Top Mlm to join in 2016?

Network marketing is called so many things that it’s even hard for me to title this next part of the article!

Now that you got to see some “research” on the mlms for the 2016 rating, here is an elaborate and elegant (really?) report about Network Marketing and some mlm tips on how to earn extra money through a spiffy superior model of at home money making marketing.

Network Marketing Brief

Anyone you talk to about  Network Marketing (who actually know anything about it) will give you different answers.  So many people have joined mlms and have different experiences that the answer you get when you question about network marketing may very well vary from day to day and place to place.

You will never really be able to know what network marketing is from one source.

There are just too many different opinions out there.

Some will curse it.

Some will praise it.

You?

You’re going to have to experience it or something if you must form an opinion on it.

Those are just the facty facts.

If you found yourself in the company of someone who joined a company (like ipas2) and worked hard at this network marketing business, learned how to earn extra money, became a pro, stay consistent for year, built and built and worked until they were hugely successful –Then you may hear this:

“The Network Marketing outlook for 2016 and beyond is the most lucrative work at home opportunity you can give yourself!  Join me! Join me now and you can make extra income or job salary replacing income now!”

But, if you were to talk to someone who has been in a mlm or other network marketing company (say Jeunesse Global) and they just joined or they didn’t really put forth much effort (or at least the effort it takes to be successful…this kind of work ethic seems to be more rare these days) and they were just looking for a get rich quick type of opportunity–Then you will likely hear this:

“Network Marketing?  Mlms?  Are you kidding?  Do you want to be poor?  You’ll just end up helping your sponsors grow deeper pockets!  They are pyramid schemes!  Are you listening? Mlms and Jeunesse …definitely a pyramid scheme!”

So how do you decide a legitimate work at home opportunity to earn that extra income you are after?

You’re going to have to educate yourself.

What are MLMs? What is Network Marketing?

From Wikipedia.com -“Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participant’s “downline”, and can provide multiple levels of compensation.Other terms used for MLM include pyramid selling, network marketing and referral marketing.^[9] According to the US FTC, some MLM companies constitute illegal pyramid schemes which exploit members of the organization”

And if you check out Dictionary.com you get this:

Network Marketing is “a marketing strategy in which sales representatives of a company recruit other salespeople and earn commissions on their own sales and on the sales made by their team:

But just in case you are still confused, here’s a simple scenario to help you “get it”

Once upon a time you had a job.

You got sick and tired of that job.

You had to work hours for what seemed like nothing in pay.

You had to go in when “they” told you so.

You wanted to get rich.

You saw nowhere that could happen in your current job.

Somehow you got some sense knocked into you and you realized that if you want to get rich, you’re going to have to work for yourself and start your own business to become a millionaire.

You, being so savy and wise, also realized that there were so many benefits to working for yourself:

• Choose where and with who you work.
• The Flexibility allows you to choose what times to work!
• Financial Freedom – You get to choose if you want to work to make more money (and it happens) or take a break and still make money. (It also happens)
• Domination – You realize if you really hone in on your talents and pursue your business that you will earn more than just extra income, you will have a full fledged profitable at home business on your hands and show your family what financial freedom looks like.
• Savings – Business expenses can be deducted and you get to save when tax time rolls around.

So…having your own business and mlms (network marketing) is a very attractive and enticing road to take.

The Benefits of Joining a Top MLM in 2016 (or before).

Starting a traditional business comes with huge overhead costs.  You take on a lot of financial risks when starting a new business and you are generally going to have to worry about building costs, office space, and more.

One of the huge benefits of joining a mlm (network marketing company) is that you will go into business with a lot of other like minded individuals who can act as your support team. You will go in to a new adventure with others who are doing something very similar and with the same product.

Generally, in the traditional business building, you are geographically isolated with your product and don’t have a huge support system to encourage you to continue on.

In mlms, it is like opening a door of a support team of like minded professionals that can help you stay the course.

When you join a network marketing company, you will generally make a lot of friends online and in person.

In addition, you won’t have to worry about the overhead needed to start up a brick and mortar business and all of the maintenance involved.

Most mlms cost about $20 to over $3,000 to join. There is so much variety in the joining fees that you can easily find a mlm that fits within your beginning budgets and not have to start out “in the red”.

Most mlms will have you sign up with this small investment and complete a distributor agreement.  Some are simple, while others are more complex. Some will state you can not join any other opportunities once you reach a certain ranking in their mlm company too. (Beachbody does this)

The mlm documentation clearly will state that you are NOT an employee and therefore, my advice to you, is to make sure you understand this because in order to be successful you may have to act like your life depends on it.

If the mlm company is your only source of income, then your life does depend on your success in network marketing.

You basically become a brand ambassador for the company for free (sort of) and you agree to represent the company to the best of your abilities. In return, you can be offered some handsome compensations.

After that…..

Once you get your mlm business up and running, you’ll start to get a trickle of commissions IF you are ranked and in a position to receive them. (It depends on the many different compensation plans and where you are in them so read carefully before joining so you know what to expect)  If you join the Beachbody opportunity, don’t expect anything from any sales right away unless you get two people to join you as a coach.

Once you start to build a good downline and develop your own team, you will slowly start to build more and more income.   You will also make money or a certain % off of their sales too.

If you want to have a successful network marketing business, you need to sell items for your personal volume AND teach your downline (see mlm glossary) how to sell and get enrollees to join the opportunity too.

How is Network Marketing compared to buying a franchise?

Network Marketing is almost like a franchise business.

In the ‘real world’, you can buy a franchise of Subway (like a guy I know) or TapSnap.

When you do this, you put in thousands to build a building but you are paying in so that you can benefit from the company name.

The franchise is likely already well known and they run ads nationally that will help your business thrive without a lot of extra money put into it (besides the start up costs).

If you, the head of the mlm business, decide to branch out to other opportunities, you would be buying the name but you pay for the company perks and associations.

You are offered a huge leverage because of the association with a globally recognized name. If you are in network marketing, you get to not only earn what your company makes, but also (once big enough) you usually get to earn what the entire company earns.  You get shares and that is HUGE!

Network Marketing allows you to make cash off of those that you “network” with and whom choose to join you.

For example: If you make $300 in commissions from selling your product, and it takes 5 days to get that sale, you can determine what your value in time is worth. In this scenario…not much.

If you get to a point where you are getting sales every 4 days, 2 days or every hour, your hourly rate goes up almost exponentially.

If you “rinse and repeat” what you did to get to a sale, you can potentially make well over thousands of dollars a month, week and some people per day.

As time passes, you slowly recruit others that want to earn extra income from home and they also have the same opportunities to earn money with their efforts. You teach them your ways, they do well and you get a percentage of their sale.

The more that join under you and make money, the more you make.

MLM businesses take time, but once going, you can make a very handsome income.

You steadily increase in income as long as you continue to work on building your organization and recruiting others to join.

It’s a pretty sweet deal because there is just so much money making potential in the network marketing business model that allows you so much leverage.

Too Good to Be True?  The Truth of Network Marketing…

Sadly, no matter how hard you can envision the potential and sometimes no matter how hard you work, you may never reach the golden coins at the end of the rainbow from the scenario listed above.

Why?

People quit network marketing.

Point blank.

It’s like starting a business, waiting for the first branch to grow a little, hanging out on it and then cutting it off.

That’s what people do.

They have the opportunity to stay connected and to grow, but they give up.

Meanwhile, the rest of the tree around you continues to grow and you lay dazed wondering what happened.

Network Marketing Millionaires are all around you. They’ve been created. They are real (check out these network marketing millionaire videos)

People are not patient and many lack the skills that help them maintain any type of leverage or gain any ground in the network marketing game.

It’s not because they don’t want success though.

It’s because they lack solid network marketing business skills and sales skills.

They lack the tools needed and they have no guidance.

If you are not innately good at sales, then you need some training before you join a Network Marketing company.

All you need is the ability to learn (like in college or high school).

Network Marketing, no matter how you dress it, is a form of direct selling and in order to make money with network marketing , you HAVE to makes sales. Even getting people in your downline requires sales.

No Sales = NADA CASH

Are you still thinking of joining a mlm company after all these mlm reviews?

If so, remember you need to join one that will keep you going. You have to use and enjoy their products AND the people within the mlm opportunity that you are joining.

You have to be willing to really push yourself to acquire the wealth you desire.

Once you join the network marketing business, BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT!  Push yourself to model the best in your company upline and commit to learning the skills that will propel you forward.

Network Marketing in a Nutshell:

Let’s just clarify one more time:

• Network Marketing opportunities are real work at home ways to earn extra income in a professional manner.

• Network Marketing, when done skillfully, can lead you to financial freedom.

• Multilevel Marketing (mlm and aka network marketing) requires that you build your online and leadership skills.

• Network Marketing is a lifechanger and you may be surprised at the lifelong friendships and happiness you obtain.

• Network Marketing makes millionaires. This has happened numerous times again and again.

How to Succeed in Direct Sales and Multilevel Marketing

In order to be successful in a mlm or the direct sales industry, you need to understand how they are closely related to one another.  Both types of companies (mlm and direct sales) have so much in common that they are practically synonymous of one another.

The majority of direct selling companies out there actually are using multilevel marketing techniques and compensation structures to sell their product. As a matter of a fact, a lot of established companies who were not formally using mlm tactics are now considering it.  On the exact other side of thing, multi level marketing companies use direct sales as one of their main ways to acquire new distributors and sell their product.

In this extremely elaborate blog posting about mlms, I’m going to offer you some super tips so you can be successful in your direct sales OR your mlm.

So many people fail mlms because they just don’t know what to do and on top of that, many are not willing to jog that extra mile that it takes to develop new skills required to be successful or they are not willing to go “all in” (I heard this a lot for ipas2 and empower network) and make a true commitment to the opportunity.

You will be Succesful if you Bust some BUTT!

Multilevel marketing AND direct sales lose so many people and have high failure rates. Nearly 75% or more of people that try mlms or direct sales take the unimaginable plummet to Empty Pocketville each year.

Those that fail often times lack the same traits that the millionaire have: Perseverance and Unwavering commitment to success accompanied by a spastic and untouchable work ethic.

If you work hard and you make some money, you can work harder and make more money. That’s just how it is in almost all sales opportunities out there and direct sales and multi level marketing is NO EXCEPTION.

So if you want to be successful in mlm or direct sales, you must TAKE it seriously 100% of the time.  You must work at it full stop even more so than you would if you were working for a boss. You will have to work harder than you may have ever worked in your life if you want that huge success.

Working over 40 hours a week is an understatement.  Expect to double or triple it.  Work. Work. Work. Because that’s what it’s going to take.

There is no way around it.

In the beginning you have to bust some booty.

Learn how to Close a Sale

Aside from telling you to listen to Grant Cardon on Audible, you need to learn how to close a sale and you need to practice the perfect pitch as soon as yesterday!

Many people take too much time to talk about the product and not enough time on closing the sale.

Closing can be learned and is an art form to say the least.

Here are some great closing statements to get you started:

“Which do you prefer: empty or full pocket?”

“I can get you this product by tomorrow – or would you like to take it on Sunday instead?”

“Great! Sign here.”

“I’m giving you a “free item” for buying today. Sign here.”

“I know that your company will excel. I’d hate to go to your competition and see them sell more than you. Can we get this started today for you?”

“Will you buy from me today?”

“Is this a beneficial product for you?”

“How much would you be willing to invest to save your business?”

One of the biggest mistakes that people make in closing a sale is to not ask for the sale at all. Asking for the sale seems so simple but it is often missed. People let fear get in the way and stamper around until awkward pauses take over and the prospect is ready to shut the door in your face.   If you simply are brave enough to ask for the sale, you’ll be surprised at the yes’s that you get.  Of course, you will get nos, but it is way better to get a lot of NOs than it is to get nothing back at all.  Asking opens the opportunity for yes.  Don’t be afraid to try it out.

Sales Objections and What you Can Do about it.

So, we already clarified that not everyone will be jumping on your hippy happy bandwagon of pixy dusted dishes. (aka mlm product) So, what do you do when you get that NO?

You practice what you will say ahead of time!

People, unavoidably, will throw all sorts of sales objections at you to stall you, buy time or to not say no because OMG…isn’t that so horrible?  What they don’t know, is that you have an arsenal of questions and answers to come back at them for to see what the real issue is to their sales objection.

Don’t let a customer give you a sales objection without a fight to find out the real reason they are saying no, because you know your product will benefit them and it is your DUTY to HELP them get it.

Here are some nifty tips on how to handle those stubborn and annoying sales objections the you will undoubtedly hear when trying to sell your mlm opportunity or mlm product.

Sales Objection: “It Costs WAY too Much money.”

Responses: “Too much money compared to what? Help me understand.”, “Why do you say that?” “Is the price the only reason  you are saying no?”, “If price wasn’t an option, would you take it and use it?”, “Everyone says that, but once they buy it they…(fill in benefits)”, “How much is it costing your health to not get this right now?”, “How are things going without it right now? How could this improve your situation? Can you put a price on that?”

Objection: “I’ve already tried this and I just don’t think it will work”

Responses: “I understand and that is why I always offer a 100% guarantee that it will do this, this and this. If it doesn’t do that, then you get your money back.”, “Check out these testimonials from yesterday!”

Objection: “I don’t make fast decisions and need some time to think on it.”

Responses: “I can not guarantee this price will be available tommorrow” (Be prepared for a glare from some people), “No problem. What time is best to call you tomorrow?”, “The product may not be available tomorrow. I have them here for you right now.”, “I’d hate to see you lose this opportunity. I know it can help you like it has helped so many others. Check out “testimonials”.

Yackty Yack You Need to TALK BACK – Talk About your Business

Network Marketing, Direct Sales and mlms are built from the blood of recruiters. You will need to build your downline up by recruiting others to join your mlm business and make your way to network marketing success in no time.

Just approaching people with a cold call, cold facebook message or out of nowhere on the street will immediately turn off any chances you had.  You need to use attraction marketing and warm your prospects up.

People love when others are interested in them. Networking takes time. (To the tune of months and sometimes years).  Let people brew before you proposition them.

Build Trust.

Don’t be afraid to tell them of how you love the success you’ve found and you would love to share it.

Be Social.

Don’t be afraid to let people know who you are and what you do (and pass out those business cards or mention that super easy to remember website)

Don’t be annoying.

The quickest way to get rid of propects is to  bug them about what you are doing.  Let others ask how you are doing and just work it into the conversation.

Your friends and loved ones deserve for you to stay savvy and professional. You wouldn’t take a bunch of subs home if you worked at Subway and try to sell them to your whole house in one night to hit your sales quota and you shouldn’t do this with your network marketing opportunity.

Family and Friend should never be guilted into pursuing your mlm opportunity.

That’s just creepy and stupid to do.

MLMs can destroy friendships and relationships if you are dumb enough to let your novice skills do so.  (trust me…I know…not because I did it to someone but because someone did to me and now they are embarrassed to talk to me…and I don’t need to find an excuse to say no to their pressure so they just stay away. It’s so dumb…all because of a mlm and their lack of tact in selling it and keeping business as strictly business)

You should not worry about talking about your opportunity, but don’t be a walking sales pitch about it.

Let people ask you questions and you answer.

If you are constantly popping in keywords and taking advantage of silences by mentioning your network marketing opportunity, you will just be really annoying and people will shut down.

Rather then being a creepy mlm sales men, be a testimonial of the product. Eat, live and breathe the product and SHOW that it WORKS.

People will naturally start to ask questions when they see the successes that you present to them.

Fish Food and Goldfish

If you were a goldfish and a big juicy banana was floating at the top of your tank, would you eat it? Or what if someone threatened you with a banana, would you budge?

Of course not.

However, if you put special goldfish treats next to the banana or you showed up with a plastic banana that blew out banana chips, people and goldfish would be more likely to pay attention and make a move to find out more about the banana you present to them.

The same goes for mlm.

Offer something they love, and they will ask for more.

If you were to offer free lottery tickets or free food (use to work like a charm), people would come for the freebie and out of curiousity of what would cause you to give away free stuff.  They might also start to wonder how you could afford such an event.

When you take care of people in some way, they are more inclined to believe what comes out of your mouth.

In this way, you deliver value to your mlm leads and prospects prior to them joining you and they are more motivated to take advantage of the opportunity that you are presenting.

Collect Names and Get Ready to Rumble Ramble

Finding a way to accumulate interested parties is going to be an essential part of your network marketing adventure. Leads will fuel your network marketing business and it is your duty to find and get these leads to continue to build to find your mlm success.

A website works 24/7 for you. You can essentially “speak” to people around the globe and around the clock and collect leads from the globe.

Using a responsive website is key. Make sure to have a plug in or space for visitors to subscribe to your newsfeed or newsletter.  Offer them great freebies of info nuggets that will help them with whatever they need business wise.

Then, take those leads and offer discounts, products or more knowledge on how they can use your product.

Getting no email addresses because you have no form on your website is the same as ripping a dollar bill in half and losing the pieces.

Email leads can offer you more income than just walks in the door.

Get a website with an opt in for newsletters asap to start gathering relevant leads for future sales, discounts and emails.

Don’t sell it if you Don’t LOVE IT.

There is nothing worse then lack of authenticity.

I’m one of those people who HATES liars and I especially HATE unauthentic peeps.

If you choose a multilevel marketing company for the compensation plan and not the product, you will end up lying to people just to try and make a sale.

Loving a product is emitted through the way you speak just as much as what you say about the product and people can easily read through bullshit.

Don’t be a poop mouth. Be real.

ONLY sell products you love and adore so that you gain trust and ultimately more customers.

If you have a chance to try the products, do so.  It’s dumb to try and sell something you’ve never used or tried for yourself. Period.

If you are more passionate about the product you are selling, you will see more wealth on all levels than those who  are not.

Only work for companies that have the same mindset as you and is not embedded deep up the Feds bum bum with legal battles for unauthentic and unethical ways of dealing business.

Do your homework before you join.

Is Network Marketing the way to go?

Direct selling offers you the super neat opportunity to meet people from around the world. (Now I have that song” around the world, around the wooorlld” stuck in my head”)

You will meet people with all different backgrounds and incomes.  From chiropractors to beach bums, you name it, you will likely meet it in a mlm company.

Multilevel marketing is a career that isn’t talked about and not admired until it’s given people the income they desire.

Anybody can succeed in direct sales if:

• They invest time.
• They invest money (like a real business would)
• They work hard daily.
• They realize it’s a full time job and might work harder than ever before
• They can sell
• They are social and can build connections with others

If you think you qualify for this, then your mlm adventure could very well make you the next network marketing millionaire.

Why not train yourself for that gold metal?
