How To Get Your First MLM Signup In 24 Hours Or Less

...And I'm not counting "yourself".

I mean a real, new, living, breathing, paying CUSTOMER. So next week (or next month, whenever your company pays)... you can say:

"LOOK, HONEY. MY FIRST COMMISSION CHECK!"

Here's how to do it, step by step---
  • Think of somone who OWES you. They can owe you money, or just a favor--- either way, heres a chance to COLLECT.
  • (Key point) It must be somebody who HAS MONEY. At least enough to make the purchase you want them to.
  • (Other key point) They must have their own address. It cannot be somebody who already lives with you. Because that's just a cop-out.
  • Whatever you offer them must be something they already spend money on. (Doesn't matter what it is.)
  • You must have it available at a LOWER PRICE.
  • So ask them, "Hey, will you do me a favor?"
  • (They owe you. So they'll say "Yes", or at least "What?")
  • If they say "no", say, "Remember, YOU OWE ME."
  • If they're a decent human being, they'll be EAGER to help you. So now it's time for you to make that easy.
  • Say, "It's not gonna cost you anything. It'll probably SAVE you some money."
  • (No way they can say no to this. Their mind is now open, and their guard is now down. Now you can basically just "close" the sale.)
  • Say, "You know that (whatever you're selling) that you're paying for all the time? I just went into the (name of product) business. So if you'll just go to my website and buy it from me, you can save some money and I'll make a commission. Would you mind?"
  • Most likely, they won't mind. Especially if you're saving them money!
If this strategy won't work with your business, that may be a sign that your business is too difficult. Even if YOU can do it, most of the people you sign up will have a difficult time.

Former MLM Company Owner Reveals Inside Secrets

I owned and ran an MLM company in 2004-2005. It took that experience to open my eyes about a lot of things in MLM.

For example, these 5 things will make it SIMPLE to build an MLM downline.
And these things are easy to remember, because they all start with the letter "P":

PRODUCT
  • Sell something that LOTS of people already like. That's much easier than trying to create a market for something they don't like or have never heard of.
  • So look for something that people already LIKE and WANT.
PRICE
  • Ideally, offer people something they LIKE and WANT, and show them how to BUY it at a BARGAIN PRICE. That way, you never have to deal with the objection of, "It's too expensive".
PAY PLAN
  • Most people are so dazed and confused about their "pay plan" that they can't understand it or explain it to others. The good news is that there is only ONE PAY PLAN in MLM.
  • The "plan" is to pay YOU 5%-10% of all the money "attached" to you.
  • Your company's "plan" will "cut off" for you at some point. There may be sales in your organization beyond that point, you just don't get paid on them (according to the "plan").
  • This can make it LOOK like you're making a higher percentage than you really are. DO NOT BE FOOLED.
  • You ARE being paid 5%-10% of all the dollars connected to you... no matter how many "levels" or "generations" there are.
  • If you could see ALL the sales below you, whether the company says they're in your "downline" or not... you would see that YOUR check is about 5%-10% of ALL that money.
  • And that's in actual DOLLARS, not "points" or "Bonus Volume".
  • It can't be much more than 10% unless the company lowers what it costs them to make the product, or raises the selling price. Most companies just raise the selling price, and that's why MLM products are usually expensive.
  • The best situation for you is one where the product is sold at a bargain price and YOU make your 5%-10%.
(I only know this because I owned and operated an MLM company. I have NEVER met a distributor that knew this, or a company owner who would tell me.)

POLICIES
  • A company POLICY is anything that you are required to agree to and understand. It may or may not be written. In some cases, it can just be "implied".
  • Policies are known to change without notice. It may be your responsibilty in your company to familiarize yourself with all policies.
  • ANY company can terminate you for a violation of its policies, whether you know about them or not.
  • Most people who are terminated from MLM companies are not aware that they made a violation.
  • A company may keep ALL or PART of your earnings if you violate a policy.
  • "Policies" may be known by other names, such as Policies and Procedures, Terms and Conditions, Distributor Agreement, etc.
  • Some state and federal laws require that you agree to company policies when you join as a representative. You may have signed something when you joined, or (more likely) clicked on something on the internet that says you agreed.
  • The best thing to do is READ and UNDERSTAND everything you agree to, even if it takes several hours... or several days. And ASK QUESTIONS about anything you don't understand.
  • (You may be surprised about some of the company policies you didn't know existed.)
PEOPLE
  • Your best candidates are people who are MLM-friendly. BEFORE THEY JOIN you, they must know what they're getting into and what is expected of them to be successful (Join, buy products, and influence others to do the same thing.) Otherwise they (and you) will have a VERY difficult time in MLM.
  • You need them "ASAP" (As Soon As Possible, As Simply As Possible). The simpler it is for you to explain your business to them, the better. With as few moving parts as possible. "Extra steps" (like meetings, webinars, conference calls, etc.) make the business more difficult.
Signing people up is the exciting part! It's the thrill of starting from nothing and building something huge and successful.

The challenge is talking with most people, who don't understand what's going on.

But the ones who "get it" will work and make a lot of money for you and themselves. However, they will be few and far between because of all the false information circulating around about MLM.

When you truly understand MLM, you see a big picture that most people don't. So the more you talk about that picture, the worse it gets for you, because most people don't want to hear it.

More talking doesn't increase people's understanding--- it only makes them more confused.

There's a lot to learn about MLM, but most of that learning is useless because there's only 5 things that make it work... as described in this article.

So just pay attention to the 5 "P"s, because that's all you and other people need to know.

Everything else is just "data" that won't make you (or other people) successful.

WARNING: Before You Talk To Anyone About MLM, Read THIS!!

IF you're failing in MLM, this might be the reason...

The way most people learn to build the business is to promote, promote, promote. "Be a product of the product". "Be an ambassador for the company".

So every time you see them, their middle name is the product or the company. (I'm not kidding. I see people do this all the time. "Sally 'XYZ Company' Smith", etc.)

It's on their clothes. It's on their car. They're always smiling and handing out samples or business cards. They're all over the internet telling anybody and everybody about their company or product... whether they want to hear about it or not.

Trouble is, most people don't want to hear it. But the culture of MLM has turned us into exactly what we don't want to be, which is a hypey salesperson. Most people don't like hype, and they don't want salespeople. So you talk to 100 people and 90 say "no", because they don't want to hear it.

So here's the truth: Unless people ask you what company you're with or what the product is, they don't want to hear it. And when you tell them before they ask, they think you're a hypey salesperson. And people automatically say "no" to hypey salespeople all the time.

Wouldn't it be better if people said "Yes" to your product? To your company? To your "business opportunity"? To YOU?

It's easy. DO NOT be a cheerleader for your company or product, because nobody cares.

But there are millions of people all over the world who fail in MLM, even though they pray, meditate, set goals, help people, think positively, or smile until their cheeks hurt. Because they lack ONE THING that would instantly stop their failure and frustration. Do you know what it is?

You need influence. Influence is what makes people join your company, buy your products, and influence others to do it too. No influence = no business, no matter how great the product is. And the best business in the world is worthless without people buying its products. Just ask anyone who went out of business because of a lack of sales.

So if you're not building your business, you don't have enough influence. And if you don't have enough influence, better get some QUICK.

The Only Reason For MLM Failure

If you make more than $2,000... per year... you are super successful in MLM.

The overall failure rate (according to the Direct Selling Association) has been 97%.

Failure means you made less than you spent.

A couple hundred extra dollars a month is enough to change most people's lives.

But tragically, millions of people in MLM have spent like they were going to make millions, and they ran out of money before the reality hit them.

TRUE MLM FACT: No matter what your product is, and no matter how you offer it to people, the majority of them will say no.

TRUE MLM FACT: No matter who you are, or how much recruiting power you have, the majority of your people will recruit no one.

So you will have to introduce your product to lots and lots of people to sell it to the few who say "yes".

And you will have to recruit lots and lots of people in order to find the few who will recruit somebody else.

Trying to change these truths has led to failure. Every time.

So... how will you recruit lots of people? And how will you find lots of people to sell to?

What Every Distributor Should Know About MLM

You made money last month, or you didn’t. Your downline is bigger this month, or it isn’t. So it’s working for you, or it’s not. For 97% of the people, it’s not. That’s because only a few people know how MLM really works, and they make all the money.

You can’t go wrong when you follow the right instructions. But MLM doesn’t work for 97% of the people. So if it’s not working for you… do you have the right instructions?

Your upline made money, right? So they can tell you how. But if you do what they tell you, and you don’t get a check… what happened?

Everybody wants more money. Your company offers it. So if you make that offer to someone, and they don’t take it… what went wrong?

Don't talk to strangers about MLM. Think about it like the signs at the zoo: "Do Not Feed The Bears." "Do Not Punch The Monkeys." "Do Not Tease The Alligators." Talking about MLM before someone asks you is just as stupid.

Most people don't like professional wrestling, because they don't believe in it. But the people who like it believe it a lot. Or even if they don't believe it, they like it anyway. MLM is just like that. Small group, big fans. Just stick with the fan base.

Most people don't even want to know you're in MLM, because they want no part of it. So just stick with the fan base. Don't talk about MLM to people who don't like it and don't want it.
And recruiting people away from other companies is like asking married people out on a date. Even if they're unhappy, that's still cheating. And if they'll cheat WITH you, they'll cheat ON you. So practice MLM monogamy.

MLM is just organizing the people that buy a product. That's all it is. Everybody is paid what they're worth, and gets what they pay for. The more you're worth, the more you're paid.

So the way to increase your worth in MLM is to organize more people who buy a product. Not "sell" or "advertise".

MLM can be simple, or it can be easy. But it can't be both.

Most people can't do MLM, because it's too simple. You'd be surprised how many people are losing in MLM, even if they're making money. "Making money" and "making profit" are two different things.

Try and find one person in MLM who struck it rich in their first company. And bring your lunch, because that search is gonna take a while. It's much easier to find people after their fourth or fifth company, and it's still not working. Those are the people you can help.

There are two kinds of people in MLM. 97 percent of them are not making money. If you don't know the difference between the two kinds of people, you're in that 97%.

The good news is, it's real simple to get in the 3%, when you just know how.

5)  Don’t talk to strangers about MLM. Think of it like the signs at the zoo: “Do Not Feed The Bears”. “Do Not Punch The Monkeys”. “Do Not Tease The Alligators”. Talking about MLM before someone asks you is just as stupid.

6)  Most people don’t like professional wrestling, because they don’t believe in it. But the people who like it believe.  Or even if they don’t believe it, they like it anyway. MLM is just like that. Small group, BIG fans. Stick with the fan base.

7)  Most people on Facebook don’t even want to know you’re in MLM… because they want no part of it.

8)  Easy there, Sparky. Stop posting links to your product and company. And quit inviting friends to your groups and events. Back away from the Facebook!

9)  Stick with the fan base. Don’t talk about MLM to people who don’t like it and don’t want it. Especially on Facebook.

10) There are 3-4 million people in MLM on Facebook, in the U.S. alone. So there’s plenty of people who’ll listen to you and not reject you… But where are they, what do you say to them, and when?

11) Recruiting people from other companies is like asking married people on a date. Even if they’re unhappy, that’s still cheating. If they’ll cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you. So practice MLM monogamy.

12) Lots of people like MLM. Most don’t make any money. Some people have figured out there’s really just one pay plan in MLM.

13) The only plan is to pay you 5-10% of all the money attached to you. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors. It can look like you’re making more money… but that’s really all there is.

14) MLM is just organizing the people who buy a product. Everybody’s paid what they’re worth, and gets what they pay for. The more you’re worth, the more you’re paid. How much are you worth? Why?

15) Positive attitudes are great. Everybody needs a positive attitude. But it’ll take more than that attitude to be successful. What’s the most important thing?

16) One thing makes you successful. Most people have it, but don’t even know what it is. What is it?

17) In MLM, 10-15% of the people make 85-90% of the money. So if you can’t be in the 10%, you’re toast! One thing puts you in the top 10. What is it?

18) There are two ways to “duplicate”… Add and multiply. Add with customers before you multiply with distributors. 1 x 2 = 2, but 1 +  2 = 3. So adding customers gives you more to multiply with. See?

19) It can be simple, or it can be easy. But it can’t be both.

20) Nobody is making money on permanent vacation, sitting on beaches, and playing with their laptop 15 minutes a day. Nobody! This is called net-“work”-marketing, because that’s what it is. You might as well know now.

21) If you think you’re going to make yourself into a metaphysical magnet and manipulate or hypnotize people with no work and personal contact… then you’ve got another “think” coming. Meanwhile, you look stupid.

22) Best way to kill time? Work it to death.

23) Facebook is not a rejection-free place to prospect. Just because you can’t hear them, doesn’t mean they’re not rejecting you.

24) Most people can’t do MLM, because it’s too easy. They have a psychological flaw that makes it hard.

25) You can’t say the right thing to the wrong people. And vice-versa.

26) You’d be surprised how much people are losing in MLM, even if they’re making money. “Making money” and “making profit” are 2 different things.

27) Try and find one person in MLM who struck it rich in their 1st company. And bring your lunch, because that search is gonna take you a while. It’ll be much easier to find lots of people who are in their 4th or 5th company, and it’s still not working. Those are the people you can help.

28) There are 3 kinds of people in MLM. 2 of them are not making money, but they make up 97% of the total. If you don’t know the difference in the 3 kinds of people, you’re in the 97%. The good news is, it’s real simple to get in the 3% if you just know how.

Win In MLM With The Power Of Negative Thinking

"Think positive” has been a popular saying for almost a hundred years. So why aren’t we all rich?”
 
”The Secret” is great because it’s introduced millions of people to the “law of attraction”. But what’s the secret BEHIND “The Secret”?

If mental imagery was all it took to be successful, there would be no poor people. But knowledge of the law is just the vehicle--- it’s useless without proper use and maintenance.

The law of attraction is part of a bigger science called quantum mechanics. Positive thinking alone won’t bake you a cake unless you put the right ingredients together in the correct recipe.

You will NOT get a big network marketing business by simply wishing for it. People are not going to automatically join you because your product is so hot, your compensation is so good, and a celebrity endorses your company.

Success will be the result of your influencing people to join the business, buy products monthly, and influence others to do the same thing. Simply thinking of it will NOT make is so.

Most of the people you come into contact with will NOT join your business or consume its products, let alone recommend them to others. Knowing this from the beginning prevents you from being disappointed when someone refuses to participate.

Knowing that your business is built on a small group of big fans encourages you to keep looking for them.

You are being overly optimistic if you believe you can easily build a group of thousands of customers. Truth is, you will do much better in a venture where you don’t need a whole bunch of people and they don’t have to buy a whole bunch of product.

A few people in every network marketing business make most of the money. Positively thinking that you will be one of them will probably lead you to failure and frustration.

MLM’s greatest potential is as a supplemental income source; enough money to help pay off bills and save for your retirement.

Helping more people do that is a better way to become one of those big money earners.
