Leverage the Spiderweb

Mistake #21
Not understanding & leveraging
the spiderweb effect.

You have been recommending and promoting products & services since you were age 5.
You could look at it as a spiderweb you have created – lines here, there and everywhere
to many different people. Your spiderweb will attract to you the people, the places & the
products that will lead to your success in life ... if only you build & nurture it.

We recently had 35 team members attend Tom “Big Al” Schreiter’s Power Marketing
Workshop. They learned techniques that will change their lives and change their
business. But it wouldn’t have happened without the spiderweb effect.

They joined Mentoring For Free. We put out an email promoting the Workshop. And
these people said, “Yes! I need to expand my knowledge base.” Because of the spiderweb
effect, they are able to do that.

They are opening their eyes. They walked away from that training with brand-new,
brilliant marketing concepts.

Five years ago at a Power Marketing Workshop, I came up with the idea for Mentoring
For Free
. It’s in my notebook. THAT is a spiderweb.

Are you In 5 Pillars Company?

Mistake #20
Not taking this business
from your head to your heart.

Network marketing is a level playing field. It’s mandatory that you know in your heart
that you are working with a “5 Pillars” company. And you will get that from your head
to your heart.

I frequently hear people say, “Well, I know this thing won’t last very long. But I’m gonna
get in there and make a bunch of money.”

No, you’re not.

It’s going to crash and burn around you ... and it will help destroy your credibility with
people as it goes down in flames.

I could put up an “MLM Horror Stories” website. A lady I met recently built a business
for 7 years. The company is 11 years old, and it has gone through 9 compensation plans.
They’ve got it really figured out now. This lady has a quarter-million dollars of
volume in her group, and she didn’t even qualify for a check last month!

When she joined the company, how much volume was underneath her? That’s easy –
ZERO!

So her efforts over 7 years – and the efforts of her recruits – have brought in a lot of
people. But she started it. Without her, it would not have been there.

So now it’s there. She created this volume for the company. And the company has
consistently figured ways to rip off the distributors and pay them less money.

Once you get it from your head to your heart that you MUST be in a “5 Pillars” company,
then you own it. I could be talking to a widowed woman raising 3 children, and I know in
my heart that she’s got just as much of an opportunity to make her business work as I did
when I started.

Do You Have a MasterMind Group?

Mistake #19
Not leveraging the talent & brains of a
Mastermind Group of like-minded people.

Everyone gets down from time to time. When you’re plugged in to like-minded people,
they will always lift you up.

Even better than that ... you have an idea. You share the idea with your Mastermind
Group. So 1 mind becomes 3 minds becomes 23 minds. It just grows exponentially, when
you’re working with a Mastermind.

We do a weekly Mastermind Conference Call that anybody is invited to join, where we
talk about great ideas & get lots of different thoughts on how to use them. If you’d like
details on how to get on this call, email Paul Sorgi at paul.sorgi@gmail.com .

Having Your FAVORITE Product May be the Worst Thing You Can Do!

Mistake #18
“I’ve got to have the best product out there!”

Wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this one.

Some people – especially those GREEN, introverted, data-driven personality types –
search network marketing companies by product only. They want a product THEY love,
something that totally changes THEIR life, and that’s all they’ll ever promote.

The result is, they personally try lots of products. But they’ll only promote something that
gets them personal, earth-shattering results. That way, they can totally focus on their
wonderful product, and never have to do the icky part of the business – building a
relationship with their prospects!

Sure, it makes sense to some people ... but in this business, it leads you far from success.
The key is, pick a product that OTHER people want. That is the key. You target a
starving crowd for your market. If the product turns you on, that’s a bonus. It MUST turn
on a big market for you to have long-term success, and that is your first consideration.
But a lot of people make that mistake over and over, choosing only a product that THEY
love.

One way to find a starving market – and the product that fills their need – is to do some
Google searches and compare the number of web pages available for different products.
If one product has 10 million websites, and another has 300,000, which one probably
offers the bigger market for you to approach?

How Many No's do you Want?

Mistake #17
Get 100 "No"s and you're closer to a "Yes."

Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. If 3 “No”s hurt real bad, why do you need 97 more? Most
new reps will be dead before they ever get to 100 “No”s. Instead, target your market.

I don’t like “No.” I haven’t gotten a “No” about my opportunity in years, because I don’t
position myself to get a “No.” Just talk to people who have raised their hand, who are
interested in what you do. That alone will change your life.

We have a system that allows you to do that. When you promote my “Success In 10
Steps” ebook, you ONLY get interested people who want to talk to you. And when you
call them up, we train you to use a script that is 100% successful. That doesn’t mean they
will all join you, of course. But it does mean you NEVER get a “No.” You’ll be able to
hear this script in action on our FREE nightly training phone calls.
