Glad To Meet You, Nerdistan. Want To Join My Network Marketing Business?

Guest post by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: Instead of our network marketing team members growing their business opportunity in their local area, they seek to sponsor recruits into their mlm from all over the world. The internet makes this global outreach possible especially with such social media sites as Facebook and Twitter.

Glad To Meet You, Nerdistan. Want To Join My Network Marketing Business?

While at the gym this morning, one of the news channels reported the discovery of two new planets that were approximately the same size of the earth called Nerdistan. Actually they were called Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f (you know how uncreated astrophysicists are when it comes to naming new planets and galaxies).

I started to have palpitations. Not from exercising. But from the anticipated phone call from one of my team members asking when do you think we’ll be able to offer our network marketing business opportunity on Nerdistan, er, I mean Kepler? My response: probably after you sponsor your first couple of reps from planet earth.

You think this is ludicrous? Well, I think having one of my team members trying to recruit from some far off country is just as ludicrous given the fact that that same team member will not make the attempt to sponsor someone in his/her immediate area. With the pervasive internet – especially Facebook with its nearly 1 billion members, the attraction to sponsor worldwide has increased to a fever pitch.

Recently I crossed paths with someone who I recruited into one of the network marketing companies I was with a while ago. I asked him what he was up to and he said that he had joined several mlm’s since he left the company we were in. He added that he recently joined another opportunity. I asked him what it was all about and he told me that he would email me the link to the online business presentation. I asked him to give me some idea of the type of opportunity he was involved with. His response was that he would not be able to do justice to his program that it would really be best if I viewed the online presentation that “they spent megabucks to create” (his words).

Come on. If someone opens the door, as I did by asking him what it was all about, it’s up to you to walk in and give your prepared SHORT spiel as to what your business is all about.

Most of us have become so internet focused that we are almost clueless to the fact that there are people to sponsor right in front of us. Sure we have become experts at using social media as long as it involves tapping on a keyboard…but presenting our business in person, one-on-one is so, so 1980’s and 1990’s. Yet is there any better way for a prospect to gage your level of excitement than to hear it in your voice and see it in your eyes. Somehow typing out a “WOW, FRANK, THIS OFFERS YOU A TREMENDOUS INCOME OPPROTUNITY”, even with the emphatic, capitalized letters will have less of an effect on Frank than looking at him square in the eye and making the same statement.

Bottom line: Talk to people across your town while continuing to develop online prospects across the globe. I do think, however, that it’s a tad too early to pack your presentation board and easel and head off to Nerdistan or Kepler-20e.

10 best franchises to get involved - My advice is: 1) Go to the library and start reading business books (accounting, finance, etc.) 2) Go to your local community college and enroll in night classes 3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce 4) Network / Network / Network -- through the above sources. Once you have spent two years doing the above, then look for a 55 - 60 year old business person that is looking to reduce their time in the business. Then you can work on a sweetheart financing option.
Network Marketing Business - Hello all, Recently, I had join a Network Marketing Business on a part-time basis. Does anyone here who has some knowledge on this type of business? I want to learn as fast as I can from all the gurus here
Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.
Re: answer this question - This is a good topic. I haven't done anything, yet, to seriously damage my business. I did shift gear though. It was the best decision I ever made. For me, affiliate marketing was not working. Making the switch to Network Marketing made all the difference.
