How To Qualify Network Marketing Prospects In 15 seconds or less

No matter what you do, and no matter how well you present yourself, you’re going to come across people who want to ask you 60 questions before they decide to make a decision on joining your team, so you need to recognize this “type” and try to qualify these prospects ASAP.

How To Qualify Your Prospects In 15 seconds or less:

If you promise help and training somewhere on some of your sites like I frequently do, then you’re attracting people who want this kind of help, therefore you already know they’re:

  • Not successful yet
  • Need help!

When they call, or you call them introduce yourself, and ask them:

“What can I do for you?”
“How Can I help you?”

This sets the tone for the conversation since they wanted contact from you, and you immediately present yourself as someone who’s there to help, not someone who’s there to sell them something.  And you’re not calling to sell them something, you’re there to find out what they want, tell them how you can help them get what they want, and to relay the notion that being involved with you and your team is going to accomplish this.

Take control of the conversation:

Ascertain what it is they want answered.  Ask them questions like;

“Have you been involved in any programs before this one you’re interested in?”

“Have you been successful in the past?

This helps you gauge the qualiTY of your prospect and the best way to qualiFY them.  Then answer the questions you feel like answering to take control of the conversation:

Sum up and asnwer everything they SHOULD be asking you like:

  • What kind of help and training are being offered
  • How successful your team members have been with this

Now when Mr. or Mrs. 60 Questions has a follow up question on top of all you said in your “elevator pitch” then here’s what you NEED to say to them:

“I’ve answered your questions and told you the help we give our team members and how they’re successful following our methods for duplicating success.   Right now I am interviewing YOU to see if I should spend time training you, so are you trainable and coachable and ready to get going here?”

A lot of people will take great humbrage or offense at this approach…!

And you should be offended that someone just tried to waste your time with 60 questions…

THEY’RE not successful yet

Hopefully you are

DO NOT GET DRAGGED DOWN INTO THE POOL OF THE 95%-ers WHO ARE FAILING!

If you lie down with dogs, you end up with fleas, as they say.

Surround yourself with quality people, and get your prospects qualified as quickly as possible so you can spend more time with people:

  • who DO want to take action,
  • who DO want to follow proven effective lead generation and marketing systems
  • who will be quality additions to your downline structure

Do you really want to spend 30 minutes trying to explain and asnwer every little question these people might have?

If you do this, subconsciously these folks are thinking they just took you down a notch by taking up your valuable and precious time, and the more time of yours they get to waste, the less valuable they think you and your time are worth.

Free Traffic System For Network Marketers

November 4, 2009 by Daniel Mcgonagle · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Online Lead Generation 

As a network marketer, I am always on the lookout for the best types of traffic systems to use, but always with an eye towards which ones best fit into my funded proposals.

There are a lot of free traffic system courses and services out there, but hardly any have an MLM component to them.  IF you’re a team leader building or looking to add an income stream to your funded proposal, it always makes sense to incorporate something that has an MLM component to it.

With network marketing business models, the power of this business model is in the leveraging of your efforts and other’s too.  Therefore, whatever traffic system you recommend should have built-in leveraging components to it.

In other words, if you recommend a free traffic system to someone in your downline or on your list, you want to ensure that there’s multi-layered benefits to getting people into that system.

  • You want to make sure you get more than just an affiliate commission
  • You want to ensure that the people who join under you benefit your funded proposals and overall bottom line with added traffic, backlinks, lower-tiered commissions etc…
  • You want to leverage your recommendations to the fullest, which is why you should recommend traffic generation systems and/or services that do all of these aforementioned things.
  • finally, you want to make sure that these free traffic systems actually do work for getting traffic for yourself and the people who signed up under you.

I’ve come across 2 Traffic Systems with MLM components to them.

  • The first one didn’t even have a free option, and their service was questionable.
  • The other service I came across does have a free option that has all the MLM components and benefits listed in the bullet points above.

The system I recommend adding into your funded proposal is called Free Traffic System:

For a quick look on the differences between FREE and PRO membership – look at this table I scraped from their site.

FREE vs PRO
Features to compare: FREE PRO
Number of backlinks inside each article Up to

120 backlinks

Up to 720 backlinks

(more links inside each article and more pages with backlinks on blogs)

Number of blogs for republishing 1 article 30 blogs 40 blogs
Possibility to re-choose blogs if you for some reason get less than 40 publications per article
No Yes
Discounts on our special services No Yes
Access to “Elite SEO Push” service No Yes
Access to Secret SEO materials(unique SEO and Internet marketing secrets, tips and cutting edge experience) No Yes

(undisclosed to the rest of the world)

Priority on support No Yes

(special ticket system for PROs only)

Priority on article moderation No Yes
Additional link added to all your articlesby Free Traffic System

(link or your upline affiliates or link from the system)

Yes No

(only your links in the articles)

Pro Membership PricePrice Option #1 – Pay $47 Monthly

Price Option #2 – Pay $497 LIFETIME Access

(Lifetime = NO Monthly Payments)

Once again, you are not obliged to become a PRO member, you can stay FREE as long as you want. But if you are ready for a real fight and want to build backlinks like no one from your competitors – then PRO membership is your real helper in that case.

Right after you register in Free Traffic System, you become a FREE member by default. And those who want to become PRO members can do that from inside the members area (you will find more details about it on the Upgrade to PRO page of your members area) or by accepting our special proposition that you will see right after the registration.

NOTE:

Look at the BOLDED MAROON section in the table above.  If you recommend people to use the service and they only become free members, you still benefit via additional backlinks.

That’s what the power of funded proposals is all about!  This is a perfect fit and addition for any network marketer’s funded proposal: you get more backlinks, traffic, and income from recommending this service to others.

Efusjon review + How to Make 1k/week in Efsujon Murielle’s Story part 2

November 3, 2009 by Daniel Mcgonagle · Leave a Comment

This is part 2 of the Efusjon review series and Muirelle’s story.  It’s quite inspiring and reveals how persistence and reality checks combined with a determination to succeed will eventually bring you the success in network marketing that you’re striving for.

In part 2 of this Efusjon review story, Muirelle reveals;

  • Why Efusjon is different +
  • How to Make $1000 a week or a month with Efusjon.

At this point you are probably wondering why is this one different and how can you can quickly make $1000 a week, well let me explain.

Efusjon created a revolutionary community compensation structure and you can be rewarded in ways that have never before been seen in the network marketing industry.   The “community overlap” plan rewards you not only for your efforts and your organizations efforts, but even for the efforts of people beside you and above you within the community matrix!   So with support of active associates from the left, the right, and above your organization, you can get paid on people completely unaffiliated with you.

This creates a feeling of community and an a true opportunity for all to succeed in direct sales.

Month 1

You join the club for under $200.   This covers your enrollment fee and 4 cases of your product.   has 4 great flavors of healthy all natural no preservatives energy drink.

You tell 3 friends about the club and for each you person you introduce to the energy club you receive a $75 product volume bonus off their first month’s order.

You have now made $225 your first month in the business.

Month 2

With your sponsors help, now you help your 3 friends tell their 3 friends about the efusjon Energy Club and help them get their 3 into the business and receive a $200 coaching bonus on each one.

You have now made $600 your 2nd month in the business, plus now you will begin receiving 4.5% in residual month commissions from the people you enrolled into the business.

Month 3

It continues to pay forward with your friends helping their friends and so on, so let’s look at approximate numbers:

With each person paying it forward, you can see how this grows…

  • Month 2- 9 Associates =  $48.60 + Varying Bonus’
  • Month 3- 27 Associates = $145.80 + Varying bonus’
  • Month 4- 81 Associates =  $437.40 (just residual)
  • Month 5- 243 Associates =  $1,312.20
  • Month 6- 729 Associates =  $3,936.60

For each person you introduce into the efusjon business, you get paid a 4.5% of any sales volume of associates that were enrolled by you, your enrollees, and their enrollee’s and so on through all 15 levels of your community matrix.

Now let’s talk about the free money!!

For your neighbors working either side of you, you receive 2.25% of any sales volume on the associates that were placed in your matrix through community overlap.    These numbers are not included in the above.

Finally let’s talk about how you can make $1000 a week in efusjon.  If you ask any business owner how long it takes them to see a profit in their business, most will tell you at least 5 years because of costs associated with starting a business.   In direct sales we can see a profit after only a couple of months in the business.  I would like to be objective and set realistic goals that you might like to achieve after 1 year in business.

Your matrix holds about 131,000 associates.  Although I believe with the right goal setting and effort, each of us can get it at least 1% right after 1 year in business. .

  • 131,100 x 1% = 1311
  • 50% Direct Enrollees = $3,539 / month
  • 50% Community Overlap = $1770 / month
  • Monthly income would be over $5,309 per month
  • That’s over $63,000 a year.

With all this said, I’m not here to recruit you to Efusjon, just to tell my story and to share with you why I chose Efusjon as my stimulus plan.    Each of us will form our own opinion of what works best for us and why.

Should you desire more information, please feel free to reach out to me.   Our team success is phenomenal and experiencing exponential growth.    Team Energy 212 is positioned for success and growing a power matrix in the company.   We offer tools such as conference calls and webinars to plug into at least 3 to 4 days a week, training materials and a business plan to help each member of our team reach their goals and dreams.

I wish you the best in your endeavors in the direct sales industry and look forward to talking to many of you.   muirelle@gmail.com   http://www.energy212.com

Efusjon Review – Muirelle’s Story Part 1

November 2, 2009 by Daniel Mcgonagle · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Efusjon 

Hi, Daniel McGonagle here.  I invited Muirelle Montecalvo, a leader in Team Efusjon, to write about her experiences with the Efusjon network marketing program and company.

I trust her and I thought it would be good for you to read her EFusjon review / overview to get a better understanding on how money is really made in network marketing, but also to reveal to you someone who truly knows how to network and build monster teams under her.

So begins Muirelle’s Efusjon review and story – Part 1

Here we all sit in a horrible economy with a stock market can’t make up its mind if it’s up or down, we get laid off from our jobs, and our housing market is still not that great.  Many are losing their homes and that feeling of control of being able to provide for your families.   I’d like to tell you a story and I hope you take time to listen.

I was a successful business women and with a six figure income working for a medium size company in corporate America when my company fell on hard times last year. With the future looking bleak of finding something else, it was time to make a change. I looked at buying a business or perhaps a franchise, but that seemed so expensive, start up costs ranging from $100,000 to $300,000 and no guarantees and the average business owner not seeing any profit or for that matter anything for the first 5 years in business. It seemed the odds were stacked against me. I couldn’t afford that, I have young children and a family to support!

Big companies that got bailout money, their execs still have their jobs and bonus’ while many of the rest of the country suffers. Small businesses are getting hit with taxes that are pushing them out of business coupled with not much money flowing is just making things worse.
I looked at the potential to own my own business.

I quickly discovered that starting a business or buying a franchise was very expensive ranging anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000 in start up costs.  Something I definitely could not afford right now and with no guarantees of success with this economy so I looked at the Direct Sales Industry.   The benefits seemed good, low start up costs, a business with virtually no financial risk, tax benefits, the unlimited income potential and flexibility to be able to spend more time with family seemed like it would be a great way to get started.

At the time, like many others, I got talked into the greatest company with promises of tons of money and great business etc. etc. It all seemed great and I signed up. I went out and found a couple of really motivated people like me and together we put in 600 people directly and indirectly by helping our team in a few short months!!!!   That many people should be pretty great for direct sales don’t you think?

Well sadly I made nothing worth talking about.  You know why?

Because like most MLM companies their comp plans are confusing and when presented by the “upline” are not completely explained correctly.   These seem to be stacked in the favor of the few that succeed.   Most are a minimum of 15 pages long with all kinds of loop holes and stipulations that were hard to meet and if you didn’t meet them in certain time frames then you got absolutely nothing. Not to mention there were so many ways they found to keep the money by cutting you off, it made me sick. I couldn’t believe the company had been around as long as they have.

I quickly found it was hard for most of the team to make anything and I wasn’t making much either after all that hard work.

One of the great things is I started to meet some great networking leaders in the industry and a couple of new companies were in pre-launch. One suggested I buy a spot as this was going to be the next big one.   I decided I wanted to really learn about the industry so that I could share my knowledge with others and perhaps make a change where others could succeed well so I bought a spot to check it out.

In a short period of time I had over 400+ people under me.

It’s was a binary so guess what, 400 people under me in a “power leg” are worth nothing unless I keep putting people in my weak leg and if I only get a couple, then the leg isn’t worth anything.   It’s basically a way for the company to say you need to build both sides but we’ll only pay you on one. In my continued research I bought a cheap spot in another and again I have thousands under me but again nothing unless I build a huge team on the other side.

So how does that help the average person who wants to try direct sales?

I decided to really study comp plans and look for the right company, where not only the leaders made money, but the average person could too.   We needed to create our own stimulus package!!!

I began to study statistics and compensation plans of at least 40 network marketing companies and quickly discovered that most people know and can introduce at least 3 people to a business through word of mouth advertising.

However, even if you do this, most network marketing companies you still don’t make much if anything, therefore the turnover is extremely high and unfortunately most people become negative on the industry.

It was time to find the right product and the right plan and be able to share my findings with others to the same financial and time freedom that I was seeking.

In my research, I was introduced to efusjon and have not looked back since. I joined in June and in a few short weeks had over 100 on my team just through duplication.   Not only was I getting checks, but almost everyone on my team was too!!!!

It was truly THE BEST comp plan in the industry.   Why?

Efusjon had created a pay plan that was different and has never been seen before in the network marketing industry.  A simple plan that takes only 1 page to explain.  No balancing, no hoops, no building power legs, no titles, and a true opportunity for each of us to equally create our own stimulus package.

Like the “Pay It Forward”, CEO and Founder Rob Towles had a vision to help people and give them an opportunity to create their own stimulus package.   Before getting involved, I wanted to make sure this was the right company, I did not want to be sucked in by the networkers that were all about themselves (and we all know plenty of them!), so my sponsor set up a call for Rob and I to talk.

I listened!  I listened to man who had a vision to help the world.   A true vision of selflessness and I was impressed.

Mandura changes Compensation Plan! Good or bad?

November 2, 2009 by Daniel Mcgonagle · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Mandura 

Mandura is a program I am pretty knowledgeable about and I just found out they modified their compensation plan.  However, this post is really mean to educate you about network marketing compensation plans and how different ones affect you personally.

Is Mandura’s compensation plan change good for Mandura members or is it a bad thing?

Madura has a straight-line matrix compensation plan which is a comp plan I’ve always been a big fan of, and part of that comp plan structure was to give a certain percentage of generational commissions to the people who sign up under you, and then formthe people who signe dup under them.

This is a typical mlm network marketing compensation plan. The leveraging of yours and other’s efforts to build your own income, so nothing new there really since almost all compensation plans work that way.

However, what Mandura did recently was they lessened the commissions that IBOs got from their immediate generations but also furthered the outreach and generational bonuses and commissions.

The bad part about Mandura’s Compensation Plan change:

If you are/were an IBO for Mandura you’re going to see less commissions from people you’ve signed up under you, and you’re going to see less commissions from the people they signed up, too.  Moving forward, every person you sign up means less to you in a lot of ways.

You make less per direct signup

Your downlines earn less per their direct enrollees

Your income and your downlines income take a hit here

This makes it harder for average network marketers to get into profit and will be sort of a death knoll for a lot of the IBOs breaking even or even losing money on a monthly basis.

The good part about Mandura’s Compensation Plan change:

Now that we got the bad stuff out of the way, let’s look at the positive side of these changes.

The other side of this coin, the main reason behind these changes to the compensation plan was actually to enhance the income generating potential for Mandura IBOs by extending the generational commissions to deeper and deeper levels down into the matrix.

So while you might make less right now, Mandura’s comp plan change has actually increased the earnings potential here because it encourages people to:

ship up or ship out,

to build and support their teams

and basically lights a fire under stagnant teams who are sitting on their hands waiting for stuff to happen.

It’s almost as if Mandura treated their IBOs like children, saying,

I’m taking this toy away from you for no reason known to you and without your consent (changed comp. plan),

so you’re going to have to start acting differently (start building your generations out more)

in order to get an even bigger, and better toy back later on (more income potential)

Overall, here’s what I think will happen as a result of this compensation plan change.

Those who aren’t making  a lot of money right now or are losing money every month will bail out and leave Mandura, using this as their excuse to leave

Those who have built solid teams and have good system sin place will re-double their efforts because they don’t want their efforts to this point to go to waste, and the successful networkers will see this as a good excuse to redouble their efforts to capitalize on these changes.
