Clues About MLM Success Are Well Hidden In Plain Sight
Clues About MLM Success Are Well Hidden In Plain Sight
by David Ledoux
Hungry?
Come on in. My wife is making homemade chili. Have a bowl and a crusty roll and enjoy. Let's talk a bit about how the really, really big dogs built their massive fortunes in MLM.
I was lucky enough to have a late night coffee with a former Crown Ambassador in Amway about 10 years ago. He was the #9 earner in the entire company a long time ago. It was a facinating exchange. I'd ask a question, and he'd talk. I'd sip coffee and burn the concepts into my brain. For nearly 3 hours. Until 2 in the morning.
I got a gold nugget from him that changed my entire paradigm of the industry in 1994. Until 2002. Then I forgot it. Then I remembered it again just the other day. So I remembered it for 8 years and forgot it for 3.
What was the secret?
The 20th person.
Huh?
You enjoying the chili? Good. Let me explain.
The true magic of MLM appears when a leg duplicates down 20 generations. Note those aren't stacked generations or caused by spillover. It is when a guy sponsors a gal who sponsors a guy who sponsors a couple etc. etc 20 times. Something magical occurs.
I quickly discovered that if I was constantly working with the deepest point of a line, everyone between me and the deepest point would get excited. I would scan my printout weekly, and phone the newest, deepest person. I'd visit with them and try to determine if they were ambitious. I'd then focus a few hours a week on helping them do presentations, 2on1's, 3 way calls, etc. depending on where they lived.
This created more depth and more excitement. And more volume. And bigger bonus checks.
I did this for about 3 years really, really well. The 3 legs I build from 1994 to 1997 still are growing today. Then I kind of forgot, sponsored without driving depth, and the 5 legs I built from 1998 to 2000 are kind of spindly and sick. And then from 2000 to 2004 the 250 legs I built are scrawny except for 1 that I went deep in.
In 10 years I got it right 4 times in total. I can introduce you to the 20th person in those lines and they are all healthy and growing. The lines where I sponsored, but never worked down to the 20th are all struggling or dead entirely.
Clear as mud?
I find it easier to draw out on a big poster board in the office. Use a pencil and track a line as it grows. Your job is to always be looking to build a relationship with the deepest point each week. Help them get one level deeper. And let everyone in between know so they get excited.
It sounds so simple. Maybe that's why it's a secret. The best secrets always hide in plain sight.
I see you're done your chili. Drop by anytime. Next week is homemade pizza!
I appreciate you.

Who Else Wants Wallet-Stretching Bonus Checks From Their MLM Business?
Who Else Wants Wallet-Stretching Bonus Checks From Their MLM Business While You Sit On A Beach With Sand In Your Toes and A Coconut Drink In Your Hand?
Dear Intrepid Adventurer,
Stop right now and pat yourself on the back. Do it! If you don't cheer for you, no one else will. I salute your bravery to participate in an industry that has driven great men and women to the brink of insanity!
Network Marketing has humbled bank presidents, politicians, and rich fat cats with gigantic resumes. I have seen Harvard-educated MBA's reduced to tears because they just couldn't build a downline. And yet simple housewives,students, blue collar laborers and beertruck drivers have build vast fortunes for their families and their closest friends thanks to the financial rocketship called multi-level.
It has been illegal to hit your downline since the mid-fifties, if not earlier. Not that every single leader wanted to at one point or other in their careers. Nope, you can't do it my friend. You are a leader of a volunteer army.
How challenging is it? It has been described many ways over the years. Like trying to move water up a glass mountains with a broom. Like trying to push a rope. Like trying to put Preparation H back in the tube.
If you feel down, I want you to come back to this book. Search its pages for inspiration. Uncover that one hidden gold nugget that has eluded you. Have a good cry from time to time. But don't you quit.
The number one income earner in your company hasn't even heard about MLM yet. Someone is going to sponsor him or her. Why not you?
I appreciate you. Keep leading wisely!

p.s. Don't expect it to be easy. No one is going to hand you a bonus check every week just for your good looks. You are a GENERAL. Go raise an army, teach it to fight for freedom and turn it loose on the world. Vast riches will be drawn to you like a magnet when you inculcate your true purpose!

Strong Copywriting Create Hypnotic Effects
I like to collect really strong examples of copywriting.
Here is an example from an author of powerful self-improvment books and courses. Note the unique layout....it's a key ingredient to its near-hynotic power. A great example to study!
=========
Achiever,
If you strive setting NEW goals,
if... you constantly excavate
inside your own mind to extract
powerful characteristics...
if ever you wished someone,
sometime, showed you
how to *unlock* the
hidden cells inside
your subconscious
almighty
world...
"Then Be Prepared for the
ULTIMATE MIND-CONTROL
CHALLENGE."
Just last year, a friend
...a close friend referred
to me a "Magical Methodology"...
that deploys the power of the
UNIVERSE, to turn almost any
WISH into REALITY.
As unrealistic it may sound,
you might possess secretive powers...
that once you exploit them,
every goal you SET shall be
MATERIALIZED.
What propels my motivation
to sharing this coveted
methodology with you,
distant friend, is
that...
I must return the favor,
in terms of RECIPROCITY,
for the paramount KISMET
that recently surmounts
my own LIFE. All thanks
to this UNIVERSAL SYSTEM,
I have transformed my own
self, to a POWERFUL ENTITY.
I have gained virtues,
which I never experienced,
before in my entire life.
Now I transformed my two
greatest WISHES into
ACTUALITY.
At this point, the sanction
is already put into ACTION.
I unconditionally returned the favor
to a
GURU, who showed me the
paths of:
"Eventual Renaissance".
Out of sheer willingness
to GRATIFY the UNIVERSAL
powers, I pass this
insidious information
to *you*.
Should you be concerned,
about what humans never
taught you, about your
entity, search for the
Pandora's Keys inside your depthless
subconscious world!
