Hint: Anybody can complicate this business, but it takes a genius to simplify it.

One of the keys to success in sponsoring people who sponsor people is to have a proven duplicable system.

I have heard that since the first day I got into network marketing 29 years ago and almost every system that I have ever looked at has only duplicated failure.

The reason is that most of the trainers are teaching people to be just like them. Get out of your comfort zone and do what they did for success. These same people never got out of their comfort zone. They are telling people to do something they never did and they wonder why it doesn’t work the same for everyone else.

Simplified duplication is key to success.

When you have a prospect, what ever it is that you do to find them and sponsor them must be simple and duplicable. Those prospects watch what you do and they ask themselves, “Can I Do That?

So you have to be the person that does not do anything special with your own prospect. If you show them how much you know about this business, they are thinking, “I can not do that.” You lose. Why would they join you if they can’t do what you do to succeed.

Instead, play dumb. You want to show them how little they need to know, not how much. When they ask you a question, you say, “Well I don’t know the answer but I can put you on the phone with my sponsor and he can answer all your questions.”

Remember that 97% of everyone in network marketing is struggling. This approach works. Sure, there will be occasions where you talk to an experienced successful network marketer and this approach would be wrong but you better know your stuff if you change your approach.

Now who makes the least in network marketing?

The Expert.

No matter how much you know, you can’t be the expert with someone who can not duplicate the same thing.

You can’t be the sponsoring expert and expect to sponsor any of the 97% of people struggling to make this work.

You can’t be the product expert and expect anyone you train to do retail sales.

It always has to be simple; It always has to be duplicable.

Guys like my mentor, Tom “Big Al” Schreiter, know how to simplify for duplication.

What you really need to be successful in MLM is BELIEF. That is right, I said belief. If you do not believe in yourself, your company, your product or service, your success, then tell me how do you plan on succeeding?Penny Dude

It was not till I got the belief in me, my company and the big part was that I deserved success and I was going to get it.

How did I do this? Well it was by staying positive, going to as many live calls as I could that would motivate and teach me the skills I needed to help me be successful. I went to company functions, participated in those functions, picked the brains of other leaders, did self developement and focused on what I wanted.

But also being plugged into a system like Mentoring For Free that gives everyday with no agenda has really been an eye opener for me and many others. Having people give of themselves so you can learn, you can succeed, you can change, you can start to beleive you are someone special.

Hearing these words “Penny you are perfect just the way you are”, changed me completely.

Everyone in MLM talks about duplication and they all say you have to have duplication to achieve MLM success.

Then most of those same people show their downline an MLM System that does not duplicate success.

You may need some examples of systems that are said to duplicate but do not.Don Standard in the US Virgin Islands

Here is a good one. The friends and family list. The only thing duplicable about this duplicable MLM system is that anyone can make a list. But it usually gets worse. They call it training when they teach you to make your list. What! Who needs training to make a list of friends and family.

The friends and family list duplicates at about 3%. It always has. So you should say that it duplicates failure at a rate of about 97%. So if it duplicates failure, why does your upline ask you to do it? Because it works for them. Yes, it works for the upline, not for you. Your upline sees network marketing as a numbers game and you are just a number to them.

Today is Saturday. That means team call time. When it came time for the training part of the call, it was on MLM duplication. Now everyone in network marketing talks about having a duplicable system, but when you look at their systems, what they are duplicating the most is failure.

Don Standard, Penny Dude, and Michael DlouhyJust look at the failure rate in this business. The only thing duplicable about making a list of friends and family is that anyone can make the list. The only thing duplicable about buying leads is that all it takes is money or credit.

Network Marketing is about relationships. It is not about selling. It is not a numbers game. When your system includes selling and/or tells you this is a numbers game you will duplicate more failure than success.

The ebook, Success In 10 Steps, has changed my life completely, my personal life, my network marketing business, and my business life. The ebook taught me how to understand Network Marketing and how it is such a great opportunity. I was one of those people who came into Network Marketing with no prior knowledge of the business.

I had no friends or family doing network marketing. It was all new and very exciting. I joined a group and thought they had a duplicable system in place but I could never get to the point I wanted too. I worked very hard without the success I know I should have. Does this sound familiar? I spent thousands of dollars only to fill my upline’s pocket’s.

I was offered the E book, Success In 10 Steps, numerous times but Continue reading »
