When I was growing up I just loved to watch the Flintstones. When I saw this ezine article from Larry Beacham CLICK HERE: I just had to share it with you.
People in the network marketing business must not allow themselves to follow stone age marketing techniques or they will be left out in the cold only to find themselves broke. When you spend your money on old marketing tools, like buying leads, cold calling, calling family and friends, you will find you are spending more than you are taking in. That is not good business sense. Read for yourself.
Look, this is the Information Age not the Stone Age! The techniques and approaches that were used in times past no longer hold their power and effectiveness in the eyes of today's consumer or prospect.
Network marketers everywhere are learning the hard way that cold calling strangers or pursuing their unqualified warm market (i.e. friends and family) DOES NOT WORK anymore. Yet, millions of network marketers are stuck in the past, using Fred Flintstone techniques to try and lure the George Jetson prospect.
Today's consumer has absolutely no patience for the classic network marketing sales pitch-period.
There must be an easier way to find more and better prospects - and there is. Today's most successful network marketers are using modern technology to BRING PROSPECTS TO THEM, rather than fishing for prospects over the phone, in public places, among their relatives or through purchased lead companies.
Take a look at the contrast between the "Fred Flintstone" and "George Jetson" network marketer:
FLINTSTONE: Uses things like a prospect list (aka "names list") and acts like an amateur telemarketer calling everyone they know in the hopes of locating a handful of people that have interest in their business JETSON: Uses emails, web sites, and blogs to ATTRACT a very targeted group of people who are drawn by an already established and cultivated interest in an opportunity - specifically a network marketing opportunity.
FLINTSTONE: Drives to various local "business opportunity meetings" and invites their unqualified prospects to sit for up to an hour or more listening to information about their company, product, and compensation plan, only to be disappointed later that they had little or no interest (i.e. rejection) JETSON: Hosts webinars or teleconferences that may be pre-recorded and hosted on a website for pre-INTERESTED (not pre-QUALIFIED) prospects to connect on their own terms 24 hours a day, thereby leveraging time and eliminating the sting of being rejected.
FLINTSTONE: Thinks like a sales rep - attempting to use compelling sales techniques or tries to "overcome objections" in order to get a prospect to sign up or buy their product. JETSON: Thinks like an independent consultant - provides value to the marketplace on the "front end" by giving their pre-interested prospects a high level of education-providing comfort, confidence and trust.
FLINTSTONE: Doesn't think in terms of long term relationship building with a prospect; wants to sell product or enroll them immediately and if it doesn't happen, that individual is mentally dismissed with no follow up strategy (i.e. the "Some will, Some won't, So what" or "NEXT!" philosophy) JETSON: Understands the power of selling through education and using automatic communications to continue the education beyond the initial contact, allowing the natural buying cycle of the individual to take its course, leading to a sale or enrollment in the future on the prospects' terms - not the network marketers'.
FLINTSTONE: Uses pseudo rapport building tactics to entice prospects to engage them with sole purpose of getting an appointment to pitch their opportunity or demonstrate their product. JETSON: Builds genuine rapport with their pre-interested prospects by writing articles, creating educational videos, blogging, etc., to position themselves as a trusted advisor and respected expert.
To be on the cutting edge, tap into the power of modern marketing to increase your downline, boost sales, and anchor credibility in the marketplace-without ever having to pursue friends and family, cold call strangers or buy leads again. Yabba-Dabba-Do!

Know The Causes of Cancer and Prevent Cancer
I am a firm believe of the bible, and I think if we paid more attention to the material presented in front of us, instead of being a sheep and think that we are above disease, we would all be alot healthier in this country.
Being healthy is alot of common sense. Keep the mycotoxin load down, get plenty of exercise, eat foods rich in antioxidants, practice relaxation, and I think we would all be considerably more healthy. Life is too short to be sick and tired all of the time. People use the excuse that they will die happy. How true is this? Who wants to suffer? There is so much to enjoy in a lifetime, why not enjoy it in good health?
My friend and mentor Doug Kaufmann presented a piece I would like to share with you.

Cause of Cancer
There has been a theory as to the main cause of cancer and how to prevent cancer that Dr. Otto H. Warbug won the Nobel Peace Prize for in 1931. There are many secondary causes for cancer. More than any other disease. This is why there is no simple cure for cancer today. But we have known the main cause and we know how to dramatically reduce our risks of cancer. There is one common thread to all cancers. Cancer is a deformed cell. It does not create energy the same way a non cancerous cell does.
“Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. But, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause. Summarized in a few words, the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar.” — Dr. Otto H. Warburg in Lecture
This means to us that lack of oxygen and excess refined sugar are the primary cause. Conversely when we get lots of oxygen and limit the refined sugar we consume we dramatically reduce the risk of cancer.
Interestingly, this is God’s plan. We were created eat of the fruit of the ground. In Genesis 1:29 God said, “I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” So we were given fruit, vegetables, whole grain, nuts and beans as a balanced healthy diet. There is no refined sugar in the diet that God gave us. There are no food additives or preservatives. If we eat organic fruit and vegetables we avoid pesticides, herbacides and other chemicals. This is the food God intended for us.
This is how we Prevent Cancer.
Today there are many studies on the anioxidant effects of certain fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans and herbs. Today we are studying what God said in the begining. Because we have to prove His Word. We have to scientifically know that what God said is true. So we are learning that cauliflower, broccoli, brussell sprouts, cabbage, tomatoes and even apples, blueberries, strawberries and many other fruit and vegetables with natural teas like green tea, oolong tea, and pu-er tea have vitamin, minerals and nutrients that fight and prevent cancer.
When we think of the world that God created we see he gave us plant life throughout the world and our work was to harvest our food. Effectively, we worked were we would get plenty of fresh oxygen and exercise. No pollution. No tall buildings with windows that could not open. Lots of plant life to filter the carbon dioxide and convert it to pure oxygen. In the world God created there was no refined foods or additives or preservatives that effect our health.
The true cause of cancer is we do not believe God and we do not do what he says. If we would simply focus on eating fresh fruit and raw vegetables as God said in the beginning as well as get fresh air and exercise cancer would not be an important disease. It would be rare as it was in the past. Unfortunately, the money motive has caused the world to overlook or even suppress truth and promote lies in the name of the shareholders. Just as there is planned obselesence refined sugar and sodium added most processed foods to have us crave foods that are not healthy and even cause diseases. This is similar to cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. We just gotta have that soda or piece of cake. We can not eat the food if it is not sweet enough or have enough salt and seasonings on it.
So we must have balance in our lives. We must eat a healthy diet focused fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains (not processed or enhanced), nuts and beans. We must limit meat, fish and poultry. Avoid soda and most commercially produced drinks. Drink plenty of water, fresh juice and natural teas. Get plenty of fresh air, sleep and regular physical exercise. We all know the formula to a healthy lifestyle.
As a baby boomer and someone with more years behind me than ahead of me I realize the importance of healthy food, believing God and doing what He says.
We know the truth. We can prevent cancer as with most diseases. What will you choose to do?

Secret Offline Lead Generator Strategy For the Savvy Network Marketer
We have discussed how to attract network marketers on the internet and what tools work to create traffic to your websites. In this day of the internet, everybody thinks that is the only way to do business. Did we ever stop to think, what we did before the internet? I came across an article written by Larry Beacham, that gave a great idea for attracting marketers to your business working offline. CLICK HERE:
I decided to dig down deep into my bag of tricks for getting leads for free and out popped one of my favorite strategies. It's a simple strategy, but rarely thought of, if at all, by most people. It's called The Library Drop-Off technique.
I learned this technique from my mentor and coach Cedrick Harris who is a master of creative marketing ideas. The competitive edge that you have on your competition is thinking outside the box and implementing strategies that escape the mind of most people. This is one of those techniques.
Here's how it works:
1. Purchase a few popular books (i.e. Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Secret, etc.) from a discount supplier or online used book store. A good way to choose your books is to look at the current New York Times Best Seller's list and choose from there. Capitalize on the popularity of these hot titles.
2. Go to the local office supply store and purchase a customized rubber stamp that says, "For Business Opportunities In The (Your City Here) Area, Contact (Your Name Here) At (Your Number Or Website Here)".
3. Stamp this information NO MORE than 4-5 times throughout the book. Once in the front, a couple of times in the middle, and once in the back.
4. Donate this book to the local library.
Talk about residual marketing! Now, you have advertising in the marketplace that will last forever and it only cost you a few dollars to purchase a few books and a rubber stamp. How many libraries are there in your city and surrounding suburbs? You will get contacted by very high quality people by utilizing this technique.
That's today's "secret" marketing tip. Go out and apply it today.

What Causes 99,000 Deaths and is Largely Preventable?
This is a scary thought. 99,000 deaths every year that are preventable: CLICK HERE:
CAUSES OF DEATH:
It is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the United States, responsible for an estimated 99,000 deaths per year. It is largely preventable and hits you when you’re down.
It is health care-associated infection. You get it when you go to the hospital for treatment, but end up with the added problem of a life-threatening infection.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, of these health care-associated infections (HAI),
32 percent are urinary tract infections
22 percent are surgical site infections
15 percent are pneumonia (lung infections)
14 percent are bloodstream infections
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO)
An infection is considered to be an HAI if it develops at a hospital or other patient care facility if the patient did not have it prior to treatment. It is a global crisis affecting both patients and health care workers. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at any given time, 1.4 million people are suffering from HAI, and the risk in developing countries is 2 - 20 times higher than in developed countries.
Such infections often lead to longer hospital stays, increase the likelihood of readmission, and add considerably to medical costs.
SWINE FLU (H1N1) PANDEMIC
The current swine flu (H1N1) pandemic and the increased incidence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), also referred to as a "super bug," are fueling public concern for how medical facilities will work to prevent HAI and how they will be held accountable.
We take it for granted that surgical teams will scrub up prior to surgery. But during the course of a hospital stay, we can quickly lose track of the number of health care workers, other hospital staff, and visitors in and out of our room. It is almost impossible for a patient to monitor. We must assume that the people entrusted with our care are washing their hands between patients and after touching materials that may spread infection. Sometimes we're assuming too much. Yet it is this simple act of hand washing -- something we take for granted -- that is the single most important thing we can do to cut down on the spread of HAI.
Hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities must take the steps necessary to educate ALL staff regarding HAI. It is not only a tremendous financial drain on our already overburdened facilities, it is a matter of life and death -- mostly preventable death. The following video, from The Department of Health and Human and Services, Centers for Disease Control, educates patients on simple steps they can take when in a hospital.V
The single most important thing you can do is always wash your hands, when coming home from being in the public.
People do not realize they need also to keep up their immune system. It is the single most important thing that you can do.

Are Networkers Really Using Outdated Tools to Attract Marketers?
Are you honestly telling me that there are neworkers out there still using outdated principles in attracting network marketers to their MLM Primary Business? Working diligently everyday and calling from a cold callers list that we pay alot of money for does not work. The myth that every no is closer to a yes, just does not ring true. If you are not attracting like minded individuals to your opportunity you will never bring in quality people into your organization. You have to brand yourself as a successful entrepreneur with exceptional knowledge on how to build your business and share your success with others. You must have a target market where people understand the particular business that you are in and people will get to know you as a professional, someone they can learn from and look up to.
I have a personal favorite Larry Beacham. He went from being a cable guy employee, to a successful entreprenur and I would like to share his wisdom with you. CLICK HERE:

For some strange reason that I don't understand, there are a lot of people that want to fight and resist the implementation of systems to generate business. The defenders of cold calling and pre-historic prospecting techniques do so because they're either afraid of change or not growing mentally.
If I want to travel from Columbus to Toledo, the choices that I have to get there are to walk, ride a bicycle, or roll in a vehicle. All of these transportation methods will work, but it is ridiculous to argue that walking 200+ miles is superior to riding a bike or riding in a vehicle for all the obvious reasons.
Prospecting and cold calling methods are "effective," but at what expense? Someone argued that it is vital to your business to pound the pavement or make cold calls to get success no matter what technology has to offer.
That's like saying that no matter how fast a car travels or how efficient it is, it is still necessary to walk some if not most of the way to Toledo. I'm laughing right now just thinking about that foolishness.
Here are 4 self-marketing strategies to consider that generate targeted leads nearly effortlessly:
EZINES/ARTICLE SUBMISSION: I submitted just 10 articles to a popular ezine website and here were the results - Article Views: 259; Conversions: 22; Time investment : 30 minutes. As a prospector/cold caller, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to get 259 people to listen to you by phone OR in person in 30 minutes, let alone have 22 of them have serious interest. Also, I didn't have to endure any hang ups or sadistic behaviors because I called or walked in at the wrong time. I endured no sales resistance or rejection. Finally, this is a RESIDUAL strategy that keeps pulling interested leads month after month on its own without my involvement. Oh yeah, I almost forgot - it's free.
VIDEO MARKETING
Here are some stats from my YouTube.com Channel - Videos Uploaded: 43; Video views: 1,703; Subscribers: 92; Time investment: 3-5 hours (one time). The ONLY people who view my videos are those INTERESTED in my content. 92 subscribers says that these individuals have CHOSEN to receive my latest content on a regular basis. Just like article writing, no sales resistance, no rejection. This also is a RESIDUAL strategy that keeps on pulling leads month in and month out on a ONE TIME EFFORT. Did I mention this is free?
BLOGGING: A good friend of mine named Tracey has a blog site that gets 9000 visitors per month and she is an absolute "nobody." She had acquired nearly 300 clients just from this one strategy! No one ever visits that's not interested; no one is ever called that doesn't have interest. No rejection, no waste of time, effort or money here. Not one red cent spent on this strategy and it is also a RESIDUAL marketing strategy. Accept for uploading new content, this is self managed.
WEBINARS/TELESEMINARS: Last Tuesday, I implemented another webinar strategy into my fold which I host once a week for 30 minutes. Here are the results so far - Webinar attendees: 43; Conversions: 4. So, I'm hovering right around a 10% conversion on a total of 1 hour of effort so far (I've had 2 webinars). The funny thing is, only those interested show up! My financial investment? -0- Dollars, -0- cents. No cold calling or prospecting done to get attendees.
This is just a sample of what's possible when you self-market correctly.
I know that old habits die hard, but seriously, stop "walking" everywhere to get to your "destination." Jump into the vehicle known as self-marketing and retire your walking shoes.

Weight-Loss Rules to Rethink
The holiday season is quickly upon us, all the holiday parties, and festivities that make this season so special. Has anyone thought about losing extra lbs. so after the holiday season is behind us, we are not agonizing over how much weight we gained? Every year millions of Americans think about another New Year's resolution, "I want to lose weight this year," but how many people jump off the wagon by Valentine's Day?
I know I have finally looked at my weight loss situation, and finally got the hang of it, and my New Year's resolution will not be to lose weight this year. At the end of this blog I will show you products that have made a huge difference in my life. I lost 26 lbs with this product and I know you can too.

Let’s see now. Are carbs the source of all dietary evil - or is it fat? Is dairy supposed to be good for weight loss these days, or bad? Is protein’s day in the sun over, or just beginning? And should you be eating and exercising according to your blood type or your Ayurvedic dosha, or just strictly counting calories?
If you feel confused or clueless, it’s no wonder. Every season brings a new weight-loss trend. Infomercials on diet supplements and exercise gadgets promise to help shed unwanted pounds, and we’re bombarded daily with diet and exercise tips - from folk wisdom to the latest medical research - which often seem contradictory or incomplete. With so much weight-loss advice to wade through, many folks simply throw up their hands in despair and decide that they might as well sit on the couch and eat whatever they like.
No surprise, then, that we just keep getting fatter: Nearly 65 percent of Americans are either overweight or obese. And the more obese our nation becomes, the greater our collective risk for many deadly and costly diseases, including type two diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and breast, colon and prostate cancers - to name just a few.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that we are not powerless. We needn’t let our lack of knowledge about nutrition and fitness prevail over our common sense and our desire to live healthy, happy lives. We do, however, need to rethink what we think we know about dropping pounds and keeping them off.
For starters, we can forget about finding instant fixes and miracle cures for what are essentially pathological lifestyle habits. “We must stop falling for the myths that keep us fat and perpetuate an endless cycle of weight loss and gain,” says Mark Hyman, MD, former long-time co-medical director at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, and current editor in chief of the journal Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.
As much as we all might like the idea of a “magic bullet,” most experts agree with Hyman that healthy, sustainable weight loss doesn’t come from extreme measures or single-faceted diets. Nor does it come from relying on heavily marketed low-fat or low-carb foods and diet drinks (which, in fact, have been shown to hinder weight-loss efforts by messing up metabolism, contributing to cravings and undermining energy levels).
If you really want to lose excess weight and keep it off (or if you just want to maintain your current weight and stay healthy for the long haul), start by putting aside any worries about your love handles or saddlebags. Instead, start focusing on the space between your ears. Any weight-loss misconceptions or misinformation harbored there could present a real danger to your weight-management success.
How To Be A Successful Online MLM Distributor (And Be YOURSELF, Too
Honestly, this man David Woods is someone to be admired. He actually made $18,513.00 in just three (3) days using this technique, article marketing. How can you not be awestruck just looking at that number? This is of course not a quick get rich scheme you see all over the internet. I would like to share his wisdom and how he actually did it. CLICK HERE:
Quite frankly, there are a lot of positives and negatives to building MLM organizations online, and many people don’t understand what it really takes to prosper in a company using technology to market themselves.
I got started in the MLM profession 7 years ago and I went through five years of painful business building experiences because I was taught how to do things that didn’t jive with my personality. Basically, I was told repeatedly to build lists of my friends, family and associates, but the problem was that I’m just not that social of a person. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to have fun and be with friends (and I do enjoy talking on the phone), but my relative group of friends has always been small.
So how does a person who enjoys alone time and doesn’t like hanging out in shopping malls and business networking events build a massive downline by using warm market lists? Well, they either change their personality or they just don’t do it, that’s how. It just so happens that I like myself… (Should I change my whole personality just to build a business?)
…So after 5 years, I actually figured this warm market thing out and built a massively successful group, but it just wasn’t me. Personally, flying all around the world doing meetings five nights a week just isn’t my definition of abundance, and that’s not what I wanted to create. So I needed a different way where I could still sponsor massive amounts of distributors without changing who I was.
People would always say ‘be duplicatable’ but you know what? I didn’t have ANY success until I decided that was complete crap and started doing things my own way. In fact, I’m so positive about MLM duplication being full of poo that I made this killer YouTube video explaining why:
That’s where learning how to run online MLM marketing campaigns comes in. Rather than building a list of friends and family, you can leverage yourself through creating a tidal wave of social interactions that happen automatically, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. For example, last month I had more than 30,000 visitors to my websites. I don’t think there’s any way that I could create that kind of exposure offline without paying an arm and a leg for traffic, and I certainly couldn’t do it by wandering around in Safeway…
So how do you enter the online world of MLM and become successful? It’s simple. All you’ve got to do is learn how to provide legitimate, lasting value to as many people as possible, and people will be attracted to working with you automatically, (you’ve just got to learn how to create massive exposure, and everything else is easy).
It’s as simple as that. For myself, I learned that I had gained an incredible amount of knowledge during my time offline building my business that translated into solutions to problems people were having online, so I took that knowledge and I conveyed it by writing articles, making videos, and sending empowering emails to people who subscribed to my list. Within two months, my phone was ringing off the hook all day and night with people who wanted to work with me. (I thought this was much cooler than hotel meeting…)
So ask yourself the question: What value can you provide that will set you apart? What are your strengths? Are you analytical? Do you know how to manage your time extraordinarily well? Do you know how to do powerful presentations or are you better at writing? How can you market your business and ENJOY yourself, too?
Knowing who you are is half the battle. Find your strengths and make a plan to expose the online world to the power of YOU, and you’ll go in the right direction, and get there faster than you can imagine.
If you feel like you don’t have any value to provide, you just haven’t yet discovered your strengths, that’s all.
I have a special gift for you from a friend of mine, Mark Yarnell that I’m going to post up on my blog over the next couple of days. If you don’t know Mark, he’s earned more than $30,000,000 in the MLM profession over the last 20 years and he’s written several bestselling books. Mark’s going to come on my blog as a special guest and reveal what it ACTUALLY takes to build a massive MLM business, and the best part?
It doesn’t matter at all what your personality is. What matters is that you have a clear vision, that you’re willing to work, and that you have a MENTOR who can guide you with your strengths to reach the heights of success that you’ve always dreamed of. Now don’t get me wrong, you can’t be a wimp about life and succeed online in your MLM at the same time. MLM is not going to work for people who are lazy and afraid to take massive action.
However, marketing my MLM business online has truly been a blessing, and it has been a revolution in the way that I operate. I’ve been sponsoring 2-4 people every day into my company, with less effort than I’ve ever exerted to sponsor 2-4 people in a week… (and I’m just getting started). The simple fact is that online marketing isn’t just a good way to market my business, it’s the BEST possible way for ME.
However, we need to remember that this style of marketing isn’t for everyone. Some people will do dramatically better by sticking to traditional approaches, and some people just can’t stand technology. FIND YOUR STRENGTHS and build your business in a way that is attractive and FUN for YOU. I know that that flies in the face of the whole ‘be duplicatable’ philosophy, but have you EVER met an MLM leader that was living the lifestyle you’ve always wanted that was actually a duplicatable person? I never have, and I probably know a lot more MLM leaders than most of you.
ALL of them found a way to sponsor LOTS of distributors and ALL of them did it differently. Funny enough, 90% of them preach ‘be duplicatable and you’ll make it’. (But haven’t you tried that already?)
Those are the thoughts for today my friends, have a great day and we’ll talk again soon. Look out for my exclusive interview with Mark (this is just awesome). If you want to learn how I sponsor people with zero resistance, rejection, without talking to stupid cold leads all day, maybe online marketing will work well for your MLM, too.

For myself, I learned that I had gained an incredible amount of knowledge during my time offline building my business that translated into solutions to problems people were having online, so I took that knowledge and I conveyed it by writing articles, making videos, and sending empowering emails to people who subscribed to my list. Within two months, my phone was ringing off the hook all day and night with people who wanted to work with me. (I thought this was much cooler than hotel meeting…)
So ask yourself the question: What value can you provide that will set you apart? What are your strengths? Are you analytical? Do you know how to manage your time extraordinarily well? Do you know how to do powerful presentations or are you better at writing? How can you market your business and ENJOY yourself, too?
Knowing who you are is half the battle. Find your strengths and make a plan to expose the online world to the power of YOU, and you’ll go in the right direction, and get there faster than you can imagine.
If you feel like you don’t have any value to provide, you just haven’t yet discovered your strengths, that’s all.
I have a special gift for you from a friend of mine, Mark Yarnell that I’m going to post up on my blog over the next couple of days. If you don’t know Mark, he’s earned more than $30,000,000 in the MLM profession over the last 20 years and he’s written several bestselling books. Mark’s going to come on my blog as a special guest and reveal what it ACTUALLY takes to build a massive MLM business, and the best part?
It doesn’t matter at all what your personality is. What matters is that you have a clear vision, that you’re willing to work, and that you have a MENTOR who can guide you with your strengths to reach the heights of success that you’ve always dreamed of. Now don’t get me wrong, you can’t be a wimp about life and succeed online in your MLM at the same time. MLM is not going to work for people who are lazy and afraid to take massive action.
However, marketing my MLM business online has truly been a blessing, and it has been a revolution in the way that I operate. I’ve been sponsoring 2-4 people every day into my company, with less effort than I’ve ever exerted to sponsor 2-4 people in a week… (and I’m just getting started). The simple fact is that online marketing isn’t just a good way to market my business, it’s the BEST possible way for ME.
However, we need to remember that this style of marketing isn’t for everyone. Some people will do dramatically better by sticking to traditional approaches, and some people just can’t stand technology. FIND YOUR STRENGTHS and build your business in a way that is attractive and FUN for YOU. I know that that flies in the face of the whole ‘be duplicatable’ philosophy, but have you EVER met an MLM leader that was living the lifestyle you’ve always wanted that was actually a duplicatable person? I never have, and I probably know a lot more MLM leaders than most of you.
ALL of them found a way to sponsor LOTS of distributors and ALL of them did it differently. Funny enough, 90% of them preach ‘be duplicatable and you’ll make it’. (But haven’t you tried that already?)
Those are the thoughts for today my friends, have a great day and we’ll talk again soon. Look out for my exclusive interview with Mark (this is just awesome). If you want to learn how I sponsor people with zero resistance, rejection, without talking to stupid cold leads all day, maybe online marketing will work well for your MLM, too.
