Secret 7) Train them with 3 way calls

It is AMAZING what comes out on a good 3 way call. If you learn to do good information style 3 way calls you will enrol people into your group.

Teach your team member how to position the call so it is not intimidating. After a positive follow up to an exposure, I teach my guys to say, ‘the next step is for me to introduce you to my business partner so you can learn abit more about our team and see the kind of support network we have.’

Something like that. It’s not high pressure and it’s not SALES. It is communication and building trust. It’s a bit like an interview process.

If you get good at this your guys will trust you enough to introduce their best prospects to you. This is MLM team building heaven…

Yes some people will CALL YOU to sign up or get more info. Not usually when you start though. There is no short cut to riches. These are the fundamentals that everyone has to go through before they learn all the fancy stuff for online list building.

The 7 Secrets of Helping Your New Team Member Launch Their MLM Business Fast and Right! Secret 5-Secret 6

February 17th, 2010 rhenke Comments

Secret 5

Keep them close

You new team member is like a young child. You wouldn’t send your child to school and not expect them to come home to tell you how their day was right?

Same thing here. Ask your team member to check in with your after their first couple of invitations. Help them to get better and don’t forget to PRAISE them for taking action.

Secret 6

Teach them to follow up professionally

Depending what skill set your team member has when they arrive you may have to teach them how to schedule appointments. Some guys don’t even use a planner when they start!

Either way teach them exactly how to follow up and what to say, and what not to say!
womansecret

If you do a good invitation the follow up process has already been set up and should be smooth because the prospect knows what to expect.

As with the invitation it is very helpful to do some role-playing with them here.

Secret 4

Prepare your new team member as if they are going into battle because they are!

Lots of emails you get from master marketers will have you believing that you can build your MLM business to 6 figures whilst you’re sending out fluffy emails to your prospects.

Whilst I am an avid addicted user of the internet to attract prospects, I know (believe me I have tried) that you MUST GET ON THE PHONE or SKYPE to talk with your prospects and team members)

earsecrets

You must teach them what to say and what NOT TO SAY when their family lawyer tells them they have joined an illegal pyramid scheme!

Prepare your team members with a get started training session (I do this on skype) so they are ready to go out into the big wide networking world.

Secret 3

Teach your new team members how to do a professional invitation to take a look at a ‘first exposure’ business tool. Have a simple and SHORT invitation that they can put into their own words but stick to the basic script.

Have them say it back to you. Roleplay with them. Keep it simple.

I promise you if you haven’t done this with your guys you will be HORRIFIED if you hear them inviting someone to take a look at the business. I mean this is scary stuff! Help them learn which words to use to be most effective.

The 7 Secrets of Helping Your New Team Member Launch Their MLM Business Fast and Right! Secret 2

February 12th, 2010 rhenke Comments

Secret 2

Have a positive attitude of expectancy. Many new team members are absolutely fine with making a list when they see it is the normal thing to do here. What else are you going to do with them? Have them invest $2000 per month in Google adwords so they don’t have to talk to anyone they know?

They will widdle in their panties with fear, both at losing money and talking to strangers. New team members don’t really like talking to strangers.

businesssecrets

If they won’t do a list because they are wounded MLM soldiers then they will need to take massive action with networking on or offline. This works well when done consistently over a period of time but is SLOW for launching.

By the time they have a good prospect so you can train them they have forgotten why they joined! With no list they will probably need to do paid advertising to launch so they have enough leads, which is not ideal for a new team member as you want to get them into profitability asap. not further into debt!

So Secret No.2 is about giving some leadership and expecting your new people to take action to launch their business and follow your business plan.

Secret No.3 will be coming soon! Why not leave a comment with one of your best ’secrets’ for helping your new team members to launch fast without spending a fortune on MLM leads etc.

The 7 Secrets of Helping Your New Team Member Launch Their MLM Business Fast and Right! Secret 1

February 10th, 2010 rhenke Comments

So you’ve started your new business, or you have new team members starting their new business..

It’s all trumpets and horns, bells and whistles. You’ve enrolled someone and you are EXCITED!

All your wonderful dreams of exotic trips, time freedom and your personal chef whiz come rushing back and you can FEEL it! This is it. You got a GOOD ONE this time!

This could be the one. He is excited, motivated and says he is gonna do what it takes.

A couple of days later you start to come back down to reality right? Doubts sometimes creep in. What if I should show him this way, or that way?

What about that email that Mike Dillard sent out? That’s it, maybe I should leap right in and show my new team member how to make whiz bang videos.

Then we can cut right through all that making a list nonsense, and warm contact marketing. Why bother when we could be the masters of video marketing by next week?

You’re halfway through the video session when you realize that your new team member is completely lost. He has

a) never made a video other than on a stag night in Paris (say no more)
b) doesn’t want to make videos cause he’s a bit shy and thinks he has a face for radio
c) doesn’t know what to say because he doesn’t understand the business yet AT ALL!

Ok so this may be an extreme example but you get the point right?

There is no point learning and teaching all the fancy stuff if you and your guys don’t know (or teach) the fundamentals.

childrensecrets

The CRITICAL time with your new team member is in the first couple of days that they are getting into action.

This is make or break time. It doesn’t matter how great your videos are. If you can’t show this new guy how to get into productive activity with a step by step daily method of operation, the chances are he will be dead in the water before you can say ‘Go Diamond!’

Next time you call him he might say something like, ‘No one is interested in this deal. I have spoken to EVERYONE.’

Your face drops, your exotic trips and visions of your sleek black mercedes fly out the window and you think to yourself ‘why can’t I recruit more people like me?’

Why doesn’t he get it? Has this guy not seen the compensation plan?

I know there are thousands of ‘orphan’ distributors roaming around the internet looking for love. There are many wounded MLM soldiers who just ‘don’t have a good upline.’

There are also thousands of distributors who have a perfectly mega business plan to follow but whom don’t follow it because they think they know better.

Whichever category you might fit into this is for you. If I’ve missed your category out then I APOLOGISE and this is for you too.

By the way I’m British so please don’t send me any more emails about my weird spelling. My spelling has been approved by the Queen but not by the President of USA so don’t let that put you off!

Sometimes I use a z instead of an s so that my American readers feel more at home with me, and sometimes I don’t.

Let’s just say I am a global speller. It suits me anyway cause I’m not much of a conformist.

Ok here goes. Are you ready for the 1st Secret of Launching Your MLM Business Fast but Right?

Secret 1) Help your new team member make a 100-200 names list of their contacts. (Don’t cry and be a baby here please) Everyone who is anyone on the internet is working their ‘warm list.’

Whether you are working mostly on or offline your warm list might not be so great when you start but it gets better as you develop your skills and your network.

You can bet that Donald Trump is working his ‘warm list,’ right now. It’s called Networking.

That’s life so get over it! Successful business involves networking with other people…and you have to start somewhere to get these skills even if your warm list looks like a who’s who of X-Factor rejects.

Don’t cheat your new team member out of exposing your fabulous business to people he knows (ok he can leave great old auntie Ethel off the list seeing as she has gout and just turned 100)

If your business isn’t fabulous what the heck are you doing in it anyway?

Your computer won’t save you from a bad business model.

Stay tuned for Secret 2. It’s coming to an inbox near you very soon!

If you leave a comment it would be cool. Have you tried out Disqus yet?

Holy Moly what do I need to do round here to get a comment? (Just kidding!) You guys are great but a comment builds your online network and gets you a back link… It’s a bit like that Kevin Bacon 6 degree thing in the blogging world.

Are Attraction Marketers Really Building MLM Downlines?

January 26th, 2010 rhenke Comments

Network Marketing fascinates me. If it didn’t I probably would have quit long, long ago. There is something about it that is simply addictive.. don’t you think?

What is it exactly? It’s hard to put your finger on.

It’s one of the toughest business models out there but still we cling to this concept of greatness through building a huge network.

Last week as you may recall from my ezine, Amateurs versus Professionals I attended a company convention and also had a special European leadership session with Randy Gage prior to the event which was by special invitation only. It got me thinking…

Randy is convinced that Attraction Marketing is devil’s spawn! This came as no surprise to me, as those of you who follow him know full well that he doesn’t mince words. With Randy it is his way or the highway.

That is actually what is so attractive about him. There is no room for doubt. He has complete conviction, the cheques and the success record to back up his philosophy. That is strong leadership that brings you back to the centre line.

During the leadership session he threw out a few acidic comments about Attraction Marketing and aimed them square at me. I shifted uncomfortably but looked him straight in the eyes. We laughed about it later as I know he wants only the best for me.

IMG_4069

I am well aware that I manifested all of this because I dreamed of working with Randy Gage and his systems years before he even got back into a Network Marketing company.

Still..anyone would think I created Attraction Marketing. I mean come on Randy.. I am not Michelle Dillard!

Randy thinks that Attraction Marketing is ‘bullshit’ and that lots of the online gurus are just mining the minors. (When you think that apparently there was more money made in the Gold Rush from the selling of shovels and levi jeans, than from the gold itself this is obviously a good business to be in!

Anyway it got me to thinking again as I so often do about this online and offline MLM puzzle or conundrum.

I have never said that online MLM is the only way to go because right from the get go I have been very aware of the advantages of building MLM with a traditional (but smart step-by-step) business plan.

Not ever doing fliers again though guys!

I’ve never begged my prospects to join or cried when they said no. (At least not in a long, long time) In previous posts I have written about much of the online nonsense that is going on as newbie network marketers try to figure out what to do, and spam our profiles.

Randy Gage and Eric Worre teach professional network marketing at its very best. Duplication and creating massive organizations that are built to last is their speciality.

Hence they have no time for the latest internet gimmicks and create an army of distributors who know exactly what to do.

Attraction Marketing and Internet Network Marketing on the other hand can get very complicated. By its very nature your people are all doing different things. This makes duplication very, very challenging. (If you didn’t read my story and why I created my own Attraction Marketing system yet, you can download my free Attraction Marketing e-book here)

I do love working online and bring in some great people this way. But you have to have a real business plan for them to get started fast with your company or team.

They then add in online marketing to the mix if they want to.

Going online straight away is awesome if you are experienced and already have a network circle to contact online. For some, especially younger people it is easy to get their heads around driving traffic to their web page. For others who barely know how to get their own domain name, it can be a very slow process.

Personally I advocate doing what you love and what makes sense for your personal circumstances. I for instance live in a very remote location and because of the internet have been able to enrol people from all over the world. Pretty exciting hey?

That being said I have some advanced internet skills and have created an excellent online marketing funnel that does a lot of the work for me.

If I lived in London I probably would do more local networking, so you see how it’s best to create your plan around your skill-set and your life as it is now. (That being said I have done so much local networking in my MLM career and I know the power of it)

I could go on. There’s so much here to elaborate on in another post but enough is enough. You guys are busy and short is better than long these days.

In closing I’m finding myself wondering how many of the Attraction Marketing gurus are really building an MLM downline?

I’ve always done the business with a mix of on and offline because the tools I have access to with my team are way too good to ignore for warm market.

There are many though who claim that they can do it all online. Network Marketing is about people and relationships so whilst I agree that A LOT can be done online with technology, I also know that meetings make money, cement relationships and build belief.

I see the transformation that happens to our team members when they attend events, especially major ones.

I do however LOVE online lead generation and for me it has always been about being able to teach people what to do to attract more prospects once they have been through their warm list.

In my experience most people are open to working their warm list if you give them realistic expectations and quality business tools to do it with.

Where it all falls down (I find) is when you have nothing else to teach them after that. It can be very challenging to meet enough NEW people to do another ‘major blast’ or create enough continued momentum and first line recruiting.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. It seems to me that the roles have been reversed.

The die-hard online network marketers (the Renegades and the Magnetics) who refuse to do any offline marketing have long accused MLM uplines such as Randy Gage and Dani Johnson, of doing one thing but teaching another.

Funded proposals and affiliate marketing are amazing and I have generated a lot of income with them but they do distract people from building their MLM cheque unless they have a systemized approach to it and really understand it.

In a strange irony it seems to me as though the shoe is now on the other foot. The MLM leaders who have built huge downlines with person to person and warm market lists are now calling out the online gurus as doing one thing and teaching another!

Are Attraction Marketers for the most part just selling online affiliate courses and losing sight of the MLM dream?

When you figure that the big players in Attraction Marketing such as Mike Dillard and Mike Klingler are no longer building the MLM model…

Ann Sieg is in MLM but has a huge business with affiliate marketing…

Jonathan Budd is a big player but again I don’t know how much of his earnings published on MLM authority sites are actually from his MLM.

Perhaps Randy Gage has a good point.

What do you think? Leave your comments on the blog. I know this is a heated subject for many so please show respect!

p.s Every name I have mentioned in this blog has been of tremendous value to me in building my business and I in no way which to discredit any of them. They all bring incredible leadership and training to Network Marketing with their own unique style.

Are You an Amateur or a Network Marketing Professional?

January 20th, 2010 rhenke Comments

I’m just back from a leadership convention in Rome and have some brilliant business builder training for you today.

I captured Randy Gage with my FLIP video, live on stage at his very best.

Some of you may have been fortunate enough to attend some of Randy’s live events or listen to his generic MLM training CDs etc.

If you have then you’ll know how amazing he is, and if you haven’t then let me have the pleasure of introducing you to Mr Randy Gage!

Watch the first video here: Amateurs versus Professionals

In summary there are 4 basic skills you need to develop to become a Network Marketing Professional:

1) How to make and maintain a candidate list
2) How to work your candidate list
3) How to invite prospects to take a look – (probably the most difficult but remember that you can’t look good & get better at the same time!)
4) Following up

Randy explains that these four skill-sets (and practicing them!) can take you to a $100k per year in Network Marketing.

There are 2 Advanced Skills

5) Doing presentations
6) Leadership Development

How are you doing on that? As I keep saying no matter how great you become with attracting prospects to you, you still need to learn the core skills to enrol people and to build a huge group. (And Randy will be the first to tell you that as he becomes very irritated by claims that you can build a group purely online)

So amateurs do things for free and professionals get paid.

Moving on to the final video for today check this out:

Randy Gage asks the Magic Question

It’s a very short video and a very short question! Leave us your comments and let us know your answer at the blog.

p.s There are a few references to my company here but I think you’ll agree that the value of the training far outweighs that, and the fundamentals are the same whichever company you are working with.

Here I am enjoying the top leadership lifestyle champagne & 6 course recognition dinner in Rome. The diamond lifestyle really does take some beating!

The Conspiracy of the Rich Review – Part 3 – Printing Your Own Money

December 9th, 2009 rhenke Comments

This book really is worth every penny I paid for it. It’s kept me up late at night studying and motivated me to get into action in some new areas of creating financial security.

Here’s the final review documenting my progress with the ‘Conspiracy of the Rich.’

You can see Parts 1 and 2 here at the blog if you need to do a quick catch up:

New Rule of Money

Conspiracy – History in the Making

It’s been an exciting journey so far. Somewhere between Part 1 and Part 2 I had a call from the Rich Dad branding team and unbelievably Robert Kiyosaki created a video just for my blog with an awesome message for Network Marketers in the new economy.

Watch and listen to his message for you here if you didn’t see it yet:

Rich Dad Network Marketing Message

So let’s wrap up the review today.

This is all about learning the new rules of money. It’s a new game or at least it’s an old game but now anyone can learn how to play it if they are willing to invest time and money into their own financial education.

The conspiracy of the rich has been revealed both through this book and also through the frightening reality of the economy today.

For under $10 you can educate yourself on ‘The Language of Money,’ – this is the 6th New Rule of Money.

Robert Kiyosaki says that financial language is deliberately used to confuse us! Well if that is true the financial wizards have certainly done a good job there.

The 7th New Rule of Money: Life is a Team Sport – Choose Your Team Carefully.

This is a particularly interesting one for Network Marketing team builders isn’t it?

Then 8th and Last New Rule of Money: Since Money is Becoming a Worth-less and Less, Learn to Print Your Own!

Some of the book is very shocking and although I like to think of myself as a street savvy kid there was a ton of stuff in the book that I didn’t understand before and that I now have a greater understanding of.

Here are a couple of great quotes from the book to get you thinking and whet your appetite to start reading:

‘Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls-Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.’

‘The Federal Reserve is not American, not federal, has no reserves, and is not a bank.’

What do you think about that? Confusing hah?

‘The people with the most security are in prison. That’s why it’s called ‘maximum security.’

When you don’t have money, think and use your head. Never give into the poor person inside you.’

So how can you beat the conspiracy of the rich and print your own money?

The strongest message I got from the book was about the need to learn the language of money now.

Robert Kiyosaki talks in detail about how to diversify. He says most people think they are diversifying when they own various stocks on the stock market. (He refers to the stock market as gambling and advocates taking out insurance if you want to do it)

Here is a brief overview of how Rich Dad prints his own money and diversifies:

Invests in his own businesses
Invests in Real Estate for CASHFLOW (not capital gains)
Invests in the Stock Market
Invests in Gold and Silver. (This seems to be his way of saving, rather than holding cash)

If you’re new to thinking out of the financial box and are not yet familiar with the famous ‘cashflow quadrant,’ and the core principles of investing and the advantages of becoming a business owner then I highly recommend that you start with ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad.’

This is education for adults in the basics of the financial and business world that we didn’t learn in school.

If you haven’t yet read ‘The Conspiracy of the Rich,’ but are concerned about this economy and your financial future then this really is a must read for you.

I’m going to read it again in a few months so I can properly digest all the information and apply it as I develop my financial knowledge.

Take heed my good reader. Robert Kiyosaki predicts that the worse is far from over. He thinks the economy will take another big nose dive in the next couple of years when the next wave of ‘mortage resets’ come into play. (see P191)

He talks of the middle class being wiped out and more and more people living in ’shanty towns,’ on the outskirts of prosperous cities where the rich who understand the language of money live.

Robert has predicted many things in the past, that are already coming true, such as the massive wave of baby boomers retiring with no pension so I’m not going to be sitting on my laurels. (Whatever they are!)

If you are not yet building a Network Marketing business that is creating cashflow for you, and passive income for your future, listen to the short video message that I made especially for you here about the new economy and what you can do about it:

Special note: This offer is not for the curious. This is for those who are actually looking for a new business now. I am not looking to get you out of a business you are already in and happy with. I am looking for those who are looking for me!

Complete your details here to get your free access to ‘Safe is the New Risky,’ to learn more about how you can start creating cashflow and ‘printing your own money’ with a business model that is working in this economy.

Attraction Marketing – Online MLM or Offline For You?

November 24th, 2009 rhenke Comments

It’s been a confusing few weeks in the world of Attraction Marketing for MLM. Would you agree? I’m not just talking about the usual overwhelm and endless offers you receive to your inbox, but rather about the game changing strategic moves from Attraction Marketing leaders like Ann Sieg, Mike Klingler and Mike Dillard.

I mean what’s really going on?

confused

You get all fired up for building your MLM business online and then just as you’re getting the hang of it, Mike Dillard emails you that actually he’s now developing an offline system! There was a great interview he did this week that talks about this in more detail with Jerry Chen. You can watch it here if it’s still up. Mike Dillard and Jerry Chen Interview

It’s a long one but worth listening to if you are real student of this stuff. I extracted a few of the key points and will share them with you in case you don’t want to invest 77 minutes of your life watching this now:

Mike Dillard has recognized the need for an offline system. This has been triggered by the huge downturn in the economy and his realization that his parents can’t do what he does online. (Or may not want to bury themselves in Pay per Click campaigns etc.)

I can almost hear Randy Gage chuckling and saying ‘I told you so.’ The key to duplication is to have a large group of people taking a few SIMPLE actions over a long period of time. Okay Randy we hear you.

Mike Dillard said he is developing an offline system for his primary company so that the huge crowd of baby boomers heading our way can plug into building the business with their real life networking and warm market skills. (I hear ‘Ouch!’) I bet there were a lot of moans and groans from the diehard online crowd who almost spit at us guys who dare to talk to our friends and family about the best opportunity of our lives!

From my point of view I think Mike Dillard deserves credit for being honest about that. He could after all have just kept quiet about it and not risked messing with the enormous success of his Magnetic Sponsoring system.

What he actually observes in the interview is that offline is still not for him but he understands that it is needed for the baby boomers who are now much more receptive to MLM after many of them have experienced losing their ‘nest egg’ and pension plans.

This of course brings us full circle back to what I’ve been blogging about since I started two years ago. Even though I have a mad passion (some might say ‘obsession’) for creating systems and using social media for online marketing, I have never lost sight of the fact that it is not going to be for everyone.

The systems that are 100% online (until this point) are generally not Network Marketing programs. They are affiliate programs or direct sales programs which often have just a couple of levels in their compensation plan. Many people are working these types of sales businesses now and they are usually the first to knock MLM. This is because their hottest market is frustrated network marketers who are tempted by the promises of instant riches.

I’ve got nothing against sales businesses but they are not MLM and therefore operate much more smoothly with internet marketing sales techniques. On the downside they don’t offer the kind of hands off long term passive income that MLM does. Don’t get confused by this!

So what is the future of MLM? Is it online or offline?
Well you know what? I think it is online AND offline. It is old school AND new school. It is integrating good marketing and being an attractive person and marketer BOTH online and offline.

Whether you focus online (as I do) or offline as many do – it is a personal preference. Go with the flow of what you want to do and what fits best with your life.

Better still do BOTH! I’m very happy doing online but I have offline marketing skills ingrained in me from years of meeting people and doing MLM meetings offline prior to this.

I won’t lose these skills and if I meet a great prospect for my business out in the real world I know what to do, so it isn’t an issue for me. (Go here to read in my recent Attraction Marketing series how to drive offline prospects online if you need help with this integration)

What about you? Are you doing both or are you closing your mind to your upline business partners and refusing to do anything other than online?

This is okay if you have experience. If you don’t then I highly recommend that you plug into your team system (if there is one!) and get the skills you need for talking to people.

What many online marketing pro’s forget to mention is that they would not have the coaching and people skills that they have to be successful online if they hadn’t been through the trenches OFFLINE. (I know it’s a pain but I tell you the truth!)

Even if you generate 100 leads a day – unless you are in an online sales deal, you will need to speak to your business partners (whether you phone them or they phone you.)

You will need to COMMUNICATE with them and build trust with them.

Can a lot of this be done with blogging and email auto-responders?

YES of course it can. BUT you still need to be ready to connect with a real live person and say, ‘John – are you ready to get started?’

So with Ann Sieg sending out emails about offline Cash flow Seminars, (which has incidentally already been implemented by Randy Gage and Eric Worre for our MLM team system some time ago)..see press release: Randy Gage Cashflow System,
Mike Klingler promoting high level coaching courses which are not MLM specific, and Mike Dillard building a system for his parents to work offline with a sales business model… where does that leave YOU?

It leaves you in a place where you may be even more confused than when you started a few months ago.

So here are my top soul searching questions and answers for you to cut through the confusion and get yourself back to the centre line. (Building your MLM)

1) Q. Ask yourself – Am I a good socializer and busy outgoing person?

A. Yes = Go for massive offline campaign to get you started and build your business in your local area for starters.
B. No = Brand yourself online and get your MLM online funnel up TODAY. Otherwise you will just be faffing about chatting online.

2) Q. Do I enjoy spending a lot of time out of the home and am I turned on by being a local leader who supports and/or presents at my local meeting?

A. Yes = Go for it BIG. (Make sure to use tools, rather than just your mouth, and SYSTEMIZE your process)

B. No = Support your local meetings and do the basics for your warm market in your local area. Also work online and develop your marketing skills.

3) Are you a busy parent who is mostly based at home and likes it that way?

A. Yes = Online can be amazing for you. Invest in some good online training and coaching so that you can create a systematic marketing funnel for building and generating leads online. Also focus on interacting with people you meet as a busy parent. These can be the BEST prospects for you because you will have shared interests and a common desire to make a better life for your children.

B. No = Well you are probably not going to be at home on your computer but out working so you may be suited to doing more of an offline marketing campaign.

4) Do you like writing and/or creating videos?

A. Yes = Start a blog. (But do other offline/online stuff as well because 3 blog posts is NOT going to brand you and build your downline!)

B. No = Learn the basics online such as Facebook & Twitter. Start to build your online brand and have your MLM funnel set up online for hot prospects to request info about your MLM.

5) Do you enjoy spending hours working at your computer? ( I say working because Farmville is NOT working!)

A. Yes = Go for massive online action but remember that when you launch your business you must launch with your warm market also if you desire fast results.

B. No = Exit your home and do mostly offline but remember that branding yourself online is the future so make sure to do the basics with that aswell so that when your prospects are googling and researching they can find YOU online too.

Online takes more TIME to build than warm market because you have a lot of skills to learn and you have to develop lots of new relationships.

There are great residual long term benefits to building your own list though so it’s a great idea to do both if you have the patience and determination.

Okay my online-stopwatch.com has rung so I’m out of time today guys!

I hope this has helped you to get a bit clearer on the online/offline MLM issue.
