MLM Success

By: Shawn Horwood

By Shawn Horwood
Unless you have been hiding under a rock or you are
fairly new to the internet, you know that there are
far too many "make money online" scams to count. Pretty much anywhere you
look there are ads that tell you that you just sign up
with these people and pay them a bunch of money, then all
you have to do is tell a couple friends to do the same and
all of a sudden you are raking in more cash than you could
have ever dreamed of. These schemes are Multi-Level-Marketing
or MLMs. Many people when they hear or read MLM they
immediately think "SCAM!" and leave. Well, often these
MLMs are scams.
The sad truth is, you can't start making 7 figures by telling
a few friends and trying to convince them to do the
same. First of all, your friends and family will think it's
a scam and will not listen to you, and if they do, then they
will have a hard time locating people for their downline.
When an MLM program states that all you have to do is tell
5 or 10 or 20 friends and then soon you'll be raking in the
cash, don't believe them. Walk away. They are just out for your
money. If an MLM program offers a great opportunity and is willing to admit
that in order to succeed you will have to work, then it is a program to consider.
Believe me, it is actually possible to make a lot of money in an MLM
program. I know of a guy here in Canada who drives people
down to Mexico and back on a bus a couple times a year and that is how
he made income. I'm pretty sure he loves his job, but it doesn't
pay that great because he doesn't state a price. He just says to
pay him whatever they think it's worth. Some groups pay him well,
but most pay him far too little. About a year ago he signed up
with an MLM program, and now he's making more money than most people
I know.
If you understand how to make an MLM work for you, then it is possible to
make 6 or 7 figures with MLMs. A lot of people will tell you that
there is no way, but I am telling you, there is! You personally can succeed
with an MLM! The first thing you need to realize when you are
trying to convince your prospects is that you can't sound desperate!
You should act like an expert, and like you don't
really need them. You need an abundance mentality. If that prospect
doesn't sign up with you then it's no big deal, you'll find another
one that's actually worth working with. Consider this: Pretend you
are a prospect and someone is trying to convince you to sign up with an
MLM program. Now, if this person is pretty much begging and pleading
with you to sign up with the program, are you going to listen? No!
Of course not! If they are desperate for your help then obviously
the program doesn't work! Instead, what if you were listening to them
and they sounded confident, they knew what they were talking about,
and they weren't bothered by your skepticism, now what would you
think? I know I would be much more likely to listen to the second
example, so that's the first thing to remember when you are
explaining your offer to prospects.
The next thing you need to realize is that people don't want to be
pitched another business opportunity. They don't want another business opportunity shoved down their throats.
They are being exposed to new business opportunities all the time on TV,
on the radio,on the internet, from friends, from strangers, everywhere!
Everyone has a business opportunity that they want them to sign up
for. So now you're probably thinking is, then how do I get them to
join? Simple. You pitch them a solution for their problem. You are not offering an
opportunity here, you are offering a solution. Let's look at it
this way, how many people purchase weight loss pills because they wanted
more weight loss pills? No one! People buy weight loss pills because they want to
lose weight! Their problem is that they are overweight, so if you
are trying to sell someone a weight loss pill you don't tell them
"Buy this weight loss pill". They have probably already tried other
weight loss pills and found that they don't usually work. Instead, you
tell them that you have a solution to their problem. You tell them that
if their goal is to lose weight, that this is how they need to do it, by
buying your pill. If you just tell them that you want them to buy your
pills, they are going to inform you that you need to go scam someone else, even if it
isn't a scam. But if you tell them that you are going to help them
achieve their weight loss goals, well then that's a completely different story! People
will be much more inclined to listen to you if you tell them a
solution to their problems. Mike Dillard says: "No one who bought
a drill wanted a drill, they wanted a hole". So if you are trying to
make an MLM work, remember, it is possible! Don't give up! You just
first need to remember that you need to position yourself as an
expert and you need to market a solution to a problem, not another business
or business opportunity.
Now, I am not an expert on MLMs, so I will admit that there is more to
it than what you have just read. That is just the basics. If you would
like to learn from an expert who makes 7 figures with MLMs, then please visit
my blog so you can get the full scoop about success with MLMs.
