Notes from Eric Worre
MLM Cold Market Mastermind Part 2

@ Club called Surrender

Another big gift I want to hand you today is my notes from Day 2 of the Eric Worre MLM cold market mastermind event. Some great nuggets in today’s video that you can watch below.

Day 2 Eric Worre MLM Mastermind

Eric Worre setup day 2 to be JAM-PACKED! Heard from my new friend Robert Blackman (direct mail guru), video queen Maria Andros, Heavy hitter Tim sales and my close friend Daegan Smith. I had some powerful epiphanies being in the crowd and if you take one piece of advice from me it is, GET YOUR BUTT TO MORE EVENTS! If you are in my team and are serious, make sure you are at our national convention in August in Orlando.

Anywho, I shot this video from the pool at the Green Valley Ranch so I didn’t wake anyone up in our room (all-star Pam Hermann crashed in our pad last night). So many powerful nuggets I learned yesterday that I share with you in the below video.

Video – Day 2 of Eric Worre MLM Cold Market Mastermind

Let me Help You

Do you see how slap silly easy my method of marketing is? Here is exactly what I do:

I invest in myself by buying programs and attending events, take notes on two different aspects (1) Action steps for me to take to improve my business and (2) what notes that I can teach to people on my email list (make sure you are on my email list by entering your name, email and optionally your phone number) in the upper right hand corner of this website.

If you provide value into your marketplace, you will be compensated. Learn that when you buy products or attend events, don’t just be a consumer, be a teacher and a marketer as well. By the way, if you missed day 1 of my notes on the Eric Worre MLM Mastermind event, you can see it here (click here).

How to Get People to Listen to You

How Do You Get People to Listen to You?

Ever get excited about your new network marketing business or something new with your home business and wanna share it with the people you know but no one will pay attention? Ever just wish you could get people to listen to you? This post will help.

How to Get People to Listen to You

There are a few rules about people you should know.

1. If you want someone to believe that you are a great conversationalist, let them talk about themselves.

2. People don’t like to be sold, but they DO like having their problems solved.

3. No one likes being pushed or told what they should do, for some people like me, it is grating to the nervous system to be told what to do.

So, how do you get people to listen to you? First of all you need to switch from being a salesperson of your opportunity and instead be a solver of other people’s problems. This means a lot more listening than most will get people to listen to you.

The Wrong Way To Get People To Listen (That most think works)

What most people think will get people to listen is IF they accomplish a bunch of stuff or get some results. Don’t get me wrong, this never HURTS but, you certainly do NOT need to wait until you get results to get people to listen to you OR, chances are you would never get those results.

Focusing on the other person is the key. Test this out at the next party you go to. Commit to saying as little about yourself as possible and commit to asking at least 100 questions that night. You will be amazed at how much rapport you build with people AND how they look forward to talking with you again.

Put another way, be more interested than interesting. Once you have listened to someone for 10+ questions you can use tactics like the indirect hook to get them to turn the attention to you.

Keeping Your Mouth Shut May Be Really Difficult

We all get excited about our business or what we are focused on. Realize that until you have rapport with someone, they simply are not very interested in what you have going on but would love to tell you their life story.

Understand that MOST people NEVER get listened to. Their spouse may not listen, their co-workers, perhaps even their family so when YOU listen, they will want to return the favor and you stand out as someone different.

Questions to ask to Get People to Listen to You (that will boost your MLM prospecting results)

I recorded a quick audio for you to listen to. This audio is ONLY questions that you can use to get people to listen to you, feel free to download the mp3 here and listen at your convenience.

How to Get Out of a Funk

How to Get Out of a Funk

You ever just feel like you have “lost it”?.. Lost the mojo you had at one point in your life, the energy to do something productive or just feel drained when you know you should be doing something for your business but you just don’t feel like it? You may know my story that I lost everything when the real estate market changed and for almost a year I was in a financial and mental coma, this post will help you learn how to get out of a funk and have the best year of your life!

1. How to Get Out of a Funk…Shift Your Focus

It is easy to be in a non-productive funk when you constantly are reminded of either what you don’t have or what you used to have but no longer have. The fastest way to start getting in the right mindset is to shift your focus from “what you don’t have” to “what you do have”. Have gratitude for the things in your life you DO have. Starting today, everyday, when you wake up and before you go to sleep, write down 10-20 things you are grateful for. Examples could be:

Lungs to breathe
Parents of Children that love you
The ability to get online to read and share this
The capacity to learn new things
The eyes to see the beautiful things around you

2. Change Your State

I wrote something on this way back in April of 2009 – Are you on the court or in the Stands?. This advice comes from the combination of Landmark Forum as well as Tony Robbins. If you are depressed and wanting to know how to get out of a funk…go do something that will engage your physical body! Go parasailing, bungee jumping or skydiving. Do something that will FORCE your mind to adapt and change to the new environment you placed yourself in. It’s impossible to think about “how bad things are” when you are falling from the sky or being pulled at a fast speed behind a boat. DO SOMETHING EXCITING…something that gets your heart racing and forces you to SNAP out of being all doom and gloom.

3. Losing Yourself in Work is EXACTLY what I did to Get out of my Funk

I was on top of the world. I was making a ton of money in real estate, had income producing properties and worked for myself. That is, until the Florida real estate market changed and overnight I went from making lots of money and having security to being dead broke, in personal foreclosure and having 7 other properties in Foreclosure. I was depressed. I got so mad one day looking at bills I kicked the filing cabinet in the garage. I wondered what the hell I did wrong and IF I would be able to go back to corporate America and beg for a job. That is, until I decided to “lose myself” in my work.

I created a trigger that ANYTIME I thought about how bad stuff was, I would instead choose to prospect for my business. I would reach out to someone on Facebook, call someone on the phone or even call a teammate to see if I could do a meeting for them or something. I went from wallowing in self-pity to making well over $10,000 a month within 5 months without doing ANYTHING else but this.

But Ray, I just have to get my “mindset right”

Wrong. You don’t. You will NEVER want to call leads or prospect. I also don’t believe anyone can Think their way to a better mindset, I believe you HAVE to take action to change your mindset. Wanna know how to get out of a funk? Work your business like the Devil has a contract on you. Work your business till your throat is sore from talking to so many people. Work your business so you hear so many no’s that you start to laugh at them. THEN, what will happen is BECAUSE IT IS A NUMBERS GAME, you will get one result, a tiny result, a small commission that you should then CELEBRATE like you won the friggin lottery! Well, for 5 minutes and then GET BACK TO WORK!

Wanna Feel Better? Lose yourself in your business, have gratitude and change your state and you WILL change your life!

3 Methods of Network Marketing Recruiting

3 Methods of Network Marketing Recruiting

Are you running out of ideas on finding new ways to increase your network marketing recruiting? This quick post will help you boost your sponsoring, increase your commissions and elevate your results in your MLM.

1. Network Marketing Recruiting Using Offline Attraction Marketing

About a year ago I had a private mastermind retreat that a small group of entrepreneur paid $9,000 per person to attend. Offline attraction marketing is a very powerful way to attract more people to you, in a very targeted way, that then turns into a powerful way to boost your network marketing recruiting. IF you wanted to attract, say, realtors, all you would do is run offline (you can also do this online) events or webinars that are aimed at solving the problems of your target audience. Watch the below video if this method interests you:

2. Network Marketing Recruiting Through Facebook

OK, so you are thinking, “Ray, this isn’t a new method to boost my network marketing recruiting!” bear with me here, it is certainly NOT a new method but SOOO many people do it the wrong way, it STILL needs to be taught. Here is a quick list of the things to do in your network marketing recruiting on Facebook:

1. Never send unsolicited links (learn to get them to ask you for it)
2. Focus on turning your cold market into your warm market by listening to them and building a genuine relationship.
3. Don’t just target a company and try to recruit out of it. It can ruin your reputation and it’s not professional.

If you would like to connect with me on Facebook, “Like” my page at Ray Higdon Facebook Page

3. How to Use Email to Boost Your Recruiting

Most people have NO clue how to communicate via email to their prospects to actually get them interested in your home business opportunity. In fact, most network marketers do everything to turn OFF their prospects by the email messages they send. Most marketers come off as desperate and create resistance and doubt in the minds of their prospects.

You can recruit using email but there are certain rules you must adhere to. Here are a few:

1. Focus on the prospect, not you or even what excites you.
2. Like on Facebook, look to generate interest BEFORE you blast your link.
3. Know how to get people to check out your opportunity, even if they are already in one AND without turning them off.

Tonight, at 9pm est, I am doing a webinar with MLSP on How to Recruit Through Email. It is a Free webinar that you can register here and attend tonight. You will learn a lot of secrets I have never shared with anyone before and learn exactly how you can run up the leaderboards in your company, win trips, and create envy amongst your fellow network marketers.

Notes and Clips from the Marketing Mastermind Event

The Cake

This past weekend I hosted an awesome Network Marketing Mastermind and wanted to share with you all my notes and some fun video clips. If you were able to attend, be sure to leave your comments at the bottom on the #1 thing you learned.

Some Notes From the Marketing Mastermind

We started out on Saturday with Michelle Pescosolido, known as the Facebook Advertising Queen. What was amazing (and I had never seen anyone actually do this before) is she opened up her actual ads and showed the crowd EXACTLY what she was doing to get up to 39% click through rates for less than $1! She even showed step by step, how to create a Facebook ads campaign from scratch. Probably the coolest thing she shares was how to segment your ads so they only targeted a maximum of 2,000 people so that you could be more custom in your message.

Saturday afternoon we brought up the heavy hitter, Daegan Smith. Daegan is the king of traffic and has a powerful training for affiliates that he dove into at the Marketing Mastermind. The thing that drew a gasp from the crowd was Daegan logging into his infusionsoft back office and showing the payments he received from the month before…over $267,000! Holy moley right! Then, Daegan broke it down EXACTLY how he has positioned himself, how you can get traffic easily and even shared with the crowd how to build your list when you are a brand new marketer. After day 1, almost every person in the room felt they got thousands, and thousands of dollars worth of training already, it was amazing!

LOL

Marketing Mastermind VIP Party!

Saturday night was the VIP party at my house and it was a blast! I had my good friend Terry Petrovick share his story on how he has not only made millions in the network marketing industry but more importantly how he has helped OTHERS make millions in this industry. There was some great networking and I even busted out the custom cake I had made (it was red velvet and DELICIOUS!). We rocked it out most of the night and had a blast with all the speakers and VIP attendees.

Sunday Morning at the Mastermind

Sunday morning we had my good friend Roxanna Hannah from My Lead System pro get up and get us all motivated and fired up. She is awesome (check out the pic of us cutting the cake, lol).

After Roxanna got us fired up and understanding that our best investment is in ourselves, we brought up legendary Rhino Jerry Clark. Jerry, in case you didn’t know, is awesome and taught us how to monetize value and information in only the style that Jerry can. I loved when he talked about how to get ten times the value out of any education you ever purchase, I know a lot of people were really excited after his talk.

I went on after Jerry and talked about value and how to dominate any business industry. I put some of my talks (and a little from the other speakers) in the below video that I think you will enjoy. If you did not have a chance to attend the marketing mastermind, or, if you did, leave me a comment on what you would like to see in future masterminds or what you got out of this one if you did attend.

Create Products or Build Your MLM Business Opportunity?

Create Products or
Build Your MLM Business Opportunity?

Funny lol

With the Internet age it is real popular nowadays to create your own MLM products around training or coaching but is this the right move or should you focus more on your MLM business opportunity? This is a tough question and we will tackle it in this blog post.

Products or Your MLM Business Opportunity?

In the last year or so I have created a lot of different training products and I think a lot of people wonder which is my main focus, am I more focused on my MLM business opportunity or creating products?

My focus is and always will be building my residual income and I believe network marketing is the lowest risk and lowest overhead way to do this. However, from learning from the greats like Orrin Woodward, Randy Gage, Eric Worre, Big Al Schrieter, Dani Johnson and many, many others, it is cool IF you have an abundance mindset and AFTER you build a network marketing business legitimately to share some of your knowledge with the industry and be able to give back AND make a profit doing so. Here is what I have noticed of lately though is a LOT of people creating training products as a means to make a living BEFORE they have built a successful MLM business opportunity (or have no intention of doing so) and I think that approach is too “job-like” and may not be the best use of someone’s initial time.

But won’t people in a different MLM business opportunity use your training to build something else?

This is a question from someone who only believes there is only so much to go around. I believe, like many of the trainers I mentioned before, that we live in an abundant world where ALL of us (without hurting each other) can make millions and impact millions in this industry. IF you have value that you have learned overtime that people WANT, help the industry out and get it out there BUT I would never want to rely solely on a training/product business as that seems like too much work to me lol. Fun for the time being, but give me that fat residual income check ANYDAY!

Some Gotchas To Know About IF you create generic training

IF you decide to follow my suggestion on building a successful MLM business opportunity BEFORE you create products (it is what I did) then there are some things you want to be aware of:

1. You will have team members that misunderstand your intentions. They may even complain about you to corporate. They don’t see that the more value you put out there the better exposure the company and opportunity get and the more people you will attract into your business and just see you as a distracting force.

Remedy for this is to not let this bring you down, it WILL happen, you stay the course and you will outlast this concern. MLM trainers have been doing this since the early years of network marketing and there are many successful teams that were built by generic trainers. IF you are addicted to the idea of no one ever talking behind your back or you want everyone to approve 100% of what you do, it ain’t gonna happen IF you create another income stream through MLM products.

2. You will want to stick with one company. To create products and also jump around may be just too much and could very well damage your reputation.

3. Creating products and coaching people outside your company is sorta like a job. NOT the way I want to rely on the majority of my income but fun to do and VERY educational for all parties. My main income (by far) is still my MLM business opportunity and to continue to grow that IS the way to go in my opinion and my suggestion for you!

OK, but what do YOU think?

I realize this is NOT an easy topic to cover, what do you think? Do you think one should wait until they have success in their company like I did and believe? Or, is that hogwash or is EVER creating generic MLM products a bad idea? Gimme your valuable feedback at the bottom!

3 Facebook Recruiting Mistakes That Make You Look Dumb

3 Facebook Recruiting Mistakes
That Make You Look Dumb

Some of you might agree with me that the way people are attempting Facebook recruiting is getting a little out of hand. People are missing some core steps when attempting to recruit on Facebook and this post aims to help us all have a better time on Facebook.

Should You Even Bother With Facebook Recruiting?

Of course you should, it’s a goldmine. Anywhere there are ridiculous numbers of people hanging out for ridiculous amounts of time, that is fertile prospecting ground but before you dive into the masses and start beating people over the head with your network marketing business opportunity…there are some rules you should follow and some mistakes to avoid.

1. Attempting Facebook Recruiting With a Poor Profile is Dumb

The other day someone sent me a standard message pitching me on how awesome their comp plan was. Just for kicks I took a look at their profile and every other status update had a curse word and one of them was apparently directed at their ex-boyfriend (it was pretty raw). IF you are going to attempt to recruit someone into a business, you might consider at least pretending to be professional on your Facebook profile.

2. Facebook Recruiting via Spamming Always Works, Right?!?

The only thing worse than no results is negative results. If you want to turn off your friends, have them de-friend you and talk behind your back, then just place them all in a massive Facebook message pitching them your business. The terrible thing about this is when people reply to complain (and they will), everyone sees their responses and it confirms what everyone was already thinking and they join in the fray until your Facebook cred is battered, bloodied and bruised. NEVER send mass messages when you are attempting Facebook recruiting, it will never work.

3. The Facebook Recruiting Drive By

This is the worst. Someone on Facebook takes a blatant sales message and just sends you a private message with their link to their MLM opportunity. Here are some examples:

“Hey Ray, I see you are into Network Marketing, me too! Listen, I thought of you when I found this amazing opportunity and I think with your connections you could REALLY do amazing with it!!

Check out the video at www.IamClueless.com/mythingyIgetpaidon

Good connecting with you and look forward to hearing back from you! – Lynda Newbie”

OK, so why is that so bad? First, it is disingenuous. We never actually “connected”, she just did a drive by on me and her poorly thought out message was meant to get me excited, which, it doesn’t as it looks more desperate than professional.

This is a major rule when it comes to Facebook recruiting…NEVER send an “unsolicited link” to anyone. Let me help you understand why…

Social Media is Like a House Party

How would you react if you were hanging with some friends at a house party and a guy charged through the group throwing his business card at everyone? It’s just a numbers game right? WRONG. Not in social media and not at a house party. To get better at Facebook recruiting, connect by asking questions, and then when the timing is right, talk to them about your opportunity. The good news is so many are doing Facebook recruiting totally wrong, YOU stand out when you do it right. The best Facebook recruiting training I have personally ever seen is actually…my wifes!
