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.

I found the following post on Brenda Bunney's MLM Blog. It give some good solid info on what to look for, and avoid, in a MLM Organization contract. If you want to be Successful in MLM, this is important information, so read on.


The Policies and Procedures set forth by an MLM organization is your contract. If you sign it, be prepared to agree to all that is addressed within. How do you know your MLM company management has integrity?

Read the free ebook “Success In 10 Steps” for free training and tips on how to recognize integrity in your MLM company.

Yes, all MLM companies must have a way to make required changes that may be required by the state or federal government. Laws vary from state to state.

Does your MLM contract contain the following?

1) Ongoing requirements that will never let you retire i.e. (5 retail receipts per month, regular contact and training responsibilities for your MLM organization)

2) Statements allowing the MLM organization to cancel your contract at any time without cause.

3) Monthly sales requirements that if not met, the contract is void?

The above three items are just examples of policies I have found in various MLM organizations that show a lack of integrity among top management.

There is a combination of items all potential distributors may research to assure themselves as much as possible that their MLM company management will operate with integrity regarding the distributors.

The free ebook “Success In 10 Steps” provides training for those interested in a MLM organization home verses one stop in a string of disappointing ventures.

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.

In many types of MLM Training you will hear much talk of goals and goal setting. The following quote pertains to goals and is one that I find very true and powerful.

"The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams."

Og Mandino
1923-1996, Author of The Greatest Salesman In The World

One very important habit for MLM Success, albiet any success, is small attainable goals. I've seen many people set very high goals, but then become overwhelmed because there was no path for them to actually attain those goals.

It's the small, daily, almost boring steps that one takes everyday which will ultimately bring success. As my Mother would tell me growing up;

"Suzanne, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step".

Then, it's the constant, putting one foot in front of the other, that eventually gets you to where you want to go.

The Problem with MLM Network MarketingTraining

When you attend the MLM training seminars put on by your company or heavy hitters, you'll hear talk of dreaming big, thinking like millionaires, etc.

That's all well and good, but there needs to be a process in place where you can break that dream down to the small, tiny steps you must take each day in order to achieve that success.

Many times, after such trainings, distributors come home all pumped up, ready to set the world on fire, but have no specific plan to achieve that MLM success. This is where the problems start.

Baby Steps

You must have set out, small attainable goals which you can achieve on a daily basis. Goals in which you are moving yourself forward ever so slightly, but forward nonetheless. This is not fancy or glamorous, but it will get you to where you want to go.

Goals, or making a commitment to, advertising your business, blogging more frequently, or however your company allows you to find more mlm leads will work very effectively.

After all, it all comes down to finding people to talk to, building a relationship built on trust and mutual respect and then seeing if there is a fit when it comes to your business or products.

Next time you are at a MLM Training seminar, see if you can take those huge goals and break them into little bitty pieces.

Then, that type of MLM Training has a much better chance of bringing you MLM Network Marketing Success!

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!

I'm sure this MLM failure feeling is one in which most everyone in MLM can identify! Why is it that 95% of those who try MLM experience failure?

Let me tell you some of the the reasons I've seen for MLM Failure.

The first reason, and by far the biggest reason for MLM Failure in my opinion, is people are told if they want success, they need to change.

For example, if you are someone who is not pushy and you don't want to make a 100 name list, or talk to everyone within 3 feet of you about your business, then you "don't want it bad enough".

A person may try to do this in the beginning, but ultimately they will struggle and fail because they are not being true to themselves. No one can deny who they are and have any type of sustained success.

So the biggest reason I have seen for MLM Failure are people who are in the wrong type of MLM System. They are in a Red Personality system. Only 15% of the population are Red's and of that 15% only about half of those can even do what most MLM Systems require you to do.

Be true to yourself because ultimately that is what will bring you success!

Another reason I've seen people struggle is they don't have the proper MLM skills training. Knowing how to build relationships is key. Asking questions to build those relationships takes even more skill. Getting the correct training, not the MLM Hype Training, will lead you out of the MLM Failure forest!

Still another reason is they don't understand their MLM compensation plan and the type of behavior it drives in the field. Many MLM Compensation plans drive the recuit, recruit, recruit mentality.

Don't get me wrong, that is important to growing your business, but do you know how many people it will take in your MLM compensation plan to make the money you want?

I've seen different MLM compensation plans that take as little as less than 400 people to over 15,000 people to make $10K per month.

Who do you think has the easier time making that amount of money? Which plan is easier for part timers, about 95% of your team, to make the money they want to earn? Which plan do you think has less turnover of distributors?

Gives you something to think about, huh?

STOP the MLM Failure Cycle!

Why? They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!

Yet, don't we find ourselves doing that every day when we go out and try to get someone into our business? They aren't interested in what we have, but try to convince them that they really need what we have.

Sound familiar? Next time you find yourself doing that, please stop yourself and remember to Never Argue with an Idiot.

I'm not saying they are an idiot, but I am saying not everyone is a prospect. Acutally, most people are not prospects.

I am saying don't try to convince people to join you in your business, it's a no win situation. You end up looking like a salesperson, which everyone hates, and you end up getting battered and rejected which is something you hate!

Get some good, basic MLM Training. You don't know what you don't know and what you don't know could kill you in this business!

Remember expensive doesn't mean good, find something affordable. How about Mentoring For Free?

Well, have I kept you in suspense long enough? As I said in my last post, if you want to be successful in any work from home business, you have to make sure there are 7 things in place.

OK, OK, what are The 7 Things?

Well, there are a couple of important things that need to be in place before you decide to join a company and although you do play a part, there are also many other factors involved.

In many companies you can literally bang your head against a wall for years, doing everything you’re told to do and still not be successful! Can you believe that? Well, it’s true! And, like I said before, It’s not your fault!

#1

The first thing you need to ask yourself is, Is this a 5 pillar company?

See that, the company is the most important thing! It’s not the product! Most people get this totally backwards, they look for a product that they can fall in love.

Don’t get me wrong, the product if very important, but there are many excellent products out there.

If the company is not a 5 pillar company, you can have the best product out there, it can be made of gold, but it won’t make you successful!

If you don’t believe me, ask yourself, do I love the product in my home based business? If the answer is yes, but you’re not attaining the success you’d like then that proves my point! Because, it’s not about the product.

My advice to you is to find a company that fits you, then fall in love with that product, not the other way around.

#2

The second thing you need to know is how to evaluate mlm compensation plans.

You’d be amazed at how many people get into this business, and make no mistake, this is a business, and have no idea how they get paid. Hello! Would you ever accept a J.O.B. and not know how you were going to get paid?

I don’t think so! So why would you do it working from home? Not all comp plans are created equal, some will outright steal from you! Oh, I can hear you right now…”Oh, no, not my company!”

Have you read your mlm policies and procedures or are they way too long? If they’re that long, that’s a clue! Has your comp plan changed so many times you’ve lost count? Are they changing Auto ship policies every six months and taking stuff away when they do?

Then guess what, they’re taking money out of the comp plan and giving you a pay cut. If that’s OK with you, that’s fine, just be aware that’s what they’re doing and they'll keep doing it!

#3

The third thing you must understand is personality types.

Basically, there are four different types of personalities. They are broken down into colors which are Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red.

Knowledge is power. Each of these colors accepts communication differently. You cannot talk to a Yellow the same way you would talk to a Red; if you do they’ll be gone before you get to the next sentence.

This is an extremely important skill in your work from home business.

#4

The fourth thing you must know is how to build your list.

By this I don’t mean writing down 100 names of you friends and family, that doesn’t work in this day and age and isn’t duplicatible. This supposedly “warm” market can be the “coldest” you have!

Let them see your mlm success, then they’ll start asking questions when they are open.

You have to be with a company or upline who teaches you how to build a list without the “help” of your friends and family.

#5

Onto number five. You must be a color profiler.

Remember the color personality types I wrote of earlier? You have to be able to identify who you’re talking to very quickly. I do it as a hobby now.

I like to see how quickly I can identify the personality type of someone I meet, talk to on the phone or email. It’s really fun and makes communicating much easier! You can quickly build a bond with another person when you’re speaking the “same language”.

#6

Alright, number six. You must have a Huge Why.

It has to be a 99.9% Why. It has to be BIG!

Inevitably you will come across challenges in your business, you have to expect that. If your Why is something that doesn’t come from deep down inside, as soon as you hit your first obstacle, something that makes your Why seem “not that important”, you’re outta there.

So it has to be something that really drives you to just keep your head down and keep on movin’.

#7

Last but not least is number seven. You must become a mlm leader.

People don’t join companies, they join people. They join people they believe will help them get where they want to go.

See, it’s all about them. The question they are asking themselves is “Can I do this, and can you help me do it?”

If you’re a leader, that will come through. How do you get there? Spend time on self development, learn the different colors, learn comp plans, build your own list so you can teach others how to do it, be a Mentor.

Remember in order to be a Mentor you have to have a Mentor. I can help and Mentor you so you can do it for others.
