The #1 Virus That is Killing Network Marketing…and How to Avoid It

uncertainty

: the quality or state of being uncertain

: something that is doubtful or unknown : something that is uncertain


Uncertainty Will NOT Allow Success.  Uncertainty Will NOT Allow Momentum!  Uncertainty IS THE BIGGEST DREAM STEALER!

Eric Tippetts


FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, and DOUBT pervade the average person’s everyday thoughts and many people spend an enormous amount of time thinking about these “what might happen” scenarios, especially in Network Marketing.

It’s a very interesting theme to continually see in the Network Marketing profession.  You have so many captivated by the benefits of:

1. Small amount of risk: There is a certain amount of inherited risk involved when you become an entrepreneur.

We are confronted with losing money, wasting time, not being in profit right away, etc. In a traditional brick and mortal business, the startup cost associated with opening that business is what holds many people back from becoming the creators of their own destiny.

People do not like risk and try to avoid it by all means. We’d like a “guaranteed bet” and stay within “our safe zone”. In business, you don’t eliminate risks you learn to minimize them.

The advantage of starting an MLM Program is that there is a small risk to get started. With a couple of hundred dollars, it is possible to get started with a company of your choice, marketing products that you consume already. The amount of financial commitment is insignificant compared to that of traditional business.

2. A huge demand for good quality products: There are a myriad of network marketing companies that promote very good products. If I were considering a company to get involved with, I would always ask myself:

  • Would I still consume these products/services if there were no opportunity to market them?
  • Do these products bring any benefits to a consumer besides the opportunity to make money?
  • Would I bring “value” to my customers if they consume these products?

Every business needs repeat customers. Distributors only get paid when they have consumers for their products and when these customers continue that consumption, then that creates the money flow.

3. Residual income: I am sure that you pay your gas, your electricity, and your phone bill every single month. These are the types of services that for the most part provide an ongoing stream of residual income for these companies.

The greatest advantage of an MLM Program is that it gives you an opportunity to enjoy residual income just like those companies do.

When the initial effort of getting a new customer is completed, you can enjoy the residual part of that business relationship.

We are so used to trading our time for wedges that we often times don’t see the potential residual income of an MLM Affiliate Program. By direct selling your products, you can also claim your share of the residual income pie.

4. The income potential: There is no cap on how much money you can generate. In my corporate jobs, my big limitation was that regardless how hard I worked for these companies; my income was tied to a “market standard” for someone with my skills.

In an MLM Program, that’s not the case. It is up to you to decide how much you want to earn. An MLM company doesn’t hold you back in the same way the corporate environment does.

As long as you have the skills set of a trained network marketer, you make whatever income based on your stamina, dedication, and your willingness to help others.

The skills set is key. Once you trained yourself to become a marketer, you can market anything you choose and generate that income you seek.

5. No employees to hire: By far, this is a clear advantage over traditional businesses. An mlm affiliate program is a business of people independently working together.

Without any employees, it’s possible to build a business right from home. This industry gives you that added benefit, be in business without employees concerns, by having a network of independent business owners working together towards a common goal.

6. No inventory: Traditionally Network Marketing companies would have distributors stack up on inventory. This concept alone has given the industry a bad wrap for years.

However, modern companies do capitalize on the technology and tools we have in place. We have:

  • Internet Telephony
  • The Internet
  • Drop Shipping Ability
  • Consumer Leads
  • Conference Lines
  • Web Conference
  • High Speed Internet Access

Not having to inventory products will make your business more agile to any market condition.

7. Low operating Costs: The network marketing model makes possible to run a business at low costs compared to any other business model.

This is where your upline’s support should come in. A good upline mentor should allow you to piggyback on his expertise, on his knowledge, on his leads, and help you generate the funds to pay off your initial investment and get in profit early in the life of your business.

8. Leverage: Your MLM Program is a:

  • people business
  • business of appointments
  • business of helping consumers find what they have the need for
  • business of helping others create businesses.

You reap the rewards by leveraging the efforts of those you help. This develops a collective mindset that promotes “win-win” relationships.

9. Portability: With the advent of technology, we can do today what distributors 15 years ago could not do and that’s to make our business portable.

We now have a phone technology that allows you to take your telephone and move it anywhere you like transparently to your customers.

As long as you have access to the Internet via DSL or Cable, you can take your computer, your phone, and continue doing business while you are on the road, on vacation, or visiting relatives whether that be in another city or another country!

10. The attainable freedom: Imagine having a productive business in network marketing providing you with a lifestyle that only the rich and famous enjoy. When all the pieces are in place, the life of a marketer can be very fulfilling indeed.

That’s the dream every new distributor chases and it is only attainable when there is a clear understanding of how to get there and when your marketing skills are sharp.

It is not just the money, but the fulfillment of a lifestyle that makes an MLM Affiliate Program the best business to get in and your skills is what make it happenArticle Submission, period!

With all of these amazing benefits that a new Network Marketer is provided….why is there ANY uncertainty?  Be certain to at least pay for your monthly subscription or auto-ship but be certain to make it work or don’t start at all!

I wish you all the amazing success being an Entrepreneur provides and the amazing journey of owning your life and responsible for as big as you want to be!

Are You “Too Busy” To Recognize a $3.5 Million Dollar Violin? Amazing Experiment!

Washington Post Experiment

In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.  After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing.  He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.

Washington Post Experiment

About 4 minutes later:

The violinist received his first dollar. A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.

At 6 minutes:

A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

At 10 minutes:

A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head the whole time. This action was repeated by several other children, but every parent – without exception – forced their children to move on quickly.

At 45 minutes:

The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.

After 1 hour:

He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed and no one applauded. There was no recognition at all.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold-out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100 each to sit and listen to him play the same music.

Joshua Bell, playing incognito in the D.C. Metro Station, was organized by Gene Weingarten from the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people’s priorities.  Weingarten won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing for his article on the experiment.

This experiment raised several questions:

*In a common-place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?

*If so, do we stop to appreciate it?

*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:

If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made . . . How many other things are we missing as we rush through life?

Everyday we wake up, we have a choice of how we want to shape our future.  I watch so many people go to “JOBS” they are not happy with and moving quickly towards a life of mediocrity.  WHY?

Because we are stuck?  We are too busy to change paths?  We need the guaranteed paycheck?

I don’t agree with these “excuses”.  We all have time to fulfill our dreams, goals, desires…it just takes focus and desire and the willingness/openness to SEE the opportunities that will lead us to these goals.

So many of us have our eyes open but are not seeing anything because we don’t want too.

Start your day and do a different routine.  Drive to work a different way.  Eat lunch somewhere different.  Drive home a different way.  Do a different routine at night.  Sleep on the other side of the bed.

It’s called a “Pattern Break”.  It forces our thinking to see different things that we might not have seen because we are living on cruise control.

I want the BEST for you!  Take time everyday for you.

Much Love!  I believe in YOU!

The Art of Fulfillment – Are You Truly Happy?

The Art of Fulfillment: the art of finding joy in the process of whatever life brings; the power to understand, appreciate, and enjoy our lives at the deepest level.

Whether it’s creating outstanding health and vitality, attaining the competitive advantage in your business, deepening your relationships, or taking your finances to the next level.

Do you find yourself overlooking your accomplishments but always chasing what you don’t have?

Your not alone.  Sadly, this is true for most of the world’s population.  With the media exploiting what others have, we become wired to desire more, want more, need more, wish more….we forget how much we really do have and how blessed each of us are in our own way.

Be Happy with What You Have, While You Pursue What You Want!

In the video I talk about the story of Robin Williams, the famous comedian, actor, director, husband, and father.  In so many ways Robin was so blessed with what most people would want but in the end, he took his own life.

How?

Why?

No one will ever really know but from the outside it comes down to not being fulfilled in life or at least the feeling of not being fulfilled.  Never feeling adequate.  Never feeling like you have accomplished enough.  Never enough.

I truly believe that if most of us threw our bag of problems in the middle and looked at how many problems others have or what level their problems are at…we would grab our own bag of problems and run away, happy!  Lol!  Sounds funny but in reality, the more money you make….the bigger problems you are solving.

Your problem solving skills typically equals the amount of money you make.  Not in all cases but typically the biggest problem solvers rise to the top and the money follows.

Can you succeed in life and still not be fulfilled? How many times in your life have you achieved what you set out to do and then a short time later thought, “Is this all there is?” There is a formula for success –called the science of achievement – which is the process of taking your dreams and making them real. But living a fulfilled life is an art, not a science.

What is fulfilling for one person may be boring to another, therefore fulfillment comes in as many textures as there are human beings. However, you must learn what makes you fulfilled because here’s the truth:

Success Without Fulfillment is The Ultimate Failure



So how do we find fulfillment?

There are universal elements of fulfillment and the number one element is that we must grow. If we don’t grow, we won’t be fulfilled. The second is that you must contribute beyond yourself. If our goals are only to serve ourselves, then achieving our goals will only make us happy for a moment. But if your mission is to serve others, then not only will you leave a legacy of giving, but you will be more fulfilled in life.

The point is this: What will make you fulfilled is to grow and to give.

Learning the art of fulfillment will allow you to create an extraordinary life for yourself and your family.  Starting Today!

So Much Love and Fulfillment!

3 Emotions That Cause People to Take Action (without Rejections)

3 Emotions That Cause People to Take Action or Join Your MLM (Without Rejection)

You don’t know it yet, but in the next 5 minutes you are going to discover how to “Eliminate – MLM Objections“, Eliminate –  “I Can’t Afford It”, Eliminate –  “I don’t have the time”.

Let me ask you a personal question.  Are you caught in the never ending struggle of overcoming MLM objections – “I can’t afford it”… “I don’t have the time”…”Is this one of those MLM’s? No one makes money except for the people at the top…..the list goes on and on.

Are you finding it impossible to get any traction with building a team?

Would you love to meet a prospect on an airplane and within 5 minutes having them beg you to join your business?

Well, that is exactly what happened to me by implementing knowledge you are about to discover today and with tools that help “credibalize” (Lol…I made that word up….meaning – give credibility to your information).

Watch this quick video for an example of MLM Recruiting Success in less than 5 minutes on airplane:

That example happened in less than 5 minutes.  She actually gave me a hug when we got off the plane thanking me.  That’s exciting and powerful MLM Recruiting!

The Rocket Recruiting App I talk about in this video,  I just did a “Rejection Free MLM Recruiting” Webinar (click on image for instant access):

Ok, now let’s get started on the emotion side….

There are only 3 “triggers” that will cause someone to take action or join your MLM / Network Marketing business:

1. Pain

2. Gain

3. Fear

The key is tapping into one or more of these key “emotions” or “triggers”. If you don’t…no one is taking any action.

The challenge is 97% of Network Marketers struggle trying to “sell” on the gain emotion. Money, Dreams, Cars, recognition, etc…
This is the LEAST motivating for the long term…let me explain. I can get someone excited to buy as I have them in an emotional state of “Hope-ium”…. all the wonderful things they are going to get by joining my Network Marketing business…but as we all know, it takes time to build a business and what emotion kicks in when they get their first “no”?

Fear…right? “oh, my gosh this is going to be harder than I thought”….Wow, can I really succeed?What if I fail?Did I make the right decision?….Can I get my money back?…etc….

Just remember this one simple fact: “People Buy Emotionally, BUT, They Justify Factually”.

Meaning, unless it makes me money or provides some kind of return that is tangible, people will go into a fear state of mind and cancel…that is why the Network Marketing profession is a revolving door for many companies because they focus so much on the product and giving a new Distributor “sales material” and “product” and say “great job…now go out and build your business” but not giving the new distributor any tools to run, oh yeah, the BUSINESS….THIS IS A BUSINESS, IF YOU RUN IT LIKE A BUSINESS, IT WILL PAY YOU LIKE A BUSINESS…unless you are just a consumer of the product.

That is why I teach, Fear is a much greater motivator….go create some! One of the biggest fears is losing my MONEY!

So, if I can show you that everyday you go work your 9-5 job AND lose approx. $300-$500/month in taxes by not having a home business…basically working the first 3-4 months of each year for NOTHING.

Did I also hit “pain” with this last sentence: You are basically working the first 3-4 months per year to pay taxes.  Would anyone get angry at that?  Would anyone feel “pain” with that?  Of course they would!  I would too!

I want to be clear.  I do not advocate tax evasion or not paying your fair share in taxes BUT NOT A PENNY MORE!

Now, instead of trying to “sell” my products, I am sharing great information that can save my prospect money each month WHILE giving them the ability to share that great information and make money on top of the money saved.

I have now shifted the power from the buyer to me, the sharer. Everyone will want to know how to KEEP $300-$500/month immediately but you will always hit the “money obstacle” when you ask them to SPEND $300-500 to join your business.

Make Sense?  The Rocket Recruiting App is a simple way to show this estimated savings:

Most people are not sales reps, networkers, outgoing….you need to quickly show them how to get out of the mindset of selling and start helping others get a raise in their 9-5 job by joining your business…this gives them a way to be profitable month 1 and keep them in the business long enough to learn the ropes, comp plan, and talking product with others.

Remember, Network Marketing/Direct Sales is a profession of duplication and unless you can give your team a “non-threatening” and without any reputational risk to introduce to their network, you will find yourself constantly pumping up the balloon that keeps deflating!

To The Top!

Much Love,

If you would like to learn more on the mindset of a successful Entrepreneur’s from around the world, get a copy of my new book – “To The Top – Simple Everyday Steps to Succeed Financially”.

Network Marketing is a Journey of Personal Development…with a Comp Plan

One of the best descriptions for “Network Marketing” that I heard the whole weekend at Network Marketing Pro – Eric Worre event –

“Network Marketing is a Journey of Personal Development…with a Comp Plan”

I truly believe Network Marketing / MLM / Multi-Level Marketing / Direct Selling as a whole gets a bad wrap.  I also believe this comes from a lack of understanding of the value being an Entrepreneur can provide a person and family.  In traditional business you get a job and become comfortable in your job position and what you do day in and day out.  Traditional business environments do not push you to become better, to evolve, to grow financially, mentally, and spiritually.

Why?

Because typically people (and especially people above you) are uncomfortable when someone else is growing and they’re not.  They don’t want you to outgrow them.  Out pace them.  Out shine them!

This is so different in Network Marketing.  You only succeed when you grow….when you help others below you grow and become better.  How cool is that!!

Also, being an Entrepreneur for over 20 years and understanding all the facets of starting and running a traditional business.  It’s tough!  Why do most businesses fail within 3-5 years?  Because there are so many things you have to worry about that in Network Marketing you do not.

Let’s analyze a few of the simple headaches that Network Marketing eliminates vs traditional business model.

1. Small amount of risk: There is a certain amount of inherited risk involved when you become an entrepreneur.

We are confronted with losing money, wasting time, not being in profit right away, etc. In a traditional brick and mortal business, the startup cost associated with opening that business is what holds many people back from becoming the creators of their own destiny.

People do not like risk and try to avoid it by all means. We’d like a “guaranteed bet” and stay within “our safe zone”. In business, you don’t eliminate risks you learn to minimize them.

The advantage of starting a Network Marketing business is that there is a small risk to get started. With a couple of hundred dollars, it is possible to get started with a company of your choice, marketing products that you consume already. The amount of financial commitment is insignificant compared to that of traditional business.

We are so used to trading our time for wages that we often times don’t see the potential residual income of Network Marketing. By direct selling your products, you can also claim your share of the residual income pie.

4. The income potential: There is no cap on how much money you can generate. In my corporate jobs, my big limitation was that regardless how hard I worked for these companies; my income was tied to a “market standard” for someone with my skills.

In an Network Marketing, that’s not the case. It is up to you to decide how much you want to earn. A Network Marketing company doesn’t hold you back in the same way the corporate environment does.

As long as you have the skills set of a trained network marketer, you make whatever income based on your stamina, dedication, and your willingness to help others.

The skills set is key. Once you trained yourself to become a marketer, you can market anything you choose and generate that income you seek.

  • business of appointments
  • business of helping consumers find what they have the need for
  • business of helping others create businesses.

MLM Recruiting Secret – “Striplining”. How The Pro’s Sell

“Striplining” is a fisherman’s term… it is the difference between a Pro Fisherman and Amateur Fisherman.

This technique is also used as an MLM recruiting strategy. It is the difference between you pushing people away from your business, and having them chase you down to join!

This is one of the most powerful technique’s I teach…this will change your MLM Recruiting results!

The key concept is “posturing” with your prospect.  You need to get in the right mindset as you are approaching prospects that you have something your prospect needs, wants, and desires.  If you don’t believe this with 100% commitment, you will come across un-certain.  Un-Certainty is the #1 killer of Network Marketers.

That is why I built the Rocket Recruiting App.  I wanted to give you an instant, easy way to open up the door to “why” a prospect needs a home business or they are losing money every month on each paycheck, then quantify an estimation for your prospect.

This way it gives you the power.  You have the information your prospect desires….how to keep more of their hard earned money on each paycheck…and you hold the keys.

Second, I see so many people get into some kind of Home Business with the expectations of instant success and returns.

Remember, building a business takes time and commitment.

One commitment is staying in the game and growing a thick skin to handle the word “NO”.

Here is the Truth about prospecting and how quickly people give up.

Print this and commit to yourself to BEAT these odds!

You Are As Good As You Believe You Are!


                     The Truth


80% of all sales are made after the fifth call

48% of all salespeople make one call and quit

25% of all salespeople call twice and quit

17% of all salespeople call three times and quit

10% of all salespeople keep calling

 80% of all sales are made by 10% of all salespeople

Which Are You? The 80% that Quit or the 10% that Commit to Success!!

This is the main reason I built the Rocket Recruiting App for Network Marketers.  I wanted to shift the mindset from “selling” to “giving” with a lending hand by showing money that your prospect could be losing and you have the solution to help them start keeping their hard earned money.

Go make a positive difference in someone’s life today!

So much love,

Eric
