I Love/Hate Network Marketing

I Love/Hate network marketing. What other business can you start at the bottom and go all the way to the top working 20-30 hours a week?  Yes, it’s wonderful; especially for those making money, but for the rest of you it’s not always so wonderful, is it? You put in the hours,money,blood,sweat,and tears but still fall way short of your hopes and dreams. Contrary to popular belief... hard work and hustle does not necessarily equate to wealth. It can though, but only if you’re working smart-doing the right things, pursuing the right people, and teaching the right techniques.  It is only when you do this business “right” that you end up working less and making more. Back up a lifetime ago... I was building a years before. I could have continue but at what costs? It would have taken every ounce of energy,time,loss of family time and my health. Now some of you may be able deal with that, but not me. I had a wife and two sons. I couldn’t tell them I am quitting a business that is providing us with a very nice houses,cars,country club membership,etc. So I started looking into other types of business platforms. I came across one that really caught my attention. Multilevel Marketing. So,I’m off to build a networking marketing company empire. I started this business to create more free time, money and a better lifestyle, but not at the expense of my family and my health. Now I didn’t mind sacrificing money and time to reach my goals. So,I started a new venture. I signed up with the biggest and oldest MLM company on earth. I figure the people have been in this business for 50 years. They should have a plan of operating or system to build this kind of a business. It should be well tested and proven after many years of trial and error. Right! Wrong! I listen to one of their top men in the company. He explained to me how to build the business. He said "Buy some products,marketing materials-tapes,brochures,and etc." Then make a list of one 100 of your friend,family and business associates. Ok. I did that. I called him up and ask him what to do next. You guess it! Have some meetings with you family,friends,business associates and talk about the products. Give them product samples,brochure,tape,etc. I called him back up again. What do I do next,I asked him?  He taught me about three way calling. I called everyone and try to get them on a three call with the GURU. I signed several people up because of my past business dealings with them. Base on what and how I had perform on past business deals. KEY words here-How I had Perform!  I had loss my freaking mind! I had invited people into a new business venture base on what someone else had told me,what they had done. My next article-How to lose your business associates,friends,family and money in 90 days or less!  Needless to say. The Guru was WRONG. I starting looking at this business the way I build my previous business. I thought man,there is got to be a better way to build a MLM business! A more-of-the-same approach just wasn’t going to cut it anymore; continuing with the same old 50 year tactics just would not work quick enough for me. I want something someone could duplicate. I could have continue to build the business the way I was told. I would loss money for the next 2-3 years. It would take 2 or 3 years to reach the top even with all the tax advantages. How could I look someone in the face and tell them this is the greatest type of business in the world? Come and join me. Work part time with a inventory of product and marketing materials. Budget for marketing costs-buying leads,running ads,telephone,computer,etc. And you can be in 6 to 7 figure income in a year or two. I could not do it. I had to come up with a smart,simple system using the internet to build a product business and a downline. I still saw the value of network marketing, but just not the value in the way I was doing it – not anymore. My trust in those old methods had completely eroded. I gave them a try and not a half-hearted try either.  I really worked at it and did everything my upline said and even though I had some success, it was just too slow and too costly. I absolutely refused to continue investing my precious time and hard-earned money into that unproductive system for one day longer and here’s what pushed me over the edge, A little word called “attrition.” In network marketing, it’s the reduction of your downline. It happens to everyone – even the heavy-hitters. It’s not a problem unless you understand it and know how to get around it. Something I didn’t know at the time, but I do now and you’re about to as well. You see, my upline didn’t tell me that even though I would sign up 4 or 5 new people every month that 2 or 3 (or more) would probably quit within 3 months (many within 1 month). So even though I was building a decent size team every month, by the time I signed up my first twenty people, only about 8 of them were still in my business and furthermore, only 1 or 2 of them were building a business. What they don’t tell you (or maybe they did and it didn’t register) is that you’ll need to sign up (at least) 100 (probably more) before your business starts to experience momentum. No worries, there are simple,easy and legal ways to get around all of these hurdles. There are many ways no one ever told you before, until now. So,let's get you heading in the right direction. The direction that changed my way of during the MLM business forever. NO MORE buying expensive leads,ads that built debt instead of a downline, experiencing huge emotional swings that caused fatigue and debilitating stress, pitching my offer to people who couldn’t care less about my product, company or carefully -concealed industry, and last but not least, training my downline to duplicate a 50+ year old way of business that leads to failure instead of success. I was spending my time,money,effort and not making a damn penny of profit. Lots of red ink. My business was bleeding to dead. This was because the system I was using had it all backwards. My opportunity (my MLM business) was my front-end offer when it should have been my back-end offer.   If I would have presented all those nice people who said, “No thanks!” something free first (something that addressed their most problematic issues), then my response would have been drastically better.  You see, according to the New York Sales and Marketing Club, “71 percent of people who buy from you do so because they like you, trust you, and respect you.” The legendary Zig Ziglar says it this way, “A bond must be formed between you and the prospect before anything significant will be bought or sold.” I’d say your MLM business is very important to you, wouldn’t you? Look.  You can’t just say, “Here’s my product and here’s my company.  Now sign on the dotted line.” People don’t want to be sold anything. But they love to buy! They just want it to be their idea.   They want to feel comfortable with their decision – especially when there’s such a large commitment (of time and money) required of them when joining you in your network marketing business. They want to be able to wake up the next morning and feel good about their decision. Now, you will get some to sign up on the spot (on impulse) but they won’t last long in most cases.   Clam down. Take a breath. Relax a bit. Here comes a new idea. Be prepare! Lets do This! Swap your network marketing opportunity from the front-end to the back-end. What a smart idea. First,  we provide your prospect with good valuable (relevant) information (for free) and then offer an inexpensive (relevant) informational product (a how- to book, audio, DVD, or membership trial) as your front-end offer.  Later, when your prospect “… knows you, likes you, trusts you,” has bought from you and understands you and your business (because your front-end offers were relevant and explained everything about you and you how you do business) –     Then the right people will come to you asking, “What next?” This is when you offer them your back-end product (your MLM business). Not before. This way, all the stress and hard-selling is totally removed from the process (for you and your prospect). It’s just natural, it’s more fun, it’s easier and it’s much more profitable – even from day one.   Everyone breathes easier.  Take a deep breathe. Now you know how the elite 2% do it.  They think about their business differently than most. They make a sale to get a customer, instead of finding a customer to make a sale; a tactic that’s commonly referred to as the self-liquidating lead or funded proposal. “Yep,that’s how they do it” That’s right and you can do the same thing... with the 1EASYPLAN.com system!     Here's how it works:    1.

Now I must warn you, what you're about to learn (on this site) will challenge your pre-conceived and ingrained beliefs about the network marketing business, money, what it takes to succeed and yourself. You will find reasons to doubt, second-guess, reject, and even totally dismiss it as unimportant, unnecessary,or not applicable to you or your business. You're going to need to fight your instinctive urge to ignore and reject and (instead) you're going to need to open your mind to ideas that could quite literally (if you act on those ideas) make the next year of your life better than the last.     This information is absolutely essential! Without it your network marketing future (statistically speaking) is doomed! With it, let's just say the sky is the limit. Look. I may not know you, but I do know this about you: you can become a huge success if you want to.  You do want to, don't you? If you want to stop chasing prospects and have them chase you instead; ready to buy from you, today and forever.  If you want to finally wake up each morning excited for the day ahead, because you love what you do and it’s paying well, real well. If you want to stop feeling anxious, worried, frustrated and constantly defeated.  If you want to stop experiencing failure after failure no matter how hard you try.  If you have had enough and you’re finally ready to succeed then devour the information on this site and do what it says.
