You need to be willing to GIVE without WANT before you can HAVE.
Make sure you really stop and think about that until you get it.
Now if we want to translate that formula into practical terms for our industry, this is what it would mean:
First, understand why other networkers would join you and your business. It's not the product, it's not the comp plan, and it's not the management team.
It's because you are offering a solution to their problem and that solution will only come in two forms:
1: You. Your knowledge, your leadership, and your expertise. They will join YOU because YOU can teach them and show them how to build a successful business.
2: You are offering a business building/marketing system which provides a solution to their current problems, and they can see themselves having success using it.
These are the only two reasons a network marketer will ever join you, and these are the two things you must GIVE.
What do you think the Magnetic Sponsoring Newsletter is all about?
Why do you think I take time out of my day to write to YOU?
We've never met before, yet I share my knowledge with you, with the expectation and understanding that you may take, take, take, and I may never get anything back.
Not even a simple 'Thank You' email...
Because I know it’s not about the opportunity. I have knowledge that can help you become the leader you want to be, and Magnetic Sponsoring is a system that can help you build a bigger, more profitable business fast.
So... Stop spending yourself broke trying to play the "mine is better than yours game", comparing ORAC values, comp plan stats, and sales numbers.
Sell yourself.
Sell your solution.
Take the focus off the company because IT will never be the reason for your success, or anyone else's.
Market "help."
This is WHY I get 3-5 phone calls everyday from other networkers around the world wanting my help or advice.
This is why complete strangers call me, and ask to join my team, even before they know what company I am with.
They do it because they know I can help them get what they want through knowledge and a system that will allow them to do the same thing.
It's not hard.
You can learn how to do this as well faster and easier than you think, even if you've never sponsored a soul.
Why?
Because no matter who you are or what you've done, you can GIVE... And you will be given back to.
Now with all of that said and done, we finally come to what may be the most important lesson of all…
The piece of the puzzle that ties everything we’ve discussed together and that’s at the heart of the network marketing business model.
If you’ve ever been to one of your company’s larger events, you’ve probably been a little envious of the people who seemingly showed up one day, and then 3 months later, they’re at the top of the comp plan with a massive organization that seemed to appear out of no where.
Would you like to know how that was done?
Well listen closely and take some notes because I’m going to tell you right now…
On the surface, the answer may appear simple… It’s the execution that requires some effort.
Over the course of years, they have established relationships with other network marketing leaders around the industry who know more leaders, and in turn, they know even more leaders.
All of whom carry assets, expertise, and influence that allow them to walk into any company, pick up the phone, and start an massive domino effect of activity that builds and builds exponentially.
Who would you rather sponsor?
3 leaders who have built organizations of 10,000 distributors each, or 3000 leads who have never had success?
Hopefully, you’d rather have those 3 leaders on your team.
So that’s how they walk into a company and build a massive organization quickly. But what you have never been taught, is how they formed those ties. You might have an idea or two in your head, but they have never dared to tell you because they know 99.9% of the people in their downline would never be willing to do what they did.
But I’ll tell you…
First: You need to starting thinking long term. We're talking 3 to 10 years down the road. What you do today will have a direct impact on the rest of your career IF, you have the foresight to plan that far ahead.
This business is 10% about you, and 90% about who you know.
Second: You need to professionalize your contact data base. This means you have to start keeping complete and thorough details on each new contact you make.
Now I’m not talking about ALL of your contacts. I’m talking about the Eagles. The other leaders you meet. The truly sharp people who already have a track record of success in life and in this industry.
Find out who they are, what they are about, hobbies, families, birthdays, etc. If you haven't read "Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty", by Harvey McKay, got to Amazon right now and pick up a copy.
And third: You need to find a way to get in front of these people. Now I'm not talking about buying genealogy lists and cold-calling to pitch your biz to people.
You need to get in front of them so you can shake hands and have a conversation.
The best place to start is at your company's conventions. Yes, I said YOUR company. What better place to meet and build relationships without an agenda than with networkers who are already in your company?
Now you might be wondering what the point of that would be if you can’t recruit them…
Well you need to remember your 5-10 year plan. You’re not thinking about today, you’re thinking a year or two down the road.
Next, go to the national MLM Training seminars that take place around the country. When you do, you’ll notice many of the industry’s top income earners in attendance, and guess what… They’re not there for the training.
And finally, you can meet other leaders by marketing yourself online using the concepts and strategies taught in the Magnetic Sponsoring course.
Your mission is to build a rolodex of hundreds of other MLM leaders.
I'm talking about true networking, and relationship building. Your goal is not to sponsor these people today or even next year even though that will happen every once in a while as your meet these people.
It's to create long-term relationships and friendships, because all it takes is ONE single leader to change your life forever, and trust me, that is worth waiting for and working for.
You see, professional networkers only work with people they have come to know, like, and trust. It's an inner circle and you have to take the initiative to introduce yourself.
Understand that you (as a stranger), have little to no chance of sponsoring a professional networker.
You hold no value to them. Why should the join you, instead of another leader in the company that has something to offer?
You have to EARN that right. You have to earn that value, and you have to demonstrate it through the relationship that you build over time.
As I mentioned earlier, in the last 60 days alone, 15,326 network marketers from around the world contacted me through my advertising.
So yes. It works.
Those contacts have led to at least a dozen new friendships with successful networkers and even some new key business partners/distributors in foreign countries where I had no previous contacts.
What do you think that will total in 5 years? What do you think that will be worth?
Unless you are building a professional 5-10 year rolodex, this industry is just a hobby to you. You're taking your upline's advice at face-value and doing the recommended minimums.
You're not thinking like an independent million-dollar leader does.
Stay tuned for more great information to come.
To your success,
