MLM Networking Women

Does it ever seem like you could be so much more successful if only you had a crystal ball to show you everything you needed to know?

There is so much to know when you are building an MLM business from home, especially when you are using the internet.

These days, technology and the web are changing almost every day.  Just look at how Facebook changes its platform so often.

Most people don’t have the money to invest in costly programs or high fee mentors.

The Mentoring For Free program offers fresh and updated training on how to build your Network Marketing business from home using no or low cost methods.

Your Mentors serve you for free with no agenda.

But WHY do Network Marketers need to align themselves with a MasterMind group in order to be successful?

We have been discussing this very issue on our Mental Cleanse calls, most recently with Chapter 5, Specialized Knowledge, in Think and Grow Rich. 

My fellow mentor, Ken Klemm,  submitted a brilliant lesson to explain this principle using a fabulous Apple Orchard story.

Enjoy!

“So, You want to go into the apple business?

 
GREAT! Where will you go to learn all about apples, how
to plan an orchard, the tools You will need, and where
to get them and how to use them, etc?Is there an Apple University? Well, there are many fine
schools who have an agriculture department – and lots
of books available.

Maybe You already have an apple orchard, but You’re
having some challenges.

Where will You turn for help? Visit some orange groves
in Florida? Nice vacation maybe, but it’s apples and
oranges!

What about pineapples? Kind of SOUNDS like apples…
No?

How about the U.S. Apple Association? …Better.

Maybe You should look to Your local state apple growers
association. After all, growing apples in Washington is
probably a little different than growing them in
Wisconsin or Virginia.

But why would other apple growers share their tips and
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE with You? Why would they
cooperate with a competitor?

Because there is a big demand for apples and the things
people make with them. Helping You with Your orchard
makes the apple industry stronger.

If something goes really wrong at Your orchard, it
could adversely affect the industry in the entire
region, possibly even nationwide. Consumer health,
confidence, etc.

So, these folks are Your BEST source for help. Not only
are they actually DOING what You want to do, they also
have a vested INTEREST in Your SUCCESS.

The only place apple growers compete is at local,
county, and state fairs.

Mentoring For Free is the MLM growers association.

Don’t want a big, massive orchard? Just a few trees?
GREAT! We will help You too – ESPECIALLY You. Because,
actually, YOU ARE THE HOPE FOR THE WORLD!

Your Friend and Servant,
Ken Klemm – Florida, USA

P.S. By now You may think I have a passion for
apples… Not really, but I SAW an orchard once. I even
had a wild apple tree in my backyard.”

If you’re like me, you are constantly searching for the secret of how to create interesting blogs that people will actually read.

I just listened to a Richard Dennis training on HOW TO Use Graphics to get eyeballs interested in reading your blog posts.

Richard Dennis is one of the most respected marketing writers in action today.  His trainings offer incredible free and low cost resources for learning how to write for marketing purposes and how to get your articles & posts noticed.

In his training on using Graphics in your blog, he says it is imperative to grab your reader’s attention immediately so they are drawn to continue reading.

The most effective way to peak interest is through humor or whimsy.

Richard recommends starting off your blog posts with a humorous or eye-catching graphic.

He then gives several examples of opening lines that either pose a question or make a statement about a challenge the reader may be experiencing in their business.

The whole idea is to grab your readers’ curiosity enough to get them to read further.

It is important to note that most people learn visually. 

We absorb more information more efficiently through pictures, drawings, graphs and stories.

We can also read more quickly and efficiently if information is chunked into smaller segments with a lot of spacing between sentences and ideas.

Using graphics not only helps readers learn, but it can also give a readers a positive, happy feeling when visiting your site, which will transfer over to their impression of YOU as a business associate.

To read Richard’s complete article, visit his blog at Net Traffic Machine and download the pdf.

To listen to the audio of Richard’s training, please contact me at mentor.karen.j.miller@gmail.com and I will be happy to send you the link.

Network Marketing is NOT just a Numbers Game!

People are people not numbers.

They are also not just a prospect or a lead.

They have goals, dreams and desires. They are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandmothers, and grandfathers to people who love them.

Prospecting 104….Painless Principles in Generating Your Own Marketing Leads

The answer I have found to the question “So, now what?” is that you have to build relationships.

All of the traditional methods of lead generation for building an online business (making the List, buying leads, paying for coaching) worked well for many people who made a lot of money.

These methods are also typically aggressive and more suited to people comfortable being salesmen.

The olde school methods have also burned out a lot of the population who have grown wary of such heavy hitter recruiting tactics.

Fact #1 about People and Sales:

Roughly 70% of the population hates being pitched, sold to, and closed.
These same people hate to sell and close.
Think about it…
Why do most people dread the prospect of dealing with a car sales person?

The best method I have found to generate my own leads is to build relationships first. 

A great “ice-breaker” to meet new people is to give away for free something of value that will help others build their business.

It may seem strange to give away training for free when so many people are making money offering training systems. 

But think about it.

Most successful businesses give things away.

• Most people have had free samples of teriyaki chicken at the mall food court;
• Or we have enjoyed free samples of perfume in magazine folds;
• Or free samples of hand lotion in foil packages. 
• Remember how the Avon lady had those tiny lipstick samples?

Online marketers usually have a sign up form to receive a free training series or a free newsletter.

Blogs, You-Tube videos, and online articles are common examples of free giveaways network marketers use in their online lead generation activities.

Offering free training or information gives us an opportunity to meet and network with a lot of like-minded people.

As we get to know each other, a handful of the people we are networking with will become our business partners.  Everyone else will become valued business associates.

In the words of Zig Ziglar, “You can have everything in life you want, if you help enough other people get what they want.”

Have you ever wondered how one person can talk to 25 prospects and sign up 20 and another person can talk to those same people and struggle to get just one?

Another person took this secret and applied it to some prospective clients that had never bought from their company. These prospective clients turned into paying customers to the tune of over $180,000 in just 6 weeks.There are many various methods to identifying people’s personality types.  For me, the colors system is the simplest and most fun way to sort people out.

This secret when properly applied can allow you and any one who wants to use it to write their own check.

What is this secret?

Simply, the secret is learning the Colors Personality Typing System.

There are four basic personality types.

1. Yellow…always concerned with other people’s welfare and feelings; family oriented.
2. Blue…social animal, craves almost constant contact with people; loves to have fun!
3. Green…analytical, always wants more and more information about whatever it is they’re interested in; love to research.
4. Red…usually talks about themselves and their achievements; their way is the only way.

The bigger part of the secret is in actually learning how to listen and observe.  Only through listening can you learn how to apply the colors personality skills. 

Honing one’s listening skills takes practice.  Practice that is offered through Mentoring For Free.

What can it do for you?

So, big whoop.  You can categorize your prospects in a box of crayons.  What’s the use in that?

Understand please, that learning the colors system involves more information than I’ve shared here and it takes practice.

Let’s say you are talking to an interested prospect who is a blue.  You are a green.

You find importance in all the details and knowing every scrap of information.  So that is how you present your opportunity to your prospects.

Well, guess what?  Your fun-loving Blue prospect couldn’t care less about all of those details.  Blues want to see the big picture.  They want to have fun!

Since you’ve just bored Ms. Blue to tears with your analytics, her mind is off in another direction, and so is her pocketbook.

Want More answers?

If you are ready to unlock the full mysteries of this system so you can take advantage of its power?

Give me a call or send me an email and I’ll be happy to get you connected with our full training on the colors system.  Remember, all of the training at Mentoring For Free is, well, yes…free!

Wishing you the success of a lifetime!

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.

Your Friend and Mentor,

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
