MLM Leadership-The TRUE COST of Laziness in MLM

MLM Training- The TRUE COST of Your Lack of Action in Network Marketing

By Doug Firebaugh

Expensive.

VERY expensive.

That is what LOA is in the network marketing arena. It can be the most costly thing you ever have seen as far as a potential future, and yet, people seem to ignore the cost of it.

Amazing.

That is what it is.

Amazing.

That people would let this occur and without a single thought or guilt about it. And when the cost of it comes due, all they due is have a pity party.

” Woe is me. I am so unlucky. Look what this MLM business has done to me.”

Yeah right.

INFERNO Secret:

Network marketing will only reflect back to you what you have done for it. It doesn’t do anything to you. It only gives back what you have put in. Nothing more, nothing less.

You have joined a Network Marketing Company, and you are excited and want to tell the world, but then -- something happens.

REALITY.

You must go out and make calls and talk to people, do presentations, follow up, ask for the order, and do three ways as well as train your new people, so you say:

”WAIT A MINUTE! Is there not another way? There HAS TO BE!!!”

Sure. If you want to fail.

And LOA is a direct result of reality setting in and then your fears and doubts show up, and--

WHAMMMOOOOOO!

You are now full blown into the grasps of LOA, and many people don’t even know they are there. They live their entire lives there, and their career in MLM becomes a result of it.

LOA. The cancer in MLM and Network Marketing.

Ok.

What is this thing called LOA and why is it so expensive to you?

Lack Of Action.

One of the biggest reasons that people fail miserably in this business, and the cost of it is staggering if you look at it realistically.

INFERNO Secret:

The most broke and poorest distributor in MLM is the “Permanent Student” who learns all the right things and what to do and say, but never acts on it or engages it.

And they are the ones who scream the loudest that MLM is a scam and it doesn’t work.

No.

They are only scamming themselves to think that knowledge will make them successful in any enterprise, let alone Network Marketing or a Home Business.

INFERNO Secret:

Knowledge will not make you rich--ever. It is how you APPLY the knowledge EFFECTIVELY and CONSISTENTLY that creates wealth in Network Marketing.

Lack of Action is a cost that has interest. As a friend of mine says…

“If you think success is expensive, try paying the bill for failure!”

GREAT QUOTE!

Ok, we understand that LOA is something that is VERY expensive to you and your family.

But what are the true costs of it? If you really think about it, and ponder it, what will it really cost you and your family your lack of action?

There is an exercise I have done all over the world and back, and the impact it amazing at what it does. And it really is a COLD DOSE of reality of what your LOA does cost you. And this exercise is something that is a good downline building tool and can be used in seminars and meetings.

It’s called:

”The Top 10 Things I will Never have in My Life due to MY Lack of Action”.

OUCH! That hurts, doesn’t it? If you really think about it, it really does create a fear of loss and a big one sometimes.

Fill out the items below and list the things you will not have due to your LOA in MLM:

1) ______________________________________________

2) ______________________________________________

3 ______________________________________________

4) -_____________________________________________

5) ______________________________________________

6) ______________________________________________

7) _____________________________________________

8) _____________________________________________

9) _____________________________________________

10) ____________________________________________

I realize that this is what my LOA will cost me, and am aware of the future costs as well.

Signed __________________________________________

Date _____________________

So -- what’s it gonna be bubba? (Or bubbette….smile)

May I suggest you NOT ACCEPT the Top 10 Lack in your life and TRUE COST of Lack of Action, and decide to get INTO ACTION and start creating what you want in your life in MLM and Network Marketing!

MLM Leadership- The MASTER MLM Success Skill

MLM Success- THE MLM Success Secret - You must Master the Master Skill in Network Marketing.

by Doug Firebaugh

It truly is the Network Marketing Paradox. I just shake my head sometimes at this, and other times, I just smile.

I have some good news.

And some not so good news.

Well, I guess it all depends on how you look at it as far as your Network marketing business and your MLM Success.

Here it is:

Your paycheck is totally, absolutely, postively, no doubt about it, no argument available, it is the solid truth, incredibly determined by one thing.

WHOA !

You say!

How can that be? Don't say that! Many things determine a paycheck! Many factors determine my income! Many forces determine my volume! Many things have been determining the numbers on my check!

I understand why you feel that way.

I once thought that there were many factors that went in to the MLM Success Formula for Network Marketing. Was I correct?

Well, yes and no.

INFERNO Secret:

Your Success can be determined by many things, but your paycheck is determined by one.

Read that again to make sure you have it down.

And most people view their Success in MLM through the numbers on their mlm paychecks.

Let look at the Truth about Your MLM Paycheck.

But it's TRUE . Your paycheck is really determined by ONE thing...

100%.

What would that one thing be?

It is what I call the " Master Skill in Network Marketing ".

MLM Millionaires have mastered and continue to master it.

Politicians have mastered it.

CEO's have mastered it, and even most waitresses have mastered it.

Movie Stars have mastered it.

Mega Church Pastors have mastered it.

Successful entrepreneurs have mastered it.

And YOU must master it.

OK, what is it?

It's COMMUNICATION .

OnFIRE Communication!

Fortune Magazine did a study of over 200 Multi-Millionaires, and found that over 90% of them when questioned what the single most important skill was for their or any success:

It was the ability to effectively communicate!

There are three rules to a Successful Paycheck in MLM:

1. You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
   
2. You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
   
3. You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.

PERIOD !

Let me repeat that so you have it down...ONE MORE TIME!

1. You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
   
2. You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.
   
3. You will never get paid for anything else other that talking to people.

Got the MLM Paycheck Source?

You get paid for talking to mlm prospects, talking to your downline, and talking to your leaders. You MUST become a riveting MLM Communicator, and develop a talking style that is Powerful, Magnetic, Fpcused, Energetic, and is Effective in MLM Success

If that is a weakness in your personality, then you need to read books and study Communication. I did, and it paid off unbelievably! One of my favorites is "You Are the Message," available through amazon.com Also, there is a good book, "Getting your point across in 5 Minutes or Less." Bot are great books as far as communication. Read them, and listen to some audio tapes on Communication, and check out the CommunicationLab on out PassionFire website.

Educating yourself on Communication is a MUST! And it will pay off massively HUGE in your MLM Success.

Blessings...

MLM Leadership- The Secrets of Your REAL MLM Inventory

MLM Training- MLM Success Secret: Know Your REAL Inventory and It's Wealth Power

Doug Firebaugh

Let me ask you a very simple question:

What is your inventory in MLM?

Now, don't look too much into this question, it is a very simple one. But let me ask you this question again.

What is your inventory in Network Marketing and MLM?

Is it Vitamins?

Nutritional Products?

Weight Loss Products?

Cosmetics?

Noni Juice?

Internet Products?

Skin Care Products?

Make up?

Telecommunication services?

Travel services?

Wholesale Purchase program and Service?

Legal Service Products?

Insurance Products?

Training Products?

Children's Educational Products?

Pre-packaged Food Products?

The Real Network Marketing Deal.

If you are going to succeed in MLM, then you must know a few things.

What you market to the masses, the products you sell:

Are the COMPANY'S inventory, not yours.

YOUR Inventory is NOT the products you order from the company. Let em repeat that:

Your Inventory is NOT-NOT- the products you order from the company and take to the marketplace.

They are the products that belong to the mlm company, even though you may purchase them they are still the products of the network marketing company.

The company manufactures/developed them, and you simply are a messenger for the network marketing company to talk about them to others.

What is your REAL INVENTORY?

PEOPLE are your inventory... PERIOD!

Your Prospects, your Customers, and your Downline.

Let me repeat that.

Your Prospects, your Customers, and your Downline.

One more time...

Your Prospects, your Customers, and your Downline are your REAL Inventory.

And they always will be. What is your inventory looking like? No business can operate without enough inventory.

"Where 's the MLM Beef?"

If someone is struggling in this business, many times I will ask them to "Show me your inventory," and they will look totally puzzled. They many times look at me like a deer in headlights.

I will then precede to tell them that most folks who are struggling in MLM have a LOW Inventory of People.

And what business would last if their inventory constantly ran low?

And you must restock your inventory from time to time as well, as some inventory will become "outdated," resistant to marketplace change, and useless to your business...

As many distributors will as well.

If you are struggling in your business, take a look at your inventory. You may find a CLUE there.

Remember the " MLM SuccessFire Formula for Success"

No Inventory = No Igniting!

MLM Leadership- The 2 Golden Words of MLM Success

MLM Training- The Two Golden Words for Massive MLM Success

by Doug Firebaugh

Many a Leader in Network Marketing get into the business, and really go after it. They see where they want to go, and truly start on an excited journey to success. But little by little, it starts to fade.

Ever seen that in you or your folks? The gleam in their eyes has started to fade, and the pounding in their heart is not as strong, and the Fire in their words is now burning low.

Where did it go? What happened?

And as a Leader, you think" What caused it?", and why can't you see this "Creeping Cancer" start?

You can.

And you can actually help prevent it, with what we at PassionFire call "The Two Golden Words."

Too many times in MLM Leaders are blindsided by something that most Leaders are not even aware of, or at least not focused on it. And if they were, the "Creeping Cancer" could be at least diagnosed, and dealt with on an emergency basis.

As a Leader, or an Aspiring Leader in Network Marketing, you will build an organization, and many times will shake your head at people quitting, walking away, for no apparent reason.

And most of the time, it is caused by one thing, and it truly is a 'Creeping Cancer" in your business and the Industry as a whole, as well as Life itself.

What is that Cancer?

The Cancer that Eats Away at MLM Success:

Compromise.

And what are the Two Golden Words in MLM Success?

NO COMPROMISE.

Simply, you, as a Leader, must promote and enroll your folks in a No Compromise Vision. How does this happen?

Well, it starts with a Lack of awareness that this can and will happen, and if it is not focused on and handled, will grow as a part of how most mediocre people live their lives.

Little by little, inch by inch, a little compromise here, a little compromise there, lowering their standards and expectations for success. That is how this home business in network marketing becomes a low priority with folks after a while.

It's called "The Rust Factor."

Just as a new piece of steel if left to the elements will rust, so does your Vision and dreams if left to the "Elements of Compromise." The "Rain of Doubt, " The "Wind of Frustration, " The "Hail of Negatives," The "Storm of Adversity, " and The "Heat of Anger."

You know what the word "RUST" stands for?

RUST.....Regressing Under Someone-else's Thinking.

Do you do that?

Lower and regress you dreams under someone else's Little thinking and "advice"? DON"T!

The New MLM Distributor.

How does this happen with the new distributor?

1. The new distributor sets high goals, and starts their business, but after a little while with little results, they lower their dreams, and compromise their success, and life, and future, and expectations.

2. The new distributor starts their business, and as they start contacting their warm market, the people they hold in high regard are negative to them, and want to "Bring them down to earth."

And to "reality," and due to their Influence, the new distributor compromises His/Her success by lowering or abandoning their dreams, to please their friends, to "Fit in" and not rock the "Boat of Acceptance."

3. After a while, the new MLM distributor gets to know some "Veteran Distributors, " and these folks "Tell it the way it is." And they whine and complain to the new distributor, and the newbie starts to lower their dreams and goals to "Fall in line" with what is "real" in a home business MLM, compromising their life and dreams again.

What if Abraham Lincoln had compromised His Standards?

What if Thomas Jefferson had Compromised His Standards?

What if Mother Teresa had compromised Her standards?

Greatness in ANY Leadership endeavor starts with a NO COMPROMISE Mindset and "Heartset" as well.

And the sad part about it, a lot of MLM Leaders are the one's who compromise their New Distributor's dreams and standards because they have not been diligent in their own pursuit of success. (Are you guilty?) What can you do?

The No Compromise Campaign in MLM.

Start a "NO COMPROMISE Campaign" with your Network Marketing group.

1. Announce it to your group, and tell them NO ONE is going to steal their future as long as you are their Leader. NO ONE!

2. Tell them that Compromise is NOT AN OPTION in your group, and you will STAY THE COURSE-REACH THE DREAM, which is the true Secret of Leadership in this Business.

And the 3 most important words to drive your campaign:

NO MATTER WHAT!

3. And "NO COMPROMISE" Flyers, button, stickers, whatever you want to promote the message, and everytime you chat with your Leaders, remind them.

Only People who DON"T ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS, compromise. We WILL achieve our dreams-- NO MATTER WHAT!

And one final thought:

The Last word in Compromise is Promise. Are you focused on that part of the word? If you have compromised, you have broken a Sacred Leadership Promise, and Trust, to Navigate your folks to Success.

What does a promise mean to you? What does your Vision and your Folk's Vision mean to them?

DON"T let life, or negative people compromise your future, dreams, and Success. Don't Compromise, but CAN-Promise. And Lead your people to a future that CAN and WILL be achieved, but only with a NO COMPROMISE Leadership.

NO MATTER WHAT!

Compromise -- The "Creeping Cancer" of MLM Leadership.

Cut the Tumor out at the Heart of the Cancer, with Radical and Massive Radiation Treatment called:

Passionate Leadership!

MLM Leadership- the 9 Million Dollar Success Questions

MLM Success- The 9 Million Dollar Questions in Network Marketing Leadership.

by Doug Firebaugh

Can people REALLY Succeed in Network Marketing and MLM?

Great Question!

Answer: They can, and DO, all the time.

I got in a conversation recently with someone who asked that question, and they were convinced beyond my words that MLM simply is something that people cannot do.

And they walked off still thinking that way. Sad.

But it is a really good question, and I believe needs to be addressed from a point of reality and truth, not hype and promises. It is so true that most folks don't succeed in network marketing, and the reason why is one, that they don't want to hear, don't want to believe and don't want to deal with.

But understand:

The MLM Leadership Factor.

INFERNO Secret:

Leadership is about telling folks what needs to be said, not what they want to hear. And sometimes leaders in this business can be outcasts because they stand up for the brutal truth, not some candy coated platitude that is more for tickling the ears then changing a life.

I get emails a lot about how my writings are too blount and brutal and I need to lighten up.

Get over it. The truth needs to be told in this industry, and until folks can get a grasp on it, they will never be successful nor rich. What is the answer to the question?

You may or not believe it. But you are struggling and failing in this Network Marketing business:

Because you have chosen to do so.

Period. That's it.

Nothing more. And I can hear the "you don't understands" now coming off my computer screen, and they echo throughout the industry. The "Excuse Brigade" is now in action again, and clinging to their excuses like a vine to a pole, like odor to garbage.

And that is all their excuses are: Garbage. Let me explain.

It takes a certain amount of work, activity, belief, energy, education and relentless pursuit to create any success of any kind in any endeavor. .All Network Marketing Leaders know this.

And luck has a way of showing up when you have chosen to engage all of the above effectively.

Let me ask you a few questions. And for once in this business, look at yourself and answer them brutally honest.

The 9 Million Dollar Questions of MLM Leadership.

1) Have you REALLY given TOTALLY all you got the last 30 days in this business when you worked it or have you chosen not to?

2) Have you had the level of activity that is REALLY needed to succeed in MLM, or have you chosen not to?

3) Have you decided that NOTHING will stop you from success, or have you chosen that you will stop you??

4) Have you intensely educated yourself on how to REALLY do this business effectively and professionally, or have you chosen not to?

5) Have you been telling yourself the truth about what you are REALLY doing daily in your business, or NOT doing, or have you chosen NOT to?

6) Have you talked to enough people today to create some serious MLM Fire in your business, or have you chosen not to?

7) Have you focused on what will create success, not comfort, and then done it, or chosen COMFORT?

8) Are you going to finally GET SERIOUS about this business and give yourself permission to succeed, or deny yourself that choice?

9) Are you going to listen to all your excuses and reasons why Network Marketing won't work, or have you chosen not to, and you just go out and do it and prove everyone wrong?

WAKE UP GUYS!

Your choices and decisions in this business will dictate WHAT YOU PUT INTO YOUR HOURS, and the effect those hours have on your business.r

The Secret of What Your MLM Business REALLY is.

INFERNO Secret:

All your business is, and ever will be, is a summary of what you and your downline have put, or NOT PUT, into the hours you have worked your business.

Garbage in, Garbage out. NO Exceptions.

Most kid themselves into thinking they have been working, and in reality, they have not been constructing a business, but conning themselves into constricting a future.

Brutal?

I hope so. I want this article today to be like a 2X4 up against your heart and get you to see what is REALLY your choices and desires for you in this industry.

If you do, and step up and start changing those choices into decisions and then let that decision become unalterable, it's Success or Nothing, Freedom or Nothing, then you will find the Success Track that all leaders need to be on with their folks and with their Vision.

2 Words: IT'S TIME. To get Serious about building a Serious MLM Business.

And IT STARTS TODAY. Period.

The Seriousness Factor in MLM Leadership.

INFERNO Secret:

The SERIOUSNESS of your actions in this business will ALWAYS determine the SERIOUSNESS of your paycheck.

Now THAT'S Leadership Reality! if you choose to believe that, and GET SERIOUS. Get yourself a new bank account. You are gonna need it.

MLM Leadership- The Top 15 Network Marketing Lead Companies in MLM

MLM Network Marketing Training- the Top 15 MLM Lead Companies in Network Marketing

by Doug Firebaugh



MLM leads.

That is a sound of music to my ears. Why? I worked MLM Leads for nearly 8 years, and had great success with them. That is why that I have a pretty good understanding of what really makes a good MLM Lead, and what does not.

In the pursuit of finding these top 15 Network Marketing Lead companies, there were some requirements and considerations that went into the mix. An MLM lead is only part of the MLM Lead Success Formula. There were 5 things that we looked at when we were considering MLM Lead Companies.

What are they?

1) Quality of the MLM lead.

Quality of lead is everything. There are some great looking websites out there that look totally rocdking, but we found that the quality of leads when we called them, were less than what you should expect in an MLM lead.

Beautiful site, great looking logo, lousy leads.

That is why we actually had people order leads, and we called them. We called more than one bunch of leads as well. This at least would give us a feeling of consistency or lack of it. The MLM Lead companies we chose were highly consistent in quality of lead, and people who truly were looking for a business. It took us 7 months to complete the research on MLM leads.

2) Training of working the MLM Leads.

Many of the beautiful sites offered no type of ongoing training, and that was something that really needs to be be a part of any good MLM leads programs. There were some that had online training, as well as cds and training series you could purchase. That was good, but the ongoing live training was the best idea, and we found many MLM leads Companies that did just that.

Training also includes scripts, handling objections, presentation, following up, closing, and other MLM leads topics. There are some HOT MLM leads sites out there that truly delivered on this qulaity of MLM leads training.

3) MLM Leads Support.

The support factor was key. Once the MLM leads were purchased, was there somehow support in case of need? Most had email support, some had live phone support, and some had live instant message support. There were sites that offered no support, and if you had a challenge with your MLM leads, then good luck.

The support should be somehow resolving issues that arise, including bad mlm leads, wrong numbers or emails, and general problems. The MLM Leads companies we found that were the best, had a support system. And some type of guarantee also should be part of the network marketing lead program.

4) Targeted MLM leads.

Many companies had different types of targeted mlm leads, including company specific, live tv leads, local leads, gender specific, product specific, area code specific, among others. Targeted mlm leads are the favorite of the Networkers I talked to, as it give people a more focused lead, and a more targeted impact.

5) Pricing of the MLM leads.

This was a huge factor in determining many people's decision to buy. But to be blunt, you get what you pay for. There are many cheap network marketing home business lead companies with cheap leads, but here is a warning:

Be careful.

Ask if you can try maybe 15-20 leads to see if they are worth the money. Many companies give free network marketing leads away to try.

Understand that a great MLM lead may cost you several dollars, and rightfully so.

INFERNO Secret:

An MLM lead purchase is NOT a purchase, but an investment in your business. One good MLM lead can produce tens of thousands of dollars in volume and revenues. If you understand that, then the pricing should not be as important as the quality and training of the Network marketing lead company.

And of course, REPUTATION had a lot to do with the selection as well. Some companies that came across really well, when checked on, did not have a very good reputation for MLM Leads and service.

Soooooo:

What are the Top 15 MLM lead Companies? (They are in no particular order, as all are really great as far as our research would tell us.)

INFERNO Secret:

Do your OWN DUE DILIGENCE before you purchase, but these we found are pretty strong as all scored well in the above areas of requirement.

1) Cutting Edge Media

http://www.cuttingedgemedia.com

2) Leads2yoursuccess.com

http://www.leads2yoursuccess.com

3) Networkleads.com

http://www.networkleads.com

4) ProStep MLM leads

http://www.prostepinc.com

5) LeadsLab MLM leads

http://www.leadslab.com

6) Leaders Club MLM leads

http://www.leadersclub.com

7)Traffic Oasis (Need a referral source for this one)

http://www.trafficoasis.com

8) Fast MLM Leads

http://www.fastmlmleads.com

9) Pro MLM Leads

http://www.promlmleads.com

10) NPros (Company specific mlm leads)

http://www.npros.com

11) Jungle Leads

http://www.jungleleads.com

12) Optimized Leads

13) Laser Leads

http://www.laserleads.com

14) Leads Lists

http://www.leadslists.com

15) MLM leads.com

http://www.mlmleads.com

There ARE other good MLM lead companies out there, depending on what you are looking for. But these we found as far as research, were the better ones, and some were beyond exceptional.

MLM leads are a great source of NEW BLOOD for your business. You can find Gold mine after Gold mine, in a good Network marketing lead and great MLM Leads.

MLM Leadership - the Top 5 Mistakes Made in MLM Recruiting

Network Marketing Success- The 5 Biggest Reasons People Fail in MLM Recruiting

By Doug Firebaugh

In MLM recruiting, if there is a standard belief that you must understand. It is this:

INFERNO Secret:

In a Home Business we get paid to do one thing, and one thing only. It will determine 95% of your paycheck. And that is:

Communicating with people.

I have said that before, and I hope you understand we are a business of Communication, with marketing blended into it.

With that in mind:

There are 5 HUGE reasons why people fail in recruiting in network marketing. And after studying and doing the business for nearly 13 years full-time, I discovered there is a pattern that I saw that developed with people who were struggling with their home business recruiting, which usually is the majority of folks.

And I hope that you will look at these 5 reasons and see where you can change your focus and efforts to a more productive and effective style of MLM Recruiting.

The 5 Reasons for Massive MLM Recruiting Failure:

• 1) "The distributor not talking to People."

Yes, you read that right. Amazing as that sounds. There are many people who lead people to believe with their words that they are actually recruiting and talking to people. But they are not.

They are busy at building a facade of a business and never really engaging the conversation and contact necessary for success. Why?

Fear of many things. But that is the biggest reason. And how do you overcome it?

Find a recruiting partner who will help emotionally support you and help you, whether it is your upline or sideline. And work with them.

Yes, there are folks out there who truly are talking to no one,as they are scared. If you see no action happening with someone in your downline, it may be a "silent talker."

Otherwise someone who talks about recruiting, but is silent when it comes time to recruit.

You MUST communicate with folks if you are going to have success in the marketplace and with your home business.

Imagine, fooling yourself into believing you are truly working a Network Marketing business this way. NOT!

2. "The Distributor Not talking to Enough people."

This is an interesting thing. There seems to be a comfort level with people that says "I have talked to xx number of people, and nothing is happening, so that means I can't recruit because this doesn't work." Again..NOT!

INFERNO Secret:

One of the biggest reasons failure occurs in MLM is: (GET THIS!)

Too many distributors spend too much time, with too many people, who have too little of an interest.

Talk to a lot of DIFFERENT people.

It amazes me that someone can say they talked to a lot of folks, and in reality they talked a lot to a few folks who have little interest. And it's all because they don't have to go out and talk to NEW people. They would tather talk to people with little interest than new folks who do have an interest.

New Blood in Network Marketing Recruiting.

INFERNO Secret:

In MLM Recruiting, NEW blood keeps the heart of your business pumping. Talk to ENOUGH people and talk to people ENOUGH, but don't turn them off.

Go on to a new person, and see what happens with that person verses trying to force someone into the business who later will only leave with a bad taste.

3. "The Distributor not talking to the Right People"

Wasting massive amounts of time. That is what most distributors do when recruiting and continue to do. They talk to the wrong people, and then bring in the wrong people, and then have a downline of mostly wrong people.

Who are the right people?

People who light up and catch Fire when you show them your home business, and then light other's up when they talk. Not someone who complains after only 2 days because the application is the wrong color.

Or the wrong size. Or the upline is not doing enough to welcome them aboard. 2 phone calls is not enough. You know the type.

There is what we call the "Recruiting IQ". And that helps tell you if they are the right one.

IQ stands for "Ignite Quickly." And if they catch fire quickly, they have a great chance of being the "right one" to pursue.

INFERNO Secret:

To attract the Right One for your Home Business Success, you must BECOME the right one. You must become who you want to attract into this home business through personal development and empowerment.

4. "The Distributor not Talking Right to people."

This is a business of communication, and thus of verbiage and emotion as well.

The Wrong MLM Message.

INFERNO Secret:

A lot of distributors are simply saying the wrong things to the wrong people with a wrong message. You must talk to people with a YOU focus.

It is called the T.I.N.Y Focus:

Their Interests Not Yours. And you focus whether online or offline, on what interests them and do it Professionally.

Nothing turns someone off worse than a self focused and self absorbed Direct Sales distributor who is only focused on recruiting a person for THEIR reasons. Not the reason of the prospect. And the words they are using reveal a lot...Me...me...I....I...me...me...I... I....me...me....me...you.

INFERNO Secret:

You should say the word "You" at least 4 times more than the word "I" or "me" in any Home Business presentation.

INFERNO Exercise: Here is an exercise: Try recruiting someone without using the word "I" or "me." Use we and us, and see how the prospect's interests increases as you use YOU 4 times more than Us or We.

The Talking Too Much Factor in MLM Recruiting.

5. "Talking TOO Much to people You are talking to."

Some folks have diarrhea of the mouth. And they talk, and talk, and they talk, and then talk. And talk, and talk, and by the time they finish, the prospects finished.

Done.

Don't Dump on people! Create a RECRUITING ENVIRONMENT.

That creates the prospect to do most of the talking. Ask a lot of questions. Listen a lot of minutes. Ask a lot of questions.

INFERNO Secret:

Most people LOVE to have an audience. But they hate to BE an audience. You BE an audience of one for massive listening to your prospect, and don't create a "Sat Chat."

What is that?

A Saturation chat. Where they feel saturated with your words and info, and feel they have enough information to tell you -- No.

The Power of Magnetic Questions in MLM and a Home Business.

If you are going to be a HOT MLM Recruiter, you must CONNECT with your folks!

And the best way to do that is to become an audience of one.

And ask a lot of "Magnetic Questions... and watch an explosion occur in your MLM and Network Marketing Recruiting.

MLM Leadership- The MLM Recruiting Test for Network Marketing

MLM Recruiting- The Recruiting Test for Network Marketing

by Doug Firebaugh

The Ultimate MLM Recruiter.

How good of a Network Marketing recruiter are you?

Is it easy for you to sponsor people or difficult?

Is it a struggle to recruit for you? Or somewhere in between?

After 20 years in this industry, you have a tendency to learn some things if you pay attention. And after observing for quite some time, and the experience of our own team when I was active, we found that there are certain things that are done daily that highly successful MLM recruiters do.

You would be well served to take note and even copy what they do.

INFERNO Secret:

Most great Network Marketing sponsors have done some things to MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN, instead of waiting for something to happen as many mlm distributors do.

Making something happen is the number one trait of all MLM Super Recruiters, and that is what this test is about. To see where you are as far as positioning yourself to make something happen everday, with a few tactics that have proven to produce millions in volume.

The Network Marketing Recruiting Score.

Score yourself 1-5 on each question. 1 being "rarely done" and 5 being "always done" and then 2-4 being somewhere in the middle. When you finish, add your score up.

The top score is a 35. That is HOT!

If you score that, you are positioned for MASSIVE MLM Recruiting Success. A score of 30 is good, but needs a little work. A score of 25 is fair, and a score of 20 or below is "you have some SERIOUS work to do!"

See where you are with each question:

1) Do you take brochures with you wherever you go?

This is a tactic that produced millions in volume. It gives you an excuse to talk to someone, it reminds you to talk to folks, and also is a confidence builder as you let the brochure be your silent presenter if the occasion arises.

2) Do you engage 2 new conversations a day with 2 new people for the first time?

2 conversations a day should be the minimum you do as far as recruiting. There are so many people out there to talk to, and talking to 2 everyday should be a cakewalk.

3) Do you list the 2 people everyday that you plan on calling?

This is a million dollar habit. Make a list every weekend of the 2 people you plan on talking to on Monday, Tuesday, etc. Then call them on that day. this gives you direction, and a plan to make something happen.

4) Do you hand out 2 tools a day for new exposures?

Tools help bridge the gap between inexperience and experience. Tools also are totally duplicable and say the same thing every time. Plus it FOCUSES you to make something happen that is easy and brief.

5) Do you do a minimum of 2 three ways a day?

Three ways are the single greatest tool you have in recruiting, and you should learn to MASTER them. If you are not doing three way calling, then you are working this business handicapped.

6) Do you make it a point to see and be aware of who is around you wherever you are?

The easiest way to turn your Recruiting Radar on, is everywhere you go, carry either a brochure or cd with you. This will not only PROMPT you to be more aware of who is around you, but also give you an excuse to give it to someone. This will help you develop the habit of being AWARE of who is in your Recruiting Environment.

7) Do you carry product -- or information/free trial about your services -- that you market in your car?

MLM Millionaires I have found all have product in the car all the time in case they run into the "right one." And if you market services and not tangible products, many folks I know carry with them a way to show how their service works, or a tool that does. It is called show and tell.

Soo....

How did you turn out?

Did you pass the Recruiting Test?

35 is Excellent.
30 is Good.
25 is Fair.
22 or below is Poor.

Take a look at what you need work on, and see if you can get yourself in a better position to recruit, and tell your story to people. The higher the score you have, the better positioned action wise and psychologically you are to create Success in MLM.

You also need to understand that every question and tactic is a PROMPTER that prompts you to DO SOMETHING in the marketplace, and if you continue to do those things, they will become million dollar habits.

Put yourself in the mind set and position to MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN, instead of waiting for something to happen, like so many do in MLM and Network Marketing Recruiting.

MLM Leadership- The Daily Success actions of the MLM Millionaire

Network Marketing Success-Working the MLM Millionaire Daily Numbers."

by Doug Firebaugh

Millionaire.

Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? We interviewed a lot of them for this Network Marketing research project, and found some interesting stats on how they perceive, and work "the numbers" in MLM.

Most people have a fantasy about becoming a millionaire in network marketing, but that's all it truly is. Jjust a fantasy that lays in the mind of folks that most never even try to engage.

As one number one earner said:

"The difference in me and most is that my Vision for becoming a millionaire was so crystal clear, and I didn't drive it, it drove me. It was something that was a calling almost, and it was never a fantasy, but a fanatical urging that wouldn't go away."

Hmmm.Fanatical Urging, that wouldn't go away. He said that it simply became a PASSION in his life. THAT is a CLUE to what it takes to become a big success in MLM.

Most see a fantasy, not a fanatic. As another number one earner said, "If people would get as excited about their company as they do a football game, they would be rich within 3 years."

Excitement in MLM.

INFERNO Secret:

If you are more excited about a football game than your business, you will fumble in MLM eventually.

Another top earner said, "It's amazing how people yell at baseball or softball games, and then become strangely silent about their future, as if someone else was determining it."

The sad part, someone else usually is.

What was surprising is the perception with some folks that Millionaires in MLM got "lucky," and found the right people who did the work. In rare instances that is true, but most millionaires I chatted with had a differing perspective on that, as well as the activity level that needs to be done when recruiting.

The most astonishing fact we found was that MLM Millionaires were "reality based" in understanding the TRUE numbers it takes for massive success, as most folks are Fantasy based. They think they can make 20 phone calls and get rich.

One top earner said," All I knew was I had to talk to 1000 people. That was what I was told to do. So I was on a mission to do that, and it ended up over 3000."

Now she says, "I do what I want when I want, for how long I want with my kids. It is a miracle!"

Here is a breakdown of what we found in the activity of the average, Successful,, and millionaire distributor: (from over 1400 responses and interviews)

(All numbers part time. The millionaire numbers are what they averaged when they were part time. THAT will open your eyes!!!!!)

The Numbers of The MLM Study on Success.

Hours worked a week: Average: 6 Successful: 12 Millionaire: 25

Phone dials a day: Average: 5 Successful: 15 Millionaire: 50

People talked to a day: Average: 1 Successful: 7 Millionaire: 15

3 ways a day: Average: 1 Successful: 5 Millionaire: 15

Presentations a week:(phone-face to face) Average: 2 Successful: 8 Millionaires: 20

Leads collected a week: Average: 2 Successful: 20 Millionaires: 50

Follow-ups a day: Average: 1 Successful:4 Millionaire: 10

Sales a week Average: 1 Successful:3 Millionaires: 7

No's gotten in a week: Average: 2 Successful: 10 Millionaires: 25

Conference calls with guests weekly: Average: 0 Successful:2 Millionaires: 5

Number of applications weekly: Average: 0 Successful: 1 Millionaire: 4

The Part Time MLM Millioniare Activity Level.

As you can see, the part time millionaire activity level was as high as most full timers.

As you can see, activity with millionaires is much more intense that the average or even successful distributor. And in recruiting, the numbers worked were so much more.

How is your activity level? Are you close to even the "successful?"

May I suggest you be.....

Why?

Your future lies within that answer in MLM and Network Marketing!

MLM Leadership- The MLM Success FAST Start Formula

Network Marketing Training- The F.A.S.T. START MLM Success Formula

by Doug Firebaugh

The FAST Start Training for the new MLM distributor

FAST.

That is how most people want to go in this business, and rightly so.

But you have to have a system or process to get there. That is what this training is about--a quick way to get off to a fast start and make something happen.

There are 4 key components to a good F.A.S.T. Start Training, and they are:

1) First things first.

You must be trained on the first parts of the education process in this business, and those are the important points on:

A) The Company facts and details on the history and management
B) The Products and the benefits of each product plus piece points
C) The Compensation Plan and how it works and how you make money
D) Your Upline and who they are
E) Developing your product story and your business success story
F) The Paperwork and how it is done
G) The Tools that you will use to build your business

2) Action steps you will take.

What will you do once you have gone through the “First things first” part?

A) You will learn how to do your Memory Jogger
B) You will learn how to approach and contact them
C) You will learn how to Neutralize Objections
D) You will learn how to do a Presentation
E) You will learn how to Follow up and ask for the decision
F) You will learn how to retail the products

3) Start the process Step By Step.

Once you have been trained on the basics of the Action steps, you start the actual process of Network Marketing:

A) Prospect for the initial contacts
B) Contact them
C) Deliver the Message
D) Follow up with agreed plan
E) Ask for the Decision
…Prospect for the initial contacts…

This is where you choose who on your Memory Jogger will be contacted.

Contact them.

This is where either you or you and your upline contact the names.

Deliver the message.

This is where you either set up an appointment to go see them, get them on a conference call, or get them to try the product, or whatever else you set as the message…

Follow up with agreed plan.

This is where you simply follow up and keep in touch with the prospect.

Ask for the Decision.

This is where you get a decision of what they are planning on doing as far as product, business, or referrals.

This 5 step by step system is a VERY Basic and easy path to follow for the new distributor. It gives them 2 things

1) Initial Education on the basic information on WHAT
2) A Step By Step on HOW

These combined with a strong dose of MOTIVATION and LEADERSHIP will make for a HOT FAST Start training for you and your folks.

4) Then see what Path you will go with them.

Where do you go from here? Product sale? Recruiting? More Info? Referrals? Bring to a meeting? Decide what needs to be done.
Then Do it.

A FAST Start training needs to be 3 things:

1) Easy to train on

Don’t complicate it…make it easy and fun, and make it easy to learn.

2) Easy to Learn

Yes, easy to learn, as if it is not, then you will only end up de-motivating and confusing many of your prospects.

3) Easy to Duplicate

THIS IS A MUST! If you do it right, and make it easy to duplicate, you will find that the training will become more and more being taught doen in your group and by your budding Leaders.

Get your folks off to a FAST Start with this F.A.S.T. Start training. It will create some excitement and also lots of activity.

MLM Leadership- The 4 Phases of Building an MLM Leadership Team

Network Marketing Success- The 4 Steps to Building a HUGE Network Marketing Organization

Doug Firebaugh

The 4 Phases of Building Your MLM Organization.

You will build your MLM group in Phases.

That is one of the best kept secrets in Network Marketing. It is a business of phases and growth and seasons.

What is a phase?

It is a period of time in your life that you go through and through those times you experience many things, one being growth.

Your MLM organization is no exception. It will go through 4 phases of growth, if you let it.

INFERNO Secret:

Most downlines never go through all 4 phases, as they get stuck in one and stay there.

BUT NOT YOU!

You will stick with it and continue building your group till it reaches the phase you want it to be at.

OK.

What are the 4 Phases of MLM organizational growth?

1) FRAGILE.

This Phase is the first period of time that you and your fledgling downline will go through, and it can be a rough one.

This period of time is where you are new, and really don’t know the business, your skin is not 2 inches thick, you have no prior experience in MLM, and you are on a major learning curve, and you will make mistakes.

This is where you are actually developing your belief and trust in the industry, and many things can shake your focus and belief.

Family.

Spouses.

Friends.

Co-workers.

Set Backs.

People telling you NO.

And the list goes on.

You really are fragile in this business, because you have not developed your “Success Muscles” to help you go on in face of adversity, and your group is as well.

This is where a lot of people quit. They never “get it” that you must grow beyond the Fragile Phase to build a business. They got their feelings hurt constantly by their negative prospects, because they were in the Fragile phase and never grew beyond it.

In the Fragile stage is where most people quit, as they cannot take the Negatives and Disappointments that are innate to MLM and entrepeneurism, but their problem was NOT the negatives, but their lack of understanding how to take them and what was REALLY happening with that kind of response. PassionFire has a training on that called “Inoculation." Read it again if you already have.

2) SOLIDIFYING.

This second phase is where you have grown beyond the Fragile phase, and now your group is starting to grow more solid and be more consistent in Volume and paychecks. In the Solidifying phase, you start to see some Leaders emerge, and volume becomes solid and steady, as well as paychecks start to get steady and consistent.

When your group moves into this phase, you will know it and sense it as well. Your leaders will start to experience success as well as you and it is consistent, and you will see some leaders start to create their own identity in this business.

And you will sense some beginnings of momentum as well.

You will start to see some growth in your group that you had absolutely nothing to do with, and it will continue.

And you will see some new faces starting to show up in your group that you don’t know who they are, or their names.

THAT is when you will FEEL your group starting to Solidify, and that is where the majority of people quit.

80-90% of people who leave this business leave during the first 2 stages, and most leave during the first.

3) MATURE.

This phase is where the big money starts showing up. You can make a living in the solidifying phase, a nice one, but this phase is where the big checks start showing up, and show up they do. Not only for you, but also your leaders as well.

This phase is where you start to have “Layered Leadership” and that simply means you have Leaders in layers in your downline in many legs, and they now start to have Leaders showing up in their group as well. And the numbers in your group now number in the thousands, and many are active Leaders.

The Mature Phase also shows that your leaders have taught and duplicated how to build leaders in their group, and the dynamics of your group here become exciting as “Mature Pockets” start showing up and they no longer need you, as they have “splintered” into their own leadership organization.

This phase, $100,000 a year is commonplace.

And Millionaires to be start showing up.

4) ROCK SOLID.

This is the “WEALTH CREATION” Phase. This phase is where Wealth is created and accumulated and Millionaires roll up in this business.

This phase is where no matter what you do, you cannot mess up your business, and it will continue on in the event of your death.

The Rock Solid Phase is where also you have many Mature “Pockets” of distributors in your group, and now you have Mature Leaders that have big groups and many layers of Leadership.

Many people get close to this phase but never achieve it as they lack the Leadership skills to take it to this level…and many are close to it, but yet don’t understand it is that last 10% effort that most never give that determine the Rock Solid phase.

So those are the 4 phases of Organizational Growth in MLM.

Fragile, Solidifying, Mature, and Rock Solid.

Where do you see your group heading?

The answer to that will determine your future in MLM and Network Marketing.

MLM Leadership- The Secrets of Failure Inoculation

MLM Success Training-The Failure Inoculation of the New MLM Distibutor

The Inoculation, What You Are Going to Face in MLM.

When you want to prevent something from infecting your body, what do you do? You get a shot, or an inoculation into your body.

There are many viruses and germs out there that can take away our health and create a sickness in our body which can become a real problem if not cured. We need to keep up our Physical health, and sickness away from us.

INFERNO Secret:

The same goes to our Success Health.

What is that?

When you join a Network Marketing Company, you are moving into a very focused Success Environment that demands your Success Health remain strong, as there are a lot of Negative Infections that can invade you success health form other people's beliefs and negativity. And it create a Virus or Flu of doubt, disbelief, and eventually a cancer of failure.

Most people in this world never experience Success of any significance in their lives, and due to past conditioning, they have a very weak immune system to negative thinking and negative lives.

And when they get that Flu of mediocrity or failure-- It rarely leaves their world, and they become Infected Terminally for Success. They were not Innoculated, nor aware of the Success health problems, as they are more focused on Survival health, as most only do that through life.

INFERNO Secret:

You MUST Become inoculated from all of the negatives and failure focused thinking out in the world. You must keep your Success Health at FULL Force when you join an MLM Network Marketing Company!

How?

By understanding the INFERNO Secret of why a lot of people are negative about your business and future success. And if you understand this next Secret, you will be Inoculated from ALL Negative Thinking no matter who it is, and no matter what company you enroll in.

INFERNO Secret:

Most People do not want you to become successful and pass them by, and make them look bad.

Why?

Your Success will Mirror their Mediocrity and failures.

And it will totally render their Excuses they have been clinging to and hanging on to as a Farce.

You will have proven their excuses wrong, and it will force them to look at their life as it really is: Going nowhere as far as the Ladder of Success in Life.

INFERNO Secret:

There is something we at PassionFire call the Unspoken Understanding.

What's that? It is understood and never really spoken out loud:

If you don't mention my rut filled, talent wasting mediocre life, I won't mention yours.

And Success reveals that as it really is -- just an excuse for ACCEPTING Mediocrity in their life, and doing nothing about it.

Brutal? Yes. the Truth? Absolutely. I understand that Network Marketing is not for everyone, but a person can still pursue Success on their own path to unleash the Greatness within them.

What Do YOU DO to Become Successful In MLM?

If you are going to be successful in this business, you MUST Innoculate you and your distributors from people who will try to convince you this won't work. They will tell you that it never has, and it never will work. They will tell you that you will fail. How does an Unsuccessful person merit much attention when they won't even look at the facts of the matter?

INFERNO Question:

What Success in their Life do they have, to try to determine yours? What gives them that right to do so?

INFERNO Answer:

They have been Successful at keeping their own Success at bay, and they want to try to keep yours at bay too.

EXCEPTIONS:

There are folks out there who will want you to become Successful and be your biggest cheerleader. But this Business will be simply not for them. They will encourage you and tell you to Go for It!

These folks will be great Consumers and Referral Sources for your MLM Products.

But for the Most part, many folks will decry your joining a Network Marketing Company as a:

Silly Dream.

INFERNO BRUTAL Question:

What Life do you want to end up with? Depends on who you listen to. If you listen to someone who dared to escape the Rut Jungle, and Rat race, and dared to make 100,000 dollars a year, you have a good chance of doing just that yourself.

But if you listen to your negative friends, take a look at their life, their car, their home, their vacations, as that is where you are headed.

The MLM Leadership Secret:

Leaders never listen to any negatives as they know why they are there: to stop them.

You need to take a SHOT for the NegativeFlu out there.

You know what the word STOP stands for?

See How Others Triumphed. (SHOT).

And then copy and model their Success Focus, their Attitudes, their Habits, and Actions.

Innoculate yourself, and then your group with a FLU SHOT!

Which stands for: Forget Loser Urgings -- See How Others Triumphed!

INFERNO Secret:

Take others with you! When Folks start being Negative, ask them: How would you like to radically change your situation? I can help! As you go up the Ladder of SUCCESS, take them with you.

And your Success probably will go through the Fire of Ridicule, as well, and it's normal.

If you were going to open up a restaraunt, copy shop, or a retail store, there are people who would try to talk you out of it. DO NOT LET THEM DO IT! YOU DESERVE SUCCESS!

INFERNO Secret:

YOU, and YOU ALONE, will live your life. Do not let someone else try to live it for you because what you are trying Intimidates them. Get a FluShot! And Keep your Success Health Healthy, and your Business long after you join your MLM Network Marketing Company will continue to GROW to Massive MLM Success!
