Strengthen Your Business Foundation:4 Fantastic Steps That Will Make Your MLM Stand Forever

Thursday, November 26th, 2009 at 10:51 am

Foundation: (noun) – the basis or ground work of anything.

You need a strong foundation for anything that you try to build. That may be a house, a snow fort, a sky-scraper, even pitching a tent. This is equally true if you’re building an MLM business.

Although you may not believe it, your “company” is not the foundation. Your product isn’t either, nor is the compensation plan or your upline support or company training. Each of these add to the overall strength, but they’re not the foundation.

YOU are your MLM biz’s foundation. You are the rock upon which your future success is built.

Wow! Daunting, isn’t it?

In terms of buildings, if the foundation is poor, a building will fall apart from the bottom up. It will rot, fall in, tip over, crumble… basically lose all value and become worthless.

What is the “foundation otherwise known as YOU”? It’s the compilation of your wisdom and understanding that you make available to your reps. teach.

This is what is loosely called “a system”. This marketing system must be reproduceable by your team reps so they can in turn teach their own reps.

Here’s the basics of what you need to build a strong foundation for your MLM business.

1. Committment. This is a no brainer. You must be committed to working at building your business. You need to have realistic expectations. Building a business in network marketing is not like playing the lottery: you won’t get rich in 3 months. Make a plan, and stick to it!

2. Build a marketing plan. Again, there is no “get rich quick” scheme here. Get a coach/mentor to sit with you and work out a marketing plan that you can commit to in respect to content, time, and cost. Then stick to it! A plan is only going to work for you if you follow it.

3. Employ a marketing system. This is your lead generating sales funnel that brings leads to you, and puts prospects in your own MLM business. You want to hit your target market – which is other network marketers or people looking for a home based business. More than 100,000 people per day join an MLM around the world. Your system is what will give you access to them.

4. Use SLO’s – Self Liquidating Offers. These are the affiliates you market that pay you for referring a customer to them. In most cases you do not have to buy their product to sign up as an affiliate marketer. These are what will pay for your marketing system by producing income while you build your lead lists and your own MLM, ensuring that your MLM commissions stay in your pocket.

Having these foundation builders in your pocket, you are now in the position to lead your group. Believe it or not, people will not join your business because they think your opportunity is the greatest. They’ll join because they think your leadership is the greatest. They want someone who can show them how to build a huge organization upon a indestructible foundation.

You have to prove to then that you are that leader.

As a leader, you are looking for prospects who are open minded and able to learn how to use proven tools in a system that is replicateable. I would rather have 10 reps building huge downlines of hundreds and thousands of reps than hundreds of reps who sign up 3 reps each- which is all the average network marketer ever gets!

You are your business foundation, irregardless of how much help you get from your upline and company.

I urge you to introduce yourself to a system (and I seriously don’t care which one), learn it thoroughly and teach it to your reps. Build your foundation -YOU- with strong tools and materials. Make your knowledge of this industry and how to effectively market absolutely bomb proof.

Or watch your MLM collapse on itself.
