What Does Mike Dillard Have To Say About Attraction Marketing?

Christ said “A prophet is not welcome in his own land” mainly because in your circle of influence, folks have opinions as well as a prejudice about you. they have already judged your prospects for success based on what you’ve done in the past. Unless you’ve already been a success in the past, they’ll remember your history of breakdowns more clearly than your history of successes.
Probably the most distressing instructions any new network marketing distributor is ever going to hear are, “make an inventory of 100 of your good friends, family members, and business contacts and get in touch with all of them”. This might just be wonderful training for some also it can bear fruit, but there’s a less painful method than pursuing people who have doubts about you.
Picture this example: what goes on when a guy chases non-stop after a woman to get a night out? She RUNS away from him. What happens each time a salesman is overly-eager to close a sale? The prospect feels his desperation and is put off. The same thing occurs when a multilevel marketing rep pursues a prospect because he’s motivated to achieve the next higher level of the pay plan or simply because they want to win a contest: the prospective client runs away!
Just what might it take to have prospects chase YOU? How would you develop into the “sought after”, instead of the seeker?
You may have had the experience of something really great happening to you while you were least expecting it. It’s not unusual to hear to hear about a male who begins getting more attention from females when he’s no longer on the lookout for a hookup. Any time a sales person exudes an air of “I don’t really care whether you buy my product or not”, it may cause you to want the product even more. (After all, if the salesman has all the business he wants, the product must be really good, right?) And we’ve all learned about couples who conceive a child the moment they stop trying so hard.
Life sometimes seems bizarre. Why do do we have trouble acquiring the stuff we want, and creating the situations we want most? Why is it that the harder we try, the fewer results we get? One school of thought is that a person subconsciously rejects the things he or she desires. I want to clarify. If you WANT a thing, it’s because you don’t HAVE the thing, right? Stay with me here. In the end, if you possessed what you want you wouldn’t have to “want” it, correct? We think that WANTING something helps us GET it and the more we want it, the more likely we are to get it. Maybe that’s not true.
Here’s yet another way of considering it: we all only want things and circumstances we don’t possess. If you want a larger downline, you are unconsciously holding it in your head that you do not have a big enough downline. If your mindset is that you don’t have enough recruits, then you definitely can’t HAVE enough recruits.
The bottom line is that you can not possess the two things simultaneously. You simply can’t have enough and NOT have enough simultaneously. It’s like night and day. They can’t both be found in the same place concurrently.
The true secret to building a successful multi-level marketing downline is to do the things that you need to do (phone calls, blogs, enrolling and training activities) and don’t be emotionally attached to the end result. You should not do them simply because you don’t have enough. Engage in your business-building activities simply because they produce a predictable outcome if you do them. If you build your business from a mindset of lack, you’ll attract people who have the same mindset–lack. The principle is “what goes around comes around.”
Concern yourself more with the quality of your effort than with the final results. If you take pleasure in your recruiting efforts and if you communicate an unspoken message that you don’t need your prospect to join your down line, they’ll wonder what it is you enjoy so much about your opportunity and they’ll choose to work with with you because it’s clear that you’re having a good time.
This simple and straightforward shift in your state of mind will make you a Beacon of Attraction Marketing and you’ll stand out from your rivals, no matter which multilevel marketing organization you represent.

Are You One Of The 10% Who Can Succeed In Network Marketing?

For all the hype and hoorah, most MLMers make less than they spend on their businesss. and most of those who survive into Year Two make less than $500 per month.
That isn’t enough money to attract high-quality people. I doubt it’s enough to interest you, either.
you probably didn’t sign up to make $500 per month. More likely, you were attracted by the possibility of becoming financially independent. So what can you do to enhance your chances?
Unless you’re fortunate enough to have a tech-savvy sponsor, you’re probably not going to get much help finding a way to build your business on the internet. It’s not your sponsor’s fault though. (Keep in mind that if he or she is “average”, they have no idea how to build a network!)
Even though the internet has been used to sell everything from houses to horses, it has only recently become a viable tool for MLMers. Through to hard work and insights of a small group or really smart people, it is slowly becoming a reality. But the vast majority of network builders get into an MLM for the wrong reason–they used a product that helped them lose weight or save money, and now they want to tell other people about it.
You sponsor might be under the impression that the way to success in your business is to “sell a lot of product”. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Don’t misunderstand me: you NEED to represent a good product and a reputable company. Otherwise you’re going to spend a lot of time explaining why your product really doesn’t work very well.
Most networkers are initially attracted to an MLM opportunity because of the superior quality of a product. This is an important factor in choosing a company to represent, but it’s not the MOST important factor. Of course, you want to share a product you like and can stand behind. If you’re just selling something for the money, your prospects will sniff you out and know you’re insincere and they won’t listen to you the next time you have something you want to tell them about.
In fact, I’ll say something here that’s almost heresy: “Your Product Is Not Important To Your Success!” Well, it’s important, but it’s not the be-all and end-all of your business.
If you’re getting into MLM as a path to independence, there are two things you can offer your prospect that are more important than which product you offer. 1) The vision of residual income and financial independence, and 2) the belief in YOU, that you’ll help them get there. And the only way you can do that is to provide them with a turn key system that is so simple THEY CANNOT FAIL.
The reason most people fail in MLM is that once they’ve signed up for their primary opportunity, they have no idea what to do. It’s really weird that in the Internet era, the same old garbage advice is handed down from sponsor to recruit: “make a list of 100 people and start calling them.”
OMG! Who in their right mind wants to call 100 people who don’t want to hear about a business opportunity? (Actually, I know someone who LOVES to do that. Thank God for Caller ID. I can avoid his calls and not hurt his feelings! He’s not in his right mind.)
The Net is the ideal tool for building a networking business. But it seems out of reach of most people because it seems like you need to be a computer wiz to create a user-friendly system. Unless you’re a high-end programmer, that’s almost impossible.
(If you’re a computer pro and you also have marketing skills I hope you WILL think about creating an automated downline building system. Let me know because there’s a huge market for a prospecting/recruiting system that non-techie types can use, and I’ll be the first!)
Part One of the best system I’ve found is Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard. Mike is a very insightful guy. He realized years ago that the most important part of being a success in MLM is the part between your ears. what he teaches in Magnetic Sponsoring is how to acquire the success mindset that will keep you from sabotaging your MLM success.
The second part is called MLM Lead System Pro, which is a turn key system for building an online recruiting “machine” that’s extremely effective and easy-to-implement.
One of the most common “blind spots” for networkers is that we can’t see the gaps in our own knowledge. We want to charge ahead and change the world (and our financial destinies) but we do so unprepared. The tortoises who prepare themselves well always outperform the impulsive hares who leap into action without knowing what they’re doing. These two tools signal the provide the competitive edge that can put any dedicated MLMer in the most-successful 5% of any company.
After struggling to build his MLM for many years, John Zehr discovered a way to attract new business partners almost magically. He’s offering free training videos that explain the “Magnetic Sponsoring” techniques at his web site, free of charge.
