Is Your "Lead System" Leading You Nowhere?
Read More: Using a slick lead system won't be enough to generate leads or attract them into your business--
I'm not saying never consider using a system to grow your business, because you should...
But if you think a system will do it for you, you're in for a bitter disappointment.
What Do You Bring to The Table?
You have to offer your prospects and team something more than JUST A SYSTEM if you want them to have a compelling reason to join your team, stick with you... AND duplicate you long-term.
Because... Anyone Can Sign Up With the Latest and Greatest Lead System.
But what makes you different? What will YOU contribute to your team's success?
It's difficult to enroll a prospect (did you notice??) without something to offer BEYOND just your system or product or company... Because a prospect could sign up and gain access to the same system you're using with any number of people.
If someone finds your "lead system" through your Capture Page and they're interested, they're going to go shopping for the best upline out there, if they're serious about doing something with it.
The "Big" One That Got Away...
Ever wonder why that 'great prospect' you were talking to stopped returning your calls and emails? Sure, they may have been interested in your system or opportunity, but not in you. A quick search on Google may have led them to someone else who had the same system or opportunity you do, but who had something more tempting on the hook.
That might be happening to you a lot more than you realize.
So how do you make it clear that you are your prospect's best ticket to success?
There's a way to actually be the leader people are seeking out.
And it's not a fuzzy touchy-feely type of thing... I'll give you tangible steps with detail on how to become THAT leader your prospects are seeking when they click on a link and submit your lead capture page form.
But here's the deal...
You have to do a lot more than just 'use' a system, even if that system allows you to brand yourself with videos and pictures... and even if your system promises to generate the most MLM Leads and cash-flow on earth... and all that JAZZ.
But before I give you the goods, I'd like to caution you:
"Don't make the mistake most do in the home-business industry who think what I'm about to share sounds like MORE work when it's actually less!"
Acquiring & Sharing Knowledge Builds Your Team. Period.
The Success Ingredients...
1. Continually develop your own business & marketing KNOWLEDGE so you continuously have something relevant to offer to your prospects and team. Otherwise, what "use" are you to them (the prospect or new downline member)? Why wouldn't I just go look for someone else who uses your same system or company/product... who knows something additionally about business and marketing that they can teach me?
2. You must demonstrate your knowledge and skills through your own marketing in addition to just a lead capture page and system you're using (even if it's you on the Lead Capture Page and inside the MLM system, because that alone is not enough). By setting up your own successful marketing (blogging, web 2.0, video, SEO, etc), you do more than just 'build your brand' and drive more people to your capture page -- you demonstrate what you know (showing "me" your value). That attracts people, and it's what they need to see continuously from you if you want to see them actually stick around in business with you.
3. You must be willing to teach what you know. This can be a lot easier by leveraging other educational resources. Understand that you can refer prospects and team members to more than one educational resource. In fact, you should consider doing this so you're reaching out to lots of different audiences with separate lead capture pages, messages and cash-flow strategies.
If you're not plugged into several educational resources and discussing them often, you're totally missing this part of the equation.
Be the conduit of good information.
You should always be directing prospects and team members to resources that teach them marketing and business development.
If you're brand new and are in the early stages of your own Attraction Marketing Business development, you don't have to be the instructor delivering the message in order to start 'teaching' (although at times you should try to be, by posting your opinions or giving a review at your blog or on YouTube, as just two examples).
Important Note:
Don't refer to just one coach or educational resource (because this will limit your prospecting to just that one camp or "tribe"). Ideally, you will generate cash flow as you refer to several resources. And since most educational resources are Funded Sponsoring Proposals you can earn as you learn, apply and teach others, all while generating leads using many different capture pages offered by your favorite systems.
Each 'system' capture page 'reaches out' to different audiences (ex: Magnetic Sponsoring, Building on a Budget, The Renegade Network Marketer, Renegade University, Renegade Professional, MLMLeadSystemPro, etc).
You don't have to use any of these systems to accomplish what I'm talking about. It's just easier because they provide different lead capture pages that 'talk' to different audiences... and they offer education you can learn from and refer to as you grow into a full fledged guru yourself.
Create your own lead capture pages outside of these systems as well.
It's important as your business develops that you create your own lead capture pages at some point, completely separate from ANY system. Otherwise you'll never grow into a leader in your own right. You'll always be limited by the systems and ideas created by others.
Sure, you can start out leveraging other systems as I've explained, and you can use them even as you start to make great money as a part of your business strategy. But at some point, you must start creating your own capture pages that do not tie into a system, but instead, tie into something you offer and sell on your own. You can (and I always will) keep leveraging a system or systems in addition to this, but if you don't go beyond that you'll always be following and NEVER leading.
If this sounds like a lot of work you're in trouble.
You have to change the way you look at your role in business or you'll forever be promoting other things and never growing a business of your own successfully. If you see what I just described as 'too much work' it's likely you'll be working years (if you haven't already been) pounding your head against the wall "trying to do things the easy way" until you finally step up to the responsibility of being a successful business owner.
Get It Straight! This IS The "Easy Way!"
What I'm saying is that if you follow what I'm sharing here, you will actually be doing it the easy way because you'll escape the illusion that you're building a business and actually build one once and for all.
Don't think that ONE system will do it all for you and your team. That's not realistic.
A system is a tool--nothing more. It might be a Super-Duper GREAT tool... but it will never be the 'everything' solution. You are the solution, leveraging many resources around you to build YOUR business, generate leads and make extra money while you do so.
Back to the main point:
By demonstrating you have business and marketing knowledge, and being willing to continually build upon it and teach others what you learn, it will compel prospects to want to join YOU (and they will actually seek you out over others).
By overly utilizing one lead generation system, method and message, you limit yourself significantly.
Here are 'just some of the areas' you want to develop your knowledge in:
1. How to get found on the Internet when people search for you, or for things related to what your business offers. Note that while MLM Leads are a good target audience to attract to you, you also need to learn how to attract other niche audiences, such as product specific leads, or company specific leads, or something like "home-based business seekers"... otherwise you're really limited as an upline and you'll be unsuccessful long-term as the industry changes).
2. How to Create a Blog
3. How to create other Web 2.0 content, written or video
4. How to Write content that attracts your target audience
5. How to position yourself and generate income as a coach
6. How to market your blog and web content through SEO
7. How to use the Consultative Approach to give value on the phone & attract prospects to your business
8. How to apply attraction marketing to the nutrition, travel or other product industries (rather than just attracting MLM leads).
9. How to Set Up Effective Lead Capture Pages that target different audiences related to your business.
10. How to set up an effective auto-email campaign for the target market of your choice (not JUST information for MLM leads... which again, is just one target audience you should know how to attract).
While systems will help make some of these things easier for you to set up and start doing, it's critical that you develop your own knowledge and skills or you will be clueless and unattractive to others seeking to find a business to duplicate long-term.
And even worse, if you ignore your responsibilities, you'll be lost as the home business industry evolves... and it WILL continue to evolve quickly. You must develop the skills to become a leader of the pack and a true contributor and player (that's where the money is). Money does not flow to the follower of systems who learn nothing more.
Here's the key to ensuring the BIG success...
To keep your team with you long-term (and a growing captive audience on your email list), you must demonstrate a constant and never-ending commitment to developing your skills and knowledge. You must share what you learn along the way. You must show your prospects and team that you are continually evolving. Then they will want to stay close to you... you'll attract more and more people to you.
THIS is how a business REALLY grows.
This will also create loyalty...
Your new team will stick around and duplicate your business regardless of the latest and greatest systems that come and go. If you develop your knowledge in business and marketing, you will build your team with confidence and competence. You'll never ask again, "What am I doing wrong?"or, "Why is this working for others but not me?" You'll stop being a victim in the industry and you'll become a success story. It's that simple.
If a new 'system' does appear on the scene (and they always do), now your team will stick with YOU long-term, even if they end up using a different system than you do down the road... Because you'll have knowledge and skills in business and marketing that make you indispensable to know.
More Work or Less?
If you think this sounds like more work (instead of less work) to get what you want out of your home business, think again. It is THAT belief that handicaps most people and keeps the failure rate high out there. But if you come to realize the truth of the matter, you'll stand out and join the success stories.
Should You Use an MLM Lead System of Some Kind?
Sure, use a system... you should. Use the one or ones you like most that make it easier for you to generate leads and to direct people to you and the things you offer in business. Use systems that allow you to monetize (funded sponsoring proposals, AKA: additional cash streams).
But don't stop there! To be valuable to others, you must continually seek out your favorite 'classroom' resources to keep yourself educated, and that make it easier for you to educate others so you and your team continue to acquire knowledge and skills in business and marketing. Websites like this one here at BetterNetworker.com can be a part of that.
There are also systems out there with a low cost to use as 'go-to' training resource (that go much more in-depth than the free resources and can move your business forward quickly). You can leverage such a resource to train others more successfully, while you generate more leads (because you can use its lead capture pages that allow you to reach out to another audience)... and you can monetize with it (if it's a funded sponsoring proposal).
Don't buy into what many systems try to sell you on (that their system is the one and only "Be All" solution for your success). It may be a great tool, but that's all it is.
Whatever you do, make it a top priority to continually develop your knowledge and skills in the business and marketing areas I've mentioned... it is an ongoing practice. Continually demonstrate to your prospects and team that you are developing this knowledge by sharing what you learn and referring them to things like your Blog or Other Web 2.0 Content.
I assure you, doing this will make your path to success significantly easier than if you continue to buy into the belief that you can develop a team by simply plugging into a system. Even if a system allows you to brand yourself, you must have more to offer to be an attractive leader.
Regardless of what anyone tells you (or what you want to believe), you must be an attractive business leader to succeed in network marketing, or any home-based business model that requires Relationship Building.

Something to learn here :)
Great article Mike, as always!
I absolutely agree that just a system by itself will not lead you to success.
Your first and foremost "success" ingredient must be YOU and what you offer to your prospects. And a few videos on a lead capture page or within a system will not be enough to establish you as a leader. That's just a part of what you need. Autoresponders are just another part, what you've shared is the complete picture that most people are missing in one area or another.
And as you emphasized an important part is that you are constantly learning, because in order to remain current and valuable to your prospects you need to offer a lot more than what your marketing neighbor offers and more than just a duplicate system.
And so as you learn you teach your prospects what you know and demonstrate your knowledge in your own marketing to attract even more leads.
Your goal should be to always be on the forefront and always delivering the best of information to your prospects. That's really the easiest way to build and maintain a long term strong relationship.
When I “got this” and started applying what you are sharing here I went from struggling to generating a full time income and having people who are better communicators and sales people than I am, coming to me for help.

Quote from Ann Sieg's Renegade Network Marketer
From The Renegade Network Marketer page 123-124
"Leveraging off of someone else's system in the beginning can help you get going faster...I did this long enough to develop my skills and get a cashflow going while putting my own website together...If you decide to do this though, I strongly encourage you to begin developing your own site/content as soon as you can...You'll find that there are limitations without your own unique content. In business the more you bring to the table, the more you walk away with. The more you develop yourself the more you are worth to the world.
I think I've read Mike Dillard say the same thing many times over in many different ways.
Good read Mike, you're absolutely correct.

Timely Advice
Hi Mike
Your article's timing couldn't have been better for me (and probably many others). Having learned the basics of internet marketing over the last couple of months, my inbox is flooded daily with lead generation systems offering a quick result. I thought to myself- if there's so much competition out there, what can I do to be unique, different and a better person for someone to join....
Your advice about constantly learning and providing value to your audience has been taken to heart. This is what I can offer: My time, my ongoing knowledge and my support.
Knowing that I can rely on my own qualities as a person and leader- and that these qualities is what people will be interested in, is a great relief. Sure the system and the company is important. But at the end of the day people want a leader.
Thank you for sharing those success ingredients. Trying to escape the essential learning curve is certainly no easy way out. It just delays the success.
I firmly believe that your business grows as you grow.
I have started "getting this" and am teaching as fast as I am learning! I had my first coaching session the other day. my coach went over my blog, helped me optimise my keywords better and looked at my blog's "personality" and what it is that i uniquely have to offer. The very next day, I taught my first client exactly what I had been taught! I looked over her content, helped her with the keywords and found ways to inject her personality into the piece!
Talk about being one step ahead.

Required Reading
Mike,
Great article, should be required reading for anyone who wants to grow a business online. While the steps are easy, very few will actually "DO" thinking that it will be to hard or not believing they have the skills.
Keep up the great work.
Dennis Ramirez
Comes Down to You
Quite right, Mike.
As we often say, they're not joining because of your products or your program...they are joining because of you.
A system may streamline the process of branding you as an authority, mentor and leader but the substance must come from you.
To your success,

This is a great dialouge
This is a great dialouge here.
Tania, I love what you wrote when you said, "Trying to escape the essential learning curve is certainly no easy way out. It just delays the success."
That is a powerful statement that could be turned into a lot of content by itself!
Eric, that's a great quote... can't believe you found such a perfect excerpt from Ann's book! I was amazed to see many of the same words I had used (like the reference of the importance of 'what you bring to the table')! Well played!
Diyana, you said, "That's really the easiest way to build and maintain a long term strong relationship." Yes indeed!
And Kisha, I'm glad you benefited from the discussion.
To answer your question, I do maintain an email list; however, the only way to get on my list is through one of my students or business partners who work directly with me (they're called "Super Guides"). You can get on my communication list through one of them... you can meet them at bottom of page at marketingmerge.com (The "Super Guides" are 'attraction marketers' and wouldn't try to sell you on something unless you asked to learn).
Keep up the great discussion everyone.
It's so vital to help newbies (and long-time frustrated networkers) 'get' this part of the equation... otherwise, as we've mentioned, it's actually harder (make that impossible) to succeed as a lot of people seek the easy route. Such irony!
"Extra Support" with Super Guide Eric Walker
There are many different aspects of Renegade Professional that can be leveraged to target the niche audience you want to market your business.
This brings up the question that I want to address here. Why should You pay for a membership to Renegade Professional? What I have seen in the past months of my own personal marketing efforts is that many people come into the Internet (affiliate and network) marketing business extremely excited.
Often times, they’re excited about a so called “system” that can help them reach certain levels of success in a short period of time.
Within a short period of time I see those people leave, never having achieved much success.There are many lead systems that you can join on the Internet today. But real empowerment comes from "how-to" education, which you then personally use, both on a practical level as well as creatively.
What I feel sets Renegade University apart is ME, and the way I use it for a personal mentoring program. This is very unique and testifies to my experience with Renegade Professional.
Personal mentoring means that you receive personal attention that you may not get with other lead generating systems.There is no doubt that the chances for your success will increase greatly when you have someone to bounce ideas off of, and to work closely with in achieving your goals.
This does not mean that I do the work for anyone, hardly. But I work synergistically with Renegade Professional and my affiliates. In another couple weeks (Thanksgiving, ironically) I will be providing all my affiliates, as well as other “Super Guides” access to a private members only area of my blog.
This will be a private discussion forum for people to not only get my extra help, but to be exposed to the others who’ve had months of experience with Renegade Network Marketing.
Many will still go through the same trial and error that many of us have already gone through. But if you would rather increase the chances for your success then a Professional Renegade membership as an affiliate of mine will give you a distinct advantage.

Talk about leveraging the moment!
Well Eric
I have to say hats off to you, fellow Super Guide!
Your post is just another example of what we've been talking about: Renegade Professional has taught us over and over again to "seize the moment" when it comes- to take an event, discussion or point of interest to our target market and write about it, leverage off it.
I see you have taken this lesson on "fist movers advantage" to heart right here at this post.
Once again, it shows me it doesn't help only knowing it. Doing it when it counts is the trick. And that only comes when you blend your knowledge, tools, system and personal engagement into the process.
I am constantly learning. Thank you for that, Eric.

Being Yourself
I love this article! This is what makes systems work. People who are being taught a way to do something, but are totally encouraged to just be themselves. That is the unique part of this system, not following a cookie cutter system as with most MLM businesses.
I know that the new people who are joining any business are going to need the mentoring of someone who has been there and done that. Someone who will be ready to give that extra assistance when needed. Not only that we are now living in an age where we are tired of the inpersonality of most businesses. Call your phone company, cable company and you're lucky if you ever talk to a real person.
People want to connect with other people and build a relationship with them. You can not be pretending to be anything you're not and make that work. You absolutely must be yourself and use the systems to train and assist. YOU INC.
Being a continual student and always learning is what will benefit others who want help in whatever area you expertise is.
Thanks Mike
You're the best, you are thorough, balanced and leave no stone unturned.
No one can fail in this business if they plug into your system and implement
your teachings. I can't thank you enough for your diligent and excellent work.
Attract Success

Great article as always. I once heard it said that one attracts success by the person you become. Become a more valuable person and success will find you. You have certainly proved this to be true.
Thank you so very much for leading us down the successful road!

Excellent Points Being Made -- This Applies to Beginners
Thanks for a well-written article. As a beginner, I couldn't agree more. It'd take me longer to actually find a system that works than just taking personal responsibility and actually learning HOW TO. I think it comes down to accountability and personally participating in your own success.
Thanks Again Mke.

Knowledge Is Power
Mike,
Knowledge is Power and how true everything you said is about why would someone follow you rather than another coach or upline. We need to position ourselves as someone special who offers that something "more" than the other guy. Marketing Merge has been an incredible tool in developing my skill set over the last few months and I look forward to continuing to develop them as new tutorials and information is posted. I am constantly educating myself, looking for other systems, trying to develop my own system to work with all levels of people in this industry and branding myself. Continuous improvement is key to success in any industry and never more so than now. Thanks for a great article. I will be sharing this one on blog posts and other sites as well.
For Juanita
Hi Juanita,
I didn't used to read much so I totally understand the need for Cliffsnotes!
Here it is in a nutshell:
Provide value to others, by:
1. Continually studying business and marketing principles
2. Demonstrating your knowledge (at your blog and in your own marketing)
3. Be willing to teach that to others.
Because if you can't provide something unique other than what your system provides, your serious prospects and new team members will find someone else to work with who can.
Hope that helps!
Be Forever Teachable
Great Blog as always Mike -
"You must continually develop your own business and marketing KNOWLEDGE and skills"
This is such a true statetment ! You can never stop learning - the more I know the more I want
to know.
LOoking forward to the next post. Until then ..

Exciting to See So Many Developing Leaders Here!
Great comments. It is clear that many here 'get' what success is all about and are well on your way.
I see a few names here who are with Marketing Merge but who aren't Super Guides. I'm going to try to put some info together so those of you who want to can join that more elite training group, because it's clear many of you are ready for it!
Anyone else interested in adding to this discussion, we'd love to hear your thoughts!
Become a Master Craftsman
In case Mike's example didn't make it clear enough, perhaps this example will give you an "aha" moment. My brother-in-law is a master guitar builder. He has studied under some of the greatest guitar builders in the world, and really knows his craft. The tools he uses to build his guitars can be purchased by anyone if they have the money for them. What can't be bought so easily are the skills he has acquired over the years to use those tools in a masterful way.
Don't get lulled into thinking your tools are going to do all the work for you. They can definitely save you a lot of time and effort, IF you know how to use them properly. Your best bet is to find a mentor or coach who has learned to master not just the tools you want to use, but the subtler art of your chosen craft. They can help you establish a solid foundation that you can use to build your own works of art.

Fantastic Comparison Lane
Lane, I love it when we can use real-world examples outside of the network marketing culture to illustrate an important concept or principle like this.
That's a fantastic comparison!
Super Guides
I am looking forward to this re-posting!
It is a shame to learn so much awesome information and keep it to yourself. I love to
watch other grow because of something I showed them how to do. That is a part
of success that doesn't have a $$ on it.

to Angela
Hi Angela,
You said, " I love to watch others grow because of something I showed them how to do. That is a part
of success that doesn't have a $$ on it."
That is stated like a true leader!. And what's so ironic is that when you have that attitude you actually attract the $$!
So Many People Are Hungry For These Words
Your articles always blow me away Mike.
I know how frustrated I was after hearing just about the same things over and over again from people who only wanted to sell me something. Everyone has an agenda and it can all be so tiresome as well as repeticious. It's no wonder people become jaded and disillusioned because they have no idea who to believe or trust.
Then, along comes Attraction marketing and it's like a breath of fresh air. I love the people who love attraction marketing. The generosity of spirit and willingness to help can at times be profound.
This is where those who are looking will find someone to trust and to help them find what they're seeking.
This is what it's all about. If I can help anyone in this business then that's a fantastic reward which doesn't have a monetary value on it.
Your Own Unique Marketing System is the Value..
Hi Mike,
I appreciate you sharing this post, it covers some key points that are hard to grasp for some, as there are many people who scratch their heads each day wondering why things don't seem to happen for them.
Eric says it very well, "It's ME that brings Value to the Renegade University" and to take that one step further, "It's ME that brings Value to the People I connect with."
It takes awhile for people to understand that every system is a tool, a tool to learn, a tool to create, a tool to connect and eventually a tool that will help transform them into their Own Unique Marketing System. That is what the Renegade University has given ME, the chance to develop myself, while teaching others how to recognize that same value in themselves.
If you aren't generating leads and visitors, that can be fixed, it's the "What do I do Next?" question that most marketers struggle with as their visitors start connecting. The Renegade University provides those answers and empowers people to learn beyond their own boundries.
What I love most about creating my own unique marketing system, are the emails I get from people I have never met before, out of the blue, asking for my help and advice in building their business. That is the true reward of becoming a student and teacher with the Renegade University.
Thanks again Mike,

Work From Home Smart
Building a Strong Foundation is Key
Hi Mike,
As always you drive home some very important issues. Issues that unfortunately continue to plague so many marketers. Not understanding that growing a business takes time and energy. This is not a "get rich quick" business. I don't know of one yet.....
I can't tell you how effective your step by step style in Renegade University is and how by following your examples it is so easy to coach and teach in return. Talking with and e-mailing with my potential partners is fun and educational. Having built my sound Foundation, business is no longer full of frustration and anxiety.
Yes, it takes longer but the foundation is always there. And from there it leads to so many more avenues to be ventured into not just one. These ventures are then done with confidence and excitement. Renegade University has given me this strength and knowledge.
Renegade University and the people within are amazing and have allowed me to grow so that I can help others grow.
Here is a quote that I have taken on as my mission:
Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. Jack Welch.
Thank for listening

I'm starting to understand this business slowly but surely. It's coming together like a puzzle.
This network is better than other networks I've signed on to. Other networks are just about getting people to sign on the dotted line. But this network is truly about mentoring and building relationship. I feel like this is a family that I would love to be part of.
Thanks,

Hi Mike, Attraction network
Hi Mike,
Attraction network marketing on the Internet presents many opportunities but also some challenges. The 3 biggest challenges include:
The Internet has increased the rate at which we can access information so any enduring successful business must be one where acquiring new knowledge and skills is part of the business plan. Leadership in this field requires having access to the best resources and Renegade University provides that to its students.
I call it the one-stop shop for business development!
With much gratitude,

To Silvia (Above)
To advertise a site quickly, as you just described, you have only ONE real option in this world... to spend money on PPC or display ads, or other similar pay-to-advertise models.
This 'networking method' requires attention on what is going on in other's lives and in their business in addition to just your own. Think of this site as you would if you attended a Chamber of Commerce networking event that was organized in your local area for local businesses to meet and network, exchange business cards, get acquainted and thus, get more exposure and grow business through 'networking.' This site allows you to do the same thing without the travel time and with greater leverage (since you can dialogue here and then have that conversation and 'networking' process continue even while you are gone).
There are really only two ways to build a business in this world:
1. Pay to advertise (significant price tag but certainly a viable option if you learn how to do it properly)
2. Network (requires that you give value to others, by communicating with them like I am with you--giving without asking to receive). By giving without want on the forefront of your mind, you can attract people who start wondering, 'who is this guy or gal?' ' I wonder what they offer.' That's how networking works.
Choose 1 or 2. If you choose 1 be ready to pay the big bucks. If you choose 2 be ready to serve before you receive.
Hope this helps,
