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.
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 peopleā¦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.
