What have you learnt from your experiences as an entrepreneur? What are your strengths and weaknesses? You are in an industry that has made more millionaires than any other in the history of the world.
This is he most exciting of vocations in the history of the world; it is exciting with the potential to transform the destinies of millions of people who otherwise would not have had such an opportunity.
Are you a sales professional who is trustworthy? Do you set yourself apart from those in our indusry who have absolutely no morals whatsoever and have dragged the network marketing industry to the mud?
These are the 7 Habits You’ll Need to Acquire if You Want to Become Successful
1. Find Out What Your Prospect’s Needs are and Assist them in Defining their Requirements
Don’t shy away from asking questions. This is the only way you can find out how to be of assistance to your prospects. Show your prospects that you really do care about their needs and not just interested in taking their money. Communication is so essential in any business just as it is in ours – in fact it is even more essential as a network marketer. Assist your prospect to see why it makes sense for them to collaborate with you. Inspire trust and have a magnetic personality which would lead to long term relationships with happy and satisfied repeat customers.
It is essential also that you find out how to bridge the gap between our modern-day technology and the human touch.
Assuming responsiblity for assisting them succeed in their business does not mean you’re guaranteeing their success. You cannot and should not guarantee anyone’s success because, firstly, it is really up to them in the end and is based on their efforts, and secondly, it is unprofessional. Only babies need to be carried; that’s a natural instinct and requirement but today’s babies have to find their feet (no pun intended) at some point.
2. Command the Conversation
It is you responsiblity to determine where you want your conversation to go. Consciously decide to inform your prospect of where you are in the sales process. Have a definite plan of action and let your prospect know exactly what to do next.
3. Find Key Requirements You Can Fill
Be willing to educate yourself and your prospect before asking them to buy from you. Show them why it makes sense to buy from you and not somebody else. Remember that the decision to buy from you is going to be an emotional decision 85% of the time; do not be too hung up on logic, on the cerebral part of the conversation. Tell them about the lifestyle that’s possible from this industry; the possiblity for recognition, for travel worldwide. Most serious people will make a decision within 72 hours.
4. Ask for the Next Appointment
This should be fixed within the next 24 to 48 hours if possible. Provide your prospect with two options; be patient and wait for their response.
5. Ask for Referrals
Referrals earn your trust because you share a mutual acquaintance. This referral has now become a warm market and as all sales professionals know, your warm market is a lot more responsive than your cold market. This person is very likely to trust you; take advantage of this, but please do not let them down.
6. Begin Early and Stay Late
In many professions, it’s the business owner who gets to the office early. By starting early, you provide yourself with a quiet moment before the often frenetic day begins.
7. Maintain a Good Sense of Humour
This is probably the most challenging of all but is essential if you want to build an all-rounded self-image. Be willing to laugh at yourself. What may be an absolute catastrophe today may not be so tomorrow. Remember, laughter is truly the best medicine.
I hope this article has moved you a step closer to your goal of financial independence.
Take care; take action.
To your massive, massive success!

MyLeadSystemPro formerly MLMLeadSystemPro was the brain-child of three struggling but very ambitious Network Marketers and one of whom is a Computer Programmer as well.
Just like most of us in this industry who’ll struggle for a while before success comes – if we don’t quit – Brian Fanale, Norbert Orlewicz and Todd Schlomer devised a system based on attraction marketing principles recently popularised by Mike Dillard. They have done a thorough job that is why MyLeadSystemPro (MLSP) is now utilised by 1000s of Network Marketers worldwide; and this has happened in less than 2 years!
So what exactly is Attraction Marketing and how has MLSP utilised this principle to generate over $2,000,000 in revenue within their first 12 months?
Attraction Marketing
This is marketing turned on its head, to put it simply. It’s the principle used by multi-billionaires, multi-millionaires, millionaires and even those who do not yet have a dime – or penny – to their name. From footballers, to celebrity actors and actresses; motivational speakers, writers and of course professional network marketers. These people have discovered – most have actually stumbled upon – this secret that brands them as experts and makes them attractive to others. They have made themselves valuable to their niche market.
Anyone who understands this principle will not go around chasing family and friends trying to convince them to join their opportunity. People will actually pay you to join your team when you show them how valuable you are to them. It is that simple!
Why MLSP is Every Network Marketers Dream Come True
MLSP helps brand you as an expert and a leader – which you do become, to a certain degree, after going through the set-up process. This alone puts you in the top 5% of network marketers – and other marketers in general – worldwide! You now know something that hardly anyone on the planet knows; which puts you in that unique position to teach others what you have just done. The set-up process is really not that difficult; it’s a step-by-step video training course.
Worried that you are not good with computers? I was too. I am not a technie at all; most of what I’ve learnt about computers and the internet was self-taught- through trial and error, drive and ambition and a never-give-up attitude as soon as I knew for sure this was the real deal. These qualities are essential for your success. You’ll need those qualities to withstand the emotional roller-coaster in this industry. I hope this doesn’t put you off; I tell it like it is. It’s not that easy, but not that difficult either.
17 Affiliate Programs and Counting The generous affiliate programs within MLSP is just mind-boggling! You can start earning even before you fully set up your MLSP back office. As new products become available and are proven to be of value, Brian, Norbert and Todd make these available to you and I. Some people are known to be making a lot more money using this system than in their primary network marketing company; myself included.
Weekly Training Webinars These provide you with the tools needed to succeed in this industry. Training is the lifeblood of any business and should never be neglected. It is as food to you and I. During these webinars, you’ll be shown cutting-edge strategies being utilised by our top earners most of whom are 5, 6 and 7 figure income earners; all have achieved this feat within 2 years; some within 6 months!
24/7 Support If you have any questions whatsoever, our support team will be at hand whenever you need help. Your upline will be willing to help you as well becuse it is in their interest that you succeed and do so massively. Though this is not another multi-level marketing system as it is not lawful to have two network marketing systems running together.
An Autoresponder Email Service is essential in order to keep in constant touch with those who are interested in building a solid financial future for themselves. You can either sign up with Aweber or GetResponse. They’re both very effective. I personally use Aweber and have had no problems whatsoever.
Live Events! Last but not least are the live events organised by MLSP twice a year. Here you can meet these ‘movers and shakers’ in the flesh. This should quell any doubts you have and will actually help you in propelling your business to the next level. You’ll see that we’re all enthusiastic, friendly people with nothing special, just our passion for people and for our success in this industry. Live events are essential and can make the difference between success and failure in your business!
In conclusion
MLSP has transformed my outlook on life and what is achievable by anyone if you are bold enough to take action and have an undying belief in yourself. For it is you who will make or mar. Your future is in your hands because the system works; all you have to do is work the system and you will experience success that you’ve probably always known was possible but never knew how to achieve.
Dear friend, if an artist who loathes ‘technical stuff’ can succeeed in network marketing, so can you. YesUCan!
Have a fantastic, fruitful day!

Intel has revealed its intention to purchase McAfee for a whopping $7.7bn. In a bid to counteract the spread of viruses as the internet becomes more readily available to mobile devices, TV and even fridges.
Intel boss Paul Otellini said that “Security has now become the third pillar of computing, joining energy-efficient performance and internet connectivity in importance”.
Through buying McAfee, a leading security technology firm, Intel intends to build security features into its microprocessors which go into products such as laptops and phones. This has puzzled many industry experts who do not think it’s a good idea to put security in hardware.
A key worry for technology users is the security threat posed by the fast-growing field of cloud computing – the ability to access, change and interact with data on any platform with a net connection, including smartphones.
These online services require no software purchase and installation and most run via a browser, but there are concerns that storing personal data on a server somewhere in cyberspace could pose a major threat to the privacy of individuals.
McAfee’s president and chief executive, Dave DeWalt, said cyber attacks were a growing menace. He said: “The cyber threat landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years with millions of new threats appearing every month.”
McAfee, also based in Santa Clara, is one of the world’s largest security technology companies with about $2bn in revenue last year.
The deal is the latest in a series of mergers and acquisitions in the sector, including Dell’s $1.3bn purchase of data storage company 3PAR earlier this week.
Hopefully, this acquisition will not weaken McAfee in some way - especially as threats to internet security multiply every month – because of potential job losses, and indirectly affects our industry. Also, the increasing focus on smart phones could be a distraction and a worry for those of us who still rely on our PCs and laptops for our business.
If you’re considering online network marketing, don’t be put off by this threat: yes, it’s a growing threat but nearly as old as the internet itself. All you need to do is be aware of potential threats to your online business and take appropriate action to protect yourself from malicious hackers. Is your anti-virus up-to-date?
