Online Network Marketing Versus Offline Network Marketing
You see a lot of people and sales letters stating that offline network marketing is dead, and that online, internet network marketing is the next “best way” to achieve great results with your network marketing business.
However, the following old maxim still remains true:
Bring online prospects OFFline, and Bring offline prospects ONline.
What this means is…
Online internet network marketing is done to attract prospects. When you attract prospects, you usually gather some sort of information if you have anything of value to give away, like a good newsletter, free report, or just great site content that makes you want to be an RSS subscriber for that site.
Your online marketing leads to some sort of action by your readers, listeners, prospects whatever… If at some point they need to contact you, or you need to contact them you have some ways to do that due to marketing efforts and attraction.
However, a lot of the REAL network marketing is done face-to-face or phone-to-phone, or even Skype. You rise above the noise of all other network marketing opportunities, new launches and pre-launches when you eliminate it via individual attention, which is really only accomplished via the telephone, the #1 BEST network marketing tool ever, and FORever.
When you actually converse with people instead of talking to, or marketing to prospects..then you’re really doing network marketing the way it is supposed to be done.

ShopBest – Informational Review on Shop Best MLM
ShopBest is a fairly new MLM company also referred to as Shop Best (with spaces).
ShopBest is a multi-level marketing company which combines shopping and saving with exclusive retail offers that are available for use at well-known websites. ShopBest leverages online retail with social media to help people make money by rewarding shopping habits and new user referrals. The organization also gives back, contributing 10% of its corporate profits to selected children’s charities recommended by valued distributors. Founded in November 2009, ShopBest is planning a national launch for March 2010 in Las Vegas.
What makes ShopBest different in terms of MLM and network marketing opportunities?
Well, the reality of the MLM Network marketing world is that many of the items being sold are over priced because they need to factor in compensation for their distributors. Many health related products and health related netowrk marketing companies fit this description, unfortunately.
Here’s some down to earth facts for you:
- More and more people are coming online every day and becoming more familiar with all that can be done form the comfort of an online shopping or surfing experience.
- Online shopping and e-commerce is grabbing an ever-increasing market share in the world of retail, and E-tail is becoming more and more of a necessity for the larger merchant brands.
- with more and more internet-savvy shoppers on the horizon, there are more bargain-savvy consumers out there doing online shopping.
- when you combine these three facts with a network marketing opportunity that doesn’t really require any selling, you have what looks to be a winner.
Is ShopBest just another surf and shop-to-earn program and opportunity?
These types of programs have been around before and have come and gone into the Wild, Wild West of outdated programs with meager potential for earnings and business growth.
ShopBest seems a bit different because they have a free membership, unlike other programs, and they also provide a way for free members to earn an income as free members just by surfing, sharing, shopping and earning income and cash back.
As shoppers browse for items ranging from toiletries to automobiles, points are accumulated on the toolbar that can be used to trade for gifts or money. ShopBest even awards shopping points for sharing free toolbars with other users.
Who is running ShopBest behind the scenes?
As you may well know, leadership in a network marketing program is important because it gives you an indication on how well the whole system and program is going to work, if at all.
are the people behind ShopBest and they have experience with and have been successful with those ventures, but haven’t proven themselves with this type of Multi Level Marketing concept yet.
NOTE: I’ll have to admit this is a rather weak negative point because when something is new and unique then nobody has had a chance to prove themselves yet in that particular arena.
What I like and dislike about ShopBest
Dislikes:
Sales page seems a little on the hyped-up side, too many exclamation points
I like reading text when trying to ascertain what a program is all about
Likes:
It’s not a health-related product, so the opportunity isn’t the real product here, saving money and earning money by sharing this concept is the real product
Has free entry level so members can join for free then upgrade later on to increase earnings

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
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.
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
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
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?
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.

Does Paying It Forward work?
I sent an email to my list recently offering to help people with whatever issues were of concern to them and one individual said he had trouble keeping people in his downlines even though he was Paying It Forward (paying the monthly fees) for people to join under his programs.
You can view the email I sent out by going here
This is known as PIF or Paying It Forward and it’s a terrible idea!
You may have even seen the emails stating,
“I will pay your way in, join here now!”
What these marketers are basically telling people is that it’s super-easy to get people to join your program when you offer to pay their way in, therefore it’s super-easy to replicate and duplicate this “easiest of downline building methods”.
In no way, shape, nor form does this brand you as someone who is an expert.
This method is basically telling people to use a “trick” to get people to join their program witohut really having to do any work.
This method doesn’t not build your business, does not practice good attraction marketing techniques and doesn’t really increase your cash flow.
This method also leads to high attrition rates because of the types of people who took you up on your offer of having their membership fees paid for them.
Who do you want on your team in your primary program, freebie-seekers looking for a quick way to make cash, or people who don’t need their membership fees paid since they’re already somewhat successful in what they’re doing?
How does a network marketer create an All-Star team of networkers in his/her downline?
Ask Murielle Monetalvo, who is building a MONSTER team for efusjon…
Or just consider the type of person you want on your team and how you can attract them to you….
Lets pretend for a minute that I’m a network marketing newbie and I see an ad that says,
“Ill pay your way in, learn my secrets for easy downline building and duplication, guaranteed”
First of all, as a newbie that’d appeal to me but as a team leader do you really want newbies with this mindset on your team?
- It’s the newbies who need the most help and motivation to get a productive business going.
- It’s the newbies who still need to overcome some mental hurdles like having a job mentality before they can truly grow their business.
- It’s the newbies who desperately need to realize there are no shortcuts here, otherwise the successful types would have done those already
So let’s say you run an ad like this and fork over XXX dollars a month to fund these people’s memberships…
You’ve already shown them that you encourage very little effort on their part to join a business by removing the entry fee, but that also means you aren’t getting people on your team who are willing to invest in their businesses due to their inherent fears (of failure and of success).
Therefore you’re enabling them to continue their fearful, no-risk, take-no-action ways….
Everyone loves a freebie, but not many non-serious, non-motivated people invest in their businesses and marketing education.
When it comes to spirituality, Paying It Forward does work, but do you want your real-life business to be reliant upon karma?
It’s better karma to attract higher quality people with your message and content than it is to provide them with freebies, which only a small percentage will duplicate/Pay Forward.
The higher quality people WILL duplicate, but with less effort from you, due to their very nature.
Hope all this makes sense and serves you well.
Network Marketing Tips: 5 Things Network Marketer Leaders Do Daily
The internet and network marketing industry is filled with so-called, self proclaimed leaders who are Fakin’ It Until They Make It.
Part of the reason for this is a lot of people get sold on the whole notion of attraction marketing after reading Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring book so they set out to brand themselves instantly as leaders in this industry via attraction marketing.
However, reading an ebook does not a leader make (semi-Yoda like there, eh?) The amazing thing to me is that everyone is touting Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring as their main “Bible” to follow to achieve their marketing success.
But if you are practicing attraction marketing but with no success or practical knowledge to back it up, that is a pretty shallow, myopic, and useless method to use to build your business. There needs to be some “Ommph!” and legitimacy behind your attraction marketing methods; your lifestyle pics, your “look at me I’m successful!”" writings, recordings, videos and what-not…
5 Things Network Marketing Leaders Do Daily
1. Visualization techniques – If you Fail to Plan, you Plan to Fail, as the saying goes
The way visualization works is you imagine/visualize things as you’d like them to happen or even visualize them as if they’ve already happened.
As an avid golfer in my high school years, I was doing a lot of visualization techniques before I knew what visualization techniques even were! It was a natural thing for me to do because I truly loved the game of golf and prior to taking every shot there was some sort of visualization involved.
The funny thing about visualization is you’re not surprised when things happen exactly as you imagined them, quite the opposite actually… With visualization you’re only surprised when you don’t see the end results…
A friend of my family who is also a golfing fanatic has a picture of him inside the clubhouse depicting him chipping in from 30-40 yards away, and in the picture there’s a guy congratulating him saying,
“Wow! nice shot, I can’t believe you hit the pin and sunk it from 40 yards out…!!”
And my family friend’s response was,
“Why not? I was aiming for it”..
and he was completely serious, too. He expected every shot to go in.
This may sound a little too much like new-age horse hockey but applying and implementing this network marketing tip will lave the mental foundation upon which all your success will be built upon, seriously…
Practice visualization techniques on a daily basis, preferably before you get into your rhythm for your day…and again at the end of the day as a re-affirmation method to put you to sleep with your goals set straight.
Put yourself in the space of ALREADY achieving your goals. Meditate, feel, taste, and smell the outcome. if you do it right this part will become so real to you that it will move you to the next step.
2. Focus on true income- producing activities
This particular network marketing tip is one of he hardest to implement because a lot of people don’t know what true income-producing activities really are.
The minutiae or running an online business can include the following:
- checking and replying to emails,
- organizing their PC and desk desktops of clutter,
- visualizing and planning the day,
- training downlines and reps,
- attending company training and opportunity calls,
- talking on the phone to downlines and potential new team members
While these are all just some of the elements involved in running a business, they’re not always the true income-producing activities you want to be spending most of your time on. In the network marketing world there are only two things that make your money;
- Prospecting – getting leads
- Prospecting – closing the leads
End of Story, just remember though, that anything that helps you prospect more is an added task that lends to your overall momentum.
3. Personal development, self mastery
One of the best business and network marketing tips you’ll ever hear is the tip that tells you that you have to work on yourself more than you work on your business.
Your brain is what drives your business, your life, and your daily actions inside and out of business 9in case you didn’t know). This means every single day reading or listening or watching something that will better you as a leader. There is always enough time in the day. Turn off the tv, put down the newspapers, and garbage novels. At lunch if you have an iPod or iPhone put on your headsets and listen to Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, or whoever you choose. Allow their words and beliefs to transform you into a better leader.
4. Mastermind with other leaders
For us in the network marketing/direct sales industry this means getting on all the conference calls that our respective companies have. It’s not feasable to always have events so this is the best way. Look at it as you are a part of a mastermind group. You can learn from those that are where you want to be.
5. Position myself at the top (Cultivating the expectation of leadership)
Depending on the company you are with there may be different levels that you can join at. As a leader you want to set the culture on your team to always play from the top. If you don’t have the money to get at the top then work your butt off finding ways to get it or to climb your way through the ranks. Leaders understand that those that typically get in the MLM business at a lower position will not take the business seriously. Always fight to get to the top no matter what.
In order for this to work properly you have to do all five every single day. Now to see what I consider the biggest network marketing tip of all go here.
