Arbonne in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, It’s Official
When a company (Any Company) front end loads people to join the opportunity and they have to retail their products at a higher cost to make a profit, this is the behavior of recruiting only. So when evaluating different opportunities, make sure that your product is affordable to the people today.
It is a good thing that Arbonne distributors, those who are still earning a check will continue to get paid through the bankruptcy according to Rueters
Those distributors that are looking for a home, feel free to contact me and Our team will be here to help.
“With the Ebook And Michael And 10+ Hours of Training a Week, How Could We Not Have Success?”
Paul & Anne Sorgi”s
MLM Success Story
Persistence, it’s the one word that can describe my Success Story. Thinking back to when I started looking to create an additional income takes me back to my teenage years. I always dreamed of building an empire that would pay my children’s children. What was missing for almost 20 years was a plan. The statement: “Failing to plan is planning to fail” describes that time period in my life.
Overcoming Obstacles
In 2003 I decided to see what all the fuss was about making millions on the internet. I watched a few informercials and got a few websites out of the opportunity section of some magazines and I was off on my journey to discover the end of the internet!
Everything I looked at made my stomach crawl. Nothing seemed legit or legal. I finally came across a free program and I spent 6 months being frustrated. In those 6 months I had no contact, other than emails, with any of my upline. I finally headed back out on to the internet to find a new opportunity. I spent almost 2 years with my next adventure. I had an awesome direct upline that had joined 1 month before me and we clicked right away. There would still be many hurdles for us to jump over.
I was constantly scratching my head trying to figure out why the upline was so diligent in making it so difficult for us. They constantly held back information, they played the favorites game, they played people off of each other and they manipulated downlines. My team was growing and the money was trickling in, but I was really struggling.
Then through advertising, I came across a sweet lady who asked if I had ever read “Success in 10 Steps”? I had seen the ads for it all over the internet but I kept passing it over. I finally decided to download the book based on this sweet lady’s recommendation.
A month passed and I finally decided to read the ebook. After being beaten up and kicked around, I was skeptical. But I could not put the book down. I immediately felt the relief. My LACK of Success was NOT my Fault. WOW!
I called the lady who had recommended the ebook. I jumped on the weekly training calls and when I heard how easy it was to talk to people about the ebook, I knew I had found the system and training that could grow my business.
With the ebook and Michael and 10+ hours of training a week, how could we not have Success? It gave us a proven duplicatable system to build our business. We have sponsored a few who have sponsored a few, and so on, and so on. I have the support of Michael Dlouhy and the dynamic team at Mentoring For Free who share information and offer guidance. Anne and I thank them from the bottom of our hearts!
Anne and I are solid users of the MFF system and have been using it for 3 years. It is as simple as 1,2,3. Without MFF and its duplication we never would have reached Diamond in our Company or been able to help others reach Diamond as well.
Social Media has really become a way to build relationships online. Whether is is Facebook, Myspace, or any Other Media site to get to know people. There is a Science to learning how to effectively use these sites to maximize your return on the time you invested in them.
One thing I have learned is that whatever you are building, whether it is a product driven company or a service company you want to make sure you have a main page to bring people or clients back too. I like to call it my central hub. The Main page. In this process everyone will come back to your main page and get to read more about YOU and what you can do to help someone. Make sure you also have a contact page with your details on it so people can call you.
When wanting to build your business through social media networking sites, it is about getting to know people. Don’t just go an add people to your friends list without reading their profiles. It is important to know who you are building a relationship with. They will also appreciate that you took the time to get to know them.
Also when you are bringing people back to your central hub, you will want to have resources on your page that will keep your readers coming back. Stay consistant with posting to your hub and delivering good content to your readers. Be helpful and you will find that people will begin to contact you by phone and or email for help. It is truly about providing help to people.
To learn more about how to effectively use Social networking sites and to build the relationships necessary to build a business then contact me and let me know How I can help you.
Recruit, boy do I dislike that word.
I prefer to use Sponsor, so let’s begin with the difference.
When someone speaks of recruiting, I have seen what this word means.
It means to put someone in a business downline and leaving them to fend for themselves. Leaving them helpless.
Sponsoring on the other hand is what I do. I sponsor a person in my organization and I teach them HOW to build a business. From the ground up. It is about being there throughout their journey to the top.
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make, is thinking that
sponsoring is a one-shot, all-or-nothing event. Actually, it’s a
process. A Teaching and Mentoring Process. It is ONGOING and this is a good thing. This mean you have built a good friendship with someone you will be in business with forever.
Your goal shouldn’t be to sell or “close” anyone, but rather to
give the prospect enough information, so they can make the best
decision for them. Only sponsor people whom you would like to spend a one month cruise with.
Unlike sales, where often you are taught to close people,
in Network Marketing we are looking for people motivated
enough to take action themselves. People with a desire for more
out of life.
It’s not about convincing people or changing their beliefs, as much
as it is about finding the people who are open to what you have.
It is a sorting process, where the prospect indicates their level
of interest. We are only looking for the volunteers who are coachable.
If someone gives many excuses as to why they haven’t read the material then these are NOT good prospects. Move on.
What we offer is freedom. Never lose the vision of that. It is helping
others to achieve their dreams and goals.
Of course, the first question that comes up is when speaking with a prospect is where do you find these people? This is where the Mentoring and Teaching comes into play. Most people know about social societies and networks to build relationships with. So to learn more, and to work with a Mentor and Coach, download my free ebook and let’s begin the process. I can show you where to find these people.
Nobody can build a business alone. You have to have a team and people showing you HOW to Sponsor People into your business. Don’t let someone just recruit you, you are worth more than that.

As you may or may not be aware of, there are places on the internet called Social Networking Sites or Social Media sites. Just like coffee houses where people would get together and get caught up on what has been happening in the world today, or staying in contact with business associates, these sites are really for one purpose. To Socialize – to build relationships and truly get to know someone. Not to pitch them on a product or business opportunity.
My first look into social networking was in a meetup group. You can find one local to you by visiting meetup.com online. Great place to find people locally to get to know too. Anyhow, I joined one of these groups for networking and attended for about 4 months. Made some really nice friends there and shared biz cards, and such. What I observed during this time was that the organizer had one thing on their mind….. To Sell their product and the meeting became all about them. WRONG thing to do…
Social networking Sites and local meetings are to learn about people, what their needs are and help provide that to them. I am in Facebook and the many other sites to see what I can do to help someone else’s life become better. Isn’t this what Networking is all about? I believe so.
If you have struggled in these Social sites, then how about doing this… Start building relationships with your friends or followers, they accepted your friendship to get to know you, not for you to pitch them on a deal or product. So instead of sending your business link, send them to your blog so they can get to know YOU. Do that and you will see a difference in the amount of people you have to talk to who ask YOU what you do. So the Role of Social Networking sites is to build relationship and a network of like minded people who know that it is all about Referring others to someones product or service. Bringing Value to one’s life. Practice this, you will be amazed at the results.
Here is the formula for Crafting Your Story. This is Your Story you will share with others who ask. Here are the steps to begin writing.
1. Write Who you Are.
2. What’s Your Background.
3. What are the current limitations of your current life…..that your biz opportunity can solve for you.
Anyone on Your team can craft their story. This is something you have to begin with first and then script it so that you can practice it to where is flows naturally. Don’t write something that your not. Let this be from your heart and real. (People today are rather smart and can tell when it is fake or not.) Real people join Real people.
This allows people to join you and follow the Formula for Success and duplicates down your entire organization.
Develope your story through working through Leadership.
Write your story and practice it with your Leaders, share each others story and perfect it so it comes across naturally. Practice makes perfect. Work through helping your team to craft their story until they are good at it and then we can talk about crafting a 1 min presentation. Your Story should be around 30 seconds or so, so get crafting and I look forward to sharing more on presenting.
Okay so now your Steps-to-Success Assignment :
1. Craft It: Work with your line of sponsorship and craft your business story.
2. Script It: Write down your business story
3. Practice It: With your Upline, friends, family, etc
4. Share It: With your Prospects and your Downlines Prospects
5. Teach It: This is important. Assist your Team Members in crafting their stories and duplicating this downline, It is that important.
I have read alot of great copywriters info on writing a good article. However it never really seemed to be me…. Sounds familiar?
Well I have a very Good Friend that I met about 6 maybe even 7 years ago. His name was Dave Cones. He was able to teach me so many things to implement into my business. One of them was how to write effective Ad copy.
I used the information he shared on many tele-seminar calls he did through the Mentoring For Free System. Yes all for FREE. Those that learned from him went on to become Great Writers and they too are now sharing what they have learned. Gotta Love it. Passing it On!
Here is a tip for ya. When writing articles or ad copy, write from the heart and write what you know. You don’t have to be an expert to begin. Just begin.
The object is the ability to convey your message to prospects in such a way that they are motivated to take the next step. This is the key. Getting people to take the next step.
Regardless of your writing ability there is one thing that must be done over and over again, In Marketing it is COPY, COPY, COPY and then TEST, TEST, TEST, COPY, COPY, TEST, TEST.
Yes this does sound repetitious however by writing ads this way you will pull people to you who will want to buy from you. This is what sets you apart from the masses who are just throwing their info out there and hoping someone will bite. Perfect what you do and you will attract the write buyers or partners into your business.
I look forward to sharing more tips with you from what I have learned from Dave and hope to have a special call with Dave like we used to do.
