Take A Good Look Next Time You See A Heavy Hitter

Business, Network Marketing.

Mlm heavy hitters shovel it in texas - and elsewhere - a few years ago i got a phone call from a lady in texas. It probably had a branch in your town. Sometime earlier, she had started a major corporation, whose name you know.

It' s since been bought out by an even bigger fish. - she was going to start an mlm company, and she wanted feedback from some mlm leaders on what she was doing. Anyway, this lady was very gracious. She flew Linda& me to what must have been the biggest ranch in all of Texas. The Big Boys( and Girls) were flabbergasted by her wonderful products and astonished by her compensation plan. We were there 3 days, along with several MLM" Heavy Hitters" . ** They Told Her She Had a HUGE Winner! *** She showed us her products and she showed us her compensation plan, and she asked for our thoughts.

Every single one of them wanted to be THE master distributor, so she would build the company under them. ** The Painful Truth* ** When my turn came, I told her the truth: she was dead in the water. - and her compensation plan was from the dark ages of mlm, piling up money for the leaders and sacrificing all the part - timers who would hope to fulfill their lifelong dream of having their own business. She had a bunch of" me - too" products. With this comp plan, the part - timers were destined to fail. They would blame themselves, and many would never take the risk again. They' d never understand why.

Dora( not her real name) pulled me aside before we left and thanked me. - she stuck to the business she knew. Somehow, despite all the smoke coming from the MLM Heavy Hitters, she knew Truth when she heard it. But if the Heavy Hitters would try pulling that stuff with one of the richest women in the country, imagine what they' d figure they could put over on YOU! ** Have You Fallen For The All - Time Favorite Heavy Hitter Line? *** Tell me you' ve never heard THIS one before: "Go get one hundred NO' s every day. Isn' t it the stupidest thing? You' re just getting closer to a YES. " Think about this.

What nitwit came up with this idea? - picture this: all day long you' ve been flirting with your spouse. The word" NO" has taken more good people out of network marketing that any other word in the English language. At night you take a bath, candles around the tub, perfect for romance, soft music. And your spouse says" NO! " GREAT! Some hugging, some kissing. Just 99 more" NO" s and you' ll get lucky!

There' s an old saying you hear from time to time: the reason you have 2 ears and 1 mouth is you should LISTEN twice as much as you TALK. - and those mlm heavy hitters tell you" no" is a good thing. ** more heavy hitter marketing insanity* ** another bit of wonderful hitter advice for you: "talk to everybody about your business opportunity. " oh, man, don' t get me started! Take a good look next time you see a Heavy Hitter. But for the sake of argument, let' s see where their advice leads us. I swear, if you look closely, you' ll see they have zero ears and THREE MOUTHS! Let' s say you owned a shoe store.

If you have the right styles, colors, & price, could you sell some shoes? - you get 300 visitors. Absolutely. Not appropriate. But you' d never try fitting a corporate Secretary working at the Trump Towers with men' s construction work boots. And not everyone wants your business opportunity. "Talk to everybody" works great for the MLM Heavy Hitters - the 8% of the population who are salespeople.

Lead with benefits. - but if you' re part of the 92% who hate pushy, this lie will, aggressive salespeople make you feel totally inadequate to ever build a networking business. ** the key is target marketing* ** if you' re recruiting, just talk to people who want a home business. Tell success stories so that REAL prospects see the value in your offer. Just offer them more information. And NEVER close them. The right people will ask to work with you.

Believe me, it works just that way.
