If you want to be successful at MLM, it is time to start thinking of yourself as professional that you aspire to be - not as someone who sends out a different hyped-up email every week or works one of those "MLM deals."

I know that you have a burning desire to succeed because you are reading this blog. And because you do want to succeed, it is time to start thinking of yourself as professional that every one of your prospects will expect you to be. The sooner you start thinking of yourself as a professional doing professional things, sooner you will become one.

As a professional network marketer - a heavy-hitter in making - you are a leader, an entrepreneur, someone who believes in what you are doing. A leader is a self-starter, not someone who sits around waiting for his or her upline to do work. A leader takes responsibility for his or her own success. They don't blame their sponsor or program when they fail.

There are thousands of very successful people in this business who had very poor sponsors, and yet they are making thousands of dollars a month! (And you can count me as one of those). An MLM leader likes people and is concerned for their success and well being, and this is evident in way they treat their downline and prospects they communicate with.

It is also very evident in programs they choose to promote. If you are concerned about well-being of prospects you bring into this business, you won't offer them scams or get-rich-quick schemes. You will offer programs that they can be proud of, that will offer them an income for many years to come!

A leader is self-confident and enjoys what they are doing. A leader is someone who knows their own strengths and how to take advantage of them, their weaknesses and how to compensate. A leader is a continual learner as well as being a teacher.

Leaders don't wait for some guru to take them to Promised Land. They get best map they can find, prepare themselves for journey, and start out a step at a time.

“The same rejection, real or imagined, that make some people $10,000 per month in this industry will cause others to abandon their dreams,” I replied.

In MLM industry, you see heavy hitters who know how to work MLM leads flourish no matter if industry is up, down or flat. Why? What do they know that masses buying MLM leads don’t know? How are they able to quickly and easily get through enough leads and find right people to give them a $10,000+ per month lifestyle?

There’s a quote I use in our seminars, “The fire that burns one person warms another”.

Heavy hitters know how to get warmed and not burned in working MLM leads.

First, a couple of facts.

FACT #1 – MLM lead quality has steadily gone down over last 10 years.

FACT #2 – The quantity of leads has risen and well as number of MLM lead companies.

Fact #3 – MLM lead lists are sold over and over again. The people you call have heard their phone ring many times from these lists!

Being at junction of these three facts is needlessly hurting tens of thousands of well intentioned MLMr’s.

Our survey of top MLM lead list buyers who make full-time incomes has revealed three critical points.

Critical point #1 – A manual phone sort after an internet automated sort is no longer enough. You used to be able to ask someone 3-4 qualifying questions and determine who you should take through your information process. Not anymore. Now numbers you need take through most systems are three to four times what they were just a few years ago.
