MLM, Pyramid Schemes, and Matrices
By Anna-Marie Stewart

Have you ever wondered what the difference is? MLM operators claim they're not operating a pyramid scheme. Matrix and "forced matrix" operators claim that what they have is better than MLM. So what are the differences?

Pyramid Schemes:

Pyramid Schemes are illegal in the USA, and probably abroad. We all know how these schemes work, or at least get the jist of the idea. A person (the originator) starts by sending a message to several people. Usually people he/she knows.

The message in some round about way, will tell everyone to send him $5 or so...and then send the message to someone else. All the while adding names to the list, and each new recipient must send money to the first person, second person...etc

There are a million variations of the Pyramid Scheme, but the main attribute that define a pyramid scheme ( also known as chain letter) is that there is no product, it's just people sending money.

The term "Pyramid Scheme" is derived from the fact that it starts with one and the size of those involved increases as you move towards the bottom. On paper, it looks like the shape of a triangle, or pyramid.

Multi Level Marketing:

How is MLM different from a pyramid scheme? After all, on paper any MLM looks like a pyramid in reality right? The differences are very simple. In MLM there is a product being sold. Income is generated from "commissions".

It's actually a pyramid scheme, except that the participants get something back...regardless of whether the people they refer actually pay for something...

In MLM, the participant always gains from their investment. The catch is in the value of the product that the participant receives. This is the reason that MLM is so big on the internet. Because, information can have a monetary value, and it cost the distributor nothing.

So ebooks, software, newsletters...etc... these are the most common products used in MLM. MLMers have added tangible products as well, and home products were the first to use MLM as a primary marketing strategy.

The Forced Matrix:

With so many MLM programs on the market these days, originators have tried to make their programs more desirable than others. Hence the forced matrix idea. In a regular MLM program, your monetary gains are based entirely on how good you are at marketing the program.

However, most people arent' very good. So it would benefit the less talented if they had help from the talented. Basically, if the number of people who can join under you is limited in any way...then it's a forced matrix. The idea being, anyone else you refer extra..will go under someone else. The best implementations put the extra person under one of the people YOU have under YOU. Hence it helps the person under you, which helps you too.

The term is tossed around a bit, and sometimes not used at all. However, that is what defines a forced matrix. Sometimes numbers are used to describe a forced matrix more thoroughly....like "4 X 4 forced matrix" for instance.
Which might mean that you can only have 4 people directly under you and only 4 people under those 4 who you recieve commissions from.

There is a hi-bred idea that has become common now, where by a person can deliberately place a referral in another line of their choice. A sort of traffic control attribute that helps originators get their referrals interested.

This has been an attempt to make regular MLM more appealing, and it has worked. In fact, forced matrix MLMers have even implemented the option in their own programs.

The benefits of either are about equal. With a forced matrix, you stand to earn an income faster, but increases in income are slower because your referrals get forced further down the line from you.

With regular MLM you have a stronger base, and sustaining it is generally easier...but first profits can be slow. If you want a little income faster, go with a forced matrix.

If you want BIG profits and are willing to work a long time for it, go with regular MLM programs.

Ice Breakers
By Duffy Rogan

Everyone is always asking me about what to say to a potential prospect.

I call these Ice Breakers. I learnt these icebreakers over the years. You can modify them to suit your business.

The one thing you need to know about ANY prospect is that they're ALL neutral until they meet you. What they decide when they meet you depends on what you say.

When it comes to Ice breakers you…

• Want all icebreakers to be rejection free.
• Never want to high pressure or embarrass a prospect.
• Want icebreakers that have a high probability of success.

So lets get right to it.

Here is a nice icebreaker. This is an icebreaker you would use in any casual situation.

Say this…

"I just found out (use the statements below or whatever you want)"

"If you would ever like to know how, I would be glad to tell you…meanwhile.. (get back to what you were doing)"

So lets try one. Lets say your having dinner at a friends house (you could be doing anything really) and they ask you what you’re up to.

"Hey Duffy what are you up to"? "

"I just found out how we can retire 5 years early at full pay. If you would ever like to know how, I would be glad to tell you meanwhile, pass me the gravy."

Many people stumble when asked what they do for a living. Now when people ask you directly what do you do for a living you can say the following.

Use the same following responses with this beginning:

"I show people…."

** How we can get an extra paycheck every month.

** How we can fire the boss and start our own business.

** How we can stay home with our kids and still get a full time pay check.

** How we can retire 5 years early at full pay.

** How we can work 3 weeks out of the month but get paid for 4.

**How we can take a one week vacation every month and you don't have to stay with your relatives.

** How we can take a 6 month vacation twice a year.

** How we can get a $100 refund every month.

** How college students can earn more money part time than their professors earn full time.

** How housewives can earn more money part time than their husbands earn full time.

** How secretaries can earn more money part time than their bosses earn full time.

** How we can make our skin look 20 years younger with only 45 seconds a day.

** How we can wake up an hour earlier every morning and feel like a million bucks and fall asleep within 7 minutes of hitting the pillow at night.

** How we can lose 2 lbs a week and still eat ice cream.

** How we can feel like we are 16 again, but with better judgment.

**How they can have the energy to wait up for their teenage children.

Now another way to answer the question "What do you do"? You can say the following:

"Well, you know how, (introduce problem)

"Well, what I do is (introduce solution)

Here are some examples

"Well you know how some people don't have as much energy as they used to? Well what I do is market a product that helps people feel like they are 16 again but with better judgment. Do you know someone who would be interested in this product?"

"Well, you know how some people have problems having too much month for the money? Well what I do is show people how to get an extra paycheck in their mailbox every month. Do you know someone who would be interested in hearing more about this?"

"Well you know how some people have tried to generate extra income from home and it just hasn't worked out for them? Well what I do is offer free training and coaching to help them reach their financial goals. Do you know anyone who would be interested in hearing more about this?"

"Well you know how some people have problems losing weight? Well what I do is show people how to lose weight and still eat ice cream. Do you know anyone who would be interested in hearing more about this?

"Well you know how some people are always having to monitor their blood sugar levels? Well what I do is market a product that helps them lower their blood sugar levels without medication. Do you know anyone who would like to have more information?"

After you establish a relationship with someone, you can ask them this question:

"What are your two biggest health concerns or financial challenges?"

Whatever they say, you say the following:

"Would you like to do something about it?"

Or

"Have you ever thought about doing something about it?"

Then you can go into your icebreaker. "I show people how to..."

TIP:

Everyday you probably hear people complaining about their health or finances. Simply ask them the question listed above.

If they say NO to your question they are NOT a prospect so forget about them.

If they say YES, they just gave you permission to provide them information. It could be a presentation, a web site, a business card or an appointment where you can explain things in detail.

Network Marketing Training - Top 10 MLM Holiday Recruiting Secrets
by Doug Firebaugh

Christmas.

The Holidays.

New Years.

What can you do to accelerate your mlm business during the Holiday season and get it going during what most folks perceive as the "slow down time" of the year for network marketing?

First off, get this:

INFERNO Secret:

REFUSE to participate this year in the slow down that most network marketers fall prey to. You do not have to, as we never did, and neither should you.

Here is a list of the top 10 things you can do for MLM Recruiting Success during the holidays:

1) Fruit baskets.

You can get inexpensive fruit baskets, and put your samples or coupons in, and decorate it in the colors of your network marketing company. Include an audio or dvd, and also an invite to a seminar that they can attend at not cost. Give them out to friends, neighbors, associates, clients, customers, and family. You will glad you did.

2) Holiday audio cards.

Send out with your Christmas cards a CD you recorded especially for that person, and wish them happy holidays, and then tell them you would love to chat with them the first of the year, as you want to give them the gift of success. This is a great way to introduce the concept of network marketing success to folks.

3) Hold a Holiday Customer appreciation luncheon or reception.

You can do this at your home. Simply invite your best mlm customers to a holiday appreciation event, and make them the superstars of it. Have small gifts for them, and let them know how much you appreciate their business, and then ask them the first of the year for 2 referrals. You will get them from every single person who was at that event.

4) Holiday Upline Open House.

If you have an organization, you should either open your house, or someone whoi has a sizeable home, and invite your mlm distributors to an open House. Have them bring guests, and have a party that celebrates the holidays, but is sponsored by your company. Let it be a fun social with music and games, and then connect with the guest to follow up with in January.

5) Miniature Christmas Tree gift.

Get some small, miniature Christmas trees (usually at a dept store) that can sit on a table, and then attach product samples and your card to it, and then take it to your local bank as a gift, your CPA, your dentist, doctor, real estate agent, and whoever else you know that has an office. Have free coupons on the small tree to try your service or product, and have some fun visiting your friends.

6) Mall blitz.

Go to a mall on saturday, and see how many people you can start a conversation with, and then give them a card or CD. Talk th them about their kids, what they are doing for Christmas, the weather, the crowds, etc. See if you can collect 10 names, and do it in teams. The team that collects the most names, the other teams, have to buy them lunch or dinner.

7) Neighborhood Holiday mailer.

Go to the library, and look in the cross reference index for your address. You will notice there are a ton more in that index that are in your neighborhood. Make a copy of the addresses, as they are your neighbors, and then send them a Christmas card introducing yourself as the ABC neighborhood rep, and wish them a Merry Chrismas and Happy new year. Then follow up in January and see if you can set an appointment to chat with them about your products. Telephone numbers are inlcuded on the cross index reference guides found in your library. You are their neighbor, and that gives you some instant conection with them.

8) Give away "As a man Thinketh" books by James Allen.

You can get this paperback book very inexpensively, and give out to prospects, and you truly are giving the "gift of success." This little book changed my life, and millions of others. You can also find free ebooks online that folks can download. This is a great gift to give folks that you meet, as it truly is an eye opening book, and will be appreciated, and you will be remembered.

9) Visit Community Holiday Functions.

CONNECT! CONNECT! CONNECT! You need to connect to new prospects during the holidays, and community functionsd are a great way to do this. Get out and become a "holiday networking machine." Network and meet people and make new friends and give away something to them as a holiday gift. Make sure every person you talk to has a gift and your card, and you have some form of contact info as well. There are a TON of folks at community event- BE THERE. Check your sunday newspaper for where these events are.

10) The Holiday Success Card.

Send people you know, and also prospects a seasonal card, and include within it an article about success, goal setting, leadership, time management, or any other success oriented topic. This not only will set you apart, but also will set you above, as Success is a gift rarely given, and people love these types of reading to improve next year.

These are just a few of the many ways that you can rock your mlm business during the holidays. Pick one, and start with that.

You will be glad you did, and suprised at what might happen in your MLM and Network marketing business.

blessings....doug
