Work at Home, MLM Network Marketing, Free Tips and Training

In previous MLM Network Marketing training topics I’ve written about identifying different color personalities.

It’s important to know how to identify the different personality colors so you know how to talk to them in a way which makes the other person feels comfortable.

If the person you are talking to feels comfortable, you will quickly be able to build the know, like and trust foundation.

This is so important to building relationships in our business and life!

MLM Network Marketing Training, Step 1 - Identifying a Yellow Personality

The yellow is a nurturer, open and indirect.

If you ask this person a question they will answer you in a warm, friendly manner, but they will only answer the question you’ve asked then stop, they will not expound.

They are the best listeners, and easy to get along with, everyone has kind words to say about them.

They are team players, supportive and nurturing. They are wonderful to have as part of your team or organization.

Yellows have built large organizations when they finally get the belief that they can do it.

MLM Network Marketing Training, Step 2 – How to bring a Yellow into your Business

When you’re talking business with a Yellow, don’t talk about the money.

Yup you read me right!

If you talk about money, money, money you’ll turn a yellow completely off.

The most critical thing to do with a Yellow is build a relationship. Don’t even mention a company name, product or how much they can make!

Focus on building the relationship, don’t brag about how many cars, houses or boats your upline has. Don’t talk about all the money they are making.

This is the kiss of death when talking to a Yellow.

Talk about your family, your pets, the charitable works you do or the charitable donations you make.

The Yellow needs to know you’re a caring person, not money hungry!

That’s how you make points with a Yellow!

Maybe after reading this you’ll be able to think back to the way you’ve approached some of the yellows you know and, now, you can understand why they were polite, but then avoided you.

This MLM Network Marketing Training is very different than the information/techniques we usually receive from our uplines.

But considering that 35% of the population is Yellow and hates pushy aggressive salespeople, I think you’ll find this MLM Training much more useful!

To experience MLM Success, you can't "pitch" someone on your MLM Business or product until they know, like and trust you.

Many MLM newbies and veterans alike, make some basic communication mistakes while talking to prospects, therefore never really creating any type of know, like and trust rapport.

By rectifying some simple communications errors, you can really kick your MLM prospecting and MLM Success up another notch!

MLM Success Communication Tip #1

Humor Me! : )

Believe it or not, this is probably the single most important communication tip I could give you. People are attracted to people who have a smile on their face, are having fun, and are approachable.

Think about the last time you bought something, if the person you bought from was enjoying what he/she was doing and having fun, I'll bet you were pretty inclined to at least listen to what they had to say.

MLM Success Communication Tip #2

Relax Your Body.

This very much relates to the previous tip, but it's important to relax when you're speaking to someone. If your body is stiff, people unconsciously start mimicking you and start feeling stiff themselves. When people start stiffening up, they also start "closing off".

Now I'm not suggesting you should be flinging your hands and arms all over the place when you're speaking, but a calm, relaxed posture will go a long way to making your prospect relax themselves and this will, unconsciously, "open up" the lines of communication.

MLM Success Communication Tip #3

Use Silence for Impact.

In this day and age with so much "noise" around us, many people feel uncomfortable with silence.

But, the use of silence when you are speaking, really helps your point "sink in". It helps the other person hear what you've just said.

Silence also provides a natural break in the conversation and allows the other person to ask any questions they may be thinking.

Remember what your Grandmother said Silence is Golden, this is very true when creating rapport. It gives the other person a chance to talk and communicate back to you. Which is a true conversation.

Applying these 3 MLM Success Tips will help you build the rapport you need when talking to people so you can build a solid MLM Network Marketing Business.

Fear is a common thread holding people back in their MLM Network Marketing Success. The following is a great story by Bob Proctor recalling his first experience in hitting the Terror Barrier. Maybe you can recall the first time you hit yours, it could be your first step in overcoming your MLM fears!

The Terror Barrier

The first ten years of my stay here on Planet Earth were spent in Owen Sound, Ontario. I can vividly remember the hot summer day I was taken by an older member of my family to Harrison Park where there was a fine swimming pool. The older kids were going up the ladder and jumping or diving off the high diving board. They were having a great time. Wanting to be accepted by the older kids, I too went up the ladder, reluctantly, but I climbed it.

I will never forget the terror that gripped my mind and body when I looked down. Their coaxing did absolutely no good. There was no way I was going off that board. I climbed back down the ladder.

That was the first time in my life that I can recall coming up against the Terror Barrier. I not only lost out on the excitement and thrill that would have been gained by jumping. I lost a little self-respect also.

If you think hard enough, you will recall the first time you came face to face with the Terror Barrier. You either stepped through it to freedom or back into bondage, imprisoned by your own fears.

I continued to step back from anything I truly feared until I was twenty-six years of age. Then with the encouragement of a caring person, I said "no more" and I have been free ever since.

The Terror Barrier comes up in front of us every time we attempt to make a major move in life, into an area we have never traveled before.

I have sold businesses in Canada, the U.S.A. and England for years and I could not even guess at the number of times I have sat with men and women who come right up to that barrier wanting to go ahead but not being able to. These were people who could have succeeded and wanted to, but didn't.

Is that Terror Barrier holding you or your business back? Do what I did and crash through. The compensation is incredible.

It's the New Year again and you want to take your MLM to the Next Level. So, what's your MLM New Year's Resolution?

Is it to hit the phones harder? Talk to more people about your business? Or, are you looking for a $ figure? Do you want to finally start making money in Network Marketing?

Drum Roll Please.....

Would you like to know what mine is? OK. Here it goes.......I don't have one.

Yes, you read that right. I don't have one. Why? I don't believe in them. Not for anything in my life.

I Hate Feeling Bad!

Here's the reason. They don't work. And, the added benefit is, they make you feel terrible about yourself, because now you've just added another thing to the big pile of stuff you've "failed" at.
Yuck! Who needs that? Not me, so I don't do them.

My advice to anyone who wants to be successful at MLM Network Marketing at this time of year is to just refocus on what's been working for you in growing your business.

Was Christmas Crazy?

Let's face it, the past month has been CRAZY with all the holiday stuff going on. You probably already feel a little guilty because you haven't been able to put the attention to your business you would have liked to. Now's not the time to add to those guilty feelings with resolutions that will make you feel worse.

Instead, use this time to refocus. Recommit. Learn some new skills so you can talk to people without feeling so uncomfortable. Take positive action steps that will move you towards a goal and make you feel good.

Resolutions tend to be goals with no plan behind them leaving you feeling terrible.

Learn A New Skill!

Taking positive action steps is something you can, and should, be doing throughout the year, not just at New Years. Which is the reason I don't make New Year's Resolutions.

Changes and improvement should be done throughout the year in your MLM when you see fit, not just at the beginning of the year.

To help you start your Network Marketing Business off on the right foot this year, learn some good MLM skills with my free eBook.

Why do we treat all MLM prospects the same? Are you in the market for a new house? How about a new car? Or, say, a new spouse or partner?

No, No and NO

If you answered No, No and NO, imagine you were approched by someone offering any of these things. Is it safe to say you wouldn't be interested? Probably.

I find many people wasting their valuable time and precious energy prospecting others who are not interested in either their MLM products or MLM business opportunity. They end up getting frustrated and dejected because they weren't given this one little tip:

Quailfy Your MLM Prospects!

So often we are told, talk to everyone you meet, share your MLM products and MLM biz opp with all your friends and family, your mouth is your office keep open and keep talking.

In your heart of hearts, does this really make sense to you? Do you really think that everyone is a MLM prospect? Will you take anyone that will fog a mirror into your business?

If you answered yes, then we need to talk, because not everyone is qualified to be in your MLM business.

Need vs. Want

One thing I learned early on is this, people might need what your MLM opportunity or product has to offer but they may not want it.
There is a clear difference here. Just because people need what you have, that does not make them a MLM prospect......they have to want it too!

Good MLM Question!

Here's a great question you can use while doing your MLM prospecting.

When you hear someone complaining about something you can help them with by either your MLM business or products, listen to what they are saying then ask, "Would you like to do something about that?"

How simple is that? Just ask a question. Don't barrage them with all of you incredible MLM features and benefits, keep the focus on them, ask that simple question and listen, I mean really listen!

You may be surprised to find out that the person you're talking to actually likes to be unhealthy or poor. Don't laugh....it's true! That's the way some people get their identity.

The MLM Secret

Here's the secret, don't talk to them about your business or products. They won't buy anyway and you'll have wasted a TON of energy trying to convince them that they want what you have.

Save that energy and put it towards something that will actually benefit you, like finding and talking to qualified MLM prospects!

Got a question? Email me! TheMLMmom@yahoo.com

I was talking to a lady the other day who told me she was looking into starting her own Network Marketing company.
Nothing new here, happens everyday. Someone has a product and the best way to get it to market is through Network Marketing.

I asked her what her product was. She proceeded to tell me it was a device that you attach to your car's engine that converts tap water into a hydrogen fuel. "It saves gas and lowers emissions, it's the most incredible thing ever invented."

A Metoo Product

"Not another gas thing", I thought, but we continued.

I asked her, "Is this a one time MLM product sale? If it is, how are people going to create a residual income? The first item to look for in a Network Marketing Company are products that are consumable, where's the consumable part of that?"

She answered, "Yeah, I'm still trying to figure that out. But it's really not about the money, we are saving Mother Earth. It's all about the Planet."

Red Flag #1

"OK", I thought, "Just what people want to do in MLM, not make money." MLM Red Flag #1.

"I'm curious", I asked, "Don't you need a special convertor for the tap water? I mean you can't just put tap water into a hydrogen cell." (The only reason I knew this by the way, is it just so happened my husband, son and I were talking about Honda and the other big car companies coming out with hydrogen type engines in the near future.)

Red Flag #2

"Oh, no", she replied, "This inventor has made it so you can use actual tap water, nothing special is needed. It's the most incredible thing since the combustible engine!" OK, MLM Red Flag #2.

The REALLY, REALLY BIG Red Flag!

The conversation goes on and I ask her about the EPA. "Surely you've gotten all the testing you need to do to get the claims you making past the EPA." I ask.

There is dead silence on the other end. Uh oh, I'm thinking. So I continue, "You do know that you can't just put a product out there and make a whole bunch of claims before you pass all of the EPA testing.....right? I mean, the government will come and shut you down in a NY minute if you do that. It has happened to a few companies within the past 6 months."

I could hear her catching her breath, "No," she said, "I didn't know that. You mean we can't just set up the company and start offering the product?"

"Well, I guess you could, but you won't last very long."

"Wow, I guess I'd better start looking into that."

I agreed and answered some more questions.

The Most Important Item in Network Marketing

When we got off the phone I kept thinking about everyone in Network Marketing who has joined a company that doesn't have Pillar #1 in place.....Company Management with MLM Experience and Integrity.

If you don't have that, you are already dead before you start.

You are putting your future into the hands of people who either don't know how to run a Network Marketing company so it gets run into the ground. Or, people who know how to take all of your money and leave you high and dry. Either way it has a bad ending.

MLM Joke of the Day:

A Yankee lawyer went duck hunting in eastern North Carolina. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly gentleman asked him what he was doing. The lawyer responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, I'm going into retrieve it."

The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything!

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things here in North Carolina. We settle small disagreements like this with the NC Three-Kick Rule."

The lawyer asked, "What is the NC three-Kick Rule?"

The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up."

The Yankee attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old southerner. He agreed to abide by the local custom.

The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the Yankee lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly wiped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.

The Yankee lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, "Okay, you old redneck southerner, now it's my turn."

The old North Carolina farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."

*********************************************************************************************

Guess the moral to this story is know the rules before you start playing the game!!!

That means if you're in any MLM, or even thinking about getting into a MLM, read your Policy and Procedures!

I could really help alleviate your pain in the long run!!!

Make it a Great Day!

Jill goes totally against the tide in this article explaining why approaching friends and family does't work and isn't duplicatable in MLM.

*********************************************************************************************

Yes, you read that correctly. Do NOT approach family and friends when you are starting a new home based business. Unfortunately, this is not what is taught by most of these types of companies.

The Dreaded List Of Family & Friends

Most home based business have you create a list of friends and family to get your business started. Well, I don't know about you, but I would have rather walked across hot burning coals than to turn to my friends and family to start building my customer list.

Now don't get me wrong, I loved my products but I didn't want my company built on sympathy purchases. You know, those purchases one make just because you don't want to hurt someone's feeling.

The Sympathy Purchase
Find the cheapest item possible.
Purchase it.
Do not spend a bunch of money.

How To Build Your Home Based Business Without Approaching Family And Friends

First, understand that most home based businesses will take time to build. Stay away from the instant, get rich, make money in your sleep programs. They don't work.

The best way to never have to approach your family and friends is to focus on investing your valuable time with a home based business that has a duplicatable program.

The Duplicatable Program

Why is duplication important?

Well, I remember with the first home based business (I'm not with them anymore) the tools I had to build my business was a DVD video that was full of hype, a worksheet to list friends and family, and a powerpoint presentation for a notebook presentation.

Wow! These tools did not work for me and they were not working for the majority of the people in the company.

It wasn't until later that I discovered that there are home based businesses out there that have real tools that worked.

For example, online tools (not your business website) that attract customers for you. Interactive training calls where you can learn how to be totally non-threatening and learn how to spot a person's personality type within 1-2 minutes on the phone. Resource guides that give you tested, proven, successful scripts and step-by-step how to instructions.

When there's a duplicatable system, it is easy to plug in and start building without approaching friends and family.

Need help making your system duplicatable?
Send a message. I'll help anyone, in any company, ANYTIME.

"Be a mentor with a servant's heart!"

Visit Jill on MySpace!

Lots of people I talk to want to know how to drive people to their website. Here's a fantastic article from Terry Montague's (aka Monte) blog on exactly how to do that!

*********************************************************************************************

So you have your website published and because of your well-thought out verbage, meta tags and html coding you're confident and secure in your knowledge that soon the search engine spiders will be swarming to your site like they were hunting flies in a virtual web. But despite your best efforts, are you not getting the results you'd hoped for?

Why not throw out some bait?

Nothing changes if nothing changes

The more often your site content changes, the more often the search engine spiders will drop in for a visit. Depending on your product or service, your business site may not require revisions on a regular basis. This means that it may be three months or more between visits to your site to index it. This is a good reason to change you page content with some frequency. If you have daily content revisions, it shouldn't take more than a month or two for that particular page to be analyzed daily. This is an excellent reason to consider using a blog as a cornerstone of your internet business. Make sure to include links to your primary product or services site. Then be sure to list it with blog searches and registries.

Incoming linkage

Did you know that inbound links are a major factor in your search engine relavence results? Basically the more activity your site generates, the more attractive it becomes to all manner of virtual insects. So in addition to adding links from your blog, make comments on other people's blogs and leave your link. Get on MySpace or other community sites and do the same. Write articles and use links to your sites in the resource box. They may very well get republished and added to RSS Feeds. Don't forget to issue press releases for your articles as well as your blog.

Be a team player

Get with team members in your upline and have them add links to your sites. Ask them to republish your articles or blog entries. Link to the websites of members on your team. Team co-operation and website interaction help build a strong and successful organization. Rule of thumb is to always link downline to encourage team growth. However, depending on your relationship with team members and how your business is organized this guideline is flexible.

Track your traffic

Find out what works and what doesn't so you can better concentrate your time and effort where it has the most impact on your site traffic. Set up a free Google Analytics account. Not only will you see where your visitors found you link, you will also discover their physical location, computer platform, browser version, screen resolution and other factors affecting successful website design.

Forge a trail to your site

Collect incoming links to your site with a vengeance. Make it a hobby. Leave breadcrumbs all along the internet highway. Someone will take the bait and end up at your site.

It goes without saying that you should make their trip well worth the effort.

Let me share with you what I came across today in an MLM Training article that put a pit in my stomach:

When asked about failure NaPier said; "There's a myth going around that 95% of people who start a home business fail. Truth is, 95% of the people who don't commit to success in home business fail. It's easy to blame people, systems, marketing methods and time for failue, but the key element lies within you. Home Business success is not found taking an easy way out, it's found when you commit, challenge yourself and follow through."

So, what color do you think this guy is? This is exactly the kind of stuff you'll hear from a MLM Red personality. It's all your fault. You didn't do it right, you don't want it bad enough, you want the easy way out, blah, blah, blah.

This belief is exactly what's wrong with MLM nowadays. If this is the type of talk you are hearing in your MLM today ask yourself, "What type of MLM Training am I really getting?"

If all I'm told to do is get out there and talk to all my family and friends, make my 100 names list, get 100 no's, talk to everyone within 3 feet, guess what......I'm not going to do that!

Is it becasue I'm lazy? Is it because I don't want it bad enough? Is it becasue my dreams aren't big enough? No, No, and No.

I'ts because I'm not a Red personality! And guess what, most people aren't! Only 15% of the population are Reds and of that 15% only half can do what they "train" you to do.

Everyone else doesn't want to become that pushy, agressive salesperson! There's nothing wrong with that!

Get the real skills you need and learn to do this business in a way that's right for you.

Learn how to actually market yourself and your products. Learn about the Network Marketing industry, talk to others who have been successful doing MLM because they found a way that was comfortable for them.

There's nothing wrong with "getting out of your comfort zone", but getting out there has to be in a way that's true to your value system.

Otherwise you'll do it for a little while, but won't be able to continue becasue it's not who you inherently are. The MLM training you receive should feel right to you not give you a pit in your stomach!

No go out there and have some fun!
Guess what color I am!
