How To Sponsor Hundreds Of People Into Your MLM (Part 5)

February 17th, 2010

admin

Welcome back to my 6th and final blog post on “How To Sponsor Hundreds Of People Into Your MLM”. We have come along way together and now its time to finish strong. I have a feeling that most of your will be relieved to know that today I will finally be talking specifically about how to INVITE people to join your business. I want to make sure you understand the value of the previous blog posts on this topic, and that no invitation would stand much of a chance without taking the time to do each step in order, and work your way up the gradient. At this point, if you have done everything I said to do up until this point, you should be primed and ready to invite someone to see your plan or join your business at a high rate of success. So lets get down to it!

There are three main ways in which to invite someone to see your business plan. Those include the telephone, in person, and by letter. The telephone is probably the best way to invite someone to see your business plan, followed by in person and then finally, by sending them a letter. I’m not going to go into why this is. I’m just going to give you the facts based on statistics in this industry as to save you time in having to figure it out on your own.

So lets talk about three specific ways to invite via the telephone.

#1 – You make the call yourself.
#2 – Have your upline call a person for you.
#3 – Set up a three way call between you, your upline and a prospect.

All three of these techniques are acceptable in the beginning until you get your feet wet. Just keep in mind that in order to be really successful in this business, you will have to become proficient and confident in calling people on your own. Make this one of your major goals.

Now here is a sample dialog for you to use as a template when calling on a prospect that you already know.

When your prospect answers the phone and says “Hello”

You could say:

“Hi Bob its Tom, how are you doing? Hey listen, do you know who the Devos and Van Andel family is? (Wither they say yes or no you say) There the guys who started Amway Corporation, you’ve heard of Amway right? Yeah they did about 10 billion dollars last year. A similar company just start and its totally ground floor. Its called ……………( Name of your business opportunity and a few sentences of how is works ). I don’t know if you would have any interest at all but it looks like its going to be pretty huge, and its at the ground floor stage right now. You know your situation better than I do, but if you want to get together I would be happy to show you the details because it looks pretty interesting.”

That is a very simple, yet powerful, way to invite someone to see your business. It doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that. To be quite honest with you, it doesn’t matter the exact words and phrases you use during the invite process as long as your belief and intention are correct. That’s why the previous steps in this process are so important.

Now what makes this invite so powerful, is a technique called a “Release Statement“. What is this you ask? Well let me just say first that “When you give someone permission to say “No”, you’ve given them the ability to say “Yes”. Here are a few examples of release statements.

“You know your situation better than I do”
“It doesn’t matter wither you want to get in or not, either way its 100% ok with me”
“I’m not sure if this will fit you but..”
“Which ever way is better for you is 100% ok with me”
“I don’t even know if you would have any interest”
“I don’t even know if this would make sense for you”
“You can let me know if you have any interest, either way its 100% ok with me”

Using these and other similar release statements will make your prospect feel like they have a choice, increase their comfort level, and drastically improve your chances of getting them to say “Yes” to seeing your business.

The next technique I want you to start thinking about is the use of “Power Phrases“. Here is another list of examples.

“Let me ask you a question”
“Why’s that”
“Why”
“In addition to that, is there anything else?”
“Bob, I know exactly how you feel, I felt exactly the same way, let me tell you what some people I talked to found” (Feel, Felt, Found)
“This is the beginning of the beginning”
“It’s totally ground floor”
“Hey man, timing is everything”
“Hey were friends, if you have some interest great, if not that’s fine too”
“Listen lets get together, let me run this buy you, it wont’ take more than 30 minutes, and if I’m there any longer, its either because you asked me to stay or because your coffee was just fantastic”
“That’s a very good question”…….and then give them a direct answer. (Feel, Felt, Found)

The next important skill to develop is answering questions and overcoming objections. Example:

If someone says to you “MLM is crap, nobody makes any money in those things.” You can say “Oh really, why do you say that?” They might come back with ” I had a friend who got in a lost a bunch of money.” At which you could respond with “Oh yeah, what program?”

You must use the six honest serving men and use them until the day you die. They are What, When and Where, Who, How and Why. When using them make sure you prepare yourself ahead of time to overcome any objections they bring up, by being ready with the strengths and benefits of your organization. That way you will be prepared.

There is one final skill that you absolutely must master if you want to make more money than you every dreamed possible in this business. That is the skill of controlling your emotional response when your prospect gives your their answer. This may seem near impossible for you to comprehend right now but you must train your mind to have the same emotional response to when the prospect says “No” as when your prospect says “Yes”. All of the most successful people in the history of Network Marketing have mastered this skill, and it has allowed them to create the lives of their dreams. You need to master this. It’s vital to your success!

First off, you should be able to comprehend this state of mind if you have read all of the previous blogs on this topic, because you should already have a page of listed reasons why “You don’t care if the person your inviting gets in or not.” Right? Try to remember that and review your list often for reinforcement.

So what you have to do now, is get a hold of a member of your upline. I want you to have your upline drill you with tough questions and objections and just plain old insults, directed to toward your business opportunity. At first, this will feel horrible. Then I want you to have your upline switch to being open minded, excited and ready to join immediately. At first, this will feel amazing. Your goal throughout this process is to try to not let the negative, verbally abusive, and uninterested person, bring your spirits down, crush your confidence, and make you doubt the value of your business opportunity. On the other end of the spectrum you must learn to keep your calm and not get overly excited when the person you invited is super excited and wants to join your business immediately. You must train yourself to have an emotionally balanced and calm response to both scenarios.

Drill with your upline as many times as it takes in order to achieve this automatic response, by forming new neuropathways in the brain. It may take a while, but keep at it and you will soon be making more money from home than you ever dreamed possible.

I hope this training has helped you to take your home business to new heights of success and has increased your feeling of personal fulfillment. Just make sure that your desire to be successful is always greater than your fear of failure, and nobody can stop you.

To your success.

Bad Economy = Big Opportunity!

January 12th, 2010

admin

I felt I had to write a blog post about this sooner rather than later. The current state of our economy has the vast majority of people frozen with fear at the possibility of loosing money. The sad part about this situation is, that almost nobody is excited about MAKING money. Isn’t that ridiculous!

We are in the midst of one of the greatest money making opportunities of all time, and we are too scared to do anything accept sit home with what we have left, and think about the worst case scenario.

At this point, if you have not at least begun to become a student of The Law of Attraction, then you really need to start. This way of thinking, practiced by 97% of the population, is exactly what keeps people from ever achieving financial independence. The ideal way of thinking at this point in time, and in the current situation, is one of complete focus on how you can take advantage of a struggling economy by making life enhancing financial choices. Simply put, you need to be thinking about exactly what you WANT, not what you DON’T WANT.

If you look back in history at previous recessions, you will see that the most money in history was made as a result of these recessions. If your strategy is to freeze up with fear, and cover your head until its all over, you will undoubtedly find a financial disaster awaiting you when you reemerge. It’s time to make strong moves, have depth of vision, and show strength of character by attacking this economic challenge with the confidence that all successful people possess.

Keep in mind that these opportunities don’t come around often and some serious thought should be given to how you can make it work out best for you. Think about what you can offer people in this current economic climate. What are you passionate about? What are people going to need when the economy starts to recover? What product or service can you provide? Do any of these things also bring you great joy? Find something you enjoy doing, find a way to help people by doing that activityj and then find a way to get paid for it. Sound to simplistic? Give it a try!

The only chance you have at big time monetary success, is by following your own bliss. The money alone will never be enough to sustain the consistent effort required to become successful. Let your own enjoyment guide you through life and business. This will allow you to enjoy the ride on the path to financial independence.

Now is the time. Don’t let fear run your life. Educate yourself on the current opportunities that interest you, and in a few years you could be sitting on more money than you ever thought possible. I know you can do this. Go for it!

What You Must Understand About Making Money

January 8th, 2010

admin

There has mostly likely been hundreds of thousands of books written on the topic of money. Most of these books focus specifically on how to make money. It is the force that runs our world wither we like it or not. This may not always be the case, but for now it is one of the driving forces that motivates us on a daily basis.

What most people don’t understand, is that its not really money were after at all. Its a feeling. We see money as the means be which we may achieve a specific desired feeling. A way to make us feel good, or any number of the other desired positive emotions that define our own personal pleasure. What we are after is a feeling. At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to feel incredibly happy? Of course! I think anyone who is truly honest with themselves would agree to this notion. Knowing this, I would like to make the assumption that, in most cases, it would be near impossible to be blissfully happy without having enough money to pay your bills. Fair enough?

With that said, let me give you a few helpful pieces of information to point you in the direction of financial independence.

The first battle that must be won on the war path to great wealth, is between you and your own mind. You must make it your belief that you can and will succeed from the very beginning. Once you have said to yourself “I’m going to do it, that’s it, period!“, you will have an easier time with this next potential road block. Remember, you never fail until you quit!

Mastery of this next mental skill, in itself, will propel you with lightning speed toward achievement of your financial dreams. Understand that, the excitement of winning must always be greater than your fear of losing. If you can train yourself to think this way automatically, you will become very wealthy in a relatively short period of time. However, if you let fear continue to run your life and keep you from taking calculated risks, you will most likely never achieve anything substantial in the financial sense.

The next habit you must remove from your unconscious is that of comparing yourself to other people when evaluating your financial success or progress. One of my very wealthy mentors once told me, ” Success is not what you’ve done compared to what other people have done. Success is what you’ve done compared to what you COULD HAVE DONE.” Always keep this in mind when trying to determine if your taking the appropriate action steps toward success. This is truly the most effective way to judge yourself if you want to achieve a great financial outcome.

Finally, this last concept is, by itself, the biggest reason why 95% of people in the United States make less than $100,000 a year. Don’t look outwardly and blame everyone else for why you are not making as much money as you should be. If you truly believe that everyone else is to blame, then your only option is to try and change everyone else. This is not an easy task. I would go so far as so say its impossible. Once you come to the realization that you are the problem, you can change, learn something, and grow wiser. It is far easier to change yourself, than it is to change anyone else. That is where your power lies. I cannot place enough emphasis on this. Without this, you will never create wealth in your life.

I hope that you see these last few concepts for how important they really are to your success. Please do not consider them simplistic. They will take time to master, however the rewards of your efforts will be life changing. I will go into greater detail in forthcoming blog posts on the specific mental and physical exercises you must master, in order to attract money into your life. Until then I will leave you with a statement of universal truth; The Poor and Middle Class Work for Money. The Rich Have Money Work for Them. More on this next time.

The Ways to Wealth, The Government Wont Tell You

December 6th, 2009

admin

I sincerely believe that the last part in the title of this post is the major reason why 1% of the population earns or controls 96% of the money in this country. Roughly 99% of the people in this country spend the majority of their hard working lives working for money, while the remaining 1% has money work for them, your money! This is such a gross imbalance of wealth that I sometimes find it hard to imagine how we got here. That is, if I didn’t already know.

When you really get down to it, all we are talking about is a nation wide, and often global example, of organized crime on a massive scale. This inexcusable monetary nightmare is secured by a multitude of different factors. The most important and affective of these factors include, the regular administration of misinformation to the general public. The people of the United States of America are fed a constant and heavy dose of lies every time we turn on the news, every time we read the paper, every time we open a magazine, surf the internet, and even when we listen to a live public address from our friends in Washington. For years we have been bombarded with massive amounts of purposely misleading information on a daily basis. With most people having no idea as to the hidden agenda of those who take dominion over us.

There are a few select groups of people who, at the very highest levels, and within associations that you have never heard of, for lack of a better term, control the world we live in and how it functions. These individuals include, primarily, people of government and industry. They are the ones who make up the 1% who is making nearly all the money. These associations, or secret societies, have been around for hundreds of years and have been very successfully at keeping the general public in the dark.

The good news to this unfortunate circumstance, is that there are a group of individuals who are currently working night and day to make sure this economic slavery does not continue. They are a very capable group of individuals, with only your best interest at heart. They are leading the charge against the most devastating adversary ever to face the American people……….our own monetary system. You see our monetary system is flawed in its very design, and because of this fundamental flaw, it will cause most people to stay in debt their whole lives. I happen to believe that this flaw is not a flaw, but potentially a perfect design created for the benefit of the powerful elite. Interest rates, fees, taxes, price manipulations, inflation, corporate monopolies, media, planned obsolescence, are all strategies designed to make a few people very very rich largely through the process of cyclical consumption. The worst part about these people getting rich is that the only way they know how to do it is by keeping you poor. They live their lives as parasites, feeding off our confusion, lack of education and low belief shown by the American people.

Knowing all this, I wake up every day with a smile on my face, knowing everything will be alright. My faith comes not from the pages of history nor from predictions of the future. My faith comes from my belief in our ability as human beings to do what is right. I still believe that there are far more good people on this earth than bad and that even those who have lost their way will have a chance to make it right.

Here is where you can make a difference in your own life as well as the lives of your friends, family and neighbors. On November 1st 2009, a group of very wealthy, powerful and morally sound individuals, launched a global foundation, who’s initiative will change the world as we know it for the better. The sole mission of this association is to provide the opportunity for financial independence, dynamic health and the attainment of truthful information, to every and all individuals willing to put forth effort. Put simply, they are going to show you how to make money, improve your health, and provide you with truthful, previously withheld information with the sole purpose of improving your life.

All information on this life changing opportunity can be found here at TomLavigne.com. You have been given the only opportunity, that I know of, to take control of your life through the attainment of valuable, truthful and immediately usable information. Be the change you wish to see in the world. The life you want it waiting for you. Go and get it!

God bless.

The last of the five key concepts that must be understood in order to create fabulous health and financial independence in your life, is the mastery of key concepts 1 through 4.

Only then, will the real magic happen in your life.

You must know who to listen to. You must constantly be assessing your teachability index. You must have a deep understanding of the training balance scale. Lastly, you must understand the 4 steps and how to achieve unconscious competence. Master the fundamentals!

All of your success from this point on in life, will depend upon your ability to master the previous four key concepts. This is not opinion. This is not theory.

How Teachable Are You?

November 13th, 2009

admin

What I would like to focus on today, is the second of five essential concepts that must be mastered if you want to achieve high levels of success in your life. This concept is called the Teachability Index. The Teachability Index will help you determine how teachable you are.

Now before I go into detail, I would just like to make one point very clear. Not some, but all of the most successful people in history scored very highly on the Teachability Index. Wither they were conscious of it or not, they were all very teachable.

Now, how do you define how teachable you are? Before this can be truly analyzed, you need to understand that there are two parts to the Teachability Index. These two parts are, in actuality, requirements of your level of teachability. The first requirement is “What is your willingness to learn the information?”. The second requirement is “What is your willingness to accept change?”. This may take some self examination on your part. I will tell you that the second one is usually far more difficult for people than the first. It must also be understood that in order to have a high Teachability Index, you must score high in both categories. For example, the Index is on a scale of 0 to 100. A person with 100% teachability has to have scored a 10 in both requirements, because 10 times 10 is 100. This also means that if your score a 10 in one requirement, but only scored a 3 in the other, your score will end up being a 30 out of a possible 100. It doesn’t take superior intelligence to know that you must score very high in both requirements to be considered highly teachable.
This is where your mind must be if you ever hope to achieve complete financial independence as well as vibrant and dynamic health. This is the essential component for learning that I really want you to to understand. The more teachable you are the easier it will be for you to grasp some of the Law of Attraction information coming your way soon. If you can become 100% teachable, and have already determined who to listen to (previous blog), your life will change so fast that it will blow your mind. So how teachable are you?

Welcome to TomLavigne.com

November 11th, 2009

Over the past few years, one thing has become abundantly clear to me. The state of the world is in trouble. Some people may look at this as a pessimistic outlook and choose not to acknowledge this as truth. This attitude of ignorance and avoidance will only accelerate our global crisis.

The good news is that we are not just helpless spectators in the game of life. We have complete power to create the life we want and the world we want should we only choose to use it. That is why I am here. I stepped away from my premedical career path in order to make an immediate impact on peoples lives in their time of greatest need. I can become a doctor anytime, but may only have a small window of time to educate people on how to improve their lives.

I feel that it is imperative that people be provided with the education required to create vibrant and dynamic health, as well as total financial independence. Only then will each individual have the power to create the life they want, within a world of abundance and sustainability.

My goal is to serve as teacher of the fundamentals, and to serve as your resource to some of the best teachers in the world. These fundamentals include the mental and physical capabilities required to completely change your life for the better. As soon as you begin to apply these skills and ways of thinking, you will never be the same. It is my hope that you will use this knowledge to create the life you always dreamed of having, and the life you truly deserve.

It is the mission of my colleagues and I to provide equal opportunity to all people to create abundant health and wealth through the attainment of information. I know you will find the content and resources on this site life changing. Thank you for taking the first step toward a brighter future. Have a wonderful day and enjoy my site!
