How MLMers Can Use Failure To Succeed

Excelent Mark,I always felt I am missing something, now I understand – Was running for a new person all the time. It is the same as giving a child a bicycle and not teaching him/her how to ride it. It is all about building confidence to get the new person abled in teaching another person. Blessings

As usual, right on Mark. I’m sending this to my upline. I hope it make a difference for them.

yes, I agree , I will redoable ny efforts to help people that are already in my org.

and pass on anuthing I learn faster

It all makes sense. When working for Combined, we use to have “Career Development Interviews” and it is spot on. Find out what they want , what they will do to succeed . What they will do and what you will do for them to make it happen. When you do that effectively,your person will have pride of accomplishment , will earn money and you will have much less turn over. More people will be promoted and have a chance to succeed.
Thanks for all you do,
Bob

I want to vomit when I hear these platitudes mindlessly repeated in our profession, as if principles that apply in all others do not apply in ours. Is it cheaper to retain or obtain an new customer? Is it easier to retain or hire a new employee? If magic systems and leads buying were a part of traditional business, I suspect we’d hear the same crap there, too..this is a refreshing perspective and the responsible one, too.

Great inf. I will share this with my TEAM

Thanks Mark,
I think networking is such a simple business, however, it’s been complicated by so many different trainer’s, opinion’s, hype etc. Thanks for always keeping it simple, as keeping it simple gets results.
Blessings.

Hey Mark,

Thanks so much for opening my eyes and looking at my business in a whole new light. I did nothing for 1 1/2 years because all I heard was the same thing over and over and over again. Obviously it didn’t work. I loved this video and can finally move forward. So much so that I had 3-10MC and 1 sign up so fast I couldn’t even finish my presentation.

Thanks is not enough!

I get it. I have heard you say this before, however for some reason, I feel as if today I now understand. I will go back to my team, schedule time to meet with each and every one of them and let them know that I have made this discovery. This business is about skills and I will help them learn those skills hands on. I will also find out what they originally wanted from this business.

Mark thanks again for you and the fabulous Davene’s mentorship.

Nobody is ‘dead’ until they stop breathing, their heart will not restart and they have flat lined beyond any legal requirement.

There are two issues here. One is the gestation period each person requires to ‘get it’ and to operate on their own successfully. You won’t know their gestation period until AFTER you sponsor them. Second is the gestation period as defined by the company you are with. The vast majority of MLM programs are nothing but head hunting machines. Anyone who doesn’t ‘get the opportunity’ within a very short period of time is flushed, ‘killed’ by that system. They did not die, the MLM company defined them as gone. I have numerous people who have joined, participated at their best level and disappeared, only to reappear five, six, ten months later [or longer] and are ready to go back to work. In most programs the all too short a time you are allowed to be ‘inactive’ is followed by you lose and must start over. YUK. Most of the problems with MLM are actually at the level of agreement you signed with the company. AND most people never read it until after they are offered the door. BYE….When the programs are set up to allow anyone to succeed on THEIR terms, not the company’s this industry will make a huge leap forward.

Perhaps if people actually understood the legal contract they signed to join they would be better able to sponsor someone with the truth instead of their hopes and opinions about it. The turnover rate at most companies is by THE COMPANIES design. A program designed for 100% retention looks much different that one designed for 5% retention. Almost all MLM companies barely have 5% retention long term. This industry has a design flaw and until enough people support changing it, failure will continue at the vast majority of so called legit MLM companies.

AMAZING! So on point. I never felt comfortable trying to recruit. People would just say they wanted to join. I’ve become stagnant and this shows why. Thank you.

Mark this makes all of the sense in the world. I recently had a partner come to life after two years. This gives helps me understand why such a large percentage fall asleep and provides a solution Thanks!

Thank you so much! As always–well said and timing was perfect. I shared the video with our group this morning. You would have loved hearing their resounding “yes!” . Many of them can’t wait for your next go90grow session to open!!

Mark,

I’m glad I came across you. What you teach makes so much sense and is true! Though I’m with my third company and have not been successful in any, now I know why thanks to you! I’ve always believed in MLM but was taught all the wrong things. I plan to redo my company’s training and take your free training. Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping it real.

P.S. What can I do if I have no up-line or my up-line does not teach your principles? Thanks!

Thank you!

Mark,

Again, you are my hero…. as usual, you hit a major nail right on the head.
THANKS !!

As always right on point Mark! This has been the biggest struggle in my MLM business. I am revisiting the skills you offer so that I can do this business the right way.

Thank you Mark, for confirming what I believe is essential in our business. If in an ordinary company people were not trained, they would not feel confident to do the job well. I keep hearing in my business, unless someone keeps contacting me, then don’t bother with them as they are not interested. If I bring someone into my team I want to support them to achieve what they came in for, so it is up to me to support their success, unless they say they don’t want it anymore. Thank you for your inspiration. With these values I want to do the business even more.

I love all your videos. This one makes so much sense. I will contact the ones who are sleeping and get them awake with your message. Thanks for all you do!

Good training Mark, its like to no principle because they don’t understand the skills to give them the success they want. Also people think of the worst that they have heard from people who think they know. Thanks.

Bulls-eye! You hit this one dead center Mark! Thank you soo much!

Very good presentation Mark on the 80/20 rule. Working straight commission sales for most of my life and being in the 20% most of the time, I witnessed it firsthand. Poor training, unable to motivate, lack of support will hurt your MLM Business more than anything else just like it did in the brick and mortar operations. Your mention of finding out what your people want and working with them to succeed is the best and probably only to motivate most people.

Your lessons are such eyeopeners… I have gone through your posts over and over again in the last 2 years, until today it has become part of my thinking and vocabulary… I cannot thank you and Tom Schreiter enough in my endeavor to succeed in this amazing industry…I am in India…will be shortly promoting Cell Reset from Germany. Thank you so much Mark

Thank you Mark; this really makes sense and I recognize that I have a lot of “dead” people to talk to. I want to participate in Go90Grow now that I’ve completed the Master Keys. I need to review the skills; there’s a lot of information there! I’ve just got to devote some time every day to the videos. I know I can do it; I learned a lot about myself in MMMKA.

As always Mark, you’ve made a great Video. The point is very clear, honest and transparent.
Thank you Mark.

Hi Mark,

In Nora’s comment above on April 17th at 10:31am, she used a term that I’m not familiar with. “So much so that I had 3-10MC and 1 sign up so fast I couldn’t even finish my presentation.”

What the heck is 3-10MC?

Thanks,

Alan

Mark,

Great stuff as always. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I agree that we have to get back to the basics in MLM. Being the responsible leader and teaching the skills hands on with our business partners. I’ll definitley be sure to share this with my team. I Look forward to your videos. Thank you for making them available for us.

Thank You Mark,

For your kind remards and receiving my comment. Question may I use this video to share with others?

Outstanding Mark! Thanks for providing this. I am going to continue to pass along to the team!

AWSOME

I am still amazed at all the various teachings and philosophies out there for MLM distributors. A couple of months ago, I got onto a webinar of “how to recruit 20 in 30 days” – basically a 90-minute commercial for that system. It might work for some people, but most people see that trying to recruit 20 in a month would be too much work – I’m one of those “most people”. It would be much easier to do what you teach, Mark, in Go90Grow: to use the skills to “build teams that can build teams without you”. Just keep in mind the parable of doubling a penny every day for 30 days – you’ll be a millionaire when that month ends, as opposed to adding a penny for 30 days, which will only yield you 30 cents. (And that wouldn’t make much sense, would it?)

Love these ideas.
the old idea of through them against the wall and see if they stick is out dated. it’s no longer sponsor and run it’s build relationships then when we fail there is someone there to say what do you think happened and dhow can I help, or let’s try this instead.

Keep up the great work and support of the industry Mark.

Appreciating you,
Billy Mitchell

Mark, I heard you tell about having business cards printed up, but not using the usual format.
Can you share the wording you used.

Thanks
