With the advent of the internet, there is suddenly a myriad of methods to find the perfect home money making opportunity for you and the support of your family. Of course, many of these opportunities are even better if you're just looking for something to supplement your income from a day job, or if you're a stay at home mom who's looking to add a little cash to the coffers. There are some important things to keep in mind when looking for the right opportunity however. You'll... more...

Just for a moment I want you to think about all the time, energy, and money you invest into getting a new customer. As an example, think of one particular guest you met at your last home show. In order to meet that guest, you had to first meet the hostess, and you might have even met her at a previous show. You had to ask that hostess to book a show, you had to overcome any of her objections to booking a party of her own, you had to coach her and sell her on the idea of getting other peo... more...

A simple objection to network marketing can cause a prospect to not return your phone calls. One thing I learned when leading 56,000 people in my own network marketing business was how to teach others to confidently handle objections. This M.L.M training article reveals the basics of how to handle every objection. To be great at handling objections it's quite helpful to know and understand the individual parts that make up the subject. What's an objection? Let'... more...

As I travel the world doing M.L.M. training seminars I am often told by distributors how hard this business is. Here's a real - life story that will put things into perspective for you and help you realize that MLM may not be as hard as you think. I was at a table where a bunch of distributors were talking between themselves and each got on the band wagon and threw in their own proof of how "hard this business is." I let the pity party continue for a while then finall... more...

Many people start an online home business because it promises to be low cost or even free. While this is true to a large extent, we very soon get bombarded with emails or advertising that asks us to pay for something, whether it's advertising, a marketing tool or just upgrading our account. If the purse-strings are a tight, and let's face it, most of us started this business because we're short of money, this can be disencouraging to say the least. What can happen at this... more...

One season at a national conference a group of consultants were sharing how challenging it was to keep up with their full time job, their part-time direct sales business, and run a family. In short, they did not see how it was possible to find the time to make prospecting calls for recruiting. As I listened to them, it was easy for me to empathize. If you have a full-time job and a family, in addition to your direct sales business, you might not only be wondering how you're supposed... more...

Having your own home business is the dream of so many of us. You can work when you want, relax when you want, enjoy free time in so many ways, all the while making tons of money with little or no effort. Work on your laptop while vacationing in the Bahamas. Check in with you banker to see how much money has been deposited since the last time you checked. Sound familiar? Well, it can happen. Such dreams do come true. Sometimes. More often that not, they don't. Here's why. ... more...

I am always finding ways to relate my personal life to my business career in direct sales. It so happens that I am just crazy enough to get up at 4:30 most days to go to an early morning spin class at my gym. One of the spin instructors really knows how to push us far above the norm, which has intrigued me to pay close attention to what he does. Interestingly however, the first few times I had class with this particular instructor I did not understand why he had such a following. He p... more...

One of the most important MLM training tips I can offer you is to make sure you keep your bad habits in check. Read on to learn what bad habit can really make prospects run off in the opposite direction and make sure it's a habit you have not developed. Stephane sent me a question that relates to talking to a prospect on the phone: "When I'm listening to my prospect, I take notes but that usually creates a situation where I'm a little off when he stops talking. ... more...

I've been involved with network marketing for some time now, and one thing that drives me absolutely up the wall is when a company or an upline encourages new distributors to formulate a "warm market contact list". This list is comprised of all of the family, friends, and acquaintances the new distributor has. The newbie is then encouraged to go through the list and approach every person on it with details about their business opportunity. They are told to systematically go... more...

Postponements are surly one of the most irritating things in the direct sales business. Recently I realized that one main reason for postponements is that direct sales consultants don't understand how to help their hostesses to be successful. Too many direct sales consultants assume that any one that books a home party product show knows how these things work, namely, the amount of free product the hostess gets at her home show depends on the guests' sales. Therefore, the hostess wo... more...

Anyone that books a home party demonstration with you wants to have a successful home party, and if she senses that her home party isn't going to be successful, if she doesn't have guests coming, she will postpone or cancel. Most direct sales consultants think that their hostesses know what to do to have a successful home party, which is of course to invite guests that are going to buy the product. Unfortunately, most of your hostesses really don't really know how to get t... more...

Destiny's Child coined it back in 1999 with the hit song of the same title, "Say My Name". The premise of the song centers around a woman whose man suddenly has what appears to be a change of heart and stops saying all of the sweet nothings that he used to. She demands to know that his affections haven't strayed by insisting upon him calling her baby, telling her he loves her and of course, saying her name. This woman wants to know that she is on his mind 24/7. It's only n... more...

Positioning yourself as a leader solution provider, not as a sales person takes time to build trust with your customers. The key to effective marketing is to promote and sell a generic solution and system, instead of your business opportunity on the front end. People would rather learn how to so something than actually do it. By providing your prospects with valuable knowledge that can help them get what they want and make their life easier instead of pitching them some opportunit... more...

A home based business can help you rise out of the rut and make something of your self, as long as you know how to run the business, use and hold on to your money, and balance your life between social and entrepreneurial. A home based business can accommodate children, needy family members, other work schedules, or just your life. Working in your spare time can be very attractive to some people as they can work when they need money and relax when they do not. A business can opera... more...

Multilevel Marketing has been with us for around 50 years. Many claim it has made fortunes, while others claim that it is the biggest scam since those guys put water into bottles! MLM which stands for Multi Level Marketing was a system which makes sense on paper. Instead of opening huge stores and having to make major systems of marketing, instead you can have independent entrepreneurs do marketing and distribution. It's great; in fact it is so great that the internet seems to be mod... more...

Author and businessman Robert Kiyosaki once said that if he could re-do his entry into business, he would start his own network marketing venture. Network marketing is a concept and business model that is well-known and understood around the world. It's a business built on downlines, the term used to refer to recruited members in an MLM organization. And if you want to make money at home with an MLM business, you need to understand how money can be made from your downlines. MLM an... more...

One of the most frequent objections you can get from your prospects is "MLM is a scam." Here's some MLM training advice you can use to confidently and professionally address this common prospecting objection. A frustrated network marketer recently asked me: I keep getting the objection, "Network Marketing is a scam because only a few people at the top who get in at the beginning are making most of the money off the people who come in later."
