MLM Networking Women

In my last post about Mentoring For Free and the Big Lie, I exposed the hidden costs behind Mentoring For Free.

Namely, the Mentoring For Free Pro Version and the collection of CDs and ebooks Michael sells.

Mentoring For Free Pro 

Anyone in any company can use the training program as a lead generation system.  The Mentoring For Free Pro version offers…

• the ebook branded with your name and contact information,
• a back office to store your leads (those who download the ebook) that belong solely to you,
• an auto-responder,
• splash pages,
• an ad tracking system.  

Mentoring For Free is NOT an Affiliate Program.
None of the Mentors make any commissions from people joining the Mentoring For Free pro Version.

Mentoring For Free Pro is a reasonably priced lead generation system when compared to other systems available today.

Mentoring For Free CDs & ebooks For Sale

Michael Dlouhy sells a Personality Colors CD and ebook and an ebook about the 5 Pillars to Success.

Like most Mentors, I recommend people keep their credit cards in the freezer.  There is no need to buy anything until you read the ebook and see the total training program we have to offer.

All of the information in the CDs and ebooks Michael sells is offered in our free training program.  On top of that, the Mentors who blog or write articles for the internet, are writing about this information all the time.

So WHY does Michael offer these CDs and ebooks for sale if the information is free anyways?

Different strokes for different folks…

• Some people want the information in a defined, concise, and convenient format.
• Some people think information is only valuable if they pay for it.

What About the Lie?

The big question still hasn’t been answered.
Fess up to the lie.
What does Michael and his posse of Mentors GET from Mentoring For Free?

OK, OK, You got me!

Mentoring For Free is a lead generation system that offers a FREE ebook and free training…10 tele-seminars every week plus all the trainings since 2007 recorded and archived for anyone to listen to 24/7… plus access to your own personal mentor…a real live person.

All this to attract business leads.

Feel a little like you’re part of a cat & mouse game?
Is this where the Lie is exposed?

Here is where you have to learn how to lose your agenda.

Mentors help everyone, no matter what business they are in.
Oh, and all of the training is generic…no companies or products are mentioned.
The person you download the ebook from will not tell you their company.

But Why?

Let’s say out of every 10 people who download the ebook,

• 5 of them are happy with their companies and are just looking for some training. 
• 3 of the people are with companies that they know, at least deep down inside, are a bad deal, and are looking for help. 
• And 2 are looking to join a company and are doing research.

If you’re married, you wouldn’t like it if someone who knew you were married asked you out on a date.

Nobody likes being pitched either.
If someone’s with a company, they don’t want an opportunity thrown at them.

Only a few of the people who download the ebook will actually be interested in joining the Mentor in their business.

And that’s good!

• Who wants to be a sponsor monster and bring in anyone with a pulse?
• Isn’t it better to get to know each other first?
• Isn’t it better to find out who is serious about their personal development? 
• Isn’t it better to find out who is serious about learning business building skills and applying them through persistence?

So that is why Michael teaches us to lose our agenda.  This gives us the freedom to help anyone in need of learning these skills whether they join us or not.

In fact, it is not until a person goes through the training program and learns the concepts and skills that we teach that either the mentor or the client can make a realistic decision to become business partners.

It’s not until then that the Mentor will share his/her company information with their Client.

If they won’t become business partners, that’s great too.  They both get lifelong friends and the Client has accessed an invaluable training.

Still think there’s a big lie?
Maybe the style of Mentoring For Free is not for you.
Maybe you’re just a skeptic.
Well, you have a choice to make.
Remain a skeptic and walk away.
Or, get over it and get plugged into the system.

Of all the MLM business training programs out there on the internet, many people think Mentoring For Free is a big fat lie.

You see, Mentoring For Free offers a FREE education and training program to anyone in any company. 

The training is always free. 
The Mentors always offer their help for free. 
The Mentors at Mentoring For Free are a volunteer army.
The Mentors never get paid.

Many people are skeptics and aren’t ready to believe that something so valuable could actually be offered for free with no strings attached.

So is the Mentoring really for Free?  Or is it a Big Lie?

What is taught at Mentoring For Free?  Is it really of any value?  Afterall, how much value can there be in something for free?

1. Personal Development
2. Leadership Skills
3. How to Advertise…for free or low cost

Who exactly is behind Mentoring For Free?
Michael Dlouhy?
Who the heck is he?  Another lying MLM Mega Guru?

1. Over 30 years working experience building his own MLM business.
2. A distributor who got ripped off by his own sponsor.
3. Went on a mission and joined 100 companies to study how the businesses, contracts and pay plans worked
4. Wanted to take what he learned and put it together in a program to teach people skills so they never get scammed again.
5. Knowing most people who enter MLM have little or no money, so he chose to GIFT everyone his training program.

So, Michael Dlouhy just wants to help people.

What a lie.

Why would he do all that training and mentoring for free?  Everybody has heard him talk about his huge house in Florida that he built…heard him talk about his new Corvette he just paid 100K in cash for.

He’s not doing this for FREE!

Well, yes he is.  And so are all the other Mentors at Mentoring For Free.

You see, this is about a Philosophy Michael teaches…

• that you have to be a Giver,
• that you have to be a Servant with a Mentor’s Heart,
• that you have to get rid of your agenda,
• that Network Marketing is about building relationships,
• that if you build people they will build your business…and they will become your devoted friends to boot.

A bunch of feel good hype?  Another part of the big lie?

What does Michael and his posse of Mentors really get out of this?  Where do they make their money?

What’s this $19.95 a month deal then?

What about those CDs and the other ebooks he sells?

What’s so FREE about that?

Aha!

More on the Big Lie in the Next Post!

Your Friend and Mentor,
Karen

Most network marketers are constantly looking for leads to introduce their business opportunity to.

With so many of us out there looking for the same thing, several companies have been created to sell network marketers a package deal of leads.  Other companies who offer training services also offer a package of opt-in leads to their new sign on customers.

Sounds like a sweet deal!  5000 free leads you didn’t have to do anything to get!  Yes!

NOT!

Have you ever heard of CAN-SPAM?

This is federal legislation controlling email spam…Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003…Public Law 108-187.

CAN-SPAM requires unsolicited commercial email messages

1. to be labeled (although no standard guidelines have been provided)
2. to include opt-out instructions
3. to include sender’s physical address
4. misleading headers and titles prohibited

The law empowers the FTC to establish a “do-not-email” registry, although they haven’t done so yet.

Aside from the federal regulations, you have to abide by state regulations and your ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) terms and conditions.  Your ISP bans spam emails primarily because of the added costs associated with having to buy extra bandwidth.

As you read this, you are wondering what spam email has to do with opt-in leads.

You cannot buy an OPT-IN lead of ANY kind from ANYONE then send them Your Offer because they did NOT OPT-IN for Your Offer.

They Opted-In for the Offer that the Lead seller was offering.

You cannot send your offer to an opt-in Lead that you bought or were gifted as a bonus to join some company.

As an example, Go Daddy requires “conclusive proof of prior consent” that the recipient asked for your information (i.e., opted-in).

If Go Daddy receives a complaint that you sent spam, you have to provide specific information to fight your case.  If you can’t satisfy their requirements, your account will be terminated.

Some of the information requested to support your case includes

• server logs showing when the complainant connected to your site and subscribed or opted-in
• time and date of opt-in
• IP address of the web server the complainant used to connect to your site
• referral URL
• your explanation of how the email address was obtained
• copies of confirmation messages, complete with header information

Even though “a lot of people all over the world buy leads all the time”, it’s still a losing proposition.

Is it worth spending your time contacting people who have had their information sold or given away perhaps hundreds or thousands of times?

People who aren’t interested in your information or opportunity?

People who may report your email for spam or cause such a high rate of bounce back (rejected emails) that your ISP will suspend your account?

Buying leads or getting leads as a gift for joining an opportunity is a scam and will get you into trouble eventually.  Save yourself the trouble and generate your own leads.

I can show you how.  For Free.

Wishing You the Success of a Lifetime!
