Stop Being An Amateur & Start Being A Professional


Poor networkers are amateurs and wealthy networkers are professionals!

Are YOU a professional or an amateur?

Keep reading and find out.....

1) A professional is someone who gets paid. An amateur is someone who doesn't.

Many people in this industry are really busy browsing the internet, holding mastermind meetings, training, visiting with the competition, emailing associates, watching American Idol, listening to their ipods, or just sitting around in a daze staring at their call display screen. Unfortunately, that's what the amateurs are doing and that's why they don't get paid.

If you want to start making a pile of money in this industry, just focus on recruiting and retailing (marketing - more on that if future articles) to prospective customers. So, in other words...JUST GO PRO!

2) Professional (wealthy) networkers are proud of the MLM industry. Amateur (poor) networkers are embarrassed to be in MLM.

That's crazy!

The network marketing (MLM) industry is the ONLY ethical, decent industry left for value-based humans who prefer to become wealthy by elevating others to their highest potential!

How would you like to be a lawyer and spend your life engaged in the orderly tranfer of wealth from those who earned it to those who didn't, or helping people literally get away with murder. Or how about a banker who loans money at interest which, in most Christian denominations, is defined as the venial sin "usury" and punishable by eternal damnation.

Folks, network marketing is a win/win, not a win/lose. Be proud of your profession. I'd rather jump of a bridge than do anything less admirable than MLM.

3) Professional networkers know business and marketing is a numbers game. Amatuers think there is some trick or secret they will discover that will make it easy for them to have success, so they don't have to work hard.

Here's my professional formula for working the numbers...

A) Prospect 25 people a day five days a week that you send to your "funded proposal". Never try and present your MLM company first to "opportunity seekers" (leads)!

B) Follow-up with only the prospects that purchase the funded proposal.

C) When the prospects that you followed up become involved with the network marketing opportunity you are marketing, get them plugged into your teams training system (this starts creating the duplication). My teams training system is called Fast Track.

If you follow the above formula for one full year...POOF!!! You're at $20,000 to $30,000 a month in virtually any company out there. Those numbers don't vary and I've seen dozens of people succeed by sheer effort and tenacity once they learned this simple secret. It's all a numbers game.

I'll get much more specific about this in future articles.
