There was a sudden silence and a feeling of shock as the world witnesses the passing of a great soul, the man dubbed as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. This child prodigy of the 70’s has evolved and become one of the most respected icon in the music industry, His music touched a million souls. His life was a great big adventure that continues to inspire thousands of his fans and followers even he is no longer with us today.

So what can we learn from Michael Jackson that would help us become our own King in the MLM industry? How can we inspire people and touch people’s lives in a way that we too, may hopefully, get near to the kind of impact Jackson did with his won league of fans? Let’s look at four lessons MLM distributors can learn from the great Michael Jackson.

Lesson #1: Man with a Vision

Michael Jackson is a man with a vision. At the young age of 5 he began to entertain people and believed in giving the best every time he hit the stage. It doesn’t stop there. Michael Jackson believed in himself without a shadow of a doubt. He believed that he could break through this racial discrimination and capture the hearts and minds of people from all races and unite them through the power of music. His vision became a reality and Jackson became a musical legend.

Lesson #2: Breaking Barriers

Jackson doesn’t impose a glass ceiling that would stifle his true potential in the music industry. He refused to acknowledge that his music is only suitable for the blacks. When the Jackson 5 started their musical odyssey back in the 1970’s, the world was still shackled by silent racial barrier and segregation of music between the races. Jackson believed he has the talent and ability to entertain, amuse and inspire people with his own kind of music. He introduced a new wave of revolution that shattered the barriers between the black and the white music.

Lesson #3: Consistent Quality

Even when Michael has become a very successful entertainer and a multi-millionaire, his passion or excellence and quality doesn’t stop. He practiced endlessly before every single performance even to his last breath for the believed in giving the best shot in everything you do in life. This is one quality that MLM distributors can learn and emulate from the King of Pop.

Lesson #4: Fighter

This might be the most valuable legacy Michael jack son for us all. His enduring spirit and belief in his own ability propelled him to move forward and strive to improve his life for he better even when he’s 50 years old, frail, sickly and buried with a 500 dollars million in total debt. When other people were too busy speculating about his upcoming bankruptcy and his financial demise, Michael Jackson kept busy on the more important things-to take charge of his life and doing whatever he can to change it for the better. Even during his last breath, Jackson was still moving forward doing what he needed to do to save his empire-to prepare for a mega exposure worldwide show which could have helped save his empire and get him out of debt. Michael Jackson was a fighter and this is a very important trait all MLM distributors should possess if we want to learn the steps to success from the King of Pop.

The passing of Michael Jackson touched all of us on a deeper level, and the love and legacy he left behind will continue to live and inspire us all.

Growing your own MLM marketing business can be a frustrating endeavor.  This can be especially true when you find yourself at the beck and call of your parent company, doing all that they demand of you.  Sooner or later you find out that this method does not work whatsoever.  The following tips will be essential for you to help grow your MLM online business the easy way.

It is vitally important to know all about the products and services that are in your MLM business.  This is the true way to be able to help your downline grow successfully.  By understanding all that is involved with your products and services, you will be able to understand why people would want to purchase what you are selling in your online MLM business.  Full and comprehensive understanding of your product will also make it easier for you to find the right people for you MLM online business when they ask questions or show interest in your products or organization.

For example, if you are marketing a weight loss program, your target prospects or audience will be people who are interested in losing weight.  Or if you are market auto services, your target audience will be those who wish to purchase services for their automobiles.

An effective system is also a very important aspect in the growth of your MLM downline.  Whether or not you will be able to grow your MLM marketing business will be decided by whether or not your have an effective system.  Finding the right people and attracting them to you and your MLM business should be easier if your system has been set up effectively.

A person who wants to ensure that his MLM business will grow to the greatest levels must be very familiar with the telephone and the process of calling people, both one on one and conference calling.  Being able to speak with prospects and people who are interested in your product or service is the most crucial element in making sure your MLM business is successful.  When there are prospects who want to speak with you about your products or services, then a growing business becomes much easier to develop and maintain.  For example, if you spoke with twenty people a day with the intent of getting at least five of those people to become interested in your products or services, that is twenty-five new people a week into your business.

Being an excellent writer is a very good way to get people interested in what you are selling.  It would be better to enroll people into your business without having to meet them one on one and speak with them individually.  You can extrapolate that by being able to reach many people and give them all the information they need to draw their interest.  That can be done by using articles or blogs, but excellent writing skills will be a total necessity for this to work.  Nobody is going to read your pitch if you can’t spell or use grammar correctly.  If you can’t describe what you’re trying to sell, how will anyone be convinced to buy it?

If you would want to reach instant mlm expert status in 2 weeks, you just need to do one simple thing—and that is to write good articles in order to promote as well as sell your products and services. If you would take a look at an mlm training system, the trainer would always mention the importance of writing good quality articles for your website, products or services. It would also help not only in attracting more downlines but also help in mlm downline retention.

Writing articles of good quality is a foolproof way in achieving mlm expert status in 2 weeks because when people read your articles and are attracted to your business as well as make them believe you are an expert, then this would help your business a lot.

If you are not an mlm expert, you can be one by doing serious research on your topic (about your product) and then create an article and publish it online. If people find yur articles helpful and useful, then you will ore often than not achieve instant mlm expert status.

Publishing your articles online will also produce instant traffic, and that is a good mlm lead generation tactic that is usually successful. Of course, the more people visit your site, the more they would know about your business which would translate to a lot of potential clients who could turn out to be your best clients.

Achieving instant mlm expert status could be possible even in just two weeks for as long as the articles you publish online have the right content—those articles would be a good tool to increase not only your sales but also your downline retention (if you have them). Even in the mlm leadership training, this advise has been spelled out and that is why a lot of businesses resort to web content articles in order to promote their products and services.

Yesterday Bob Schmidt, one of Network Marketings true servant leaders, and multi-millionaire experienced a tragic kayaking accident.

Our love goes out to Barbara and the family

Bob Was Always Willing To Share The key To The Vault

For over 35 years Bob helped to coach, mentor and share The Key to The vault with, in my conservative estimate close to 1 million distributors; first in Amway, then New Vision and finally at the company so close to his heart XanGo.

The emails I have received today are coming from all over the world, and all of them share one main theme… “Bob is the main reason I stuck it out, and I am successful in my business today!”

The Key To The Vault, was the CD series that I personally credit for keeping me in network marketing, when I had decided to retire. After listening to this 3 CD series, I decided to find a company I could believe in like Bob.

Bob Always Created Realistic & Useful Training

When I went to work at ProSTEP one of the first CDs Kevin gave me was Bob’s training called Phone Power. This training allowed me to get the “phone monkey” off my back, and I have never looked back.

In this current version, he teams up with two other network marketing greats - Candy Webb and Sherman Unkerfer.

The 4 Pieces Of Gold Bob Gave Me From The Vault

1. Sponsor Quality Over Recruiting Quantity.

Bob took time to interview some of the greatest networking leaders in history and each of them told him the same thing. Sponsor quality the first time, and you will not have to recruit quantity all the time. You can listen to Bob share his insight over at my close friend, Atticus Killough’s site. He had the privilege of interviewing Bob one afternoon. Click Here To Listen.

2. Live With Balance

Bob always made sure his spiritual life and family life received as much or more energy as his business. Bob wasn’t afraid to set business hours. He truly understood what his purpose in life was all about and lived it 24/7/365/

3. Uncompromising Character

I believe it we would be hard pressed to find anyone was more ethical, loyal and respectful than Bob Schmidt. Even though he had risen to the top in three companies, he had never raped or pillaged his former organizations, which is why is was so respectfully referred as The Ambassador of Network Marketing.

4. Pure Servant Leadership

The most valuable piece of gold was by far the fact I learned by his example that leading by serving was still cool.

Anytime Bob was at a conference, you would see his get a proud look on his face every time one of his leaders was up on stage receiving an award or passing on what he had been taught. Bob would smile and say “Now that is what it’s all about: leaving a legacy through the success of others.”

That one nugget of gold has allowed me to realize it’s all about others, and to never take myself to seriously.

Bob, you are more than my hero, you are a legend… We love you.

Never Give Up,

Troy Dooly

Do you have what it takes to become an MLM leader? MLM is a challenging business and requires lots of hard work. In order to build a profitable and steady downline you need to exhibit these leadership traits.

Determination – It is an important ability especially to MLM business. If you keep at something long enough, it is definitely bound to work out and eventually succeed. You can apply this to your MLM team by continuing to come up with creative ways together of staying on the top of the competitions even though the competitors are tough.

Positive Attitude – Keeping a positive attitude is the key to running a smooth and efficient MLM team. A good attitude can see you through the hard times and your team will be more motivated to work harder when they see a positive future which you can lead them to.

Vision – Every leader needs to have vision regardless of which business they are in. This vision allows you to see what many others may not be able to – success. Besides imparting his vision to others through sheer enthusiasm, a good leader will be able to get everyone to work towards the vision.

I’m a strong believer that anyone can be a successful leader by going through the appropriate training and experience. If you are weak in some areas, continue to work on these areas. Remember to cultivate an environment where you teach these traits to those who follow you and you will become a respectful leader.

The Dream Team Formula system is the perfect system to provide you instant credibility as an MLM leader. By putting yourself in the position to give away your personal referrals to your downlines (in 1 line vertical spill-over), you are proving yourself to your prospects and downlines that you are committed to help them succeed instead of earning quick bucks as a heavy hitter.

In multilevel marketing (MLM), your income is based not only on your actual product sales, but by the number of downline individuals you have working under you. In theory, the more downlines you have, the greater your passive revenue stream.

But too often, you work to create a good second or third tier only to have the marketers walk away. Those aren’t just individuals quitting; you’re losing a valuable investment. It is by far in your best interest to solve any retention problem in your downline.

Broken Dreams
MLM isn’t for everyone. Some MLM businesses heavily hype their program to make it seem amazingly simple and assure recruits that they will see thousands overnight. When the dreams don’t come true, the charm is gone and the person quits. To avoid broken dreams, avoid selling them in the first place. Sell the business plan, not empty promises.

Missing Motivation
Individuals are recruited to join a MLM program. You get them signed up and turn them loose. And they quit. They didn’t join up to be turned loose. They want guidance, advice and motivation. If you’re selling the program, you need to continue selling it until your downlines are seeing their own success and can begin to motivate others.

Other Opportunities
Other opportunities might pull marketers away. If they aren’t successful fast enough with one program, another might be worth a try. Again, simply motivate and remind your downlines that there is a payoff, and share some tricks and tips to help them find success and stick with it.

Comparisons
If Sally is making ten times less than Bob, she might become disillusioned and quit. Rather than letting Sally stew about why Bob’s doing so much better than she is, help her find the reasons. Improve her techniques and possibly even mirror what works for Bob. She’ll be feeling worthy for comparison in no time.

Laziness
Unfortunately, some people are just lazy or unmotivated. While these people can make decent employees, they don’t always make the best independent workers. If you find your downlines are simply unwilling to do what it takes, consider targeting different kinds of individuals as downlines or treat your existing ones like employees. Give the lazy members of your team goals and reminders about what to do each week, and they might just do it.

Unstructured
A MLM program can feel unstructured to someone unused to working on their own time. A downline can quit if they feel they can’t make heads or tails of their time and efforts. To prevent this, offer your downlines a handbook or schedule to help them structure their time and efforts most effectively.

Bullied
If management for a MLM program is too strict or aggressive, you can lose downlines. Bullying is rarely effective for anything long term, so if your upstream is constantly putting pressure on your downstream or the program guidelines are too strict or limiting, your downlines might simply decide it’s not worth the effort.

Poor Program
Like all things there are good programs and poor ones. If you’re in a poor program that doesn’t offer enough incentives or makes things more complicated than necessary, your downlines are constantly at risk. Find a quality program that is comfortable and profitable before building a downline.

Reality Check
Sometimes downlines live in a dream of passive revenue for too long and then balk when they realize they are salespeople. If they don’t have the personality or skills for sales, they will not be successful. Sales can be an intimidating job for many, especially those without marketing or closing skills. Help your downlines learn to navigate the sales industry and you will all be successful

If you want to short cut your way to 100% downline retention even if you are an MLM newbie, take a free tour with the Dream Team Formula system. Our system works with any MLM and gives you the ability to automate your downline placement for long term profits.

Here’s a great article that I read about MLM leadership by Shon Christopher. I am so inspired by his idea that we are going to incorporate it in Dream Team Formula! We will be developing an automated incentivise system so that every leader who is using DTF will be able to reward your downlines according to the level of effort they put in.

We all have been there in some point of our career; we think we’re providing the right network marketing leadership but our downline just isn’t cutting it. We expect to get people in our group and give them a little advice and send them off from there. That is when the inevitable truth becomes clear, you’re being a strong network marketing leader and your downline isn’t doing anything. However, before you start pointing fingers and giving up on your group you had better take a look at your so called “network marketing leadership.”

Before you start putting down your network marketing downline ask yourself a few questions first. Ask yourself what you may not be doing and how you can better yourself and your group. If you expect to build a downline and then have them do everything from there on you are WRONG. Read More
