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,

MLM Training is essential for your downlines because it’s important for them to understand what your company is all about and it should be a top priority for MLM companies even if there is a small number of downlines.

The MLM training usually start with an introduction of what the MLM Company is, the products or services that they sell, their marketing strategies or techniques, and how much commission or payment you can expect to receive.

Firstly, you must also give your downlines all the resources they need such as promotional materials, brochures, conference call sessions, follow up tips and ensure that they are aware of the different promos and updates on the company so they can offer the best suggestions to their customers. You should also consider introducing them to the persons above them so that these people can help them get to know more about the company and give them useful tips and hints on how to sell effectively.

Secondly, some tools can assist you greatly in MLM training. For example, telephones and teleseminars could give MLM downlines opportunities to share their knowledge with their members and also MLM members can make use of these networking sessions to offer the company’s products to potential prospects.

The technology today enables your members to connect to their customers effortlessly. Example are social networking sites like Yuwie and Facebook. Blogging is also a good way of keeping in touch with your team. Knowing this, you should utilize the tools or technologies that are available like giving those materials which could show them the advantages by joining your downline, video clips by the company CEO to make your company looks credible and many more.

If you are in the MLM business, you would have experienced this frustrating problem where you recruit one person and it seems that two others would leave. You probably have wondered why it is so difficult to get your MLM downline to stay active and increase your downline retention rate.

We focus all of our time and effort on the toughest parts of building the MLM business, which is recruiting new downline members. Yet we forget to take action on the easiest and most important part: following-up on our existing downline members.

Your goal for your MLM business should be to improve the downline retention in your team and to be a strong leader for your downline. Let’s take a look at three critical strategies which you can incorporate in your MLM training to make sure your downline stays active for years and not months.

Firstly, follow-up is following-through. Just because someone signs up in your MLM Company does not mean the sale is complete and you can forget about it the next day. You have to follow-up with your new downline member within five days. Make an effort to call them within five days to ensure they are happy, are happy with the product and they will appreciate it. If they want to build the business, make sure that the resources are available to them. Remember that helping them is equivalent to helping yourself. Besides phone calling, you can automate your followup process with weekly newsletter. This can be easily setup with an autoresponder program.

Secondly, you could keep a database on members in your MLM downline because as your business grows, it will become hard to keep all downline data and their individual needs in your head. You have to create customer information such as their goals, accomplishments or even something that is not related to your business. I assure you that they will be really surprised and impressed when you can still “remember” their personal information when you follow up. The Dream Team Formula back office offers you exactly that, you can add downlines to unlimited levels and email them through our hosted solution.

Lastly, you could develop a close relationship with your downline. Try to be genuine in your concern for your members and show them that you are their friend, not just in it to get their money. If you provide great value through concern for them as a friend and deliver high quality customer service, you will find your members working hard and staying active as long as you want.

If you want an active and profitable downline in your MLM business, remember in your heart that how much you can earn will be in direct proportion to your personal follow-up.

Are MLM prospecting systems really all that important?

Before we answer that question, let’s think about the importance of prospecting. Many people in the MLM business know that a steady flow of prospects is the lifeblood of your MLM business. MLM prospecting system enables you to make the whole process of getting a constant or even an endless flow of prospects to show your business in auto-pilot mode once you understand how the MLM prospecting system works. The learning process may be rocky and takes some effort but the outcome will be very rewarding once you get it running smoothly.

With a good MLM prospecting system running well, you could save an invaluable asset and a commodity that most people fall short of - time. Besides saving time, it can sort your prospects into those that are serious to work with you and the tire-kickers.

I can promise you won’t want the tire-kickers in your MLM business at all costs because they are just curious, don’t want to do work and can even kill businesses. However, you can’t afford to close them so it’s a good idea to divide these kinds of people out so you do not waste your time entertaining the wrong crowd.

Dream Team Formula automates the follow up system through the free tour page. So every new prospect is funneled through a series of pre-loaded autoresponder emails to ensure that you end up with only the most qualified prospects.

Lastly, a MLM prospecting system could be seen as insurance for your business and assurance for your prospects because it is easier for a new prospect to find success in MLM business if they have a successful and proven system to follow to gather their own prospects.

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.
