Ann Sieg's Renegade Network Marketer for MLM moms

There used to be few people who were willing to tell the truth about Network Marketing. It wasn't like most of Network Marketers were dishonest (although some were) but that it was a secret.

Objections like "nobody makes money in Network Marketing", "I don't have enough people to talk to", "I don't have time", etc., weren't address with "yes, and let me tell you why". At least not in the way that Ann Sieg does.

Many moms get into Network Marketing with false expectations. We think we can make the time to do our presentations while raising our children. We hope our list is going to give us all the associates we need to take our businesses off the ground. Not always happens like that.

As if our children weren't motivation enough to be successful, we keep looking for a big enough why. The Renegade Network Marketer along with the Seven Great Lies of Network Marketing explain why some of us didn't have success with traditional methods in Network Marketing and why we can build a successful MLM business online.

Ann Sieg's books and system are some of the best allies we can have in our businesses.

Free leads: where can you get them? Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler show you!

There are places online where you can find people who are interested in what you have. If you have ever paid for leads, you know that the best ones are not cheap. Imagine if you can get them for free.

That is what Internet Network Marketing is about, using the Internet to attract people to you. It’s about making it easy to find you, given that your prospects are looking for what you have.

Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are two of the best (and real) leaders in Internet Network Marketing. I’d say they are THE leaders. And one of the most important things about them is that they teach by example.

The new leadership in Internet Network Marketing is based in teaching. In this video, Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler teach us how and where to find free leads:

MLM tip: “Everyone fails in Network Marketing!”

This is one common objection. Many people are turned off by the words “Network Marketing” because they have come to think that everyone fails. Well, maybe not everyone but a good 97% of Network Marketers.

In a different post I gave 5 reasons why people fail in Network Marketing. I used the word “fail” as in “stopped doing it”. Sometimes this also means “…and lost money”. We all have heard stories of people not making money with an MLM business and ending up with a garage full of products nobody wants.

But what is the definition of “fail”? In Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of “fail” is “to lose strength…to fade or die away… to stop functioning normally… to be unsuccessful… to be deficient”, etc.

It’s genius! When people “fail” or are unsuccessful in Network Marketing is because they lose strength, stop functioning (working) or lack something (time, money, training, etc.) This is a business like any other, and like any other, it can take quite a while to take off.

If most people fail, is there something we can do to beat the odds? This video from Tim Sales gives an answer. The next time you hear or read about this, think about the difference between failing and quitting.

Is Network Marketing sales? Part II

There where many things that attracted me to Network Marketing (residual income, social interaction, helping people, high quality products, self improvement, etc) but selling wasn’t one of them. When I realized that I was in sales I didn’t like it.

Thankfully my upline introduced me to the teachings of Tim Sales. He does a marvelous job explaining why selling is communicating. Turns out that, by being a wife and a mom (and all my other roles in life), I was selling day in and day out. Now that was a shock. But it allowed me to see that I did have sales skills and that I could improve them by learning how to be an effective communicator.

A good salesperson only sells to those who will buy. I recently read in Entrepreneur Magazine that the sales give you the money and the marketing is the fun part. Marketing allows you to present your message to as many people as possible. What people? Only those who want what you have.

Although Network Marketing is not door to door sales (unless you choose that method), we do have a product and we do get commissions every time someone buys them. One advantage we have as distributors is that we are familiar with the products and its benefits, as well as many aspects of the business. By learning and communicating (or sharing) valuable information you become a consultant; which sounds even more professional than saleswoman.

Is Network Marketing sales? Part I

When I was introduced to Network Marketing my biggest objection for was that I didn't want to be involved in sales. I was confident that I didn’t have sales skills and couldn't even sell a piece of candy to a starving kid. So, when I was introduced to the concept of sharing, everything started to make more sense.

I got involved in MLM because the idea of building a residual income was too attractive: income that you keep on receiving even when you are not working? Sign me up. I could work hard for few years. In any case, sharing could not be that bad.

At the beginning I didn't understand very well what people I had to call. I thought that "the list" was going to be given to me or that I could find it online just like that. Turns out I had to make the list. No big deal, I knew at least five people who couldn't say no. But they did.

So sharing wasn't enough after all, huh? Still, I got offended if someone would ask me about the products I sold. I didn't sell! I shared! That was until I came to the stunning realization that when someone gets a product from me and I get the money, that is selling. I was in sales after all. Network Marketing is sales after all...

Are you frustrated with Network Marketing?

You know Network Marketing is an opportunity for the average person to build a Residual Income and really help others. And you probably did everything you were told: went to training meetings, used your product and learned about it, drove people to the presentations, invited friends for lunch, etc. And still, the result was little to none success. Now, that is frustrating. And yes, I’ve been there and done that. I’m a frustrated Network Marketer too.

It’s called "Network Marketing" for a reason: you market in your network. You network first, market second, right? Wrong! Marketing has to be at the center of your business. Effective Marketing attracts people to you, instead of you approaching them.

So, where do you find enough people? In the Internet! Prospects come to you because they are looking for what you have and see the value in your information. They are pre-sold.

That is what Ann Sieg proposes in her book The Seven Great Lies of Network Marketing. It’s provocative and sassy. But it also tells it how it is. It’s intended for people who are looking for a more effective way to build a downline. When I read it I not only felt related but understood. I wasn’t so wrong after all! I didn’t need a bigger why after all! The secret is in the Marketing. Attraction Marketing, that is. And this book is a cornerstone in the new era of Network Marketing: Internet Network Marketing

So, if you are a frustrated Network Marketer, you have hope. There is a better way. Grab a copy of the FREE e-book “The Seven Great Lies of Network Marketing” now. Stop your frustration and start the satisfaction of Networking!

Why people fail in Network Marketing? 5 simple reasons

It's known that 97% of people fail in Network Marketing. It's actually one of the main reasons some people use to damage the image of the industry. But we don't deny it. We fight it and try to make it to the 3%. We try to understand the reasons so we don't make the same mistakes everyone else is making. So, why do people fail in Network Marketing and what can we do?

There are many sources that explain the failure in MLM. Ranging from 1 to 10 or more, leaders give reasons that I summarize in five because of their similar nature:

1. Lack of education and training : we could say that everything can be resumed in this one because we should learn the basic principles of the next reasons in this area. It includes the things that we don't understand at the beginning of our careers, like the need to change mentalities (from employee to business owner) and all that comes with that: treating our business like a business, the importance of daily motivation, the need of a marketing plan, the different strategies we can use, etc.

2. Lack of money: Yes, we all want to make money. I bet that's why you signed up, right? (I know I did). Part of that business mentality means that we need a budget, especially for marketing since is the most important activity.

3. Lack of productivity: Some leaders mention activity, but there are many Network Marketers out there filling their days with activity that doesn't make them money. Productivity is what we need to succeed and defeat failure.

4. Lack of realistic expectations: If someone told you this was easy, I'm sorry. It's simple, but it doesn't mean is easy. It takes work and dedication. And even though it IS possible to have immediate success, not many people have the skills to do that. For most of us, simple humans and busy moms, it's going to take effort and patience. And that has to do with understanding exponential growth (as part of the training, reason#1)

5. Lack of marketing: Now this is the big one. Again, we go back to training because we should focus more in learning how to market and more importantly, WHAT to market, since the beginning of our careers. And not only learn but do, so we can really "earn as we learn". Marketing is at the core of our business. Without it, we have nothing. With good marketing tools and system (yes, we still need one) we'll never run out of prospects. Even better, qualified prospects, the ones that actually want to work with us.
