Aaron Audet: solid system = success

Well said Robert! I agree 100%
Too many people join a NM company with little/no research and end up failing miserably since they have little/no idea what they are doing or how to do it other than being told to make a list of all their friends and go buy names if they are "really" serious and then told to ...go for it! Another thing to add to Roberts list is quality of compensation plan, there's been a real evolution in comp plans so be careful not to be tied to an older more difficult pay plan, another thing is to work with a successful upline that has a proven system [no, not the join/make-a-list/dial-for-dollars system] and be coachable. I see a lot of people trying to re-invent the wheel or worse taking a great system and trying to "fix it". Ever seen someone taking company promotional material and copying it themselves to "save money"?
Robert was bang-on about needing quality products that are consumable and even better if there's a wide range and growing of products [preferably re-direction of spending products]. Best is products that give you a visable measurable result that creates an emotional response.
One other thing, be a Leader that attracts people, I've sat down with people that say they want to make $100,000.00 their first year, then I ask them what tools they have for their downline their shelves are empty...having one cd or a book is great for them to listen to but how can they educate the people they are looking to go into partnership with let alone be there for their downline when they need tools to educate THEIR people when they decide to build a business.
Bottom line is don't give up on the industry and maybe not even on your present company. If you selected it with careful scrutiny then go further upline to work with a leader that has a successful system that an average person like you and I can duplicate. Don't stack the deck against yourself, do your homework!
Hope that helps, have a warm and memorable Christmas and a thriving 2005!

Education and Teamwork works!

Big mistake........If you are looking for a business, in my opinion, you need to make a business decision. First find an industry and Co. that you can rely on, the products must be consumable and exclusive in the marketplace......most important you need to team up with a group that not only has a plan in place for you, but the PROVEN ability to succeed.
>We have helped many people get out of their "comfort zone" and create long term residual income. We do show our business reports and our income statistics so that you can make that business decision, not an emotional one.
>My goal for 2005 is to keep doing what I have been doing for the last 6 years.......team up with good people and coach them through a proven system, without hype, and celebrate their success. We have used the proven system for 6 years now and every year our business grows and rewars us with a stong 6 figure income and a life style that most simply dream about.
>If you want the facts contact me and decide for yourself after you have all the data.
>As for leads......I find that most leads a simply names, much like a phone book......I have tried a few different ones and they all seem to produce about the same results.

>>I do not know precisely what my goals for 2005 are. I am in the process of closing down a network marketing business that I spent a year promoting without success. I guess one of my goals for 2005 is to find a way to make money online and pursue it.

>>My wife and I have a Japanese translation business that keeps us pretty busy, but since I don't know Japanese very well, I cannot contribute as much as I would like to that business. I need something that will dove-tail nicely with that in terms of time and my interests/abilities. I like to write, but I do not like to get on the phone and call strangers. I spent half a year doing that and hated every minute of it.
>>
>>My approach has been to build relationships online via email or the various Instant Message programs, then move to the phone once an interest level and relationship were established.
>>
>>My website here on Ryze and the web links there will tell you more about my experience and what I am doing now. Many have written about their and others successes in Network Marketing, yet we all know that the failure rate is something like 98%. Easy to get in, hard to make a go of it. Why? Too easy to get in. If you applied for a sales and marketing job, your potential employer would look at your skills and education and training. They would interview you and ask questions that would tell them about your personality and suitability for the job. They'd look at your resume and your experience. Typically that does not happen in network marketing. Most network marketers will be only too glad to sign you up in their business. Many then practice the sink or swim approach. They believe the cream will rise to the top, so they typically don't spend a lot of time with you unless you begin to show promise right away. The concientious ones will do what they can to help you. They will try to teach you what they know. But, few of them are professional trainers. They are just people who have learned from trial and error and their upline. They may or may not be able to teach you how to do it. Chances are, too, that they have the verbal and persuasion skills necessary to be successful. You may or may not have them. Some can learn them, some can't. I've read over and over in the network marketing success stories that ANYONE can become a success. That is true, just like ANYONE can win the lottery or hit it big in Las Vegas. But, how many do?
>>
>>Another reason people are not successful in network marketing is the catch 22 element: people are attracted by success. To be successful, you need to have people join you. For people to be willing to join you, you have to be successful. That is not an easy nut to crack if you are determined to be honest, as I am, and not deceive people. To help people get over this hurdle, our company had a policy that we could not tell others what we were making or how big our downline was. That in iteself is not deceptive, but I always had trouble when someone asked me if I was making any money at this. I'd quote company policy and explain why I couldn't discuss income with them. I could, of course, tell them what they could expect to make under certain conditions... if you sign 3 people, you will make $xx.xx ...
>>
>>So, I guess another of my goals for 2005 is to find a way to use what I've learned to help people who want to be successful online avoid some of the pitfalls. I'm not bitter about my experience. I knew going in what the odds were and what was required. I wanted to see if I could beat the odds, overcome my shyness, and make the grade. I'm grateful for the lessons learned. I probably wouldn't have learned as much from a years-worth of college courses in NWM, even if they were available.
>>
>>Oh, by the way, I am still not completely out of NWM. I am still a member of Leaders Club. I joined them a month ago to get leads for my primary business. The leads they supply seem to be good responsive leads, for the most part, and I like the multiple formats they provide. They are easy to import into my group mail system and send an introductory email too. I'm using them now to invite people to take a look at my web page.
