subject: The One Trait That All Mlm Guru's Share [print this page] I have been in the MLM/network marketing industry for a while, and one of the most important things I have figured out is that there is one common trait that all successful people or the "MLM Gurus" in this industry share. I believe that it is this one trait that separates the "have's" from the "have not's". This one trait is so vitally important that you must possess it to have any chance of becoming a MLM Guru yourself.
What is the trait? Well instead of just giving you the answer let's chronicle the professional life's of three of the most successful MLM Gurus in this industry. See if you can pick out the trait that led them to greatness, before I tell you what it is.
Three MLM Guru's One Trait
Mike Dillard: When Mike started out he had ZERO success. No matter what he did, he was unable to recruit a significant amount of people into his business. It was a long time before he was finally successful in his MLM business. Then once he thought he had met up with the right people, positioned himself in a growing organization, and was finally ready to succeed....... 9/11 happened. He was back to ground zero; no one on his team was interested in moving forward.
What did Mike do? To be certain, he wasn't going to give up. He continued to increase his value to others by constantly learning and working his business. He didn't let 9/11 or anything else stop him. He kept going until he perfected the skills necessary to recruit an army of motivated distributors. By not giving up he was able to build the second biggest organization in his MLM company. He has since gone on to become one of the best trainers in the MLM industry. Moving on.....
Mark Wieser: Mark had the same struggles when he started that Mike Dillard did. He fell flat on his face when he started. He was so scared of talking to prospects over the phone that he avoided it like the plague.
What did Mark Do? He kept pushing through his fears of calling people and after hundred's of rejections he noticed something......he was getting better. He started to recruit 20-30 people a month, by doing nothing more than cold calling leads (for those of you out there who have ever "cold called" a lead, you know how impressive this is). His persistence, attention to detail, and constant improvement of skills has made him very wealthy. He is now considered by many to be the best phone prospector in this industry. How about Jimmy Davis, how did he succeed........
Jimmy Davis: Jimmy started at a VERY young age (14) in this industry. When Jimmy joined his first MLM, he had to have his parents sign a waiver form to get him in. As you might expect, he struggled for the next 6 years trying every scheme, scam, and opportunity out there. All his friends and family had all but lost faith in him. But he kept with it (noticing a trend here?).
Jimmy was fed up with failing. Jimmy picked up the phone and started calling all the "Gurus" that were already having success in MLM. He was looking for "the secret" that they knew that he didn't. After many calls to many "MLM Guru's" he finally figured it out. They didn't have any secret; there was no secret traffic source, magic saying, or anything! The only thing the MLM Guru's were doing that he wasn't was positioning themselves as experts. After learning the so called "secret" he quickly applied that knowledge and the rest as they say is history. He now owns his own multi-million dollar company called My Story Marketing, and is one of the industry's top trainers.
So What's The Trait?
So, have you figured it out yet? Do you know what trait these three MLM guru's share.......they refused to give up, they never quit. Yes they all are massively talented, but they never would have realized that talent if they had quit. It was their unwillingness to quit or give up that made them successful.
I know what you must be thinking; I read all of that to have Chris tell me to just keep going........well, yes you did. However, that is the best advice I could give anyone who is currently struggling in MLM and wants desperately to succeed. You have to "draw a line in the sand" and decide that no matter how long it takes you will figure this out!
