| You may be aware that there is an alarming downline
attrition rate in the MLM or Network Marketing industry.
It means that over 90% of people who join a business
opportunity end up leaving it within the first 3 months
of joining.
This is the second major hurdle business owners face
before they can any see long-term wealth. And there is a
bulletproof strategy to overcome this. You can do it by
branding yourself.
Mike Dillard talks about developing “You, inc” in his
Magnetic Sponsoring program. He goes deep into the
psychology of selling yourself instead of your business
opp, because YOU are your real business
When you use this approach, your home business
opportunity becomes just a piece of your business model,
and it should be advertised on the back end.
When you do that, it won’t really matter what company
you are with. You ultimately brand yourself. Your
greatest asset becomes your knowledge, skill,
experience, and above all, the relationship you have
with people.
It also means having a list of people you communicate
with and give value to regularly, so they come to trust
and respect you as a leader in the industry. These are
the people looking for your knowledge, and will
ultimately join you!
So even if you’re company tanks one day and decides
to close it’s doors, your true equity will always be
there, which is yourself and the relationship you’ve
built with your list.
Help the people in your list achieve their goals, and
you will have their loyalty forever. They’ll eventually
follow you to any business you join. Once you start
helping people by giving them valuable information on
how to be successful, they’ll become attracted to you
and whatever you have to offer, including your business
opportunity.
A highly effective tool to use is a bio page, or a
“Who is” page. This is simply a website with your name
on it and talks about your background. It establishes a
connection with your visitors.
You can basically share your story with people, with
some helpful guidance to show them what you can do for
their success in business. You can also place links to
your other websites that present your business
opportunity.
It’s a great way to build trust and rapport with your
prospects. Make sure you have a photo and other pictures
on it to show them that you are a REAL person! You can
take a look at my “Who is” page as an example:

Now you’ll notice that I’m not using it to promote
any business opp at the moment (I even say it on that
page), but you can create one just like it to build
trust with your prospects, just like I use it to build
trust with my prospective clients! |
