"How To Go Full-Time In Your MLM"

 "What suggestions
do you have for someone (myself) who is working his brains out making a really
good salary in my corporate job, but wants to go full time in MLM?

 I want to get more
involved and I make time nearly every day to read and get smarter about the
process. My current job takes up way more than 40 hours per week and we have a
better income than at any other time in my life.

How do I maintain the
integrity of my current commitment and still transition to MLM? If you suggest
I quit right now and focus all the same energy from my job into MLM, I suppose
that would be an answer.  - Kevin

Thanks for the question Kevin. I'm glad to see that you're
in a position to even consider this topic... Congrats!

Here's the quick rule-of-thumb answer...

Never quit your JOB and go full time into MLM until you've
exceeded your JOB income for at least three consecutive months.

That's the quickie.

Now as we get into a deeper answer to your question, let's
assume that you follow that rule.

Your next concern is the amount of free time you have
available to dedicate to your business. 

Well in reality, time is RARELY an issue. It's simply a
matter of working smarter and more efficiently instead of longer.

The first thing we need to do is prioritize our activities
so that we're only spending time on those which directly effect bottom line
production.

And there are a lot of activities that go into building a
network marketing business...

  • Writing
    ads
  • Placing
    ads
  • Creating
    capture pages
  • Calling
    leads
  • Interviewing
    leads
  • Contact
    management
  • Scheduling
    follow ups
  • 3-way
    calls with downline.
  • Mailing
    information
  • Making
    follow up calls
  • Processing
    new orders and applications.
  • New
    distributor training and orientation

Now here's where I want to flip the switch upstairs for you
today...

Look through all of the activities above and ask yourself
the following question: "What makes me money?"

The answer?

In the end, it's only one thing:

Processing completed customer orders and distributor
applications.

That's the only activity that makes you money so it's the
one activity that should dominate your business building time.

If you only had two hours per day to build a business, how
much money would you be making if you spent all two hours processing new
applications and taking orders?

Probably enough to go full time right!?

This is where you say, "Ya but that's impossible
Mike..."

Actually far from it. That's all I do and here's the process
needed to make it happen...

Now in order to process orders consistently and at a
relatively high rate each day, 3 things must take place:

  1. You must build a pipeline of prospects whom you
    consistently contact over time, not personally, but through marketing.
  2. You must build a relationship with those prospects, not
    personally, but through technology.
  3. You must effectively market your goods and services to
    those prospects.

And then sales are made and income is produced.

Now here's the deal...

All three of these activities can, and must, be achieved on
autopilot if you want your production to sky rocket.

And that's the secret between full-time networkers who make
the big bucks, and those who bust their rears all day long for years, barely
turning a profit.

  • Part-timers
    continually buy leads or place ads to generate new prospects, but rarely
    put them into a long-term "pipeline."
  • Part-timers
    attempt to build relationships with their leads by talking to them on the
    phone numerous times.
  • I constantly see networkers contact
    a lead 3 to 5 times, spending 1 to 5 hours time trying to get a single prospect
    into the business.
  • Part-timers
    spend major bucks and most of their limited time buying, and then mailing
    expensive prospecting tools to their prospects.

The lesson to be learned here is that they are building
their business without leverage. They are spending too much of their time doing
activities that DO NOT directly produce income.

The rich networker puts together a lead generation campaign
on Google Adwords that automatically generates 10-20 news leads per day for
him.

The rich networker leverages tools and technology like
personally written autoresponders to build a relationship with his 1,000's of
prospects automatically. He knows that a relationship and trust can be built
without personal phone calls.

The rich networker has an assistant or fulfillment center
distribute business building tools to his prospects automatically so he's isn't
stuck addressing envelopes every night at his kitchen table.

The rich networker only does three things that require his
personal time:

  1. He contacts the prospects who have called or emailed him
    after reviewing his marketing materials.
  2. He processes their application or product order.
  3. He talks to and builds relationships with other rich
    networkers and proven producers, not beginners.

So I hope that you understand that going full-time in MLM is
not about how much time you have available, but how you're spending that time.

This entire process is what's taught inside the pages
"MLM Traffic Formula", and in such detail that you're head won't stop
spinning for days.

Traffic Formula is not about prospecting, sponsoring,
follow-up calls, scripts, or even downlines.

It's about one thing: Building an EMPIRE, so if that's you
want, you'll find it's the perfect step-by-step guide you're looking for.

we are not worthy, we are not worthy!

Dear Mike,

This is a great article for me because I am a begginer. I know you are very busy filling orders and you are getting the real coin$$$ I am totally jealous!!  Is it true you were just a waiter? I know I am not worthy of your personal response. Maybe you can get your autoresponder to consol me for not having 2 pennies to scratch together. There must be some way to start for free. Do you have the answer? I started my last business with no star up. Seriously!!  Someone out there should invent a program that is based on no start up but gains profits to re-invest. I wish I was a techno geek I'd blow the roof off the net!!

Cheers Dorie

P.s. I am grateful to your autoresponder and I know it's just the nature of the Biz...
