How Can You Build A Huge MLM Downline In The Summer?
How Can You Build A Huge MLM Downline In The Summer by David Ledoux
Finally, you're here! I've been promising to cook for you for a while now. The tuna steaks are on the bbq, the potatoes are roasting and it is fantastic! Here, pop a cold one, sit back, and let's talk about building huge downlines in the summer.
You've heard all the excuses, so I won't even bring them up here. But let me tell you a story.
A few years ago I was in major recruiting mode over the summer. I wanted to win a company cruise. I grabbed my dayplanner, my lead lists, my cordless phone, and sat out by the pool at the cottage for 4 or 5 hours a day making calls. Just one after the other, bang, bang, bang.
I mean, come on, it's not really work. I sat by the pool, the birds sang, I drank iced tea, and talked to people who wanted to make more money. If they were open to the idea, I'd invite them to listen to a prerecorded conference call and then we talked from there about the business.
I got serious on June 21st. I kept in major production mode for about 100 days, until Canadian Thanksgiving. Then we shut the cottage down for the season.
When I looked down at my logs in mid-October I was shocked. I had enrolled 103 new personals in 100 days. I smashed every record at the company, and won a free cruise. That effort duplicated from those 103 into 8000 people in more than a dozen countries 3 years later.
How did I do it? I sat by the pool, called lead lists 4 or 5 hours a day, drank iced tea, and just flat out worked hard. It was a great summer. I had plenty of time to swim, bbq, visit with friends and family AND get work done.
Did I get some NO's? About 30 a day. But I had so many YES's, and so many prospects in the pipeline, and so much follow-up going on, that it didn't matter.
Yikes! The tuna steaks are done. Let me run out and put them on a plate. Grab yourself another cold drink and I'll be back in a minute.
Think about what kind of action you'd have to take to enroll 100 people frontline in 100 days and I'll be right back!
I appreciate you.

Coffee Is Not The secret to Big Downlines In Network Marketing
Coffee Is Not The secret to Big Downlines In Network Marketing by David Ledoux
Hey, welcome back! Have something to eat. How about a nice salad with cucumber and tomato wedges? Drizzle on some olive oil and lemon.
I know, I know, it's healthy. Where is the microwave pizza pops you ask?
We're making some changes around here. Important changes. The pizza pops are out. Alkaline producing veggies are in. It's one of the secrets to success in network marketing. Let me explain.
When you really start getting serious about building a big downline, it's going to take extra energy. Probably a lot of extra energy. Most of your serious builders will be part-time. They will have jobs, and do most of their recruiting at night. If you have some legs out of town, you'll be on the phone later, on the road later, and getting by with less sleep. Often you'll be grabbing late night food mostly out of convenience.
We call it "The Freshman 15". Most top MLM pins weigh about 15 pounds more than they did when they got into the business. Except maybe in the diet companies. Then they are generally a lot lighter!
It's than insidious crap that restaurants serve. Your body becomes a sugar-craving, sugar-burning, sugar-storing machine. Highly inefficient. But there is a better way.
Tony Robbins turned me onto a book called "Slow Burn" by Stu Mittleman. He has a killer website called www.worldultrafit.com and it has changed my life. Stu routinely runs 20 miles a day. That's right, a day. He's run over 500 miles in a week before. Guy is a fat-burning maniac.
His book is brilliant, and I recommend it to all my private coaching clients and leaders. It is what I call a "life changer". I bought a heart rate monitor for my training. I was shocked to find that I can't run yet. My heart rate when I jog is outside my ideal fat burning rate zone. I am a walker to burn fat. All that suffering and hurting I was doing when I was jogging was just burning sugar. And then making me crave chicken mcnuggies even more.
A network marketer needs energy. Stu's book reveals the path.
Okay, how was your salad? Have a handful of almonds and some green juice to finish it off...no, I don't have any spare pizza pops lying around!
I appreciate you, enjoy your fat burning adventure!

I Signed Up My First MLM Recruit....Now What Do I Do? by David Ledoux
I Signed Up My First MLM Recruit....Now What Do I Do? by David Ledoux
My goodness, you look famished! Are you on one of those crazy diets or something? Come on in, let me microwave you some Pizza Pops...let's get some calories in you. Careful, they're hot!
You sit there and nibble. Let me tell you about the time I signed up my first guy. It was December 1994. I called my buddy Peter and said, "Hey, what's your visa number?".
Pete was silent for a minute. "Who is this?" he said, only half jokingly.
"It's me. You and I are getting involved again in multi-level. We're gonna get rich. I'm serious."
That was it. Pretty much. I left out the part of him growling, grinding his teeth, grilling me on the comp plan, and the like. But since I was in, he was in.
I did a little dance. I call it the "I Got One!" dance. It's a little jig-like. You bounce on your left leg twice, then on your right leg twice, then spin around and pretend to spike the football in the end zone, all the while singing loudly, "I got one, I got one!".
So I got my buddy Pete in. Now what?
Here's a little quiz. Pretend you're me. What do you do?
a) Run an ad halfway across the country.
b) buy some dead genealogy lead lists half way across the country.
c) load 5000 emails into your Spaminator 3000.
d) help Peter make a list, help him call the list, and show presentations to his list.
Believe it or not, I picked D. Pete and I showed the plan to his buddy Eric. Eric got in. Eric and Peter showed the plan to his buddy Fabio. Fabio got in. Peter, Eric and I showed the plan to a lady named Christine. Christine got in. Eric and I showed the plan to Mario. Mario threw us out of his house. Then he got in later.
And so it went. Within a year Peter had 1000 people in his downline and a solid, passive residual income. It's now a decade later and Peter has over 25,000 people in his downline. It does over $10,000 a day in production. Not bad, eh?
I just signed a new kid named Josh. Josh is 28, hates his job, his wife hates her job, and they are expecting a baby in about 90 days. Let's take a quiz.
What should I do with Josh?
a) ignore him and hope he figures it out on his own.
b) go join a new mlm deal because mine is 14 years old.
c) load 50,000 emails into a Spaminator Mark II.
d) help Josh make a list, help him call the list, and show presentations to his list.
I picked D again. Josh and I showed the plan to Darnell. He got in. Josh and Darnell showed it to Duane. Duane is 6 foot 7. He got in. Now I have a bodyguard....wanna bet the leg has 1000 people in it by this time next year?
Oh yea...I taught Josh the dance too.
How were those Pizza Pops? Stuffed with yumminess? I thought so.
I appreciate you!

Godspeed Corey
I'm truly saddened by the passing of Corey Rudl this morning. He's one of the greatest marketing minds I have ever had the privelage of knowing. Words won't do him justice.
I remember when he called me up about 8 years ago when Assoctrac was nearly ready. I bought the 11th working version, along with nearly everything his company has ever produced. I never "knew" him like a friend or co-worker, but had the privelage of sharing the stage with him at a few seminars, and talked in the green room a few times. He and I were both Platinum Members under Dan Kennedy. He had the gift of vision. Man, he saw the future like few I have met.
The guy lived his life first class all the way. My condolences to his wife, family and staff. He'll be missed by all that admired his willingness to help others to move ahead in this world.
