Title: Re: tips for success Post by: Bob N on May 26, 2005, 09:02:06 PM Maybe the top guns don't go on this forum because they know they aren't gonna get any signups from here! ;) They are busy recruiting, phoning, networking, posting, and emailing prospects.
Title: Re: tips for success Post by: DavidFoster on May 26, 2005, 11:18:01 PM I am a GDI Team Leader and I have great success recruiting, but I also understand the importance of communicating with your team. If the leaders hide and spend all our time recruiting and not training, what have we done? We have not duplicated, therefore our lines will stop with US! And if you read a lot of these posts you will see both Chip Snyder and Bram Smith both are here quite often and are more help than you could ever imagine. Pick their brains because they will gladly tear it off in chunks for you if it helps you grow your business and your self worth.
I am having great success with setting up an 800# and doing a small presentation on it and then running an ad in several different small newspapers in my area. If you would like to see my resources, please e-mail me and I will gladly get em out to you. I am getting leads that have actually ASKED me to contact them. Is that not the best kind? I think so! 80% closing ratio with them! With bulk mailings and such that I did before I was at maybe 1%. That is bad because the leads, even though 1% respond were still 100% of the cost to buy them. That is not a very good ROI is it? Now what I am doing is cheaper AND produces results. HAPPY GDIing!!! Title: Re: tips for success Post by: Gerald Yancey on May 30, 2005, 02:47:09 AM I highly agree with you, David. If you read one of my last post, you would have noticed that I stated
that I will never purchased someone elses leads again. The goldmine is offline people. Now, if purchasing someone elses leads is your thing, then by all means, continue what your doing. But David is a living example that you have to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! Everyone seems to be thinking inside the same box( Your computer screen for example). Start thinking outside the box.

I am newer to GDI and live in Salt Lake City ,UT. My friend and I are the only ones that we know of in our area that are active affiliates and have some high goals. In hearing about some of these people who won the recent bonuses who are signing up 100+people a week, we simply want to get some ideas of what these people are doing! Does anyone have any ideas? Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: Marie_F on September 12, 2005, 02:17:10 PM The general concensus of opinion is that these people have been in network marketing for years and have large lists of contacts or like minded people from previous projects. For most of us that are less experienced it is more slow and steady, and dependant upon the time and resources that we have available
Regards...marie Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: MarvinD on September 12, 2005, 04:44:17 PM Hi To All,
Once again the post here is asking a question that is really not difficult to answer and more important to understand. Heavy Hitters are those that have built their RELATIONSHIPS with others and have developed their trust in doing business together. Because of this RELATIONSHIP and their ability to rove that their are a leader worth following then when the "heavy hitter" approaches his/ her conatct list they are most easily sponsored for the opportunity to DUPLICATE what that person has accomplished over the past. The other thing one might want to consider is that in the business of Network Marketing it takes some comb of Time and Money to Win at it! If you are someone who joined because of the low investment to get started then you will want to put in more time thensomeone who comes to this business with more money than time. Either way you need to cultivate a mental attitude of "Helping Others Get What They Want, So You can Get Everything You Want". Remember to always remain teachable, have a positive attitude, follow the lead of those that share what is working for them, and be willing to work hard for the next 3-5 years to get what you want. Your Partner In Success, Marvin Drobes Title: Question for Heavy Hitters? Post by: TBurns on September 13, 2005, 10:20:20 AM I am a new member to GDI and I was wondering if you could share with all of us exactly what you do on a daily basis to get your sales up that much in a weeks time. Please be specific (what mediums, channels, forms of advertising, etc). I would appreciate any input.
- Thanks, Tommy Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: LorraineK on September 16, 2005, 05:45:54 PM As Tim Seibert says on his calls....GO AFTER NETWORK MARKETERS! Put "cheap geneology reports" into your search engines and you will find a number of sources for CHEAP leads! Call them and send them to the website. A phone call will get you much higher results than an email. You may get one out of 1000 emails you send...but you can rest assured your number of signups will be MUCH BETTER if you just give them a quick call!!!! Blessings all! Lorraine K.

I've been here for about 3 months and have had no upline support. I finally downloaded the training manual and am researching ideas in the marketing section thanks to Norma's recommendation. I think because I have only been advertising online on free ad sites, I realize that what is said in the training manual regarding online recruiting only being a very small part of this whole thing, to be a very true and accurate statement. I think because I felt very "new" to all of this, the personal contact scared me a bit. But after a few months of limited success, I realize that the real success has to be multi-faceted and I am ready to give some other avenues a try. I'm posting this for all of us who are new to sales and internet marketing. I don't want anyone to feel alone if they have felt uncomfortable with getting started. I have definitely been there and I can relate. There is a lot to learn. Sometimes we need to go out of our "comfort zone" to grow.
Take Care, Gina Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: GeorgeSimons on December 03, 2005, 01:01:46 PM I READ THIS...

I just want to say that I agree with what you positive people are saying, don't give up put some or all of your effort in what GDI has to offer. Because if you it will pay off, not only for you but, for your family and everyone at GDI. It's almost on the line of what Howard was saying; 1) You got to come into GDI with a good attitude or feeling 2) You must be ready to go with a prove plan that works for everyone (this is not a get rich scheme) it will take time and effort to build your business 3) Always set your goals and aim for the stars 4) It is always good to learn your product so that you and your downlines can all benefit 5)If you are having trouble with your business watch the DVD or 7-min movie to give you inspiration, and please don't be ashamed to ask questions. That's what the forum is for. One last thing. We are all now apart of something really huge that is going to eventually turn the face of the earth as far as how we communicate to one another. Don't miss out on some as big as GDI because it is here to stay. I wan't to thank you all wish you well on your journies. Joseph Johnson 8) Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: JLadd on December 30, 2005, 03:33:49 AM From what I have learned from previous attempts at internet marketing. You have to do as everyone says follow-up on all leads. Most new contacts don't even respond until after they have seen your add 6 to 7 times. It takes this long to register in the mind that this is something that they have seen before and to awaken the senses that they are open to a new idea. Always give them just the infomation to pipe thier interest to visit your site and then make it easy to sign up for more info. It all take time but will pay off in the long run.
Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: IAnthony on January 08, 2006, 09:00:01 AM Jladd, you are so right. I've realized this for some time now.

Title: Re: tips for success Post by: WTomas on January 29, 2006, 07:01:56 PM Wow!
After reading some of these posts. I am thinking of giving up leads purchasing altogether. I just got my hands on the magnetic sponsoring system and what is told to me in there makes a whole heap of sense. PLUS: I think that you can't do any better than leads you generate yourself anyway. Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: Joseph_Johnson on February 14, 2006, 02:33:35 PM HI everyone,
I agree with what with what everyone is saying I just don't like the fact that it will take some time before we see a desent check or two. I guess a you might as well say "good luck" to a newbie because it is really going to be a while before you see any movement n your Biz. I really thing that it should be easier to make a honest living in AMerica. What do you all think? Joseph :P Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: Matthew Green on February 14, 2006, 07:13:33 PM HI everyone, Hello Joseph,I agree with what with what everyone is saying I just don't like the fact that it will take some time before we see a desent check or two. I guess a you might as well say "good luck" to a newbie because it is really going to be a while before you see any movement n your Biz. I really thing that it should be easier to make a honest living in AMerica. What do you all think? Joseph :P I work very closely with my Downline MEMBERS and the aim is to show them how to Promote GDI Online... I have set-up a Website,Forum and a Conference Room and all 3 are geared towards TRAINING my Downline in GDI as well as all the Products and Services I use to Build my TEAM... Having access to the Right Tools and the Right Information is vital to the Success of any GDI Affiliate.. Progress can be very slow with GDI.. I joined a Downline without too much consideration for who I was joining under... I saw the GDI MOVIE and figured all of this was going to be easy.. My Sponsor did / does not have a clue so Progress was really slow for me... REALLY SLOW... The thing is I have been at this game for a while now and I have learned how to not just Promote GDI, but actually use GDI to it's full potential... You see being able to Host your own Website and WebPages means that you are capable of Advertising Anything in many different ways... I teach my Downline how to do everything I do... And I teach them quickly... What took me months, takes them days...... Thing is, I am not a BIG HITTER yet, but I am going in the right direction and the momentum is gathering strength.. This week I supported a Downline member to getting his first Sign-up on day 3 of his FREE TRIAL... I believe the only way to the TOP, and I am going to the TOP is to take a LOT of PEOPLE with you... I know that GDI can be adopted by "ABSOLUTE NOVICE'S WITH NO CLUE HOW TO TURN A PC ON AND OFF" Not only can it be adopted by anyone, with the right support the results can come fairly quickly... I have Downline Members that are as strong out there as I am and they are only in their first month... If a Downline MEMBER seeks your support it is your duty to show them everything you know... Teach them everything that you have learned, stuff you know works and you will have Quicker Results... If you turned to your Sponsor and they were unable to help you; then you have learned the same lesson as me, the HARD WAY... CHECK OUT YOUR SPONSOR before you JUMP IN... I believe if any of us in this THREAD that have not had much joy with GDI YET would not of been in the same position if we had actually joined under a BIG HITTER.. I hope this all makes sense...

Regards, (http://mg247.ws/m3.gif) Title: What I learnt so far Post by: BrianA on February 24, 2006, 03:34:25 AM Well although it CAN be frustrating seeing people manage to pull in 97 new accounts a week I'm pretty sure they have a good experience about doing so.
What I can say I learnt so far is that sending a bunch of emails to people is not gonna be that effective and sometimes if you're not careful it could be spam. I can say that actually calling the person is so much better as a relation is built. What's even better is actually meeting the person. But then this ties down to how friendly and outgoing you are. An introvert wouldn't have that many friends as a party guy! I guess you get what I mean. That's what I learnt so far. I managed to get 2 sign ups in 4 hours and I'm still in my trial week but I managed to do that cause I knew those people and I told them personally. I must have sent about 300 emails and the response rate was VERY low... It's hard to keep the marathon not sprint idea in mind especially after watching the 7min movie but at least at $10 a month, it's worth a try to become financially independent! Cheers, Brian Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: AlanZ on February 24, 2006, 08:43:22 AM Hi Brian:
It is all about relationships. Back in 2000 (can't believe 6 years now) I started building a list. When I was introduced to GDI back in May 2004, I sent information about GDI to my list and I immedately had sign ups. It is all because of the work I did 6 years ago. One of the reasons why people fail at this business is that they just talk "Join GDI and make lots of money" and go on. This does not work. This just turns people off and they will never look at GDI. If, however you take the time to ask someone how they are and actually listen to them for a few moments, they will be glad that you did and your chance to have them look at GDI is much better. All I want from people is to see the GDI Flash Presentation. That's it. Alan Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing?

This is a repetitive business that needs automation so your business runs along quietly even when you are not at your PC. Hello RodB,I would hardly call Automation a SECRET... Even GDI suggest the power of Automation in their Flash Presentations... There are lots of elements that Make a GOOD Marketing System, none of them are too effective on their own, none of them are SECRET and all are available to everyone... To me the word SECRET implies Privvied Info, something that is not available to all and is therefor exclusive to some... So there really are no SECRETS... What the BIG HITTERS achieve is no SECRET... The BIG HITTERS pass their SUCCESSFUL METHODS Down the Line so SECRETS just would not be appropriate here... Keep your Methods to yourself and your Downlines will suffer... Teach them everything that is working for you and you are laughing... Teach 1000 people how to be a BIG HITTER and you are really laughing... Only Guru's Keep SECRETS and we all know the GURU's don't actually exist... Nothing more than Marketing Hype and Hysteria designed to get folks parting with their money.. I agree that to be successful with GDI you will need to add a certain amoun of Automation to your Systems, but your NEW PROSPECTS deserve the personal touch too so if there are any Automation SECRETS it would be getting the BALANCE RIGHT... Too Automatic and people will be put-off.... Automatic does not answer a request for support......... Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: RodB on February 25, 2006, 10:13:50 AM Yes indeed. And once again I would beg to differ. This business requires automation and it may indeed be old hat but for the average guy who is starting out, I would venture to suggest he has no idea how to automate anything.
Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: Matthew Green on February 25, 2006, 08:35:49 PM RodB,
When I started out I didn't even know what a Hyperlink was, but it was not a SECRET... GDI do a great job of introducing NEW MEMBERS to the concept of Automation... But at the end of the Day GDI is not a School... My search for Online Secrets has forced me to come to the conclusion that there are no secrets online... People offer to sell so called secrets... but fact is they are selling info, guides and directions, not secrets... Rod when you say that the average guy has no idea how to Automate anything... YES SIR, in fact if they are anything like me they will know absolutely nothing about the Internet, GDI, Websites, marketing, Ad Scripts, HTML not to mention the many Tools available to everyone... If you have discovered some secrets I would love to learn of them... If there is just 1 thing to come from this THREAD please let it be; To Succeed with GDI you will need to learn many new things and you will need to be able to teach your NEW MEMBERS how to do the same...

Post by: RichardUriegas on March 01, 2006, 01:11:48 PM Hi my name is Richard Uriegas I've been reading alot of what you have to say and as far as I'm concerned this is not hard work I'm 53 and I know what hard work is so for a newbie it would be great to be involved in a business like this one, remember folks this program is already rolling.One thing that i think is important is PATIENTS, why because if you don't have patients you have nothing. Personally i think we have one enemy on the internet and that's the guy that says he made $30,000 in a month or what ever,now a newbie sees this gets burnt,well you know the story.
One way you can get people to sign up is try to get high school graduates working for minimum wages leave ad or whatever your using or get a young person that you know to help you organize a meeting that way you can get them all together.Folks everything that has a good foundation will last that's why it takes patients to build believe me i know. Real millionaires don't tell you how long it takes to get rich do they? Richard Uriegas another GDI member and proud of it Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing?

to market all the time, be available to answer questions, know your product, build relationships and the money will follow.. It all takes time.. But for $10.00 a month, its not going to bankrupt anyone.. So go for your dreams!! Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: AlanZ on March 04, 2006, 11:04:26 AM Hi Scott:
I like to think of it as "networking." I have been networking before GDI was introduced. When I introduced GDI to people, I immediately had people in my organization. FYI - The best way to network with someone else is just to sit back and listen to what they have to say. Everyone wants to be heard and when you take the time to ACTUALLY listen to them, they will look at what you have to offer. Another point, people should be networking right now with the people in their organization. I love GDI, I know in my heart it is the easiest opportunity out there. I get paid to be ME. How hard is that? But here is the most important question, what great opportunity may be introduced in 5 years from now (or ten). People need to be networking.

Independent business owner, Kevin Harris from Amway, motivated aspirational sales people by telling them what it took to be successful. "I simply showed the business plan 1200 times - 900 people said no and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300 only 35 were serious and in the end only 11 of those 35 made me a millionaire."

Title: Must have this to fast track your GDI business! Post by: B Mohamad on May 14, 2006, 03:51:10 PM hello there fellow friends,
im 21 years old, market research manager from malaysia. i love the idea of this business introduce by GDI. actually, i dont really know how i get to jump in this wonderful and fun business. anyway, just to make it short here;and just want to share my thought for new affiliates how many people here would agree with me that doing your GDI business needs a business plan? if you are thinking of to succeed in any business, you need to set your own plan with its own time frame. this is the same applys to GDI. do take this seriously folks, in a business plan, you can see how the whole of your own business will progress in a certain time period (6 months projections or 3 months) . You will PLAN how many members you are planning to recruit in a period of time and HOW can you achieve it and pridict your own income. This is the magic of business plan, you set all of your ideas on how you can reach your target and plan. this will eventually makes you know your destination and for you map your own guideline. just to cut it short here, put in your business plan: how many you are going to earn next 3 - 6 months? how do you gonna achieve that? folks, you dont have to be too formal in your own business plan, hey. ....its your plan right? just note down everything you think that can help you succeed. of course, write it in a nice way, not in small notepad. in an organizer is okay. the conclusion is; BUSINESS PLAN = YOUR SUCCESS GOAL I am also new here, so i also need any of your idea or guidelines there. please share with me on how to success in GDI> ::) thank you!

My name is Joseph Johnson and I've joined your cashflow program. I have tried several times to contact you but, there is no hope. The reason that I wanted to get in contact is that I think that the page that you are currently using, the page that got me hooked is now not registered URL. Well that what I get everytime I click on the current URL. Yes, I have tried clicking on tools on my computer and going to internet options. Every thing there is fine. Even my firewalls are allowing all possible access to come through. Still I can get through. I'll tell you what though, one time before now when I did get through I found the 30-day success guide. And I also found out that your success guide only have 17 or 19 days to it. Strange huh. So let me know what you think ok! Joseph. Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing?

Post by: SeinB on August 04, 2006, 04:26:47 PM Having spent the better part of my last 10-15 years looking at quite a few different type MLM companies, the thought that comes to mind as I read the posts in here is that you have to keep plugging away. Any business worth its weight takes time and each of us comes in from a different angle (plenty of money, no money, plenty of time, no time, plenty of contacts, no contacts, outgoing personality, shyness lol). Many have built downlines in different ways.
The one thought that always keeps me going is this: Mark Yarnells upline practically dropped him well before he made his first million. Up to 6 different upline members of Mark Yarnells "mentors and trainers" walked away from bonues that reached over $100,000. So when you recruit that one little recruit. Whose to say that that one recruit isnt the one that will take GDI thru the roof and you to your very own Ferrari? Title: Re: Leaderboard Questions Post by: Jason Klein on August 17, 2006, 10:56:45 AM The Leaderbord has quite a few repeat weekly leaders. [/size]Does anyone know how these leaders promote/advertise GDI? How do they do It? We use a 100% generic system that is not free to use, bit also virtually guarantees our success!. In fact, users of this system now make up more than half of the GDI leaderboard and 70% of ALL the bonus money. These guys are my upline and my downline. I've helped my own downline get on the leaderboard in their very first month. Best of all, unlike other systems, it's open to everyone and free to join! I work with several GDI members who are not even in my downline. By helping others, more people will come to love GDI and I in turn get to network with other successful Internet businesspeople in which I can collaborate and learn from. Best of Luck To All!

Post by: JP on August 17, 2006, 07:09:13 PM Secrets there are no stinkin secrets, you seen the movie you know what to do....
I say that because you seen the movie all you have to do is send people to see the movie thats it. Seriously you must put people in front of that movie. The more numbers you could put through there the better. I say most people see nearly 200 other people on a daily basis if your in a big city as I am, so one good thing to do is have a catchy phrase written on business cards with your unique URL fowarded to your GDI lead capture movie page. For example I have plain white card says; " In need of additional income? WEBSITE URL" that url is forwarded to my GDI Lead Capture Check Page which then leads them to the movie. Box of 2500 cards costs about 35 dollars small one time investment make it your goal to hand all 2500 cards in a set time, and then repeat the process. Im sure once you have people who have seen the movie and once they start to get the automated responses sooner or later they will sign up. Maybe not all at once but sooner or later you will get a few dozen a month maybe even a hundred or so a month. Then you can too be on the leader board. Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing?

As a matter of fact I can just auto ship leads directly into my auto responder each month and they are followed up with for a year which is certainly plenty of time to be able to make a decision. They also have a really cool feature. If they want to speak with me right away the system will call my cell phone and let me know I have a Prospect.

I would like to point out to all the members who are suggesting that GDI improve our product by lowering the price!! A.The member payouts would have to drop. B. We have a fantastic product as it stands. Imagine this scenario: Prospect A is paying $10 a year for his site, prospect B, (GDI), pays $10 a month, I agree, at this point, prospect A is paying less. HOWEVER!! when prospect B, (GDI), has 10 team members that member then is actually getting their site for FREE!! MOVING ON, when prospect B, (GDI), has MORE than 10 team members, prospect B, (GDI), is actually GETTING PAID for being a GDI member. Come on guys, do the maths, this is a NO BRAINER. YOU CAN'T GET CHEAPER THAN FREE!!!!! Apart from all that, the VALUE of OUR product by far outways the cost. This is Network Marketing, lets NOT FORGET the WORK bit, we have to get off our butts and do some WORK by taking ACTION to get paid. MASSIVE ACTION = MASSIVE RESULTS Have a really great day, Brian. Title: Re: What are the BIG Hitters doing? Post by: AlanZ on April 18, 2007, 12:03:31 PM I will start by saying patience and good attitude is VERY important. I personally will
not spend my time or energy on people who don’t have those personality traits. There are too many people out there looking for success without any or little work and keeping going from one program to another. Here’s my tip in promoting GDI. DON’T DO IT! Spend that time promoting you. My one main goal is to promote me and by promoting me people will visit my website (this just happens to be a GDI Website.ws site). Regarding steps, it doesn’t matter if you spend one day writing a press release (search engines love these), do a youtube video another day, a podcast another day and include everything in a blog (also loved by search engines). What matters is content. The web is sick of advertisements, but hungry for content. I tell people I get paid to be me. How hard is that? No one can ever duplicate me because there is only one me, however you can get paid to be you. What really interests you? What are the things you like to talk about with other people? What are you passionate about (don’t say money)? If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential." This is as true of network marketing as it is of every form of endeavour. The proof of GDI's worth is already evident ie, others have been successful, therefore anyone can be successful. It's not as though the GDI offer is untried and untested. It's proven to work and it's proven to be a good, solid product. Therefore, what is left for us to become "Big Hitters" is to hit big. Never miss an opportunity to promote GDI. Hand out business cards, talk to people in shops, talk to them in elevators, advertise on your shirt, get an information booth at the local Sunday market, advertise in classifieds, put a sticker on your car, have a cap made with your url, do a leaflet drop, join several fora and discuss GDI, start up a GDI blog, do whatever you can, every time you can, to sell GDI and you'll succeed. You don't have to be well educated, super intelligent or special, you just need to persist, persist, persist ... and never give up. Personally I also believe that a better approach is to sell the product rather than the business first up. Why? Because many people are averse to MLM, but they may be happy to get a web name and web site hosting. When they sign up for that, they have the option of working on their business. It's another string to their bow. I'm selling the url and web hosting from my site to get prospects interested in the business aspect after they have experienced he product. Title: Re: tips for success Post by: JasonE1 on May 02, 2007, 04:49:41 PM Use as much free online marketing as you can with the free time you have. Using traffic exchanges while sometimes boring can potentially bring you new signups with no cost to you. The key is to promote everyday regardless of how you are doing. Use other programs that allow links etc to showcase your gdi link and use such things as webdecals.com and tshirts to display your site anywhere you are , afterall whatever logo is on your clothing isnt helping you make money and sitting in traffic might as well give you a chance to pay for some of that outrageous gas .
Title: A plea for help Post by: AlexW on June 11, 2007, 04:39:05 PM Hi Everyone.
Alex here. I'm finding it very hard to write sales copy that gets attention. Just placing ads is turning out to be a problem. I'm not finding any decent ads that work. I must also point out that the services that allow you place ads for free are too overcrowded with the same stuff we are trying to sell. I'm asking all you good people that are successful in writing ad copy to share what works with the rest of us. Lets not be selfish. We're all friends here. Or at least we're suppose to be. There are plenty of potential sign ups to go around. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I need help. I as so many others will wither away and die out if I don't find a good method of attracting sign ups. It seems like once you sign up and your under someone your on your own. If your sponsor actually replies to an email they tell you to go into the forum and read. I haven't seen anything in there that addresses this issue. Even the training sessions tell you to place more ads for better results. So post what works for you so that all may share in to wealth that this opportunity has to offer.

Even the training sessions tell you to place more ads for better results. So post what works for you so that all may share in to wealth that this opportunity has to offer. Hi Alex, One of the ways to learn how to write good ads is to see the ads of other people. If you come across a sales page or classified ad that makes you want to buy from them, then you know it is a pretty good ad copy. Bookmark those pages and modify them to suit your GDI promotion. I believe those who are successful have posted their ads on their own website and even teach their downlines to use their ads, but the results are often not as effective because when an adcopy is overused, it loses it's power. People don't even bother to read the whole ad once they see the first few familiar words. So I suggest that you take a look at other websites or ad directories, and create your own from there.

Post by: H_Martell on September 07, 2008, 03:27:32 AM I was doing a bit of MLM fraud searching recently and came across a couple of very interesting videos that I'm sure most of this audience are aware of. One of the main arguments or discussion points was that the distributor failed and was made to feel inadequate by the company because they were unteachable and weren't really trying hard enough. This does seem to be a catch cry among many MLM companies - "If it is to be it's up to me" but how responsible are you if you fail? Many prospects approach a home based business with no business acumen whatsoever, just a burning desire to be the boss. Some have little formal education or some formal education but no relevant education. Hence the learning curve is very steep for these people. Another group of prospects supposedly ripe and ready for the home business arena are the retired, who will begin to desperately search for a supplemental income due to the spiralling costs of day to day living. Some people are not teachable, they have great intentions but no follow through. They also possess 'it's all your fault' mentalities. It's up to you as the recruiter to decide whether you want these people in your team. You will need to hand feed them and train and educate them. It's not impossible. Some people really do have the drive and ambition to do what it takes. Discerning the difference between the two can be tricky, especially at the start when everyone is so eager and telling you, they'll do anything. My litmus test was to give them a book to read. It was of reasonable length about 350 pages and full of financial instruction set in two different teaching styles - one academic and the other demonstratitve. They had to read the whole book and then I gave them a test on it to make sure they actually had read it. Those that didn't finish but still wanted to join were told no. Of those that finished the book, some admitted that they didn't have what it was going to take. The very few left over decided that they would like to try. Sorry no again. And maybe one or two said, yes that's me, I will do this. Not I can do this or I'll try. I will do this. I found this one little step automatically sorted out people for me and they were fully aware of what was expected of them and what they would need to do. So in recruiting, it's important to fully inform your prospects of what is required. Don't gloss over it as if it's easy anyone can do it, because anyone can't do it otherwise the whole industry would not be here because we'd all be stinking rich. So it's your fault as the recruiter if you fail to do this, but not the prospect in my opinion. As recruiters you will serve the industry well by fully informing prospects of what they REALLY need to do and who they need to be in order to succeed, before they get drawn in and then fail. Attrition and failure rates can be minimised greatly if we all take a little more time, and our own due diligence, in who we actually bring into the industry. Thanks, Howie Martell Title: Three Question You Must Ask Before You Can Ever Be Successful? Post by: H_Martell on September 07, 2008, 03:29:21 AM Building a business requires more than just a product and a couple business cards. Those of you who continue to track down your friends, family, neighbors and anyone else that you think may possible want to look at your business are going to spend a ton of time learning to deal with rejection. Why would I want to work with me? When you step back and take a look at what you do, what you are learning, are you worth working with. What are your pros and cons, you must evaluate yourself and promote your pro's and build on your cons. When you are consistently doing this, you are growing. What do I have to offer others? People don't join businesses, people join people. You can have the most innovative product at the most perfect time, but if you can't teach someone how to grow their business, they won't see you as someone that can help them get to where they want to be. What do I want to accomplish? To be a leader in the MLM/Network Marketing industry you have to be able to see the big picture. You need to know where you want to be in the next 6 months, the next year ad so on. Knowing where you want to be allows you to set goals to how you are going to get there. Always remember that knowledge is key, the more you learn, the more you share and the more you have to offer the world, the world will reward you greatly for it. Title: What do I do first ? Post by: KelZoller on November 13, 2008, 09:47:21 AM Hi,
I joined GDI around a month ago now, I am from the U.K. & I have very limited knowledge of internet marketing. To be honest, I have next to nothing to invest, so I would like to find a way of earning a small amount of cash through GDI, so I could re-invest it in the system. I was instructed by my upline to try People-Search, so I followed the instructions to the letter, but when I got to the 'Monetize' stage, my site did not get uploaded, & I have had little or no support from my upline. I am just after a little guidance, can anybody help ??? Kel. Title: Re: What do I do first ? Post by: CharlesHill on November 15, 2008, 05:24:08 PM Hello

Many thanks for your reply, I hope things work out for you. It's difficult to find time around full time work & family life, as you probably know. Are you concentrating on the .WS domain to promote, or have you found other products through GDI to promote ? Have you heard of People-Search ? Not too many people I have spoke to believe that there is a market for .WS domains, I guess we just have to keep pushing it :) Good Luck. Kel.

Most of the strategies outlined here sound like they were created in the dark ages [before the advent of the Internet]. Wake up people - we now have the most incredible communication tool ever! We don't need to head hunt anybody anymore! People will come to you willingly of their own accord - if you let them. They are actually searching for YOU by the millions - right now - online. All you have to do is let them find you. Then show them that you care enough about their success to gain their confidence. Do this correctly and they will step into your red GDI car and you can tear down the Cyberspace super highway together. Cheers, Kitty. |
