Multi Level Marketing Principles

Multi level marketing or MLM is a business model that creates an opportunity for the average person, who is teachable, and who has desire and perseverance, to earn extra income from the comforts of their home. Legitimate multi-level marketing companies usually require a small start-up cost. Multi-level marketing relies on selling to consumers and establishing a market for quality products. That is, once you have a happy customer (customer service is one of the things reps get compensated for, a potential reason it’s not easy or to everyone’s liking, and may be a reason so many don’t succeed), you can rely on repeat sales and repeat commissions. So you can see why it would not be a good idea to sell wood flooring via MLM. In the majority of multi-level marketing programs, commissions are paid way down the line so the more people you and your team bring on, the better.

The Greatest Bottleneck in Your MLM Business (and How to Avoid It)
Let’s face it. In the traditional prospecting equation there’s always one major bottle neck…YOU.

No matter how good you are at prospecting and recruiting for your business or how bad you are at it (and I’ve been there before), your personal results are always tied to how many prospects you speak with and how many people you sign up and how many times you made an exposure that day.

True, you have duplication in your team — and that’s always something to be put in place — but you should not be relying on your team to provide all of your profits. It’s always dangerous to put your income 100% in the hands of someone else, regardless of what industry or business you’re in. Read more »

The Marketing Power of Testimonials

Offer proof to your prospects. Testimonials are one of the most powerful and cost effective selling tools you can implement in your arsenal of marketing. Why? Because you are offering social proof to your prospects from their peers attesting that your services/products actually work. If you say you are good at what you do, it’s self serving. But, if others say you are good…it’s credible.

Providing testimonials from current and prior customers of their actual problem and the specific results from your company enhances your company’s credibility. It’s not enough to say that you solve problems – you have to show your prospects the direct results of other people. Testimonials offer proof that you are the real deal. Read more »
