Magnetic Sponsoring Training Video – Part 1 of 7

Building a successful online business is a lot of hard work.  In fact, the network marketing industry failure rate is at 97%.  Most people in network marketing make less than $300.00 per month.  There are many reasons for the high failure rate, but the main reason is that most network marketers do not know how to market.  Most have been taught primarily “old school” methods of marketing.  These methods don’t work as well due to the internet.

I believe that the “old school” style of marketing do work, but only for a select few.  Reason being that it requires an ability to sell and not many people like the idea of selling.  Many don’t know how to sell and have not interest in learn.  Thus, the only vehicle I would suggest to these individuals is to use the internet.  But, again, you will need computer skills and an ability to use specific strategies to build your business.

Here is where Mike Dillards Magnetic Sponsoring can help. Magnetic Sponsoring is based on attraction marketing.  To use attraction marketing requires 3 steps.  They include the following:

1. To generate a list of leads or prospects.  This usually requires a capture page.  The capture page enables you, the network marketer, to start branding you.  In fact, Mike Dillard mentions that it is really you that you should be marketing, not the products, services or the company you are affiliated with.  Your home business is really about “YOU Inc”.

   The reason you want to do to do this is other network marketers are looking for someone who can help them.  If you are marketing a company website, then people only see the company and they don’t see you.  You really want people to see you because people don’t join companies.  People join people.
   
   

2. Build Relationship with you leads.  This is a very important step.  If you have done any offline marketing at all, you may have wondered why you got so much rejection from people.  The reason is this.  People only buy from those they know, like and trust.  Using a system that utilizes the attraction marketing principles, can help you develop the relationship with your database of leads.  Also, using the process gives your prospects more time to learn about you and to better understand what you have to offer.

   Often, people will not buy from you the first time.  This is another reason why using offline marketing strategies were so difficult.  Unless you could get someone’s number or email address, you usually only had one shot.  That is not enough to generate a sell.  Often times, it takes days and even weeks for a prospect to make a decision on whether they want to buy from you or join your business. Using Mike Dillard’s magnetic sponsoring system allows you to give your prospects all the time they need.
   
   

3. Market to your leads.  This is your way of making money from your list.  As stated earlier, most people need more time to make a decision on whether to join a business opportunity, but this is not to say that they will not make purchases.  In fact, if you have a sales funnel system in place, you can generate a very lucrative income from you list of leads repeatedly. This means you can be earning an income from your leads, even if they don’t join your business opportunity.

In conclusion, as you can see, there are many advantages to having a system in place like Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring and this is essentially what he will teach you in his trainings.  This kind of attraction marketing is what helped to propell his business to making millions in such a short amount of time.

Mike Dillard’s magnetic sponsoring just might be the one thing you are missing in your business.  Why not check out Mike magnetic sponsoring course today.

First who is Jonathan Budd.  Jonathan started out a few years ago with little to no knowledge about internet marketing.  Upon his initial ventures into network marketing, he applied the usual marketing techniques, cold calling, three way calls, warm market, etc without much success. But, once he made the decision to learn everything there is about internet marketing and how to use the internet to build a home business, things changed.  Success didn’t happen immediately, but overtime and with a lot of hard work, he overcame the many obstacles that many network marketers face in their business and he finally broke through.

Now, at the age of 25 years, he is a millionaire who has found a way to build a business using the internet. In fact, he is one of the youngest who managed to become one of the top producers in 2 companies in the same year at the age of 24.  Goes to show you that he is definitely knows about marketing, but can he teach others what he knows so that they too acquire success in their business. Well, this is what I am going to share with you today.

Despite his success, how does Jonathan do with teaching others the same strategies he has used to build his business.  Let’s talk about Jonathan Budd Mastermind System.

The MLM Mastermind System was created with the intent of helping those who are very new to the network marketing industry.  So, if you already have some inexperience in this industry, this is a plus.

Tools you will have access from within this system include, lead capture pages good sales copy, and a comprehensive sales funnel.  There are about six or so capture page templates to choose from. You will be taught how to use the capture pages to build your list or generate a database of leads using the lead capture pages. When selecting an autorepsonder, you have two choices.  Keep in mind, one of the goals here is to teach you how to build your own list.  One of the requirements is to have an autoresponder to place your leads in so that you can then begin the relationship building process using the sales letters, also included in the Jonathan Budd Mastermind System.

You will also be given the capability to track your marketing, which is essential to internet marketing; always want to determine what is and isn’t working for you.

Also, included are the video trainings that teach you the various marketing strategies.  You select which marketing strategy you want to use and then apply it.  The training videos walks you through step-by-step. You will be taught how to brand yourself using marketing methods like articles, videos, social networks, search engine optimization, pay-per-click and more.

In addition, you will be paid $15 per month for every paying member you recruit into the system.  You can also generate an income from the various affiliate programs offered through the sales funnel provided.  After your trial period, the cost for membership is $47.00 per month.

In conclusion, if I were new to network marketing, I would definitely give this a try and maybe even become member.  It only cost $1 for a 2 week trial period, so, you won’t be breaking the bank by just taking the test drive.  But, this system is not unique.  It has many of the same characteristics as some of the other network marketing systems available and one in particular.  The name of this marketing system is Guide2MarketingSuccess.  In fact, I think this company has more to offer in terms of capture pages, trainings, affiliate programs (15 of them) and more.  It too costs $1 for a 2 week trial period.  Take a test drive of both systems and you be the judge.

Cooperative Marketing System. Now that is title or phrase that I have not seen since my research into network marketing and direct sales marketing. This company has made huge shift away from the ?traditional? business models. And they support a very high retention rate.

The difference in the Carbon Copy Pro business that I see is the satisfied customers. They love the products and the other difference is most MLM, the products are purchased mainly for self-consumption, because they are have a min of product they need to buy, but not here.

Support and Marketing Materials: Not only do they help you obtain customers, and service your customers for you, but they also Market to your customers. Ok? so far this is legit. I know you are thinking I have been falling off my little rocker here, but I assure you, I am really looking into this.

They have a very talented staff of designers and writers that create some incredible and proven marketing materials that are sent out to YOUR customers monthly. And guess what? There is NO Additional cost to you.

Ann Sieg has almost twenty years of experience in network marketing.  She knows what works and what doesn’t work, as well as the ups and downs of network marketing.

Because of her experience, she decided to write two books that contain information of what actually works in network marketing.  Both are controversial books.  They are called “The Renegade Network Marketer” and “The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing”.

The Renegade Network Marketer:

In this book, Ann Sieg discusses new ways of achieving multi-level marketing success. She worked diligently on her research and she tested various marketing techniques that currently work toward establishing success in mlm business.  She applied her methods of attraction marketing to generate prospects into her business.  She used these techniques to establish her own successful business and shares these same techniques used in her book.

The book discusses what your upline is not telling you. It informs you that the traditional marketing methods are not helping network marketers achieve success.  In fact, the methods taught by our upline, she says, actually hinder our success.  Ann Sieg also states in her book that everything network marketers have learned is useless.  Her one advice to struggling network marketers is: “betray the traditional mlm ways”.

Ann includes in her books methods that will attract prospects to you.  The book mentions that every network marketer needs to unlearn the traditional methods of marketing and equip themselves with other strategies that will help to generate more leads.  The Renegade Network Marketer offers a step-by-step process that shows how to increase lead flow of highly-targeted prospects and to generate sales. Her suggestion in the book are to help network marketers establish a large downline.  It also includes information on how to run a successful mlm business.

The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing

Similarly, The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing is a controversial book.  This book has 35 pages that contain information from the standpoint of abolishing th ways of traditional network marketing.  The contents of this book is an eye-opener in that she includes information indicating that as a network marketer, your upline has been telling you lies.  The book adds that too often, your upline shares with you information that is misleading and half-truths and the goal of the book is to show you exactly what these lies are and why they are considered lies.

The goal of Ann Sieg’s books is to help network marketers, who are struggling with their business.  They are to help you get past the disappointments of network marketing.  Although she does not target any member or any company in her books, she has caused many in the network marketing industry to become upset with the information she reveals in both of her books.

On the internet business world, you have probably heard that only an estimated 5% of entrepreneurs, webmasters, or affiliates, are making real money.  If you’re not one of them, then read on and learn how you can become one of the top 5% earners in the internet business world.

Who are the top network marketing money makers?  What are they doing that you are not, or what are they doing differently?

Is it because they are selling a high, in-demand product from their own websites?  Or, are they only referring to an affiliate merchant partner?  Is it because they’re selling to a tight niche or to a broader niche market segment?  And, if so, would the difference strive in different marketing campaigns?

Whatever your answers are, they are either wrong or all right, depending on the nature of your business, the product or service itself, the marketing methods, and the lead generation.  The variables could be infinite within each context.

Whatever the reasons, two things stand out as a common denominator among internet money makers.  One, solid knowledge base about doing business on the net; the other, the business, marketing, and traffic generation used to support their success.

Regardless of the product or service they are selling, either as webmasters or affiliates, and whether it’s to a niche or a broad market.

The successful network marketers either sell products of their own or an affiliate’s products, have (a) a website that really sells, (b) setup an automated search engine traffic generating system (c) designing and automating multiple marketing campaigns according to the nature of their business, products, or markets; and (d) setup a database automation system for customer service and to follow up on their prospects to explode their back end sales.

If you are not getting the anticipated desired results with your internet business, that doesn’t mean you can’t be one of the elite.  You just need to arm yourself with the right knowledge and tools that will allow you to strive and compete successfully.

The flexibility and freedom of an online business may seem very appealing, but for the most part, reality is not nearly so rosy.  Even so, people still dream about quitting their jobs and heading on to making a living with an internet business of their own.  That is because of one word, possibilities.

We have all thought the same thing.  However, along with the hazards and potential for failure, comes a very real and distinct light at the end of the tunnel.  What if you could be part of the 5% of network marketing earners who are making a great living?  Isn’t it worth a shot?  Yes!

So, with a 5% success rate, how do you improve your chances?  Doing as the top network marketing earners do.  First…

* Learn the Pro’s insiders secrets to setup your internet business; and

* How to marketing online and offline your business, products, and services.

You are probably thinking that business and marketing automation is easier said than done.  This is true, but with the right guidance from an expert, you can make automation work for you.

In fact, it may be easier to implement than you think.  If you can get help on how to setup and automate your business, you will greatly enhance your chances for success; and, in most cases, regardless of the nature of your business, or the product you are selling.

There are many online firms specializing in helping internet business professionals to automate their businesses and streamline themselves to success.  They give the kind of advice suggesting the most adequate tools and resources to setup and manage your business to market and sell your products or services.

The entire process can be painless, and quicker than you ever thought possible.  Plus, when you are finished, your business will be easier to run and far more profitable.
