Sales Vs. The MLM System


Sales Vs. The MLM System

 

 
by Michael S. Clouse

Yes, I know to some of you, Network Marketing is about sales... And I understand the points you are probably making right now. Still, I have a real problem with all this "sales" stuff.

Why? I'm glad you asked.

Selling is an art and a profession all its own. Selling is a learned set of skills that may take years to perfect. Tom Hopkins teaches, "No woman, in a delivery room, ever gave birth to a salesperson." And back in 1979, when I attended his How to Master the Art of Selling Anything seminar, I became a serious believer! Salespeople aren't born great. Salespeople are made great!

So what's the big deal? Why not just master the art of selling and be done with it? Well, it's not that simple...

Let me explain what I mean by asking you two questions. First: What is the "one thing" that you do better than anything else? Okay... Next question: How long did it take you to achieve the skills necessary to become as excellent as you currently are doing that "one thing" you currently do? Really? That long?

Are you beginning to understand the problem?

When I decided to become a maven at this selling game, I went back to school and studied—for years. Xerox's Professional Selling Skills...been there, done that. Zig Ziglar, Roger Dawson, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, and on, and on, and on! Year after endless year, course after never-ending course; and those are just a few of the better-known classes. I won't even begin to mention all the First Interstate Bank seminars (used to work there), or the AT&T events (worked there too), I attended over the past 30+ years.

Now, don't get me wrong. It's not that I didn't enjoy the process. To the contrary—I loved every minute of it! To this day the walls of my home-office are filled with certificates, plaques and trophies; and like you, I'm very proud of my accomplishments. The problem is that learning, or worse yet, teaching someone how to sell isn't something that you or I can easily duplicate. And isn't that what we are trying to accomplish in Network Marketing?

Finding people to sell and then selling the people you find isn't duplicatable. And in Network Marketing, it really doesn't work long-term.

Frankly, we would all be better served if we would focus more of our time learning, using, and teaching, a duplicatable MLM System—and less of our time perfecting our closing skills. Because if we did, I believe we would ultimately sponsor more people (and potential leaders), earn more money, and build a bigger business than we ever thought possible.

As one very wealthy Network Marketer once put it, "If you will become the best messenger you possibly can, the message will take care of itself." Indeed it will....

All the best,

MSC

Greg Guyatt, USANA Independent Associate, USANA Health Sciences

“I've known Pete Zdanis and his wife, Dora, for over twelve years. During that time I've watch them build a successful business in network marketing and help many other people do the same. Pete and Dora are some of the top producers in USANA Health Sciences and have served as President of the Independent Distributor Council. In addition he has volunteered his time to help many others in the industry without any personal gain. I am proud to be considered one of Pete's business colleagues. You could not choose a better mentor.” 

Gail Stolzenburg, CEO, Health Coaching Professionals 

“Pete Zdanis is one of the most professional people I have ever had the privilege to meet. He is organized, straight-forward and very much wants to help every member of his team. He is very, very upline from me and I still feel like I could pick up the phone and call him at anytime and he would help me. Thanks Pete! I couldn't have picked a better upline! If someone is looking for the "secret" to this business, just read Pete's success manual that he sends to all new business owners. Read it until you are no longer looking for the "secret" and JUST DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!” 

Shelley Cristello, Networking Professional, USANA Health Sciences

“I have found Pete to be very supportive of me as a new associate. I know I can come to him with any question or concern, and he will be there for me.” 

Sue Wondrasch, Independent Distributor, USANA Health Sciences

“Pete’s leadership and guidance has proven first hand to be rock solid across our entire organization. I can personally attest that Pete’s insight and assistance permitted me to gain financial and time independence. Pete’s experience in our field of network marketing proved invaluable and has allowed me to pursue my USANA business fulltime in under one year.” 

Richard Cameron, Silver Director, USANA Health Sciences

"Integrity is the real bottom line and throughout my 16-year business and personal relationship with Pete and Dora Zdanis, they exemplify this critical leadership trait in all that they do. They listen before they offer advice, they are generous and giving without needing reciprocity, they put others' interests first, they are tireless mentors and stewards, and they are well-informed, as well as always upgrading their knowledge in the best business practices. It is a privilege to call them professional partners and friends."

Denis Waitley, Ph.D., Best Selling Author of "The Psychology of Winning" and "Seeds of Greatness", Keynote Speaker and Productivity Consultant 

“Pete, I’ve watched you and Dora from a distance as you have grown exponentially in USANA.  Your spirit of service and professionalism is amazing.  You are always there to help. Your ongoing email communications are legendary.  In my mind, you two represent the “best of the best” of this industry. Keep up the GREAT work!”  

Robert G. Allen, New York Times Best Selling Author, Financial Advisor and Speaker

10 Rules For Enrollment

10 Rules For Enrollment

- by Richard Brooke


Prospecting with integrity creates trust and respect. The intended result is to have “selling” conversations with prospects that leave them feeling heard, honored and respected – especially if they say “no.”
 

Rule 1: Don’t be addicted to everyone signing up.

Rule 2: Don’t beg. Beggars are not attractive.

Rule 3: There are four aces in every deck. What does it mean when people say “no”? It means … your approach could use work, and you are that much closer to a “yes.”

Rule 4: Be generous with your listening. Give the prospect the interest, respect and acknowledgement they demand. Listen to them versus expecting them to listen to you!

Rule 5: Be curious about people, period. What is most important to them? What do they like? What do they dislike? What is missing in their life?

Rule 6: Uncover “the problem.” Learn what they like and dislike about where they live and where they work. Learn about their special interests and their family. What is missing in their ability to support their family and interests?

Rule 7: Take baby steps. Tell them you’re convinced you can solve the problem with them, and ask if they would be willing to just take a look at a solution. Never insinuate or leave it to interpretation that they need to decide to join. Just ask them to look.

Rule 8: Present The Four Year Career® plan with passion. It’s your positive, convicted, confident, enthusiastic, proud, candid, honorable, honest, and authentic energy that sells. Not so much what you say, but how you say it.

Rule 9: Ask them to act now. If you believe in your solution to their problem, ask them to act now. Procrastination is the #1 killer of all accomplishments.

“I know a way that you could have done that. Would that interest you enough to take a look?”

“I’m involved in something that I know could resolve that for you. Would that interest you enough to take a look?”

“You would be really excellent in this program I’m involved with. The income you would earn would resolve that for you. Would that interest you enough to take a look?”

“I know a way that you could earn the extra income to handle that, say $______ to $______ a month. Would that interest you enough to take a look?”

Always refer to the business as a program or a “something.” Do not call it an opportunity or a business.

Be confident and speak with conviction about the program’s ability to solve their problem.

Rule 10: If they say “no,” let them go … after you ask them who they know that is a _________. (leapfrog them)
