Not only will you discover why cold calling opportunity leads and talking to friends and family no longer works (and is actually the biggest cause of failure), but you’ll also learn how you can easily have pre-sold prospects coming to you instead.

“The whole model of coffee appointments, home parties and hotel meetings completely ignores the real key to success, which is this: getting
the customer to come to you first. When the customer finds you, instead of you finding the customer, her perception of you is totally different.”     Ann Sieg, The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing

95% of people who get involved in network marketing have absolutely no foundation in effective sales techniques or good business practices. The “3 foot” rule does not work.  Talking to everyone you meet in the grocery store, bank, or restaurant will not lead to good prospects.

“No One Is Worth Your Time Until They’ve Shown An Interest In What You’re Offering And Have Asked You For More Information.“     Ann Sieg, The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing

It doesn’t matter how qualified you think a person is or how good you think they’d be at your business.  It’s not even enough if a person does want to start their own business. Until they go out of their way to get more information on how to do it, they’re just another bystander. Not a player in the game. They’re not worth going after.

If you are in Network Marketing or Direct Sales this is a report you must read.  Don’t work another day doing things the way your upline tells you to.   Read this report before continuing to do things the same old way over and over again and getting nowhere.

The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing

If you placed second in a track and field event, would you be jumping up and down in joy and work harder to get first place next time? Or, would you be discouraged and quit the track team?

In life, we are always given choices. You can choose to see life as a beautiful ride filled with wonderful challenges or view your life as just another day to bring you down, always setting yourself up for failure, and then pointing out to everyone how life is just not fair for you?  Nothing good ever happens to you!

Why not try to change your point of view, to make your life more meaningful?

Optimism has been linked to good morale,a positive mood and better health. Optimist do better in academics, athletics, military, in the work place and politically. Optimism is link to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma.

On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. Depression affects middle-aged adults the same way it affects younger people. The mean age of onset depression has gone from 30 years old to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well.

Let’s look at some characteristic of an optimist:

Optimists expect the best, they create conditions for success, constructive attitude, empowering, and refraines from complaining.

The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time and undermine everything they do, and there is nothing they can do to change their situation.

The truth is optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world as th pessimist. The difference between the two is the way they view their misfortune—their views are totally opposite. Optimist tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, the pessimist might see it as a lifetime of disappointment.

Optimists see the self as a process and seek continual improvement. Their drive to improve is not pushed by fear but pulled by a inspiring self-image.  Believing they are worthy of success and happiness.

You will never hear an optimist say “things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “I lost this race so I am going to quit this team!”

People respond positively to optimists

Optimist are attracted to positive people and situations. Seeking out those who will support and inspire, not discourage, distract, and undermine.

Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with.

In life, these people often win elections; get voted most congenial and are sought out for their advice.

When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

They persevere, They just don’t know the words “quit or give up.”  They are willing to work towards their dreams no matter what life throws at them.

Optimists are healthier and live longer

Medical research has shown that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body’s ability to fight disease. Optimists’ age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And often outlive their pessimist counterparts who are prone to negative thoughts.

So why not try to think like an optimist today? Think positively towards a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like all people you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t let them last forever. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove the dark cloud from their lives and see life on the sunny side?

I am on about email 40 or so back and forth with these two companies.  RVsitebuilder just did some huge upgrades but, they are sure that could have nothing to do with it…. but…. suddenly I can’t edit my sites???  Hmmmm… does anyone else see where there might be some stinkin thinkin here??

I have asked for people to call me but they are in China or Thailand and won’t do it.  I have asked for my money back on my service, hell they won’t even give me credit for downtime because Webhostingpad says it is not their fault~!!!  Of course, once again, I have to say to them, you hired RVsitebuilder as your software company, doesn’t that make Webhostingpad responsible for whatever RVsitebuilder does?

Well the saga contines and will continue to write about the horrible service I am getting from both Webhostingpad and Rvsitebuilder for as long as this fiasco continues!  Hope you are having a better day than me!

Is what you are offering too complex an offering to be explained in a 30-word ad?

Can you afford to mail 200 to 1,000 pieces on the chance that you would not get a single order?

Can you make a profit selling your product to only two to twenty people in a 1,000 piece mailing?

Will a re-order of your product be required? Can you make your re-orders pay for the losses you will likely get from mailing to a list?

Do you know enough to choose the right MLM mailing list for your offering?

It takes either great faith in your offering or great stupidity to mail with a list. Most MLM mailing lists that companies are offering today specialize in opportunity seekers. These are the people who are generally quite new to mail order. They are either looking for a product to sell or an offer that will get them rich in a hurry.

Most of these opportunity seekers are engaged in chain letter type schemes at some point. They use MLM mailing lists to make gains in their plans.

Most of them lose money, but enough people will try it once to make money. These dreamers are the bread and butter for a lot of MLM mailing list companies.

Unless you have a truly superior offering for these opportunity seekers and you probably do not have one, they are not really worth your time and money. Most of them are unsophisticated dabblers.

MLM mailing lists, offered by many companies, are truly an interesting way to test response to an MLM offer. Many MLM people like to write back about their successes and failures. And they will always respond to a superior product.

Specialized product-buyers’ lists can work beautifully if the offering is unique enough and worth a try for merchandise marketing.

Regardless of what kind of mailing list you use, be very careful in choosing a good list. Many are sold and resold to people making the very same offering. A waste of everyone’s money. Free MLM mailing lists are usually as good as their price indicates. Check the guarantees.

Common sense will tell you which are good for you and which are good for the company selling the MLM mailing lists. Check to see how the lists are compiled. Are they people who have already bought something by mail, or are they merely people who indicated they might want to buy something by mail?

It is recommended that you never start any campaign with a mailing list even though advertising is so much cheaper. They are proven to work more effectively.

Keep this in mind. When you are ready to try MLM mailing list, be fully prepared to lose every penny you spend in buying and mailing that list, because it certainly could happen.
