Andrew Wanschura asked:


A majority of Herbalife distributors make a very crucial mistake when choosing and building their business. They focus too much of their attention on all the wrong things. Let me explain. Often times, when potential distributors are searching for an mlm opportunity all they can think about is the top-notch, revolutionary products that Herbalife offers, or maybe it’s the one-of-a-kind compensation plan that will finally help them achieve financial freedom. Now don’t get me wrong, these things are important and should factor into their decision, but they shouldn’t be the first things on their list.

You see, the most important thing a distributor can think about when choosing and building a successful business is the marketing aspect. The products and comp plan need to take a back seat to their marketing efforts. Because marketing is really the only way they’ll really be able to expand their Herbalife home business. Too often, distributors go jumping around from company to company chasing after the latest and greatest products only to fail with each new attempt. They shouldn’t wonder why they aren’t successful.

It’s like McDonald’s, you know the fast-food restaurant that is on every street corner in America, and even across the world. How many people out there could make a better-tasting hamburger than they could? I can think of a few people, myself included. Why then, is McDonald’s a multi-billion dollar company? Do you see my point? A lot of people can come up with a great product, in fact it could be the best. But it all comes down to how you market your product. You can have the most effective, groundbreaking product in the world, but if you’re not using effective marketing no one will know and no one will care. An effective sales and marketing system is by far the most important factor to any business, and should take top priority for anyone who wants to be a successful network marketer.

A lot of Herbalife distributors fail to realize that marketing and sales is the only activity in their business that’s bringing in cash. Everything else uses up that cash. Herbalife products, the compensation plan, corporate teams, upline sponsors, these are all important, but they don’t generate any kind of revenue. They aren’t income-producing aspects of their business. Take away sales, and they wouldn’t even have a business!

Herbalife can have the greatest products, and the most breath-taking compensation plan available, but if distributors aren’t moving any product or closing any prospects, there isn’t much to compensate. Think about this for a minute. People will make a lot more money with an average product and an incredible marketing system than they would with an incredible product and an average marketing system.

Just ask Robert Kiyosaki and Seth Godin. Both are very successful businessmen, Robert is a best-selling author and Seth is also a best-selling author and was the former Vice President of Marketing for Yahoo! Both agree that marketing is the most important aspect of any business. Seth had this to say,

“Marketing is all there is. You don’t win with better shipping or manufacturing or accounts payable. You win with better marketing.”

Now I’m not saying that Herbalife distributors shouldn’t be concerned with the quality of their products or the compensation plans of their opportunity. Like I said before, these things are important, after all, people should want their products to meet the expectations of their customers so that they’ll become repeat customers. But marketing needs to take top-priority before anything else.

I think that Herbalife really drops the ball when training their distributors. They don’t stress proper marketing enough, and the support that they do provide in this area is outdated and ineffective. The brochures and websites that distributors are provided with often times do more harm than good, because they fail to use good direct response techniques. Pretty colors, graphics, and logos don’t sell, and Herbalife fails to realize this.

Jackie Khor asked:


When I was in Malaysia conducting many hotel presentations for my home business with a network marketing company, I received many similar questions about “What is your killer product?”. Not products that can kill you, of course. What they meant was, show them a product that would cure cancer, for example, such that every cancer patient in the world would be lined up at their doorstep, willing to pay every penny they own in return.

I don’t have such products and believe there is no such a magic pill at the moment. However, I have very high quality degenerative disease prevention products.

People who want financial freedom spend their time endlessly researching various opportunities, companies, products and the compensation plans. While this is important, it is done in an incorrect order.

If you want to guarantee your success with USANA, Manatech, Herbalife, Agel, Xango, Synergy or any other network marketing company, there are only three essential factors to consider, each in its correct order.

Factor # 1: Make A Decision To Commit

Whether or not you have drive and desire will primarily decide your success.

You need to commit for the long term in building a network marketing business. Understanding that network marketing is a business model designed to accrue value and net worth over time is important.

Our bookshops are filled with books by the richest, most influential and successful people of our time teaching you how to get rich. Believe me, all of them have invested in themselves and made sacrifices to get to where they are today. They don’t mention it because either they forgot all about it for it has happened some time ago or they think that it is just common knowledge. If you’ve studied any successful entrepreneur, you’ll see that they worked harder than anyone. Regardless of what anyone tells you or what you believe, you’ll have to do the same. There are no hand-outs.

That doesn’t mean you won’t make a substantial amount of money in a short period of time. You can very well do that.

Then, why is it that most people continue to be slaves for money working 70 hours per week?

Do you know that most of us were conditioned to believe that if we went to school and got an education, we would get a job in our chosen field, work for 40 years, climb the ladder of success, and then retire in comfort? How nice?

Unfortunately, that is not how it usually works out nowadays. So, you better be the first to start in your generation so that you can either share or leave this legacy to your kids. You can lead them to a better position to look after themselves and their future families.

On the other hand, there is no such thing as a ‘get rich quick’ scheme or rewards without effort. If you come across one, it is most likely a scam. At the minimum, you still need to play a part in bringing your customers to the pool and they must purchase something in order for you to earn the money. This is just a fact of life. Revenue is generated when a sale is made and you get commission based on sales.

Are you looking for a hand out in your network marketing business? Deep down inside, are you hoping someone or some system will do all the work for you? If you are, then let me save you loads of time and money and plead with you not to start a network marketing business.

Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking network marketing is a get rich quick program. It is not. It takes time to build up a passive residual income.

More than any other business, network marketing is a relationship business. Therefore, we are working with people all the time. People are unpredictable. We don’t know who will put in effort and duplicate and who will not. This is why most companies talk about network marketing as a numbers game. You have to recruit enough people until you have some coachable business builders who will expand your business.

Does this sound like get rich quick scheme?

Thus, building a stable residual income stream takes time, consistence, persistence and patience to enjoy the time and financial freedom you are seeking. You are in for long haul.

That is why your ‘WHY’ is so important. How bad do you want this? Why do you want it?

Too many people join my team saying “I’ll give USANA a go”. I have learnt to turn these bad eggs down because they are wasting my time which I can never gain back.

Do yourself a favor. If you’re planning to just try network marketing, you may as well not start. Also,in this business it takes the tenacity and professionalism to earn the six figure income. You have already decided the outcome by having little faith in yourself and unwilling to put all the time you got left to learn the business. Mind you most people lack of self-confidence when they start but because of their ‘Why’ which gives them the determination to learn to move forward.

Do you know your ‘WHY’? You must expect success. Make a decision that financial freedom is something you deserve and you will do whatever it takes to get it. Whatever skills you lack, you’re going to learn and each time you fall you’ll try again.

Factor # 2:

Partner Up With The Best Leadership and Marketing Team

If you have integrity, you will commit to your dream. But how will you get there?

Honestly, this is not a million dollar question. Lots of people have come through successful. The formula is well-known but the ways to apply the formula can vary.

There is no point going to Uncle Bob who works hard all his life to ask for advice on how to get rich. He doesn’t know the formula. If he did, he would be financially free too.

Warren Buffet and Randy Gage who are both very successful people in their arena, said “Never ask for financial advice from broke people”. Personally I think it is an excellent piece of advice.

You need to find a team of network marketers who have achieved financial freedom for themselves and learn their ways of the success formula. So partner up with someone successful who has the result you want.

It is leadership and marketing that sell products and build down lines. Thus, it is important to ensure that there is a simple system in place that gets you earning money early on. Be careful here, many leaders use the company business development system alone with their new associates. Their system consists of contracting everyone you know and when you finish talking to them, they encourage you to buy cold leads at $5-$20 a lead, pass out flyers, advertise on local newspapers, hang signposts, do mailbox drops, etc.

These methods can work but they are costly and time consuming. Most new associates spend themselves out of business before they could learn new skills. But hey, if that is something you want to do, its alright.

Otherwise, make sure you ask the leader what kind of system they have in place to generate leads and what it will cost you. I highly recommend joining a team that is internet savvy and uses both the traditional and internet-based marketing models to generate leads.

Factor # 3: Choose the Right Company

Notice this is the least important factor. You could have an excellent product, the best compensation plan, the cheapest startup cost, no monthly volume requirements and etc but if you don’t work with a team who know how to market, you will have to learn on your own.

Let’s face it, working from home takes discipline. It takes getting off your butt and taking action even if you don’t earn a paycheck today. It takes seeing the bigger vision of where you are heading and having faith to stay the course. It is pretty hard to work on your own especially most compensation plans in network marketing work best with team effort. Not only that, your willpower as an entrepreneur in the beginning may not withstand many challenges that you are going to face in any business. Hence, you do need team support and proven strategic marketing plan to execute.

When considering a company to partner with, remember the money you make comes from sales commissions until you attain a certain membership title level.Then you are entitled to receive leadership bonuses in addition to your sales commissions. Until that time comes, focus on how attainable you are able to make sales and not waste your effort down the track.

There are hundreds of network marketing companies out there. How do you separate a winning network marketing company from the rest?

Here are a few tips to help you judge opportunities and choose the right network marketing business for you.

Financial stability:

You should look for a financially stable network marketing company that has been in business for at least five years. Network marketing companies, like all new companies, have a high business failure rate in the first couple of years of operation. If they are still in business after five years, chances are they will be in business for a long time to come.

One way to be more certain of a network marketing company’s financial situation is to select a publicly traded company. They have to disclose their financial details to their national regulatory authority on a regular basis. You’ll be able to review their financial statements and quarterly earnings reports so that you can judge their financial stability. Remember, if you are going to get paid, the network marketing company needs to be solvent!

The right product or service:

What kind of products or services is the network marketing company offering? To successfully sell a product it needs to have its own unique selling point and be something that you would use and believe in. For example, there’s no point in joining a networking marketing company which specializes in car products and you are not interested in those products.

Make sure that the products and services offered are something that a large proportion of the public needs or will want to purchase repeatedly month in and month out. For you to earn money there must to be a good ongoing market in a growing industry for your product. The best products are those that are consumed or used up, because they generate repeat sales. Ensure that similar items are not available in retail stores. There’s no strong reason for anyone to buy products from a network marketing company if they aren’t unique or better in some way.

The right marketing system:

Examine the network marketing company’s marketing strategies. Do you have to sell items door-to-door? Does the network marketing company have high quality marketing materials that are good value for money? Are you permitted to generate leads through internet marketing?

Some network marketing businesses have developed a system and tools you can use to generate sales. These can include simple ads, catalogues and the internet. They’re far more time efficient and less draining than the hard slog of door knocking, or contacting every acquaintance in your address book.

In summary, if you have the discipline to grow, learn, and not quit, you will succeed. Isn’t this true with anything else in life? No one is going to create success for you. No system is going to create success for you. You are the only one who can work with a system to create success in your life.

Aldo Gonzalez asked:


 

Two very prominent families invested into Kyani, the Hansen’s and the Taylor’s. The Taylor family have a very successful business, grossing over $350 million dollars a year with their product, Idaho Potatos. The Taylor’s were happy to contribute $300 million to Kyani, because they believed on the product so much. Hansen’s come from the petroleum business. As you all are very aware of, the oil business is a very good business to be involved in, especially with this high and costly gas prices. The Hansen Family obviously are well off, with a very handsome income. When Kyani the product, and compensation plan, was presented to these families, they were on board immediately.

Kyani is the new kid on the block, and the company is growing fast. Kyani is based out of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Established in 2005, Kyani invested over $300 million dollars prior to opening its doors, which is considered the most secure launch in MLM history. With this great financial support, Kyani has been set to endure the long haul.

What is Kyani?

You may have heard of, Noni Mona Vie, and many other products that are on health and wellness market. Well, Kyani is nothing like any of those products because Kyani was created to make you healthier, wealthier, and very affordable to the “average joes” wallet. Making this product very economical is huge, especially in this current recession. Kyani is the only one in the industry that can actually prove it.

Very respected Dr. Maureen McKenzie, spent over 10 years studying the Native People and Alaska with hopes of discovering the secret that kept these people for the most part disease free. The incredible immune function as well as cardiovascular function of these native people produced two underestimated proven facts:

1. A high Omega-3 intake can create an environment for your cardiovascular and heart function to reach its optimum potential.

2. The higher your antioxidant level the stronger your cellular structure can function.

The diet of these native people also happened to include two of the super-food powerhouses, Alaskan Sockeye Salmon and Wild Alaskan Blueberries.

The antioxidant super-blend Kyani Sunrise is distinct in the fact that it contains these berries. Dr. Steven Pratt, author of Super Foods RX, stated, “I tell my patients that blueberries are one of the three major Super-Foods, along with spinach and salmon. If you learn nothing else from Super Foods Rx, remember to eat blueberries and spinach most days and salmon…these three foods alone will change your life and health.” The blueberry is very well known for being the leader of antioxidant rich fruits. However, all of that changed with the discovery of the Alaskan Wild Blueberry.

The Alaskan Wild Blueberry has evolved in an extremely diverse environment. With 2 freezes, blizzards, and up to 3 months of continuous sunlight the Wild Alaskan Blueberry survives in a truly arduous locale. By adapting the thickness of its skins to endure these harsh natural pressures, this miracle berry has survived through centuries of incredibly difficult circumstances. It is also a well known fact that the skin of berries and fruits in general contain up to %70 or more of the actual nutritional content. The skin of this berry is nearly 10 times thicker than its domestic cousin we are familiar with in our grocery scores. It is there for easy to assume that the antioxidant content is nearly 10 times higher then the average domestic blueberry as well. Science has been able to prove this to be a fact.

Kyani is one of the best business opportunities available today. Why? Because, Kyani is at is launched, and people who join this awesome business have a very good chance of become very successful. Like stated before Kyani is the “New Kid On the Block”, and ready to compete with the well established companies of Xango, Mona Vie, Herbalife, and Noni. The best time to join is now, when the company is young. It would not surprise me to see Kyani in front of a soccer jersey in the near future. Does David Beckam ring a bell, he sports the Herbalife logo on his Galaxy uniform.

Paul Zane Pilzer, noted economist and scholar, has predicted trend after trend based on the Baby Boomer generations needs and wants. For example, when the Baby Boomer generation was born, companies like Gerber and Pampers ballooned into billion dollar companies. Remember the real estate boom? Baby boomers have been responsible for every major economic trend the Americas have felt over the past 65 years. Paul Zane Pilzer predicted that the next big trend lies in Health and Wellness. This is a $300 billion dollar industry that has been predicted to grow by an extra $700 billion dollars over the next 5 years. But why? Well, Baby Boomers are now retiring and changing their lifestyles and activities. They do not want to feel old, they want to feel young and enjoy the money they spent all their lives earning. The trend is there, and it is growing.

The Kyani Compansation Plan

The Kyani Compensation Plan is like no other. To fully appreciate the difference between Kyani and every other company on the market, you must first understand what sets Kyani so far apart.

· No Break Aways (You Never Lose A Leg, Ever)

· %100 Matching Checks On Any Personally Sponsored Distributor (Not %50 On The Smallest Leg Like Our Competitors Boast)

· 3 x 7 Forced Matrix (You Need Only Find 3, The Snowball Forces Growth Of Your Down-line)

· Unmatched Bonuses (You Make Money Right Away)

· Minimum %3.5 Commission On All Levels (For Life)

· Unlimited Leveling (Your Business Never Stops Growing)

· Ground Floor Opportunity (Read On)

· Unmatched Support (Your Up-line Loves You)

Kyani is on whats known as a Ground Floor. This business came to California in August of 2007. This business went international in May of 2008 to over 40 countries worldwide. Essentially, the room for growth potential in an “infant” company with the most incredible product to ever hit the market is obvious. Unlike its competitors, Kyani was created to allow for its Distributors to actually make money.

Kyani uses sample bottles to market its product. Unlike its competitors that require you to purchase the product before you even try it, they are so confident in their 8 day sample bottle that they guarantee a noticeable effect after and during the sample period. The ability to earn %100 matching checks is really the most notable aspect of their business plan. By matching checks, a distributor need not be a superstar, but can go out and find superstars and become incredibly wealthy.

There is also no “sign up cost” or bulk purchase housing. The Kyani distributor need not stock product in their home or at their office, the fully integrated ordering system allows a customer or distributor to receive their product every month without the independent distributor needing to “house” product. Kyani distributors need only buy a start up kit worth upwards of $600.00 that includes:

· 12 Sample Bottles

· 6 32oz Sunrise Bottles

· 2 90 Capsule Sunset Bottles

· Sunrise 1oz Travel Packs

· All Learning Materials

· DVD’s For Presentation

· Pamphlets, Brochures, ETC

· Folders And A Professional Zipper Planner

· Professional Web Site And Email Address

When you take into consideration the fact that most companies require that you pay a start up fee from anywhere between $120.00 to $1500.00. Once this fee is paid, the distributor receives a number and a slip of paper. Kyani is a real business, a real opportunity, and does not require you to pay a fee. Aside from that, most companies also require that you purchase a Bulk Order every single month to continue active membership in their business. Kyani requires only that you and your spouse purchase the minimum product required for you to actually take yourself.

The 32oz Sunrise bottles generally sell for anywhere between $55.00 and $75.00, the samples are actually sold at times for as much as $15.00 ea, the Sunset bottles sell for $55.00 to $75.00 as well. The travel packs sell for around $5.00 ea. The Kyani Starter pack was designed to allow a new distributor to make money quickly (generally within 2 weeks of product receipt) by providing a launch pad for the new distributor to “launch” their business. Kyani has their distributors in mind, they have to become millionaires for Kyani to succeed.

Kyani also provides incredible bonuses. For your first 3 distributors, you receive $25.00 a piece. You also receive $25.00 a person until your first three have their three. At this point, you hit director level. At director your new sign up bonus jumps from $25.00 to $100.00 a person. Not only that, if you hit director within your first 30 days you will receive and additional $500.00 bonus check. Essentially, new distributors can easily double their money within the first month of business. But, it gets better. As you gain more distributors, you level even higher and your bonuses increase. The second level from Director is the Executive Level. At this level Kyani Leases a brand new Cadillac Escalade for 2 years, pays the insurance, pays the maintenance, places a vinyl advertisement on the back windows with their logo and your phone number, then gives the vehicle to you. All that is required of the executive is that they put gas into their Escalade.

The Kyani Support System is also unmatched. Whether its on the computer, over the phone, or via a dvd player, the Kyani support system will practically guarantee the success of its new distributors. Not everyone can speak to a public audience, but the Kyani up-line has speakers who can present meeting for you. There are conference rooms, office buildings, and homes all across the country that are hosting Kyani speakers. The testimonials a Kyani distributor recieves are so ranged and varied that their is not nearly enough room to begin listing the ailments it has healed. Whether its speaking, marketing, or general business support, there is no other company as well equipped as Kyani. Further proof shows that other companies are actually losing distributors to Kyani on a daily basis.

The Kyai business has attracted Doctors, Nurses, Real Estate Agents, Insurance Agents, Lawyers, and an astonishing amount of other professionals. This opportunity is so new that the chances of having a single distributor in your state or country are very slim. Kyani owns the licensing to the use of these Alaskan Wild Blueberries, so they own the market. The trends are real, the business is designed to make you money, and the time is now. Don’t make this another opportunity you regret taking, you could be the top of your line, today.

Mona Vie, Herbalife, Noni, and Xango, are well respected and established. It is now Kyani’s turn, still at ground level and, ready to launch.

It is a very simple formula that can be duplicated by anyone who comes into the business. This business model is supposed to take all the things that are preventing the average person from succeeding, out of the equation.

Aldo Gonzalez from San Fernando Ca, young entrepreneur recently joined forces with Kyani. Aldo discovered it as a very sophisticated system that takes the stress away of running a network marketing business.

Here’s the deal.  I’m not a “big hitter” MLMer.  I’ve never done a Network Marketing company!  I just know that the products I’m dealing with here WORK.  And when something WORKS, people want to try it, and they’ll continue to use it.  Overall, you have 4 products here.  One being a calorie reducer called “CHEAT.”  You sprinkle this stuff on your food and it reduced your calorie intake by 25%.  Mathmatically you HAVE to lose weight.  (ex: 2000 calorie per day diet…just subtract 25% and you have 1500 calories per day.  500 less than before…less calories equals less stored energy, equals less fat on your body.  You lower your calories, you lower your weight.  It’s that simple.)  The other 3 products work with CHEAT to make the fat burning process quicker.  LEAN is a 44 calorie protein shake that gives you all the nutrients you need.  It replaces a meal.  FLUSH detoxifies your body and fat cells.  Clean fat cells burn much quicker than dirty fat cells.  Then ACCELERATE boosts your metabolism naturally and slightly.  No weird jitters or feeling badly. All of these products are ORGANIC.  That’s just like eating apples and oranges.  There are NO bad side effects, and nothing unhealthy about the products. 

Ok, so there’s that.  I have these products that WORK and I have a company that’s BRAND NEW.  I’m have a ground floor opportunity here.  Nice huh?  The date today is April 16th, 2009.  This company and opportunity is STILL new.  Cal Nutrasciences has been around for 25 years but these are the first products they’ve gone the MLM route with.  You have Ray Grimm and Paul Gravette leading us here. (google them, they’re good solid business men who’ve made a lot of money and really KNOW what they’re doing when it comes to Network marketing.)  Those two are making this thing soar.  We’ve done over 2 million in sales in our first 2 months!!  That’s almost unheard of! 

So the 3 things you need to have to make sure your Network Marketing company is going to make you money (BIG money):

1. GOOD products.  These products work, they have a 90 day money back guarantee, and people are losing an average of 8 to 25 lbs per month.

2.  A solid company behind you.  This is important!!  If the company falls apart within the first six months because it doesnt have good leaders running it, you’re out of a job.

3. Getting in EARLY.  You’re in this company within it’s first 3 months.  We’re still in prelaunch. 

So take a GOOD look at this opportunity.  Visit my website and sign up for free.  Call me, email me, talk to me.  I’ll let you know how it’s going, and I’ll give you every bit of information and help on how I’m building my business.  You’ll get your 1 on 1 training with ME, helping you build a business, and helping you make some money.  Good luck and I hope to talk to you soon.
