Are You a Black Belt Recruiter Yet?

November 3rd, 2009 rhenke Comments

Ok so you’ve just about got your head around how to generate some leads through your website and now comes the real work… What on earth are you going to say to these guys when you call your MLM leads?

Let’s look at a few different things you could do/say:

a) Call them and introduce yourself and see what the prospect is actually looking for (rather than ranting on about your wonder pills or ‘greatest compensation plan,’ in the history of the world! A.K.A ‘The Big Pitch!’)

This gentler version is known as the ‘consultative approach,’ for MLM and you can learn a lot more about that in Renegade University. When you think about it, it’s a great way to build relationships and network so nothing new there but it’s amazing how many ‘recruiters’ don’t do it.

b) Not call them at all… wait for them to be so ATTRACTED by your brilliance that they call you.

Yes this does happen and as you build your list and become more credible in online marketing and the MLM world, it will happen more and more BUT and this is a big BUT… if you sit waiting for the phone to ring when you’re just getting started in your business you are choosing the painful and slow route to recruiting.

Yes it requires some courage to pick up the phone (work with your sponsor on this or get the training you need elsewhere if that’s your situation.) The pay off is huge.

How are you going to ever learn how to recruit new business partners and product users if you are too scared to phone them?

Every time you call you will be practicing and getting a little bit better so that’s another great reason to start calling every lead you generate.

Unless you’re an internet direct sales marketer with a heavy hitting sales model or affiliate marketing business you need to speak to your prospects ASAP. and begin building the relationship with them.

The beautiful thing about building your MLM with online marketing is that it removes a lot of the time wasting of having to phone people who are not even interested. (although I still recommend you talk with your warm market when you start, but that’s another blog..)

However this is Internet Network Marketing or MLM using online tools. That’s all it is. It doesn’t mean that your auto-responder builds your team for you.

It is simply a tool – albeit the best tool I have ever discovered which means that all night long while I get my beauty sleep leads are plopping into my inbox.

Still you need to speak with your leads. Once you have so many coming in you can think about using a VA or Virtual Assistant to assist you for those initial calls, or only call back certain ones that email you or watch your video (if you have online tracking) etc. etc.

It’s up to YOU how you qualify your prospects BUT….(Another BUT!)

Until that day when you are flooded with leads please call them all. Start to develop the phone skills you need to be a top recruiter in your company.

Mike Dillard and Mike Klingler will both tell you that you still need to call your leads. No matter how fancy your capture page, there is no way around that so embrace it and make it fun.

Top Tip: Allocate batches of time where you just do calling. No distractions and no multi-tasking. (Apparently it lowers your IQ any way!)

If you have lots of leads set aside a couple of hours twice a week or whatever it is to call all your leads and say hi. If you’re just starting then set up a couple of times each day that you can try to reach them.

Find out what they’re looking for and assist them to come through your MLM online funnel with confidence.

A human voice makes all the difference in the world and will set you apart from the majority of network marketers who are new online and who think their auto-responder and capture page is going to build them a big team. (Yes really!)

Here’s an amazing free video for you today if you’re ready to start actually recruiting people rather than just creating fancy blogs and websites: Black Belt Recruiting Video.

The content in this video is pure gold and will show you that even Mike Dillard with all of his new school online marketing still practices and preaches ‘old school’ follow up which of course is just MLM 101, neither old school or new school!

For those of you already receiving Magnetic Sponsoring newsletters from Mike Dillard then you’ll know that he is arranging training courses for offline marketing now.

He has realized that many baby boomers and none geek types will want to do MLM in this new economy, but may not want to bury themselves learning all the skills needed to generate MLM leads online.

This is a happy day… Old School MLM meets New School in an amicable marriage of key networking skills.

Old School or New School – Just make sure you are ‘In School’ and put aside 1 hour to watch this incredible free training video interview series with Mike Dillard and Mark Wieser who personally sponsors over 250 people each year, and was one of Mike Dillard’s first mentors.

Recession and MLM – 3 Ways to Earn More Money Now

July 21st, 2009 rhenke Comments

So is it viable to be relying on your MLM business to bring you a big income in a time of recession? Are you finding it’s that little bit harder to get people over the line to sign up with you in your MLM? Or not?

I’m all for a prosperity mindset and am officially ‘not participating in the recession’ as advised by MLM legends Randy Gage, Eric Worre, and Information Marketing Queen, Ali Brown.

I do think however that to stick ones head in the sand and ignore the recession altogether when for the most part the majority of your target market is participating in the recession, could be economic suicide!

So how do we find the right balance in MLM or Network Marketing and the recession?

 

Here are 3 ways to earn more money in your MLM right now:

1) Join a couple of good MLM affiliate programmes or funded proposals such as Magnetic Sponsoring and/or Renegade Professional so that you can participate in something positive: the amazing growth in the Information Product industry.

I am finding that people are very willing to invest in their education as online attraction marketing is booming and Networkers both seasoned and new are realising that they need to learn about Social Media and building MLM online to even have a chance of competing in the market place.

You can brush up or get new marketing skills for attracting prospects to you online and you can pay for your education, or in my case make a handsome profit by pointing others in the direction of the best resources so they can do the same.

Tip: Many Network Marketers want to work online but don’t know how. You’ll be providing them with a real solution by pointing them to recommended programs instead of them wasting time and money joining the wrong ones.

 

With one of these programs alone I can pay my mortgage. It works on auto-pilot 24/7. That is a powerful statement in a time of recession.

2) Be flexible with your MLM entry levels. Most MLMs have at least a couple of entry positions. We are all very good at offering the top one, sometimes to the point where the guys who are struggling with cash (or even just with a lack mindset!) feel that if they don’t start at the top position they are better not to start at all.

Tip: I believe this to be incorrect. Better they start on the smaller package than not start at all! Better they join a solid program and come in at a lower level than join some cheapo $30 deal that promises them that they can build a residual income.

By joining these extremely cheap deals which may be popular in recession times (if you’re one of the ones who are tempted) bear in mind that when it is cheap to join, you are not going to earn very much! You get a commission based on what they pay for their starter products, when all is said and done.

The other thing is that if there is no substantial product offered it’s unlikely to produce much of a long term residual income. If the team members are not bonded with the product and wanting to use it every month then it is clear that your business will be more of a one off quick sale type. Personally I’d rather work with affiliate programs revolving around a high quality program, than a low end, low quality MLM.

I don’t think it does the MLM industry reputation any favours either. When we sign people up for $30 or even $50 what kind of mindset or commitment are they likely to be bringing to a new business….

Anyway back to the point here! Be flexible with your entry levels and let people come in at the level that they feel comfortable at. They can always upgrade later. Don’t be too rigid with how you’ve approached your business in the past – learn to be flexible in these tricky times.

3) Offer paid coaching. You can very quickly get yourself up to speed with some valuable marketing skills if you join either of the affiliate programmes that I mentioned previously. You can get skills that are in demand and that even Diamonds in your MLM do not have.

Tip: Make yourself more ‘attractive’ by investing in your own education. A little money and some time can go a long way.

You can charge for coaching: Renegade University and Renegade Professional in particular will teach you what you need to do and how to position yourself to do this.

You can offer attraction marketing coaching as a free bonus to those who sign up with you in your MLM.

Bottom line in times of recession you need to become as valuable as you can by improving your skill set, and offering more value to your prospects because let’s face it they may not be in such a rush to get their wallets out of their pockets, and they have an incredible selection of MLMs and MLM mentors to join. The only question is: ‘Why will they join with you?’

Should attraction marketers be open and proud about their MLM, or should they hide it?

June 1st, 2009 rhenke Comments

proud-athlete

There were some interesting comments the other day in response to this blog about MLM Online Systems I wrote.

Vincent was questioning whether as attraction marketers we need to hide our MLM opportunity or whether we can be proud of it.

Knowing when to introduce your MLM is a common concern with the new online attraction marketing business model.

Let’s look at (or remind you of) a couple of things here which I hope will guide you to a good place where you can feel comfortable and focussed about what you’re doing:

1) Always feel proud of your MLM business and don’t be ashamed of that. If you are not proud then I highly recommend having a good long think about why that is. Attraction Marketing is not an excuse to become an undercover agent who never prospects for your primary business unless someone begs to join you!

Jerry made a great comment and has some info on his blog about how to evaluate an MLM, so unless you are doing your business for love alone make sure you are in the right one for what you want to accomplish.

MLM Rockstar, the training audio by Randy Gage is freely accessible on this blog and gives the best overview of how to evaluate an MLM that I have yet to hear. It does introduce his company (and mine) on the back end as an example of a ‘category 4 company’ so only go there if you are open to listen to what’s going on with other companies.

This is actually a perfect example of how someone like Randy Gage gives value and attracts the right people to him. He advocates traditional marketing but notice how he attracts people in a magnetic way even with the old style model.

He does have strong opinions about what he likes in the industry and a very unique training style. It’s also an example of how I introduce an evaluation tool for MLM which works very well for those looking for a change and those new to the industry.

2) When building a ‘You Inc’ business model, your MLM is on the back end and your affiliate programmes are on the front. They sift and sort your prospects to attract quality people to you, and generate cash flow to fund your business.

3) Everything revolves around giving value. Whenever in doubt about what to do with your prospects, especially those who already understand MLM, say to yourself ‘what can I do to give value to this person in their marketing?’ (It could be as simple as sharing the email marketing system you use to build your list) This is not because you are seeking a new role as Mother Theresa either… It is simply the most effective way to do business and fortunately is very enjoyable and you will also be paid handsomely for it.

4) Once you have your customised marketing funnel in place and are giving value through auto-responders, blogs, and consulting with new affiliates, you will have built up sufficient credit with your list to be able to invite them to review what you have going on, where appropriate.

5) Set your customised funnel so that people can find details about your MLM so that if they are in the right place for a new opportunity they can click on your links, connect with you and let you know.

6) When you do a free consultation and assist that person you can ask them towards the end, if they would like to know more about working with your team. You can gauge when to ask this question by the responses they have given you throughout the consultation. (In case you cannot bear rejection!)

Top Tips for switching into the new business model (after years of conditioning in the old.. like me, it is a mindset shift to work on!)

Remember: It is the opposite of chasing, pitching and often repelling your prospects! It is based on having a real business where you are through your own commitment and learning, becoming more attractive to your target market because you have skills that can assist them with their MLM success.

If you are brand new and feel out of your depth that is okay. Just plug in with a training system and start to change that now. Follow your mentor and stick with it. It will be become lots of fun quickly – I promise!

If you feel the urge to pitch someone but have not qualified them as someone who is actually looking for a new opportunity then STOP yourself! Everyone is not your prospect for your MLM – they can seek you out through your marketing funnel, and find you, upon which you can introduce your MLM when/if they indicate interest.

What is amazing about this? 99% of people you speak to will not join your MLM. Get over it! Don’t cry.. it’s just the way it is. Even if they spin you a yarn about thinking it over until next blah blah just count that as a no for now. ‘Forever maybe’ prospects nearly killed me in the past! I don’t wish that upon you so pre-qualify your prospects.

Ok so what’s amazing Rachel? The amazing thing is that now you can make money and build a business relationship with fabulous MLM people even if they don’t join your MLM business now. They will be your wonderful affiliates and you can bless them and assist them with a win-win situation.

Do you really understand how powerful this is? If you do then you are already on your way to building a huge ‘you inc’ automated cash machine I am sure.

If you still don’t get it then there are a couple of things you can do as follows:

Join Renegade Professional and learn how to build your customised marketing machine. (This is the most incredible step by step training for how to set things up online that I have ever experienced)

You can have free access to this monthly membership site here and the Professional level will be opening up very soon I am happy to say. Mike Klingler had so many new students join that they had to close for 2 months to recover from the massive wave!

If you prefer one off investments and are computer literate and disciplined enough to learn from a manual then study Mike Dillard’s new Traffic Formula II which will be released on 4th June. A little bird tells me there will be an introductory offer so grab that if you’ve been sitting on the fence. (This gives you a free and highly converting and profitable affiliate programme to add to your customised marketing funnel when you invest in any one or more of the training materials)

Many people have asked me whether they need both or are they just the same? Well if you read my free e-book ‘7 Pieces’ e-book… you’ll be able to get more specifics on how and why I use both for my own training and as funded proposals for myself and my team.

As a word of warning for the budget conscious – Traffic Formula will not be a quick fix buy it and it’s the only thing you’re ever going to need (the holy grail magic medicine) so I recommend you buy it only if you are ready to study some new material and put aside the time to read and apply it. Otherwise it will be a perfectly amazing training course collecting dust on your shelf.

Renegade Professional suits all levels – right through from beginner to advanced but is a small monthly investment to get your education so check them both out and see what suits your learning style. (This is also an affiliate programme so by attracting a couple of new affiliates it pays for your education)

Last tip of the day. Start a Wordpress Blog (this self-hosted kind) if you didn’t already, and start generating your own unique prospects with attraction marketing so you can experience the power of building this ‘You Inc’ business model where you generate multiple streams of income and learn the skills to become a six figure earner that owns your own business 100%.

Make it a great day!

p.s I’m a Super Guide with Renegade University or Renegade Professional as it’s known, so I can help you to get started with that, and I have been an affiliate of Magnetic Sponsoring for 2 years, I own and have studied the courses so again if you have questions I can most likely assist you! :)

p.s.s I don’t pretend to have all the answers but this is my genuine opinion, based on what’s working for me now and how best to implement it.

MLM Attraction Marketing Online Training and Coaching Options for YOU

May 19th, 2009 rhenke Comments

Firstly, just a quick note about Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring Program – you can sign up for this program starting May 18th.

If you’re already a Professional member or in the Renegade University waiting for Professional to re-open you will be receiving emails about this new programme and I don’t want you to be confused!

This is a high end programme and I recommend it only for those who have a serious budget to invest in their training (see the link for details) and who want to build a huge online business around their MLM.

Again – if you simply want to just get started with building your MLM online then this is not for you (yet!) as you will be on information overload. It is for the more advanced affiliates who want to build information products and a huge online business around their MLM.

Okay? Clear on that hopefully as I hate to see people jumping in signing up for the wrong stuff that is over their head.

So what if it is for you? – There is no big rush – you’ll be able to join at any time, but for the first seven days (from May 18th) there are special bonuses which won’t be available later including a 1 free year membership to Renegade Professional. (Approx value $600) Therefore if you decide to enrol then it is a great offer and you can do so here: Renegade Breakthrough Mentoring with Free Renegade Professional Access

I’m a Super Guide ( no cape though!) with Renegade Professional and will be able to assist you by email or Skype if you have queries about the course.

Renegade Professional

I’ve had a lot of enquiries about this. They are due to re-open in approximately 2-3 weeks and then plan to stay open so you’ll be able to use it for training your team members and for building an additional stream of commission to fund your business.

This is the recommended programme in my 7 Pieces System which enables everyone, no matter how basic their skill level, to learn to be effective online and to establish an online presence and build their own list of subscribers.

As soon as it re-opens you will be notified on this blog and via email. In the meantime what can you do? Here is a list of things for you:

1. Take full advantage of the FREE resources in Renegade University. There is a ton of free material in there which will help you understand the business model. Enrol for the free training here on above link or login with your username and password if you have already enrolled.

2. Actually sit down and do the ‘Blogs that bring Prospects’ and the Twitter course there. They are free and absolutely excellent. You will be able to see by the training style if this is going to be for you so you are confident about enrolling in the monthly membership site when the opportunity comes.

3. If you didn’t already then make sure to grab your copy of Magnetic Sponsoring. This is the course book I recommend for attraction marketing. There are several out there but this is my favourite and it gives you a complete marketing system for you to monetize your list building.

For those in Renegade Professional already:

What are you waiting for? If you’re in you have access to the most detailed internet marketing training specifically for Network Marketers, available anywhere online today. I have checked out many resources and nothing comes close to Mike Klingler’s training site. I’m sure you’ll agree with me when you get going on the click by click tutorials which actually SHOW you HOW to set everything up online.

In case you are completely overwhelmed and caught like a rabbit in the headlights here’s an action list for you:

1. Log in to your Renegade Professional account.

2. Go to: Start Here Checklist and work your way through. Listen to the different steps about monetization and building a list.

3. Then and this is a biggie: put aside 2 hours to do the ‘Customise your plan webinar.’ Take notes and save the PowerPoint presentation that goes with this so you can go back to it as you progress without having to listen to the whole thing again.

It is looooooong but excellent. Mike Klingler shows you all your options and it is perfect for you if you are just getting started.

Download the ‘90 Day Plan’ and customise it for you based on the webinar. Commit to however many hours per week you can i.e. 10-15 is perfect for starting if you can’t do more.

Schedule your training time and make sure to do the tutorials. There is no way round this. You have to start somewhere to get these skills if you want to market online. Otherwise you’ll be like 90% of the other guys – spamming and tweeting online with no plan and no idea how to be valuable and to turn their skills and list into commissions and team members.

Big tip: If you need help with writing do the ‘Writing with pull’ course sooner rather than later. If you hate writing then look at the video course. You have to do something and when you start it is a lot of fun.

It’s a 3 month learning curve to establish a basic skill set so don’t be afraid of that. If you’ve been in your MLM for 1,3,5 years and still not anywhere near where you want to be then keep that in mind when you do this.

3 months is 3 months (based on 120 hours study/action time so however long it takes you, you can do much faster if you are full time) and you are building a long term asset that is owned by you, revolving round the MLM of your choice. You will not be completely dependent on your MLM Company for your income because you will learn to generate other income which is not in conflict with it.

7 Pieces System

This is the system I created for my team. The e-book is generic and you can get your complete blueprint of how to set up your attraction marketing cash machine here, inclusive the resources I use to simplify the process and cut through the overwhelm. If you didn’t download it yet then you can do so here: 7 Pieces Attraction Marketing E-Book.

Free Consultation

For those of you who didn’t yet schedule this with me the offer still stands. All subscribers to 7 Pieces who want to use any or all of the resources in the blueprint are eligible for a 45 minute consultation with me. Upon signing up or purchasing any of the courses through the link in the book, contact me to arrange your free consultation if you want one on one assistance in understanding how to get started fast and which resources can help you most with your personal goals.

One on One Coaching

I’ve had lots of enquiries about coaching and how you can get more assistance with your content building and attraction marketing. Here’s what I recommend:

First get started with Renegade Professional and learn the basic skills you need by following the aforementioned plan. If you create some content and then need personalised assistance you can pay for coaching if it is in your budget.

I encourage you to push through the frustrations and set about learning these skills yourself, not immediately seeking one on one assistance because the tutorials are designed to work through alone. You will benefit more by pushing through this learning curve like that rather than just asking someone else.

Renegade Professional offers a coaching service and I offer coaching in the following packages:

1. Free 45 minute consultation for affiliates (See my ‘about me’ page on the blog)
2. Unlimited coaching for my business builders (within reason!) This involves full training and coaching for building your MLM business with the 7 Pieces System and our recommended MLM. If you are not happy with your current MLM or are looking to get started with something new then go here: Agel Online System
3. Quick trouble shooting service by email or skype for all my affiliates.
4. Paid Coaching: I offer a limited number of personal coaching slots for those in other MLM’s who want one on one assistance. These are the kind of things you may be looking for extra assistance and consultation on:

For specialized help like having someone go over your blog, showing you how to use a tool like an auto responder, email marketing, article writing or Team Systems – you can hire a coach for some one on one time.

Contact me directly about this if you’d like more details. My contact details are on the ‘about Rachel Henke’ page of my blog. Coaching rates start at $100 or £50 per hour, with some special rates for bulk sessions.

Dependent on your skill set you may never require one on one assistance as Renegade Professional is an excellent training site and is as close to one on one mentoring as possible, as long as you will persevere with learning. (I had no guide and I survived!!)

5. The 7 Pieces Attraction Marketing Group on Facebook – join here for frequent updates and networking. (You’ll need to log in to Facebook)

One final thing…. This is not a magical get rich quick sign up, buy the one book and why doesn’t it do everything for me thing?

You are building a business, whether online or offline; it is not designed to be easy! It is supposed to be challenging or what will you be proud of when you’ve done it?

If you want the benefits of an MLM passive income then you need to get to work, choose your business model and stick with it. Don’t get distracted and don’t buy everything that comes your way as a quick fix solution.

Use the resources in the 7 Pieces e-book and please contact me if you have questions that are not answered in the book.

Have a great May!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How To Resist Being An MLM or Affiliate Droning Clone!

April 1st, 2009 rhenke Comments

rachelhenke_ebook_puzzletextsmall2This is not an April fool’s message. This is for real! If you’re building your MLM on the internet (or trying to) there are some things you need to do and some things you need to avoid.

Sounds simple enough but what are these things?

We won’t be going through a step by step training today on how to get your business on the internet and create a magnetic online presence which attracts high quality prospects to you asking for your advice every day… we’ve covered that many times in my blog.

What I would like to do is draw your attention to a pitfall that’s important for you to avoid.

Many of you have seen me transition from talking vaguely about doing the business online, through to being very specific about how to do it.

You’ve probably noticed that there are some specific programmes that I promote. For the last month I have been promoting Renegade Professional in a big way.

The reason for that is TIMING. Click back to my other posts if you want to know more about the launch of Renegade Professional as today the post is not about that either.

I also love to promote Magnetic Sponsoring. The reason for this is not because I love my MLM any less than I ever have. It’s also not because I am distracted from my MLM and have become a teaching guru who doesn’t work in the field.

It is simply because I believe this to be the best way of building your business online. It all works perfectly with the MLM of your choice and offers the most fun, stress-free way of building the business that I have found in 6 years.

6 years is not that long… but let’s face it it’s not that short either! I deserve to find my blissful way to build my business as do you.

So back to the main message of today. When you are choosing your funded proposal(s) and aligning yourself with other organisations that are not directly related to your MLM please do an integrity check.

Do these organisations represent your values? Do you feel you can promote them from the heart? If you are after a quick buck it will show. Never doubt that in this transparent world of social media and web 2.0 your followers, fans, critics and sneezers (your biggest fans who spread your message) can see exactly what you are up to.

So what’s my point? Make sure you set up your attraction marketing cash machine with some thought and critical thinking.

To get real leverage and have commissions hitting your inbox every day even before any one joins your MLM you need to get behind something long enough for people to associate you with it.

I recommend having some key programmes that all work together in your system and lead through to your MLM where relevant.

Remember this new business model is NOT about pitching. You don’t need a funded proposal and online cash machine to pitch. You can do that at the car wash or at the Tesco check out.

Once you have set up your cash machine which can take anything from a couple of weeks through to several months, depending how complex you want it to be, all the lights are green.

You’ll already be making money in your first few days or weeks, depending on where you start. Leads will start to flow as you slot your cash machine elements together.

It all sounds wonderful doesn’t it? And it truly is as long as you follow through and set it up correctly.

The pitfall to avoid in my opinion at all costs is to resist becoming a clone for your new affiliate programmes. In the same way that it is no longer attractive to be droning on about your MLM products or business opportunity all day long, it is also completely unattractive to do the same for your lead generation programmes.

In the Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto, the very controversial Ann Sieg talks of the need to differentiate your self. There is so much truth in this. From her point of view it’s probably better for business if everyone were just to spread her product message.

Fortunately she is practicing what she preaches and providing real value. The value comes in this message and I paraphrase in case you haven’t yet got to grips with the long report: use the basic stuff Renegade provides but get into creating your own stuff ASAP!

That’s a message you don’t hear very often in MLM right? It’s a little shocking hey.
You can actually create your own cash machine and you can do it in a way that is fully duplicatable for those who want to duplicate in a style that suits them.

Yes I know this is a HUGE and controversial topic. Thing is I don’t believe that there is only one way of duplicating. I have seen it in my organisation. There are some who love our traditional system, can’t get enough of it and enrol people every day.

Then there are the others. The ones who can’t quite get to grips with it. It doesn’t quite fit with their strengths or they just can’t bring themselves to talk to the big cheese at work about the benefits of joining the business. They are deathly afraid of rejection.

There is always another way. After just reading ‘Tribes,’ by marketing genius Seth Godin I can see that as I suspected, the new leaders of MLM will be building the business in a new way. To expect new leaders to build in an old way would be odd.

So be mindful of the fact that to do this in a big way the sooner you figure out who your audience is, what your niche market looks like and what your personal message is that is fully aligned with your values, the sooner you will become an online MLM Rockstar.

It’s fabulous to be enthusiastic about your mentors and programmes. Just make sure you’re not singing somebody else’s song all day long. Don’t fall into the trap of being an affiliate or MLM clone!

Sing your own song and mix your melodies up a little! Have fun and if you’re still confused about how to set up your marketing machine so it’s unique to you then I have very good news for you.

Any day now I will be releasing a completely free, completely generic report that will show you exactly how to set up everything. You will be able to have the basics in place immediately.

It will show you exactly which resources to use to get the best results and best of all it will answer all those troubling questions swimming around in your head.

I know they are there because my report has been written in response to all these questions that people are asking me. Here are some of the things we’ll be covering in the report:

  • How things have changed in Network Marketing (Many don’t even know they have!)
  • What Attraction Marketing really is. (Many experienced Network Marketers have no clue how to transition into building their business online)
  • We’ll talk about the sponsorship line issue. Can you still do this if your sponsorship line doesn’t approve or get it?
  • The holy grail of duplication and how to duplicate online even if you are confused! (Something that has just got a lot easier because of certain web 2.0 tools which I will share with you)
  • How to transition into online marketing and not get sucked into the gaping black hole of ‘overwhelm.’
  • How to actually set up your Attraction Marketing Cash Machine FAST and brand it with YOU Inc.

I’m going to share all of this with you at no charge. All you will need is your time to read it. Have you got the time? Are you looking to break through with a better way? Are you going to be one of the new MLM leaders?

Attraction Marketing – Pros and Cons of the New Business Model and is it Right For You?

February 4th, 2009 rhenke Comments

I’ve been playing around with attraction marketing for quite some time now and have been very excited by the possibilities it represents. However, for all the very smart concepts around it I’ve also seen a lot of confusion and misunderstanding around it, much of it in my own head!

Recently I decided to approach the new business model full on and to research, analyse and practice it so I can see how it really works, and tie up all the components. Why did I do this? Well several reasons really:

1) I love the idea of having an automated cash machine so that I am building other streams of income that don’t compete with my MLM but allow me to have a cash flow engine on the front of my residual income.

2) I think if we don’t move with the new technology and take advantage of Social Media (Web 2.0) we will be left crying on the sidewalk wondering what happened.

3) All Network Marketing leaders look for ways to help their group to be more productive and profitable and of course if we can make it easier then why not?

4) I have come to understand that if you want to be an effective marketer in any business you must learn to develop your own list of subscribers.

My background is in traditional Network Marketing and I have now been in the industry for 6 years, with 2 different companies. It has been an emotional and exciting journey and some parts of it have been better than others!

On the whole it has been an amazing journey of self discovery, personal development and I have come out the other end as an entrepreneur with a range of valuable skill sets which I don’t think I could have got in any other industry. (Certainly not in my previous roles as a fund administrator, banker and multi-tasking PA) I am thankful for that and to all the wonderful mentors and upline who have helped me to become the person that I am today.

All of that being said the only thing we can really be sure of is that things always change. Why should that then not be the case for Network Marketing? I joined a new emerging company which does things in a very different way to the first very ‘old school’ company which was a giant leap forward for me.

I learned about building culture and duplication in my organisation, and I learned how to leave the old school methods of buttons, flyers, parties and full on selling behind. Phew what a relief!

My new business model has a great training and support system in place that works without me, and also an easy autoship which completely scaled up the way we do business. Gone were the heavy monthly volume requirements along with the frontloading of tons of products for new members to ’sell.’

When I first discovered the ‘7 Great Lies of Network Marketing,’ I found it irritating and enlightening all at the same time. Much of the content rang true with me in relation to the way we did things in my first company.

What irritated me was the way the marketing around the book seemed to lump all companies (even modern ones like mine) into the same old pile of … well if you’re not doing everything online and you’re daring to share something you’re excited about with your friends and family you are old school.

I admit I did not like the message and I even blogged about it at the time. I think it is damaging to the industry to advertise negative messages about Network Marketing companies. I still think that but I also understand that without a little ’shock’ marketing nobody would bother reading it!

Many of the unscrupulous marketers have no clue what the company they are talking about is even doing… never mind how successful your individual sponsorship line may be. So what has changed? What caused me to reassess and actually buy Ann Sieg’s book despite some of the negative publicity around it?

Well I have been using Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring system for quite some time now and I have been very impressed by the products and affiliate programme he offers. I have also made some great commissions on autopilot which gets the vote in my book!

The problem I came up against and I imagine many others come up against is how to actually implement what he teaches into a full and comprehensible step by step business model.

If I was to automate the business and monetize my leads then I needed to find a way to take it to the next level. Enter Renegade University. I initially dismissed this opening door because I presumed that it was a part of Ann Sieg’s system and at that time I wasn’t open to research.

Oh what a mistake! I nearly missed out on what for me has been some of the most enlightening and detailed training about marketing online in one place that I have ever found. Mike Klingler is a gem of a trainer and he understands the need for step by step systems that enable your team members and business partners to go at their own pace.

Why did I go back to ’school?’ Well for the Network Marketer and Home Business entrepreneur school is never out. If it is then we’re in the wrong business!

I’ve found a resource which enables me to learn advanced skills in email marketing, how to generate better performing original web content, how to build my own marketing system, and at the same time enabling me to offer to my current and future team members a way to plug into a comprehensive training system designed for the beginner to learn how to apply the new model of attraction marketing.

All of that then leads into my primary business where appropriate. No begging and no drama. It is a sorting and sifting machine on steroids. I stopped begging a long time ago but I know that many feel that is the position they are in with some of the business models they follow.

This is absolute heaven and very good news for all those leaders who are wondering how to apply Web 2.0 to their business and even more challenging how to teach it to their team! Mike shows you how to implement what you learn and simultaneously produce the content so you are time efficient. It’s a very cool process.

The Renegade University and Renegade Professional is the place where you can plug in your affiliate links, including Magnetic Sponsoring and Ann Sieg aswell as other streams of income from services that people need to build their business anyway.

One can choose to study just Magnetic Sponsoring or just The Renegade Marketer as one wishes. Ann Sieg a bit in your face? No problem, just leave her out of your cash machine for now. It’s up to you as this is YOUR cash machine.

You may find as I did that when you get past the hype about her book, she actually has some very solid marketing ideas and compliments the new model very well.

If you like Mike Dillard but don’t know how to get it all in one place then here’s the
solution. Visit the Renegade University and check it out for yourself. Serious marketers need to go to the Professional Level asap. And if the trial offer for $1 is still available then grab it here by signing up and going to Step 3: Learn More About Attraction Marketing.
