Since the beginning of my marketing , whether part time or fulltime as I am now, I have always had a few different income streams.

From the tools and resources I recommend to my readers, to my primary network marketing business, to my day time job and now pensions. It just makes sense to have some strategies that offer income or investment growth while you maybe focus on your primary business.

Right now my primary revenue income comes from my Enagic business  and that is support by my pensions – lucky me. Come on, I’ve lived and worked pretty hard for those! So I am pretty comfortable without too much work. I worked for both of those pretty hard in my past, I can tell you.

For Enagic now I am beginning an offline seminar presentation programme in the UK if you would like to come and meet up – they are FREE and you will definitely get a flavour of what I do to build my network marketing business offline as well as an idea of how we work online too.

Anyway. What else do I do?

Well, I have affiliate interests in Lead Pages and Aweber  and I hold some cryptocurrency which has a low key referral programme.

And in the past I have referred people into online training programmes which has helped my readers with their social media marketing but also given me a little bit of side income to my primary.

I am always open to other things but tend to stay away from MLM or Network Marketing businesses that could take my attention away from my primary or show my team members that I don’t believe in the legacy nature of Enagic. Because that is my long term, legacy business that I will leave to my wife and family when I am gone. It is truly a long term, generational business with a quality product that offers us residual income.

Having a multiple stream of income strategy doesn’t mean one thing has to compete with another, if you plan your portfolio correctly.

For Crypto I am holding something that could make me a millionaire within a few months or it may never happen – I can share that with you if you are interested (not an affiliate just contact me directly) – but I don’t depend on it and I am pretty comfortable that I lose or gain a few dollars. Every business or investment has risk, right?

The main thing is for me, I have a few irons in the fire and some will work and some won’t but my primary business WILL and DOES work if I put the work in. I don’t depend upon anyone else. It is NOT speculation. It is assured if I maintain my activity and focus.

Everything else is a bonus side line which I can benefit from without too much effort apart from an initial investment and a little patience.

However, if you are into trading in financial, stock or crypto currency markets, then indeed you need to have your wits about you and keep your eye on the prize minute by minute. So be careful out there!

That isn’t for me. Far too much time required and I enjoy my golf and travel!

What I do not recommend is to have multiple MLM businesses. I just feel that to do that you are going to confuse your followers and team members. Most definitely not more than one in one particular niche. Most popular are health niche products. It would be best to focus on one product in that niche only. I know there are multiple solutions to health issues but MLM requires focus and team leadership. Just pick one and really go for it…. 10 x as Gant Cardone would say.

I am pretty open on this website where my focus is on my income streams. There are pages in here that lead you to them.

If you want to get into an ethical high ticket affiliate programme – give me a shout or GO HERE

or if you would like to see how you can invest a small amount in the CRYPTO space for investment purposes – then CLICK HERE

Whatever you do, make sure you weigh up the risks and then GO FOR IT! If not 10 x at least 5 x.

Having those side hustle safety nets can definitely give you some assurance later on , as I discovered when I suffered redundancy and property loss due to the property crash at the same time!!

Thank God I had my Enagic business that has underpinned my financial recovery for 10 years!!

Enjoy a great day today and good luck with your business and investment choices. I wish you all the best for a very successful future.

The post Multiple Streams Of Income? Are You Invested? first appeared on Pete Chapman.

Life is full of those sliding doors moments, don’t you think? Remember that movie, Sliding Doors?

Two scenarios took place. One where the character rushed to catch a train after being fired from her job and caught it and another when she missed it. Circumstances effecting her life changed dramatically, one where she ended up miserable and the other where she gradually improves her life.

How many times have you asked those questions? If only I had taken that decision or moved in that direction.

I remember Tony Robbins sharing with us that;

“It is in our decisions our destiny is formed.”

It is true, isn’t it? Each and every day we make decisions, from deciding when to get out of bed, what actions to take during the day etc.

Too often though we refect too much on the past and regret some of those decisions we made. I can certainly look back at some of the decisions I have made with some regret. However I know this to my cost that too much reflection can cause dither and loss of forward momentum. We can completely stall our future goal achievement by investing in too much regret.

This is very much a business blog designed to help people move forward in their network or affiliate marketing businesses of choice. So how can What if, Maybe reflections cause you to stall in your forward thinking and goal achievement?

Well, sometimes we can just fail to take action because we previously didn’t succeed in something totally unrelated or perhaps certain strategies haven’t worked out. Maybe teachings didn’t suit you but did work for others?

But we just need to accept there are pitfalls along the road to success. You have seen the success memes, right? The icebergs and the 3 feet from gold visuals?

For us as network marketers those shiny object temptations are always there to tempt us away from our good decisions of the past. Sometimes hard work begins to chip away at our belief and we can walk away from something that works towards something that promises us instant riches when in fact it is just as hard work when we strip away the shiny new  wrapping paper.

Let’s think about this indecision and doubt.

If it is to be it is up to me

That was a motivational quote on each table of a network marketing company seminar I went to many years ago. A company that I was the top retailer for in the 1980’s. I worked my nuts off to live that dream until the day they pulled the plug.

I did the same for Success University. Boy, I learned a ton of stuff from my mentor about email marketing and solo ads and just as I was about to push through and win at last, the plug was pulled and it went under.

But all the time that was happening, I was learning. I was building up my network marketing C.V.

I didn’t stop and ask What If? I moved on to the next opportunity and have ended with a residual income from my current business, something I have been active in for nearly 10 years.

All the time during those 10 years I have been tempted by friends to move onto something new and tempting. I just never saw the need. But sometimes, when there is a lull in sales, like during the Covid-19 pandemic, perhaps a What If comes along to tempt me.

Then my decision making just maybe, maybe, might create one of those sliding doors moments. Do I stay or do I go…. and of course, I have always stayed because the business I have has hundreds of people just like me who are still believing they can achieve their dreams through our current project!

I feel a responsibility for them. Just like my 3 children, my step children, my 9 grandchildren, I feel a responsibility for setting a good example. My network marketing team have trusted me either directly or indirectly and that is sometimes how leaders fail.

As a network marketing sponsor you take on other peoples dreams. They are often sold that the opportunity we promote, not always by sponsors but by companies, that lives can be changed for the positive , either through the products or through the compensation plans if they just buy into something.

That often means people just think that buying something leads to success, when in fact it requires hard work.

One of my mentors in my main opportunity has 1.6 million high ticket sales under them and a residual monthly income of high 6 figures! Do you think that happened without hard work from them or their team leaders? NO! It requires total commitment. No Maybe’s or What If’s. Full on commitment. Total determination and application.

Why am I writing this post?

If you have read this far, you can probably tell that I have had a bit of a moment of decision making. When I have looked at where I am in business, I have realised that IF IT IS TO BE, IT’S UP TO ME!

I am not going to be looking back at my network marketing business in a couple of years and think, What If or Maybe, I recognise that my financial destiny is in my own hands and I do not need to look elsewhere for my fortune. It is already within my reach.

Where are you on your network marketing journey? Are you where you want to be? What is stopping you?

I hope you can look at the posts within this blog for guidance to achieve you goal but whatever you do, don’t give up. On the other side of effort, the rewards are amazing.

BE YOUR OWN CEO!

The post What If? Maybe first appeared on Pete Chapman.

How I Was Attracted To Network Marketing?

It was the money. I make no secret of it. Right from the beginning as a young family, my wife and I needed extra income. From party planning plastic, costume jewellry and beauty products to beginning to build an online business with digital products, we began because we needed an extra income.

People sold us the efficacy and the uniqueness of the products we were promoting, but the reality was, we were searching for business builders to increase our outreach across the U.K. and, eventually, across the world!

So our focus was yes, we shared the product in home parties and demonstrations etc, but our primary search was to find ambitious people who wanted to take it to the next level.

Where is the Focus on Network Marketing Training Nowadays?

All the generic training is all about business building, recruitment. You only need to witness the rise of people like Eric Worre and Ray Higdon to see that.

There is a whole new digital industry on recruitment for the nework marketing niche.

Why? Because that is what people want. That is what they find the hardest. Knocking on doors and selling Avon etc, that is acceptable home business practice nowadays. Recruiting ambitious network marketers? That is a totally other kettle of fish.

So the Network Marketing companies educate their people on product, the network marketing millionaires focus on recruitment, either in their own business or generic training for others.

Residual Income Generation

Residual income doesn’t come from selling potions and collecting silver coins. etc.  It comes from building teams that duplicate.also means constency, team building over the long term, blood sweat and tears.

In my own business I have what may be called retailers achieving their first significant leadership position after 5 to 6 years and others who have done it in 3 months to 2 years. What is the difference?

The longer group focused 95% on the product. The shorter group 75% tp 95% on the business opportunity.

Both sold lots of product and benefitted customers with the product but one group did it the easier way by finding and helping people to build a residual business.

I always say, it is easier to sell 5 products to 20 people than 100 products to 100 people and you get the same result if you help people to understand how to recruit and duplicate themselves.

So My Question To You Is – What Are You Going To Be From Now On? A Business Builder or  A Retailer?ver

Over the last couple of years on this blog, I have shared ideas on duplication and networking to increase business. What kind of thing do YOU need to increase YOUR Network Marketing business to a level you would be happy with?

Please comment below and then let’s see if we can do something about that for you.

The post What Are You Promoting – Opportunity or Product? first appeared on Pete Chapman.

Do you have a plan? For Network and Affiliate Marketers we need to be realistic. It isn’t just about joining something. It is about putting in the work. Smart work.

To work smartly we need to have:

1. SYSTEMS

Whether online or offline in our marketing activity , we need to have systems. Whether that is an old fashioned planner, diary and phone list or an internet emailing autoresponder etc. We need to be organised.

My business is all about using social media, blogging and emailing strategie. So I need the right tools to do that. I have developed these over years of experience and I am still learning and updating. But you really need your systems to be workable for you

2. ATTITUDE AND DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED

Being successful is much more than just having systems. You know that, right? I am sure you do. So many people start with a dream of being successful, are offered decent systems to work their new business, but fail to follow through.

Lots of theories on this. The shiny new biz opp, lack of belief or fortitude, whatever it is, the reality is that if we don’t go into a business with a really good attitude and a steely determination the slightest obstacle can put us off.

My friend Tim has had all sorts of troubles getting his business going. He has suffered with a debilitating brain injury but was determined not to let it hinder his business progress. This week he made his first sale in a long while and he has a right to be proud of himself. That one sale can lead to a passive income for many years. The rewards of not giving up.

So, if you are to be a winner in this affiliate or network marketing world, you are going to have to develop a thick skin and a never give up attitude.

You Have The Systems and the Right Attitude – What Next?

Well my advice is:

1. Set a realistic, minimum income goal for the end of your first 90 days (or 90 days from now)
2. Know your commission structure – at least to a level where you understand how you can achieve that realistic minimum monthly income goal
3. Work out the daily activities you need to do to achieve the results you want

For example, once you know what you are wanting to achieve and you have developed or adopted your systems, then you should be able to figure out what actions you need to take and what outcomes you are likely to achieve.

I loved the teachings of Jim Rohn on ratios. He taught that to speak to 10 and get 1 sale or one attendance at a public meeting is a good effort. So if you want 10 you need to speak to 100.

What is your ratio?

If you need to send out 1000 emails to get 1 sale then you need an email list of 10000 to get 10 sales. So your plan should be to email a list of 1000 people every day to get 1 sale and if you want more sales then you need to build up your email list, right?

Yes….. remember. You have to speak to strangers to make new friends.

If you are an internet marketer. How do you build up an email contact list?

How I build my list

1. Blogging

Yes. This blog and website has capture systems that build my email list. You can do this for free with a free wordpress site or a premium one like this. It can be a generic site or a product specific blog. You just need to share good stuff and link your blog to social media and have a capture system within your site so people join your mailing system.

2. Facebook Page

Yes. You can create a FREE Facebook business page and link that to your blog or email marketing system. Again. Just post interesting stuff on Facebook and then people may see what you share of interest and join your email marketing system from a capture page link.

3.  Solo Ads

These are purchased email ads to lists owned by sellers . There are tons of them out there and at the moment I am experimenting with different providers. Nowadays most of them offer the text for the ads for you and you can target the niche and country you want the traffic from.

I have used solo ads this last month to add hundreds of new potential business partners.

(I would be happy to share sources if you get in touch  – I am not a solo ad affiliate)

I have my ratios so now I can plan my daily activity to achieve the results I want to achieve.

For me , that is:

1. An email or two every day to different lists that focus on the products or affiliate systems that I am engaged with. The more people I email then the more sales I get. If my email copy skills improve then my ratio improves.

2. Staying up to date with my Facebook and Whatsapp groups .and encouraging engagement

3. Social media posting and contribution

4. Conference calls with affiliates giving information and encouragement (something I did just a few minutes ago with a group in India)

5. Presenting showcase events in locations in the UK on a monthly basis for an offline product and promoting them via social media etc

6. Supporting people in my groups and helping people maintain membership is crucial for me – so I am often reactive to questions and help solve problems. Retention fo rme is a biggie.

Not sure what your activity will be for your particular niche buy my advice is – stay in the game every single day. Do something, no matter how small to stay in touch with your goals.

Goal Example

Emailing

Say your medium realistic monthly goal is to earn $1000 a month and you are promoting a programme that pays you $50 a month for each affiliate that joins you and purchases a $100 a month membership programme.

By the end of 90 days – your first 3 months you need to have 20 members paying their $100.

So if you emailed 100 people a day and you get 1 sale that is 20 days of emails to 100 people to achieve your goal.  If it is 1000 a day to get 1 sale then it is the same period but just more people in your list.

So you cannot expect 1 sale per 100 or 1 sale per 1000 in this example if you are not adding to your list at the same time. So your activities should be list building AND email activity.

So whilst you can start with a small list you need to be active in building it daily to reduce the time it takes for you to get to 20 sales.

You can break your activity down to social media posting, blogging, video marketing, fb lives, fb messaging etc. But always you need to be daily active and working to your past first and then your current ratios to achieve your goals.

After 90 days, it is just a question of repeating what has worked for you and you have a system that works for the long term.

I had been made redundant from a high paying executive position and lost a fortune in the property crash of 2008 to 2010 when I lost all of my rental property portfolio. I was in a mess.

He came out of the blue on SKYPE and said he wanted to join me online and wanted me to teach him how to succeed using the internet.

He was a very successful offline network marketer earning $1000’s  a month but wanted to make some changes and particularly wanted to look at multiple streams of income strategies which my humble member site offered.

He found me with a simple google search and that began a period of learning – not me to him, but him to me.

I had begun to develop an internet mlm and affiliate marketing business which was beginning to give me a decent income but nowhere near enough to recover my debt situation.

What about providing the necessary leadership and skills training? Do you have the resources within you to be able to keep together a big team?

Have you thought that it might be YOU that is holding your business back? Do you have the necessary skills to unlock your positive self. Are you the Architect of your present and future or are you stuck in your limiting belief past?

I have been there wanting all of that. Constantly searching for solutions, a programme, that will make these changes for me.

In reality though, we need to find motivation and education to learn how to achieve all of that ourselves…. AND of course, we need mentors or a mentor who can give us the skills training, motivation and personal development who can help us overcome our fears, teach us the skills we need to be successful online, and give us the personal development architecture to have the confidence in ourselves, release the inhibitions and limiting beliefs of our past and move forward to a different life of success, freedom and a lifestyle we have only dreamed of in the past.

I did a bit of research and discovered an event application site, EVENTBRITE. It worked pretty well on its own for a while. I just created an event, and posted out the link to my email list, team members and hooked it up to my facebook pages.

The thing is , I was still limiting myself to the way the Eventbrite pages looked and how their invitation process worked.

What to do? Well, my friend helped me there. First of all we created a funnel for the events using clickfunnels and it looked pretty fancy to tell you the truth and it was incredibly flattering to my good self, but to be honest I found the whole click bank thing pretty complicated. So I simplified everything using Leadpages.

Now I have a single page website with LeadPages with clickable links to each of my events, currently London UK but that will be added to over the next few weeks by quite simply just by cutting and pasting different dates, times and  venues with a clickable link to Eventbrite.

So here is the website I use:

http://healthandwealthseminars.com

As always, my mailing autoresponder of choice is Aweber which links people into an informative newsletter and that links seamlessly with the single page website creator,  LeadPages.

Through those tools I can offer an opportunity to get advanced notice to events through the website and provide a PDF about my product. Not only does Aweber collect contact details for me but Eventbrite collects emails and phone numbers for me also.

Once created, and it is pretty simple and easily duplicated, all I need to do is to get the website infront of people, either people currently on my list or finding “strangers” through social media advertising and blogging.

So to recap, here are the current tools I use to build my offline business using the internet:

PETE’S INTERNET MARKETING TOOLS

These simple tools can be used effectively for online and offline business and coupled with a wordpress blog like this one, you can gradually build a branded presence on the internet that will set you up for a long term success strategy for any business, niche that you wish to get involved with.

Obviously, I hope that one day you will partner with me, but whatever you are doing I think you will be able to build a significant contact list, customer conversion and online presence that will last you forever!

Multiple Network Marketing Opportunities

This subject is often debated and Network Marketers often confuse this phrase with multiple Network Marketing opportunities. In my view, if you are promoting more than one network marketing opportunity your are running the risk of lacking credibility. The reality is most network marketing companies promote themselves as the final destination for anyone wishing to achieve financial freedom – and in most cases that can be true. So if you are promoting more than one, you are just saying you didn’t make it in the first one, so you are now promoting another. People in your first opportunity are going to say, “hey, you sold me on this one and now you are shifting focus to another. So your promises didn’t turn to reality, so why should I believe you again?”

Now I am not saying never. I would be foolish to say never will I promote another network marketing opportunity but it is a challenge to convince people that promoting multiple network marketing companies is ethical. So you need good reason to do so.

However, that is not to say I would never be a customer of another network marketing company. Often their products are amazing and work really well, especially products in the health and wellness industry. For example my product, Kangen Water works well to supplement and enhance health and wellness products. So many distributors in other companies buy my product for their health,  but do not promote it as an MLM opportunity.

Affiliate Programmes

Now this, in my humble opinion, is a totally different niche. There are lots of affiliate programmes that could be useful to a network marketer in building lists, promoting personal development and skill building programmes and tools that can help people to succeed online.

For Instance I use this Affiliate Programme to help my team to progress their business using the Internet:

CLICK TO VIEW THE ACE INITIATIVE

Your favourite network marketing mentor or personal development guru may have an affiliate programme. When recommending them, why not get a little commission from it? Even if they do not have an affiliate programme you can register as an Amazon affiliate and promote your guru’s books and DVD courses from your Amazon affiliate link.

What Affiliate Programmes Are You Using?

So, if you are promoting affiliate programmes that can help network marketers build their business (none MLM please) why not add them to the comments below. That way you can enjoy some authority to your affiliate link. I will check each one out and only approve NONE MLM programmes and will not put at risk my readership on anything I consider dodgy.

Good luck with your multiple streams of income programme.

Did This Help You? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you commented below and share on Facebook

The post Multiple Streams Of Income For The Network Marketer first appeared on Pete Chapman.

What does it take to build a high performing network marketing team? Today I share a few tips that I think will help you as you build your network marketing business long term.

1. Not Everyone Is The Same

One of the mistakes I have made is presume everyone in my organisation is as ambitious as me. I was happy to learn that everyone is not the same from a training session with Ray Higdon in his RankMaker group (highly recommended and I am not an affiliate)

Only 15% of any network marketing team have an ambition to earn more than $2k a month! The rest are just customers/product based members. For me, I am in the ambitious 5% range of people who aspire to earn $25k a month plus! So always understand that you need to treat everyone differently and not assume everyone is going to be motivated by the big incomes network marketing leaders most often lead with in their marketing and trainings. So establish why the joined and then you can organise your trainings and support network around their ambition and goals rather than expecting people to be the same as you.

2. Be An Encourager – Not A Discourager

If you are a pushy so and so who just calls people to say “How many sales have you made today?”  “You are not working hard enough to be a winner” etc, you are just tailoring their needs with yours. You are just a desperate boss needing sales for YOUR ambitions not a Servant Leader who wants people to succeed according to THEIR ambitions.

I try to establish who wants to achieve rank upgrades or income targets and tailor my conversation around that rather than try to get people to do stuff to benefit me, either my rank or income.

I would rather PULL people, encourage them, rather than bully people into doing stuff they don’t really want to do.

To be honest, it took me a while to realise some of these PULL principles. I needed to identify between customers and business motivated team mates. Once I got that, my business began to work much better.

So finding out peoples WHY at the beginning is not just encouraging them to develop THEIR dreams, it is a way of ensuring you can PULL them towards THEIR dreams by being the Servant Leader they need to achieve them.

I know lots of people dream of big flashy cars and mansions but in the main, most people are not like that at all. A lot of my team are simply motivated to get some reps to pay for their product or earn enough money to get out of debt etc. That is a big dream for many, many people. Not to be in debt and have a little more money left over each month rather than just building their overdraft.

3. Recognise Achievement and Effort

I know this to be important to me. When we do something good, it is nice to get a compliment or an award isn’t it? With some organisations, it takes a long time to get recognised on the stage of a company event. So it falls upon the distributor leadership to step in and recognise achievement in their group. Encouragement, encouragement, encouragement. Just a good word for someone in public can lift spirits. Recognise effort as well as achievement.

There is an ultra successful person in my organisation who is a team leader over a whole country, yet he never made a single sale in his first year! He was persistent and never gave up. If his effort was not recognised he would have simply given up! Who do you know like that? Always be the encourager and recognise effort as well as achievement.

That phrase Servant Leader, means that you are in service to your team. Be a servant leader who recognises achievement and effort with each member of your team. If they stop doing the business, don’t let it be because you weren’t there for them or didn’t encourage them.

3. Be An Inspiration

One of THE most touching comments about me was from one of my team leaders, Pam Sewell. When I asked my team for some testimonies for a new Seminar Funnel I was producing to support my UK based team, she wrote:

“A Mentor who actually walks the walk. I would like to share how important it is to have a mentor – someone who has actually walked the walk……. this gives you confidence and strengthens your own resolve that your goal is achievable…….. when I was uncertain about myself….. Peter encouraged me to lead….”

 

To be an inspiration you just need to prove that your business opportunity works by achieving within it. I don’t like cheque waving and my company bans it, but you can achieve promotions and rank advancements in your organisation and then people can see that if you can do it then it is achievable for them also.

Also, if you are asking your team to do stuff, then you do it too! Don’t set goals that you aren’t willing to go for. Don’t ask your team to do activities that you aren’t willing to take on yourself.

To be successful as a Network Marketer achiever you need to be a Leader, not a Manager. People who aspire to succeed in the Network Marketing industry aspire to leave behind being told what to do by bossy managers. They are looking for inspirational leadership. Pulling them towards something by example and Inspired leadership not pushed toward something by bullying management!

4. Think Long Term

Success in the network marketing industry is not about a quick return. That residual income retirement comes from long term commitment and resiliance not a short term whiz bang effort. So this team building thing needs to be thought through at the beginning. What are you going to offer your future team? How are you going to keep everyone connected. What training materials can they access?

“Remember to dream big, think long-term, underacheive on a daily basis” Robert Kiyosaki

If you prepare yourself to be a leader then when the time comes, you are ready. I remember Tony Robbins saying to us that we need to mirror ourselves on the best if we are to be achievers in any industry. So who are the Network Marketing leaders you admire? Who are the business leaders you admire?

My sponsor was an inspiration to me. He was far away from me in the UK, he lives in Singapore. He taught me about honour and integrity in Network Marketing. He taught me all about serving others. Leading not managing. I visited him once a year or so for training and inspiration and we used Skype a lot. He helped my team members from South East Asia directly and he even helped me with sales in the beginning. His name is Raymond Sun. Unfortunately due to a horrific accident, Raymond is no longer able to help me, but through his inspired leadership I am now able to help him and his family by continuing to build my business and thereby helping his residual income and providing for his family.

So now, I look elsewhere for my mentors and you can see some examples of who has helped me in this post SEEKING A MENTOR TO HELP YOUR BUSINESS

5 . Teach a Man To Fish

I am sure you have heard the saying: “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish he’ll eat for life.”  Well in a team building context I recommend you teach your leaders to teach. Teach your team to present their own events. Teach them to do their presentations. Teach them to be independent.

When you have independent distributors and leaders in your organisation, your residual income is assured and so is theirs. Because as you have taught, so will they.

For internet network marketers it is the same. You teach them to build their own facebook pages, their own funnels, websites etc. How to do a webinar. How to create a video for youtube etc.

Teach people to be independent. As Ray Higdon says: Teach and you go to the Beach! Or in my case, my house and plantation in Thailand.

The post 5 Tips On Building An Independent Network Marketing Team first appeared on Pete Chapman.

How are you at inviting people to your opportunity meeting? I know it can be a little hard to pluck up courage to get people to a presentation by an upline but it WILL pay off if you knuckle down and take a courage pill or two.

So can you invite people and what do you say? There are a lots of ways you can build up excitement and momentum building up to an event. For example, I hold business opportunity events in different cities around the U.K. on a monthly basis. So I ask my team to build up excitement for them and do all they can to generate interest because I know that once people see what I have to offer, they get a little more certainty about our product and the business opportunity.

I learned a long time ago that events create momentum. That if you promote events you get rewarded. If you attend events  you receive learning and ideas and you get to master presentation techniques as you mirror and improve on what others do.

Inviting By Phone

Prepare A List – Preferably 3 figures

Did you listen to the Jim Rohn audio on How To Succeed In Your Network Marketing Business I shared previously? If not, try to do it now.

You will learn it is all about ratios. You need to get good at inviting but in the beginning it is going to take a big effort to get a few turning up as you build up your skills and confidence. So if you make up a list of 50 to 100 people and call 5 to 10 a day 2 weeks before the event and invite them you are going to find your success ratio. If you get 5 to 10 people agreeing to attend, that is outstanding! Because any one of them could be the person that takes your business to the next level.

Then call those that agree to attend the day before the event to confirm, saying how much you are looking forward to seeing them and suggesting a lunch or drink after the event.

What do you say?

Well obviously it depends upon your business, but as a general network marketing invite you could use:

“Do you have a minute for me to share something with you?”

Then; “Are you open to making extra money on a side project that wouldnʼt take away from what they were currently doing?”

“Are you open to making more money to do more fun things in their life?”

“So you know anyone that made more than $10,000.00 per month (Dependening upon sponsor) from the comfort of their home.” If they say No, ask them if they would like to meet one.

Do you notice that I am emphasising getting PERMISSION to speak to them about this – asking if they are open or have the time.

You can obviously share your own experiences or those of your sponsor or upline. For example, I have upline who are genuine network marketing millionaires, so if I want to impress a big member of the industry I can default to that. Some of my team use me as an example.

Product based questions? Well that is obviously a little difficult for me because I don’t know what product you are promoting but there are things like:

“Would you be interested in seeing how this amazing …product… is helping 1000’s of people into better health and how by doing that you can generate a full time income from home?”

To be honest, if you have done your M.I.N.T. prospect qualifying you will know the general direction you will want the conversation to go.

Do you think you can try that? I bet if you did that just once you will be really excited by the result. 2 Weeks work and your business will have taken off! You will have created the momentum and all those sign ups will know exactly what you did and you can repeat that through them.

Facebook Events

If you don’t have a facebook personal profile and business page you are really missing out. If not, do that today. From your personal profile go to Home, the Create A Page. Do it today. I would create a Public Figure page and market yourself as a Marketing Coach or some such and get posting good lifestyle stuff on there.

Anyway, from your personal profile you can create a private event easily enough and from your page you can create a public event. Whether opportunity or product based you can instantly invite all of your friends to attend your event – whether that is hosted by a sponsor or yourself. Creating interest through the Speaker’s achievements or reputation, the nature of the product, the opportunity to make a decent secondary income, all of this can be made to look pretty good in a Facebook Event.

Then you just share it with your friends and ask them to invite their friends to help you get your business off the ground. Try to send a message with your invites so they see that their invite is personal and, again, message the ones who have accepted the day before and tell them how excited you are going to be to see them and their guests.

Eventbrite Events

You can create a FREE account with Eventbrite from this link https://www.eventbrite.com/

From there it is a similar process as Facebook Events to create an event page and then email out to your prospects and email list. You can link those events to a Facebook Page too and even include EventBrite tickets to your Facebook Ticket registration.

I use Eventbrite for paid events too. They handle all the money for a small percentage. I just hate admin, so that works for me. I outsource as much as I can to be honest.

Networking and Community Meetings

It is always good to belong to groups where you can build up Like, Know, Trust . 

Local and Regional business networking groups can be very useful. I have team members who have built big teams from breakfast networking meetings. Each of those attract business owners who are always looking for new ways in which to add to their portfolio and  you just might have something of interest to them. There are a few of these you could hook up to – https://www.bni.com/ is a global one I know about. In the UK we have members using https://www.4networking.biz/ and  http://www.bforb.co.uk/

All if them have FREE introductory offers so you can get involved for FREE in the beginning and see if that works for you.

So you could invite people you meet at these to your event, similarly to your telephone strategy. Again, you only need one or two influential business people to join any network marketing opportunity to give it credibility and momentum.

Messaging Contacts

It is always better to speak on the phone or face to face but nowadays people like various messaging services. So you can use messaging services to ask for permission to share something.

“Hi ………, do you have a few minutes to listen to something I think you would be interested in? “ You can use whatever you wish, product or business or both. But ALWAYS ask for permission. When they can agree to give you a few minutes, you can share your invite to the meeting.

I hope that helps. You can use anyone or all of those strategies. The important thing is not to be addicted to the outcome.

Don’t expect anything and you won’t be disappointed. Remember, the more NO’s you get the more YES’s you will get. Once you have found your inviting success ratio, 10 invites to 1 attendance, 10 invites to 2 attendances, 10 invites to 3 attendances, you will be rocking and rolling and looking forward to the NO’s becaue you know that every 10 people you phone you are going to get at least 1,2 or 3. to your opportunity meetings.

It is just a numbers game after all. Some Will, Some Won’t. Next.
