Melanie Milletics' MLM List Building

If you missed the Real Wahms radio show with Melanie Milletics, you will want to listen to the rebroadcast for sure…Especially if you want to have a presence on the Internet with your company or product!

Melanie gave us some simple steps and reasons why she has created massive results for her own business using social media and Internet marketing to help support her home business!  She covered the simple online setup she gives the instructions for free at www.sponsoringsuccess.net and how using automated tools frees up her time to be MOM while the machine keeps cranking to produce leads that convert to enrollments and customers.

There is an unseen aspect to Network Marketing Success that you must tap into if you wish to truly reach the next level. In fact, it is the one thing that will help you get to the next level – to enable you to qualify for that next rank in your compensation plan.

Its easier to explain exactly how it has played out in my business over & over again than to try to describe it outright first.

Example #1 When I enrolled in ViSalus last year, I declared that I would be a Director in my first week working the business.  I went to work and immediately enrolled the 2 people who had been waiting to hear back if ViSalus was all it appeared to be.  With 2 enrolled needed just 1 more new business partner to hit Director.  I had no real idea of who my hot prospects were and just days to qualify.  I sent an email to my list and expected a massive response, but did not get it… and on the last day of the week, in the last hours to qualify, someone I had not spoken to in 3 years connected with me on Facebook. As you may have guessed – this gentleman trusted me when I told him this was IT, and he was my 3rd enrollment.

I had declared I’d be Director that week – having no idea how I would accomplish it – and the universe conspired to make it so.

Example #2 Flash forward 4 months and ViSalus threw out a $1000 bonus for those who qualified for Regional Director in the month of October.
Well, throw me a bonus like that and I simply MUST qualify.
Now, I worked all month to get that qualification done… but as the last days of the month came I felt tapped out – I had not another good prospect to call, not another good email blast to send.

It was 11:00pm on October 31st, on Halloween, and I had not yet qualified.

A lead came through – and the area code was from California, so I figured what the heck – I’d call since it was only 9pm his time.  The gentleman on the other line seemed like a lookey-loo, like a tire kicker, but I was patient and asked him a few key questions.   Turned out he had over 100lbs to lose… and I had him signed up for an ESS less than 10 minutes later!

And I was BMW qualified – with minutes to spare.

Example #3 Flash forward to February 2009 -
ViSalus throws out another bonus offer of $1000 on stage for BMW qualifiers – and I decide to run my husband’s position to Regional and BMW qualified.
I texted my intention to my mentor Pete Bunting ~ and went to work.
Now, that second position was no where NEAR qualified, and I had like no one at all even close to Director to help. I was starting virtually from scratch.  But I set the goal, I declared my intention – and I knew it would be DONE.

I honestly don’t even remember the last events that got that position qualified. I worked harder than I ever had in my life. I pushed past my own boundaries and helped people accomplish their goals in order to get it DONE. We had 5 people hit Rising Star Director that month and they were all in Denver to celebrate. It was wonderful!

And yes, you’d better believe that I qualified that second position -
Thats what the 2 in this photo is about – thats not a peace sign

Does it stop there? No way!

I’ve re-qualified for Regional Director status with a random online customer coming through with a $200 order at 11pm on the last day of the month. I’ve qualified for the “pool bonus” more times than most others in the company – simply because I KNOW I WILL and work as if its already done.

Example #4 In June of 2010 one of my primary support upline, Bonzi, was running for Presidential Director.  It was 10pm and he needed like $2000 in volume by midnight to get it done and he was totally tapped out.  The leaders of the team made calls to downline asking them to dig deep and find just one customer to help Bonzi qualify – and $1200 in volume came through in just 1 hour.  And then, when it seemed like there was no more to be found, my phone rang with a call from Missouri.  The woman on the other line was calling to enroll – with the $999 package!  The magic had happened yet again. Bonzi was qualified for PD!

So what exactly is this unseen aspect- what is going on in my business that when I declare a goal as met, and go to work as if it is already done, that it is unquestioningly accomplished?  Is it the Law of Attraction?  Am I just lucky? Only if you know that the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Its true that the wise man’s prayer is one of thanks for that is yet to come. To believe that those things not yet seen will come to be is crucial. You must believe that your goal is already met and the take the necessary action that will result in that goal becoming a reality.

The Law of Attraction requires that you not only expect it to happen – but that you work to make it so.  A vision board becomes a pipe dream if you sit on your buns in front of the TV.

In each of the examples I gave above, what you cannot know is that in my own mind & heart I held on to the belief that I would reach my goal – right up until it was accomplished. There was never a point where I let doubt creep into my mind.  Like a child who knows Santa will bring her gifts, I knew that my gifts would arrive. I knew that my prayer of thanks was already answered.  And in each of the examples given above, I WORKED right up until the last minute, talking with people, enrolling them and doing the tasks that move my business forward.

I didn’t sit and visualize ~ I worked.

Right now you may need to borrow my belief.  If you haven’t yet made the money you want to make in Network Marketing, you may not even have it in your heart to KNOW that enrollments do come – that people do duplicate – and that freedom is at hand.  You may need to borrow my belief.

You need to know in your heart of hearts that you will achieve what you set your mind to.

Faith is a spiritual gifting that is present in the Entrepreneur. It is obedience to a calling, risk taking in response to a vision – a believing wholeheartedly in the unseen. You have been called to greatness ~ it is time to step out in faith ~ Melanie Milletics

Open your heart and mind to the reality that you deserve to have things happen in this manner for you.  You are deserving of all the wonderful things this world has to offer.  In fact, they were created for you, by the same One who created you.  Follow the instructions of your mentors and walk in faith, doing the tasks laid out by those who have gone before you to be successful.

If you have not already listened to the interview about what it really takes to be successful in the Network Marketing Industry – listen NOW.

Set a nice big goal for this month, and work knowing it will be achieved. When it comes to pass, please leave me a comment!

In this post from Attraction Marketing Expert Ann Sieg
you’ll discover a timeless, proven, and
very powerful sales secret that’s virtually guaranteed
to help you unload more product each month… no matter
what MLM company you’re with – and no matter what products
you’re selling!

Once mastered and wielded properly, this secret can make
you money hand over fist, leaving other distributors in
your company dumbfounded – wondering how you consistently
pull it off!

The secret which I’m about to reveal, applies to anyone…
selling anything… in any industry. It’s NOT exclusive to
just network marketers and the MLM industry.

After reading this, you’ll view “what” you’re peddling
to your prospects in a whole different light.

Want to know what it is?

Well… it’s only 6 words – and comes in the form of a
question:

“What Do My Prospects Really Want?”

It sounds simple I know, but let’s delve beneath the
surface and really get our hands dirty – because there’s
A LOT more to this question than meets the eye.

——————————

Forgive me if I’m not active on the forums-
Or participating in all of your Facebook groups-
Or holding training webinars for the industry-
Or updating my blog every day-
Or making sure my blogs and websites have the newest –coolest design esthetic.

I’m actually building a Network Marketing Business.

That’s right. I’m not just a wanna be guru trainer type who calls herself an expert in teaching ‘attraction marketing’ who spends her day on Twitter and Facebook chattering away… talking up a storm about what Im an expert in.

Whoa – I haven’t even produced a good quirky video in awhile to tell you how super cool I am.

Intead, I’m actually building a Network Marketing business.

And its not a ‘shovels’ business either…  know what Im sayin? Shovels are smart- and I sell those too- but I’m working with a company that has products that have real value in the marketplace beyond the ‘home based business buyers’ market.

I’m (gasp) on the phone with prospects who have contacted me about my business. I’m qualifying them and helping those who I’d like to work with to make the decision to start their business with our rock-solid , yet incredibly progressive company.  I’m then doing Success Training for those folks – making sure they have the Foundation of the ViSalus Academy.  That training has a permanent place on my desktop. I’m thrilled to say that I help a new entrepreneur work their way through that training every day – sometimes more than one new entrepreneur a day.

I’m seeing the results of my work – watching the leaders emerge. Learning to recognize who the 30%ers, 60%ers and 100%ers are – and spending time with them accordingly.  I’m watching duplication happen, and finally leverage.  True residuals building.  Its quite awesome.

Sure, I still have a nice income from my automated affiliate income – the links I’ve weaved into my content over the years serve me well.  But I am very much aware that that is seed money – it isn’t the big picture. I don’t get paid residually on those sales… there are no leaders to develop that can produce millions.  I know where to FOCUS.

My psychological input – my energy – is not on the front end sale. Its shifted. I know the residual income dream is alive and well and I am grabbing ahold of that business model with both hands.

So forgive me if my online presence has a DIY appearance.  You can’t judge a book by its cover- you know what I mean?
If you want to align yourself with a ‘leader ‘who just met Mike Dillard or Ann Sieg a year or two ago and has themselves a nice shiny look – who has learned to say all the right things.  In other words – is a ‘wanna be’. Then go right ahead. I cant stop you.

Or… you can have actual faith that what I tell you is true.
I’ve been at this game since 2001.
I’m no wanna be. Don’t let my DIY appearance fool ya.

I can boil my message down to one line -
Learn internet marketing and communication /phone skills and you will be unusually successful.

You have an MLMer mentality? Then I’m not your guide. Go find an ‘Attraction  Marketing’ expert  with a pretty website… maybe they can help you with that.

Peace

Now more than ever you need to learn recession proof skills.

Your success in your Home Based Business depends on it!

Case in point:

Two Renegade students just closed on new homes last week!

One is a guy who cleans houses for a living and the other is a home school mom of three who just became a single parent.

Now, a year or so ago this would have been a really big deal.

But in today’s huge economic crisis of banks going belly up, people losing their jobs and massive foreclosure rates this is not only a big deal… it’s a HUGE deal.

But look, it’s not just because of the uncertain economic times that make this news special.

More special is “WHO” and “WHY” these Renegade students are closing on new homes.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY — WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE?

2009 is officially gone, and I could very easily simply leave it behind me. There were some major personal upheavals that happened, and in the sake of sanity… sometimes you just have to look forward, right? I mean, isn’t that what every personal development book under the sun tells you? Forgive, forget, and move on, lest your own baggage will keep you way, way down?

Sometimes, but not in the case of the story of 2009, and isn’t Melanie Milletics just incredibly LUCKY???

Ha, no way – the harder I work, the luckier I get.

First, a brief explanation of who I am, what I do, and how all the pieces of this 2009 story fit together. I’m a wife, mother, and primary bread winner in the household. Mom’s little home based business became awfully profitable after she learned a the power of List Building. I’m a Network Marketer who generates her own leads online through what people now call Web 2.0, and more recently ‘attraction marketing‘. In plain speak, I have a large subscriber base that is primarily made up of people who are either home business buyers, seekers, or simply curious. I work to entertain said subscribers by posting informative lessons on this here blog… and a good number of those people decide they like me enough to work with me in my Network Marketing company. Those that don’t may decide to buy one of the information products or services I review for them. I’m extremely careful about what I recommend to my subscribers… after all, I want them to like me and stay subscribed I only share those things I have personally used and found to be beneficial, or educational and of value. I’ve been building this list of subscribers since 2006 … and that list is literally GOLD. Its because of that list that much of what you see below was made possible.

So, without further ado, 2009 in video review.

The first video was actually taken in November of ‘08, but its very applicable to this story. See, its all about my getting the best home based business tax course in existence for FREE. Yep, my ‘lucky star’ was shining while I was cruising, and Sandy Botkins handed me Tax Strategies for Business Professionals, a course worth about a grand. I won it – and it really made a difference in how I tracked my business income and expenses in 2009. After all, I want to KEEP as much of the money I earn as possible.

I actually am pretty ‘lucky’. I just expect that great things will happen to me, and that life will be sweet. Most of the time I get what I expect. Imagine that…

In early 2009 I decided to expand ‘Me Inc’ and my online real estate. Since I had been building my own list since 2006, it made perfect sense to start MLM List Building Secrets. I also started to provide training webinars for my subscribers to teach them the methods I had used to become the top enroller in my company using 100% online marketing methods.

In the spring of 2009 the Renegade Network Marketer, Ann Sieg, announced the merging of the Renegade System with with Mike Klinglers Marketing Merge. She asked me to be a coach for the system and to provide exclusive training on my expertise, MLM list building. They ran a affiliate promotion to enroll Renegade Professional students, and I was the #1 affiliate for leads generated, and in the top 3 for sales.

The video is actually a thank you to my friend Mike Dillard ~ for it was his Magnetic Sponsoring course that I purchased back in 2005 that really changed my money pit of a home business into a cash cow. It’s also what helped me to become the #1 woman affiliate in the MLM niche

As the Renegade Professional and the launch of Mike Dillard’s Better Networker increased the number of Network Marketers who were attempting to build their business online, it became clear to me that there was alot of confusion about ‘best practices’. Since I had been studying top internet marketers since 2001, I had a very clear idea of how to best set up a home based business online. I felt an overwhelming need to tell everything I knew, and knew I could help those who were struggling to establish themselves online to get it done right the first time. I created a free membership site at www.SponsoringSuccess.net and provided clear instructions on how to build a Network Marketing business online.

In probably the most technically complex tasks of my life, I launched SponsoringSuccess.net membership site, a web based resource to help the home based business owner succeed wildly online.

In the summer of 2009 Mike Dillard announced the release of the Traffic Formula 2 course, and an incredible affiliate contest.  While traveling to Los Angeles to investigate my potential new Network Marketing home, I participated in the affiliate launch and was the only woman on the top 10 leaderboard.  Ultimately, I ended up in lucky 13th place… but hey, I was traveling!

Mike Dillard used my video on the sales page – and subsequently asked me to be an Instructor at Better Networker.

In June I officially made my move to work with ViSalus Sciences, a Network Marketing company who’s marketing system, the Vi-Net, is actually a social networking site that directly integrates with sites like Facebook and Twitter to make Social Media Marketing easy.  In July, ViSalus launched the Nationwide Body By Vi Challenge, and I launched my own 90 Day Challenge Vlog at www.my-body-by-vi.com .

I set out to transform my body – and spent the next 90 days focused on my own health.  You can see the videos I created in the archives at www.my-body-by-vi.com .

I put all of my effort and focus into building up ViSalus, and by the time the ViSalus Fusion Academy came to Tampa, I had a couple of excellent accomplishments recognized!

I had achieved the rank of Regional Director, and the BMW Bonus!

I also earned a Free Cruise for being a Top Producer in the Body By Vi Challenge.

The end of 2010 was all about helping those people I had gotten started in the fall to get up to speed and making money… after all, thats how this business model works!

2009 was pretty spectacular, considering all that I set my mind to accomplish.  The bar is now raised, and the first set goals for 2010 are already on paper.  I’ll continue to grow my list and provide valuable training to those who seek to have a profitable internet based business. I’ll continue to climb the ranks in ViSalus by training others with the methods of the Fusion Academy.   I know the goals I have written will come to pass, for I am unstoppable.

Faith is a spiritual gifting that is present in the Entrepreneur. It is obedience to a calling, risk taking in response to a vision – a believing wholeheartedly in the unseen. You have been called to greatness ~ it is time to step out in faith. http://budurl.com/liveyourdreams

What are your goals for 2010? Have you taken the time to examine what you have achieved and how you can build on your successes?  Please tell me your goals for 2010, in the comments below!

Integrate Internet Marketing and Relationship Marketing and you will be unusually successful in your MLM. Ignoring “Old School” methods and only embracing the “New School” is simply foolish.

I was amused to learn the words “Web 2.0″ and then later, “Attraction Marketing” . As a home based business owner who built my business using the Internet and the phone, I had been using those methods to build my business long before there were labels attached.  In fact, the coining of them was such a non-event for me that I missed an opportunity to corner those SEO terms – bummer!  The term “Attraction Marketing” is absolutely huge now and the experts abound!

Network Marketers across the world are embracing the “New School” way of building an MLM business by tapping into the millions of prospects who are online looking for ways to become financially free.  They are learning how to set up their blogs, build capture pages and how to market those sites using social media like twitter and facebook, search engine optimization and video marketing. It’s a frenzy of learning and application.  The content going up is staggering!

We’ve really done a good job of training up the competition

Now, I don’t really believe that there is scarcity of prospects – but there is scarcity of attention spans. And if all the “New School” Network Marketers are out there teaching “Attraction Marketing“, and posing as experts… where does that leave YOU?  If you are trying to claim your spot on the net, how will you stand out? How will you generate a lead in an environment where everyone is standing up and yelling ‘pick me, pick me’ ?

I don’t know man, I just don’t know…
maybe we’ll have to go back to the “Old School” methods of prospecting…

What are the ‘Old School’ methods, really? Does it mean making a list of your friends and family and expecting them all to be your business partners? That each and every one of them is just waiting to be an entrepreneur?  Or how about standing at the mall and accosting strangers about making extra money, doing just what you are doing?  No way, you say – that’s how you end up in the NFL. “No friends left” after you have unprofessionally approached them all with something that they weren’t asking for.

Is that really what is meant by “Old School” networking? Of course it isn’t, but its what you will hear from those who will tell you that the ‘Old School’ methods of building a MLM business are dead. They will make the offline methods sound stupid and downright degrading.  They will make it sound like you’d be a fool to follow the advice of the MLM millionaires who all built their business offline because ‘things are different now’.

Come on, do you really think things are THAT different? People are still people, and this is still a word of mouth business.

So what does “Old School” really mean, and why should you have respect for the ‘Old School” masters, instead of disdain for the term?
Its Relationship Marketing at its best.  It is listening for the needs of people and giving them an option to fill those needs. It’s connecting with people in your community who are looking for what you have to offer.

It was never, and never will be about chasing your friends and family, people!

Right now, there are people all over the world making huge money in MLM building OFFLINE, using “Old School” methods.
Right now, people are collecting six figure checks.

Are you?

If not, perhaps its time you took a look at expanding your skill set to include offline methods of building your business.
If you are really an entrepreneur with a product or service that the market is asking for – then you should have no trouble connecting with people who have a need for what you offer.

I’m an Internet Network Marketer and have been building my business online for 8 years. I generate my own leads and call my prospects after they have been exposed to the business through an online presentation. I have mad phone skills and people close themselves on my opportunity all the time.

However, I take every opportunity to look people in the eye and hand them my business card. Their attention to my website is far more valuable than the thousands of clicks I will get to this blog post. They are far more likely to take action to either become a customer, or even a distributor. Why? Because I looked them in the eye and professionally introduced what I do. I heard their need and I addressed it. They can see that I am genuine, am not at all a slimy salesperson, and if they have a desire to move forward, its on them.

My friends and family know what I do – and they are my CUSTOMERS. They aren’t entrepreneurs, and I wouldn’t prospect them for the business opportunity. But they do BUY MY STUFF!

If you are a closet entrepreneur, you are missing a huge profit zone. Get over it already and be the professional you strive to be. Introduce your product or service and let everyone know what you do.  Would a paycheck for doing so really be so bad?

There is so much more to this- pages and pages worth. But you really must know that all of the internet marketing prowess in the world is not going to make you residual millions in MLM. You simply must learn the skills of Relationship Marketing.  Your upline leader making 6 or 7 figures can tell you how to build a huge business. Listen!

By all means, learn and understand Attraction Marketing and apply those methods of lead generation. But what the heck are you going to say to those wonderful people who have asked you for more information?
Learning Wordpress won’t help you with the one thing that will earn you a check – closing the prospect!

I guarantee that if you work on your offline prospecting and phone prospecting that you’ll make more money. Unless you are incredibly poorly suited for this profession, you can’t go wrong when you increase your skill set in those areas.

You can get generic Relationship Marketing training from Dani Johnson or Todd Falcone. These 2 are the real deal. I plug into the expert training from both of these MLM coaches all the time. Both of them clearly know that you must hone your prospecting and closing skill set, no matter how you generate a lead. They can both teach you how to generate endless leads offline, expose them to the opportunity, follow-up, close, duplicate, and ultimately lead a team.  And if you are generating leads online – its the same skill set! These MLM coaches know how to combine the Old School with the New School Attraction Marketing methods – and guess what? They are unusually successful!
