Positive About Network Marketing

I feel like I have beat to death the fact that Network Marketing is entering the mainstream, yet I still see people struggle with the perception of our industry. So obviously, I haven't finished my job (yet).

I recently had someone tell me that they are having trouble exposing their Network Marketing business to Real Estate professionals. Now that's funny. In case you haven't heard, Network Marketing grew by over 1 million new people in the U.S. in 2006.

How is Real Estate doing about now?

The exchange has lit a bit of a fire under my butt to expand on an article that I wrote for the book, "It's Time...for Network Marketing. The most remarkable form of free enterprise".  The article is titled "MLM Goes Mainstream" and discusses what your brother in law doesn't know about the industry that you have your hands on.

More on "MLM Goes Mainstream" soon...

Today, I want to direct you to a new book titled, "How to Open & Operate a Financially Successful Retail Business: With Companion CD-ROM" by Janet Engle. I'm sure you are asking yourself, "why this book?", and the answer is simple.  The author included information about Network Marketing within her "History of Retailing" section.  Within the information about Network Marketing is a section that features me. (It's on page 16, providing great visibility for our industry).

Here is a quick quote:

According to Ty, nothing can take the place of passion and enthusiasm for the product.

"Want to be successful in Network Marketing? Find a product that you really love and tell other people about it."

Now ask yourself this: Why would a book about "How To Open & Operate a Financially Successful Retail Business" include a section (within the first 16 pages!) about a pyramid deal or scam?

The answer?  Network Marketing is not a pyramid deal or scam.  It's a legitimate industry that is gaining more acceptance each and every day.

Last Chance For MLM Traffic Formula

OK, not exactly last chance, but rather last chance to save $600...

About six months ago, I got my hands on Mike Dillard's MLM Traffic Formula ($497 at the time) and to this day, it has had the most impact (of any training materials) on my business in my 15 years of Network Marketing.

 

Well, I just got word that this program was only being offered for $497 for a limited time and it will soon (January 1st!!!) go up to $997. The program is easily worth $997 and I don't blame Mike for raising the price.  In fact, I made tens of thousands of dollars over the last six months using the techniques taught in the MLM Traffic Formula.

 

But I have great news for you...

 

Mike Dillard is offering a last chance price for the MLM Traffic Formula of $397.

 

I'm not trying to make some big pitch here, I just don't want you to miss out on this special price and then get mad at me for not letting you know about the chance to save $600.

 

(Remember, this program changed my life and I refer to it multiple times a week).

Orrin Woodward Talks About The MLM Blog and Ty Tribble

A few days ago, I wrote an article about Orrin Woodward and The TEAM and how I believe building methods that the TEAM uses would perform with a different compensation plan outside of Quixtar.

Would you believe that Orrin Woodward actually commented on my post? (Yes, I confirmed that it was actually him.) If you follow my blog closely, you might remember that Orrin's lawyer and I have had a handful of "exchanges" in the past.  I have been critical of Orrin and the TEAM in the past, but if you really look at what I have been saying all along, you will see that I am really more critical of Quixtar because of the price of their products and the poor compensation plan. 

The majority of my criticism directed at Orrin Woodward and the TEAM was because people were losing money in Quixtar and to be honest the $80-ish a month on training is not the biggest factor in that loss.

There is little doubt that the TEAM training system could use a price cut (in my opinion), but the numbers from the TEAM camp are nothing short of amazing considering the Quixtar  reputation, product pricing and compensation plan.

If done right, the TEAM concept applied to  right company will have a lot of people making thousands of dollars in Network Marketing and that is a good thing for the industry.

So, in case you missed Orrin's comments, here they are:

Ty, I have enjoyed your articles and believe you are one of the most experienced people in the MLM field. You have studied the companies and have benchmarked the best in different areas. When I look for news in the MLM area I come to your site. thanks, Orrin (Woodward)

I have been looking at SiteBuildIt, a product from SiteSell as an all in one web site building, hosting and marketing solution that seems to (just now) be catching on with the Network Marketing crowd.  I found SiteBuildIt through my Renegade Network Marketing back office affiliates and thought I would let you in on my research...

Orrin Woodward's TEAM Analysis II

In my last post, I talked about how Orrin Woodward's TEAM would might see great success in a Network Marketing Binary Compensation plan.

However, I should also point out that the TEAM concept (again slightly modified) would work well (perhaps better in the long run) with a Unilevel compensation plan as long as there are some additional depth bonuses. (Univera has this type of plan.)

The Unilevel plan is considered (by many) to be the most fair plan for the average person.

In the case of Univera's compensation, the added depth bonuses (called generational bonus) allows an associate to be paid (2 to 14%) as far down as six diamond level organizations in depth.

Imagine someone from the TEAM who used to spend $300/month to make 100PV, now spending $125/month to make 100PV, with every person (on their team) netting out a larger check bonus check. That is the potential of a new plan for the TEAM.

You can also meet me, (Ty Tribble) as well, but I'd probably go for Rohn, Victor Hansen, Clark, Falcone and the gang.

All you need to do is be in that first 10 that register and you can pick up your book at Todd's table at the event.

Orrin Woodward's Team Would Tear Up A Binary Plan

I was in Phoenix over the weekend at a Network Marketing event with Todd Falcone, Jeffery Combs, Erica Combs and Michael Bernoff, where I met the owner of a Network Marketing company by the name of Michael Wenniger.  Wenniger owns Fun Unlimited which is actually being re-branded as I write this.  He has a much better name coming out soon. (I'll get you the new name once I have permission). 

Anyways, I spent a few hours hanging out with Mike and talking about his company, a binary compensation plan with health and wellness products.  The biggest claim to fame for the company is their Power Pops which are candy that help people lose weight.  Chris Angel and Britney Spears have reportedly both used the candy.

The company also has a vitamin lollipop designed for children.  Pretty unique products that seem to be priced well,  (50 cents to one dollar for the weight loss and vitamin lollipops). They also have a skincare line and a new functional beverage coming out soon and they do not have an autoship requirement in order to get your check.

Now, I mentioned earlier that this company has a binary compensation plan and for those that are not clear on comp plans, a binary has two legs or teams.  Typically (not in every case) one of the legs or teams is called the "Power Leg" and is usually built by the leaders within the company, leaving others to focus on the lesser leg.

This type of compensation plan got me to thinking about Orrin Woodward's former Quixtar group called "The TEAM".  Let me say this...I don't agree with the amount of money that the TEAM charges it's members for training, but I can not argue with their ability to bring in numbers, especially into a deal as bad as Quixtar.

What I am driving at here is that if the TEAM were to apply their strategy (slightly modified) to a company like the one Mike Wenniger owns, they would tear it up.  The binary compensation plan is focused on depth.  Mike's plan also has some matching bonus money that could bring in huge checks. 

I'm not trying to broker a deal here, just pointing out that the main problem with the TEAM is probably not the amount of money that they make on training, it was probably the company they chose to affiliate with.  If the TEAM were to build a binary with the numbers they bring in, a lot of people would be making money through products moving into the hands of consumers.
