Secrets of the “Heavy Hitters” 
Let us take a look at these pointers:
1. 
Be prepared to handle rejection. Who said that any kind of selling was easy? But it all comes down 
to
 attitude. If you can understand that a rejection of the opportunity 
that you are so excited about is not are jection of you as a person, 
then you are 
on your way. “No” must be 
interpreted as “next”. This is easier said than done but it’s the price 
of success. The Internet and other new technologies now allow some 
rejection proof approaches, such as using lead capture pages and 
autoresponder messages. These methods serve to “pre-qualify” your 
prospects. There still must come a time when you will have 
to be 
in personal contact with your down line members however.
Part of preparing your mind for these ‘negative’ 
people
 is to fill your mind with positive messages. There are many Network 
Marketing and “positive thinking” speakers that will help you keep your 
spirits up. You will be surprised to discover the boost that 
motivational tapes and books can give to your attitude in general. This 
is one of the benefits of being 
in this industry—it teaches you 
to have a brighter outlook 
on life.
2. 
Be realistic in your expectations. To
 expect too much too soon will only set you up for a possible let down. 
Accept that this is a legitimate business that requires investment of 
time and effort and you must be prepared to sow the seeds for the 
harvest you expect 
to reap. Who builds a house without first considering the cost?
When you are quoted the salaries of the big recruiters, be sure 
to ask 
how much time and money they spent to get 
to that level. This information will give you a clearer picture.
3. 
Once you find a reputable company be prepared to stay for the long haul.This goes without saying but if you expect to succeed you must stay the course. The most successful people 
in
 life have gone through very trying times but they stuck with it and 
left a legacy behind. It is often said that tough times don’t last but 
tough 
people do. The same is true for those seeking to build a solid residual income. You should commit yourself 
to at least 3 years before making a decision either way.
Jumping from one opportunity to the next only shows a lack of decision and stability 
in you planning. Teenagers are expected 
to fall 
in and out of love every few months, but married couples have committed for life. Be prepared for a marriage not a fling!
4. 
Do not make the business more complicated than it needs to be. Stick with what works.
There is always the temptation 
to improve 
on
 the methods that experienced networkers have shown to work. Go with 
what works, not with what should work. If you find a system that has 
been working just plug into it and squeeze the last drop of success you 
can get from this. This means that you must show yourself teachable to 
your up line and be willing 
to teach your 
down line members the same system. Success normally comes from doing 
what works over and over again until it becomes second nature.
Another
 note of caution is that you should not expect from your recruits what 
you are not doing yourself. There a many networkers who will give advice
 that they are not willing to follow. 
In 
other word they get their team members to “do the dirty work” for them. 
This practice takes away from the real meaning of duplication—I’m doing 
the same thing that I’m teaching you 
to do.
5. 
Train and then let loose!The
 real power of Network Marketing is the power of leverage. Rather than 
using 100% of your own effort, you are using 1% of the effort of a 
hundred. If your down line members become too dependent upon you then 
they will be using 110% of your effort. This can easily lead 
to rapid burnout.
So the key here is to train your frontline members, then train them 
to train their frontline members. As you gain leadership experience 
in
 the business then you can occasionally pick up the slack for a 
colleague. The important thing here is that your team members understand
 that effort is required 
on their part or they cannot expect your support.
Here are some additional insider 
tips on really hitting the ground running. These ‘secrets’ are learned from the study of those who have made millions 
in this industry.
6. 
Talk to many at the same time instead of one at a time.We
 just mentioned that the real power of Network Marketing is leveraging 
your efforts. Did you ever notice that the real successful 
people in
 this industry never talk to one person at a time? Just think about it. 
Your recruiting message or script will be the same for each prospect. 
You are introducing them to a business opportunity. If you were to use 
the telephone 
to do your presentations, 
how many prospects can you talk 
to in one day? So here is what the serious marketers do:
(a) Set up a toll free number with a recorded message and 
invite callers 
to leave their number and other contact information.
(b) Advertise conference calls where many 
people can join and listen 
to your presentation at the same time.
(c) Run a message board 
on your website where 
people can ask questions and discuss the business.
(d) Host an online conference chat room.
(e)
 Buy leads and load them into an auto responder with your prospecting 
message. Be careful of here to avoid SPAM complaints. Also confirm that 
the auto responder company that you use allows you 
to use purchased leads.
7. 
Target other network marketers.This
 may seem to go against the issue of not jumping from opportunity to 
opportunity, but it is much easier to work with someone who has already 
worked in the industry than a totally new person. There are list brokers
 who specialize 
in mailing list of distributors from companies that have closed down. For these individuals you don’t have to teach them 
to fish, they already know, and that can be a plus.
In
 addition to this, you can expect that if they join forces with you they
 can bring their entire down line from the old company. Of course, one 
challenge is that these seasoned marketers will also be more difficult 
to recruit since they will take a more critical stance of your opportunity.
8. 
Target business-minded people and entrepreneurs.Here again you are targeting 
people who are already motivated and understand what it takes 
to
 run a successful business. These individuals would also already be 
networking in their businesses and therefore would be in a position of 
influence. Such people include chiropractors, real estate agents, sales 
people and internet marketers. These professionals come 
in contact with a large number of 
people
 and could be the boost that the organization needs. The more ‘business 
minded’ your prospects are the more likely you will recruit them.
9. 
Make a written plan with all your goals and steps to get there.Psychologists tell us that when we write something down we are more likely to commit to it. That’s why you are required 
in a contract 
to place your signature 
on the dotted line—helps you keep your end of the bargain.
Every
 business owner should have a goal to which they are aspiring. If you 
aim for nothing you are likely to strike it. If your plan is to get 
to a residual income of $10,000 per month then you should set smaller goals 
on
 your way there. Say, $3,000 per month after the first year, then $7,000
 per month after the second year and finally $10,000 per month by the 
third year.
A very important part of writing out this plan is to calculate what is required to get to your goal. So if you must call 20 
people to get 1 ‘yes’, and that prospect is worth $50 per month 
to you, you will know 
how many calls you have to make per month to get 
to $3,000 per month 
in one year. Looks simple, but most 
people don’t do this kind of calculation and so they run their businesses with blind expectations.
Knowing where you are going is one of the easiest ways 
to get there!
10. 
Continually work to improve your people skills, especially your listening skills.At its core, Network Marketing is really people management. If you don’t like dealing with 
people then this is not for you. You are always going 
to be 
in direct or indirect contact with 
people and so you should brush up 
on your 
people skills.
One of those skills that you’ll need 
to primarily focus 
on
 is your listening skills. One of the most common downfalls of Network 
Marketingers is that they talk too much and don’t listen enough. This 
applies to the majority of salespersons. You have to always take time to
 listen 
to the customer because if you do - they will tell you what they are looking for! Here are some quick 
tips to improve your listening skills (particularly 
on the telephone):
(a) Well ... just stop talking and listen
. That’s the toughest part.
(b) Learn to view things from the prospect’s position. Is your prospect a single mom struggling 
to make ends meet? Empathize and provide the solution.
(c) Restate what the person tells you 
to be sure that you understand what they are saying. This also makes the other person feel “heard.”
(d) Try not 
to interrupt them while they are talking—another hard one.
(e) Ask a lot of questions for clarification but not 
to be confrontational.
(f) Avoid jumping to unnecessary conclusions and learn 
to “listen between the lines.”
(g) Smile! You’ll be surprised to see what this does 
to your tone of voice.
11. 
Stay informed in what’s happening in the industry by subscribing to at least one professional Network Marketing journal.There
 are many magazines to choose from and many books written on the subject
 of Network Marketing. As an “expert” in the field you should be able to
 speak of it 
in a professional way and be aware of the latest trends and technologies available 
to you. Think of 
how
 impressed your prospects will be when you can quote them the latest 
statistics. This helps you to build immediate credibility with your 
prospects. If you expect to make $20,000 per month, think about what 
other professionals with similar salaries had 
to
 endure before they reached that level, a doctor for example—years of 
medical schools, educational loans and internships! Don’t be skimpy 
on your education.
12. 
Write your own book or produce Network Marketing tapes and CD’s.This may appear 
to
 be a tall order but it is not as difficult as it first appears. First 
you can publish an E-book even if you have this book written by a 
professional ghostwriter. You can place a bid at a website such as .com 
and have writers bid on your job. This book will have your name 
on the cover and no one has 
to know that you never wrote one word!
Audiotapes and CD’s can be produced at home using a stereo recorder or 
in a local sound studio. You can also use your computer with the appropriate software and hardware 
to do this. There are many companies that will reproduce these recordings for you at minimum cost. Having your name 
on these products can be a real income booster. 
People want 
to know that they are following a leader and that is the way you are presenting yourself.
