling up their wallet.
In fact, you may be “leading with your wallet” and not even realize it, but if you look back it?ll become clear that some of your initial posts?are centered solely around your business and why people should join/buy your products?
?without you ever learning if who you?re targeting would benefit.
4. DON?T Post Pictures of Cash or Cars
This screams “I’m desperate! Please Join my Business Opportunity!” ?You should avoid these types of posts at all costs because they reveal you as an amatuer and are just not effective. ?These types of posts are also annoying , unprofessional and give those of us in the MLM industry a bad name. ? Though these types of posts may attract a few people , they repel most.
5. DON?T Spam FB Groups with Links to Your Opportunity
Okay, I?ll keep this one short. Stop spamming FB groups because it?s just bad for the whole industry. You?re giving people more reason to hate MLM because of this very unprofessional behavior. Learn how to respect the FB group?s rules. If a group is about investing, then stick to investing topics. If the group is about photography, then stick to photography posts.
If you’ve done any of these things already (I know I did when I first started!) then don’t worry…. Just take a few minutes to switch gears and focus on the RIGHT WAY to build a network marketing business online.
? This is a question that we often get asked. And the answer of course is “Definitely Not!” Though MLM and pyramid schemes may seem to share some similarities, there’s a BIG difference which makes MLM legal and pyramiding ILLEGAL. In pyramid…
Marketing is an essential aspect of ?your Network Marketing Business. As a network marketer, marketing your website and your business helps you to build your team and achieve your sales goals.

#5 Printing
Make flyers, brochures and business cards and post them around town. Post them in coffee shops. Ask physicians, dentists and other service providers if you can leave them for their clients. Post them on community boards and in places of worship.
#6 Swag
Use your own products and use them blatantly. Don?t hesitate to share the swag. Help your customers promote you by offering them conversation pieces.

#7 Partnering
Partner with other direct sales consultants and promote each other. You can even have double parties.
#8 Charity
Participate or host charity drives or fundraisers. Donate a portion of your profits to charity.
#9 Referrals

#10 Networking
Don?t forget the value of your local small business association, chamber of commerce and other networking groups. These groups are great for making connections and learning better ways of doing business.
When it comes to marketing your network marketing?or?direct sales?business, use your imagination. Take advantage of your resources too. These ten ideas are just the beginning.
Back a few years ago, before the big Dot Com Bust, public speaking and Internet marketing were a world apart. Today, however, with the new Web 2.0, the two have come together like nobody ever dreamed that they could. Not that during the old days marketers…
If you stick around network marketers?for long, you will find that there are a bunch of sayings that seem to be repeated everyday and throughout the industry… ?“You Are In Business for For Yourself but not by Yourself”...? “It takes a team to make the Dream!”,? and one of my favorites… “You need to become a product of the product!”
But what exactly does becoming a product of the product mean, and why is it important to your ?mlm success?
1. Build Your Story…
MLM?success is all about presenting your story and successes to those who are part of your network because those people already know, like and trust you. ?So, if you were to go to your Uncle Bob, or Cousin Sue, who noticed that you had lost weight and they started asking you what you were doing, you could tell them your story about how you were using product X and if they wanted to try it, you could “hook them up!” ?So the first reason for becoming a product of the product is that by using the products of your company, and getting a positive result, you then are able to develop your own story that proves the value and effectiveness of your products in addressing the problems of ?your prospective customers.
2. MLM Success Tip: Build Your Enthusiasm about Your?Products
One of the basic premises of sales is that in order to sell anything, you have to believe in the product that you are selling. ?Imagine going to a burger joint and being served by a Vegan who couldn’t stand the sight or smell of meat and had nothing but negative things to say about meat and those who ate it… ? You probably wouldn’t stay long or at the very least you would ask for another waiter right. ?Well as a network marketing professional, how can you pass on your enthusiasm for the product lines that you are representing if you know nothing about your products and don’t have any personal experiences ?or enthusiasm about your own product line. ?Enthusiasm is contagious… And ?In sales, your enthusiasm is contagious ? and if you don’t have any enthusiasm about your products, where will your customers get it from?
3. When you are a product of the product you become?a walking billboard for your Product line.
I’ve always been a student of the martial arts, and at one point, I had moved to a new area and was seeking a new instructor. ?I went to this one instructor and watched his class… He was overweight, out of shape and his techniques were sloppy… ? He was a product of his product,?his product SUCKKED and I wanted no part of it!
I then went to another studio, and the Sensei was an older gentleman, who at the age of 65 could perform a side kick as high and fast and hard as I could at the time ( I was 25 years old!!! ). ?Also at the time, I had already achieved the rank of 2nd degree black belt, but when I stood next to his lower ranking black belts, I looked like a beginner. I was sold! ? He and his students, were products of his product and his product was FRIGGIN AWESOME!
So when you are a product of your product, and your products really work, ?then your mere presence can be selling point.
4. The Economics of being a product of the product.
At some point in my past, I was bored and was in a place where they had very little reading material, but they did have one book?about MLM?success. Now, this was ?Long before I was ever interested in network marketing success but I was bored and I hate being idle so I read the book. ?The major premise behind the “becoming a product of the product” ?argument put forth by this book was that if you are a network marketer, then you are like the owner of a grocery store in that you have a line of products that you can and should purchase from yourself. ? Do you think that the owner of the grocery store goes to his competitors to purchase items that he sells in his own store… Of course not. ?He purchases from himself because it just makes economic sense.
For instance, if I routinely consume protein shakes as part of my diet, and I represent a health and wellness company which offers a protein shake of equal or ?better quality than I can find in GNC… Why wouldn’t I buy the product from my own store? ? I remember, back in the day, hearing a story about a Coca Cola employee getting fired because he was caught drinking a Pepsi product at work!
By buying from my own store, I
Again prove that I have faith in the products that I am sharing with others,
As I use the product my enthusiasm for them grow,
I develop my own success story and…
I support my own business by being a customer.
Why should anyone else support your business if you won’t?
So though the saying may seem trite and over-used in our industry, if you want MLM success, you must dedicate yourself to becoming a product of your products!

Now, let’s dive into the five key tips that will propel your network marketing journey to new heights!
Tip 1: Build Genuine Relationships
Successful network marketers understand the importance of building genuine relationships with their prospects and team members. Instead of focusing solely on sales, prioritize creating connections based on trust, respect, and mutual support. Remember, people join people, not just companies or products. By investing time in building authentic relationships, you’ll foster a loyal network that believes in your vision and is eager to work with you.
Here are some strategies to build strong relationships in network marketing:

Develop your elevator pitch: Craft a concise and compelling introduction that clearly explains who you are, what you do, and how your network marketing business can benefit others. Practice delivering your pitch until it becomes natural and authentic.
Use storytelling: Humans are wired to connect with stories. Share your personal journey, successes, and challenges to inspire and engage your audience. Stories create an emotional connection and make your message more memorable.

First up, attractive people are more interested in listening to the other person than they are in hearing themselves speak. Have you ever dated somebody who talked about themselves the whole time?
And guess what? Your prospects are the same way. Thus, if you are more interested in getting to know them than you are in talking about yourself, you will instantly become more attractive. Unfortunately, especially in business, most people immediately “throw up” all over their prospects about their product, service, or opportunity. That turns people off! If you do that, it will instantly makes you unattractive. If you’ve never heard of Jay Abraham, you should definitely study some of his stuff. He’s a great marketer.

That’s not to say that you should act flippant or not care about people. You should absolutely care about them. Instead, you need develop a little aloofness. You need to come from a posture of “divine indifference.”
Next up, and importantly, attractive people don’t operate with a hidden agenda. We probably all know somebody in our lives with a hidden agenda. Every time they do something nice for you, they expect reciprocation. They’re not doing the nice thing just because it’s nice. They’re doing it because they want – and expect – something in return. They might give you a gift, but they’re hoping you’ll post pictures and thank them on social media and say…
You have to think about internet traffic in the way that you think about dating someone. ?Generally speaking, you can’t just meet someone and ask them for their hand in marriage. ?It’s a process. ?First you introduce yourself to them, after some time you might ask them out for a date. ?Then after sometime dating you have warmed them up to the point where you can propose marriage. ? Potential customers and partners are the same way. ?You have to warm those customers – that internet traffic up to you.?In this article we are going to cover the three types of internet traffic that you will encounter while building your business on line.
Lead generation is the name of the game for building any type of business both offline and online so having a good lead generation process is crucial to the final success of your business.
is might be the first thing that you’re tempted to do when you start prospecting on social media: sending out private messages to friends and family asking them to take a look at the business, or listen to a presentation… ?Everything that you post, communicates something about your state of mind and the state of your business. ?By spamming your friends and family are are telling them that you are desperate and that you need their help. ?No wants to be on a sinking ship, and spam communicates that your business is sinking fast!
When you first joined your

Please Join my Business Opportunity!” ?You should avoid these types of posts at all costs because they reveal you as an amatuer and are just not effective. ?These types of posts are also annoying , unprofessional and give those of us in the MLM industry a bad name. ?
