Network Marketing Training- The MLM Success Secrets of Strik
By Doug Firebaugh
by Doug Firebaugh
The question all new Network Marketing Distributors ask when they get started is:
“Who Do I Know?”
In this mlm training article, we are going to go over the contact list. This is where you start “Digging for Gold” in your network marketing business!
Every name that you know is a gold mine. and most never dig it. This article will help you understand where the gold mine really is in your relationships.
INFERNO Secret:
It is NOT who you know. It is who your friends know, and then who THEY know, and then who THEY know, and then who THEY know.
It is called "Generations" in a memory jogger. You MUST dig into the generation structures of your memory jogger, and understand that it is sometimes 2-3 generations deep before you strike gold.
Your friends are a valuable resource to your dream, and many will help you build it if you ask them. These are people you want to begin sharing the life-changing message and products/services of your mlm company with immediately.
You will want to write down at least 25 people to start. And then build up to a list of 52 names, and eventually 100 or more.
Why 52 names?
There is nothing magical about the number 52, but it is used to help create a mental picture. The number 52 represents a deck of 52 cards. With your mlm program, you can reach upper network marketing leadership levels with the right leaders.
So picture yourself with a deck of 52 cards. You know that somewhere in that deck there are 4 “Aces,” and you need at least 3 Aces to maximize your success initially. You don’t know where the Aces are, but you know they are somewhere in the deck.
Imagine turning those cards over systematically one at a time, searching for those Aces until you find them. Go through your list of 52 names one at a time… Just remember that there are also a couple of “Jokers” in every deck!
It may take one person 37 cards to find the aces, another 45, and then another all 52. But the aces WILL show up!
INFERNO Secret:
If you continue to flip the cards over, you WILL find the aces. If you contiue to talk to people, you WILL find the aces.
This next step should be done with your sponsor face-to-face or on the telephone.
You will find that there are basically three people you will be talking to:
1) The people that are Motivated.
These are 20% of the people. They are motivated to grow, improve, and to increase who they are and where they are going in life. They will be very interested in what you have to say.
2) The people that are Curious.
These are the 30% of the people. They are curious about what you have to say, and curious about finding out more about your products. Many of these folks will end up being customers as well as distributors in your mlm business.
3) The People that are not interested.
These are the 50% of the people that simply are not interested in change and growth, and will not really listen to what you have to say. Get referrals if possible, sell them your products, but move on! They like where they are in life, and want to stay there for now. That could change. Don’t take it personally.
You want to find the people that are motivated for your network marketing business, and talk to them. They are the ones that want to do something with their life. The curious will want to know, and the uninterested will want to be negative. It will take a lot of conversations to find the motivated, but you will need a tool that can help you construct your mlm contact list.
INFERNO Secret:
Quit looking for the people you are looking for, and start looking for the people who are looking for you.
Here is a VERY brief MLM Memory Jogger List that we used for years and the complete listing had over 1000 "joggers" to help the new distributor remember who they have forgotten.
INFERNO Secret:
To double the size of your list immediately, ask one simple question: "Who Do I know that they know?"

What Everyone Should Know About How To Buy Wholesale
By: Melanie Burns
Finding a supplier for the product you want to sell, at a price that you can profit from, can be a big task. The best suppliers for your online sales or auctions do not advertise their services and often cannot be found online.
Those that you can find online tend to be middle-men. It is often difficult to get a good enough price to make any real profit online.
Let me tell you about my simple 2 step system to find an untapped source for wholesale suppliers. This is so simple that it's often overlooked as a source for product. This system involves thinking outside the box and not letting policy stop you. (continued below)
The First Step to find a supplier is to find someone that already sells or has access to what you want to sell. This could be a website, an eBay seller, a manufacturer, a wholesale outlet, or a regular store in your city. This is the easy step. You know what you are looking for and you can search on the internet, not for a wholesale source, but for anyone already selling what you want to sell.
Another valuable source for a local supplier is your local phone book. The yellow pages are the best way to find local sources. This should be the first place you look. Doing business locally with someone that you can meet face to face is a big plus for your business.
Another potential source for your product is to find a distributor who would be willing to private label a product for you. You could get a very high quality product for a much lower price than if it had the name brand label.
The Second and Key Step is to convince the source you found to become your supplier.
Manufacturers and wholesale sources often have minimum orders that might be beyond your reach if you are just starting out. Online retailers, eBay merchants, and retail stores may be your best bet. Try to find a small store who is looking to expand.
But remember, you are dealing with a human being and they can be convinced to do business with you. Just be sure to sweeten the deal for them. One way is to offer the person you are dealing with at your new found source, a percentage of your profits from the products he supplies you.
Be sure to project it out for him. If he can see the benefit of working with you even though it causes extra work for him, you can be successful in making a deal.
You could offer him 20% of the profit from sales of his products. For example you could show him that you project to make at least $100 profit from each product, and you expect to sell 40 of them per month. The $4000 a month means an extra $800 per month in his pocket. You still make a nice $3200 profit for the month in this example.
On top of that, he will be ordering more products from his supplier and may be eligible for a higher price break from them. This way, his reward for the effort to work with you, is making money on both sides.
There are many benefits you can offer your potential supplier, but no matter how you look at it, the main thing it comes down to is MONEY. What's in it for your potential supplier to do business with you? If can you show him that, you have a better chance of making a deal with him and starting your online sales.
NOTE: When looking for suppliers around your city, don't go trying to impress the big stores with your $800 or even $3,000 extra income per month proposal. Try going to the little stores that are looking to expand their business, they are the ones that are usually more open to new opportunities.
The big stores are making hundreds of thousands of dollars per month in profits, so an extra couple of thousand would probably not impress them the least bit.
So now you see that by thinking outside the box, you open the door to many possibilities and increase your ability to make money online with your products.
