What are people looking for?

Dave Stone:

What are people really looking for when they decide to embark on their own home-based networking business?

This is an important question you should seek to answer. Understand one thing, you cannot answer it for the person you are trying to recruit. You must learn this answer from them. You will need to develop the skills to hear what their real reasons are for considering leaving their comfort zone.

    Is there a website like Monster.Com where people who ARE looking for business opportunities can list their names? Monster.Com and othes exist for people looking for jobs. Why not one for people looking for business opportunities!

    I am a 23 year old finance student at OK State. I have been involved in Mona Vie since April of ’06. I have successfully built a strong downline over the last year and I believe that you could be interested in it. MLM heavyweights like Brig Hart are actively involved. There’s 8 ways to make money and the earning potential is unlimited.

  • E Howorth on April 22nd, 2007 at 9:35 pm

    I have been searching myself. I tell you I have had a hard time finding people. Everyone wants it “free”. I know I started with less than $100. Let me know if you find one.

  • Pete Sheridan on November 14th, 2007 at 4:04 pm

    I have been involved in several MLM’s all have been good – but recruitment is difficult. This one “Fortune” has got to have the best pay plan of any I have seen. You dont need to recruit 100′s of people – recruit a few good ones and help them become successfull and you will be too. Take a look -

  • Joe on January 25th, 2008 at 7:19 pm

    Mr Howorth
    I was in the same boat as u before and I gave up but dont I found a new company with a great comp plan and its great check it out it cant hurt if u want to know more contact me. Keep ur head up

  • Randall on January 30th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

    We help people get in touch with actual people involved in home-based business already, that way they can learn and speak from a multitude of people at one time and decide for themselves. If you’re interested check out our site.

  • Elishacool on February 12th, 2008 at 9:21 am

    lWhat the MLM Pros never told you. To build huge fortune in the MLM industry you need to get in with a company very early or you get in with a company that has little or no competition in the market. If you want to start a network marketing business get in with a company that has little or no competition and I guarantee you that you will succeed. If you are interested in such a business opportunity and adventure visit our site and you will not regret.

  • Mary Sanchez on March 12th, 2008 at 2:55 pm

    Seriously Fortune Hi Tech Marketing is the best company. They have been in business for 7 years most MLM’s only last months. The company is 100% debt free and it is a company that was started for the rep not for the benefit of the company. People need to really seriously look at this opportunity! You will never go wrong with it! Our team is full of millionares and we are winners! the support is absolutely fanatastic!

  • L. Johnson on March 17th, 2008 at 8:18 am

    Most people get into companies based upon emotion. Comp plans, you see quick money, to draw you in. Doesn’t last because you lose your downline when they don’t make money. 97% don’t make money. Before you look here. Look at the economy. A company with no loops. Everyone gets paid through infinity, not just your first 10 levels. Just sponsor two people. Binary pay plan which allows everyone to get spill over. So people are forced into your business and you get credit. There are no monthly fee’s. No monthly volume. Listen to Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, talk about our industry. It is shocking.

  • Tracy on March 22nd, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    I have read some of the replies to questions about MLM and I have to say the best way to make money is getting in on the ground floor. The binary comp plan also seems to be the most lucrative. Take at look at one of the newest companies, and that it is one of a kind no competitors.

  • Damon Belle on April 15th, 2008 at 11:37 am

    Hello,

    I see you were looking for a home business. If you have found one then that’s great, but I have found A really good one that gives you a free business, and website. The pay plan is penomenal, and copywritten. All you have to do is purchase one product, and that’s only 20 bucks, which is really great for gaining this as your next added source of income. You really can’t beat it. My wife and I are benefiting from taking the product right now. I have alot more energy, and just feel noticably better every day. I truly think this is one of those opportunities that one finds that is before the trend instead of after it, because it’s so new! here is the link, I hope you get it

    Hi

    I was involved in a few MLM companies before I became wiser as to what to look for so that we can achieve the success that we want.

    Nowadays, any MLM companies I join must pass my checklist

  • Angelo on August 28th, 2008 at 3:01 am

    I personally know a lot of people a time being MLM entrepreneurs.. they worked hard, traveled all around the country joining training conferences and staying far from home all the time. These people now have 2 things in common.. 1) they decided to look for a change in life and 2) they founded a new exciting business opportunity that has given them wealth & freedom to spend their time when how where they want with the people they want, every moment of their life!

    They are still blessing those days they took that life-changing decision, and they are really excited to share their stories with you today.

    If you want to understand how former MLM struggling entrepreneurs builded wealth & freedom with their new global home direct sale business (you just need a computer and a phone) and you want to discover how to replicate their astonishing results, we’ll be glad to help you create your new success story!

  • Tony Simmons on August 29th, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    If I find a way to contact all of these members and let them know about the company I am apart of, I can show them all success. Do they have email addresses or web addresses?

  • Dan Volonino on September 5th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    I’m not here to recruit anyone, I am here to share my company to help thousands of people change their lives in this downturn economy. Our company is a 14 year old, 600 million dollar global powerhouse endorsed by Donald Trump, Zig Zigler, Tony Robbins, all the key money earners. They publicly have said that if your looking to make money, our company is the way to go! We are involved in the 1.25 trillion dollar industry of communications, THE VIDEO PHONE REVOLUTION, and advances in satellite communications. Our video phone is patented and is equal to the internet revolution! You have no idea what is about to happen and I am here to tell you that I am twenty years old following my father’s footsteps. He has over 30,000 reps and 100,000 customers! I am building my kingdom now and looking for serious players. Now I applaud everyone on here involved with mlm, it is an amazing industry. I respect that all of you are successful in what you do. Like I said, I am not here to convince anyone. But I will share this. There are lots of mlm companies out there correct? Some sell vitamins, juices, make-up, sex toys, and other items. At best these markets hit 50 percent of the population and many targeting less than that. Now in mlm it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that the goal is to find a company that appeals to the most masses. Those make the most money! Our company targets over 95 percent of people because who do you know that watches tv, uses a home phone, has a cell phone, uses the internet, and wants to see the newest technology that is predicted to put 400 to 500 billion dollars into an industry our company has created! Everyone! If you keep your business options open or even if your just curious on the video phone, feel free to contact me. I’m just an ordinary person just like you. We can chat about mlm or whatever your interests may be, however I am not interested in joining any other company so please do not bother. God Bless and I wish you all the best of luck!

  • steve on November 18th, 2008 at 2:47 pm

    Most people look for the next best widget or potion or whatever. What if someone created a business for people that had a 21% direct level 1 commission, level 2 @ 6% and then 3-3-3%? Add in a brand new product, never seen before, has Hollywood uniting with education, fantastic research results to prove its worth of its mission and has only just begun? Find out it’s actually a game that is scoring high with kids and parents and educators? Is not a high pressue sales machine, doesn’t have PVs or CVs or quotas or autoships, or doesn’t need you to stockpile product in the garage or guest room? Is backed by succesful business leaders of different industries and professionals in the education world? Has Hollywood designers in character and art development-people whose work you’ve seen in Lucas and Spielberg films and Power Rangers, and a soon to be released kids movie called LaBou?

    Well, that business hit reality on 9-30-08 and was released out of Chicago and has already spread into 19 states by a handful of us believers. 31 more states need representation and then we go back and fill in the gaps from border to border but I need help.

    This business of an educational game is making hits with all kids of kids, parents, grandparents and educators. A game that has improved skill sets of spelling, word comprehensin, reading and math.

    This is waht can make a busines, components like these- business that actually helps, is needed, is cool, and has collectability and has easy pay plans and nothing complicatd.

    If this fits into this thread, I’m happy. If it fits into your business thread, I’m happy and can help. This is the 2nd best business model I’ve found.

  • Barry on December 24th, 2008 at 10:52 am

    Hi
    I have found a company that is in the early stage of development in the health and wellness business.

I would like you to join my team.

    I am a online business woman for the past 5 years and this is where my second income generates. I received an email a couple days ago from another business colleague inviting me to take a look at an opportunity which I found very intriguing. It is currently in prelaunch but will be launched some time later this month. It is very affordable and will be paying in my opinion extremely well. With the global financial crisis everyone can benefit from this with only a little effort. Take a look at the website. I am sure you would do what I did a couple days ago. I joined right away.

    Hi Everyone,

    These posts are interesting , I am a 58 year old grandma and have had a bit of experience with MLM. I was involved with A wonderful company that truly lived up to their promises and educated people on product that everyone needs to have in place for their families. I loved what I did and was successful because of my belief and the difference it made for average people to have this educated knowledge that only the rich were privy to. All fell apart for me after a car accident challenged my health.

    Because of my previous success, many people contacted me over the next ten year period of my life with products that would help me and others but I just couldn’t get excited about any of them. Somehow , they just didn’t fit with my beliefs.

    I truly believe in ” the helping others ” concept and I have seen many, many opportunities out there and none have grabbed my attention because of the usual mark up and levels so I knew I wouldn’t do well, but continued searching for a business.

    I finally have found one, that truly offers something I have not ever experienced , a true and rare opportunity.

  • anne on February 19th, 2009 at 3:23 am

    Hi Again,
    I fogot to mention that it is not MLM but Direct Marketing. Commissions start at 1000.00 The market is huge and there are alot of big ,big earners. No products to stock. all is taken care of by the Company and you own your business.

  • Lisa Medina on February 23rd, 2009 at 8:41 pm

    I think people are looking for other people that are successful so that they may follow in their footsteps. People are looking for someone to give them them the secrets to success, the tools, the training, all the answers. What I find every so often is even when given the so called secrets and tools, they don’t do it and don’t try, and then obviously they will not get anywhere and give up. Those are the ones that seem to complain and talk about MLM’s in a negative way. If you try and have the how to’s and then do it, than there should be no excuses.

  • Richard on March 21st, 2009 at 5:18 pm

  • DEBBIE SCOTT on April 4th, 2009 at 2:52 am

    Hi there
    I agree . there has to be unique product with no competition backe by a company with agood track record. Im with one thats just been launched and is the brainchild of all the big movers and shakers of two recession proof industries at a low cost price with no contract

  • Frank on April 4th, 2009 at 10:50 am

    I’ve been doing the whole MLM business for a while now and only two out of at least a dozen companies seemed to work for me. Still, people always want everything to be free. What they don’t get is that you have to spend money to make money. That’s how business works, if you don’t understand that simple statement then you will never make money. If you are ready to spend money to make money then you’re on the right track to success. Check out my site (this one is the low-cost one). If you want help with your business or if you are looking to make money online please contact me.

  • Jacklin Octave on May 3rd, 2009 at 11:03 pm

    Hey Everyone!
    Im glad that we found a place where everyone wants to talk about their experiences in MLM or in Direct Marketing. I tell you what, in order for us to be successful in MLM, we have to fail from the start. Because when you apply for a job in any companies, they are going to ask you what you can do for the company, not what the company is going to do for you. What i mean by that, when you start your own business opportunity, you are going to be in the process of learning while you earning. If you wanna know how to build trust in people, you gonna have to know how to sell yourself, not your business.

    Lol! Im not going to leave any website, but you can contact me in my cellphone: (636) 426 0485.
    Guess what? I get paid every time i pay my wireless bills. Wouldn’t you want to know more about that? Just call!!!

  • Earl on July 9th, 2009 at 4:11 pm

  • Mike Papadopoulos on July 10th, 2009 at 8:05 am

    This is to Bruce Kirking. Yes there are websites for people that are looking for MLMs. Yuwie.com is one of those. Be aware that when you sign up, you will be absolutely inundated with offers from thousands of MLM companies. You will have a hard time sorting through all of them!

  • Kaynijo on July 28th, 2009 at 10:04 am

    I recently got into MLM myself, after years of being approached to join the industry. I have found an amazing company with relevant and cutting edge products that suits most people’s lifestyle – myself included. It’s GREAT!!

    MLMarketing as taken quite a few negative blows over the years, but from my experience thus far – what you put in, is what you’ll get out!! So NOTHING in = NOTHING out!!!! However, if you treat it like a business, it’ll most definitely pay you like one!!!!

    The potential to earn unlimited amounts goes without saying. However, this industry has made me into a different person today – the self growth that I have achieved thus far is absolutely PRICELESS!!!!!

  • Lyn Mercer on September 10th, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    Have you heard of Binomial Marketing or Vertical Marketing. Its based on 2 sales distribution centers not 100’s. Why 2? Averages show that people have been proven to build 2.8 sales
    organizations. In a vertical system everyone is placed directly below you. You are
    not paid on levels. You get 100% credit for the volume your organization produces through infinity. No one is next to you because
    you can only be placed below someone.

    In the Binomial scenario everyone benefits from each other. This creates synergy and teamwork. Thus allowing the team or network to
    succeed because everyone has an economic bond to each other. It’s simply a work of genius.
    I have seen this tried and proven formula work on many distributors. We all work together. The more successful my team is the more successful I become!

  • TRich on October 5th, 2009 at 7:48 am

    I have been in the network business arena for about 10 years now. I have tried many different opportunities but I have finally found the one for me. Its called Ardyss International, makers of the BODY Magic! Where you lose 2 to 3 sizes instantly.
    This opportunity gives me a great residual income and helps change the lives of others. I have placed customers in the garments we sale (Body Magic) and they have literally cried on my shoulder in amazement of how this garment has completely reshaped their body instantly.
    Not only did it reshape their bodies but it reshaped their confidence in themselves. The business opportunity is one of the best I’ve seen and I believe anyone investigating this business will agree. There are 10 different ways you can get paid and you start making money immediately. I encourage you to investigate this opporunity.

  • michael on November 19th, 2009 at 9:12 pm

    This is the only mlm that I ever thought that anyone that i sponsored could succeed with it including myself.

  • Donald Sanders on January 11th, 2010 at 12:02 pm

    So many opportunities and so many Companies using MLM to move their product, a new person getting in to MLM may be looking for fast money, what they don’t know it takes time and effort, it’s not fast money, if you only have $100 – $500 to start with, it takes effort, if it’s free it takes effort, one must be willing to work, one can spend the same amount of time working the Business no matter if it was free or if it cost money to start the Business, they must be willing to do the work, the good thing about MLM you are making a % of the effort all the people on your team, in time it will pay off, as you build your team, and your team members build their team, if you are looking for a Business to start for free, look here

  • Patty Fortin on June 2nd, 2010 at 2:44 pm

    When I was researching MLMs for what I wanted to get into, I was determined that my choice would involve a young, cutting edge global company, that was growing. I found that in Talk Fusion. 3-years-young, in over 80 countries and still growing.
    Do you send or receive emails? Most of the world does – and Talk Fusion capitalizes on that technology.
    Video email, with over 400 customized templates for family, business, or pleasure. Video responders, video conferencing, a 3-D social networking site, and much more.
    For less than $200, plus a small monthly fee, you only need to sponsor two people and help them build their business. You get paid on the efforts of everyone in your downline, whether you sponsor them or not.
    Talk Fusion has no competition, and is a debt-free company. It’s run by a dynamic entrepreneur who just reduced the cost of fee – have you ever heard of a company do that?
    I’d love to send you a sample of what I’m talking about.

  • LeVive Juice on August 11th, 2010 at 12:42 pm

    There’s hundreds of MLM opportunities to choose from, and many are well respected and deserving of your time and energy in building a lucrative downline. In saying that, there’s a really good and reputable health and wellness MLM company that specializes in reshaping garments, nutritional, and skin care products. Their revolutionary concept of reshaping the body from the outside-in and reviving the body from the inside-out has catapulted the company to expand rapidly into the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, Peru and Mexico with future goals for new international markets.

    In fact, reports are showing that this industry will be worth one trillion dollars by the year 2010. The health and wellness industry is getting stronger and sales are soaring as more and more people are becoming health-conscious. Plus the health and wellness industry also prospered due to a decline in trust of traditional medicines in this country. This is an excellent opporunity for those who are looking to start their business within the Health and Wellness industry and importantly, with a company that has little or no competition in the market!

    Here’s a hint: To build huge fortune in the MLM industry you need to get in with a company very early and that has little or no competition in the market. You’ll then be guaranteed to succeed. If you are interested in such a business opportunity with lucrative WEEKLY payouts, visit levive-juice.com for more info. No products to stock and drop shipping available! Company takes care of payment processing and you own your business.
