The Missing Link for Growing Your Business

This was an E-mail sent to me from Tim Sales today

Hey Bob,

Of all the skills you can possibly develop to grow your network marketing business, one stands head and shoulders above the rest.



If this skill is developed you'll find your downline grows without much effort. Of course I'm not suggesting you won't have to work... what I am saying is: the work won't be so frustrating.



Picture what it would be like if you could - almost overnight - begin converting more prospects into distributors. How would your life change?



Would your income take an immediate jump? I'm sure it would.



Would you feel fulfilled that you set a goal and achieved it? I'm sure you would.



Would your family and friends-even the ones who doubted you could ever achieve any success in network marketing-begin to ask you more about what you do (Because now they're interested after they've seen your success)?



I know they would! I've had it happen to me - and I've seen it occur many times with my downline.



What one skill could possibly do all this for you?



Effective Communication.



Without it, your dreams of a massive downline and easy profits will never be reached. With it, everything gets easy and the money just gets ridiculous!



How To Master Effective Communication



Developing communication skills has been difficult for many. More than likely, this dates back to your elementary school experience.



If you struggled with English class...or... you dreaded presenting a book report in front of others... or... you didn't like to read, all of these factors could have played a major role in shaping your perception about your abilities to present to a prospect and convert them into your organization.



When I hear stories about how someone's third grade teacher would give negative marks for their presentation, or, how a seventh grade teacher would immediately critique a presentation someone made in front of the entire class - it makes me want to confront these teachers and tell them how damaging their remarks are, were and will continue to be...



...and, that despite their years of training and experience, they really don't know how to teach the art and science of communication.



I know - I used to be one of these guys. Someone who thought I couldn't talk to prospects well or effectively.



If it wasn't for my persistence in developing this critical skill, I would have NEVER achieved my financial dreams.



Once I developed this skill, my downline and in.come skyrocketed.



Why? Because my ability to effectively communicate to prospects enabled me to convert a larger number. Therefore, as I'm sure you know: the more people in my downline, the more money I made.



But I didn't stop there. I knew for breakthrough success, I'd have to train my downline in the same skills.



No one was teaching it. So, I taught it myself.



Best of all: you can now get trained in the same communication skills I used to build and train my 56,000 person downline.



It's a simple and effective system you can use to train yourself and others. When you master this skill, your ability to convert prospects will become so easy...especially in this down economy.



I personally used this through - TWO tail-spinning economies. Two booms and busts. Two periods where people were making money... and two periods where they thought the money was gone and no one was spending.



But here's a fact you may not know: Network Marketing actually grows when the economy tanks.



But, your business won't grow if you can't communicate effectively.



To help your business grow right now, I've put together my own Stimulus package. I'm knocking 20% off my very popular Brilliant Communicator CD set and Training Course but you've got to act fast.



So click the link below and learn how to communicate like a pro and watch your downline and in.come reach new heights. You deserve it. Do it for yourself and reap the benefits of learning this skill...

Dedicated to your success, Tim Sales

Kind of need to know what your doing

Tonight I was listening in on a conference call that my buddy Tim Sales had. Some of you may know Tim, but for those who don't Tim is arguably the guru of Network Marketing with huge down lines and a successful marketing business. The man knows his stuff.

Tonight he talked about what you need to know so that prospects don't put off joining your company or delay buying your product or service.

There are three broad categories about this business that you must know in order to eliminate, or better yet, PREVENT hesitation and excuses.

You must:

1. Know your company
2. Know all about network marketing
3. Know about your products

Now more than ever, it's important to the success of your business to have as much knowledge as possible on these three topics, because when you are knowledgeable, your prospects respect you, and listen to what you say, and follow your suggestions.

He suggested that you not take 3 months to learn it but do it as fast as you can because you never know when you may run across a Tim Sales or someone of that caliber and you better at the very least know the basics or be able to get the info in a phone call ASAP.

Given the current economic climate there are plenty of people looking for a job, or even some extra income. This is significant to the growth of your business because you have something that thousands of people need NOW.

There's just one thing you need to be aware of and that is:

Prospects hesitate signing that distributor agreement because they don't fully understand what you're sharing with them. And their hesitation turns into all kinds of objections and excuses. If you can have them understand what it is that you are talking about and it makes sense to them they will join you and buy your product but again it has to make sense to them.

One of the greatest tools for this is the Brilliant Compensation video that Tim has on his website: http://www.firstclassmlmtools.com/

You Know What The Real Problem with Network Marketing Is!

It never stops amazing me the extreme views that people have on the topic of network marketing and MLM's. Some people are passionate about it in one extreme or the other, and there are even top celebrity authors like Tim Sales, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki that are either in MLM's or advocating them. Yet, with many people, you might as well commit murder rather than admit to being in a MLM.

If it's not the business model itself that offends people, what is the problem with MLM's or network marketing?
Maybe it's the pyramid structure? But you can't really take issue with the tiered compensation structure—almost every large sales organization in the world has that. Salespeople get commission, and sales managers get overrides or bonuses on top of that, and sales directors on top of that, and VPs on top of that.

Maybe it's the fact that you have to pay to get in it? But that can't be it—that's a standard franchising model. And I'm telling you, the franchise fee of most franchises is much more than the sign-up cost of any MLM program.

Now there are illegal pyramid, or "Ponzi", schemes. This is where all the money is being made off of signing up other people, with little or no real product ever being delivered. But in spite of whatever people may think, the fact is that Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, PrePaid Legal and many others have sold millions upon millions of dollars of products to happy customers, many of whom are NOT also reps. So, there may be a perception problem here, but if so, the perception is out of line with the reality.

The real problem with MLM is not MLM itself, but some of the people it attracts. Network marketing is just a business model. Its upside is that it has a very low cost to join, with the potential for outstanding revenue, and there are many who achieve that.

But those same things that make Network Marketing attractive, also make it attractive to many who are not really qualified or prepared to become business owners.

People who:

• have not done well in their business or profession and have little money saved up to invest
• have no previous experience owning or running a business
• have no previous experience in sales
• have little or no experience developing business relationships other than that of employer/employee/co-worker
• are not satisfied with their current level of income
• have unrealistic expectations of the amount of work involved compared to the revenue realized

Don't get me wrong—I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with any of these things, or that this describes even a majority of network marketers its just that as a result, many network marketers end up:

• inappropriately discussing business in social situations
• focused on new recruits and neglecting existing customers as a result
• over-selling the opportunity
• being either inaccurate or deceptive when talking about their business
• coming across as deserate

Again, I'm not saying that this describes a majority of network marketers, but it does describe enough of them to tarnish the reputation of the rest. To pre-judge someone based on a small minority of people in that group is horribly unfair, but we must realize that most prejudices have some basis in reality, even if it has been distorted out of proportion.

So what's the solution?

There's a first time for everything. And network marketing/MLM is a great opportunity for people to have their first business, their first sales role, etc. My point is this—recognize it for what it is: it's a business, and you are a business owner. And if you've never owned a business before or if you've never done sales before, if you've never networked before, you need to learn about how to do so, not just from the network marketing/MLM experts, but from established experts in those fields. not just swapping tips at your team's weekly or monthly meeting.

Act like a small business owner, and people will treat you like one.
