How To Evaluate a Company… For Better or Worse From The Audio Book - Success In 10 Steps

Start by reading your company policies and procedures ASAP!

Five Pillars
If you are looking for a company to join or simply want to evaluate the company you are already with, Michael’s 5 Pillars technology outlines a simple method to measure any company. Caution: Please do yourself a favor and answer these questions with your critical eye.

A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet, but if it is lacking any of the Five Pillars, you could lose EVERYTHING overnight. Your income and Reputation are at stake.

The correct answers to these 5 questions WILL save you years of Failure and Frustration.

Pillar 1: Does the company management have personal experience building their own networking organization? Have they done it with Integrity?
• Search MLM Watchdog for the owners of the company.
• Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word ‘Scam‘ to your search.
• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an in-the-field Network Marketing background?
• Read your “Policies & Procedures” and “Terms & Conditions”;
both are part of your Legal Contract.
• Look for the word “Ongoing”.
• Look for policies that strike you as “Unreasonable”. Like “Termination, with or without cause”.
• Ask yourself “Does this contract protect me or the company?” “Is it clear which way it leans?”
• Does the company charge you for training or a company web site?
• Does the company charge you for each paycheck they send you?
• Rules of Thumb:
• The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you
are being hidden in “Legalese”!
• If it’s a “Cash Only” business…It’s a MLM Scam!
• If you can buy a position at the top…It’s a MLM Scam!
• If you are offered a “Special Deal”…the playing field isn’t level for all.
• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly reduced price…Buy there instead.
• If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favor of the
Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors.
• Check these two websites: www.MLMwatchdog.com and www.MarketWaveInc.com.

Pillar 2: Timing in the company and timing in the industry. Has the company passed the “early failure” Time Line? Are the company’s Products timed with the beginning of a massive trend of consumer demand?
• Beware of “ground floor opportunities” and start-up companies.
• There should be no rush to get in on the “ground floor”.
• 99% of companies don’t last two years.
• If the company is good today, it will be great tomorrow.
• Most people don’t make money in the first two years while the company is dealing with start-up issues.
• Profit comes AFTER two years. Join then.
• Avoid companies which have passed beyond their “momentum phase” and have become household names.
(The realistic potential for big growth in gone)
• Do not join a company with a product that has no profit margin!
(i.e - a long distance service or a vinyl record company)

Pillar 3: Does the company have a Remarkable product at a reasonable price?
• All MLM companies have a good product. But, there are others available that are just as good!
• It should be competitively priced.
• The product should have both a Retail and a Wholesale price.

• Warnings:
• If the product would not sell without the business opportunity attached, it is ILLEGAL.
• If you can’t pay with a credit card and Must pay by cash or money order, it is ILLEGAL.
• If distributors collect the money while the company stays at arm’s length, it is ILLEGAL.
• If you MUST have a Retail Merchant’s account, the company is SCAMMING YOU.

CAUTION: Networking is a relationship business NOT just a sales business.

Pillar 4: Does the Compensation Plan Pay Part-Timers?
• 95% of networkers are part-time people.
Make sure that people can make a decent income working a few hours per week.
• Beware of companies that advertise how many millionaires they have created.
Make sure it’s not at the expense of those “at the bottom”. Everyone should be able to benefit.
• Take the Comp Plan Test - Ask yourself this question:
• “How many people do I need on my Team to earn a recurring income check of $500 per month?”
• There are companies out there that require as many as 500 and as few as 20.
• It’s not unusual to see well-established companies that require 150 to 350 people and
they are still able attract new distributors - Amazing! They must be sold on the product!
• If your upline won’t or can’t answer this basic question, You should Run.
• If you are making only 5% to 8% commissions on product, You are being extremely underpaid.
• If a company stresses “Recruit, Recruit, Recruit!”, You should “Run, Run, Run!”
• The purpose of any business is moving product from the company to the end-consumer.
• The majority of your commissions MUST come from product sales; otherwise, it is a SCAM.
• And if you work a plan that Does Not pay on product volume,
somewhere in the process You will lose money!
• More important: You will lose Credibility Too!

Pillar 5: Does your Mentor offer a System for Success that will work for You?
• The team you join must have a system in place that will work for everyone who uses it.
• There must be complete resources available; books, videos and audios explaining the system.
• The system should be designed to Teach The System!
Remember, you want to build your business, Not baby-sit it.
• You must take full responsibility for learning the Skill Set. Your mentor can’t do that for you.
An ‘open’ system will allow you to go upline for clarification and advice.
• If you don’t see the system working for you right away, don’t try to reinvent the wheel.
As in everything we do in life there is a learning curve. Plug in and be patient.
• Personal development should have a big emphasis in the system. This is a relationship business,
the more you know about yourself, the better you’ll relate to your clients and customers.
• DO NOT JUST MAKE A LIST OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
• DO NOT BUY LEADS UNLESS YOU ARE A SALES PROFESSIONAL.
• Purchased leads require salesmanship.
These methods do not work for everyone.
90% of our population are NOT good salespeople.
Not only that, most people don’t even like salespeople.

________________________________________
Before choosing a System, get a YES answer to: “Can I do this?” and “Will my Mentor help me?”
________________________________________

Your Mentor’s System Should:

• Be a proven System that teaches a full Skill Set, including:
• Client interface,
• Advertising/Internet know how,
• Behavioral knowledge,
• Mentoring methods,
• Industry History.
• Have Weekly Skills Training,
• Have an affordable, easy to navigate Back Office, that includes:
• A complete lead management system,
• eMail and ad copy templates,
• Capture pages combined with an auto-responder,
• Integrated ad tracking and performance comparisons,
• A Help section that makes the Back Office tools easy to understand.
• Keep you Free to build your business.
Stay away from those administrative tasks like building web sites.
• Allow you to do your own Targeted advertising. Brand Yourself!

Study this and know it inside and out! Share it with everyone you know and help them become educated too.

How To Identify MLM Scams(According to 10 Steps to Success)
An Attorney General would ask these two questions:

1 - Would a logical thinking person pay this much money for the product or service if there was not a business opportunity involved?
2 - Does the income stop when the recruiting stops?
If the answer to the first question is “No” and/or the answer to the second question is “Yes”,
then it is a MLM SCAM.
Don’t be fooled!

To keep from going to jail, avoid:
1) Cash Gifting Programs.
(It’s NOT a Gift if You Solicit It, Unless You’re a Registered Charity,
and You Report Donations.)
2) Any Program where You Receive Hundreds or Thousands of Dollars when Someone Joins, and Your Recruits Receive Nothing of Intrinsic Value They Can Hold in Their Hands.
(Information is NOT a Product!)
3) Any Program Paying You Commissions on a
Monthly Website Fee.
(Can be a red flag)

Key Points to Keep in Mind About This Industry:
• You do not have to have prior sales experience! You just need to be coachable.
• People are not duplicatable - systems are. Your Mentor MUST have a Teachable system.
• To be successful in network marketing, You must “partner-up” with a 5 Pillars company.
• Networking is a simple business; NOT necessarily an easy business.
• If You apply yourself in a Teachable system, You can be Successful.

Building Recurring Income from home is a Relationship and People Building business;
It’s also a Sales business — It is also at times a Recruiting business but there must be a product behind it!

Don’t be a victim!!! There are lots of mlm scams out there that look profitable on the surface. BUT are they legal???

Listen to Norber Orlewicz the Co-founder of MLM Lead System Pro discuss the importance of Sales Funnels and Funded Proposals:

Are you using this simple tool to make money on auto-pilot?
Today we’re going to discuss how to create a
marketing sales funnel that ALL of your prospects
get moved through so you’re making cash while
you’re eating dinner, watching a movie, hanging
out with your kids, or kicking back on the beach.

And yet 95% of network marketers DO NOT USE IT!?
Insanity!?

This simple tool will EDUCATE your prospects
automatically (kind of like I’m doing here) so you
don’t have to manually keep sending people information.

It will stay in touch with your prospects 24×7 and will
help brand YOU as the leader you need to become
if you ever want to make serious money in this
industry.

And you can literally promote absolutely anything
you want, as long as it is of value to your prospects.

And it is CRITICAL to your success.

It’s called an email auto-responder, ie. an Internet
Network Marketer’s best friend.

This is how all the top producers do business and
THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE of ANY internet business!!

Using an autoresponder allows you to have MULTIPLE
streams of income (A HUGE KEY TO MAKING MONEY ONLINE).

I personally have over 20 sources of income that ALL of
my prospects get exposed to at some point through my
on-going communication with them and it pays me
every month regardless of whether or
not they join my primary business.

There is no question here…if you want to be a top
producer you must be building YOU and your own list,
period. MLM Lead System Pro is going to teach you how to monetize that
list in the upcoming days.

Get your very own automated email auto-responder here:

Aweber Auto Responder

It’s time to start generating your own leads, funneling
them through your own professionally created squeeze
page, and guiding them through your carefully crafted
marketing funnel if you want to join the ranks of the elite.

*************************************************
Set Up YOUR Very Own Attraction Marketing System:
MLMLeadSystemPro
*************************************************

“When I started with MLMLeadSystemPro less than 2
months ago, I had no experience in network marketing.
I knew nothing about marketing online whatsoever.

In my first couple of hours I had almost everything
setup and was ready to start marketing my business.

In my first three and a half weeks I had 100 leads,
and now I am getting 10-30 leads everyday, and I’m
also getting at least one new member to signup every
single day as well!

If I was able to accomplish all that in such a short
period of time, I can’t imagine what someone with years
of experience can do with this system. And the best part
is that it’s TOTALLY scalable.”

-David D., VT

*************************************************

The other day we touched on the fact that top
earners don’t chase their family around and
beg them to join their business.

They do this and ONLY this: ATTRACTION MARKETING.
(Hopefully yesterday you went and picked up Mike
Dillard’s infamous course…this course includes
concepts that ALL top earners embrace! Here’s the
link again just in case…

Magnetic-Sponsoring

…if you don’t get this part of the equation right
then NOTHING else matters!)

Lets continue…

NEWSFLASH: you have 2 target markets.

1) Current Network Marketers

2) People Actively Looking To Get Involved In
Network Marketing

And they don’t care about your business or
how great your product is or how great a track
record your company has.

They already have a business…and 97 networkers
out of 100 that you speak to are losing more money
than they’re making!

So what is it that your prospects are REALLY
looking for?

People want to understand how to MARKET their
business so they can actually make some money,
period.

People want to find a real LEADER who can actually
show them exactly how to overcome their challenges
and get results.

Those are the 2 reasons people are going to join you…

They either see you as a leader who can help move
them closer to their goals…

Or you have a marketing system, skills, or knowledge…
that will help them make money.

When you know how to do BOTH of those things…
people will literally be sucked to you like you’re a
marketing magnet.

When you know knowledge like we teach here and on
my team…you have serious advantages over 99.9%
of the other network marketers out there…

There literally is ZERO competition.

In the Last blog post I talked about the principles that drive traffic. In this blog post I will be talking more about application. The actual methods that are out there to drive traffic. Think about it like this: You have a website and you want people to visit you on your website. The only thing is you will need to give people a method of transportation to get there.

So just like you would want people to come visit you by any means, plane, car, bus, helichopter etc. You want to give them different options to visit your site.

The Five Most Effective Ways To Drive Traffic:
1. Article Marketing- over 80% of what shows up in natural search is articles
2. Video Marketing- videos are powerful for promoting content and ranking for content as well
3. Social Media- Facebook is now #2 most visited site and twitter has moved to top 16
4. Social Bookmarking-Less interaction but more people working together to promote content
5. Press Releases- no used as often but there are hundreds of popular directories that are seo friendly

Eight Addtional Ways to Promote your website:
1. PPC and Online Advertising- Advanced and cost money
2. Software Creation- Even more advanced and cost time
3. Telemarketing- Conference calls and voicemail marketing
4. Direct Mail- Sending cards for purchases
5. Business Networking- Website on business card
6. Radio Advertising- cost money but would work if you had the right target market
7. Seminars/Webinars- Positions you as a leader and easily can send people to your site to buy
8. Drop Cards- I have a whole training on this that I can’t cover in this blog post

The Factors That You Can Control When It Comes To What People See When They Visit

Now there are two ways you can get the specifics on what exactly to create and action steps.
1 is to buy Viral Content Magic Like I did: www.ViralContentMagic.com
2 is to work with me directly and I will walk you through this. In order to work with me directly you will need to fill out the form below and include your phone number.

Hey guys. I went to LA last year and the traffic was terrible! It took me two hours to go a distance that would have taken 20 mins if I was in any other city. It was sooooo frustrating. Honking horns and getting to know everything about the person in front of you because of all of the bumper stickers.

When you are driving on the street traffic is annoying. When it comes to your website, traffic means money. You want to have traffic coming to your website like LA at Rush Hour.

Here are the Five Major principles needed to get this type of traffic and SEO rankings:

1. Relevancy- The more specific and focused the content, the higher it will rank and the more people will find it. You want specific people to find your page that are searching for what you have. Find out what people are searching for and make them keywords. Then find out what people are asking when searching for those keywords and create that content.

2. Popularity- The goal is to have more Relevant links coming to your site than anyone else. These are called back links and Search engines love back links.

3. Be Original- Be yourself and unique. If you copy somebody else people will pick up on it and never come back. Just like you people are subscribed to multiple lists and visit a bunch of sites. They know who is copying from who, chances are they saw what you saw already!

4. Social Media-Future of Media. Facebook is now #2 most visited site and was #4 earlier this year. Information is shared through social media more than ever before.

5. Buzz- All inclusive 1 through 4. David Wood explains it in the form of an equation:
Buzz = Original Content + Relevant Content + Link Popularity + Social Media

Other Factors that Determine Rankings:
The content that is on the most popular site—>with the most popular votes—-> with the best optimization—->wins against the competition

David Wood, one of the rising stars in Lead Generation online has mastered this. He has been able to rank his blog for his keywords and has put together some very interesting training that show you how to do the same. To get an exclusive look at that training visit: Article Blaster Secret. You can also fill out the form below and I will show you how to get access to this incredible system.

I was recently at an event that featured some heavy hitters in the Home Based Business Industry. Jim Berman shared this video with us and I had to share it with you. It is the Black Eyed Peas on Oprah. Enjoy:

The purpose was to show you that it starts with you. Keep your enthusiasm even when others around you do not. Eventually if you keep it up, it will catch on and momentum with develop. Keep working hard and the work will pay off.

Before you know it you will have thousands of people following you with the same momentum! Jim told us a story about how he was trying to build his company with no luck for years, but kept he never gave up! He kept on going like the little engine that could. After just a few years he now has a downline of 10,000 people and earns a large six figure income.

As I am building momentum I am constantly thinking back to this video and remembering that no matter what we must keep going. We can’t let anything stop us!

Okay guys that’s it for today. I hope you are enjoying your Friday and Enjoy the weekend. I will be back Monday with more…If you want to learn more about how to create it and sustain momentum fill out the form below.

Hey Guys,

As we all know Tiger Woods has been in the news a lot lately…..I mean a lot. My mother called me the other day and told me she has resorted to watching reruns and old movies to avoid hearing his name again! She completely stopped watching the news. Before I go any further I thought I would share this pretty funny video that has been going around:

Some of you may have found it funny and others maybe not so much. I just wanted to share it with you because it was sent to me today and there should be a lesson that comes from this….Moving on.

The reason why Tiger Woods has been in the news so much is because of one thing….consistency. you might say to yourself: “I thought it was because they are saying he is cheating”. The truth is that is only part of it. If this was Terrel Owens the story would never have even made it past sports center’s late night show.

You see Tiger has never been in the news for negativity. He has always had good sportsmanship and a great rapport with other golfers. He Had a squeaky clean image for his 15 year career and now his personal life conflicts with the image we had of him in his professional life. Gatorade has already stopped producing their “Tiger” flavor. Other endorsements are contemplating the same thing.

So what does this have to do with you and me? Good question…. As you know I do a lot of marketing on social media. Before I did so I used youtube and facebook for fun like everyone else. Lets just say that when I was in college I was a HUGE party-er and documented every minute of it.

Well as you can imagine I had a hard time getting leads from facebook in the beginning, because people wouldn’t take me seriously. How can I tell you that i am a leader in the market place and that you should follow me when you can go to my page and see multiple examples of me acting a fool?

What opened my eyes was when my father got a facebook page and told me that I should probably watch what I have on my page. He said to me “if you want to be taken seriously you need to change about 40% of what you have on your page!”. I took this to heart and made some major changes. I saw what the gurus were putting on their pages and something clicked!

I am not saying to stop having fun but you should make sure that you would not be embarrassed by what people will see when they go through your pictures. You want to still be you but just don’t get too crazy in your pictures. A good way to look at it is don’t post pictures that you would not want your parents to see.

Consistency is the key. You want to make sure that the Networking Professional you want to portray does not conflict with your personal life. You do this wrong and you will not have people endorsing you just like what Tiger is facing now.

Today’s post is not about marketing.

It’s not really about success.

It’s not really about making money…

Although I will admit, the knowledge
I’m going to share with you will
ABSOLUTELY turn you into a more empowered,
enlightened individual, who has IMMENSELY
more of an ability to create wealth…

But frankly, that wasn’t the reason I decided
to share this video this morning.

I am sharing it because I want people to
WAKE UP from the illusion that ANYTHING
is really ours…

I want people to wake up from the
attachments they have to things that
will hold them back in life, and
ultimately steal their true peace…

And I want people to understand more
about “What” they REALLY ARE, and get
beyond the veil of small, limiting
identities, which we sometimes hold
for ourselves…

If any of that sounds interesting to
you, then I highly recommend watching
this video…

Click Here

If you don’t want to have many realizations
today, or open yourself up to new knowledge,
then this video probably isn’t for you.

I will tell you this though…

Many people ask Jonathan or often wonder
how he was able to build a multi-million
dollar business before age 25, and where
did I get all this knowledge from, and
all this other stuff…

Frankly, when you understand what my friend Jonathan’s
teaching you in today’s video, you can
understand how ANYONE can do absolutely
ANYTHING with literally 0 limitations.

The realizations He has had about HIMSELF,
and his true nature, has allowed him to
pull off things in faster time periods
then most ever will…

Because his framework for understanding
the world and himself opens him up to
INFINITE possibilities.

And since it’s not just “Theory” to me,
but has actually become EMBODIED…

I understand that The world is my playground.

I am in this world, but not of this world.

And if you listen to Jonathan’s message today,
you might realize that exact same thing
is true of YOURSELF.

Here’s the video again…

I hope you enjoy it and we’ll chat again
in a little bit.
