How To Plug Your Drop-Out Drain
By Anne Duncan

It's a proven fact... Network Marketing has a 95% failure rate. Why so high? Well, there are two main reasons.

Firstly, most people have no prior sales or marketing experience and initially lack the skills and knowledge needed. This is not in itself a problem, because we all have the capacity to learn.

Secondly, most Network Marketers don't use, and therefore don't teach, a system that literally anyone can follow… and this is KEY.

Network Marketing is all about gathering a few personal customers and finding other people to join your business and teaching them how to gather a few personal customers and find other people who want to do the same.

Network Marketing is an industry of promotion and training, pursued by many people who initially have no idea how to promote and train.

The secret to Network Marketing is easy duplication. All you need is a simple system that works. One that doesn't require you to be a professional salesperson or marketer; or to host meetings and be great at public speaking. A simple system that anyone can successfully put into practise for themselves.

I'm sure you think you have a first class product (which you probably do) and that people will just love it and want to buy. But even the best products don't sell themselves, no matter how good they are. It's marketing systems that sell products and build teams.

Whilst your warm market, and the warm market of the new distributors sponsored into your team, is a great place to start; lots of Network Marketers are also buying leads and cold calling... Ugh! That's a personal opinion.

I hate receiving unsolicited Telesales calls (which is how lots of people see this strategy) and I don't want to make any either. So what's my alternative?...

One system that is changing the way some Network Marketers recruit from outside of their warm market is called Magnetic Sponsoring.

With this online system you don't have to sell a thing and literally anyone can easily duplicate what you're doing and succeed... no matter what their background is, what skills they already have, how good their communication skills are or how much confidence they have.

In Network Marketing most people are taught to start with their warm market. That's friends, family and anyone they know. They try to sell them on the product and/or business opportunity - so far so good. Then they have the task of generating cold leads.

Their sponsors usually teach them to do this either by giving presentations or cold calling. Neither option comes easily to everyone. Most people find these strategies difficult to duplicate; not everyone is going to have great promotional and presentation skills or be great communicators when they first start out.

These are skills most of us will have to develop with experience.

In fact most people lose money to begin with because they are not being taught a simple, effective "anyone can do it" system as soon as they start their business.

Because of this, their confidence in themselves and their ability to succeed shrinks, so most don't stick around that long. The sad thing is... it doesn't have to be this way.

When people join your Network Marketing business they are looking for a solution to a problem. If you talk to your prospect about your business opportunity and your products you're actually creating a new problem for them, not solving their existing problem.

Now they're thinking they have to spend money. They have to buy products and try to sell them... not only the products, but the opportunity too - and they haven't sold a thing in their life before! No wonder they either immediately run a mile, or sign up and then drop out not too far down the road.

An online system like Magnetic Sponsoring means you don't chase leads... qualified leads will come knocking on YOUR door. You even make money from those who don't join your business. No more going broke running ads and paying for flyers etc.

It's a very simple idea. Magnetic Sponsoring is about becoming the hunted instead of the hunter.

It's about attracting business to you, instead of chasing after it. It's about offering some high quality information, valuable to experienced Network Marketers as well as those looking for a new opportunity, at a very low cost and getting PAID to prospect.

It's NOT about going broke buying leads. It's about positioning yourself as an expert instead of a just another salesperson (and we all want to work with experts).

A simple online system, easy to duplicate, can add a very profitable slice to your promotional pie. It can immediately put money not only in your pocket, but also in the pockets of your new distributors.

Seeing some initial success is all it takes to keep your newbie distributors motivated and keen to learn the skills necessary to build their own highly profitable Network Marketing business. Your drop-out rate will plummet, so instead of recruiting to replace, you'll be recruiting to grow.

How to Overcome The Pain of Rejection in Network Marketing

By Michael Smith

Rejection is inevitable in your home business even if you're constantly talking to warm prospects. Some of those prospects are going to say no to you. No's often crush people, with some quitting this business just after one no. I have seen people join up and call their first prospect, get a no and decide it's not for them.

Rejection may be a deep seeded issue with some people so if they hear it again later in life it stops them dead in their tracks. This is especially true for those cold calling all day (which I don't recommend) getting 10-30 no's a day.

The first no you receive seems to really hurt; you may stop calling the rest of the night and just go do something else. It may even stop you from calling for a whole week as you just pace back and forth by the phone. Some people really never get over it and they just quit altogether.

One key I have learned over the years about "no's" is that they are usually just objections not rejections. Most of the time when people tell you no it's because they are making excuses. The timing might not be right, but usually they are procrastinating.

These aren't the type of people you are looking for anyways. The people that say "YES" and "I'm ready" are the ones you should desire. Don't try to sell the people that give you no's, they aren't ready for success. If you truly become the leader you know you are then the right people will magically become attracted to you.

When someone says no they aren't rejecting you in any sense. They are rejecting the opportunity you have presented to them. Many people take that as a direct insult to them as a person.

To help you with this I'm going to tell you a story one of my mentors told me.

Have you ever been to a coffee shop? Well lets say you don't drink coffee, but everyone at your table does. If the waitress comes over to you and says, "Do you want coffee?" What are you going to tell her?

No of course, so you said no to the coffee and not to her. So think about your opportunity as the coffee that you're offering to someone else. If they say no then they are saying no to the opportunity of having some coffee not to the person offering it.

I hope that makes sense because it will change your outlook on rejection. You need to understand that rejection to your opportunity is nothing, just move on to the next person.
