Are you sick and tired of everyone calling…..or even worse…..posting in your social pages…..with rude, dumb, boring appraoches about garbage deals?

something like this?

This is the BIGGEST thing since XXXXXXXX

Don’t Miss the pre-pre-pre Launch….

Millions Will be Made by those who get in early….

Over 1000 years experience on management team, exclusive, double patented, triple trade-marked unique product…….so secret no one knows what it is or what it does……

The owner has built SEVERAL BILLION Dollar Business……

And on and on and on……..zzzzzzzzzzzzz

The stupidity is only exceeded by the astonishingly bad manners, lack of class and threats …….who the hell is ‘helping‘ these morons?

Normally it would be annoying but the content within the onslaught of posts and private messages via social media is so horrible that it’s something we can only feel indifferent about.

Had a gal, nice enough, contact me about one deal……

  • then another….
  • then a third that supports the first one…..
  • then invites to all three [webcasts]…..
  • then notes about all three and the sponsor…….
  • and how they had made MILLIONS…..[wink-wink]
  • then…..the next day……..9 more…..

emailed her back, asked off the list[s]……she did not know how to do that

  • She got snotty……told me to take myself off…..
  • I laid it out nicely…..she had put me on
  • She calms down
  • Offer her help….via note…..to a couple free skills….
  • She blasts 3 new deals plus the other 3 …..plus credentials of everyone upline in all the deals
  • I explain I have never asked….I see she’s got kids…..looks like she’s trying
  • She doesn’t know she is just building lists for others…..with all these junk deals…..
  • I am not stunned anymore at the [unintentional] BAD manners, lack of skills and poor judgement in both uplines and companies.

It occurs to me that people will join companies THIS MONTH like those on this list of Top 100 [Direct Selling Association]….or other SOLID up and comers and make lots of money……yes with Primeamerica, Avon, Tupperware, Xango, Nuskin etc…..and make multiple six figure incomes….because they ……get it….

They take people to the Top with them.  They understand what the requirements are……..

The main thing that we have to do is realize when we approach someone about our business we are going in through their dream chamber.

We are using their hopes, dreams, longings and desires……to motivate them…..to make a decision…..it’s a lot to risk….for them

……we are asking for trust, to trust we can give them the guidance to help them help themselves…..and improve their life.

And we simply owe it to people to know, not only that the company is solid…..but that we can teach them the skills help them take advantage of the opportunity…..

There are more good companies than the Top 100 listed here……but if they are not on this list we better make damn sure we do more than fall in love with an idea or read a website ….CHECK the companies you are considering out….with 3rd parties….NOT just what the company has to say about itself and NOT what reps who signed up think…….If they are not publicly traded, you better do your homework before investing money and the dreams of others…..

Once is it a ‘go’ …..we to do 2 more things…..

  1. Learn the skills necessary so we can teach them
  2. Bring people to the top with you

This nice gal from Facebook is zero for 3…..failure is mandatory…..she simply cannot bring anyone to the top with her so she’ll never get there until she changes…..

What do I mean by ‘bring them to the top’ with us?

Let’s face it, we need each other.  The line about it being “lonely at the top” is a crock , no one makes it to the top alone.

A ‘self-made’ woman or man knows less about biology than business and those types who think its all them…..are never much fun to be around and have very short, paranoid runs.

In most types of businesses there is a finite amount of profit available……and more for me means less for you…….or more for you means less for me……..so we may work for the same company BUT we are competing for our share of the finite amount…..our ‘piece of the pie.’

In networking, as you can see below, there are billions available and we create income by creating revenue, not fighting over a finite piece……sort of making more pies instead of trying to increase my piece at the expense of your piece…..

Once your team sees you score high,[ all TRUE] , on this test below, the group gets bigger faster.

TRUE OR FALSE

  1. My assessment of the company I represent is 3rd party verified….not some blog, but hard core BBB etc. verification
  2. I understand this is a skill based business.
  3. I teach skills hands on
  4. I know how many personally sponsored I am going to make millionaires
  5. My plans always include these people
  6. My actions demonstrate my desire to succeed with them
  7. They are aware of my desire to get to the top with them
  8. I know the dreams of the people I am bringing to the top, I don’t have to look them up.
  9. I focus on their dreams daily & work to build trust faster *
  10. I work on my manners daily, the sugar all are attracted to

* [We can accelerate the speed of trust, you can download that recording/MP3 and get it to your team]

SCORING

10 out of 10 ~ you are making BIG money

8 or 9 out of 10 ~ you are close and love the constant frustration you have to deal with about not quite being able to ‘bust it wide open’…..why do I say you love your frustration?  Why else would we deny it’s us and blame our team?  We don’t want to change …..the only reason we don’t change is we like it.   Focus on points 8 & 9.

Less than 8 true?  might as well be a zero, team has not jelled, people looking at dozens of deals…..they don’t know how much you care so the commitment and loyalty are not there to make great things happen.  Start with 8 & 9 first and work out from there….

So, how’d you do?

While impulsive and intuition are cool things from time to time, it’s not a good way to pick a company.

Here are the Top 100……we’re playing with people’s dreams…..make sure you do your homework.

There are lots of good companies on the rise to the Top 100…..most, like the nice lady with bad manners from Facebook, don’t have a chance and 5 minutes of research would have told her that…..the odd thing is with a little work she would have eliminated the bad deals, found a good company ……and ended up in an organization where she would have been taught proper etiquette, solid skill based approaches and learned how to bring people to the top with her instead of non-stop self promotion.

We can’t stop people from hurting themselves but we can improve ourselves……and isn’t that the best way to improve the team?

About the Author

  • Mark

    You hit a sore spot for most people, nobody has ever taken the time to help them learn the skills needed to become a professional in our industry.

    A lot of people feel it’s easier to throw up on most peoples blogs, Facebook pages, and all of the other places they can post their “great deal” that you NEED to join now or lose out.

    Great message Mark!!

  • Hi Mark,
    Thanks for your blogs…..they’re immensely informative…..and help to keep me on track! I wonder how many people actually scrolled down to see the top 100 companies you included.
    Sounds like you’re just loving all those bugs, heat and rough surf, LOL. …..I remember growing up in San Diego and being able to have bonfires on the beach…..now the rules (and crowds) have completely ruined the charm that used to be there….we’re not far behind here in Jax Beach, Fl.
    Hope you and Davine are all settled in….I know you’re both enjoying your dream. Take care, Lisa
