Network Marketing Tricks

Often when explaining Kleeneze, or Network Marketing in general, I’m asked, “So is that a get rich quick scheme?” The answer I normally give is no, since I believe that term to have many negative connotations, and would lead people to believe that you can make money in this business without putting in considerable effort for a sustained period of time.

Yesterday however, I heard some figures which made me realise that yes, this really is a “Get rich quick” business when compared with the alternatives. Here are some simple facts about rich people (in general):

1. They are hard working, productive people.
2. They work an average of 59 - 80 hours per week.
3. They take 20 years to reach financial independence.

Yet many people join Kleeneze and quit after 3 weeks because they haven’t made it big!  In Kleeneze, financial independence normally takes around 3 - 5 years.  The quickest anyone got to Senior Executive before was 18 months!  Even if you build the business REALLY slowly, and take 15 years to reach that level, to earn a passive income of £3,500 per month even when they take the month off, that’s not bad now is it?

They key to this business is to learn all you can, follow your upline’s proven system, be professional and committed, and give it time.  Anyone who does these simple things can’t fail but to succeed.  If only everyone realised that they could do it, that if they had the patience this business could deliver everything they hoped for, what a thing that would be.  Unfortunately not everyone will.  Our job is to lend them our vision, help them to see the path to their future success, and in so doing, ensure the success of ourselves and our teams.

It’s a common headline that everyone in the UK has become very used to; but the fact is that average prices are still on the up.  A report from the Halifax stated that in 236 postcode areas, mainly in London and south-east England, the average house price now tops £300,000.

While house prices have risen an average of 7% per year since 1973 (when Nationwide started tracking prices) the average wage has not.  More people than ever are now struggling to get onto the housing ladder, and Kleeneze has their answer.

The Halifax reports that, “if current trends continue, 4.3 million homes will be worth more than the IHT threshold [£300,000] by 2020.”

People are worried.  People are struggling to find the money to buy a house… we have a solution to their problem.  Our job is to educate people, to let people know that a home based business, run in their spare time, can solve their financial conundrum.  Get your adverts out there, get talking to people and see your Kleeneze business grow.

Kleeneze have kindly put the new presentation video online and allowed distributors to link to it from their websites. This gives us such a great opportunity to get prospects interested and onboard fast. You can grab the video link from the distributor support arena on the Kleeneze site, and link it in from your own website very easily. Why not add it to your email signatures too - the more people who see it, the more will join your team. We added the video to this site at www.earn-ez.com/video.html

Kleeneze have launched the latest opportunity DVD which now includes details of the amazing car incentives (Jaguars, Aston Martins and Bentleys!) and the Thailand 2008 conference to Phuket.  The DVDs are packed with testimonials and information about the business and are a great sponsoring tool.  Here are some great tips from Andy Stephenson on making the most from them:

1. Family, friends and work colleagues – lend them the DVD and ask for their opinion.
2. Customers – leave with a note when picking up an order, and collect when making a delivery.
3. Information packs – we send only if we have already spoken with prospect over phone.
4. Three Feet Rule – when the opportunity arises and you bump into people in garages, shops, or at the checkout, lend them the DVD and ask for their opinion.
5. Door step presentation – just knock on door and say:  “Can you help me? I am expanding my Kleeneze business in this area and I am looking for anyone who might be interested in earning an extra £300 - £1000+ per month in their spare time. I have a short DVD which will explain everything – can I leave it with you for 48 hours?� If they agree, get their details so that you can call to follow up.
6. Keep DVDs in your car, handbag, coat etc – never get caught out by not having a DVD with you.
7. Third party approach - Ask for referrals – show people the DVD and ask if they can think of anyone who would benefit from the Opportunity. 
8. For a fast start, make sure new distributors have 20 copies to lend to immediate family etc. in their first week.
9. Whenever you lend the DVD, make sure you have contact details to follow up and give a 48 hour deadline for return – this creates a sense of urgency.
10. Quite simply the more people who see the DVD the more people will join. If you want to go to the next European and International conferences then it is all about getting the Opportunity in front of enough people. In my opinion you can never get enough DVDs out.

Here’s an interesting thought: Rich people have 24 hours in each day, and poor people have… 24 hours each day!  The reason that some people are successful and wealthy, while others struggle through, is not time, but what people do with their time.

Fact - You will never have enough time to do all the things that need doing!

You can’t manage time; you can only control how you fill it.  Your success, with your Kleeneze business, will be directly proportional to how well you fill those 24 hours each day.  If you can learn to be more productive, to reduce procrastination, to get the job done on time - you’ll see massive success.  This is one area where most people struggle but there are some very simple things we can do to help.

• Plan your time - Jim Rohn says that you should never start the day, until you have finished it on paper.  If you plan the tasks ahead of you, you can easily see what needs doing and what order would be most productive.
• Eat that frog! - Brian Tracy’s book of the same name suggests that we are most productive if we do our biggest task, the one we are most likely to procrastinate on first… If you’ve not read the book I won’t explain the title here as you’ll find it quite amusing to read but basically, get that big task out of the way early on and the rest of the day will be much easier to cope with.
• To do list -  Three simple steps to success: Each night write a list of tasks for the following day, when you wake up start at the top of the list, don’t go to bed until you reach the end!

If you can improve your time management, you’ll improve your efficiency, you’ll improve your productivity and you’ll change your life…

As a networker, you’ll already be familiar with classified adverts.  Found in the back of almost every local newspaper, classifieds are typically small lineage adverts.  Usually for a small free, a classified advert in a local or national paper can produce some good leads.  Online classifieds are just the same; small low cost or free adverts, but on a website rather than in a newspaper.  The big advantage here of course is that you are likely to be targeting a much wider readership.
The other big advantage that online classifieds have over traditional paper based adverts is speed of response.  Since your online classified advert can have a link to your website (or at least an email address) the prospect can end up receiving details about your opportunity, and potentially signing up within minutes rather than days.

Get the most from classified adverts

1. Keep track - If you’re placing adverts in newspapers you will probably only place one or two each week.  Online you could be placing ten or twenty each day, so keeping records will help.  Keep a list of what sites you’re using and the dates that the adverts end.  It’s then very simple to renew the adverts at the right time and make sure you’re constantly advertising.
2. Be creative - 99% of the Kleeneze and Network Marketing adverts I see are in the business opportunity section.  Guess what - you’re only attracting people who are actively looking for a business!  Why not try the car section, or the house section - “Would an extra £100 per week allow you to buy the car of your dreams?”
3. Experiment - Try different advert styles on lots of different sites.  Some will be free, some may charge, but all will generate leads at some level.  Once you find sites and styles of advert that work just keep doing more of the same.
4. Search for different sites - You wouldn’t tell everyone in your downline which street to flyer, or they would all be going to the same place.  You want to spread your adverts far and wide so find the sites which everyone else ignores.  Try searching for “classifieds” or “free adverts” on some of the less well known search engines and get your teams to do the same, you’ll be surprised just how many advertising opportunities there are out there.

To help you get started, here’s a lift of search engines to try:

Every Network Marketer’s favorite part of an email program is the forward button. How many times have you received an email from a friend with a joke, a funny picture, or maybe a news story and thought “Wow that’s great, I think Bob/Sue/Sam etc. would like that too…â€? and hit the forward button?

What I have just described is a viral email. No, not the nasty computer viruses that you hear about on the news, but an email that propagates in viral form. Any email which is funny, or interesting enough to be forwarded is a potential viral. Here’s the great part, when you send an email like this you have your signature advert on the bottom!

Now let’s say you send a joke email, with your signature advert, to just 5 friends. If they think it’s good enough do you think thay may forward it on to 5 of their friends… and they might forward it on to at least 5 of their friends? Hey, you’re a networker, i don’t need to explain the power of numbers to you.

Every time one of those recipients reads your joke, they see your advert too. From a single joke you send, you could be reaching hundreds or thousands of people.  It’s also a really great, non-threatening way of letting your warm market know about your Kleeneze business… So what are you waiting for?  Get emailing!
