#1 Reason People Fail: The first and foremost reason why most people fail in network marketing is from simply a lack of leads.
Most new distributors are all taught to do the same thing when they get started - those three dreaded words - "make a list". This "list" is of course your closest friends and family that you can go after and pitch your products or opportunity to. This strategy does still hold some merit and was successful in the late 70's and 80's, however does not work as well in 2001. Many people have been burned with this technique in the past or just simply do not feel comfortable going after their center of influence yet. So what is the solution?
1st BMI Secret for Success: BMI recommends using a tested, proved lead generation and support services company called ProSTEP that can supply you with a never ending source of pre-qualified prospects. ProSTEP, Inc. has been in business over 6 years now and is one of our industry's best kept insider secrets for supplying fresh, MLM specific leads. Imagine having anywhere from 150-1050 of these leads funneled to you and your downline each month. Have you ever been told that MASSIVE ACTION = MASSIVE RESULTS? Sure, we all have!
All of these leads have expressed an interest in starting a home based business and tend to be very responsive and open minded. 100% of the leads have addresses and phone numbers and here's the best part: almost 93% of the leads come with an email address! This makes follow up a breeze and also of course FREE. Your only job is to make contact with these leads and present your opportunity.
The cost you might ask? How about only .57 to $1 per lead. If you know anything about advertising, you know that this is a very low cost. If you are unsure, try running some ads in your local papers, see how many responses you get then divide that number by the amount of $$$ you spent on your ads. You will probably come up to a cost of about $5 or even more per lead. Ouch. There is even a little known SECRET how you can get your leads ever for FREE that we will share at the very end of this article. So STAY TUNED to the end for this SECRET!
#2 Reason People Fail: Unfortunately, people in network marketing never get the kind of support and training they need to truly become an MLM Pro and earn significant income.
Think about it - what can you do where you can earn over $100,000 per year and not get educated beforehand? Nothing. Doctors, lawyers, and corporate executives all attend higher education prior to entering their professions. So why is network marketing different? It isn't, my friend. You still need to take it upon yourself to study, learn and train to become the type of person who actually deserves to earn a six figure income. Most people, are not fortunate enough to be exposed to the type of mentor or upline who can provide this type of personal support.
2nd BMI Secret for Success: Expose yourself to ProSTEP's progressive, cutting-edge training in sales, marketing and use of technology. Just view ProSTEP as your adopted upline. Imagine having access to training calls, autoresponders and a complete archive of training-ALL done by some of the TOP PROFESSIONALS in the entire industry. For example, learn exactly how to most effectively work your leads via email or phone from the best of the best. Learn how to qualify, present, overcome objections, ask for the order, plus how to train, build and motivate your group --- all over the phone or online!
#3 Reason People Fail: Not understanding the importance of having a simple, highly duplicatable system, though which to funnel their prospects. The facts are clear: 90-95% of the people that you come in contact with are NEVER going to join your program. Period. These people are just not interested!
Rejection and negativity from this group is what causes most distributors to QUIT within their first 90 days. No matter how good you are on the phone or in person, a distributor needs to get used to that word "no". How can you find those "gold nugget" distributors that we are all looking for?
3rd BMI Secret for Success: Learn how to precisely sift and sort through your leads and improve your conversion rate of prospects to distributors from an industry average 5% to a WHOPPING 50% -- for real! This represents a 1000% increase in effectiveness and efficiency! This IS our most powerful technique of all! These leverage creating techniques have created a major BUZZ about ProSTEP within the last 12 months. In fact, this third secret is SO CRITICAL to your success today, we cannot share it with just anyone. If you would like to learn about this 3rd BMI secret, please visit our web site and request our FREE TAPE, "Secrets to Marketing Like An MLM Pro!"

#4 Reason People Fail: People simple run out of money! This is one of the least talked about subjects in our industry. Let's face it folks --- distributors spend money on products, sales aids, long distance phone bills, postage, etc. Most people go deep into debt before they ever make their first dollar. And before you know it, you have an "I-told-you-so" spouse or friend, your confidence goes down, doubt sets in and the distributor is out of the business.
4th BMI Secret for Success: Drop your advertising budget to ZERO by getting FREE leads each month, plus create a secondary profit center within your existing MLM opportunity. Think about it - the one thing that people in any type of sales always have and always will need are LEADS. Lots of them - and GOOD ones. How many other people do you know in your company or another one? Think about that. All you need to do is simply introduce only 3 other subscribers to ProSTEP and from that point forward your leads are FREE. Just to be clear, you do not have to refer 3 new people every month, JUST ONE TIME. As long as they get leads - yours are FREE.
In addition, you can also make a significant sideline income promoting ProSTEP to others in the MLM industry. How much can you earn? As the old saying goes, that depends on YOU. To give you an example of what is possible, here are WBI's earnings in the time they've been promoting ProSTEP to the industry (WBI is the organization we are affiliated with)...
1996...80K
1997...120K
1998...220K
1999...320K
2000...420K
Plus, we are proud to say that we have taught many other leaders within ProSTEP that are now also pulling down 10K-15K per month! Not bad for a "secondary program" huh? Just realize that they did it all while they were focusing on another "primary program" - and you can too! Interested? BMI has set up an entire turnkey system to make it very easy for you to introduce ProSTEP to other network marketers.
BMI's mission statement is simple: To simply help you get your ProSTEP leads for FREE, help you understand how to access all the ProSTEP tools and training, and show how YOU TOO, can earn a significant secondary income if you desire, by promoting ProSTEP to others. Our sincere hope and prayer is that this information has provided some value to you.
Best wishes and make it a great sponsoring day!

It's truly amazing how very little it takes to be a truly great salesperson, just most people don't realize it or believe it, if they hear it!
To start things off with a bang, let's take a look at a little "magic word," that brings even the greenest of the greenhorns immediate success in sales. What is that word?
Here it is. The magic word is: A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y.
Why? What's so special about that word?
To understand why that word is so special, observe the following two sales laws:
1. Nothing sells like SINCERITY.
Really?
Yes, ABSOLUTELY!
2. People translate CONFIDENCE into VALUE.
How do people translate confidence into value?
Simple.
People observe the level of confidence the seller exudes in his or her product or service. When the confidence is extremely high, people are more likely to believe the value of the product or service is high. But, when the seller has little confidence, people suspect the product or service is of questionable value.
Is this really true?
ABSOLUTELY!!!
You must understand something: people buy or reject your level of confidence before they ever buy or reject your product or service.
Let's take a look at ENTHUSIASM.
Enthusiasm makes sales.
If you don't have it, your sales ability suffers badly.
People buy excitement.
Are you excited?
Are you enthusiastic?
Are you sincere?
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Ever notice that you won't represent what you don't believe in? Nothing wrong with that, to a certain extent. But, you don't want to have your standards set so high that you fail to bring values to others, just like you don't want to set your standards so low that you fail to bring values to others.
But, what do I mean by that?
What does it mean that both high and low personal standards can rob people of values you could bring them?
Think about it. If you presume you are above a thing, you won't represent it with sincerity and enthusiasm to others. Yet, if your standards are too low, others won't get any value out of what is worthless.
The key is to find the middle of the road, then get excited.
As a promoter, I can tell you assuredly that no one would buy from me if I didn't project enthusiasm into what I'm doing, if I didn't show confidence in what I represent, and if I didn't display sincerity.
If you don't have many sales, examine the key elements of what you've been projecting.
Are you showing people the kind of confidence that tells them what you offer is worth it, ABSOLUTELY?
Are you projecting the SINCERITY, that nothing else sells like?
Are you deliberately magnetizing your personality and your offer with ENTHUSIASM?
If not, correct these things. You've already proven that an inferior attitude produces inferior results.
Just as surely, a superior attitude will produce superior results.
It isn't difficult. It is prescribed. It's not about who you are. It's about who you project.
Follow this simple prescription for sales success and you too will SELL LIKE A CHAMPION ABSOLUTELY!!!

HATE is my Master
Despair is my Hero
Love is but a shadow
Want is the ghost who knocks on my door
Decay is my future, for no reason do I possess,
lost in the midst of chaos
and misunderstanding;
GREATNESS, but for a fleeting moment;
The pen that lays asleep,
never to move again,
dried ink and paper abound,
no hand to move the pen in hope of
things that cold be;
the Beast is born to lay the land awaste,
no drop of reason to quell
its consuming appetite of decay...
